Dewey Casts Eye Toward Presidency

Washington.—Last week we looked at some of the con­
tenders for the Republican presidential nomination. This
week it is the New York governor’s turn.
More than one person who has tried to talk about or write
about Thomas Edmund Dewey has complained of the diffi­
culty of this task. There doesn’t seem to be any one place to
begin or end.
T W H IL E watching a various as-
’ ’ sortm ent of pitchers and so-
called pitchers give up 68 walks
through the world series, one begins
to wonder what has become of base­
ball's real pitchers.
Watching Burt Shotton vainly try ­
ing to find one pitcher who could go
five innings — just
one pitcher in seven
gam es—one begins
to wonder again if
the a r t of pitching
isn't really lost.
F rom the stars

have
known
from the old days
of real pitchers, we
learned that a good
pitcher needs ju st
three things — a
G. A lexander fast ball, a curve
ball and control.
W alter Johnson needed only a fast
ball and control. Today, pitchers are
looking to a slider, a knuckle ball,
a screw ball, a sailer—alm ost ev­
erything except control.
Im agine a Dodger pitching staff
that hasn’t a pitcher who can travel
five innings. The Y ankees were only
a little b etter off. They had a fellow

j nam ed Page. These took care of
three of the four gam es the Yankees
I won.
The only pitcher the Dodgers had
was a big, husky fellow known as
Hugh Casey. Casey was the Dodger
itching staff. The Dodgers needed
im in only six of their seven gam es.
We’U nam e a few g reat pitch­
e rs for you, if you’ve forgotten

te r Johnson, C hristy Mathew-
son. Chief Bender, Eddie Plank,
G rover Cleveland A lexander,
Addie Joss, Ed Walsh, Smoky
Joe Wood, Carl Hubbell, Lefty
Grove, Dizzy Dean — these are
just a few.
Walsh used a spitter and Hubbell
used a screw ball. The others had
the three ingredients we have m en­
tioned. M atty picked up his fade­
away after he hurt his arm and lost

Bright Colors of Autunir.
In Leaves During Summer
Most of the color which leaves
display in autumn in such variety
is there in the leaf all the time—
but we don't see it till fall. There
are three colors in a green leaf:
green, yellow and red. But the
green is so strong in the summer
that that’s all we see; then, when
fall comes the green color disap­
pears and we see the red and yel-
iow. Frost has little or nothing to
do with it.
Several simple declarative sentences can be w ritten about the am bi­
tious governor of the State of New York.
F or instance, he is ambitious.
