lowed Woodlawn Vase, a tall and
stately piece of silver bric-a-brac,
which is on display today in the
parlor of the rambling old yellow
frame clubhouse, which was the
private home of some revered old
Maryland family back yonder in
Colonial days.
Such a silver trophy you never
saw before in all your born days.
It is carved from base to peak
with horses and angels, the latter
with wings extended, denoting
flight.
It is inscribed from hell to
breakfast with the names Of
thoroughbreds which have run
successfully for it since 1860.
Not that the Preakness is that
old race, for it didn't start in
its present form until 1873, but
that the gorgeous specimen Of the
Silversmith's art was originally
made in 1860 for Colonel R. A..
Alexander, Kentucky gentleman
and horse fancier of parts.
Down yonder in the bluegrass
country for years it held forth
in the nature of a challenge cup
and was contested for annually
until the outbreak of the Civil
War, when it was buried, with the
remainder of the family plate, at
the Kentucky homestead Of Col
onel Alexander. Woodlawn.
So one is naturally impressed
here today in the moments lead
ing up to another PreaknesS with
the beautiful dignity of the Wood
lawn Vase as it reposes on
white marble mantle.
One is impressed, too, with the
reverence and awe it inspires

OUTSTANDING
Receivers
AreFe\WI
BY FRANK BUCK" ONEmL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONE1LL
The baseball catcher Is the
vanishing American.
Opportunity is roaming the
land paging all maskmen. No
highway is too long, no byway Is
too narrow to feel Opportunities
footStep nor hear its call. The
search seems futile. There are
few, If any catchers, in the
minors of sufficient quality to
warrant major league trial. In
practically every league Oppor-
tunity finds that the best Of the
receiving corps are men worn in
major league service; men who
have had their day in the sun
and who passed back over the
slope to the minors.
Two of the leagues first string
receivers this year the men
breaking back into the big time
at an age, as we reckon years in
baseball, when they should be
considering retirement from the
dust and welter Of the game.
Earl Brucker, at 81, is back
with the Athletics after bouncing
around the minors since the Yam
KEGS gave him a trial in an al.
most forgotten year. Johnny Rid
die, currently the first string
catcher of the. Griffs, spent nine
years with the Indianapolis Club
before Washington obtained him
in trade for Frank Hogan.
Five Star Catchers
Five of the remaining teams
have outstanding catchers on
their first line. The champion
Yankees have Bill Dickey, as great
as he is brittle; Detroit boasts one
of the leaders Of baseball in all
time in Mickey Cochrane; st.
Louis has Rollie HemSley, erratic
but clever and the White Sox have
Luke Sewell, whom Washington
fans failed to appreciate until he
was traded. Boston has Rick Fer
rell. Frankie Pytlak Of the In.
dams is a good catcher, even II
he misses greatness by nod. The
same is true Of Billy Sullivan.
Behind Terrell. the Red Sox
have Moe Berg and Gene Desau'
tells. Neither is a first string man
as Of today, although both are
seasoned catcherS. Mervin Shea
is underStudy to Luke Sewell, and
the designation aptly describes
him. Lack Of rugged defense Of
the plate might be said to be
Shea's greatest weakness.
Ray Hayworth and George Teb-
bets are in support Of Mickey
Cochrane. The former, q well
experienced receiver, has been
around for years. Tebbetts is q
rookie. So it goes through the
league, including such a fine re-
ceiver as Arndt Jorgens Of the
Yankees. There is the top man,
and then a wide gap.
Minors No Help
The minor leagues hold little
hope for the impoverished catch
ing supply. One hard bitten minor
league SCOuO W W4AVAA VIC VeSAASN
in Chicago said:
81 know three catcherS, and
IL they was one they'd make o
catcher"
It was pointed out that the best
catchers in the international
League were all former major
league players. In the list were
Bob OFarrell, veteran of the Car
dinals, Cubs and Giants; Pete
Florence, another erStwhile Giant;
Buck Grouse, once with the White
Sox and others; Ed Phillips, who
has been here and there. They've
seen their best as ball players, yet
they are the best in their field.
What is true of the Interna-
tional League also is true Of the
Pacific Coast League. The West
ern slope produces outfielders by
the gross, infielderS in car load
lots and some right good pitchers.

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 81. (UP)-
The United States is trying to
walk a middle road-the path of
"enlightened nationalism" - be-
tween isolation and ENHANCEMENT
in the affairs Of other nations,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
said last night in a speech at the
national commanders dinner of
the American Legion convention.
The dinner was the outstanding
event of the first days session of
the Legion's 10Th annual conven-
ton. Three hundred thousand
persons (some estimates went as
high as 500,000) were in town for
the convention.
Calling peace the goal" of the
United States, Hull nevertheless
warned that foreign-born sections
of the American population
should never subordinate the well
fare of the United States to that
of "some other country"
He did not mention specifically
recent controversy over Nazi
camps"
IF ever our population of for
eign birth should put America
second" he said, eff ever il
should subordinate American in
terests to the interests of some
other country by accepting direc-
tons given by governments or pc.
litical parties abroad, then indeed
a situation would arise that would
fill us with foreboding."
Preservation of democracy was
a note that ran through the en-
tire days proceedings of the Lee
gion.
Hull outlined to the Legion
naires the plan by which he be-
lieved America could help foster
world peace.
81 believe we can do more than
in any other way" he said, "by
avoiding the two extremes of pol
icy. One extreme would be utter
isolation, which would mean clos
ing our eyes to the realities Of
the world today and assuming,
like the courtiers of King Canute,
that the rising tide of interna-
tional anarchy can be stopped be-
