O. A dense fog occurred on the,

cause this condition and is there d
remedy?
A! The phenomenon OF the flat
ting of paint by dense fogs which
comes in contact with the wet film
has been observed before and Is APP
parently caused by the absorption
of moisture ythe film. For this

Selected Poem
BURROWS UNDER SNOW

(Vesta Crawford in the New York Times
Here once the earth Autumn like haze
And ni.sts from lunined sky leaned down to meet
A moving tide of warm and melloWed days
That painted russell Spendor on the wheat.
And there was sound Of birds above the field
And melody in stems of drying weeds,
Here once was amber harvest and a yield
OF color CLOSED upon the bearded seeds.
And yet come to Winter solitude
AS one who seeks the quiet of the snow
And finds at length In ermine interude
The peace that lies along the stubble row.
In all the eWeled year have not found
More beauty spread upon the furroWd ground

the last few months did he really
make good.
Iron Man
The sharp-eyed Oklahoman is
taking his sudden success calmly.
He prefers to talk Of his featS as an
iron man. He claims to have pitched
more than 40 double headers and
says he has won 81 OF them. He has
definite ideas on the subject Of work
and holds that many pitchers go
sour because they don't have enough
to do-not because they have too
much.
Starr has been around and about.
He has tried out with the Giants
and the Cardinals and he has played
more towns than q road company
Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" This year
the baseball writer's laughed when
Ray sat down on q bench occupied
by Elmer Riddle, Paul Derringer,
Bucky Walters and Johnny Wander
meer-but the laughs stopped more
than q month ago.
Like Borowy, Starr was off to q
slow start. He won only one game
In the first three weeks Of the sea-
son. During May, however, he start
ed to roll. He twice blanked the
Cardinals and he entered June with
six victories. Since then, he has
whipped Boston twice, shaded
Brooklyn, 2-1, and defeated Phila-
deHphia. He has the best record in
the National league.
There is little likelihood that
either Of these pitchers will falter
too badly-barring injury-for they
are both backed by strong teams
and they are growing stronger as
they go along. It isn't beyond the
realm Of imagination that they
might yet decide that rookie title In
the World Series. It isn't, tina is, un-
less you live in Brooklyn.

five hits.
Let's consider young Mr.. Borowy
first. He Is q youngster to whom
success always has come easily. A
schoolboy sensation, he was q
marked pithcer before he reached
Is. At F'ordham he won % of "a
games and was secuted as careful
ly as a potential glamor girl. The
Yanks finally signed him for a
bonus Of $500 after q hectic bid
ding contest.
He was shipped to Newark for sea-
soning and in his debut he was lit
tie short of spectacular. He allowed
Toronto but four hits-and lost, 20.
For a few months he was up and
down. Finally, he learned to watch
base runners and 1t was just o mat
ter of time until he was graduated
to Yankee Stadium. His excellent
showing in spring training won him
his chance this year.
A youngster who catches ON with
New York must prove himself quick
ly. Borowy was given the starting
assignment in the ninth game of
the season after one brief and I'M
successful relief chore. He was
knocked out of the box.
He won in relief, 5-4, over Chicago
on May s and wasn't tapped again
until May %. He defeated the Ath-
letics, So, that day and since then
has whipped the White Sox, ga;
Detroit, Al, with a four-hitter: De-
troit again, 5-3; and yesterday
Cleveland.
Just turn that tale around and
you have the story Of starr, the

ginning to wonder where they are
going to earn enough to pay next

tinued rivalries such as those of
Whirlaway VS. Market Wise, Leslie

ped that another absorbing sports
serial is now in the making. The
plot revolves about a boy, man and

doubtful If the old master Of fiction,
Horatio Alger himself, could have
fashioned two heroes who were rep
resentative Of more distant ex-
tremes. They are both pitchers, both
rockies and both in pursuit of the
same prize-but there all similarity
ends.
For Borowy is az and Starr is So.
Seldom, If ever, has baseball pro-
duced q more intriguing yarn. On
one side of the race Is a big, husky
kid who Is only year removed from
college and who lived up TO his
