full dOings, the reporter must I'M
dertake to supply the answer him
self.
Undoubtedly Joe Di Maggie, best
rookie of several years, has filled
a dire outfeld need. Tony Laz-
zeri supplies a shrewd steadying
influence. frankie Crosetti, living
up to predictions that once seemed
unlikely to be realized, may really
be the spark plug of the team. Lou
Gehrig's hitting is. But enough
of such things. 1t is senseless to
call the roll while singing out each
player responsible fol the clubs
success.
The point is that the dead-panned
YankS of a year or two ago also
abOunded with single individuals of
far more than average worth. Yet
they ever were failing in the clutch.
Now they are far out in the lead of
the American League parade. The
reason for their success-yOu can
twist it about and also obtain the
disastrous dope concerning the gold
embroidered Red SOx-is that Joe
Mccarthy is not milling along with
a collections of stars. He is head
ing a team.
Being an old Babe Ruth boy, I
rather hate to admit this, but it is
the truth. During his two final sea-
sons with the club, and even last
year when the memory of his
mighty deeds still fingered, there
was tension, divided loyalty in
clubhouse and dugout.
1t was a state of affairs, this con-
filct between manager and a
dominant personality, which nei-
Their the Babe nor Mccarthy could
handle. No doubt both of them sim
cerely deplored it and struggled
for some proper mingling o. team
spirit. But the conflict and the in
evitable destruction of bright
chances existed just as surely as
a similar tug of purposes still ex-
lists among the Red SOx ant at
Ebbets Field.
Now the young men come alive
in the dugout. They round first
base, seeking to give extra value
to the hits as they did in the
palmiest days of Murderer's Row.
Heads which formerly were occu-
pied only with figuring Individual
averages now are bobbed determin-
edly in front of second basemen
seeking to complete double plays.
Even the pitchers. But per-
haps it would be best to stop here
in the midst of undoubted glad
ness.
More than likely the Yankees
would have a similar tidy led if
Ruth now were manager and Nc
Carthy was sitting on his Buffalo
back porch. As one of the most
persistent tOrchlight bearers in the
Bambino procession, 1 think that
they would.
NOT IN THE BOX SCORE
Discovery is the only horse that
has won the Brooklyn handicap
three consecutive years. Phil
Collins, former ST. Louis and Phila-
delphia National league pitcher. is
now pitching semi-pro ball in Chi
cago. Ray w. Hanson, athletic
director at Western State Teachers
college, has been elected president
of the Macomb (Ill.) Rotarians.
Don Weller, former Indiana football
player, now coach at Elkhart (Ind. }
high school, is engaged to marry
Miss Frances Rrindley, former
Indiana coed.

Woes of French Hotels

IF, OVER the woes of the French
L resort hotels, anybody catches
me shedding a tear, it'll come out
of an eyedropper and not from
the heart. I'm thinking particular
ly of the romantic and soulful Riv-
iera, which, under the surface, is
just as romantic as an adding ma
chine and soulful as a cash regis
ter.
There, where E. Phillips Open
helm once delighted to "op" and
the Yankee suckers rushed in,
ready for their skinning-and never
disappointed-is the original home
of the def short-change and the
mastodonic overcharge. There I've
seen many a mistake made in the
bill and never yet one in favor of
the customer.

Taking Political Sides

Taxing fOutlcal SIDES
TODAY some entirely fair-mind
l. ed patriot who is snuggled up
close to the throne or hopes soon to
be, proclaims: "Landon is as syn
thetic as rubber duck. Roosevelt
is the only hope of an imperiled
people. What price a constitution
when we can have frankfurters?"
Tomorrow another gentleman,
who likewise is as unbiased as a
spitefence, bursts forth with some
thing like this:
"Re-elect Roosevelt and your
country forever is wrecked. Lam
don alone can save our threatened
institutions. A real statesman. He
eats in the kitchen and hates to
wear neckties."
Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
mains calm and seemingly conf
dent. Governor Landon remains
calm and seemingly hopeful.

BILE thought sounds, Col. Theodore

Move To Block Pipe Rate Cut
PETITION IS
GOING OUT 70
WASHINGTON

A petition calling upon the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
of which Senator Burton K.
Wheeler is chairman, to block
the proposed reduction Of 71s
cents per barrel in the charges
for piping oil from Cut Bank
to the Canadian border, is being
circulated in Kevin-Sunburst
field and almost universally sign
ed by operators.
The reduced rates are being OPP
posed on the ground that a reduce
tion in the rate will be followed by
another reduction in the price OF
Kevin-Sunburst crude, working a
hardship on producers that is not
justified by general market condi-
fions.
The proposed reduction is to be
placed in effect by Toronto Pipe
line company on July 2, ii its an
nounced plans are approved by the
/. G. G. Toronto Pipeline handles
only oil purchased by its parent
company, British American Oil Co,
which recently cut the price Of
Cut Bank crude Is cents per bar
Fel. Other buyers followed the
British American cut and Kelvin
crude was cut 10 cents, leaving
sellers to International Refining Co.
and Montana Pipeline receiving
$1.15 per barrel and Big West
sellers receiving $1.05 per barrel. |
Cut Bank crude ds selling for $1.35
per barrel against the old price Of
$3.50.
Since the Toronto cut will give
British American a further adj
vantage OF TX cents in the Cana
dian market 1t is expected that the
cut viii compel similar reductions
by International Pipeline in Cut
Bank and this viii perhaps be fol-
lowed by a 71z cent cut by Illinois
Pipe Line, which will doubtless
be taken out Of the producer.
