OU brought out an important point in connection with Carl Hubbell, writes Old Timer, that I dont think you stressed enough. This was about Hubbell after 20 years of pitching, 15 years as a big leaguer, still trying to learn something new or something better. I always knew that Carl Hubbell was one of the smartest pitchers This ' in baseball. proves that he is even smarter than I thought he was.

Another known naval fact is that the Japs have lost approximately half of their airplane carriers. And with air power what it is today, this is the type of vessel they can least afford to lose. On the American side of the picture is the fact that U. S. repairs off ships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor have been miraculously swift.

But here and there you can pick up something that will help a lot. Walter Camp and Pudge Years ago Walter Camp told me an interesting experience he had had with Pudge Heffelfinger, a football star who lasted over 30 years. Pudge was so good, Camp said, that I was afraid he would he anIn place of that other know-it-al- l. he kept coming to me for more advice on guard play. I showed him three new variations. Later on he came back and told me he had learned four new angles. One of these was the possibility of the running guard. How many people know that Pudge Heffelfinger had worked out and developed the correct method of the running guard1 around 1889 or 1890? the challenge to do thing in buying clothes for classroom and campus wear been so keenly felt as now when war conditions call for wise and careful judgment in acquiring a wardrobe with an eye to the future as well as the present. While the new fashions are making simplicity and practicality their plea, and while they conform patriotically to every priority ruling, there are at the same time turning out to be about the most flattering, the most charming and and desired apparel that ever graced a fall style program. Especially in the college and schoolare girl realm, the incoming styles new so definitely and refreshingly looking and different, so fascinatingly colorful and so everything girls want their clothes to be, shopping this season resolves itself into a grand and glorious adventure rather than an arduous task. The new wide-wal- e corduroys and the handsomely colorful velveteens are taking the young fashion element by storm but no more so than are the smart and delightfully wearable rayon jersey weaves.

There the punitive action consists of a $500 fine, immediate eviction from the game and a suspension. MacPhail, evidently in a burst of announced that the whole world is against Brooklyn. The Flatbush firecracker knows better than that. He knows the fans of the United States want to see the Dodgers repeat. They like their aggressive scrappiness. They want to see Mickey Owen redeem himself, and they want to see the mighty Yankees clouted from their throne. y' End in Sight But the fans want the bean-ba- ll operation brought to a halt and fast. The paying customer likes fighting ball players, but he doesnt like dirty ball players nor managers who condone, even encourage, dirty tactics. In spite of MacPhails outburst, the new edict by Frick likely will bring an end to the duster. Two hundred dollars means no more to the average manager than his right arm, even though said fine would come from the club treasury. If everything else fails which isnt exactly impossible then President Frick will be forced to follow the American league plan. Thats almost a sure cure because very, very few pitchers become angry enough to toss $500 at the head o' any batsman. much-to-be-admir- ed dull finish but they are so delightfully lightweight they are the kind All types of you love to wear. a season are this joy to wear, jersey so much so that if there is one fabric that stands out more than another as a favorite for the making of the simple casual daytime frock, jersey is its name.

Simultaneously he also had to figure the risk of a Jap attack on various other vital points Midway, Alaska, Hawaii, even the continental United States. Top admirals these days do not take chances. Not when the fate of a nation depends on them. Therefore, it requires only a mathematician to figure that the scale of American strength in the Pacific has turned. It reached its low ebb just after Pearl Harbor, when the navy was unable to do anything about the Philippines, Singapore, or Java. But now the Battle of Midway has shown that Hawaii and the West d coast can be defended by planes. No Jap ship dares come d near planes without committing suicide. This leaves a reinforced fleet to operate in the Pacific. Top naval men are not doing any crowing yet. But at least the naval picture seems to counterbalance some of the bad news from Russia which is going to get a lot worse. land-base- land-base- The big fad that is spreading out through every campus and in the sports world at large is that of the simple daytime classic done in natural beige colored jersey, styled after the manner of the charming dress centered in the above illusBURIED SILVER tration.
