Dairy Farming, Not Base Ball,
Is Walter J01,ns0n's ambition

Right now he has only go head of
cattle, but he plans to increase his
herd and hopes to be selling milk"
next year.
He's building slowly with the idea
of having his dairy paying PROPOSE
ton three years hence when his 13-
year-old son, Eddie, is graduated
from the University Of Maryland.
Then he's going to turn the farm
over to Eddie and be a hired man"
himself.
I'm happy out here" Walter says.
II was raised on a farm and never
have gotten the dirt out Of my shoes.
! guess I'll always be country boy"
In addition to his cattle. Walter
has many horses, including some
thoroughbred racing animals. He has
about a dozen dogs, some excellent
fox hounds and some valuable Irish
terriers. Ducks and chickens. tur-
KEYS. pheasants and peacocks roam
over the land around his barns. Some
OF his chickens are poultry show
winners and several of his dogs have
won bench prizes.
Walter feels there is freedom ir
this life where he can stomp along
over his broad acres, in overalls, jacket
and knee length boots.
There still is slight possibility
Walter may return to base ball. He
has one offer and may get another.
A group of Atlantic City business
men have approached him with q
proposition calling for him to teach
q base ball school and manage a team
playing night games this Summer.
And Alva Bradley, president OF the
Cleveland team Walter left last Sum-
mer, has advised him he will visit
him shortly to talk base ball" There
may be something in that talk, fol
months ago Bradley said he wanted
to find an INSIDE" job for johnson
at Cleveland.
The idea of managing a club agair
doesn't appeal to Walter.
Il might be interested If I coult
manage as we'll as become part owner
of a major or minor league club,
he said, "but as for just managing
I wouldn't want It,"
Although this is the first time ir
more than two decades that he hasn't
been heading for a training camp al
this time of year, Walter says hi
doesn't feel lonesome for the old bast
ball routine.
Maybe I'll want to get out there
when the season starts, but the thought
of not being In base ball hasn't
bothered me yet"

Three DISTINCTIONS Saas5 zntep;nsae sepnrsts
~ from the rest of the rookie
crop of would-be Nationals in this

First and most important is the
opinion that Manager Bucky Harris
holds of Reds ability. Bucky doesn't
think he's ready to pitch big league,
but he does consider Hutchinson a
prospect we'll worth farming out" and
that is better break than most Of
the recruits will receive.
The second distinction is the drawl
of this 22-year-old semi-pro from
Knoxville, Tenn. The older Nationals
in camp eagerly are awaiting the
arrival of Sam Holbrook, so that he
may be pitted against Hutchinson
in a match for the drawing cham
pionship of the Washington club.
Hutchinson already has been made q
7-to-5 favorite over Holbrook.

TugweII Was Last
Of Famed brain Trust"

With Professor TugWel now
leaving the Government to go into
the molasses and rum business,
there is scarcely a trace of the
original Brain Trust, whose trium-
virate was A. A. Behrle, Prof. Ray
Moley and Professor TugWell.
The Brain Trust was a campaign
baby; it had originally been COM
posed of economists from various
universities who planned a perfect
United States of America and who
fed their ideas into the PRACTICAL
campaign machinery of the Dem
ocratic National Committee which
used these plans as New Deal Tor
mulae for Utopia.
When the Roosevelt adminlstra-
ton came to Washington, the
Brain Trusters occupied a front
row, and were rather proud OF it.
The trouble which they caused for
the President grew out of the fact
that they did not know how to
treat the public and the press
especially the preSs-in that conf
Dental and chummy manner
which eventually causes politicians
to win out over the SmarteSt
Brain Trusters.
Professor Moley was a ConSpicu-
Gus Brain Truster running the
Government from his post as AS
sistant Secretary of State; but he
found his style complete Y
cramped by the old-faShioned dem.
ocratic politician at the head OF
that Department - Secretary of
State Cordell Hull. Professor
Moley is now running a magazine.
1t has long been known to in
siders that Prof. TugWell was
just as much of a hindrance as
he was a help to President Roose-
welt. He certainly was not any
help to the Administration dur
ing the campaign and it was only
by dint of very plain talking-to
that Prof. Tugwell was kept quiet
during the campaign. Prof. Tug
we'll refused up to the last
moment to let the White House
know what he was going to say.
Eventually, it is noticed, he had
nothing at all to say.
On the other hand, the Presi'
dent has apparently given a
great deal of attention to Prof
Tugwell's resettlement views and
plans.
