All the games are expected to be stiff ones and every measure is be- ing taken by Coach Dewey this week to prepare his green team for a bunch of seasoned veterans when they meet Coach West's Jackrabbits, This é the biggest obstacle in the path of the Bisons, it is though West has his five men back from last year that cleaned up everything in this section, losing only two games, one to Creighton and She to the Bisons. All of the South Dakota State hen were members of the mythical oll-state team last y Thompson and Schutte are playing guards, Thune is at center, and Welsch and Carey are at forwards. Coach Dewey scemingly overcome his biggest handicap in the Coyotte games by finding the right combina- tion which he has tried to find all season. Blakely is at the pivot, Ar- nodf and Captain Flem at guard, and Greenfield and Rumpeletes at for- ward. MACK FIGURES RUTH TO SHINE Connie Mack is one of the few ‘baseball’ experts who figues Babe Ruth will do what the famous lead- er of the Philadelphia Athletics thinks: “Despite his miserable work in the world series, Ruth is ja great hit- ter. I feel sure he will demonstrate that fact to the sorrow of many. a pitcher before the coming season i3 over, “I watched him in the world series. His fist trouble was overconfiden: then as his drives refused to go safe, nervousness and over anxiety ruined him. _~ “All.that’Ruth needs to do in or- der to regain his home-run crown is te.report in condition and keep that ’ Fargo, N.

There is no telling’ what, Johnson might have accomplished” on the mound had he been supported by 1 winning aggregation. Doubtless h would have established some marks which would have been hard to equal, let alone surpass. But regarless of the destiny of fate, Johnson's career has ‘ee exceptionaliy brilliant one. In fac nt-day records are leagues in point of service. many of the p: held by the Washington ,star, who, by the way, is one of the few “big guns” of bascballdom who ha participated in a world series, be- cause Washington has yet to win its first pennant.

Incidentally, this stands as the third highest aver. age turned in by American ‘Ledgue hurlers, Joe Wood, when pitching for Boston in 1912, leading the field with 34 victories and 5 defeats for n .872 mark, and “Wild Bill” Don- ovan of the Detroit Tigers rankin,, second with 28 and 4, a percentage of 362. q ‘ In 1910 Sohn#on fanned 813 ;bat- ters, compared to the league rec- ord 0! in 1904, In 19 he hurled 66 score- less innings, a mark that still stands, and with Joe Wood he also holds the consecutive victory title, winning 16 traight games in 1913. Johrfson set another record by pitching three suc e ,shutouts, against the Yan- kees. Johnson has whiffed over 2,900 batsmen in the 16 years he has been in the circuit, surpassing the old mark of 2,809 hung up by Cy Young over span. And in 1921 he passed jank's high mark of 3 victories, He also has one no- hit game to his credit, hurling that in 192 Johnson is going back. natural considering the s ben in harness. His zip, but Johnson’s offerings are stili plenty good enough to puzzle am- biti swatters, and with a winning com! ition behind him he should still be good for several more sea- »| sons of big league service. Breaks in Luck Must Favor Pitcher Who Wins Twenty-Five Games The showing of Ed Rommel in win- ning 27 games for a club that fin ished seventh in the American Lea- gue is one of the greatest pitching feats ever recorded. y time a major league pitcher games or more, he must not ch good ball but he must also be favored by the breaks. It seems the good pitchers usually get the breaks.

In American League. Circles For many years or perhaps sinee baseball was in its infancy, the rela- tive merits of right-handed batters and those of southpaw swingers have been vehemently discussed. And while many argi and time again, still it is accepted that the hitters w! from the left side of the plate Have a distinct edge in that their posisfon in the batter's box gives them a good full atep lead over that of the right handers. Obviously, then, countless little infield tans are turned into ‘ba: knocks that would mean sure put- outs for the starboard gang. - The proof of the assertion that| left-handed batters ysually obtain higher batting percentages than do y|the right Handers is’ borne out in the official averages of thd American League for the 1922 season. . Of the 12 leading, hitters,,no less than nine of them take their “cuts” from the left side of the plate, with Sisler, Cobb and Speaker, all south.- Swimmer, 87, Startles Palm Beach ral the leading -‘minors, ‘ofmce more in a New role. year the’ Chicago.

