“HORSE” MAHAFFEY
Mahaffey came
to the majors tor
the first time in
1927. He wan
tried out by Pitts
burgh, and by the
way, it strikes me
that quite a few
successful ball
players in the big
time were triea
and rejected by
the Pirates.
He turned up
Mahaffey in Portland in
; 1929 where he ap-
peared in no less than 56 games indi-
cating that he probably pitched about
every other day.
.Connie Mack turned over to Tom
“Turner some fairly good fancy spin-
ach for Mahaffey’s service. Mahaffey
who achieved the sobriquet of “Work
Horse“ on the coast, moved into his
job without the pomp or emotion, ap-
pearing slyly in 383 games last yea:
and winning 9 against 5 lost.
This year the Horse has been start-
ing more regularly, with the results
stated above.
Fifteen won and three muéee pretty
good for a young mai’ +A pitches

day recently and expects to spend sc-
veral more years behind the bat. =
When Jim Bottomley, of the St.
Louis Nationals cracked out six hits
in one game against Pittsburgh, it was
the second such performance, and if
put him in a tie with Ed Delahunty,
old time star. Delahunty hit for six
hits twice during his career.
Manager Mike McNalley of the
Wilkes-Barre Barons of the New
York Pennsylvanmiy league, is ‘being
mentioned as the possible manager of
the Buffalo team of the International
League for 1932.
At the same time it is reported that
Jack Bently will manage the Elmira
Team of the NYP league, and Jake
Pitler or Glen Killenger will manage
the 1932 Wilkes-Barre team. :
Lefty Grove won his 30th game, and
because of it hope has. been reviv-
ed of his chances to break Joe Wood's
record of 34 victories, made in 1912.
The odds are against Lefty, howev-
er, by mathematical calculation.
Assuming the big lefthander pitches
at three day intervals between gamesy
then he can win two more provided he

to add an extra contest. But the op-
portunity of winning as a relief pit-
ing a game or two.
Grove can be counted to cop at
least 2 out of 3, which is a great av-
erage. He cannot win them all and
shouldn‘t be expected to.
This column guesses he will get -at
least two more, for a season’s total of
32 wins. -
Here's the way the pennant races
would have ‘looked on August 21, if
there were no A‘s or Cards.

HETHER you live in the wee
house on the moor, or in the
grand manor on the hill has noth-
ing whatever to do with your
charm as a hostess. For the little
white gate may creak the most in-
viting sort of “come in” and the
pink hollyhocks along the flag-
stone path may nod very gaily to
you as you wander up the moor,
while great wrought-iron: gates
have been known to swing open
with a forbidding clang.
It is all a question of the
genuine gladness in the hospi-
tality which awaits you and the
ease with which you are taken,
for a time, into the life of the
household. If it happens to be a
‘warm day in August or early Sep-
tember when you lift the latch on
the gate, wouldn’t it be inviting
to find a table in some shady spot
—rveranda, terrace or courtyard—
and a tray of glasses con-
veniently near some leisurely-
looking chairs?
An ldeal Setting
a A hospess whose tiny English

her courtyard always set, with de-

gree or yellow pottery and a
bowl of garden flowers. A quick
trip ‘to the refrigerator for some
delidous fruit punch and a tempt-
ing morsel of pastry or sandwich
spread, and presto! refreshments
are served on a wicker tray, the
drinks clinking with ice in color-
ful glasses and the hors d’oeuvre
assortment in separate glass con-
tainers on a round wicker tray.
You stretch out in the awning-
striped chairs sipping something
cool and nibbling something deli-
cious, and you wonder how it was
80 quickly done.
Spilling the Secret
Shall we divulge the secret? An
emergency shelf in the refrig-
erator tells the story. It contains
jars of fruit juices, combined from
left-over syrups from canned
fruits, cans of tomato juice,
orange, grapefruit and pineapple
juices, and several bottles of
charged water to make occasional
“fizzy” drinks. On this same shelf
are tiny cans of sandwich-spreads,
cool and ready to open quickly
and top the “bite-size” wafers
which are kept in a thin box in
the pantry.
Here are some tested recipes for
drinks, devised especially for that
summer thirst:
Four Fruit Fizz: Have the fol-
lowing ingredients very cold: one
cup of orange juice, one-fourth
cup of lemon juice, one cup of
syrup from canned pineapple and
the juice from one No. 3 can of

