Duke Is Eliminated As Envoy To U. S.

LONDON, Dec. - A source close to the British government said that discussions of a success sor to the late Ambassador Lord Lothian at Washington revolved around present and former mem bers of the cabinet rather than career diplomats.
 The British source said that what he termed modern states man probably would be chosen and indicated that the choice was narrowing. He said the man to be picked would have ministerial experience and full knowledge of the war from it's beginning infer ing that it might be some present member of the government.
 War Secretary Anthony Eden and even Foreign Secretary Wis count Halifax himself have been mentioned in speculation along similar lines. The reports would appear definitely to eliminate the Duke of Windsor as a possibility, as has been rumored.

It's Risky Business
The air is full of baseballs You
fight an urge to raise your arms
and protect your face. You're
keeping close watch on the ball
of pepper game nearby when
whiz!-a high peg that sailed over
the catcher's reach sizzles past
your head
You wonder how the players
keep from getting hit. They must
have eyes in the back of their
heads. Someone yells heads up
and those in the danger zone
seem to know instinctively whether
the ball is coming their way. 1t
seems a strange business that val
liable players risk such constant
danger.
Few get hit, but some do. A
year or SO ago Warren Giles, the
business manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds, suffered a brain con-
cussion when a foul tip from a
hitters bat struck him.
Off in the corner of the out

and shake the sawdust out Of
their eyes like a pole-vaulter who
has fallen from the high bar.

Sometimes the manager asks a

these tossers the once over Then
there's hitting practice and the
head man takes a look at the
