He kept that up as cracklong as he was able, but the ing point finally came. His arm went bad. It became sore for the first time. No longer could he rely solely upon speed.

But I'm never at my best except in tough days. I don't want to seem boastful, but in all these years of coddling, comparative ease and comfort I haven't felt right There were times when I hated to see myself in a mirror. John Q. It's strange, but I feel the same way. I've been squawking and making demands all over the lot; I've been getting sore because I had to keep the old car three seasons; I've been yelling murder because there were worms on the third green at the country club, and I've been working up a terrific peeve because of the lack of free gasoline. And now, sudden ly, they all seem unimportant and trivial. Uncle Sam It's a swell break for us both. John Q. But it means plenty of trouble, I suppose.

Instead of a tough, wiry old guy with his fists clenched and his sleeves rolled up, you were like a fat spendthrift, yelling that life was just a bowl of cherries and asking everybody to step up and help himself.

Our own list would be beaded by the one and only Robert Moses Grove. We wouldn't fight about the numerical order of the next four Herb Pennock, Rnbe WaddeU, Carl Hubbell and Eddie Plank. They were all great ball players. Grove rates as the outstanding winner of all time. In his 15 years up to the 1940 season he won 288 games and lost 128 for a grand average of .695. No one else has approached that figure. Christy Mathewson finished his long career with an average of .663. Grover Cleveland Alexander compiled .642. Both of these gentlemen are sure of undying fame, having been chosen tor baseball's Hall of Fame. Eddie Plank's mark was .662, Cy Young's .619 and Big Ed Walsh's .606. As brilliant a pitcher as Waddell was, his lifetime average was .588. Connie Mack, who never did throw his money around, paid the Baltimore Orioles $105,000 for Lefty the most expensive player he had ever bought. Grove proved to be a bar- gam, though. After using him his best nine years. Connie passed him on to Tom Yawkey's Red Sox with Max Bishop and George Wal-ber- g for $125,000 and two players. Grove was thought to be all through then. He was in poor physical condition, though not from lack of training. Every pitch pained him that first year in Boston, and he won and lost eight games. The critics told Yawkey that he had wound up on the short end of the deal. But in the last five years with Boston prior to 1940, Grove pitched 83 winning games working at a .670 clip. In the last two years he won 29 games and dropped only 8. 1929 Your Luncheon Set rm By ROBERT McSHANE (Rcleasra by Weitera Newspaper Union.