fresh prunes. (Save the fruit for
a delicious summer salad.) Mix
all ingredients together and, just
before serving, add two bottles of
charged water and plenty of
cracked ice. This fills sixteen
punch glasses. .
Havana Special: Mix together
one 10-ounce can of grapefruit
juice, one cup of syrup from
canned pineapple; add one-fourth
cup of sugar and one cup of wa-
ter which have been boiled to-
gether and then cooled. Chill, add
one bottle of charged water, and
serve very cold in punch glasses.
Thig fills ten punch glasses.
Cherry Rickey: Boil one-fourth
cup sugar and one cup water, cool
and add the juice from one No. 2
can of pitted sour cherries, one-
fourth cup of maraschino cherry
juice 72d the contents of a 10-
ounce ° can of grapefruit juice.
Chill and add the contents of one
bottle of charged water just be-
fore serving very cold. This fills
twelve punch glasses.
Tomato and Celery Cocktail:
Simmer together for thirty min-
utes three cups. of strained tomato
juice, two cups of water, one cup
of celery (using the outer stalks
and leaves), one bay leaf, one
teaspoon horseradish, one pepper-
corn, one teaspoon of salt and one
slice of onion. Strain and cool.
Serve very cold in cocktail
glasses. Serves eight persons.®

Let's suppose there weren't any
Philadelphia Athletics or St. Louis
Cardinals. That is, let's discount their
performances against their foes this
season. We do this by substracting
all the games won by the A's and
Cards from, the loss colunm or their
foes and all games lost by the A’s and
Cards from the victory record of tha
other clubs.

By Richard Lawley :
In these political times, newspapers
that have originated, thrived and blos.
somed on that game have found their
ablest aids in sports. In the old days
editors worked without pay hoping for
some opening to politics, hence, poli-
tics came to sports as well as sports
leaned to politics. It is hard to seper-
ate them and when one becomes re-
miniscent in the newspapers it is mu-
tually beneficial to both the newsdaily
or Sunday as it is to the politicians.
As to the players—well, perhaps most
of them are in polities or business, to-
day. Then, we have the readers.

Highs. In these games the two Scran-

mailed out the Record for years after,
and who resides just beyond the office
of the Post here in Dallas, pitched for
Wilkes-Barre ex-high against St.
Thomas College in the second game,
which began at 5:00 and ended at
7:00. This game traveled only seven
innings, and while the college boys
made 8 errors the ex-high made a
good dozen and Ray was put out in
the 5th. This score was 13 to 4.
These were counted pretty big men
in those days, but wa took a dare and

A FORD”
WaEN you buy a Ford there are two things you never hive Eo
to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life.
Here’s an interesting letter from a Ford owner in North
Carolina: 3
. “My Ford was purchased May 8, 1928, and has been run 121,767
miles. It has never stopped on the road for. repairs of any kind what-
soever except punctures. :
“The brakes were refined at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage aver
aged 21 miles to the gallon, and on tires, 19,000 miles per tire. I travel
* over all kinds of road conditions—mountainous and flat.
“I consider this a wonderful record and I assure you my next car
will also be a Ford.”
- This is just one ot many tributes to the reliability and
long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Towa tells of driving
his Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of
120,000 miles of good service,
ree ta
Think ahead when you are considering the purchase of
an automobile and consider what it will be like after thoas
sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied? Will
you still say “it’s a great car”?
If it’s a Ford, you know everything will be 0. K. Tt will
be taking you there and back in good style, just as it has
always done. And you will have saved many important,
worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and
low yearly depreciation.
