STASSEN-DEWEY DOUBLE
BEECH?
Very quiet moves have been
launched recently by the Dewey and
Stassen forces to get together in ad
vance of the Chicago convention.
The approach was made through
a close friend of Governor Stassen
who came to see Governor Dewey
the other day and suggested that
while he couldn’t speak outright for
Stassen, the Stassen forces might be
willing to get on the Dewey band
wagon if Stassen could be assured
of the No. 2 spot on the Republican
ticket.
Dewey replied that he had pre
ferred Governor Warren of Califor
nia, but he would certainly be glad
to consider Stassen for vice presi
dent providing, of course, the Min
nesota governor withdrew from the
race for President in advance.
It was left that Stassen’s friend
would write to him asking him cate
gorically whether he would with
draw from the presidential race if
given the No. 2 place on the ticket,
and also whether his forces would
cooperate to nominate Dewey.
There has not been time as yet to
receive a reply.
What the Dewey forces want to
prevent is' any remote chance of a
deadlock at Chicago which might
swing the nomination to Stassen,
Justice Owen D. Roberts or to Will-
kie. While they have so many dele
gates they don’t believe there is
much chance of this. Nevertheless,
they know that Pennsylvania’s Joe
Pew has been hoping for a deadlock
which would throw the convention
to Justice Roberts.
NOTE—Friends of Roosevelt are
frank in admitting they would much
rather have Dewey as an opponent
than Roberts. The Supreme court
justice has cooperated with the
President at Pearl Harbor, has an
even better record than Dewey’s in
breaking up graft as prosecutor of
the Teapot Dome scandals, is tall,
handsome, a powerful, brilliant
speaker. However, GOP diehards
consider him too much in favor of
international cooperation.

TT WOULD have been a big lift to
1 big league baseball if Lou Novi-
koff, the Mad Russian of the Cubs,
could only have approached his mi
nor league average under the Big
Tent.
There has always been a need In
baseball for another Rube Waddell,
another Bugs Raymond or another
Dizzy Dean. They had more than
their share of color. But they had
something more than color—they
were also great ballplayers.
Lou Novikoff has carried around
a gob of color but he has to prove
he was a great
ballplayer. His
average in Los
Angeles and Mil
waukee, both in
strong leagues,
has been over
.370 at bat. With
Los Angeles in
1941 he batted
.363 and ham
mered out 41
home runs. He
was known on the
West coast at the time as the bat
ter who could hit anything any pitch
er could throw. But his record with
the Cubs has been entirely different.
If Novikoff had kept up his minor
league hitting, he might have picked
up where Dizzy Dean left off in the
headline class. But color doesn’t
carry far when it is minus real abil
ity or high class skill.
Novikoff on the West coast looked
to be as good a hitter as Ted Wil
liams who came along to bat over
.400 with the Red Sox. But he was
no Ted Williams in the major show.
Novikoff’s average with Los Angeles
was over 90 points above the Wil
liams average with San Diego.
These figures were reversed when
the two headed, east for Chicago and
Boston.
These are conditions that are hard
to explain. Novikoff won’t be 29
until December and it may be that
Charlie Grimm can wipe away the
dust from his big league batting eye.

SEVEN-COME-ELEVEN
Maybe war leaders are supersti
tious or maybe there is something
to the old seven-come-eleven sys
tem for shaking the dice. Anyway,
Stanley Arnold of Cleveland has
worked out a calendar of the war
showing that every significant event
has happened on either the seventh
or eleventh of the month. Here is
the calendar:
Pearl Harbor Dee. 1, 1941
Declaration of war on
Germany and Italy...Dee. 11,1941
Fall of Guam Dee. 11, 1941
Fall of Wake Doe. 11, 1941

Retaldns of Tonis and

Finally Mr. Arnold points out that
the recent renewed attack on Italy
started May 11 at 11 p. m.

BREWSTER AXED
The navy has decided that the
Controversial Brewster Aeronautical
corporation will be the first to feel
the axe of discontinued war produc
tion.
This is good news for the
country in that it means that
war losses of airplanes are less
than expected and that the navy
will not need so many replace
ments. Actually our losses In
the Pacific have been about 50
per cent less than estimated.
Also, the news is extremely
significant for the airplane in
dustry, because Brewster will
be the first big plane company
to be turned loose on its own to
manufacture commercial planes
—if it can get priorities. If it
can’t get them, it will have to
fold.
The Chance Vought company, also
making Corsairs (the same type of
plane as Brewster), will continue
operation, largely because they
were the chief pioneers of Corsairs.
Also, the Goodyear company will
continue, they being about to start
on a big new navy plane.
But the Brewster company will
now have to fight either for new
war contracts or else for priorities
for commercial planes. It will be
an uphill fight.
NOTE—The Brewster plant near
Philadelphia, built with U. S. gov
ernment funds, will be taken over
by the navy and will work on “mod
ification”—in other words, planes
that need minor changes. The oth
er Brewster plants around New
York will finish up what they are
working on and then fold.

