them in return. In order not to starve to DEATH the
cities sent soldiers and took the crops and cattle from

DOES IT PAY TO BE
GOOD"
Being Good
Little Fun
Well. youngster - that de-
ponds!
Personally, must admit that
I don't find Being Good much
fun! I realize, of course, that
it's necessary. And admirable.
M maybe I'll get a halo for it
some day. But honesty compels
me to confess I don't enjoy 1t.
In the first place, 1t doesn't
come up to the Sales Talk! I
was told-just as you were-that
I'd be blissfully happy If were
good.
But wasn't. Also, that every
one would love me. But they
didn't. M that everything I
attempted would succeed. But
it hasn't.
To the contrary, I'VE lost more
money and riled more friends by
my infrequent attempts to be
Really Good, than by all my sins
and plumbers put together. And
though it bewildered me, at
the time-I can see the reason
for this now.
Have you yet seen the magnifi-
cent movie-'THE LIFE OF
EMILE ZoLA"? Possibly not.
But when you do, suspect you'll
feel much happier about Good
ness.
In this play, Paul MUM plays
the part of the rich and idolized
writer, lola. Born in the SlumS,
lola has carried the memory Of
their dark agony with him in his
swift flight to fame. Then, at
the height Of his success, the
challenge comes
Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, brilliant
young officer in the French
army and the only Jew on the
general staff, has been framed by
secret foes-tricked into signing
a. seeming confession Of treason
deprived Of his rank-Sent to
a living death on Devils Island.
Though many suspect that
Dreyfus is the victim Of racial
intolerance, none dare try to
save him. Yet his heart-broken
wife pleads and, at last, Zola-
the great and illustrious lola
decides to undertake his defense.
Condemned
As Traitor
That trial made history. Start
ing as a defense of DreyfuS, 1t
became a deadly attack on lola.
who was, in turn, condemned as
a traitor-forced to flee for his
life.
Yet, though he paid a tragic
price, lola won. Dreyfus was
freed And as lola lay on his
bier, with all France bowling be-
fore him in shame and gratitude.

Sl00 he wouldn't make three
base-hits all season.
Moore came down to September
with only one hit, and then he got
two hits in one game to win the
bet. He collected his $500 off
Ruth and after the world series
went back to his home near Hol-
lis, Okla, and bought a pair of
mules with the money. He named
one of them Babe" and the other
Ruth"
An odd thing about Moore was
that he had the perfect stance at
the plate, and a perfect swing.
He looked like he could hit, but
he always missed. The secret Of
the way he couldn't hit was that
he always swung in the same al
ley. All a pitcher had to do wa
throw him a low or high ball, and
he'd swing under it or over it, as
the case might be.

New York -U.P)- Some of the
boys were sitting around on a
rainy day recently and fell to talk
ing about the worst hitter they
ever saw in ba,eball.
Joe Mccarthy, YankS' manager,
nominated Pitcher Johnny Broa-
ca on his club and Guy Bush, who
pitched for him with the Cubs.
Most of the Yanks agreed with
Mccarthy on Broaca, eX-Yale
boy who learned to pitch from a
series of articles in boys maga-
zine he picked up off dump pile.
Apparently the articleJ did not
have anything in them on hitting.
Broaca hit ITO last year, making
8 hits in 81 times at bat.
Jimmy Dykes, White Sox man
ager, however, doesn't think Bro
aca is the worst hitter he ever
saw.
"Broaca made two hits in one
game against up last year. said
Dykes, and both of them were
line drives. I don't know who the
worst hitter is, but I suspect right
now he's on our club. We're not
even making big breeze when we
swing
Muddy Ruel, White SoX coach
spoke up, The wort hitter on
our club isn't in the lineup now"
The reference was to Dykes, who
was nursing a lame leg at the
time.
You never broke down any
fences that I ever heard Of" chirp-
ed Dykes.
Frank Graham. columniSt of
the New York Sun, then told the
story Of two pitchers, Pol Perritt
and Freddie Schupp, on the New
York Giant; in 1917 who thought
they were hitterS.
They bet a suit of clothes in
the spring on who'd have the
highest batting average" recalled
Graham. They we're positively
two of the worst hitters who ever
swung a bat. Perritt won the bet.
He hit .O31. Schupp hit .078. I
think a base on balls decided the
winner"
Wayne K. CT-Bone) Otto, a
Chicago new paperman, told about
the time Guy Bush hit a pop fly
to centerfield and the outfielder
dropped the ball.
1T was the easiest kind of a
chance and it was scored an er-
ror," said Otto. But Bush kept
yelling about the way the play
was scored. Every time a scribe
would come around Bu@h would
tell him it was a crime a fellow
couldn't get a base hit without a
scorer robbing him of it."
Then there was the time in
1927 at the Yankees training
camp when Babe Ruth watched
Wiley Moore, relief pitcher, take
few swings at bat.
There is positively the worst
hitter in baseball" caid Ruth.
