However, a theory recently proposed by Gerard P. Kuiper of the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago, and strongly supported at last week's meeting by Eugene R.

The second division teams should give the leaders a good deal of trouble, but won't be too much in the running.

He kept right on using it against the Redlegs last week while he beat them, 5 to 4, for the ninth straight time. Whenever he was in trouble he went to his mouth, careless of a Cincinnati slow-motion movie camera that was recording every pitch...
