Picks on Pitchers

One of his tricks was to take adj
vantage of the mannerisms of two
pitchers who invariably tipped off
the kind of ball they were prepar-
ing to throw.
''Flint Rehm, the Cardinals big
right handler was one of those
pitchers" Lefty said. ''When he
threw his curve he looked at the
ball as he drew his arms over his
head in the. windup. When he
threw his fast one he didn't look at
the ball.
"Then there was a pitcher named
Watson with Brooklyn who had
habit of sticking his tongue out of
the corner of his mouth when he
threw curve. didn't tell anybody
about those fellows, or the word
would have got around the circuit
and Rehm and Watson would have
covered up their give-away signs"
Larry Woodall, once star catch
er for the Detroit Tigers and now
O'Douls chief aid at San Fran
cisco, is also handy at sign-snatch-
ing. Between them they had lot
of fun last year at the expense of
Catcher Cooper of Sacramento.
They got his signals to the pitchers
regularly and the Seal batters laid
for every pitch. Cooper unwilling
ly held his glove with the fingers
pointing down when curve was be-
ing thrown and gave his target for
a fast one with fingers pointing up.

way as football quarterbacks bark
out directions for the next play.
But they won't work, according to
O'Doul, who cited Bucky Harris
experiment as an example.
Harris tried verbal signals for
a while when he was managing the
Washington Senators a few years
ago." Lefty recalled, "but he gave

Only Fred Perry, now a leading

all four of these titles in a single

The betting is brisk that Bulge
will equal Perry's score by breezing
through the French tournament. He
still has some distance to 60, how
ever, before he equals Perry's trav-

maintains he has covered more

through South America and Africa

Now it has caught up with him, as
it did with Stravinsky and Richard
Strauss. Both the 'Fire Bird" and
"Salome" were met with cat-calls
when they were first produced.

ervating influence" in Malipiero's
new symphony. 1t may be an after
thought, but the explanation seems
clear as I recall my conversation
with him. His face saddened and
he seemed ten years older when ]
mentioned the war.
For his ballet, "Pantea," he
had written of "the struggle of
a soul hurting itself into the
struggle for liberty, only to find
oblivion and DEATH" The war
had been to him a tragic and
devastating experience. He said
it had profoundly shaken both
his art and his life.
Never again would the suave flu
encies or banalities of music have
meaning for him. He was impelled
to deeper search.
This establishment was subli-
mated in irony. He was suspected
of slyly sabotaging

truth is forever elusive and supreme
power dead sea fruit. That, of
course, is dangerous doctrine in

day, II Duce forbade another pre-

Malipiero is poet and a mys-
tic. Of dominant presence, with
sharply cut Roman features and
hair brushed back in thick
pompadour, he is at the same
time extraordinarily gracious,
friendly and unassuming.
He lives in a quaint stone villa,
forty or fifty miles from Venice,
centuries old, rambling and tumble

Northern Republicans have be-

They believe it's good election
campaign material, in view of the
southwark migration of factories
to take advantage of cheaper labor,
and that it will help them attract
labor support which has been

Conversely, the Norton bill is
anathema to southern Democrats
in Congress who insist there
must be room for differentials if
there is to be a wage-hom law.
But it was the opposition of the
vast bulk of southern Democratic
congressman which last December
killed bill which carried provi-
sions for discretionary exceptions.
The bill passed by the Senate
last year calls for a five-man
board on which the south would
be represented and which would
be empowered to set differentials
