...Musial is the highest salaried (at $50,000 a year) and most feared batter in the National League-and especially devastating in Brooklyn, where he has batted well over .500 this season. When Musial grounded out that first time UD, Ebbets Field breathed more easily. But on his next trip to the plate, Brooklyn groaned. "The Man" had lined up on an inside pitch and hit it squarely...
With September's 30 days looming ahead, Stan Musial cannot afford to let his big bat cool off. Although the Cardinals have the best of the schedule (they begin a long home stand while Brooklyn embarks on a perilous western trip), they could very easily blow the pennant if Marty ("Mr. Shortstop") Marion's ailing sacroiliac doesn't behave. Solid, knowledgeable Marty Marion is the steady man who holds the Cardinal infield together...
Last year the Australians made their challenge for the Davis Cup without lanky Veteran (30) Jack Bromwich; it would have meant a trip by air, and Bromwich preferred ships. This time the Aussies traveled Jack's way and he came along as playing captain. It helped some, but not enough. At Forest Hills last week, the Aussies took the doubles (with Bromwich and 29-year-old Billy Sidwell as heroes), but the U.S.'s Ted Schroeder and Pancho Gonzales trod the challengers down under in the singles to keep the cup, 4-1. Australia's consolation...
When the bees are released, they will (usually) take the sugar syrup home to the hive in the tree. If luck is with the hunter, they will bring comrades back to help carry the rest of the free lunch. When dozens or hundreds of bees are making the trip, the hunter can set his beeline in the right direction...
Paint One Blue. The next step is to estimate the distance by timing the round trip of an individual bee (a worker bee flies about 15 m.p.h,). To do this, one particular bee has to be marked. Hunter Edgell does it by selecting a bee which has worked its way into a cell of the comb and is relatively immune to outside distractions. Then he daubs its rear with blue paint (made from carpenter's chalk and water). On the next trip, the blue-bottomed bee stands out from its fellows...
