Tackle Post Is Biggest Task


Jay Turner, who played chiefly at
fullback last year. is being used at
right halfback to make room for Bob
Reeves played three backfleld posi-
tions at various times last Fall, so it's
difficult to pick out one spot and call
it his vacancy.
With joey kaufman, senior who
already has reached wonderful con-
dition and appears headed for a great
season. Turner and Nowaskey are con-
sidered the most likely first-string
prospects.
The fourth backfield assignment,
the all-important quarterbacking job,
held last season by Jenkins, is a battle
between Bruce Mahan and Nick"
Nicksick, sturdy little sophomore.
Mahan is a senior and combines
smartness with experience. Nick prob
ably is the better all-round performer
at this date, though short on seasoning.
An Array of Ends.
A T END, there are five players In
line for Hanken's post, with Pete
Yurwitz, senior, and husky Lloyd
Berry from Owens, Va, heading the
list that includes Bob Faris, Leon Nor
ris and Don Eberle. Berry is fast,
rugged and loves the heavy going.
There are, of course, capable re-
placements for Tippy Holt at end.
John Rebholz at tackle, Izzy Vein
berg and Guy Renzaglia at guards and
Al Harringer at center, who may fight
their way into consideration for the
posts held by these players last year.
But at present all three seem to be
holding their own and probably will
be in the starting lineup when the

n IEW YORK, September 1.-THE
select no-hit, no-run pitching
set is about as exclusive this
year as an East Side tenement
From coast to coast, in organized base
ball it's quite the thing to break into
the diamond hall of fame through
this best-known medium. In fact,
with 81 legitimate no-hitters already
in the books, in addition to several
hard luck guys" who missed it
through some freak or other, finger
is out of style If he hasn't turned the
trick in 1887.
What was once such phenomenon
that the odds were figured at any
where from a thousand-to-on on up,
hasn't been so tough for a lot of the
boys. And the funny part about the
whole business is you never can tell
who's going to do it next. Instead of
the throwers with all the stuff in the
world-the logical choices-its usually
the guys named Joe" who come up
with the no-hitter.
For instance, there were the two
who turned the trick in the ma jor
leagues this season-Bill Dietrich of
the White Sox, against the Browns,
and Fred Farmhouse of Brooklyn
against Cincinnati. Even Connie
Mack, who could use an accredited
ball player any time-things being
what they are with his Athletics
gave up on Dietrich. And Farmhouse
has been strictly an up-and-downer
over his 10 years. in the big show. Yet,
this pair surprised everyone, including
themselves, by joining the elite.

HELPFUL REFLECTIONS
RIGHT FREEMAN, d. ID, L. d, D. c. l.,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

A distinguished old newspaper man,
now in his 80s, recently wrote me
letter in which he gave his reflections
on growing old and his thoughts con-
cerning 1t. He said: "I am in the midst
of old age, but thankful that memory
remains largely unimpaired and that I
can record that this is beautiful world,
filled with people of good repute and
good intentions, tending to prove that
there is guiding and all-benefcent
Providence. This world is largely what
we make of it. The responsibility of
the individual is in his own keeping, and
II he will, even in an imperfect way,
observe the Golden Rule, this world and
its people will take on intimations OF di-
vinity in spite of all his doubts"
Here was highly thoughtful man who
had lived a singularly useful life, with
much of sorrow and disappointment
deserved rewards, who was able to say
with the poet:
Grow old along with me,
The best Is yet to be
The last of life.. for which the first was
made"
There was something invigorating and
refreshing in the thinking Of this old
newspaper man, and as we read his re-
Elections we were cognizant of the cour-
ageous spirit that had marked his course
during the 40 years of our friendship.
He had learned the secret of growing
old without dwelling on the shadows and
tragedies that now and again had OBJ
scured his pathway. One would call
such an example as his, triumphant
living"
What we hold in the reservoir of
memory affects very largely our outlook
and philosophy of life. If it is clogged
with incidents and experiences that are
reminiscent of failures, disappointments,
bitter sorrows and prostrating defects,
it means that the horizons of today and
tomorrow are dark and unpromising.
Some of us have the habit of cherishing
disappointments and lingering unduly

past, to serve the people Of the District
and to protect their interests. As chair
man of the District Committee in the
House she has been brought more closely
into contact with District affairs and
District problems. than most of her coll
leagues. She has been impressed with
the fact that no matter how interested
and sympathetic some of the members
of Congress may be in local affairs, such
sympathy and interest are no effective
substitutes for actual participation in
Congress through chosen representatives
Most of the difficulties between Congress
and the local community are attributable
to this lack of representation.
The gentlewoman from New Jersey
has earned the gratitude of Washing
tonians, not merely through her cham
pionship of the joint resolution. but
because such championship conforms so
closely to the role she is filling as chair
man of the House District Committee.

