oodin-Morgenthau Shift
Reveals Presidents Care
TONip RumOrS Over Cause
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
(ny Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90
President Roosevelt obviously
wanted to avoid any misunder-
standing or misinterpretation Of
Secretary William H. Woodin's de-
parture from the treasury on a
leave of absence because of his
health.
For, though there was dramatic
suddenness in the announcement
of Woodin's retirement and of the
transfer of Henry Morgenthau
from the governorship of the farm
credit administration to the treas
ury as its acting head, Secretary
Woodin's resignation did not come
as surprise.
Reports have had him stepping
out as head of the treasury for
various reasons, but each report
has been smilingly denied by the
secretary and dismissed usually as
a joke.
It was perhaps because of the
fact that in some quarters the idea
has spread that Woodin is not in
sympathy with the Presidents
gold policy, that Mr.. Roosevelt
exercised unusual precaution in
announcing the treasury secre-
tary's leave of absence.
Paving The Way
He employed the same method
in announcing the treasury change
that he used when he informed the
press he had invited Russia to
send a representative to Wash
ington to talk over the question
of recognition.
Then he was afraid newspaper
headlines the next morning would
proclaim to the world that ''Roose-
welt Recognizes Russia" when
nothing more had been done at
the time than merely to pave the
way for the two nations to talk
over their difficulties.
3 The Presidents procedure with
the Russian story was to read to
the assembled newspapermen the
complete text of the correspond
ence that had passed between the
White House and the Kremlin.
Copies were available in the lobby
later. This is what happened in
announcing the Woodin leave of
absence.
And, as in the former incident,
there were assurances the CORE
spondence told the whole story
and nothing but the truth.
A Source OF Annoyance
The President has taken no of
fetal cognizance of rumors there
is friction in his administration or
a disagreement on his fiscal
policy. Secretary Woodin has. In
vigorous fashion he has denied
that he was out of step.
1t can hardly be doubted, how
ever, that such rumors not only
annoy the White House but pos
sibly cause the chief executive con-
scern.
This probably explains the
Presidents desire to make it clear
that only for reasons of health
Secretary Woodin was leaving his
post and that he confidently ex-
pected his early return.

Our Pitching Forebears

If you think the Giants have been over r-Working Carl Hubbell, their great southpaw, this spring, take a quick glance at what some of the oldtime pitchers did, 40 and 50 years ago. The death of Tim Keefe, great hurler back in the eighties, recalls the days when two or three regulars was enough pitch ing talent for any first-class team.
 One of Keefe's greatest rivals, "Old Hoss" Radbourne, in 1884, pitched 27 consecutive games for Providence, won 26 of them and clinched the National League pen nant. Then, in the world series with the Metropolitans, Radbourne beat Keefe twice in row and hurled Providence to victory in the third and decisive game.
 In 1888, the year he rang up l9 consecutive victories from the old 5O-foot pitching distance, Keefe pitched and won four games for the original New York Giants from the St. Louis Browns in the cham pionship series.

SPORT SLAMS (A!AA. e10l

No m tier what provocations Buddy Myer and Ben Chapman had for putting the cluo on sacf other at Washington, it does not seem a sound tactical policy tc arouse the World Champion Yan- kees to a lighting pitch.
 AS bah teams go, the Yankees are a good-natured let. They do a lot of kidding and "jockaying," but from Babe Ruth to the lowlie1t bench-warming rookie they rarely exhibit a conbative disposition. It has been a good many years since the Babe displayed pugilistic ten- dencies, and Bill Dickey's outburst at the capital last season was not typical exhibition.
 Their manager, Joe Mccarthy is not the loud or boisterous type and even Art Fletcher, who loved a good scrap in the old days of short stepping for the Giants, has become a peaceful homeloving, character.
 With their fighting blood up, however, the Yankees mauled the Senators with a greater display of baseball brutality than they have shown at any other time this sea- son. Given a sufficient urge, they  have the power to flattan anything the American League can offer by way of opposition and make an- other runaway race. Moreover they have the reserves ready to replace any banished combatants.
 It will be recalled that the sus- pension of Bill Dickey for month in 1882, instead of handicapping the club resulted in the stretching of it's margin over the rest of the league
 This is not to suggest that it would be to the advantage of the Yankees literally to slug it out with their rivals, especially Washington, but it is a fact that the world champions never are more danger ous than when irritated. The Chi cago Cubs will testify to the truth of that statement.

 This game was the best exhibition Of baseball shown so far, this sea- son. Jack Schmitz was in hot water two times but double-play by his mates came to his rescue. And Cur.ey Fraser, besides having a big day with the stick, made beautiful shoestring catch out cf Manning's hard drive to left field, in the third frame. Gee. Allen, the Vets right fielder, also made good catch when. he ran miles to bring down Bill Schmitzs fly in the fifth canto.
