Bob Feller is sure to have a good year. But he isn't sure to have a great year, as great a pitcher aa he has been in the past. The Tigers have at least four highgrade pitchers who also have strong supporting aides. So have the Cardinals. 7 Durable Hurlers ^ When Red Hunger opened his new season, with a well-pitched game, you could almost .hear Eddie Dyer's sigh of relief drift in from the Midwest. For Mimger, over 8 feet, weighing 200 pounds, is the type th»t can work in 35 or 40 games. He is also the type thst might win 25. This means that such slender and somewhat fragile workmen as Pollet, Brecheen and Dickson can get all the rest they need. It Is quite possible that, with the addition of Allle Reynolds and the chawing of young Jehnsea, the Yankees' pitching staff will be the strangest section of the sqaad. If they are to get anywhere It will have to eeme through with better than average pitching. As far back as 1908, the White Sox, known as the Hitless Wonders, proved what good pitching could do. Their team batting average was .228. Yet. Ed Walsh, Nfck Altrock and Doc White carried the team to a pennant, and then to a world series victory over the powerful Cubs. The White Sox, starting from last or near last place, won 19 straight in their flag drive. Pitching did it. In 1814, Radelph, Tyler ai pltchsd the Braves flam last te the pennant, and than a game sweep la the big series. la each ease yeuH notice that I most of the work. ij get ha* enough A gaad pitcker shoald he fenrfli day, te keep ad baUd ap his control. Credit for Connie Mack's star teams of some 40 years ago was always given to his brilliant infield. I'd give even greater credit to Bender, Plank and Coombs, three of baseball's best. His infield wasnt great enough to protect an only average pitching staff. Worked 45 Games All you need, to discover what the power of good pitching means, is to look through past world series records, and see what happened to Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner and many other stars up through Ted Williams and Stan Musial. Giant pitchers held even the mighty Babe to a mark of .118 in one worla^Qries. Most of the preat pitchers of baseball. those with the stronger arms, could work through 45 or 50 games a year. This list includes Cy Young, Matty, Johnson, Alexander, Walsh. Chesbro, Feller, Newhouser and Dizzy Dean. The tendency today Is to lift a pitcher the moment he begins to wobble a trifle. This is often a necessary move.^ But it doesn't help ike pitcher's confidence nor bring -Wm the work he needs. In past seasons, looking wetl back, good pitchers were allowed to stick. This accounts for the fact that many of them were able to win from 30 to M ranges a season. Matty, AI evandef and Johnson turned this trick st least twice. Fpller insists that the heavy pressure he put on his arm last year from January to December had no harmful effect. Everyone hopes Bob is right. But there is also such a« thing as overwork.

Below it, on a gtanite block, is carved the wording "Boston Stone, 1737." Few realize that the ball and the stone were brought from England more than two centuries sgo in the hold of a small sailing ship, and constituted the first paint mill on th^Nor&American continent. Thomas -Child . house painter and stainer, who had ordered it, set it up before his shop on Marshall Lane, where, for many years he placed pigment and oil in the trough hollowed out of the lower stont and rolled the round stone, or muller, back and forth over the mixture, crushing and grinding the paint materials together until they made a smooth liquid coating for the protection and beautification cf Colonial homes. That was the primitive antecedent of the modern watt hours uaed, multiplied by the coat par (kilowatt hour. A kilowatt hour is 1,080 watts used for one hour. To illustrate, if a refrigerator consumes >00 watts and runs for one hour. It would use 200 watt hours, or one-fifth of a kilowatt hour. All electrical bills are calculated oft the basis ot kilowatt hours, so the refrigerator would use one-fifth of a kilowatt hour for each hour it runs. Based on a cost of 2 cents per kilowatt hour the cost of operation would be one-fifth of two cents, or twofifths of s cent for each hour it actually operates. The same method it used to calculate the cost of opera* tion of any piece of equipment. iP Early Thf compass was probably the first inStrufhent sailing men devised to help them a true course. First direct written Veference to the compass which has survived is that of Alexander Nockham, an abbot of St. Albans, in England, who described it as a magnetic needle "six yncheS long, or longer, on a pinne" 'hat was thrust crosswise through a straw or splinter of wood and floated on the surface of water in a bowl. It was the compass which sustained the courage of Columbus, Vasco da Gama and the other great discoverers. But compasses of^gnj stuck, nnd when a vessel hit roug»r~*>2*^, seas, the oscillations of the needle rendered it useless. It showed direction, but did riot help the mariner' to discover where he was. Order your Plaindealer. rubber stMU>ps at the Mariae Ryan "Frqpa the Halls of Montezuma," stirring song of the l/nited States marine corps, has been a traditional battle cry of every conflict this nation has waged since the Mexican war. Said to have originated soon after the close of the war with Mexico, the marines' hymn derives the expression "From the Halls of Montezuma," from the battle of tepee when marines under mmand uf Gen. Winfield Scott stormed the almost impregnable heights of the, Mexican fortress and routed the enemy. Soon afterwards the song came into prominence and was adopted as the official hymn of the marines. --.-- . '• • - N O T I C E - JUST FOR FUN ROLLER RINK.