over mishaps and misfortunes. We re-
member cloudy days and take no reck-
oning OF those that were bright and
sunny. There are some Christians who
seem to think that the correct habit for
a follower Of Christ Is to be somber and
Of sad countenance. This is certainly
at variance with the teachings of the
Master. 1.-THE God of hope fill you with
all Joy and peace in believing" was the
admonition of great exponent of Chris
tian faith and practice. Reverence and
the due recognition of quiet and solemnity
in worship are befitting, but they do not
imply habit of life that is characterized
by a gloomy and forbidding attitude.
Some one has well said that Christian
practice that makes us depressed and
sad is inconsistent with the will and
teaching of Christ. True, He appraised
life's values as no one other than He
has ever done. He saw in life possibilities
that the best of men have rarely attained,
but beyond all else His Interpretation of
life was one that gives to it fuller.
finer and more satisfying meaning. My
old newspaper friend has a philosophy
that Is based upon consistent under
standing and practice of the Masters
mind. To him, looking back upon life
is a happy indulgence. His memory is
to him a veritable treasure house in
which is stored incidents, experiences
and personalities that make the long
years a record upon which he can dwell
with joy and deep satisfaction. He
faces the hidden days ahead with con-
fldence and the assurance that, come
what may. the way before him is in the
hands Of Him who has directed his course
through the long years. He is sustained
by hope that defies fear, as he hastens
on to the latest sunset
What greater compensation is there in
life than serene and tranquil mind, a
mind that holds Steadfastly to the good
In men and things and that lives on in
confidence of better days to come? Such
an one can with confidence affirm: My
mind to me kingdom is"

More ''Insensate Clamor.''

Not so long ago Senator Wheeler of
Montana took q prominent part in re-
vealing the source of some of the oppo-
sitien to his holding company legislation.
The resulting exposure of the stupidity
OF some of the utilities in sending thou
sands of fake kilograms to members of
Congress was almost enough, in itself,
to kill the opposition.
Is Senator Robinson suggesting that
the growing opposition to the Presidents
Supreme Court proposals is, like the
opposition to the holding company leg
islstien. organized by selfish interests?
He told the Senate that there is
strongly organized force seeking to con-
troll every publicity agency in the United
States to cry down this plan for reor-
ganization of the judiciary as something
unfair and subversive." That organ
he'd force" should be exposed! Is Sen
ator Wheeler behind it2 Certainly his
Tad3o speech Of Friday evening was one
Evening star., 1937-02-21

of the most striking indictments Of the
plan to pack the court that has yet
been made.
It was stronger because of its source.
Senator Wheeler may be afflicted with
that vice, consistency, which his col-
league, Senator Ashurst, so gracefully
disclaims. Certainly he has never left
any one In doubt as to where he stands.
In a day when liberalism" was not
nearly so fashionable as 1t is now, Sen
ator Wheeler was an outstanding liberal.
And because many Of the principles
espoused by the administration have
been his principles, Senator Wheeler has
been a source of administration strength
In the Senate.
Yet he opposes the Supreme Court
plan. What does his opposition mean7
Is he q part of Senator Robinson's or
ganized force? Is his one Of those
"unfriendly voices" part Of that lin
sensate clamor" to which the Attorney
General has referred? Is he to be in
cluded among the economic royalists, the
princes of privilege, the tories, or, quot
ing the Attorney General again, one Of
those who wish to preserve the status
quo" by retaining on the bench Judges
who may be relied upon to veto pro-
gressive measures?
1t is dificult to place the Senator from
Montana in the convenient categories
now being manufactured for those who
oppose the court plan. Perhaps Senator
Wheeler must be unwillingly regarded
as one who has the courage of his con-
victions and is no less inclined to fight
for them now than when they happened
to conform to other New Deal standards
