Wild Horse on Rampage,
Cords Hopes Soor.

Pepper Martin, the Wild Horse of
the Usage, is popular in every sec
ton of the country. But you have
to reach the Middle West, especially
the Oklahoma and Texas reserva-
tions, to know how they feel about
him.
You get it everywhere you land
out this "Whaddya think of
old Pepper? They said he was
through and he's better'n ever.
There's what you call a ball player
not 100 per cent, but l2O per cent
of all he's got in every game"
There have been some few greater
ball players, but none that ever
gave more to every inning of his
career.
1t has been a long time since
Pepper stole everything from Phila-
delphia but the Liberty Bell. He
might have stolen that if he hadn't
seen 1t was cracked.
The Pepper has been one of the
main reasons for the Cardinals
spring splurge. He has been a ball
OF fire when needed, ball of fire
travelling on legs that have taken
10-year beating at top speed.
Late in March Ray Blades and
Branch Hickey figured the Car
dinals would finish anywhere be-
tween second and seventh. They
had no idea at that time that
Pepper intended any such spring
upheaval.
If the Wild Horse can keep trav-
cling the Cardinals will be pennant
contenders all the way.
There still are more than a few
remnants of the old Gas House
Gang hanging around. Medwick and
Martin are two of them, and Joe
is a much better ball player now
than he was when the Gas House
was ganging the league.

won't Ever Beot Himself "
Pol Soys of Joe

Joe knows that Galento can hit
hard enough if he lands. so he ism t
going to take any chances He
might not rush this fight as fast as
he had his last three. which ended
in the first. He'll use that left
jab till he gets an opening and then
turn both hands loose. He's sore at
Tony for calling him bum and I
don't believe that is going to help
Tony lot. But it won't make Joe
wild or careless. He'll still fight his
fight
"One thing about joe" he con-
tinued. He never brags. He'll tell
you what he thinks, but you know
it amt Dragging.
Just one more thing-Joe's made
up his mind that he won't ever beat
himself. Somebody better than he
is will have to do the beating. You'll
never see him in the ring from now
on out of shape. He's found out
that he can be knocked down and
knocked out. He don't want that to
ever happen again-if he can
helm it."

NEW YORK, May 23.-Tommy
Wright, Knoxville, Tenn, pro, shot
36 holes in 1872 strokes yesterday to
qualify for the National Open Tour
nament, but the chances are he
won't be heard from again.
Wrights performance was the best
OF the many low-scoring feats that
marked yesterdays sectional quail
Tying rounds at 80 sites. He put
together rounds of 68 and 81 to
knock eight strokes off par for At
lanta's famous East Lake course.
Whether Wright can shoot the
same sort of golf through four
gruelling rounds in the tournament
proper at the Philadelphia Country
Club. June 8, 9 and 10, is another
question. It's not unusual for some
unknown player to get hot in these
widespread sectional tests, but when
the showdown comes it's generally
a man who has had plenty of ex-
perience in major tournament play
who picks up the marbles.

of steam boiler, pressing machine
and all that piping which would look
rather odd out in the kitchen,
wouldn't it?
The irons have water reservoir
in their top sides, and before you get
ready to run over a shirt or two you
fill the tank" plug in the iron, and
in a short time you will have a
stream of steam coming out of the
under side of the iron. This steam
obviously makes ironing a complete
cinch, and you probably will have
to fight with your wife or husband
for the dubious privilege of doing the
family wash.

If your home is equipped with a
hot-air heater you are more than
likely bothered by the dust and dirt
which are carried up through the
pipes by the hot air. This dirt is one
OF the irritating things about that
type Of heating plant, and unless you
have new type of forced-air heat
ing, or air conditioning, you find evil
dences of basement dirt all the way
through the house up to the farthest
reaches of the maze of pipes.
We saw some little gadgets the
other day which help lot in cutting
down that dirt without affecting the
heating business. They are nothing
but small pads of steel wool which
are placed in back of each register
face. They are about an inch thick
and so loosely put together that
there is ample room for warm air
to come out.
After the pads have become pretty
well filled with dirt you merely take
them out, shake out the dust, and
put them back in place for more
service.

New Sponge StippIine
Is Used on Walls

An interesting version Of wall I'm
ish Is what is known as sponge
stippling. After the wall has been
painted plain color, large sponge
is dipped in paint Of another color
or shade and tamped lightly but
firmly on the wall to form an ir-
regular all-over pattern. Sponges,
incidentally, are now being "farmed"
somewhat in the manner Of vege-
tables. Due to the fact that fisher
men, with hook or knife, have gath
cred sponges from the ocean bottom
for centuries, the supply has begun
to diminish noticeably.
From necessity, scientific planting
and cultivating of sponges was be-
gun few years ago by group Of
Bahamans in cooperation with the
British colonial government. From
live sponges, brought up by divers,
small pieces were cut, each piece re-
tanning an "eye." These cuttings
were attached to concrete discs or to
long sticks, depending on the floor
of the ocean at the place of planting
Approximately 5000 large. we'll
shaped sponges resulted in the first
harvest, and it was found that not
only the sponge grounds could be
controlled, but also the size and
shape of the sponge. Those at
tached to concrete give broad, fiat
type The others encircle the stick,
leaving only small hole in the CEN
ter after removal.

Did you ever stop to think about
the valuable heat which steals
through the windows of your home
during the cold days of winter? 1t
may sound like tall story, but the
fact is that you might just as well
leave the windows open for all the
good they do as heat retarders.
Glass is pretty notoriously poor in
this respect, and many smart home
modernizers are saving themselves
money in fuel by installing double,
or storm, windows to cut off this i'm
portant leakage.
1t is simple job to install the
new types of storm win VS. now
available, and like other modern
products for the home they are being
fashioned in such a way as to be
decorative as we'll as helpful. If
you shudder at the thought of the
old-fashioned storm windows which
many homes used to have years ago
you will be agreeably surprised to
see their 1899 counterpart. They
are being made simmer and slicker,
and the new type of mounting makes
them much quicker to put in place.
Window conditioning, that's the
new name for the same old idea, not
only enables you to save money, but
makes itself felt at once in increased
comfort around the house. You know
how chilly it is in front of an ordi-
nary window, and how the area in
front of such window is apt to be
no-man's-land because of the
draughts which eddy about there.
Well, the entire room becomes liv-
able when the outside layer of glass
in slung into place, and you will find
it an easier matter to maintain even
temperatures throughout the entire
house.
In case you are wondering why
two layers of glass are so much bet
ter than the one already installed,
let us remind you that a dead air
space is left between the two layers
of glass, and most effective means
of insulation is thereby obtained.
OF course, you could board up the
windows with layers Of regular in
sulation if you wanted to, but that
solid effect sort of ruins the trans
parent idea of windows, doesn't it?

Have you seen the new steam elec-
trio irons which are being so enthu-
siastically received all around the
country these days? They are really
tricky articles and seem to solve a
number of delicate ironing problems
with a minimum of machinery. You
have all seen the large steam presses
which are operated in most all tailor
shops, and let out fine billows of
vapor while your clothes are being
put back into shape. As the name
implies. these new irons give you
the same effect without the bother
