Thurston's performance on thu mound has exceeded expectations. And then some! At present he ranks as the one best bet on the Comiskey twirling staff, With Urban Faber ailing, Thurston has stepped into th breach and made good a ven geance. In a recent series with the Yankees the big fellow literally stood the Huggins outfit on its head. Thurston came to the White Sox last year from the Browns. PAll tola, he worked in 46 games, winning seven and. losing eight. He allowed eighth in this respect. He stood well down the list in giving bases on balls, issuing 38, only hit one batter all season and didn’t make a single wild pitch. For a pitcher, Thurston is an ex- ceptionally good'batter. He hit .316 in 1923. Uhle, Cleveland, and Wai- berg, Athletics, were the only hurl- ers to obtain a higher clouting av- erage. Whether Thurston will keep up his good work is problematical. He may, and then again he may not. At any rate, his work has been one of the bright spots in the White Sox Play to-date. gg a s ; oe ——— | Billy Evans Says | —_—— The classroom status of the college athlete. is becoming a source ot worry to the various coaches.

One Born Every Minute, Few Ever Give Up Hope In certain offices in Wall street tlere’s an axiom, “Once a sucker, always a sucker.” Those who make their living by catching suckers do not cross from their lists the names of individuals who have met with losses, because losses do not cure. There was proof of this only re- eently. The receiver of a bucket shop which closed some time ago received a $75 check through the mail with an order to buy certain securities, Examining the check, the recelver found that it was a dividend check the customer had re- ceived when another bucket shop was closed. It represented all he had salvaged from the wreck. But without even bothering to cash it, he endorsed It and’sent it along. That check came from the Middle West. But there are suckers in New York also, That same re- ceiver a few days later received a check and a buying order. The check was for $400. The sender was a Broadway merchant. The order was not executed, however, as the firm he addressed had failed a year before. “Apparently there’s not only one born every minute, but they never die,” said the receiver as he dic- tated a letter to accompany the re turned check. First Telephone Users Unable to Find Ears In 1877 one of the most important and difficult parts of the work of introducing the telephone into a community was teaching the sub- seriber the correct way of using a telephone, This still has its im- portance and its difficulty. So there is value as well as amusement in the experience of one of the earliest of telephone pioneers, who intro- duced the telephone into Delaware. | He says in an account of those day “In 1877 and 1878 very few people had seen a telephone and fewer still had used it, so that after a sub- scriber had beén secured it required considerable effort to impress upon him the most efficient way to use it. The people did not know, It seems, where their ears were. In fact, an editor said to me one di ‘You should have some one instruct Mr. —— how to use that telephone you have put in for him. He has rubbed the hair off the side of his head trying to find his ear.’ "—Tele- phone Press Service. GOOD INTENTIONS, DIE YOUNG pm MAME Cf On with the Hunt!
