REDS DESERVE PLACE AT TOP Editor's Note; If not the surprise, the Cincinnati Reds have been the sensation of the first third of the National League pennant race. The reason for their success is outlined by Tom Swope veteran Cincinnati baseball scribe, in the following article: New York, June 12 —(U.R) —Baseball fans up and down this broad land are claiming to be mystified by the continued presence of the Cincinnati Roils at the top of the National league hectic pennant race. But there really isn't much cause to call the Reds the “surprise" team of the season. Thu i.ang led by Jack Hendricks finished fifth last year and this spring, strengthened by the addition of Marty Callaghan an outfielder and hitter of great ability, the Reds have picked up and are making the pace for the rest of the pack in a fashion that should convince anyone they mean business. At the Polo grounds yesterday they went into the ninth inning three runs behind and promptly put on a balling rally of four single and a home.* to 1 grab five runs and win. 7 to 5 thus eliminating the Giants as an immediate challenger for tlie lead. The leaders now are on a 24 daytrip and so far have won 11 games and list reven. They started this jaunt at St. Louis May 24 and had to win their second day out to keep the Cardinals from taking first place | away from them. As a road club, the Reds are far and a wav the best -in (he senior league this year The utroiuest point about Cincy’s team is its defense, not its pitching so much as the smoothness of its infield. Horace Ford and Hughey Critz. shortstop and second baseman respectively are tieating the fai.3 to the greatest offensive ball, they ever have .'.ecu. They make the old tinker and kiers combination of Chicago's halcyon .lays just a fond memory. Right now. Red Lucas, Carl Mays and Adolfo Luque, three of baseball's ablest right handed pitchers, are laid up with injuries George' Kelly also is too tan o to play first ami Ethan Allen, a corking outfielder, likewise is crippled. With these five men out, the Reds last week bail a big slump, fo'- them They lost taree straight but they snapped out of their stump and now they be’ieve th.ey’ll wind up this long trip in Philadelphia Saturday in | first place and go home to an adtnir-I Ing throng of Redlands fans just as they left —as the leaders of the hottest flag race baseball has seen for many a year. o— Watching The Scoreboard —(U.R)— Yesterday’s hero—Vai Picinich, Cincinnati catcher, who jlrove in four of the runs, including the deciding two in the ninth, making two homers, as the Reds defeated the Giants, 7 to 55. Grover Cleveland Alexander held the Braves safe and made a home run himself as the Cards kept pace with the league leaders, beating Boston, 8 to 1. Riggs Stephenson’s bat provided the deciding punch as the Cubs won the opener from 'he Rnbins, 3 to 1. Don Hurt’s homer in the seventh gave the Phillies a 6 to 4 victory over the Pirates. Ted Blankenship held the Yankees to four hits and the White Sox heat the world's champions, 6 to 1. Simmons and Foxx hit homers in quick succession with the score tied in the eighth and the A's beitt the Tigers, 4 to 2. Kenna. a rookie catcher, drove in the run that enabled the Senators to defeat the Indians in ten innings, 7 to 6. A single, a walk, a balk and a long sacrifice fly gave the Browns the winning tally in a pitching battle between Crowder and MacFayden, lost by the Red Sox. 2 to 1. o Monster Pudd.ng One hundred years ago <>ne of th? world’s largest plum puddings the Wellington pudding, was made In London. It weighed 4-5 O pound* and took four days and four nights to cook The Ingredients included three gallons of brandy and wine. 0 Willing to Drat the Kids Ad In exchange: "Mother's Help er.

Peasant's Retort Won French King's Praise The subject of King Henri IV, “le bon rol Henri," he who said Paris was well worth a mass, la Inexhaustible and the French always receive a book of anecdotes and biographical details on him with delight. From the latest volume Pierre Yun Paassen, writing In the .\tlantu Constitution, culls this) Incident. One day the king was passing through a village where he was obliged to halt for dinner. Before sitI tipg down he asked the host of the 1 tavern: "Invite me the man who passes for being the most spirited In your commune." King Henri was told that it was a fellow named Galllard. "Go and fetch him,” ordered the king. The peasant soon arrived. Henri told him to sit opposite at the table j nnd to share his meal of roast chicken j with Chablis. “What’s your name?" asked the king. “Sire,” replied the rustic, "my name Is Gaillard." "Whst dlfferefice is there between a galllard ! (genial, good-hearted fellow) and a palllurd (scoundrel)?” "Sire.’ eame back 'the peasant without a moment s hesitation, "there's only a wooden table between them." "Ventre Saintgris!" roared the king, "that’s a good one. I had never expected to find such a great spirit In such a small village.' Petition to Heaven Out of the Ordinary “Bob" Edwards, a Canadian member of parliament, who founded a little paper called the Calgnry Eye Opener among the Northwest Mounted Police, about a quarter of a century ago, composed at the time a little prayer, perhaps in emulation of that of Robert Louis Stevenson. Quoth Bob: “Lord, let me keep a straight way in the path of honor — and a straight face in the presence of solemn asses. “Ijet me not truckle to the high, nor bulldoze the low; let me frolic with the Jack and the Joker and win the game. "Lead me Into Truth nnd Beauty—and tell me her name. "Keep me sane, hut not too sane. Let me not take the world or myself too seriously, and grant more people to laugh with and fewer to laugh at. “Let me condemn no man because of his grammar and no woman on account of her morals, neither being responsible for either. “Preserve my sense of humor and of , values and proportions. Let me he ' helpful while I live, but not live too • long. Which is about all today, Lord, j Amen.” Resourceful Young Girl Little Charlotte was Impatient to see her father, who was busy in the basement. She was not allowed to go down the stairs alone but stood at the top calling Impatiently: "Daddy, hvry up, daddy. Come upstairs to Sharlle. Come on, daddy! Come now.” Finally her father replied somewhat sharply that he would come soon, but that Charlotte would gain • nothing by Impatient teasing. Silence, while this idea was sinking It. Then once more the basement door opened, and in a perfect imitation of her mother’s voice, Charlotte called down: “Bill, you're wanted on the telephone.”—Children, the Magazine for Parents. Self-Evident “What are you going to have for I dinner, mamma?” asked little Nancy Adams one Sunday morning. “Roast pork, darling." "Can I have some?" "You and June may have n little — not much.” the mother replied. Nancy and Jane went into a huddle i and the mother overheard the debate about the meat course. Nancy the younger, wanted to know what roast pork was and why they could have only a little. Jane explained that mother thought it was Indigestible; whereupon Nancy replied: “00, then I know It Is something 1 like.’’—Los Angeles Times. True Beauty Straight noses, symetrical features, and attractive hair colorings, while they give one prettiness, do not necessarily constitute beauty. On tlie contrary, one has no beauty, in the strict sense, unless she expresses the finer mental and spiritual qualities, along with health and vitality. In short, beauty is not merely a physical possession. determined by body structure and coloring and texture. It is not skin deep, it Is much more than that It Is in large part tlie reflection of personality—a revelation of life ami health, intelligence and spirit—Physical Culture Magazine. Life’s Brightest Moment A small hoy was walking home: from a music lesson with his violin i under his arm, when a thief crept up, behind him, snatched tlie instrument, and immediately disappeared. It sounds like a dream come true. Millions of small boys like to Imagine such a theft while practicing on the piano at home, hut it practically neverhappens.Detroit News. Disillusioned “Well, 1 don't think much of women," said nine-year-old Joe, coming home from school. "Why, what’s happened to you and KaLheryn?’’ queried his mother. "Well, she only get forty In arithmetic today. That’s Just too duAb!”
