Ey JACK CUDDY

New York, June %. -IU.H'-On
form you are forced to pick
tn! Ma icnal League to beat the
American League again in Their
All-Star game at Washington on
July 7.
Thi. will be the fifth All-Star
Ceme. The American LeaguerS
won three of them, but were beat
en- IN the last one at Boston.
This indica es that the percent
age is definitely against Ford
F.ick's senior circuit, but if you
get out your pencils and analyzc
the two QuadS that will meet
at Washington, you will find that
the figures favor a second Nation
al division victory.
Joe Mccarthy of tne New York
Yankees and Bill Terry OF the
New York Giants, manager. OF
last seasons two pennant winners,
have selected % players from
eacch circuit to battle it out at
Wa hington. Each manager pick
ed six pitchers to represent his
circuit.
Ana when you total this sea-
sons statistic for both of those
helf-d0zen FINGERS, you'll 1lnd
that he National League hurlerS
have a won and lost advantage OF
Il.158 percentage points over the
the moundSmcn in Will Harrldge'S
circuit.
Of cour when the top flight
PLAYERS of the two leagues COL
lide in only one game like this,
the breaks of en- mean the differ
encc between victory and defeat,
But-before the game starts, each
side has The same chance OF get
ting those break; SO-Weu con-
centrate on form. And, on form,
the pitching in a single game like
this is all important.
That's why 1 emphasize that
the six National League pitchers
selected have won SO and lost only
30 game this season, whereas the
American League half-dozen tWlrl-
ers have won only 40 and lost
20. That's why Dean. Hubbell,
Van Murgo. Blanton, Walters and
GrisSom. should be able to GU
pitch Grove. Stratton, Harder,
Gomez, Ferrell and Bridges.
You've got four right-handcrS
and two south-paW5 on each
squad-if that means anything.
I think Bill Terry has decided
advantage in selecting his start
ing pitcher because he can pick
Carl Hubbell, the screw ball king,
if he de Tres a southpaW, and the
great Dizzy Dean, if he prefers a
right t-hander. Most fans consid-
er them the two best pitchers in
the game today. Hubbell has won
10 and lost only four his sea on.
Dean won II and lost s.
For several seasons The Nation
al League has been diStingui hcd
for its tight pitching, whereas
the American circuit has been
noted for is power at bat. Well
when the boys tangle this time
there will be little difference in
batting power-if the ;tatiSticS in
the two leagues, against the same
uniform ball, mean anything.
Forgetting the catChCrS, for the
moment. you'll find that the total
infield and outfield bat ing
strength of men selected for the
American squad total only two
more percentage points than the
Nationals. National batting power
total .321 against 1923 for the
Americans. And if you must con-
slider the CatcherS-We find that
Har;nctt, ManCuso and Lombard

Ryder Cup Golf
Play Begins In
England Today
.iasan Figures Americans
Will Break Even In the
Scotch FOursOme
BY HARRY PERCY

