NEW YORK, June 27.-You viii
have to 60 back a long time to
find a season which has produced
so much in and out pitching as
has this one.
Our present crop Of pitchers
are good one. day, bad the next.
They are either turning in almost
perfect classics or letting the hits
run away up into double figures.
Offhand. we can think of at
least half dozen who barely
missed getting into the Hall OF
Fame with no hitterS. Johnny
Wander Nicer. who a few years
ago pitched two no-hit games in
row, turned in one-hitter this
year. Bill Dietrich of the White
Sox also has a one-hitter to his
credit. Rookie Tom Hughes Of the
lowly Pills also turned the trick.

Tommy Heinrich attended to the
home run streak by betting one OF
Eden Auker'S sinjkers into the

35 homers in q straight games.
The crowd liked that, of course,
but the fans were far more in

They were on tenter-hooks when
the eighth inning rolled around
and Joe was still hitless.
Somebody had 10 get on base

Rolfe attended 10 that by walking

Ans: Yes -. you will have to do
some repairs and remOdeling be-
fore you could move in the place.
I'm convinced that you made a wise
investment E. the property is more
valuable now than it was years ago
