BARCLAY anti-monopo- ly and movements abroad in the land, baseball men generally would welcome with three rousing cheers any formula that would effectively break up the pennant monopoly of the New York Yankees. Winners of the American league pennant and the worlds series in 1936 and 1937, Joe McCarthys Yankees look like such sure-fir- e repeaters again this year in both fields that there seems to be little chance of heading them off. But in the future it is obvious that something must be done to improve other clubs in the American and National leagues particularly the last three teams in each circuit if national interest in the national sport is to be maintained. The tailenders are so hopelessly out of the pennant race from the start that the most ardent followers lose interest. Two major suggestions have Already been brought forward. One is a sort of plan which proposes that the Yankee machine be broken up and the talent distributed to less fortunate clubs. Baseball men agree that this is a bad suggestion. The other way suggested to break that pennant monopoly is to build up the weaker clubs in both the American and National leagues to meet it. This can be done. And the way to to it is by the extension of the farm system. , ? Is the North pole nearer to the center of the earth than the . equator is? 2. Is it possible to expel a member of congress? 3.

It is believed this eye will show objects only 30 feet apart on the moon, and photographs taken through the telescope will give us some astronomical discoveries as important as those made by Galileo. To modern astronomers the camera is as- necessary as the telescope to see the universe accurately. The principle of the telescope was not discovered by Galileo, but he made use of it immediately. On a trip to Venice in 1609 the same spring Henry Hudson sailed for the New world Galileo heard about a telescope. He heard that Hans Lippershey, a Dutch spectacle-maker, happened one day to sight a weathervane through two of his lenses at once. The astonished maker of eyeglasses saw the cock on the church steeple grow larger in size and turn himself upside down. With this news Galileo went home to Padua and began making telescopes. The satellites of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and the mountains of the moon came through his lead pipe with glass ends. Sixty years later Newton invented a telescope with a mirror. This reflecting type has proved the most capable of being built in large sizes. The camera and its use in astronomy would surprise Galileo and Newton more than the size of our giant telescopes. The cameras eye shows no errors causecf by human excitement and visual fatigue. All the actions and objects in the heavens eclipses, spiral nebulae, and cyclones across the sun are observed and recorded by chemicals through eyes of glass. 200-in- share-the-weal- th ing when he knocked out husky Nathan Mann of New Haven, Conn., in less than eight minutes.

It is the season when every room in the house seems to need a lift. If your couch or daybed looks as though it has had a hard Winter now is the time to give it a thought. The couch of the type shown here may be made to fit into almost any decorating scheme if it has a smart and appropriate cover. The one shown here is ideal for a room with modern furniture or for one that follows no particular period. It would also give an interesting accent in a Colonial or provincial room. The cushions match the couch cover. A rough- 1 league batting averages: Bostons Bees truly were the hitless wonders of 1937. They had a team average of .247, made the fewest number of runs, of hits, of total bases, and wound up the campaign in fifth place, only a stones throw from the first division. The answer lay in a defense that was stouter than any other in the league. It was a bad year for Cincinnatis betting baseball players. Manager Charley Dressen wagered, among other things, eight hats to one of Jimmy Wilsons that the Reds would beat out the Phils in the standings; and Chick Hafey, who had a sporting wager with Wally Berger over relative batting marks, found his .261 average more than 20 points Pineapple Cream for Plain Cake. under that of the Giants outfielder.

Carrying this business a little further, you will find that the first names of ten of the fifteen listed heavyweight champions of history began with J and three of them were called James.

American Association as their principal training grounds for talent. These two powerful minor league clubs will continue to produce fine baseball ability every year for the Yankees. The Yanks are one of several teams that have discovered that the proper method of supplying a winning major league club with capable talent is to own some minor league teams. Ruppert first tried paying high prices for advertised stars when he took over the Yanks. This proved too costly. The farm method has proved far better. It costs less and supplies classier material. The St. Louis Cardinals under Branch Rickey made a similar discovery a few years back and they now have the most extensive chain farm system in baseball. The thing for the other clubs to do is to build farm systems that are as good as the Yankees or the Cardinals have and the Giants, Cubs and Indians are developing. Such a measure would eventually equalize' the playing strength of the various teams and bring into a more even balance the strength of the American and the now admittedly weaker National league. Of course there is the alternative of a bigger scouting system for every team. But if the top clubs continue to increase their farm activities, the field for scouting will be so limited that it will be difficult to find adequate talent except on teams owned by other clubs. Scouts are said to be running into that situation already. Baseba" fans everywhere love a winner. They are content as long as their team is in the fight. But they are justly dissatisfied with teams that have no chances whatever. Unless the problem of strengthening the tailenders is solved shortly, it is not inconceivable that major leagues be cut to six clubs each or some of .the franchises moved. Moving the franchises might not remedy the situation more than temporarily. The solution is for all major league clubs to be so financed that they can establish adequate farm systems of their A Quiz With Answers |
