Dlue Cows Blue Milk
One of the milkmans regular
customers complained to him one
day that the quality of the milk
lately didnt seem up to par
Thats because of the time of
the year he explained we are
unable to send the cows out to
graze in this cold weather and
since they cant eat green grass
they cant produce milk as rich
as they do in the summer But
believe me madam they arc Just
as sorry they cant give you rich
milk os I am Why do you know
I went out to milk them just this
imornlng and they were all crying
f because they realized thclr milk
was so thin
Thats all very well answered
the lady but I wish you would

SHOTTON doesnt become
BURT
tangled up with any soft job
next season He had a young pen-
nant winner this last fall and his
team will have another years ex
pcrience to work on
There arc a lot of things for
which there Is no substitute One
of these Is experl
ence This should
be a tough squad
to handle over 154
games with its
catching pitching
Infield outfield
speed and youth
What else can you
ask for7 Two
things when It
Grantland Rice comeS to a world
scries A big hitter such as Joe
DIMagglo and a relief pitcher
after the fashion of Joe Page
The Dodgers are a better
team over a 154 game stretch
than they are at the shorter
world scries It may be that by
next fall big Don Ncwcombe
can work two world scries
games at top speed or that
some other star will at rive
The two Dodger pitching prob
lems or mysteries ore Ralph
Dranca and Rex Barney Here are
two young pitchers who have
everything except one Ingredient
That happens to be a winning mar
gin Together they won only nine
more games than they lost this
past campilgn and thats not
enough for what should be two big
pitchers
One main trouble is that neither
Is sure of his control At almost
any given moment either might
start dishing out passes and blow
the game before it can be saved
There Is only one way thWweak
ness can be cured Thats by hard
work
I rccill many years ago
Christy Mathewson telling how
be cured Ills wlldncss I put
up a stake at tlio pitching
d 1 s t a n c c M he said and
worked any number of hours
throwing one just to the left
of the stake and then one just
to the right My target was a
matter of Inches 1 felt I was
Improving when I could plant
a curve ball or a fast ball on
either side of the stake and yet
fairly close After that the
plate looked bigger than a bar-
rel But tt called for a lot ot
pitching In practice
If Branca and Barney could put
In a good many hours pitching for
control pitching to hit a tin cup
there would be no great trouble

ahead This is the same treatment
Tommy Byrne another potential
great should employ Byrne with
control could be a stand out pos-
sibly the best pitcher In his league
Even as wild as he was Byrne won
15 and lost seven for a mark of
C82 But the left handcr Is po
tcntially a 25 game winner

Pitching Problems
Even this far ahead It Is easy
enough to see that the main prob-
lem next season will be pitching
It was terrible pitching that
wrecked the Red Sox through July
Fourth and left them 12 games off
the pace Thats a big gap to make-
up The Red Sox made It up at the
fag end of the stretch and then
had nothing left for a killing fin
Ish
Next spring Joe McCarthy
will be In far better shape than
he was last spring especially
for pitching He will have
young McDcrmott a likely look-
ing kid ready to go lie will
have Ellis Kinder who was
called to action too late this
last summer And he will have
In Mel Tarnell a probably 25
game winner The Red Sox
dont care too much for the
riding they took In many
quarters this last season for
permitting the wounded
wrecked and crippled Yankees
to beat them out
They will have to show a bit
more firo next year In place of
riding along on their averages Av-
erages dont win pennants or
World series
Casey Stengel may have as
many pitching problems as he had
through the last campaign In Ras
chl Reynolds Byrne Lopat San-
ford and possibly Porterflcld the
Yankees have good but erratic
starting strength And In Joe Page
they have the equal of two good
pitchers Without Joe Page this
Yankee staff would have been nil
But If Porterflclds arm returns
and if Byrne can locate something
even approaching control the staff
will be good In 1947 Joe Pago
saved and won the pennant In
1943 Page was of little help and
the Yankees lost In 1949 Page re-
turned to his former form and the
Yankees won again If Joe keeps
his weight In check this winter and
reports fairly firm next spring the
Yankees will have a winning staff
Both Detroit and Philadelphia
have the pitching if other weak
spots can be cured before the 1950
season begins

Mistletoe Kiss
Began as Myth
Practice Symbolized
Expulsion of Evil
The origin of the yuletlde custom
of kissing under the mistletoe Is
shrouded with some uncertainty
but It Is believed that the original
practice was symbolical of assur
things that they would not harm
Balder But she forgot to extract
such a promise from the mistle
toe
Knowing this Loki made an ar
row from the mistletoe and gave
It to Balders blind brother Hoder
and told him how to use It The
occasion was a demonstration that
all things so loved Balder that
nothing could harm him Hoder did
not know the mistletoe would prove
a lethal weapon
from Odin chief ot all the gods
that if every living thing would
weep for Dalder ho would be re-
stored to life Frigga had everyone
weep for Dalder but Loki Dis
guised as an old witch he declined
to weep
As a result Odin permitted Dald
er six months of life and six months
of death which explained the sum
mer and winter seasons to the old
Norsemen Frigga wos given care
of the mistletoe so it would never
again bring sorrow
Keep Safe
AT CHRISTMAS TIME
Christmas this year should be a
safe Christmas safe for cveryono
from the tiniest tot to the oldest
grandparent Too much emphasis
cannot be put on safety in decora
tions especially In the use of
electric lights
Too often a set of defective lights
is the cause of a tragedy or near
tragedy during the holiday season
Sockets for miniature electric
tree lights must be deep so the
metal at the base of the plug Is
completely covered and tinsel and
trimmings canot touch it
If buying new lights this year bi
sure to get those with deep sockets
so none of the metal will be ex-
posed It might even bo a good in-
vestment to replace all shallow
socket strings of lights with deep
socket ones
It would be well for every family
that expects to use lights this year
to check them closely and make
necessary replacements in time
Regular illuminating bulbs IS
watts or higher must not be used
on Christmas trees They can get
hot enough in a few minutes to set
the tree on fire

A hunter claimed that his dog
nad the most sensitive nose of any
animal in the world He liked to
tell of the time that he flushed a
pheasant The bird dashed for
some underbrush and the dog was
ordered to go in and flush it again
The animal unfortunately
picked up the bird s back scent
and followed it swiftly for miles
and miles Finally he reached a
tree He looked up into the branch
s and barked loudly When the
writer caught up with the dog he
followed the dogs gaze and saw
ihc nest from which the pheasant
lad been hatched two years be
ore He never did explain how the
pheasants egg got into that nest
