Show Enormous Eyes Some creatures have enormous eyes in proportion to the size of their bodies. Human eyes, in the same ratio to the body, would weigh as much as five pounds. , (PORTS Aa8rff)?iry,C37rZlSA Released by Western Newspaper Union. DAUL veteran pitcher is Mr. Big, generally speaking, when it comes to wearing baseball equipment, but Mike Naymick of Cleveland and Johnny Gee of the Pirates put in large orders when preparing to dress for baseball activity. Derringer, for example, wears a size 50 shirt and orders a 7 cap, which requirements make him about the biggest man on the diamond. Bobo Newsom, who has settled down with Connie Mack, also wears a size 50 shirt, while Thornton Lee of the White Sox dons a 7 cap, 'but Paul's head is bigger than Bobos, and his chest measurement tops Lees. Naymick takes big honors in the shoe department, his dogs demanding a set of 15 brogans, while Johnny Gee, who towers 6 feet 9 inches above the pitchers mound, wears the longest uniform in the majors. Although his chest measurement is only 46, Johnnys shirttail is 12 inches longer than standard and his pants are 9 inches longer than the average players requirements. These facts, and others of a similar nature, are revealed by Jimmy Carrig, the Goldsmith man, who has been measuring major leaguers for the last 20 years and who can just about tell you how many times a given player can sneeze before the button pops off his collar. 4 of theDerringer, Chicago Cubs, Yanks on Way to Invasion by Air and Sea Y just all-arou- nd By air and sea the army and navy of the Allied countries join in invasion of French coast. The U. S. paratroopers reflect confidence as they fly over the English channel en route to the invasions of Europe. They were among the first assault troops to land on the continent. More than 4,000 vessels were employed in the initial landings.

Its weapon consists of a tube-lik- e mouth from which it can propel a tiny jet of water accurately for some feet. When the archer sees an insect resting on a plant or other object above, it sneaks up, then shoots, wetting its prey and causing it to fall into the water where the archer gobbles it up. The amount of water which the fish ejects is only a couple of drops but the bullet has speed and force. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT PERSONAL Check Up Ob Yonrself.

The small cap department is headed by Lou Boudreau, Indians manager; Muddy Ruel, White Sox coach ; and Ival Goodman, Cubs gardener, all of whom wear a 6 bonnet. Myril Hoag, now with the White Sox, has amazingly small feet, wearing a size 4 shoe of D width. Dom Dellasandro of the Cubs also pulls on a 4 shoe, but he requires a triple E width for his almost round feet. Skeeter Webb and Muddy Ruel of the White Sox wear the smallest uniforms, size 40 shirts and size 34 paints. Carrig recalls that Pitcher Walter Brown, best remembered as a Yankee, wore a size 54 e shirt, while Gob Buckeye, Cleveland hurler, hitched up a pair of size 46 pants.

Nazi Butterfly rtfW'V"Vyi Pet Superstitions Carrig reports, too, that there are many player superstitions concerning uniforms. Billy Jurges of the Giants will wear any number but seven. Claude Passeau of the Cubs insists on number 13. Many players, if they have a good putting day after inadvertently their sweat shirts on inside out, will wear the shirt inside out until a slump convinces them otherwise. The same applies, in many cases, when a player unconsciously puts on a sock inside out or rolls his pants in another manner.
