dashing spray as they cling to the
roots far out of the water. The
periwinkles are rapidly spreading
along the American coasts. We are
interested only in their beautiful
shells, but in Europe the poorer and
middle classes find the flesh an i'm

Labor for Defense Projects

Representatives of several Govern
ment agencies from Maryland, North
Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District will meet here to-
morrow at the regional Office of the
Social Security Board to discuss
labor recruiting for defense in
dustries.
James H. Woodall, regional labor
supply officer for the Social Sc
curity Board and acting chairman
of the Regional Labor Supply Office,
said that among the subjects to be
discussed were the problem of find
ing skilled and semi skilled workers
in the ship-building and repair in
dustries and transferring workers
from certain non-defense plants eX-
pected to close to defense industries
requiring related skills.
Those from Washington expected
to attend include G. A. McGarvey

efficient in scraping off the algae
which is abundant on the rocks
close to shore.
Travelling is slow process among
periwinkles. The one foot has a
median line which divides it length
wise into two areas which act
alternately during the strolling pro-
cess. While one side moves, the
other one holds fast. The result is
an uneven gait, hence the old ex-
preston, "snails pace"
The eggs are laid in masses on
the rocks and seaweeds. The young
sters resemble their parents, but on
a small scale. The infant begins
life with one body whorl to which
he adds another each year. The
empty homes of these mollusks are
dainty little additions to a shell COL

was solely a pitcher. So was Mat
ty, Grover Alexander, Cy Young and
Lefty Grove. Nap Lajoie was a
great infelder. Iris Speaker and
Joe Jackson were among the best
outfelders-as is Joe DiMaggio to-
day.
Cobb, of course, was something
apart on attack-the greatest run
getter that ever lived. But the argu-
ment was about the aIl-around en-
tries-those who had the chance to
prove they could star at many posi-
tiOns.
I also nominated John Montgom-
cry Ward of Providence and the
old New York Giants.
'That was before my day." Tink-
er said.
Ward" said, twas a star out
fielder, brilliant infelder, and a
better pitcher than Hoss Radbourne,
whom he discovered. Ward pitched
at least two no-hit games, one of
them perfect. And he was one of
the best base runners that ever
lived. He was also a manager and
scout at the time"
Maybe So" Tinker said, s'but
let's keep more modern. Let's not
go back any further than 1900"
We accepted the mild rebuke In
the spirit one should show to young
er years.
We finally settled on the Big Three
for all-around ability-Ruth, Wag-
ner and Sisler.
All were great hitters-among the
greatest. Two of them-Ruth and
Sisler-were star pitchers, although
Sisler never had the chance Babe
had to prove his ability along this
line. Wagner and Sisler were two
of the best base runners In baseball.
Ruth, with his go to 250-pound body
operating on slender ankles, was out
of the running here.
Wagner was never a pitcher, but
he proved that he could handle the
eight remaining jobs, as well as lead
his league at bat year after year
and run bases like a scared coyote.
There are many others-Rhody
Wallace, an old-timer; Jimmy Foxx
of the Red Sox; Bucky Walters Of
the Reds; Freddy Lindstrom of the
Giants; and many more.
But the Triple Top remain as stat
ed-Ruth, Wagner and Sisler-as
long as Tinker won't let me ring in
my golfng partner from the late
eighties and the early nineties-Jo
Montgomery Ward.
It may be that others have diff
ferent ideas. If so, Joe Tinker and
the writer will gladly accept the
challenge.
Joe Gordon is likely to be sensa-
ton at first. In addition to the amaz-
ing use of his hands and feet, Joe
is actually an acrobat. He worked
at and studied acrobatics for more
than two years. He can swing his
body two feet to the left or right
while In mid-air..
Now and then he may make
ground-covering mistakes, but he
can also light the fuse to some in
credible fireworks.

ball player baseball had ever known
the man who could handle more
jobs well.
The list was longer than you might
think. The Squire of Orlando pom
dered this problem.
First of ALL" Joe said, "there
was Babe Ruth. He started as a
pitcher, and still holds the best five
year winning average in baseball
a great Ieft-hander. Then he became
a star outfielder-and I mean one
of the best-and he was a good first
baseman. He was the greatest home
run hitter of all time, and that's a
tough record to beat"
Greatest ShortStop?
what about Honus Wagner" I
asked.
ST was thinking about old Hans"
Tinker said. "He was known as
great shortstop-probably the great
est. But did you know he had starred
in every position on the club except
in the box? He played every out
field position, including catcher. He
led his league in batting for seven
or eight years. And he used to steal
from so to go bases a season. There
was ball player. Better than Babe
Ruth? I'd hate to say. But old Hans
was close"
Nov, you pick one,' Tinker said,
"who belongs with these"
''What about George Sisler?" I
suggested. "SisIer started out at
Michigan as a star Ieft-handed
pitcher. He might have been one of
the best in baseball. But they need
ed his hitting. After that he was a
crack 0utfelder, just as Ruth was.
Then they moved him to first base,
where he is one of the few to chal-
lenge Hal Chase. Sisler hit as high
as APO, which Ruth nor Wagner
never did. As recall it, the Michi-
gan star averaged over 400 at bat
for four consecutive years. And he
was one of the best base runners
the game ever knew. I mean 40 to
so steals a year."
''We can't throw him out" Tinker
said. Professionalism

two"

While the Greeks continue their irresistible

robruk for the sacrifice, another interesting
campaign is developing against the Roman
Empire with the little man of the black
beard, sombre eyes and umbrella taking a

The British war machine has assigned to its
Houth African forces the not unwe1come job
Df driving the Italians out of Ethiopia. Halle
Eelassie has established headquarters just
across the frontier, where his former sub

military training and to await arming.
In the meantime Raj. filters are said to
be bombing Italian outposts and more impor-
tant bases and when they have prepared the
way such Ethiopian bands as have been armed
move in, put the g~arrisons to flight and pur-
sue them into the desert hills. What becomes

How To Avoid Flu

1t becomes more and more apparent that IN
~fluenza is spreading rapidly throughout the
United States. In the South it has been found
expedient to close many schools and to warn
the people against public assembly. There is
no ban on gatherings, but doctors generally let
it. be known that the danger of contracting the
disease is increased by breathing air which is
all too likely burdened with the malady's germs
when many persons are brought together.
Thus far Wilmington has been fortunate.
There are many cases, to be sure, and the
city's physicians are hard pressed to treat them
all. But as yet there has been no indication
that it will reach epidemic proportions, pro-
vided proper care is taken by sufferers not to
expose others to their contagion and well per-
sons exercise ordinary precautions to avoid
contact with them. It is advisable to avoid
crowded auditoriurns, theatres and other places
of general congregation.
For years health departments have been
preaching the necessity of isolation, In 1lu at
tacks, to hold the outbreak to the lowest pos
sible minimum. Patients, say health officers,
should keep to themselves, never cough or
sneeze in the presence of others, but always
smother the explosion in handkerchiefs to pre-
vent scattering germs, and if the attack be-
comes more than merely annoying, call a doc
tor. Flu can be cured speedily and with COM
ease. thanks to modern medical sci
ence.
But medical science can do nothing to pre-
vent spread of the disease. That is up to the
people themselves, who must avoid crowds
in theaters and other places Of public assem-
bly, if they wish to keep from contracting it.
