Then he left school to pitch for Shamokin, in the Mountain League, which blew up after two weeks and failed to meet the payroll. He wound up with Harrisburg and, after winning 10 and losing 10 there, was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics. Shawkey stayed with Connie Mack through the World Series of 1914, when he had the misfortune to lose a three-hit game to Boston of the National League, 3-1, and to suffer a broken finger on his pitching hand. "Wally Schang threw the ball hard back to the mound and snapped the finger back.

He always threw hard. We used to ask him Avho was doing the pitching, anyway?" Connie broke up his 1914 club and Shawkey went to the Yankees. "I was wild as a march hare with the Athletics. Never learned control till I went with the Yankees," said Shawkey. Three times with the Yankees he won 20 victories.

But his fondest memory is of the time he was selected to pitch at the opening of Yankee Stadium in 1923. He beat the Redsox, 3-1, on three hits and Babe Ruth waUoped a homer. "He was the grtatest showman in baseball. He was just a big kid in the clubhouse or out of it. I never saw a fellow with such power.

And I don't think anyone will ever beat his home run record, though I'll admit I've never even seen Kiner," recalled Shawkey. The most he ever earned as a pitcher in major league ball was $12,500 not much for a 20-game winner by today's standards. Shawkey became interested in gold mining while managing the Yankees' farm club, Newark. A propector interested him in the Quebec property and, after enlisting the advice of a Toronto engineer, Bob bought the holdings. Now "All I have to do is go to my office in Toronto once in a while," smiled Shawkey.

It Here's the problem that must be faced the winter. Never before has it been more important that you save fuel oil and kerosene. This is the case despite the fact that right now, more oil products are being produced and delivered than ever before in the nation's history. With more oil burners, more cars, more diesel trains, planes, farm machinery, the demand for oil exceeds even peak war years.

Al This is what we're doing to meet the situation i i i time high oil reserves at a record high level. The oil industry is spending over 4 billion dollars to find new sources of supply to expand refinery and distribution facilities to provide extra, faster methods of transportation. But in this industry, as in many others, there are difficulties in obtaining necessary materials to expand facilities refineries, means of transportation, storage. To correct the situation will fake time. In the meantime, there's one way you can help: save all the fuel oil you can right now! Ifs the best way you can insure yourself having enough fuel oil the rest of this winter.
