Those squads, I grant you, are
neither fish nor fowl, herring nor
turkey, being only partly all-star and
only partly what the managers will
want doing business for them.
Arkie Vaughan is the one athlete
on the joint list who plays out of po-
sition. There is mighty dearth of
good third basemen in the National
League, and I think that William
Terry, coming to choose between Bar
tell and Vaughan at shortstop, will
decide TO use both-his own man, the
abler fielder, at short; Vaughan, whose
power can i'll be spared, at third.
Too sIany First Sackers.
THE American Leaguers used to do
pretty much the same thing in
order to have Gehrig and Foxx in the
lineup at the same time, Foxx moving
across to third.
And speaking of the American
League, Mr.. Mccarthy has got an
embarrassment of wealth around that
first base. How are you going to
pick between Gehrig and Greenberg
when they are smashing the ball neck
and neck? You could divide the as
signment between them, but I don't
know if Mr. Mccarthy wants to do
that. Gehrig is probably the more
valuable player, but it would be very
tough on Hankus to be left out, the
way he is banging the ball this year
And what are you going to do with
Foxx? Put him at third again, over
Cliff, who is better fielder and hit
ting $50?
Also, I can hear peevish voices
asking about Moses, West, Bonura,
Dietrich and Lee. Since Mr.. Terry and
Mr.. Mccarthy have been stuck with
this thing, I guess will let them
manage it.

LaSt-Minute Deals.

7 INWORRIED by the fact that

Yankees and Giants. were ready today
for another invasion by their Western
rivals
The mauling, but somewhat less

Cleveland in the first of l3 games in
the Bronx, while the punchless, puz-
zling, but winning Giants made Pitts
bupsh their first port Of call on a l2-
game swing through the West.
Only one possible deal was in sight
and that lacked official confirmation
The Giants, needing punch particu-
larry at Manager Bill Terry's old job,
first base, were reported to be angling
for Dolph Camilli of the Pnillies. The
rumor, which officials didn't confirm,
said Terry was offering Johnny Nc
Carthy, his expensive young first
baseman, and Catcher Harry Danning
for Camilli and Bill Atwood, another
spare backstop.

were not artistic. They didn't

I agree with the great crusader, if
that will make him any happier. The
customer likes to have hand in
picking 'em. And the truth of the
matter is that, after the squad is
picked, the manager puts pretty much
what team he likes on the field any

THERE is only one solid reason for
this move Some of the all-star
teams of the past have been a trife
star-heavy-too many big shots on
the team, not enough cohesion. It's
true that smart manager, given full
control of personnel, could put to-
gether a snugger, tighter ball club
than the fans could muster by the
ballot system. If the chief end of
the all-star carnival was to win the
game, then the manager system would
be aces with Gomez and me.
But it isn't. The real charm of the
all-star thing, I think. is its dream
come true quality. For years and
years the fans have wondered what
it would be like to see the greatest
men in base ball all gathered in one
pasture-the greatest outfielders in
the league, the greatest first basemen
the greatest catchers, the greatest
pitchers. The all-star game, in its
early stages, brought that dream home
to them.
They did the picking themselves.
1t gave them feeling of pleasure
and power. Then they watched the
results Of their handiwork-Ot Med

 Long Period in
 Forest Service
Once Almost Fired by Gif. ford Pinchot, Forester
 Completes B Years

Thirty-two years ago this morn Ing turned out to be a momentous occasion in the life of Wellman Hol- brook, Assistant Regional Forester and well known Alaskan.
 II was on this day 32 years ago that Holbrook, an ambitious young ster, started out from Niehart in ce.. ral Montana with two pack horses on his first job with the U. S. Forest Service. His salary on that day was $60 per month out of which Ee fed himself and supplied and look care of his own horses. His Job was temporary assistant to the forest ranger in that district.
 He had quit job in the Great Falls postoffice at $50 a month to take his first step toward rising to be one of the first flight men in the U. s. Forest Service. Recalling that step, the genial official re- members that in addition 10 supply ing his own horses and feeding them, he even had to furnish his own axe. And the job was tempor- ary. It came nearly being even less than that when his summer in the field was over.
 Among the officials priaed pos sessions is a letter signed by the famed Clifford PinGlot, then U. S.. Foresters which he received at the end of that first summers work Holbrook had been checking logs off the forest area. MT. Pinchot's letter pointed out in a few brief sentences that it had come to his attention that one temporary as sistant to the Ranger, Holbrook, at Niehart, Montana, had let some logs pass which were found to be un- marked. Reoccurrence of such a thing, MT. Pinchot wrote, in his now historic letter, would lead to the instant dismissal of one Wellman Holbrook.
 Best evidence that no further unmarked logs passed the eagle eye of the budding young forester is lhat today, g years later, he occu- pics one of the highest positions of trust in the U. S. Forest Service.
 But I was plenty worried about logs about then,' reminisced the of ficial
 In his long service with the For est Service. MT. Holbrook has been stationed in Montana. later in Port land and since 1921 in Alaska. Prior to coming here permanently. he spent the summers in Alaska for several seasons. While past the re- tirement period of 30 years. MT. Hol- brook, still a comparatively youns man, has years to go before being subject to age retirement.
