Ter. He lacked control, but from the
lump he was as cool as a slice OF
cucumber on ice.
After whiting II of the enemy in
one of his first games, the Van Meter
phenOm was a trifle too keen on the
strikeout path for some time. This
wrecked his control. He was also
a bit lopsided at holding runners on
base. But he has long since cured
both faults. He has added good
curve ball to his speed.
Teller has the poise and balance
of a much older man. He has
shown no sign so far of an enlarged
head, no sign of kid freshness with
older men.
A fellow like Teller will mean a
healthy package to Cleveland when
the stretch running begins a few
weeks later on. And a fellow like
Teller can turn a world series up
side down, if he gets the chance.
The Reds Sad Story
When l sat on the bench a short
while back with Bill McKechnie his
Reds had nine-game lead and they
looked to be breezing. 1t was the
first time l had ever seen Uncle Will
breathing normally with his pulses
in order. You could see that with
this lead, plus Derringer, Walters
and Thompson, his worries were
Just about over.
1t has been suggested that willard
Hershberger's death had a depress-
ing effect. But the sliding had start
ed before the young Red catcher
ended his life.
The shock began when the Giants
beat Bucky Walters in the game that
Walters had tied up in true lover S
knot in the ninth inning with two
out. The Reds have never quite re-
covered from that shock. Later on
the suicide episode didn't help.
They were due for a slump, but
no one looked for any such August
dip. They still have the call with
the pitching they have, but the old
easy-going gallop is over. AS some
philosopher has said, There is also
gameness in front running In
fact, there is plenty.

women who see to it that the chill
dren and the new husband are
brought to know and understand
and like each other.
Beatrice, for example, is a case
in point. Nine years ago she di-
vorced her husband, and gave a
small girl of eight a new father.
For a while there was nothing they
I could do with little Alice. She hated
everything about the change, and
wept continuously for her own Dad
dy, and her own house, and the old
school and the old friends.
Even a baby brother didn't COM
fort Alice, and for a while Jack, the
stepfather, detested the child, and
was glad when she went off to visit
her own father and her grand
mother.
But today the situation is differ
ent. Beatrice, the mother, has two
small boys to keep her busy. She
has no maid, and for some seven
years, she writes, she has never
slept through night undisturbed,
or been in bed later than six o'clock
in the morning.
Stepfather's Attitude Changes.
Alice, the once unmanageable
little daughter, is now lovely sew
enteen; her stepfather adores her,
and she idolizes him. The mother
writes anxiouSly that she is idle, out
of school, and mad for dances and
evening parties, and that Jack in
dulges her ridiculously. Beatrice
uses the rickety family car, when
Jack doesn't need it, but Alice has
been promised a new car on her
eighteenth birthday. Jack loves to
take her places, to his golf club, to
movies, to lunch downtown, and she
flatterS him by referring everything
to Daddy" He says no man is
good enough for his girl, and Alice
says she never will find a man as
perfect as Daddy.
Il ought to be glad, l suppose"
writes Beatrice. But feel neglect
ed and lonely much of the time,
sweet as my little boys company
is. The actual situation is that my
husband is taking younger and
prettier woman about, and although
both Alice and Jack are conscien-
tious people, far above any suspi-
cion, it makes me feel as if my life
somehow were unbalanced If I
suggest that Alice stay with the boys
and Jack take me to movie, he
will do it amiably, but always with
an effort, always with an air of
RI ArI
are alone together, he is thinking of
Alice, know, for he will break out
with some reference to her, or some
quotation from her, as if she were
the most amusing and lovable crea-
ture in the world.
Stepmother Neglected Now.
"Wel, she is amusing and beau
tiful and lovable, too, there is not
a mean bone in her body. But after
all, it wasn't Alice with whom Jack
fell so desperately in love, 10 years
ago; it wasn't for Alice's sake that
l divorced her father and was per-
suaded into second marriage. No
body could have been more pas
sionately in love than Jack was
then"
Well, in answer to Beatrice, can
only say that this seems to me one
of those problems that time inev-
itably solves. With girl as at
tractive and sweet as Alice, mar
rage will come along in year or
two, and Jack, who has made such
conspicuous success as a stepfa-
Their. can try being step-grandfa-
Their.

~ ways has a trying time
4 \ of it, and in these days of
easy divorces the world is full
of stepmothers.
What makes the situation es-
pecially trying for them is that
in the beginning everything
sounds so pleasant and simple.
Sam has two darling children,
and Sally adores them already.
The little girl is shy, and natu-
rally talks a good deal about
her mother, but the boy is a per-
feet darling. After Sam and
Sally are married she means to
make much of Sans children.
Anyway, says Sally, joyously
flustered with wedding plans,
they'll be with their mother a
lot of the time.
Sam feels at the moment that
Sally is such wonderful girl that
she can't help winning the children's
hearts. They'll adore her.
So Sam gets his divorce, and it is
settled that Bruce and Betsey are
to stay with their mother 10 months
of year, spending two months with
Dad and the new Stepmother. That
being legally arranged, and finan-
cially arranged, what more is there
to worry about?
Trifles Threaten Later.
Well, nothing, at the moment But
within a few months the worries
arise, and these trifles that seemed
so unimportant on the wedding day,
arise later to thresten the safety
of many second marriage.
For one thing, the mother of
Bruce and Betsey has every reason
in the world for making trouble, if
she can. She makes it hard for the
children to pay those promised visits
to their fathers house. She talks
of him sliehtingly, or perhaps with
bitter scorn, before his children, and
leads them to believe that Sally is
the adventures who came into a
happy home and robbed them of
their father
Possibly it wasn't happy home
at all. Possibly Alma was the one
who wrecked it, who wanted the di-
vorce, who made no effort to hold
Sam or Sans affection. But all that
is forgotten once Sam has started
off upon a fresh marital hazard with
Sally.
Children Sense Trouble.
The children feel the trouble in
the air, and they are not natural
nor reasonable with their stepmoth-
er. Sally, on her side, is young,
she has had no experience with chill
dren, and very shortly she comes to
most of the time with their mother.
This makes Sam restless. He
loves his boy and his small girl,
and wants them to enjoy his new
home and his new felicity with him.
He becomes unnatural, too, so there
are four of them; all uncomfortable;
all placed in false position.
- IIldl CdIluOt olNotSS iiCii Iilolii-
er, marry another woman, and re-
main toward his children in the
same position that he had when he
was a part of their home and their
background; the person they took
for granted as Dad, who wanted
them to be on time for breakfast
and gave them movie money.
A woman cannot take her children
away from their father, and put an
other man in that fathers place,
and combine with her new bridal
happiness and her absorption in her
new mate her motherly attitude as
well.
There Are Exceptions.
These things simply don't mix,
