CLEVELAND, Sept. S.-Whils
the priority situation is clearing
il is believed at least a fortnight
will be required TO eliminate
rather widespread uncertainties.
Lack of full understanding OF
many consumers in making out
prescribed forms Is adding to work
of steelmakers and retarding book
ing of new orders. says Steel.
One effect of information OBJ

to reduce shipments to consumers
with large inventories, some being
refused tonnage in September in

month. Strict inventory control II
expected to prevent uneven dis
Itribution.
Unbalanced deliveries have
caused accumulations by army and
navy, and other consumers, while
material was lacking for other
defense purposes. At the same
time steelmakers claim that most
of their customers have only nor
NAL supply or less. Some tonnage
on mill books represents duplicate
buying and wherever this Is re-
lvealed it will be Cancelled, thus
reducing mill backlOgs.

attack on him.

CHAPTER XVII

Black Yeager was buried at Round
Top, and his funeral was the largest
ever held In the county. The feel
ing was very bitter, and it was al
most unanimous against the big
ranches among those at the grave
yard. Even the people who did not
justify rustling resented this high
handed destruction of suspected
men who had not been found guilty
by a jury. Among the rustlers them
selves, a mounting fear lay back of
their furious rage. A killer was
loose In the land, and he might strike
at any one of them next.
Several men without property
slipped away quietly, not advertising
their destination. They crossed the
line into Montana or Colorado, or
eastward into one of the Dakotas.
Bart Dennison pulled his freight
last night" Lee Hart said. Left on
the train for Cheyenne"
jeff Brands laughter was brittle.
Some folks scare easily" he said.
Through the window his words
reached Ellen. She had no doubt
he was a thief, but she applauded
the spirit of his defiance. What he
had told her about Pete Tolman was
even more true of himself. He had
lived fully, physically at least There
was In him a deep capacity for en-
joyment. But though mere exist
ence was a delight to him, he would
not buy it at too big a price. He
would not run away. He would stay
and fight it out to a finish.
''I dunno" Turley said. "AIl right
to fight back when you know what to
fight. But it's too late when you
got a bullet in the belly. I'm not
blaming Bart none. When I'm out on
the hills I feel right goosy myself"
IF a fellow hasn't got sand in
his craw he's got no business liv-
ing here" Brand retorted, scorn
etching his voice. He'd better get
a job at a livery stable washing bug
gies and watering horses"
A rider was dismounting at the
hitch-rack. They watched him walk
across the dusty road to join them.
The man was Roam Afford.

Creek an hour or so ago." he men-
toned. Says Jim McFaddin of the

Another Hot Match

With Williams and DiMaggio grab
bing off most of the wild laurel
sprigs in the American league, you
can look for another hot scramble
in the N. L. between Pete Reiser of
the Dodgers and Johnny Mize of the
Cardinals.
It might interest you to know, If
you care for the succulent statistics
in baseball, that Johnny Mics five
year average with the Cardinals is
now .339 up through 1940-just four
points below DiMaggio's mark for
the same span.
Big John is one Of the top hitters
of his time. BAN players through
the South this last spring all picked
him as the best hitter in the older
league. Mize halls from Demarest,
Ga, not so far away from Royston
where Ty Cobb spent his younger
years. Ever notice how most of the
top ones come from the unsung
hamlets-not from the big towns?)
Mize has a freshman challenger in
Brooklyn's Pete Reiser, who in his
first year on big time has been
whacking away between $50 and
$40 most of the season.
Pete Reiser is the ball player
named by Leo Durocher as the
''next Ty Cobb-provided there will
ever be another Ty Cobb. .Reiser is
IS5 pounds Of speed, power, head
and heart" according to Durocher's
estimate.
Reiser is now just Il. Don't for
get that when Tyrus Raymond was
a Tiger debutante he batted 1922.
But from there on he finished with
a lifetime average of 1867 for "a
years-and that, my fellow country
men, is something to shoot at.
But for all that, the stretch duels
between Williams and DiMaggio,
Mize and Reiser, will add consid-
erably to the general public interest
in both races. Suppose someone
else beats them out? What of it?
They are still the four best hitters
in the two big leagues over a period
of time.

his hands, but that brace of cooked
wrists deliver most of the poison.
The main feature of Ted Williams
bat swinging is his almost complete
lack of tension. Williams won't be
% until October, but he still acts
with the ease and confidence OF
veteran who has been through many
baseball wars. In this respect he
reminds you Of Napoleon Lajoie.
Larry at the plate looked as loose
as ashes. He was apparently ind1f-
ferent as he waited for the pitch.
''You either hit it or you don't"
Larry told me years ago. why
bother about it? Just take your cut"
The fact might be mentioned here
that with this modern lively ball

the old one, would soon have sew

ers who happened to beein the line

Sharp received a letter from his
friend McTavish which bore no
stamp, and he had to pay the post
age. The letter concluded:
''You will be delighted to hear
I am enjoying the best of health,
old chap.-Yours, McTavish."
Sharp pondered over this for a
time, then he secured a large
stone, wrapped it, addressed it
and sent it express collect to his
friend McTavish. Attached to it
was a note, which read as follows:
