Before and after a Var

There have been arguments back
and forth about the comparative val
ue Of athletes, whatever the game,
before and after a war is over.
What about Joe Louis, Joe DiMag-
gio, Bob Teller, Ted Williams. Sam
my Snead. Ben Hogan, Billy Conn,
etc.?
Suppose we look ut the case Of
Grover Cleveland Alexander Alex
ander broke In with the PhiIlies In
1911. He was 81 years old when he
was called into army service, where
he served abroad I'm 1918. And Old
Pete had his share Of rough service.
Yet In 1913, after the war, 50 years
old, his earned run average was liz
and at 80 he pitched 1853 innings. .
total Of more than 40 ball games,
with q mark fixed ct 1.91.
This is proof enough that those
who had II win still have It left
upon their return.
Bob Teller. for example, won't be
20 until next November. Joe Di-
Maggie win be 80 In November. Ted
williams win be only % next Octo-
Der. These. and many other stars
with the luck to return, viii have
many big years left.

such an important part as long as he
remains around the front Of the
parade.
Mort Cooper and Spud Chandler.
certainly two Of the best as long as
they remain on the scene, should be
headed in the general direction Of
80 winning games, for more often
than not they win be facing pitchers
well below their high levels.
Each league should have enough
outstanding pitchers to feature
season, always depending on the
sweep of the draft broom which
seems to change direction from
week to week.
I still think Chandler and Cooper
are the two best, and they could be
rated with the best in any season.
Whit Wyatt belongs with either when
he is physically right. Mort Cooper
allowed only LIT earned runs in
1912 and Spud Chandler allowed
only 1.64 Of the same last season.
This is pitching Of a high degree.

Ten Suggestions
For CURLING Juvenile
Delinquency Trouble

Ten suggestions for the curbing
of juvenile delinquency are out
lined in a new educational film,
Gas the Twig is Bent" produced
by one of the large life insurance
companies They are:
Keep small children supervised.
If you must be away from nome
all day, place small children in
community care centers or else
where in the care of competent
supervisors.
Know your children's compan-
ions. If you move to new neigh
borhood, meet the parents Of the
boys and girls with whom your
children are playing.
Raise your children to respect
the law. Teach them that the po-
liceman is their friend.
Encourage your children 10 read
good literature. Subscribe to
wholesome magazines and have
them join your local public library
Teach boys and girls the true
value of thrift. Have them start
their own savings accounts and
buy their own war stamps and
bonds.
Help your children find hobbies
amusement and entertainment ir
the home. Encourage them &c
bring their friends to your home.
Meet your "teen-age" daughters
dates. Learn something of Their
background, character and associa.
tions.
Get acquainted with your chill.
dren's teachers. Check with them
frequently regarding your boys
and girls attendance, attitude ant
progress in school.

The Finest Pitching

There are two men who, since 1912
when such earned run records were
listed, head the long list with some
thing to spare.
And both were pretty fair country
throwers. The leader is fellow by
the name of Grover Cleveland Alex
ander. His runner-up was Walter
johnson.
Here is Alexander's record Of
earned runs-read it-arld wonder
19l5-with PhiladeIphia-l.22.
1916-With Philadelphia-1.55.
1917-With Philadelphia-l.83.
19l9-With Chicago after
serving in the army)-1.72.
1920-Witk Chicago-1.91.
Here is an amazing pitching rec
ord which included 16 shutouts in
1916.
In 1918 Walter johnson with Wash
ington allowed LA earned runs; In
1915, 1.55 earned runs; in 1918, 1923
earned runs; and in 1919. LAO earned
runs. johnson had the best four
years-Alexander had the call at Ave
seasons. I doubt very much that
two greater pitchers ever threw Q
ball by hostile bats.
AS Johnny Evers told me once
Alexander was the only pitcher I
ever faced who made me want to
throw my bat away before ! started
for the plate"
johnson had the binding, blazing
speed-Alexander had the control
and the cunning-and both had great
hearts. They worked for shutouts.
II averages mean anything, here
are your two greatest pitchers.

Difference to tradition this depart
ment makes its annual baseball
selections. In order to prolong the
agony, today's soul-stirring outpour-
ing will be devoted solely to the
National league.
And that is as It should be. The
job is considerably easier in the
senior circuit. The National league
contains the only first class club in
baseball this season - the st. Louis
Cardinals.
All in all, the Western clubs are
stronger this year. There is a very
good chance that an Eastern team
win not be able to break into the
first division.

Mound Losses

We string along with Cincinnati
for third place largely because Of
Manager Bill McKechnie. The Reds
have been hard hit In their once
strong department = the pitching
staff. They have lost Johnny Wander
Nicer and Clyde Shoun. They will
mourn the loss Of Lon Frey at Sec
ond. Others-including Eddie Miller
and Gerald Walker-are susceptible
to the draft.
But Master william McKechnie 10
. sound, resourceful and reliable
leader. He has q habit Of successful
operations. The rejection by the
military service Of First Baseman
Frank Mccormick has strengthened
the Cincinnati club. Mccormick is .
long distance hitter who will make
quite . difference In the final stand
ings.
The Pirates may prove to be q
surprise club. Frank Frisch has a
good infeld with Babe Dahlgren
replacing Elbie Fletcher at first
base, Bob Elliott back at third, and
Frank Cuisine and Pete Coscarart
In between.
The Dodgers unhappy plight IL
made all the more evident by the
report that Manager Leo Durocher
is likely to play.
The Giants are weak. They will
do well TO end up in sixth place
and may be forced to get along
without the services Of Manager Mel
OFT, who Is Ia.
The Braves have q new bankroll
to work with. Bob Coleman, the new
manager, is widely known as q de-
veloper of young players. But the
present emphasis isn't on youth In
the big leagues.
We win not attempt to discuss the
Philadelphia Story other than to re-
mind you that the club is now known
as the Blue Jays. Remember that
names don't mean a thing.

Walker Cooper, one Of the best
catchers in the game at the begin
ming Of the last season, is available.
So are many other stars Of the st.
Louis cast.
It's customary to pick the Cubs
for second place. In fact one gets
in a disagreeable rut by naming
the Cubs to place. Last year Mr..
Wrigley's hired men wound up an
inglorious fifth. 30h games out. But
the present season finds the club
fairly well equipped with expert
enced pitchers. And good pitching
can land the club in second place.

before.)
