Cooney Not Too Old
To Be Fence-Buster

Mr.. Stengel seems to imply that
Mr.. Cooney will be so any minute,
but this is a slight exaggeration.
The fence-buster is not even 40 yet.
One of the fleetest and shrewdest
Of all outflelders, Slugger John has
been in organized baseball more

mer he had never hit home run.

NJ. Cooney had rounded first base,
on the theory that a team player
runs everything out. When the ball

tracks and stared.
Come on in John!" bawled Mr..
Stengel from the third-base line.
IF you don't 60 all the way around
before you faint, 1t amt off1cial!"
Mr.. Stengel has high hopes for
Cooney.

Mats GiuIioni Is Daddy

Catcher Angelo Giuliani of the

For B team striving to-, WOO. the

Washington Eagles are employing a
rather zany system. Fans who elect

Riverside Stadium Friday night to-
day are vague concerning whether
the Eagles care particularly If they
finish first or third in the Eastern
Amateur Hockey League race.
1t was after the Eagles had dis
posed of the Jersey Skeeters, reduc-

Baltimore Orioles and giving Wash

capturing the league championship.

prominent players chose to sample
the city's night life. Maybe they've
read all great athletes know the art
of relaxation, so they relaxed until
the small hours.
Eagles Blow Long Lead.
That might have passed unnoticed
If the Eagles hadn't blown a 40 lead
to lose to the Atlantic City Sea Gulls,
6-5, and virtually boot themselves
out of title contention. With only
seven games remaining on their
schedule, the Eagles now are in third
place, some eight points behind the
Orioles.
So tomorrow night, instead of at
tempting to whittle Baltimore's mar
gin to four points and thereby fash
ion a bitter titular stretch battle,
the Eagles merely will be trying to
gain a tie for second place in their
collision with the New York Rovers.

Jones Reports Gains
In Industria!
Production
Backlog Of Orders
Assures Expansion
Through Winter, He Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of Commerce Jones said
yesterday that industrial production
during October had exceeded the
December peak and that the back
log of manufacturers orders as
sured further industrial expansion
through the winter months"
Everywhere in American economic
life" Mr.. Jones said in a statement,
"the business record points to prog
ress that is definite and specific"
He listed these factors as con-
tributing to the favorable outlook:
Construction was at a 10-year peak
in October; all groups shared in the
rising trend of income payments;
employment and pay rolls increased
substantially; large consumer pur-
chasing in recent months reflected
rising buying power; electric power
output reached a new record.
Mr.. Jones said that "the stimulat-
ing effect of the national defense
program was clearly evident in
awards for commercial and factory
building and for residential con-
struction."
Activity in the machinery manu-
featuring industries, he said, had
"quickened perceptibly" under the
impetus of British demand and the
defense program.
Describing electric power con-
sumption in october as IAN overall
indicator of the persistent upward
movement during the MONTH" the
Commerce Department chief said
that a new all-time power record
had been established in the later
half of the month.
Mr.. Jones said that private build
ing had been the most important
factor in sustaining the high level
of construction, since public con-
tracts this year had declined by
