National League Regains Prestige In 194O Wars
Greenberg Is Key Man For Detroit Club
 As Tanks Fold
First of six year-snd sports re- views.
BY DON SANDERS


 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Nineteen-forty turned out to be the year the National League was waiting for.
 Not only did the Cincinnati club break the American Leagues grip on the world championship, but Bill McKechnie, he Reds man. ager piloted National League teams to victories in the preseason ale star game for Finnish relief in Tampa and the regular 24-carat game in St. Louis in July.
 The season saw the supposedly invincible New York Yankees fall apart dike the one-hoss shay at the seasons start They were so highly rated that the American League passed a rule prohibiting its pennant winner from obtain ing athletes within the league ex- cept on waivers.
 The Yankees pulled themselves together toward the flag end, and with the aid of superlative pitch ing by big Ernie Bonham, brought in from Kansas City, managed to make a race of it near the close.
 No one figured that what ap- peared to be decrepit den of De- troit Tigers would be a serious contender.
 : But there was no holding that Tiger in the run down the stretch.
 Dick Bartell turned up on two good legs. The underpinning of aged Charley Gehringer stood up, and Del Bakers ace in the hole was Hank Greenberg in left field. GREENBERG ADJUSTS HIMSELF TO GARDEN
 After 10 years at first base, Greenberg switched to the garden to make room in the infield for Rudy York and his big bat.
 Greenberg quickly adjusted him. self to his new surroundings was 8 pretty fair fiychaser by the time of the spring all-star show in Tampa, where he served notice that he was to be no dud by making a spectacular catch.
 Greenberg's batting thriyed in the pasture.
 He manufactured fl home runs and his 150 topped both majors in runs batted in. He was one of the leading batters with $40.

Conn WEI Get Title Bout With Louis Despite PubLi.

 New York, Dec. 17.-(UP)-The last lingering doubts whether Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankees cen- ter fielder, is 8 truly great hitter have been dispelled by the official American League batting averages reI.ased today.
 By winning the batting title for the second straight year DiMaggio joins Larry Lajoie, Ty Cobb and Al Strnmons-three of baseball's most accomplished batSmen-as a repeat CT. DiMaggio captured the 1899 bat ting championship with an average of .381 and repeated the past season with 8 mark of 1852.
 The feat of winning two batting titles in succession is more .iicult than is generally supposed. Such great hitters as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Harry Heilmann, Charlie Gehringer, Iris Speaker, George Sis- Ter and Heinie Manush were never

 Line Very Heavy.
 The backfield starters average 187 pounds while the line adds up to 198.
 Extensively, Stanford scored ITS points--26 touchdowns and 18 con- versions against 72 for the opposi- tion. Satisfactorily, Stanford held a wide edge over most of its foes and the most startling figures are those of Stanford's pass defense. The op- position completed only 41 passes out of 138 thrown. Two teams Oregon and Southern California failed to complete a single pass against Stanford; California con- pleted but one and Washington two.
 Stanford will leave Palo Alto Christmas night for Los Angeles and work out in the neighborhood. After layoff following the Cali fornia game, Stanford resumed practice at Palo Alto yesterday.
 Coach Shaughnessy isn't saying much about the game. He figures Nebraska will be tough-but then so were all the teams Stanford played this year.

base hit laurels. Ted Williams, Red Sox sophomore, scored the most runs 134, repeating in that department. McCosky, Radcliff and Doc Cramer of the Red Sox, recently traded to Washington, tied for the most hits, each with POO.
 George Case, Washington speed- ster, won the stolen base crown for the second straight year although he fell short of his prveious years ex- ceptional total. In the full campaign of 154 last season, Case stole 35 bases as compared to 51 thefts in 128 games in 1889. Mike Kreevich, White Sox outfielder, again won the bunt- ing title, registering 21 sacrifices, one less than his 1889 total.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-17

Hank Greenberg of the Tigers, who made the difficult switch from first base to the outfield, had an outstanding year at bat. He tied his teammate Barney McCosky for fifth place nbatting, each with $40, Greenberg's highest batting average since he's been in the majors. He led the league in homers, with 41, in doubles with 50, and in total bases, with 384. Greenberg was at his hot test in September, biffing 15 homers, only three short of the one-month record of IS set by his teammate and successor at first base, Rudy York.

the prevailing opinion holds that
they have not speeded the flow OF

More than $1,000, 900 a year OF

been expended for the last 10
years on Detroit's ambitious and

Mayor. Jeffries appointed a

TO study this problem and they
have been quietly at work more
than a month.
Most of the members OF the
committee are agreed that the

that some new type of public

which will give the public more

SNOW ACTIVITY

The first thing I did the day it
showed was to run out and make a
snowman. After I finished a boy
came by and threw snowballs at him
and knocked him down.-Florence
Peekel, grade Z.
The snow was beautiful. It looked
like Mother Goose was picking
feathers and they were flying
through the air. All of the old
houses were covered. 1t was very
beautiful. Everyone was throwing
snowballs and everyone was happy
because it was the first snow in
four years.-Mirriam Tyler.
When it showed it looked as if
someone was picking a duck. We
all were glad because we wanted to
make snow balls. In the back yard,
I made a snowman that was four
feet tall.-Eliza Jane Street.
Early in the morning I arose
from my bed and saw a white spread
over the yard. After I dressed I
ran out and played snowballing. I
got lot of my friends to play and I
thought it was going to be a lot of
fun, but I got hit right in the eye
and I said, mo more playing snow
balling for me" My brother called
me a sissy, but I didn't care. 1t
hurt,-MoZelle.

HARNETT PUPILS
WRITING ESSAYS

Now as you know, the Romans
were fighting people. They had al
ways been at war with their neigh.
bors. Long ago the Romans thought
that the stars and weather, the
flights of birds, and actions of cer
tain animals were signs of what
would happen. They built temples
for the people. The temples were
opened in time of war and closed at
the end of war.
A great Roman was Cincinnatus
who was very brave and strong He
liked to help his people in every
way. Later the Romans wanted him
for their leader, but he said he
would rather live on his farm. But
he consented to LEAD them in battle.
When he won he returned to his
farm. The Americans learned to
build roads and make laws from
these people.
