Good Pitching

All credit to them for their
work, especially Heffner, for he
had several hard chances. Kuhel
just caught the throws. The
figures tell a story of pretty
good pitching by Thornton Lee
and Clint Brown, who twirled
for the White Sox. They must
have had plenty of stuff to keep
the opposition beating the ball
into the dirt.
Reviewing briefly some of the
games in the American League
yesterday, baseball fans are glad
to note that Schoolboy Rowe
pitched five scoreleSs innings
against the Cleveland Indians.
doing a remarkably fine relief
job. He allowed only one hit,
If Rowe's arm cooled without
developing soreness, he may
come back and help the Tigers
in their battle for the flag.
Rowe admitted that his arm
bothered him when he pitched
this spring, and it was feared
then that he might never pitch
another major league ball game.
The outlook is different now,
and considerably brighter.

M IT who, at ~
AZ years of age.
~ IS start ing
Buck O'Neill his thirteenth
season of major league ball.
"How's my pal Zeke Bonura
going?" asked OFT.
He was assured that zeke was
going great.
He ought to help that Wash
ington club" OFT said. Hes a
great fellow. You know. I live
in New Orleans with Zeke and
see a great deal of him in the
off season. We go hunting to-
gether. I never heard a single
man in all my travels who didn't
have a good word for him.
That is unusual. for there is
always someone who nurses a
peeve. real or imaginary,
against a man in public life.
Zeke is a public character. I
guess we all are.
Il never saw anyone who car
ries his enthusiasm. He is a
tireless worker on the field or
In business. He works with his
daddy in the off season in the
wholesale produce business and
everybody buys from him.
Everybody likes him.
Gust a Kid"
HE is just a big kid" OFT
said, and his mother treats
him like baby. She orders
him around and zeke just
laughs and hugs her and says,
Sure, mama, do what you
say, and he does it.
Il got a letter from home
today. and everyone in New
Orleans celebrated Zeke's sue
cess in the opening game of
the season. It was like the big
guy to hit a home run with the
President of the United States
in the stands looking at him.
He'll put a punch in that lineup
Just as sure as he plays"
The talk naturally turned to
the National League race, and to
the Giants.
What kind of a manager is
Terry?" 1 asked OFT.
"A great manager" came the
response. HE knows the game
and is a good Judge of ball play
ers. A fine fellow to work with
during a game.
He is different from Nc
Graw." OFT explained. THE
old man ran the ball club and
no one had anything 10 say.
Terry is different. You can
suggest things to him, and he'll
at least listen to you. Maybe
he'll try the stuff you suggest.
Cubs Tough With Dean
"In the pinches though, he
makes his own decisions and
stands on them"
What about the Dean trader"
! asked OFT.
I'VE can't figure it out" he
answered. I'VE can't see Branch
Hickey selling Dean if he was as
good as he used to be. If D an
is right, the Cubs will be tougher
to beat than they were figured
before the trade. They we're
pretty tough as they were"
I asked OFT if he preferred
playing third base to his former
outfield job.
1T is more interesting" he
said. You are in the game at
third base. You know every
thing that is going on, and I like
1t better. Sometimes they hit
that ball down there pretty
hard, but that's part of the
game. I hit some down there
pretty hard myself"
Joe Kuhel stepped into the.
1imelight and handled %
chances at first base, a new
major league record, as the
Browns and Chicago White Soz
played a 13-inning game yester-
day. He broke the record set
by Bill OBrien, former Wash
ington player in 1888. Don Heff-
ner, former Yankee, had Is
chances, IL of them assists, to
set a new record.

MAKE PLAY
EQUIPMENT.

Little children will need safe play
places if mother is to work efficiently
and not have to worry about where the
toddlers are and what they are doing.
They love to climb and dig, and it
takes many activities and some equip
ment in a suitable place to keep them
busy and contented.
A warm, sunny porch protected from
north winds makes grand place on
rainy, cold days. A swing, a sand box,
a short ladder for climbing, some boxes
and boards and blocks for building, a
board to walk along, not only keep
children happy but contribute to CO.
ordinated body movement. Such equip
ment costs very little in money, but so
many children grow up without it be-
cause their parents do not know it is
necessary to take interest in pro-
Viding it.
The Children's Bureau in the Depart
ment of Labor at Washington, D. c.,
has just printed a new bulletin, Home
Play and Play Equipment" which con-
tains plans and suggestions. 1t is free
of charge and busy parents cannot af-
ford to be without it.
