NEW YORK.-First there were
! Art Nehf's own three World
Series victories over the Yankees of
the Ruthian years: no other pitcher

Now, in drift of pungent smoke
over the Solomons, Art Junior racks
up three Zeros.
The friends who walked and talked
with Old Art-he is barely 50-when
he was about the best left-handed
pitcher of the twenties, read of
young Arts three-timer and began
to think back.
Arthur Newcomb Nehf, Terre
Haute-born and graduate electrical
engineer when John McGraw side
tracked him into the Polo Grounds,
has lived so long in Phoenix, Ariz.,
that he is legendary shadow across
the big league trails, but the friends
made him man alive there once
more. They made him a man to be
remembered for more than base
ball, too. They spoke of him as
D'Artagnan, Porthos and Aramis
spoke of Athos, the thoughtful, the
just.
Art Junior did only what they
expected Of Art Seniors son
when the Japs bore in from FIVE
compass points. He was scared
but, 81 knocked off three of
those monkeys" and damaged
the other two. Then, "They hit
me and / couldn't do much so
ran like h-l," and crashed.
Now, however, he is as fresh as
new paint again.
In some such whirl of action Art
Senior took his first game from the
Yanks. For eight innings the bats
of Ruth and the cocky others bore
in from all the compass points. Nehf
had a 10 score, one out and one on
in the ninth when Home-Run Baker
hit ball like bullet. A good Judge
who saw Johnny Rawlings race for
it off second base still calls the
stop the greatest play of baseball.
High-pockets Kelly and the marvel
GUS Frank Frisch, that day at third,
finished the double play That was
in 1921. Nehf won his other two
in 20 and '23.

he was on the wrong track the army

school at Fort Monroe; and come
to think of it, pretty old to be max

enough.
Eleven years later, when the Mis-

army engineer was needed, he got

threw then has kept Old Man River
quiet ever since.
Now thick-set, firm mouthed
commander of IS, he directs all
engineers through an encyclo-
pedia of special jobs that this
gl0bal war has added to the
traditional bridge-building, map
making, camOuflage and con-
struction. Reports from Africa
and Britain, where he has just
been, are that nothing Of any

and there the material may be
a little short, but in such pinch
the army engineers work won
ders with baling wire, sh0vels
and the sergeant's motherly
coaxing.
The general got his corps pre-
pared for war year ago when he
streamlined it into nine divisional
units, each overlapping those of the
army's own nine service commands.
