home merchant- an you imagine it.
The home merchant it interested in
you and the town. It is he that sits
up with ydur sick or dead; it is he
that helps keep up your roads, that
pays for the school, that helps build
churches, that donates to every cause
that comes along. Considering all
these things we can't see how auyone
here would trade by the mail order
route simply because they might save
for the day a few pennies on some
trifling article.
Yes. it is beyond us. The same
people wear out the home sidewalk
the home merchant builds. Does it
look fair ?

MANAGER PAT MORAN
HAS MANY TWIRLERS
Red Pitchers Adept at Every
Style of Delivery.
"We have one great asset in our
pitching staff." says Pat Moren, man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds, "and that's
different styles of deliveries. I don't
ever remember seeing so many differ
ent methods of pitching In my whole
career. A club that can send in pitch-
era of varying styles has a big ad
vantage over teams whose pitchers
seem to be made in the same mold.
“The champion Cubs bad It over all
competitors In thia respect. Brown's
delivery was utterly different from
that of Reulbach. and Big Kd. In turn,
threw shoots that had no likeness to
those of Lundgren or Overall. Each
of the four great right-handers had
hla own method of delivery, his own
set of curves, and not a particle of
similarity between any two of them.
Add to this layout the left handed
Pfieister, and the combination was too
much for the other follows.
“Our present staff shows wonderful
variety. Rlxey and Benton, both left
handers. have wholly differing styles
of work. Donahue and Keck, who
should both be great winners this sea
son. employ opposite deliveries, Dona
hue sending them from up high, while
Keck has an underhanded shoot that’s
a wonder. Couch's style hasn't the
least resemblance to that of either
Keck or Donahue, and Luque, again,
doesn't pitch like any of the three
other right-handers.
“Wo can give the hostile batters a
flock of different stuff this summer,
and can mix things up against them
all the time. And 1 think that ta
going to help the good cause consid
erably.“
