BOSTON, July 26 (UP) - The

the first division hopes of the
Boston Braves today when Catcher
Clyde Kluttz undergoes q pre-
induction physical examination.
Kluttz is married and expects to
become a father in October He

. The Pirates defy analysis. None
of the regulars is hitting 300 or
better and the club ranks only
sixth in team batting. The only
outstanding pitcher on the squad
is Rip Sewell, top man in the
Majors. The catching is only fair
and the club was left with only
four infielders when Huck Geary
quit.
Yet today they are definite
challenge to the Cards and Dodgers.
NO LETDOWN
Victors in four games of a re-
cent five-game setto with the lead
ing Cardinals, the Pirates showed
no sign of a letdown yesterday and
trimmed the Dodgers twice by
identical scores, IL. The double
defeat dropped the Dodgers 812
games behind the Red Birds who
raped the Braves twice, 81 and
7-3, to pull the Pirates to within
half a game of second place.
The Cards shortage of South
paws was eased considerably when
Rookie Al Brazie, brought in from
Sacramento only a few days ago,
turned back the Braves with seven
hits in the first game. The Cards
banged out II hits in the nightcap.
Cincinnati divided with the Phil
lies. The Reds won the opener,
7-3, with a 14-hit attack and
Kewpie Barrett burned his fast one
past the Reds for a 81 win in the
finale.
Chicago clipped the Giants twice
by the same score, 20.
The Red Sox climbed into sixth
place and dropped ST. Louis into
seventh in the American league with
a double triumph over the Browns,
TO and Ga.
WIN FIRST GAME
Detroit divided with Philadelphia,
winning the first game, SO but
losing the nightcap, 81. Five
runs in the eighth inning broke up
a pitching duel between Dizzy
Trout and Roger Wolff in the
first game while the AS punched
their two hits off Johnny Corsica
with an error by Jimmy BloodWortn
in the seventh for two runs and
victory in the afterpiece.
Rookie Thurman fuckers first
Major League homer with none on
gave the White Sox 2-1 triumph
over the Yankees in the first game.
Wildness coupled with pair OF
hits cost Orwell Grove his first loss
in 10 games as the Yankees took
the nightcap, 6-3. Grove baked
with the bases loaded and Bill
Johnsons single sent home the last
two runs in the eighth to help the
Yankees sew it up.
Cleveland ran its winning streak
to seven straight with an 81 ver-
dict over the Senators in the first
game of a doubleheader, but JIM
Mertz pitched Washington to 7-2
decision in the nightcap.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Old-time fishermen often spoke
Of big spouts of water" coming from
the heads of whales. When they
told such stories. they were speaking
Of what they thought they saw, not
of what they really saw.
Closer study OF whales has proved
that the spout" of \ whale is made
up of moist air, not OF water. If
you blow air from your mouth on a
cold day. you will produce what looks
like steam or smoke. The warm air
from your lungs strikes the cold air
outside, and this makes tiny bits
of moisture condense and form
steam"
In the same way the whale blows
air from its huge lungs, forming
misty mass which, from a distance,
looks like spout Of water. A whale
has nostrils which close tightly, and
water Is kept from running down
into the lungs. II any large amount
Oh water went into the animals
lungs. 1t would die.
Whales do their spouting after
being under water for time. TAX
ing big breath. a whale goes out of
sight. 1t may reach a depth of 500
or 500 feet.
Usually q whale does not spend
more than five or six minutes un-
DER water, but there are times when
1t keeps out of sight much longer.
Cases are on record of dives" which
lasted from IS to IS minutes.
On coming back to the surface.
the whale blows out the air In It's
lungs to make room for a supply of
fresh air. 1t has no gills, and must
take its oxygen from air.
A whale has a tail fin," but this
differs from the tail An of a fish.
1t spreads out sidewise instead OF
up-and-down.
Whales are strong swimmers.
They have to be good In this field

known species OF poisonous snakes
in the world, the diamond back
rattlesnake ranks second to none.'
Beside the fact that this reptile
has such large poison glands, 1t
ranks in size with the largest of
the tropical venomous serpents of
both the Old and the New World.
The total length is slightly over
8 feet. Some have been found to
be 8 feet long. The body is stout
and heavy. The broad head is fat
and distinct from the neck. Dia-
mond markings of olive edged with
yellow. The abdomen is dull yellow.
This great reptile is bold and
alert. 1t never becomes use to It's
captivity and is always ready to
coil in its awe-inspiring position
Tor strike. The glittering black
eyes and the waving tongue but
add to its fearful expression. There
Is all this time the incessant rasping
sound of the rattle.
1t Is this rattle that often gives
notice of the presence of the rattler.
II this warning is heard in time.
and escape is possible, the snake
will uncoil and glide for cover. The
mere vibration of a footstep will
cause 1t to throw the body into
the familiar symmetrical coil, the
neck doubled into an S-shaped loop
with the head drawn back into the
circle of the body. This position is
perfected within the twinkling of
an eye.
The favorite food of the diamond
back is the common "cotton-tail. -
II pressed by hunger it may CAP
ture a rat, but it never disturbs
birds. The swiftness of the strike
of the snake is too fast for the
human eye to follow. Thus the
little rabbit never really knew pain
or in many cases fright. Not until
the snake is fully satisfied that its
victim is dead does 1t make any
effort to engulf it.
The rattlesnake Is yiviparous-
bringing forth living young. At birth
there is one button" for the
future rattle. The coloration is
much like that worn by the
parents. And the small editions are
ready to coil without any lessons
whatever.
