YOUNG UNSUNG PITCHING STARS
EASILY ECLIPSING OLD-TIMERS
ri roZZA
lii V7a7i r
Old pitching bones have had a lot of tough going this season
Youngsters unknown and unsung are slipping into the regal robes of
the old kings of the mound-
"Lefty" Cooper Fred Toney "Babe" Adams and "Red" Faber are the
only veterans showing anything close to their old form
Alexander the Great is doing bench duty for the Chicago Cubs with a
core arm and Jim Vaughn his big teammate isn't delivering as expected
Dutch Reuther sensation of the 1919 pennant dash of the Cincinnati Reds
Is a disappointment in Brooklyn and his "old staff mate Hod Eller Is out of
the game under suspension
Burleigh Grimes Sherry Smith and in fact all of Uncle Rob's All-star
pitching staff cracked and Brooklyn is falling down in the pennant race
Ferdy Schupp and Bill Doak of the Cards are out of form Scott Perry
has fallen by the wayside with the Athletics Bob Shawker has been use-
less to the Yankees and Tris Speaker is having his trouble with his stars
Coveleskie Bagby and Mails
Arthur Nehf the $35000 beauty of the New York Giants hasn't been as
ffective as Bill Ryan a rookie pitcher from the International league
Walter Johnson's work with the Washington Senators makes it seem that
the old star is almost through Joe Bush hasn't shown anything for the
Boston Red Sox and George Dais has done the Tigers very little good Dick
Rudolph had to give up after a brave effort and is now working with the
Braves as a coach

there are also signs that a revolt

The very short and very narrow skirt
is no more but it is not to be sue-

extreme for street wear at least This
Is a case of self-determination for
American women and the long skirt is
an abomination on the street
The suit at the right of the two

innovations in style in a conservative
way: the long wide skirt the sharp-
ly defined waistline and it awaits the
approval of many women It Is made
of a soft wool suiting with a plain
