When they arrived in court, no other judge was present, bo they decided to try each other. Hie first judge went up on the bench and said, “You are charged with exceeding the speed limit, how do you plead?” “Guilty,” was the answer. “You are hereby fined five dol lars.” Then they changed places and again the plea was “Guilty.” “Hmm,” said the other judge. ‘These cases are becoming far too common. This is the second case of this sort we’ve had this morning. I hereby fine you 10 dollars or 10 days in jail.” Community Affair The young man at the summer resort, who had become engaged to the pretty girl, received infor mation that led him to question her: “Is it true that since you came up here you’ve got engaged to Billy, Ed, George and Harry, as well as me?” The young lady assumed an air of disdain. “What is that to you?” she de manded. “Just this,” he replied gently. “If it’s so, and you have no objec tion, we fellows will all chip in to gether to buy an engagement ring.” No Fair “Look here,” said the worried householder to the new maid, “why did you tell your mistress what time I came home last night when I asked you not to?” “I didn’t,” replied the maid. “She asked me what time you got in, and I told her I was too busy cook ing the breakfast to look at the clock.” Big Difference Millionaire to beggar: “Be off with you this minute.” Beggar: “Look here, mister; the only difference between you and me is that you are makin’ your second million while I’m still workin’ at my first.” Just The Same “Has James changed much in the years he has l^en away?” “No, but he thinks he has. He keeps talking about what a fool he used to be.” No Bedfellows *1 was so cold last night I couldn’t sleep. I just'lay there and shivered. “Did your teeth chatter?” “I don’t know, we don’t sleep to gether.” APPROPRIATE Son: “Why do dollars have eagles on them?” Father: “They’re symbolic of swift flight.” INTERFERENCE “Did your garden do well this summer?” 0 “No; every time my husband started digging he found a lot of worms, so he’d quit and go Ashing.” Now He Knows A comercial traveler, on leaving a certain hotel, said to the proprie tor: “Pardon me, but with ' what materia] do you stuff the beds in your establishment?” “Why,” said the landlord, proud ly, “with the best straw to be found in the whole country I” “That,” returned the traveler, “is very interesting. I now know whence the straw came that broke the camel’s back.” By JOE MAHONEY \ \ cm ON TOP JAKE cmc meeu PITCHED AN 18-INNING SHUTOUT AGAINST THE ST.

So did Shakespeare, KSpling, Keats and a few others. They were en titled to nod. Most of us are not. We haven’t earned any such breaks. So I apolo gize to the veteran fan from New Jer sey who says that in picking Young, Johnson, Alexan der and Mathew- son as - baseball’s four greatest pitch ers, I mentioned no left-handers. Grantland Rice “Were there no great left-handers?** he asks. “Were there no left-handers to . match the great right-hand ers? There must have been. Who were they?” In order to appease the gentle man from New Jersey and all left- handed athletes and friends, we’ll wade into the game’s greatest left-handers • today and see how they match the game’s four great est right-handers. We are not going as far back as Toad Ramsay and southpaws of a forgotten era. This century is late enough. . Who have been the greatest left handers since 1900? Here are just a few: Carl Hnbbell, New York Giants; Lefty Grove, Philadelphia Athletics; Rnbe Waddell, Philadelphia Athlet ics; Herb Pennock, Athletics, Red Sox and Yankees; Eddie Plank, Philadelphia Athletics; Doc White, Chicago White Sox; Art Nehf, New York Giants; Nap Rucker, Brooklyn Dodg ers; Howie Pollet, St. Louis Cardinals; Hal Newhonser, De troit Tigers (one of the best); Rnbe Marqnard, Babe Ruth, Lefty Gomez. Now there happens to be a pretty fair list of left - handers in this limited group. There are fine left handers not included. But we be lieve this list covers most of the good ones and the great ones. You may notice such names as Ruth, Marquard and Gomez. Ruth has the finest left-handed pitching record. He could easily have been the greatest left-handed ^pitcher of all time. Marquard set or tied an all - time winning record. Lefty Gomez was the most devastating left-hander of his day. He was one of the greatest world series pitch ers. All of this goes to show you what a magnificent list we have all set from which to pick the four best men who might match the four great right - handers we picked some time ago. * • • The Four Top Southpaws Here are the four top left-hand ers we have selected along with an alternate who is hard to leave out. We have seen them all under ev ery form of competition. We admit in advance that we can be wrong. But wrong or right, here they go— No. 1 Carl HnbbelL New York Giants. No. Z Herb Pennock, Athlet ics, Bed Sox, Yankees. No. S Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove, Athletics. No. 4 George Edward (Babe) Waddell, Athletics. No. 5 Eddie Plank, Athletics. We have never yet been able to figure why Connie Mack had the type of mind to go for left-handed hurlers. Yet it was Connie Mack who produced the best of them and the most of them. Connie Mack, or Mr. McGillicud- dy, should have an evenly bal anced mind. Among his right handers he had Chief Bender and Jack Coombs. But among his left handers he had Eddie Plank, Rube Waddell, Lefty Grove, Herb Pen nock, most of the great ones. Mr. Mack must have been a left-hand dreamer. His phantasies must have roamed in the mystic heav ens of the southpaws. Connie will tell yon that Chief Bender was his meet depend able harler. But he will also ten yon Rnbe Waddell was Ms most brilliant all-around pitch er and that Lefty Grove was the all - time sharpshooter. (Look at Grove’s record.) He win Inform yon that Eddie Plank was the old reliable--he won 283 games for the Ath letics. The only great left-hander Con nie Mack never handled was Carl Hubbell, the old meal ticket—the pitcher many old baUplayers will tell you was the greatest pitchev that ever threw a ball. • • # Thu Improved Tigers It is quite possible that Red Rolfe’s Detroit Tigers are not go ing to win the 1950 American league pennant. But it is no part of a certainty that they won’t. At least the ex-Dartmouth entry won’t be very far away. The Tigers rate with the Indians and the Indians are not too far be low the Red Sox and Yankees. The fact is the American League has five improved teams that Ibok to be stronger than last year. — By Harold Arnett SHOE LACE THICK PREVENT SMALL CHILDREN FROM COMPLETELY REMOVING SHOE LACES BY TYING KNOTS IN THEM BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD HOLES.
