300 Games While Losing: GROVE, Lefty (1900- ), American baseball player, who was one of the greatest left-handed pitchers in the game. He mastered a violent temper and a control problem to win 300 games while losing 141, and to post a lifetime eamed-mn average of 3.06. He led the American League 4 times in games won (1928-24, 1930-28, 1931-31, and 1933-24); 7 consecutive times in strikouts (1925—1931); and 9 times in earned-run average— 4 times in successive years ( 1929-1932).
Canyon (10-14 overall, 6-8 Foothill, which wraps up today at 3:15 p.m. against visiting Burbank, has failed to qualify for the playoffs for the fourth successive season. The Cowboys fell short by losing three games the past 10 days.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
