PERTINENT OBSERVATIONS

After some of the performances on the bgaseball diamond in which youngsters have participated we have reached the conclusion that 1t is not the size that makes the dif- ference but it is the basic training that the youngster receives when he is beginning. And whether or not there is a suitable course to give them the proper training in the fundamentals of baseball remains to be seen. In the past three or four weeks I have seen a team of lads of high school age and stature beaten by group of grammar schoolers, and the excuse that the bigger lads had for being beaten was tits just bad break" But the reason as we see it is that they just did not know how to play good game of base ball; that means no thorough know ledge of the basic rules on balks, running on teh third strike, the proper way to slide into the base, the proper way to hold bat and few invaluable tips on how to field the ball to advantage. These are only few of the many miscues that these lads have neglected to learn and put into practice, and until they get wise to themselves they will play an inferior brand of baseball But of course you wouldn't necessarily expect youngsters to learn these things out of mid air but they should get together with someone that knows baseball and get good start. They should learn now so they will De good later. How about some of your sharpies giving the youngsters few tips?
 IKE WILLIAMS is our choice to beat Willie Joyce at Madison Square Garden in a ten round clash on Friday night. The two 135 ponnders should put up a good scrap but Williams will edge out Joyce around the eighth.
 That despite the sale of Mort Cooper the Redbirds seem to be doing pretty well against the pen nant bound New York Giants. Ac-. cording to the more rabid fans of greater New York the Giants are in a slump but ought to be pulling out of the tailspin soon. Big Bill Voiselle their ace hurler is of and the Polo Grounders seem to be fol- lowing their lead. Some of the ex- perts seem to think that the old men who inhabit the Giant roster have petered out for good this sea- son but it is our guess they have couple of good kicks left.
 We predicted that the St. Louis Cards were going to win the Nat ional League pennant this season again but we have changed our mind because of the sale of Nor ton (FIREBALL) Cooper. He was the ace in the hole on which we based our prediction.
 I wonder if you knew that the City Amateur League was in its 22nd year on Sunday last. The league founded that number Of years ago is still going favorably despite the tough competition.
 Crosby will beat Wilby by about 6 points when they meet on Sat- urday at the Municipal Stadium in an Al Kelly Memorial game in which Johnny Reardon will be the key man. Johnny, sporting 1883 season average to lead the Nauga- tuck Valley League at this writing will probably push the scales in favor of the East Main streeters in this crucial game. Reardon has been the big gun of the Blue and Whites offense to date.

StoinIess Steel Used
For Sculpture
In Sweden

Stainless steel has recently in
vaded a new field, being used in
Sweden for sculptural purposes.
Some time ago a Swedish artist
was invited by one of the leading
Swedish stainless steel manufac-
turers, the Avesta Steel Works, to
experiment with this material.
He has now shown his work to
the art critics, who unanimously
declare that the sculptor has sue
ceeded in eliminating the cold and
shiny appearance of the steel, at
tanning a striking plastic supple
ness. One of the advantages of
the metal. from the sculptor's point
of view, is that it can be welded
and that cracks and crevices can
be filled in.