United Press Staff Correspondent
Southport. Eng. June 28.-Qu.G
The United States was even
money tonight to retain the Ry-
der Cup in the sixth biennial pro-
fessional golf team matches OPEN
ing tomorrow with England and
become the first nation ever to
triumph as an invader. In all
previous matches the home team
has won.
Walter Hagen. non-playing cap
tain of the U. S. team, is banking
on the Americans gaining an even
break in tomorrow's Scotch four
somcS. beginning at 10 a. m. and
then winning the majority Of the
eight 36-hole singles matches on
Wednesday.
In picking the U. S. team Ha-
gen left off Horton Smith and
Sam Snead. The pairings for the
36-hole two-ball matches over the
tough Southport and Ainsdale
courses follow:
Ed Dudley and Byron Nelson. U.
S., VS.. Alfred Padgham and Hen
ry Cotton, England.
Ralph Guldahl and Tony Man.
ero, U. S., VS.. Arthur Lacey and
William Cox, England.
Gene Sarazen and Denny Shutc,
U. S., VS.. Charles Whitcombe and
David Rees, England.
Henry Picard and Johnny Re-
volta, U. S., VS.. Percy AlliS and
Richard Burton, England.
The experts feel that the four
somes will wind up in an even
break, with only an outside chance
of either nation winning a 81
margin. The pairlngS caused no
big surprise on either side. Gull
dahl, present U. S. open champ
ion. and Manero, 1896 u. S. open
titleholder, were picked over Hor-
ton Smith and Snead because they
are playing better together.
The big match is expected to be
the No. 3 duel between Sarazen-
Shute and Whitcombe- -ReeS. The
outcome of this match may decide
the whole series. Padgham and
Cotton are favored over Dudley
and Nelson, who are offered more
or less, as sacrifices" with only
an outside chance of pulling off a
victory. Guldahl and Manero are
favored over Lacey and Cox and
the Picard-Revolta against Allis-
Burton match is regarded as an
even thing.
The Sarazen- -Shute and Whit
combe -Rees match is regarded as
toss-up but Sarazen thinks he
and Shute can beat any British
pair. Gene is playing iron from
the tees, placing his ball even for
the second shot. Shute is playing
steady and putting like a fiend.
On the other hand, Rees is Tie
reigning unofficial match play
champion of England While Whit
combe is generally regarded as
the worlds best partner.
If the United States gets an
even break in the foursomes then
the invaders are apt to take the
singles, SIS, and take the trophy
back across the Atlantic.
The Americans received their
first real taste of Southport Wca-
ther today. The sky was overcast
and a strong gale blew from the
sea and across the course. adding
at least three strokes to par. In the
afternoon a slight rain developed
into a heavy downpour. driving
across the course. The Americans
seemed upset for they played
poorly. However, the forecast for
tomorrow is good weather.

No End.

"The history of the Renaissance ends
In France" says Walter Pater; but prob
ably he did not wish to be taken literally.
Having done his part to maintain the
spirit of the great cultural rebirth, he
certainly was conscious Of the fact that
there is no termination for such .
movement. 1t was his privilege and his
pleasure to prove his own thesis wrong.
Consider Michelangelo, for example.
Shall he be called dead when millions
Of people still praise his name? Let
every work that bears that name perish,
he yet Is safe in Immortality. His
legend is dynamic. Its power grows with
successive generations. The romance
Of 1t stirs unnumbered hearts. Men are
proud Of what he was and what he did.
Only the other day the government

How Simplified Rapid
Transit Works in Newark

To the Editor Of The Star:
Since writing you on the subject of
buses and street cars, I had occasion to
stop in another city about the size of
Washington. BY way of confirming,
through a concrete instance. what I had
written to you, particularly observed
the methods In use there to guide the
riding public, which is done simply and
effectively as follows:
l. All bus and car routes have route
numbers. No exceptions.
2. Route number and the destination
appear clearly on the front OF every bus
and car. No exceptions.
). Route number and the destination
appear clearly on the side of every bus
and car. at the entrance 20 that destina-
ton and route are plainly visible to every
passenger as he gets aboard. No excep-
tions.
4. In the busiest part Of the downtown
section. at every car stop or bus stop
Mgnboard Is posted at the curb, giving
the numbers Of all routes that will pick
up passengers at that point. No excep-
tions.
In Washington Nos. 1 and z are OBJ
served sporadically, No. 3 very imperfect
ly. II at all, and No. 4 none whatever.
These facts are Of themselves sufI1cient
commentary and explain the unfavorable
comparison as respects guidance OF car
and bus patrons in Warrington and other
cities. The city in which these observa-
tions were made is Newark, N. J. Similar
comparisons could be made with other
places. r. r. WOOD.

works currently offer the plays Of WI
liam Shakespeare. Transcribed to paper
by the most sensitive fingers that ever
held pen, they are not dated. Instead
they are timeless. Every man Is Hamlet,
Othello, King Lear-even poor drunken
Caliban. But also, providentially, Pros
pero. The many parts that each soul
plays are merely phases of the expert
ence through which the pilgrim makes
his progress. Small wonder, then, that
the master bard is popular.
From a Washington home this parable
emerges: To blind woman, ninety
four Winters weary, they brought her
youngest great-eranddauehter, aged six
hours. The ancient lady gently felt the
infants head, then smiled: II think she
looks like me-" It was a quaint conceit.
but no one laughed; because, incredibly.
It happened to be true.
