what he did. Lefty is a money
pitcher. Remember him In the

to warrant a belief that he'll win
more games than Allen viii for

Johnny Broaca won Is games

CLUBS. 1nSy 70, aAI OuU w D00U
In Detroit they have already
conceded another pennant to the
Tigers. Boston thinks the Red
Sox can't miss. In Cleveland
they're all heated up about the
Indians. They're all good teams
with good managers.
But let me say this: the club
that beats the Yank ,es will win.
That's not a new expression.
Cronin is using it and so is Coch-
rane. I am not in the habit Of
claiming pennants in the spring.
I know many unforeseen things
can happen. They happened 10
us last year when CroSetti was
hurt, Gomez had q poor season,
Gehrig didn't hit until midseasOn
and Dicky's old punch was
missed in the lower end OF our
batting order.
r. Tigers Lucky
It can happen again. but 1t
can also happen to other clubs.
Don't forget the Tigers have
won twice by going through two
seasons without bad breaks. The
Red Sox have added power, but
I still doubt whether they Will
have the pitching. That's one
thing the Yankees will have.
Let's go back over last season.
The Yankees broke even with
Detroit, but they didn't beat the
second division clubs as consist
emily. You viii find the Tigers
won by beating st. Louis ana
Cleveland. We didn't do so well
against those clubs. But who is
going to say it will be the same
this season?
The Yankees won a pennant one
wear by beating the Browns Il
games out Of az. Just remember
this: The Tigers did not prove
themselves a better club than the
Yankees last year when they were
batting each other. ......
; mi admit we are starting under
q handicap Il Chapman hao
ioined us earlier and DiMaggio had
not been hurt would have had
my outfield set by this time. !
don't think there is any DOUBT
about DiMaggio. Hitting in spring
practice and In the five exhibition
games he played he looked Ike a
great young bali player.
DiMaggiO Landed
I had hoped to start him In left
field. He has never played that
position, but he told me he wasn't
afraid Of IL. We play half our
games at the Yankee Stadium and
there we need fast defensive men
ia left and center fields. DiMag.
gio showed me enough to prove
he could play either field. The
only experience he needs is IN
throwing from Q new angle. It's
too bad he didn't get II IN the
South, but ! believe he VIII catch
on quickly. He can cover ground
Here's another thing about Di-
Maggie. I believe he will furnish
the extra kick we need, not only
IN his own work but In setting q
pace for the other fellows. You
put a youngster on a club who can
60 places and do things and you
can see the other fellows follow
ing the pace. They don't want
any young fellow to show them up
I've noticed it already in Geh'
rigs work. Lou isn't going to play
second fiddle if he can help it.
He has been in there hustling this
spring and hitting better than he
usually does at this time Of the
year. He's always conscientious
worker. Watch him get off on the
right-foot this year.
You can't relegate any club to
fourth place that has such hitterS
as Gehrig, Dickey and DiMaggio.
Rolfe is still improving. Not much
has been said about Roy johnson,
but here is an outfielder who Is q
consistent 800 and better hitter.
Furthermore he has always hit ex.

Group Insurance Plays Important Role
In Growing Social Security Demand

the lower los ding expenses, lower COM
missions and elimination of medical
costs for examination Moreover, be-
cause the members of the group are
of an average age. and are replaced
each year on an average, by younger
people, the mortality cost is low.
Industrial insurance, on the other
hand, is insurance for small sums with
weekly premiums. the amount of in
surance depending on the age of the
individual taking out the policy Nat
urally, the cost of this insurance Is
higher than the ordinary and consider.
ably higher than group insurance.
The demand for group insurance in
its various forms, We are reminded,
originally came chiefly from employers
who desired to provide life insurance
for all their workers. 1t also involved
desire to get rid of the necessity for
medical examinations.
Various precautions. in addition 10
the usual inspection of plants, Is
made by companies insuring on the
group plan. Indeed. many factors
have to be taken into consideration
and weigh more than in the case Of
the insurance Of individuals, such as
sex, nationality. wage scales, sobriety
and good conduct generally, and re-
quirements for employment.
Points Considered.
The companies are particularly In.
terested in knowing whether SUM-
cient protection against trade dis
eases. so called, has been provided
by the employer. Increasing atten-
ton is being given to buildings and
surroundings, with regard to proper
ventilation, pure drinking water, the
necessary equipment and arrange
ments for sanitation and for the
avoidance or lessening of accidents
and what are known as vocational
hazards.
Finally. the Commerce Department
study reminds us. insurance COM
panies are now requiring that a group
be insured on basis which does not
leave the individual the right to de-
termine whether or not he or she will
enter the group. If the employe must
pay for the insurance, unfortunate
selections may take place. Therefore,
group insurance is generally restrict
ed to the insurance of employees of
one employer where the owner him.
