A big fried chicken dinner will be served, be- 7inning &t 5 o'clock, followed by dancing. Reservations may be made for special parti —adv. door handle was turned. It wasn'ty Jocked. The connecting room—her bed- room—it was the only chance! She dragged Phil frantically toward the bedroom door. And, perhaps be- cause he was taken by surprise he made no resistance. She pushed him inside. “Don’t make a sound!” she whis- pered tensely “Whatever you hear, if you care anything for your life—or mine—don't say & word or make a sound!” She closed the door softly—and had just time to stand away from it as the Blg Shot appeared from the hallway without. The next instant Roy camé storming into the room, his eyes hard and narrowed, his face flushed @nd his jaw muscles twitching. Per- haps it was her salvation! He would not notice her own agitation. “why, Roy, how impatient you arel” she exclaimed—and wondered if she were speaking naturally. “I was just going to open the door: What is the matter?” i He stared at her for a moment his face working; and then hzl proke into a laugh like that of & inan whose reason had fled.

This is not the leadin: | thought in connection with tie 193¢ | major leaguc campaign but it w become that if Shotton has any luck at all in uncovering new hurl- |ing strength in the training camp. It had been 'so long since a Phil- adelphia National league team led| in’any major part of the year’s| |play thet the 1930 Phillies find themselves among the prospective pennant contenders, all because of | the batting punch shown by the 1929 lineup. That 1929 outfit will be back this year and it will have the same men who blasted the way to six new batting records. There are promises of new batting power, the strong fielding force remains intact and if that pitching help is forth- coming there’s going to be some pennant chatter in and around Baker field. Besides leading the league in club hitting with a team average of .309, the 1929 Phillies piled up these records: Most total bases (modern record) —2559. Best previous record since 1900, set by Cards, 2411, in 1922. Most long hits—509. Old record, 489, by Pirates in 1925. Most ex bases on long hits— 866. Old record, 779, by Cards in 1925. Most home runs—153. Old record, 140, by Cubs in 1884 Most hits- 4, by “Lefty” O'Doul 0Old record, 259, by Rogers Hornsby, Cards, in 1922. Most home runs—43, By Chuck Klein. Old record, 42, by Rogers Hornsby in 1922 Manager Shotton, perhaps with greater limitations, has approached the brilliant record of Manager Joe McCarthy of the Cubs. Shotton had little more than a league franchise when he came to the Phils three years ago. By smart trading he aequired O'Doul, Tommy Thevenow and Pinkey Whitney, and picked up for re- markbaly small sums such budding stars as Chuck Klein ,Don Hurst, Tripp Sigman and others. Pitchers Lester Sweetland and Claude Willoughby who combined to win 29 games in 1929 are ready for another hard campaign and with more help than they have been accustomed to probably will do some constructive work. Shotton will have a park full of rookie pitchers at Winter Haven, Florida, and expects to find two or three dependabies among them. The best young prospect is Harry Smythe who pitched well in several games near the close of the 1920 season. A fpurt by the Phillies would be a great tonic to National league baséhgll and certainly would be welcome t oa club which hasn't won a pennant since 1915. tional League may find trouble in 1920 if Bl;l'l Shotton, shown above with four of his flaming stars of 1929, g staff. | A Washington Bystander By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, D. C,, March 13. —George Norris of Nebraska is one of the very few United States Sen- ators who, after making a speech in that body, does not ask for a copy that he may revise his. re- marks before they appear in the! Cengressional Record And this, despite the tact that Norris speaks in the Senate just ibout as often as any Senator. His reason is typical of the man: “The reporters make a better!| speech for me than I really make myself.” The practice of revision is con- sidered of the greatest importance | on both sides of the capitol. While | it is assumed that a man elected to sither the Senate or the House has 1 good command of English, it nev- er is taken for granted. The ut- most care is exercised by the corps of reporters to make sure that, however faculty in other respects aj man’'s speech may be, it is gram- matically correct in the Record. Thus, recently, when Senator Gould of Maine became highly ex- cited while defending a colleagues and roared, “I approve of what he done and why he done it,” he suf- fered no embarrassment when hej read his Congressional Record thei aext morning. The reporters had seen to that. Good English Insistent are these Senate and House reporters that good English se used whether a member of Con- gress desires it or not. Jim Wicks, one of the veteran Senate report- ars, tells this story: While making a speech, a Rep- resentative said, “That happened to he and 1" The reporter chang= »d it to read, “That happened to him and to me” But when the Representative read his speech later) and noted the change, he put it Jack to “he and 1.” { But the reporter had the lsst‘ chance at the manuscript. Before the speech went to the printer, he finally changed it to read: “He and I had that happen to us.” [ The correct word must be used: whether the speaker uttered it or not. Thus when a Senator recently picked up a law book while speak= ing and said: “I direct the atten- tion of Senators to this case,” the reporter changed the word “direct” to “invite.” H His reason for so doing was log- ical and simple. No Senator can cirect another Senator, but he can invite his attention. 15 i Errors Slip In . Yet despite this care and vig-- ilance on the part of the reporters, y CLAUDE X OUGHBY Sunday afternoon.
