That man, Joe Mccarthy, can
throw more fours than a steam
boat crapshooter with his own
dice. If Joe had ever played
In the big leagues he probably
would have turned cut to be
successful manager. In that
way, Joe could have got all the
dope and developed into a
master mind.
AS it is, all he can do is win.
He's the only man ever to win
three straight championships.
The only one ever to win two
pennants in the National and
American leagues. But be
patient with him, Colonel, he
may pull out of his slump any
season now.
SIMPLE FORMULA
The trouble with Joe is that
he makes winning look so easy.
He just gets together a few
fellows who can throw 'em and
q few fellows who can hit 'em,
and sends them out there pull
ing together as a team. It's as

THE UNKNOWN YANKEE

But I was saying that every
body knows abor' Gordon and
Gehrig, Ruffing and Gomez,
DiMaggio and Crosetti, Rolfe
and Heinrich.
Even in Europe they must
know about 'em. Didn't they
cancel that war when they saw
it was going to have to compete
with the world series.
So I'm going to put together
a team of unknown Yankee
champions, the fellows behind
the players whose names are so
familiar. The men who have dis
covered 'em, guided 'em, taught
'em and paid 'em, the officials
and scouts of the greatest base
ball organization of all time,
now rapidly becoming almost a
diamond dynasty.
If you'll bring along the ball,
bats and mitts, colonel, you can
be the pitcher and captain. If
you get tired after you've pitched
five innings like Ruffing, you
can pitch the last four left
handed, like Gomez. But don't
let it go to your head.

Ed Barrow is our catcher. He
may not be quite as fast as Bill
Dickey, who comes close TO being

However, Ed will be good, solid

DON0H0E MAKES
 1-SKI LANDING
Flying Alaska Attorney Is Not Hurt in First
 Crash of Career
tCordova Times)

A flying attorney returned here on the steamer Yukon from Val dez Saturday night shorn of his wings.
 Tom Donohoe, Cordova's aero nautical Blackstone, had close brush with death Friday on the Valdez air field when his plane cracked up landing on one ski after the other had been torn loose when he took off to return here.
 The flyer miraculously escaped without a scratch, althought his ship, a Fairchild 24, rests at the Valdez hangar with the landing gear completely washed out, one wing tip crumpled up and the steel propeller tied into a pretzel
 Pilot Donohoe didn't realize the bumpy snow had broken his ski until he was in the air and saw it dangling by the safety wire and a wildly gesticulating crowd be- heath him getting the crash wagon and an ambulance ready. After circling the field a few times mak- ing up his mind whether Cordova CT Valdez was to be honored by his first crash landing, Tom de- cided on the latter port and, talk ing another notch in his safety belt and mentally reviewing the les sons of such Alaska flying vet erans as Gillian, Cross and Kirk patrick in like emergencies, he lev eled her off into the wind, cut the ignition and gently nursed the stick back.
 He put the plane on the snow successfully on its one ski and was making a nice landing run until the shock of a heavy drift prov ed too much for the remaining landing gear and it collapsed throwing the ship tail-up Oil its nose and one wing-tip.
 This was Pilot Donohoes first crack-up in several hours of flying He is veteran of Alaska sky trails, having put in more hours in the air than perhaps any other private pilot in the Territory. He uses the plane on numerous trips in connection with an extensive law practice and last year flew it from Los Angeles to Cordova via Canada.
 Pilot Donohoe plans to have his plane back in the air as soon as it is repaired.

MORE THAN HALF SIGNED

MORE THAN HALF SIGNED
 Altogether about 60 per cent of the corn belt farmers signed up to cooperate with the crop control plan. They will be able to "sell'' their corn to the government for 57 cents a bushel while the 40 per cent of non-cooperators, who re- fused to reduce acreage, can get only about 40 cents a bushel.
 Moreover, Joe Doakes and the other cooperators will get ten cents a bushel extra on part of their crop this year as a special premium for cooperating.
 The whole thing doesn't make much of price for corn but the department believes it will persuade more farmers to cooperate in the crop plan next year-if Congress doesn't sack it.
 Of course if the price this year were S1 bushel, Joe Doakes would be the sick farmer The non- cooperators, who planted unlimit- ed acreage, would have huge crops to sell and Doakes, with his small Ter acreage, wouldn't have much.
 Many non-cooperators, it is re- ported back here, now are bitter for two reasons. They are envious of Joe Doakes, and angry at the farmers organizations which per- suaded them not to comply with AAA.
