Speaking of Sports
Dodgers Rise.
Battling, But
Not to Them
By ROBERT McSHANE

released by Western Newspaper UnionJ
.nUROCHER'S Dynamic Dodgers
~ are the hottest thing in base
ball today.
Not long age the Brooklyn repre-
sentatives Of the National league
were chosen to battle II out for a
poor position in the second division.
Today they are the surprise team
Of baseball. No one comedies them
the pennant, but neither does any
so-called expert gaze into the crys-
tai ball and venture out on the we'll
known limb by tagging them as tail
enders.
The rise of the Dodgers can't be
construed merely as local devel-
opment. Fans far from the banks of
the Gowanus canal, bordering Eb-'
bets field, are roofing for the former
Dizziness Boys. If the home team
can't win, John @. Public is all for
the Dodgers. They have the peo-
pies vote.
Just few years ago the Dodgers
were always good for laugh. Their
brand of baseball wasn't guaran-
teed, but their style of entertain
ment was sure fire. Uncle Wilbert
Robinson was at the helm, and it
was an uneventful game when one
base runner didn't overtake another
or when an outfielder wasn't put
out of action for few innings by a
fly ball.

spirit OF a college fraternity team
with 10000 spectators. Their up
surge began when MacPhail, base
balls big idea man, took charge be-
fore the 1888 season. He was re-
sponsible for the purchase of play
ers. Durocher directed them. As
evidence of widespread houseclean-
ing activities, there are only nine
players still on hand from the ques-
tionable squad he inherited. The
veterans on hand are Pitchers Fred
Fitzsimmons, Van Lingle Mungo,
Luke Hamlin and Forrest Pressnell,
Catcher Babe Phelps, Infielders Du-
rocher, Pete Coscarart, John Hud-
son and Harry Lavagetto.
Starting in 1888 MacPhail pur-
chased First Baseman Dolph Camil-
Ii for S45, 900. Whitlow Wyatt, Mil
waukee m0undsman, was acquired
next, followed by Pitchers Hugh Ca
sey from Memphis and Bill Crouch
from Nashville. Pitcher Vito Tamu-
Lis came from the Browns and Out
fielder Ernest Koy from the Yankees
via waivers. Buddy Hassett and
Jimmy Outlaw went to Boston for
Outfielder Gene Moore and Pitcher
Ira Hutchinson.
He Pays to Conquer
In 1899 MacPhail bought outfield-
ers Jim Ripple from the Giants and
Fred Walker from Detroit, and trad
ed Pitcher Bill Posedel to Boston for
Backstop Al Todd.
Since last year MacPhail has out
done himself. He paid Louisville
S45, 900 and several players for Short
stop Hal Reese. Roy Cullenbine was
given SCI, 900 to sign, and the Red
Sox realized $4,000 for Outfielder
Joe Vosmik. Other additions includ-
ed Pitchers Carl Doyle from Mem
phis, Max Macon from the Cardinals
and Jim Carleton from Milwaukee.
He also acquired Yves Terrell, New
ell Kimball, Gus Mancuso, Charles
Gilbert and Herman Franks.
Neither MacPhail nor Durocher
show any surprise over their teams
early season standing. They have
an alright infield and brand new
outfield. The catching is good, and
the pitching better than they ex-
pected. That adds up to improve
ment in anybody's league.
And Brooklyn, probably the best
baseball town in the nation, is sold
ON this years team. Just remem-
Der that some 30, 900 turned out on a
rainy, miserable afternoon for the
opening game.
Chances are that you don't re-
member it, but Brooklyn won the
National league pennant back in
1920, a year they won SO games and
lost 81. Flatbush fans are looking
forward to a repetition of that VIC
tory. If it comes, the residents of
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and adjacent points would do well
to take a coastline cruise during
the fall months.

There's a slimness and smooth
charm about the princess silhouette
that endears it to every feminine
heart, and, with clever designing,
1t can be varied becomingly to suit
all of us, from little girls to large
ladies. That's the advantage Of
sewing your own; you can have
things that exactly please your fig
IRE, as well as your taste in color
and fabric. These simple patterns
will prove to be a happy introduc-
ton to the satisfying adventure Of
home sewing if you're inexperienced.
And if you're used to sewing. you'll
pounce upon them gladly, because
they're outstandingly smart and
easy to do. Step-by step sew chart
with each one.
If your figure is on the matronly
side and you want something SLIM
ming, choose design No. 1898. It
does full justice to the charm Of
curves, and at the same time en-
phasizes length rather than width.
Fastened smartly at the waistline
with cluster of buttons, like q
coat, it flows smoothly in at the
middle. Wide shoulders and slight
fulness at the hem throw into relief
the smallness of the waitline. This
is one of our famous diagram de-
signs that you can finish in a few
hours. Make it for home wear, with
plain V-neckline and tie belt, choos-
ing gingham, linen or pique. Make
It for street and summer travel, of
dark fiat crepe, rayon jersey or
smal1-f1gured silk print, with frill-
edged collar of pique, lawn or eyelet
embroidery, and omit the belt.
If your figure is one of the many
that need little filling out above
the waist and slimness over the hips,
then design No. 1858 is one that
you'll like very much and make up
time and again. Without breaking
the princess effect at all, the frock is
gathered at the waistline, front and
back, to make the bodice more full.
You can finish the narrow half belt
with a sash bow or buckle. Made
in the popular button-front style,
it turns back at the neckline in mar
row revers. This, too, is an endlessly
useful style, pretty in percale, calico
or chambray for house wear, and in
silk print, fiat crepe or spun rayon
for runabout. Omit the braid or
q slightly more formal effect, and
wear brooch, necklace or hy-away
bow at the neckline.

Honus Wagner, Hearty on Goth

Won Throwing Stones

There were only three automo-
biles in Mansfield and I owned one
of them. Why, in going through my
old records discovered I used to sell
IS gallons Of gas week-and I was
using 10 of them"
Wagner now serves as coach of
the team for which he played in
2,785 games in every position but
catcher. He pounded out 3,430 hits
and posted the all-time batting
average of 329. He scored 1,740 runs
and batted 800 or better for II
years.
On Top Eight Straight Years.
These are some of the other rec
ords he left before ending his play
ing career-after "a seasons in the
majors-in 1917 at the age of 43.
He led the National League eight
consecutive seasons in batting and
stole six bases in a single world
series, a feat equaled by Shorty
Slage of the Cubs, but never sur
passed. Wagner did it in the 1909
Pittsburgh-Detroit series. His field
ing record was 1920 putouts, 1864
assists and 612 errors for an all-time
average of 943.
Leaving the big leagues, he still
was good for 10 more seasons of
semipro ball. To constant exercise
he's still at it-Wagner attributes
his hearty health today.
Wagner's top salary was $4,000
'big money in those days" He never
was holdout, never argued about
his contract.
