On the Washington club is Slim McGrew, known to his teammates as “Dangerous Dan.” Like Harris, he is a right-handed pitcher. he first time he was trotted out to the box to face the Athletics, an argument was started as to whether he was taller than Harris. The discussion waxed so warm that the players of both teams had their rival candidates for perpendi- cular honors line up and be mea- sured. a , The result enables Harris to re- ftain his title as chafpion tall man ‘of the American League. He is just _ half-inch higher than McGrew, ‘who measures six feet five and one- halt inches. °-It will be in the nature of a ircus attraction when Harris op- ‘poses McGrew on the mound.

The beauty about marathon run- ning is that it keeps the insects cut in the air, but not long enougi.

Marathon runners are always on the go but unfortunately they never go where we'd like to send them. successful) in well: anki 1 calves. To be disgustingly marathoning one must have dcveloped set of intellectu and a full quota of cerebra Marathon runners do not yo in for any special viet. They cant eat anything and dg, if the directions are understandau, Marathon runners are alw. : companied by trainers riding bicy cles. You can judge from this how much brains it takes to be a trainer and how little to be a marathon runner. Marathon runners are hard eggs and usually live to be a ripe old age, which ig another reason why the sport should be discouraged. Old Hi Johnson, who has been running all year and getting no- where, myst know how it feels to run a marathon. Marathon runners must have good wind and plenty of it and in this respect they suggest golfers who have holed out in one. Marathon runners” who lead the simple life always succeed, which serves them right. (Next week Straight Dope Benny will discuss the vice presidency and other non-essentials.)
