HondIey Back But Pitching
Stoff Still FIounderina

This analysis seems sound enough
to your correspondent, with minor
exceptions. Brooklyn undoubtedly
is a better club than it was last
year, and Boston's improvement
may be permanent, too. The Phillies
are slumping back to par, and
the Giants are apt to remain
demoralized.
Cincinnati, I think, is playing
over its head, and the Cubs are
Justly designated 500 ball club
I have a hunch that the Cardinals
will stay up there. They have hitting
and good, mellow pitching. AS for
the Pirates
Well, you can trace their current
troubles to two causes. Lee Handley,
spark plug of the infield, has been
out of action, and the pitching staff
is staggering like Paddy O'Shea on
a Saturday night. Handley is back
now, but the pitching staff may
never come back. That's the gravest
danger the Pirates face.
In the abstract, or in the dugout
It's not bad staff. Blanton, Bauers
Klinger and Tobin are capable OF
pitching winning ball in the Ma
tional League. But Blanton, Bauers
and Klinger are gentlemen of tenn
perament. Once they become i'm
pressed with the notion that they
cannot win, or that the club won't
win for them, Mr.. Traynor will have
to work "a shifts applying artificial
respiration to the morale of Blanton
Bauers and Klinger. Tobin has the
spirit, all right, but his soft-stuf1
pitching requires warmer weather.
The Pirates can hit, and the
Pirates can field, and pitching is
their problem. It's even money
though, that they'll still find the first
division by June l without the help
of an Indian guide.

Bucs Better Than They
Look, Troynor Says
By JOHN LARDNER,

-, Special Correspondent Of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 3 (NA.NA).-
Ehe National Leagues favorite gag
of the moment is, "I see where the
Pirates have picked up right where
they left off last fall" This merry
uuip, which now has been repeated
7,183 times, does not appear to be
very popular with Mr.. Harold pie"
Traynor, the Pittsburgh manager.
The Pirates lost the pennant last
year, when they seemed to have it
under lock and key, by ending the
season with a long and powerful
losing streak. This spring, after
stealing one from Cincinnati on
opening day, they launched an
equally powerful losing streak, and
proceeded by swift stages to the
National League cellar, toward
which objective they were moving
at rapid rate last fall when the
clock ran out on them.
This looks to be the same Pitts
burgh team that tore the league
apart in July and August of 1888.
But it has not been playing like the
same team. The pitching is medi-
ocre. The fielding is slack. The
hitting is nicely calculated to COL
lapse whenever there are men on
base. It's an old Buccaneer custom
to leave people marooned on desert
islands, but these Pirates have
stranded scores of their own crew
on lonely bases, far from home,
and that is practice which will get
them nowhere.

IF you think my squad looks

the Bucs eastward, Il can tell you
the answer. We left half the boys
on the bases out in Chicago and st.
Louis. They still are there. They
write to me every now and then.
We will pick them up the next time
around the loop, if somebody de-
divers a base hit"
Mr.. Traynor is surprisingly cheer
full under the bludgeonings of fate.
He argues, and he must be right,
that the club is not as bad as it
looks.
II think we'll get started in the
East" he says, passing his fingers
through the Hartnett memorial
forest, a grove Of stately gray hairs
planted in Mr.. Traynor's scalp last
fall by the Chicago Cubs. We've
got to start some time, and it might
as well be now"
The Pirates feel that the rest Of
the league, which left them at the
post, must come back to them. They
figure that two of the Western clubs,
Cincinnati and st. Louis, are play
ing over their heads. They expect
the Cubs to shuttle along at a more
or less 500 pace. They plan to
fatten on the Phillies and the some
what demoralized Giants. They
look for sitter opposition from
Brooklyn and Boston.
They consider the league a
balanced league, and, since it is
cockeyed just now, it must be
abnormal. The true state Of affairs
will emerge In time; they argue, and
the true state Of affairs will find
the Pirates near the top, because
they belong there.

Today, when every store that sells
linen also takes orders for marking,
not only by hand but by machine (and
done to perfectlOn), there Is little
excuse for omittIng this proper finish
to anything which should be marked.
1t is true that names can be stamped
on leather, and initials fastened on
bags as late as two or three days be-
fore Christmas. but for many other
items you have not even now day of
extra time.
At present. very small lettering IS
IN best taste on silver. handkerchiefs
and writing paper The designs for all
marking are very PLAIN - just the
few necessary lines to form each letter,
either put on as separate initials or
fitted into square or a diamond shape.
Smartest monograms on writing
paper for woman are just about the
size of a cherry PIT. Small block letters
about as high as a pencil is wide - are
smartcst for man Of he prefers per-
SOnal marking to a house address,.
In the case of handkerchicfs for a
man monogram IS suitable tor even
my handkerchlefs - and also for his
white neck scarf Or his pajama pockets.
But DAYTIME handkcrchlcfs are usually
marked with small initials, since mono
grams seem little ovcrdone. unless
the handkcrchlefs are very fine
whether those Of a man or woman.
Sheets and pllIowCases, on the other