MERRY-GO-ROUND
c Mrs. Harold Burton, wife of the
Ohio senator, complained that her
husband’s inside coat pocket bulged
out with too many papers. So Bur
ton now has his tailor put an inside
pocket on both sides, to distribute
the burden.
C. It never leaked out at the time
but, on December 7, 1943, the army
was worried over a possible token
attack on Pearl Harbor as an anni
versary raid. The whole island was
alerted for fear the Japs would re
neat their original performance.
Baseball can use more color than
it has known since Dizzy Dean re
tired to tell St. Louis radio listeners
that someone “slod into third base.”
It could use another Rube Wad
dell, who split his spring and sum
mer days three ways—pitching,
tending bar and going fishing. But
it should be remembered that Dizzy
Dean and Rube Waddell were
among the great pitchers of all time.
It wasn’t color alone that made
them famous.
No one could have given out more
color than Babe Ruth. Ping Bodie
was never a great ball player, but
he was good enough. He was an
other remembered character. There
was the time he bought a parrot and
taught the bird to keep repeating—
"Ping made good.”
Bugs Raymond was a star pitch
er, but Bugs also gave you some
thing to write about and talk about
oh the side. There was the time
when Bugs was pitching for Shreve
port. He made a bet that he could
eat a whole turkey, drink two quarts
of scotch and win a double-header.
He won his bet, tradition says.
1 first ran into Bugs the day he
landed in Atlanta. He was to pitch
against the world champion Boston
Red Sox that afternoon, back in
1904. Bugs took three big hookers
of scotch and walked to the park,
throwing rocks at telephone poles
en route. All he did was to shut
out the world’s champions, 2 to 0.
I would like to see a team that
was composed of Babe Ruth, Rube
Waddell, Dizzy Dean, Bugs Ray
mond, Larry McLean, Tacks Par
rott, Arlie Latham, Germany Schae
fer, A1 Schacht, Crazy Schmidt,
Rabbit Maranville and one or two
more. I wouldn’t, however, want to
be the manager.
Strictly Business
On the other hand, two of the
greatest ball clubs I ever saw were
never noted for color. One was the
Connie Mack’s Athletic line-up from
1910 through 1914, winners of four
pennants in five years. The other
was the Yankees after Babe Ruth
left, a crushing outfit, season after
season.
These two squads were composed
of fine ball players who were rarely
on the prankish or the lighter side ol
life—Eddie Collins, Eddie Plank,
Stuffy Mclnnis, Jack Barry, Home-
run Baker, Jack Coombs, Chief Ben
der, to whom baseball was strictly
a business matter. The same went
for Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon, Lou
Gehrig, Charlie Keller, Spud Chan
dler, Joe DiMaggio and others whe
might have made up a session ol
bank vice presidents.
BasebalVs Bigger Shots
Who is the best trap-and-field shot
among big league ballplayers? My
vote has always been for Bill Dickey
in the field end of this sport. Ernesl
Hemingway, the writer, casts his
vote for Curt Davis, the Dodger
pitcher.
“Curt Davis,” Hemingway says,
"is one of the best trap-and-field
shots, I ever saw. Hugh Casey is
another fine shot. So are Arky
Vaughan and Bill Dickey.” Quick
eye and muscle response are needed
both in ballplaying and shooting.
A New York man left a will leav
ing all his money, about $5,000, to
the three members of the firm for
which he had worked for 22 years “in
grateful remembrance of the treat
ment accorded me as an employee.”
In these days when the boss is so
widely denounced as a “Simon
Legree, an exploiter of his workers,
etc., this becomes almost the NEWS
ITEM OF THE GENERATION.
q
Employers as a whole would forgo
gladly the money If now and then
they could get a similar expression
of kind regard. Never have they
needed anything more.
*
Can you fancy what a will of the
following type might do for their
morale? - ■
I, Jarvis P. Withers, being of
sound mind, do hereby declare this
my last will and testament:
1. To the firm of Jones, Brown &
Smith, by which I have been em
ployed for many years, I give and
bequeath a framed testimonial in
which I declare that, while we had
our disagreements and run-ins, I
never once had the feeling that I
was EXPLOITED; and in which I
further testify that I at no time found
them to be brutal, ruthless, money-
mad hounds of hell, imps of Satan
or all-around polecats.
2. To Hilary Jones, senior partner,
I give and bequeath the sum of
$1,000. 1 figure I loafed enough on
his time over the years to have cost
him much more money. The days
I got in late, left early and soldiered
on the job must have meant quite
a loss to the firm over the years.
Mr. Jones was a little aloof, rather
strict and wanted his money’s worth,
but after all he was not a bad egg.
3. To Prentice Brown I give and
bequeath the sum of $800. I never
got to know Prentice very well.
(He never got to know me very
well, either. Looking back, it was
rather a nice arrangement, and did
not prove there was anything hell
ishly wrong about either of us).
Although Prentice was reputed to
be of extreme dignity and quite a
sourpuss, I once entered his office
when he had announced he was in
conference. I found him playing the
harmonica tn his shirtsleeves. I
always liked him for it. Then there
was the time we both got into the
elevator an hour late for work and
he didn’t look at his watch.'
4. To Chidsey Smith I give and
.bequeath $400. He never said a word
the time we caught each other at a
midweek baseball game when both
were supposed to be sick. I recall
many occasions when he might have
fired me and didn’t.
5. I order and instruct my ex
ecutors to state to Messrs. Jones,
Brown & Smith that it is not my
conclusion that all employers are
necessarily inconsiderate, money-
pinching Simon Legrees. All my ex
perience with them leads me to a
conviction that they are at times
human beings. The rumor that Jones
has a cloven hoof is false. I once
saw him with his shoes off. There
has never been anything about
Brown’s manner to indicate he has
a forked tail and spit liquid flames.
I do not believe that Smith walks
through fire as a hobby. It is my
belief that the firm is not possessed
of devils.
Signed,
Jarvis Withers.

go no further, my good woman!
