Hurtnett Rates q Hand
Even If Discharged
BY JOHN LARDNER,
anecial Cnrresnondent of The Star.

CHICAGO, July 18 (N.A.NA).-
You have to tip your hat to Gabby
Hartnett, manager Of the Chicago
Cubs. Whether he lasts another
month or another 10 years in his
job, he'll go down in the records as
a fellow who clung for at least two
full seasons to the saddle Of bad
bucking horse.
It's two years now since Gabby
took over from Charles John Grimm
and went on to win the pennant
with very personal home run on
Mace Brown in the twilight of the
1898 season. His team lost the World
Series to the New York Yankees in
somewhat humiliating fashion.
Right away came loud, clear calls
from here and there for Mr.. Hart
nett's scalp.
That's q nice how-do-you-do for
q major league manager. You win a
pennant in two months and two
weeks later there is agitation to have
you fired.

We'll Be Up There YETI
Declares the Gobber

Gabby has been criticized for the
Jurges-Demaree-Leiber deal, but
Leiber has found himself with the
Cubs, and Hartnett has Offset Dema-
rec with Bill Nicholson and come
up with pretty fair shortstop to
replace Jurges. Furthermore, he Is
not quitting, even now, on his medi-
ocre team.
We'll be up there yet" insists
the Gabber. mo team has a lock
in this league. Give me some steady
pitching from Bill Lee, and we'll
still steal the pennant."

The
SPoRTLIGH7
Some of Best Hitters
Overlooked by Fans
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, July ls (N.AN.A0.
You know the names of the
hitters who catch the eyes of the
writer's and the fans. They're In
the headlines all the time: Joe Di
Maggie, Joe Medwick, Jimmy Foxx,
Harry Danning, Hank Greenberg,
Mel OFT, Ted Williams-those are
the headline hitters, or some of
them.
But how about the fellows who
are walking up there every day and
slapping the ball around, driving
runners over the plate and break
ing up ball games-and never
getting much of a tumble from
anybody? The enemy pitchers
know them.
They'll tell you about the hitters
I've just hsted-and a few more.
Fellows like Rip Radcliff OF the
Browns, Luke Appling of the White
Sox, Cecil Travis of the Nationals
and Bob Johnson of the Athletics
in the American League, and Billy
Herman of the Cubs, Virgil Davis
OF the Pirates, Joe Moore of the
Giants and Pepper Martin Of the
Cardinals In the National.
Now and then one Of those fel-
lows will lead the league or hit a
flock of home runs and attention
will be centered on him for a while.
But, barring Pepper Martin, there
is nothing spectacular about them
and they don't hold the spotlight
long.
Evening star., 1940-07-18
Luke AppIing a Throwbock
To Era Of Willie Keller

Take. for example-but only be-
cause right now he has a good
chance to lead the American League
in batting again-Luke Appling of
the Sox.
Luke has been a good hitter for
long time. He won the batting
crown as far back as 1886 after
he had worked his way up, hand
over hand, from the ranks of the
ordinary hitters. He hit 1888 that
year and. while he hasn't ap-
preached that mark since, he always
has been over .300-always men
acing, always sending runners over
the plate at time when they
counted most.
In build Luke is a big little man.
Lots of hitters tower over him, but
he is put together strongly and has
powerful arms and supple wrists.
He doesn't make many home runs.
In fact, he hasn't made one since
1874 long stretch for q good
hitter to 60 without home run
in this era Of the lively ball. He is
throwback to the hit 'em-where-
they-aint days of Willie Keeler and
punches the ball, usually for one
base-and usually to right field.
AppIine Shows Up Critics
Of Choice as All-Stor
Hitting the ball and playing a
grand game at shortstop, Luke goes
his way calmly, seldom attracting
attention. But now and then he
gets a break and when he does
he goes to town-as he did in the
recent All-Star game.
There was some question in the
minds Of the not very discerning
critics as to whether or not he
belonged on the American League
team for that game. But once the
game got under way the question
was answered in the Affirmative.
He was the only hitter on the
American League side who wasn't
IN easy prey for the Latioual
League pitcherA

REGISTRATION DAY
FAST APPROACHING

With the registration date set
by President Roosevelt for October
Is less than two weeks off, Gov
ernor O'ConOr is speeding up ar
engagements throughout the State
for this all-important event under
the Selective Service Act.
In answer to a point which has
come up recently, the Governor
has announced that women may
serve as registrars, but they will
not be eligible under the law for
positions on the Draft or Appeal
Boards. In advance of assurances
from the various counties regard
ing the preparedness for Registra-
ton Day, the governor is confident
it is stated, that the Board of
Election Supervisors in each coun-
ty will have their plans in such
shape that complete registration
of all males between the ages Of
81 and 35 will be effected
Under the regulations alu'un =
ed from Washington, it was point
ed out that the governor has the
authority to appoint registrars,
even from outside the cuonty, if
the set-up provided for does not
seem adequate to handle the as
signment in the county.

Purchase Of Apartments
For Barracks Denied

A rumor to the effect that the
War Department is contemplating
purchase or lease of Colonial and
Arlington Villages, large-scale rem
tai housing developments in nearby
Virginia, as possible barracks for
soldiers was declared today to be
without foundation by both War
Department officials and the man.
agement of the apartments.
The story, which apparently had
wide circulation, was that tenants
of both Colonial and Arlington Viii
lagos would be subject to removal
with five days notice. 1t was also
rumored that leases at the two
places are now being drawn in
cluding clause to that effect. J. C..
Blake, manager of Colonial Village,
stated that neither he nor Gustave
Ring, who built and owns both de-
velopments, have been approached
by the Government regarding the
lease or sale of either place.
War Department officials denied
that any plans have been made
concerning the two housing projects
as possible barracks. 1t has been
announced that plans are under
way for the War and Interior De-
partments to buy the present Wash
ington Airport, the Agriculture Ex-
perimental Farm and adjacent
property for parks and barracks.

The dollar volume of private

However, the number of one

pared to l45 valued at slightly more