Is very fine. The marking of towels is
less cxacting Cross stitch marking for
example. is Victorian convention
which has always been in good taste
Since cross stitching IS very simple to
do. good suggestion for the friends of
a bride. or of a new house owner. is to
give towels which you yourself have
cross stitched.
To those who ask me what they
should give Him or Her. or anyone
else. the best advice is that which 4
gave once before: Please look care
fully every day through the advertise
mcnts in this newspaper. However
can at least tell you this: Today q
young woman may properly accept
any present from Il man whom she

if she wants to in return so long as
these presents are neither too valuable

There is a code of good
taste in sending cards
and in marking gifts

|" HE majority of questions asked
of me about Christmas greetings
concerns the wording of Christ
mas cards have, however, one letter
asking whether in this year of war it is
heartleSs to send out as many Christ
mas cards as in other years, and
would like to answer this question
first.
1t seems to me that not for twenty
years has heart been so truly the mo-
tive of our Christmas impulse. The
desire to send out both cards and
presents now has a deeper reality than
many of us have felt before. Therefore.
my advice is to send Christmas cards,
by all means, to everyone for whom
YOU have well-wishing friendship.
Whether you send gay cards or
whether you send serious ones, is some
thing for you alone to decide. There
is no code of good taste about this.
But many people always choose their
cards separately in order to find
personal subject and message for each
friend. This requires time as well as
talent. but is an ideal thing to do.
About the signing Of these greeting
cards there definitely are rules. For
example. when names are handwrltten.
or in facsimile of handwriting, they
should not include titles - in other
words. you do not use Mr." or Mrs.
But when names are engraved. they
do include titles, because engraving
land even printing that stimulates en-
graving) is formal medium. In this
case, it is in best taste for the name to
begin the engraved message rather
than to end it as signature. The
name of a man alone, however, is prop
crly engraved without MIR. whether at
the beginning or the end of the mes
Evening star., 1939-11-19

sage, unless he is a really old gentle
man who has few friends living to call
him by his first name.
A spec. al question often arises about
informal cards sent by husband and
wife together and using their first
names. Whose name stands first in the
joint signature? The answer IS that If
the names are being written by hand,
then the one who signs them writes his
Evening star., 1939-11-19

,or her own name last. But II the
names are beng printed on the cards,
there is no definite rule as to whether
the husbands 5 or the witc's name shall
come first - except when child Is IN
cluded. In this case II must be John,
Mary and the Baby" \ nee kind of
signature for family is From the
Christopher llollyS - all SIX.
When sending cards to a business
acquaintance whom your husband TOR
WIFE does not know, you properly sign
your name alone And IN this one case
you address the business acquaintance
alone On the other hand. If you are
sending card to any one who Is really
Il friend. even though the background
OF your friendship has been wholly a
business one, it is entirely proper to
include the name of your husband (or
wifel and to address the envelope to
Mr. and Mrs.
The tabu about colored inks for
your signature on these Christmas
cards does not hold. 1t is perfectly all
right to use any ink that harmonlzcs
with the wording on gayly informal
Christmas card. Also. Christmas enve-
lope Innings can be as vlvidly colorful
as you please. And it is quite all right
70 rafi ,IIracc ttrIcrc fH
write your address on envelopes going
to people whose address you are not
certain about.
After agreeing that this year is one
in which to send many cards, may
seem extravagant in emphasizing the
shoddlness OF leaving Christmas-card
envelope open and putting on half
postage. But if you have to save one or
one and -a-half cents. why not send less
expensive cards? The least expensive
card can carry as friendly message as
one at twenty times its price. Even
handwrltten message on plain sheet
of paper trimmed with stickers is not
shoddy at all if the envelope is sealed.
Do, by all means. encourage chill
dren to make their cards or at least
the cards to be sent to the few they
love best. The ornaments can be cut
from colored advertising pages, and
who wouldn't rather have card or a
picture made by Susie or Tommy than
anything that can be bought?
Another point I'd like to emphasize
this year is the desirability of person.
alizing stationery which you may be
giving as present or other gifts
which can properly be marked. The
addition of monogram or initials or
naments these gifts, and gives the
warming assurance that the giver had
you personally in mind when she did
the shopping. Yet, every year, thou
sands millions more likely of hand
kerchiefs alone are given for Christmas
by those who carelessly put off buying
them, until too late to have them
marked. The same thing is true of
writing paper. Apart from the evidence
of thoughtfulness, the difference in the
appearance of linen or stationery that
is marked and the same articles un-
marked is all the difference between a
hat with a street suit or none!
