Since the World Series, talk of
championship ball does not enter into

times in the hands of Jimmie Ripple

play it.that way. Even the Italian hit

kind of intelligent pitching, could have
caused a Giant's victory in at least
four of the seven games of the series.
There has been considerable talk re-

Smarter than the other fellows, we ad-

begin wondering what's the matter
with you.
The other day while we Were pass-
ing John Mould’s place, below Mt,
Greenwood, we. heard a great bang,
which must have . awakened Mr.
Mould’s new twin babies from a sound
sleep. And then we saw a yellow
heeled sedan, all crippled, crawl on
down to Asa Shaver’s home.
It seems that; Asa wast home.
Maybe he was down at Woolbert! s,
recounting the '‘diffierent’ bargains
which he got in his palmy days. Any-
how, as we arrived, still on foot, three
young ladies ‘climbed out of the car.
One of them asked us if we could jack
the car up.’ She said she could change
the tire herself, if only the wheel was
off the ground. * nt
* The car itself was now pretty nearly
flat on the ground on Asa’s lawn, and
to get a jack under the axle was like
{trying to give a hypodermic to a cock-
roach that couldn't stand up.
But we took the jack, connected the
rod and shoved it ahead under the
car, and when it struck something we
went to work jacking up whatever,
would come up. : Pretty soon we heard
a cracking and splitting, so we got up
to see how a car could make a noise
like timber breaking.
We had jacked Asa Shaver’s porch
up about a foot. We were too strong
for any car hoisting, so we flagged
Cobleigh’s truck, which was passing,
and the driver sent his helper up for
his own jack. Just then Tom Reese
came along and we figured we'd better
turn the job over to the others.

Dynamite has two actions, Mr.
Livingston points out, the breaking
action, which is very rapid, and the
heaving action, which is compara-
tively slow. The crib fulfills two
functions. First, the brush serves
as a cushicn to absorb the shock
of the breaking action, so that ¢nly
the “heave” is applied to the mass
of logs. Second, the weight of the
logs confines the blast, preventing
the heaving action from tossing the
stump into the air. The chain is
not broken.