Gray was a southpaw, and a pretty good one. He came to Washington from the coast and spent his. major league careor with the Nationals, Gray turned in his unusual per- formance ogainst the Chicago While Sox on Aug. 28, 1909, at Chicago; Gray allowed one hit—a very ques- tionable one—yet he was beaten 6 to 4, Not an error was made by his supporting cast. How come, you say? I umpired the game, and can re call the happenings of the unusuat contest as vividly as if they were just being staged. In the second in- ning Chicago scored six runs'through the medium of one scratch hit and 2 wil streak on the part of Gray. it ig questionable if there is anythin; to equal it in the history of major jfeague ball. Gray retired the Sox/in the first inning, pitching perfectly. In the j second inning things began to hap- pen. Pat Dougherty led off with a high bounder to Bob Unglaub, play- ing first base for Washington Unglaub jumped after it, the bali struck the top of his glove and was deflected into right field. It was scored as a hit, but I have always thobght that Unglaub ‘Should hav easily handled’the ball. After Dougherty had ‘reached first base,'Gray developed a stteak of wildness—the most unusual streak } have ever seen, He ‘walked’ seven men in succession, forcing in five runs. The count Was three and two on practically every batter. A couple of outs and another base on balls ; Was responsible for the sixth run of the inning, 7 Joe Cartillion, managing the Wash- | ington club, was short on pitelers at the time and let Gray take his medi- cine. In the’ next inning Gray re- covered ¢ontrol and for the rest of the game held the Sox runless and hitless, Washington staged - several rallies and Chicago had a hard time winning 6 to 4, * That game stands out in my mem: ory as the most peculiar ball game I ever worked. Gray, who really pitched a ho-hit gamé, ‘was beatén, 6 to 4, because he developed a. streak of wildiess in which he gave eight j basés on balls in one tnning, seven of them in ‘suctession—forcing five runs over the plate. - Tie it if you can for being out of) the ordinary, ye ‘BAD COLD GONE. | IN FEW HOURS “Pape’s Cold Compound” i.

To me this work .is ndt irksome. In fact, I like it. I like to look at the shelves so full of cans and packages of so many colors.

When I am in a store I look for familiar goods and when J see them I buy. Those goods have become familiar to me through advertising and I have noticed that the grocery men who have the most of those familiar packages somehow or other seem to always go ahead. I went into a store not of my own choosing but with a frietid who, among other things, asked for a very well - known article of food which is packed in a can, although she did not ask for any specific kind. 1 always buy.... ye peavey I told her that was the kinil she should ask for. ; N The dealer overheard me and said,: “Madam, I never sell that article. -I sell instead something very much. better . ...... my.own brand.” rs Then he launched into a five-minute talk on why this article was better than the oneI had named. But some- - how my friend had been convinced by what I had sug- gested and she did not buy that can which the grocer offered. : oe And I thought as I walked out how stubborn and absti- nate that man was. He had lost a sale, had. probably taken his first step toward\losing.a eustomer, and had certainly lost ‘a good deal of time, especially since some other people were standing around waiting to be wait- ed on. ; If'that grocer had ‘sold advertised goods he would cer- tainly;have had the brand I suggested and he would have made ja.sale; incidentally, he would have bid-us ‘good ' day cheerfully and’he and we would have been satisfied. ’- Familiar faces are wonderful, To me, in my, capacity as a buyer for a fairly large household, familiar things on the shelves of the stores I-visit-are only a little less wonderful, for ‘those familiar things help me in doing hettér atid more economically the job which I must work at every day.
