Joe Is Game

That might have discouraged the
average manager, but not Joe Nc
earthly. He sent Malone back for
his sixth start. Pat justified this
confidence by winning that game
and going on to become one of
the most effective pitchers in the
National league. Later when trou-
BILE logged Malone and he was
waived out of the league, Mccarthy,
now manager of the Yankees, signed
him as relief pitcher and he con-
tinued with good results for the
Yanks until the close of last season.
You could cite other examples of
this tenacious Mccarthy faith.
There's the case of Pitcher Lefty
Gomez, who ran into discoura ging
series of defeats and finally worked
his way back into the winners es-
tate. Or you might mention Lou
Gehrig, who was bust in the early
days of this season. Joe didn't give
up on Lou when the fans and critics
were panning him.
And so Joe Di Maggie is the lat
est reward of McCarthy's loyalty.
Joe's troubles this year started with
his holdout demand for 10000, after
brilliant 1887 season. Joe's hold
out was failure and he finally
compromised for $25, 900 a year aft
er missing the training trip entirely.
Obviously out of condition because
Of missing the training trip, he
missed the first ten days of the sea-
son and one of the disciplinary
measures adopted by Col. Jacob
Rupert, owner Of the club, for this
recalcitrant holdOut was to dock Joe
at the rate of $162 for each game he
missed, or a total of $1,62O. Once
Joe got into the lineup, however, he
was careful not to miss another
game. Informed baseball followers
are giving odds that Colonel Rup-
pert will refund Di Maggio's lost
salary when the 1898 season goes
into history.

Joe Gets Going

The going wasn't easy for Joe in
the early stages of the season. The
hits didn't blast into the outfeld as
they had in his two previous years
and a home run was something of
curiosity. But Mccarthy stuck with
him. AS matter of fact he tried to
drop Di Maggie into the lineup as
a pinch-hitter on opening day, but
was overruled by Business Manager
Ed Barrow. That gesture, as well
as McCarthy's serene confidence in
him when Joe apparently couldn't
get going, was a convincing evil
dence that his manager believed the
slump was only temporary. Joe's
performance in the home stretch of
the pennant race proved how right
Mccarthy was.
Finishing his third year in the big
leagues, Joe Di Maggie can rest and
invite his soul. His batting average,
and also his record for runs bat
ted in and runs scored mark him as
one of basebalPs greats.
Those who know this young Italian
say Di Maggie is a misunderstood
player. He has a reputation for
aloofness that borders on the snooty.
This is shyness, say his friends.

American league-are most in need
of .overhauling if they are to be
pennant contenders again next year.
How to do it?
Few managers would be prepared
to take the drastic steps used by
Connie Mack of the Philadelphia
Athletics on two occasions years ago
when he decided his teams had
passed their peak of baseball USE
fitness to him and could still bring
handsome profit. Old-timers will
remember that after the worlds Sc
ries of 1914 which the Athletics lost
to the Boston Braves, Mack disposed
of his 100000 infield" consisting of
Stuffy McInnes, Eddie Collins, Jack
Barry and Frank Baker, as well
as sundry pitchers and outfelders.
He used the same procedure after
the 1881 worlds series.

Softball School

THE axiom that England's battles
of tomorrow are being won today
on the playing fields of Harrow and
Elton might be paraphrased for
baseball as follows: Major league
games of tomorrow are being won
on sOftball fields of today.
For the outstanding baseball finds
of the past several years got their
start playing softball.
Joe Di Maggie was softball play
err before he jumped to baseball and
started toward the hall of fame as
a member of the New York Yam
KEGS. His sensational young team
mate, Tom Heinrich, broke into the
game via the softban diamond. Ken
Keltner who has made a name for
himself this year as third baseman'
for the Cleveland Indians, was a
member of a Milwaukee softball
team that played in the worlds
championship meet two years ago
long before he thought of profession
al baseball as a career.
Baseball men who watched the
worlds championship softball tour
nament in Chicago which drew
teams from Al states of the Union,
agreed that player who can at
tain respectable batting average
against competent moundsmen in
the fast ball pitching events, should
be able to hit baseball without ex-
ceeding difficulty.
The softban pitcher stands only 40
feet away from the batter at home
plate, whereas the baseball pitcher
stands 60 feet away. The ball he
uses is not much larger than reg
ulation baseball-12 inches in cir
conference compared to ga. 1t is
nearly as hard. It comes to the
batter with almost binding speed
when thrown by star softball pitch
er. Camera tests have indicated
that the pitching speed of fast
softball is about the same as that
of a fast baseball. But the soft
ball batter has one-third less dis
lance in which to get ready to swing.
Far from scoffing at softbal as a
sissy game, thoughtful baseball men
frankly agree that it may be effec-
tive in preparing youngster for
baseball later on. Says Joe Cronin,
manager of the Boston Red SOx:

THREAT TO RELIGION

Democracies are threatened by the theory of ABB
solute government abroad in the world, Alfred NJ
Landon told the United Methodist Council In Chi
cago the other day.
More important, he said, religion itself is threat
ened.
"The absolute government that has taken hold
of a number of nations would take away freedom
of worship, freedom of expression and even free
WILL" he warned.
where absolute government would not actually
destroy the church it would undermine the very
foundation of religion.
''Thus Christianity has great stake in the
preservation of democracy. Only by vigorous
and prophetic church may we retain democracy
Mr.. Landon's views are shared by thinking lead
ers the country over.
They constitute as grave and as important
warning as the people of this democratic nation
ever had-Greenville Piedmont
