...have been the increased efficiency of the club's fielding, the hitting of Outfielder Melvin Ott, the constant brilliance of Pitcher Carl Hubbell. Universally rated the best lefthander currently functioning, often rated the best in baseball history, Hubbell, a long, drawling Oklahoman, has been as valuable to the Giants this year as famed Christy Mathewson was to Giant teams before the War. Last week he won his 23rd victory of the season, his 13th...
Among the dozen or so big U. S. companies in the business of forging, casting, hammering, machining & building out of wood, iron and steel the strong and powerful implements of railroading, Baldwin Locomotive has a big place. Of the three big U. S. makers of that essential giant, the locomotive, it is by far the oldest (founded 1831). In 1929 it outsold American Locomotive, its big competitor.

To rescue the 19 remaining, General Queipo de Llano sent from Seville a giant German Junkers transport, escorted by a scouting plane. This outfit safely evacuated Granada's U. S. tourists, flying them to Seville, whence they jounced by bus to Cadiz, boarded the U. S. cruiser Oklahoma and were taken to British Gibraltar, mostly dead broke.

...peewee chest, throat, lips, cheeks. In December Stanwurt played the euphonium at a policemen's entertainment in Norfolk City Auditorium. Then he graduated to the biggest wind instrument of all, the Sousaphone (see cut). From H. N. White Co. in Cleveland, Father von Schilling obtained a King Giant Sousaphone with a 28-in. gold bell and the standard-sized mouthpiece. The Sousaphone was mounted on a rack so that Stanwurt could crawl into it, huff & puff, while his father accompanied on the accordion. Convinced of his offspring's commercial possibilities, George von Schilling copyrighted the name "Master Stan...
