Tiny Jim Chaplin. one of the ace
moundsmen of the San Diego Padre
staff. arrived in town this week,
started his daily workouts and made
these observations:
Mickey Haslin will help the ball
club at bat. He is a good hitter
and will knock in a few runs so
badly needed by the Padres last
season.
Joe Berkowitz is the most under
rated player in the Pacific Coast
league. He is, in Chaplin's estima-
ton, the best infielder in the league
BerkowitZ makes sensational
catches look easy. Chaplin observed.
know because a pitcher can tell
Just how fast an infielder really is
on those hard hit balls. Joe is in
front of many ground balls to make
the catch when other infielders
wouldn't even reach the spot for
the play.
Howard Craghead, Chaplin said,
is one of the Coast leagues great
est pitchers. He has stuff, control
and speed. Add that to complete
knowledge of coast league batters
and you have the reasons for How
ards success.

Cubs oGo After
Exfra.Base Hits

LOS ANGELES, March %. CUP)
The Chicago Cubs will adopt the
tactics of the New York Yankees
this season in the hope that the
new and comparatively simple
strategy will function as smoothly
and devastatingly in the National
league as it has for years in the
American.
There will be just one trick in
the bag. Gabby Hartnett, begin
ming his first full year as manager
says his league champions will.:go
after the extra base hits and let
the defense take care of Itself. That
was the motive behind the six-man
deal the Cubs made with the New
York Giants this winter, and
Hartnett believes it will work.

a throwing arm that was equal to
any major league ball player who
ever lived
Fred Berger will hit in the regu-
lar season. He mas always hit close
to the 300 mark and gets more than
share Of extra base hits.
He is one of the many veterans
who does not hit in spring practice
I remember. Chaplin said when
Rupert Thompson only got one hit
in the entire spring season, then
hit eight straight times when the
season opened.
Yep. Berger will be there when

Propaganda =?

We hear so much about propaganda,
but the average reader or listener to
material under that classification has
a difficult time to recognize it. Web
Ster's dictionary states that propa-
ganda is a concerted effort to set
forth a particular doctrine. Well, of
recent weeks, it appears that we have
been reading in almost every news
paper the real thing-the capture
of the City of Flint by the Germans.
Congressman Melvin Mas eX-
ploded a bombShell when he made
the statement recently that it is I'M
fortunate that so much publicity has
been given to the capture of the
City of Flint, when up to November
2, IS American vessels had been
seized by Great Britain and of that
number % were still held Congress-
man Mas said that he gained his
information from the State Depart
men in Washington. 1 wonder if
he couldn't have received it from the
newspapers if the capture had been
made by Germany instead of Great
Britain.
Now we don't know why the infor-
nation was not published about the
70 ships when the one received so
much publicity, but nevertheless if
our people had flared up and de-
manded retribution from Germany
that flareup could certainly have
been charged to propaganda, which
hid much worse trampling on our
toes from view.
We should always be on our guard
against propaganda, but it will be
difficult to really distinguish it.
