Yonk Second-Bose Pair
BusebuII's Best Ever
By GRANTLAND RICE,


Joe Gordon and frankie Crosetti
are clicking again-Joe missed some
of the earlier exhibition games be-
cause of kink in his back muscles
which means that from here on
those who see the Yankees play will
see once more the best second-base
combination baseball ever has
known.
The best ever? Well, that's the
verdict of majority of the men
IN the game now who have been
around long enough to have seen
some OF the great pairs of the past.
Get some of them together and pop
the question at them.
There will be votes for Bobby
Lowe and Herman Long of the Bos-
ton club of the late '90s; for Johnny
Evers and Joe Tinker of Chances
immortal Cubs; for Napoleon Lajoie
and Cotton-Top Terry Turner of
Cleveland; for Eddie Collins and
Jack Barry of Connie Mack's S1OO,O

rent rate of exchange: for Collins

Skill, Consistency Make
Yonk Pair Look Best

But when the ballots are counted
the nod will &C to Gordon and
Crosetti on the twin basis of skill
and consistency. The other combi-
nations rolled along from day to
day making hard plays look easy
and, now and then, coming up with
a seemingly impossible play. The
Yankee pair make the seemingly
impossible plays every day-and
make them look easy, too
Sport has known few cases of
such amazing coordination, such
perfect blending of thought and
motion. Each knows what the other
Is going to do in any situation-and
Is in the right spot at just the right
split second to help him do it.
Neither ever has any doubt about
the other, and when one of them
makes a stop that no one else in
the park believed he had even an
outside chance to make, the other
is waiting to take the ball from
him.
And the way they hand the ball
around when double play is in
making is incredible. Now you see
it-and now you don't-and now the
double play is completed.

Mccarthy Waits 5 Years
For Combination

1t took Joe Mccarthy five years
to put together the combination
OF Gordon and Crosetti. The watt
Ing seemed long to him and he
f1dgeted and grumbled sometimes
when he saw double plays missed
or saw the ball trickle through into
the outfield.
But while he waited Crosetti was
maturing as big league ballplayer
and Gordon was coming up through
the minors in 7-league boots-and
when Gordon arrived Crosetti was
ready for him.
Bill Dickey says that the best spot
from which to see Gordon and
Crosetti at work is his spot Just
back of the plate.
THE ball comes up and it is hit
and there doesn't seem q chance
for it to be fielded," Bill says, "and
then see one of those birds come
up with it and flip it to the other
and he f1ips it to Dahlgren-and
another base hit has been turned
Into a double play. You ought to
see how 1t looks from where I am
Well, Of course, I can't do that.

DEMOCRACY CAN'T
CONTROL ALL PRICES

Mr.. Morgenthau thinks the gov
eminent can create all this pur-
chasing power and still pre-
vent initiation by controlling
prices. Mr.. Morgenthau has an
other think" coming. When you
pump water into a dam the water
rises and everything floating on
the surface goes up with the water
! level. You cannot prevent these
things from rising save by controls
which hold each floating thing
down under the water.
1t is so with initiation. Pump
purchasing power into the hands
of the people and they will use 1t.
And when they do prices will 60
up. The government may try to
stop this. But there are too many
prices to be controlled. A few
prices get from under control and
they have an effect on all other
prices.
A ruthless, dictatorial govern
ment can hold prices down after
a fashion, but not completely, But
a democratic government cannot
do it. 1t can accomplish something
when we are at war. But when we
are not at war people will not sub
nit to the controls. The job is
Just too complicated and big.
A large element in Wall Street,
therefore, is betting on this coun-
try getting deeper into the Euro
pean war without an actual dec
laration. 1t is betting that billions
will flow out with speed, that
prices will rise and a marked
though not runaway initiation will
result

IMITATION
A MISUSED WORD

But the market was not pre-
pared for what has happened.
Here it is: III 1917 Congress passed
bill limiting the government to
$45, 900, 100000 debt. That is al
most all used up. So this year
Congress extended that by four
billion. But with strings.
There is about a billion or nearly
billion margin inside the old
debt limit, not yet reached, and
with the new four-billion grant
the government can borrow five
billion inside its present limit. A
grant of another five billion will
about cover the governments needs
for a year. But the treasury asked
20 billion.
Wall Street or at least some
traders Immediately decided that
the government was getting ready
for further war moves on an i'm
mense scale, They could see bill
! lions flowing out into business and
being turned into purchasing power
in the hands of the people. There

was therefore a rush of buyers of
stocks. What these men see in a
probable initiation.
You can get men in Wall Street
to tell you there will be no infla-
ton. But the trouble is that every
body uses the word in different
sense. You cannot pump six or
seven billion of government money
into the blood stream of business
- billions obtained by borrowing
- without producing initiation,
Make it 20 billion and you get more
initiation.
This does not mean initiation In
which the dollar will sink down
to a dime or penny or go TO
grotesque lengths as in Germany
after the last war. Initiation
merely means the creation of ar
tificial purchasing power in addi-
ton to that created by the normal
processes of business.
When governments borrow money
and spend it they tend to initiate.
1t may be a very mild initiation or
it may be very robust initiation
depending on the amount the gov
eminent borrowS.

clared that the government would
boost in the debt limit. That
looked as if the lid were going
to be hoisted and the country
thrown to the bulls. And up went
stocks again as much as 8
points for some. They rose again
on Saturday.
Why the sudden change of sem
timent? There was, indeed, some
thing ominous in that talk about
20 billion.
The defense program is slowly
lifting business activity. From
July l to October l, seven billions
in defense contracts have been APP
proved - though only a part Of
them have been awarded. But
billions will be spent in addition
- for soldiers, environments, on
contracts already awarded.
All this cannot help setting bus
mess in motion. All this means
profits. But there'll have to be
taxes, too heavy taxes
maybe devastating taxes. For with
several billions deficit this year al
ready we superinpose a IS billions
armament program on the budget.
And so while the defense con-
tracts, make the spectators clap
their little hands, the fear OF
taxes frightens their little hearts.
The contracts are good the
deficits are good . but they are
afraid of Mr.. Roosevelt Hence the
market went down day after cleo
