By THE MAN IN TIE TOWER

LAVENDER AND OLD LACE
cor Escape from Mein Kampf and Grapes OF Wrath
Who longs for the days OF light literature
When love stories we're romantic, not rough
With hero and heroine sedately genteel
And not realistically fought
Those stories OF ladies OF quality,
And gentlemen in weskits Of buff;
Odds bullets! ye old time skulldoggery
When hero called bold villains bluff.
Setup: an old southern mansion,
Poor hero does not dare show his face;
Villain sulks among the box hedges,
Heroine lovely in lavender and old lace
You all recall those sweet stories
When you burned the midnight oil, or was II gas?
SO different from Heminway, Lewis or Hammett,
Just the same boy oh boy they had class.

Browns, it seems, have had their
splurge and from now on not much
is likely to be heard from them.
One of the main surprises has
been offered by the Giants who, aft
er bad start, have moved up into
the running. At the outset, the
Giants didn't look any better than
they did at the finish of the 1889
campaign. But the return of Joe
Moore, the fine pitching Of Carl Hub
bell and the batting of Harry DAN
ming pulled them out of that early
season slough.
They still don't look as if they
might sneak through and grab the
pennant. But they do loom as a
threat to the Reds and Dodgers, be-
tween whom the pennant seems to
lie. They can make lot of trouble
for those teams. Unable-or so it
appears-to win themselves, they
can have something to say about
who does win.

The Reds naturally are favored.

Werber. Walters seems headed for
a season as brilliant as that which
he had in 1899. Take Werber out of
the Red infield and it would sag so
badly the weight of it would drag
the team down.
The Dodgers have exceeded the
expectations Of Larry MacPhail and
almost met those Of the Brooklyn
fans. Larry said in the early spring
he didn't think the Dodgers would
be as good as they were last year,
while the fans claimed the pennant.
And, Of course, they remain the
most exciting team In baseball.
Il Quick Comeback
The robustness of the Dodgers
spirit was emphasized by the man.
ner in which they threw off the ef-
fects of the loss of those two games
to the Giants on Memorial day.
That, it must be remembered, was
more than just the loss Of double
header. 1t was bitter, humiliat-
ing and total defeat suffered on the
home grounds at the hands Of hat
ed enemy and with all the fans who
possibly could be packed into Eb-
bets field looking on. 1t was enough
to have thrown them off their stride
for a couple of weeks at least, but
they bounced right back from it as
only thoroughly game outfit could.
Once more Leo Durocher is DEM
0nstrating his skill as manager as he
guides the Dodgers past bumps
such as that defeat by the Giants
and the loss of Pee Wee Reese. The
Brooklyn players-and this is one
of their main sources of strength
think he is the greatest manager
the game ever knew. l can't 60
quite that far with them but will
say there is no manager in base
ball now who is doing better job.
Yankees on the Way
The Yankees, though they have
Jagged, may be on their way at last
not yet with the smoothness that
is characteristic Of them-but in a
fashion that makes them still look
like fair bet to smash precedence
and win a fifth pennant in a row.
They have got over their bewilder-
ment, brought on by early season
setbacks. and are hitting again. In
Marvin Breuer-they have the best
first-year pitcher in either league.
They have had days recently such as
they usually have at their peak.
The Red Sox, holding first place,
aren't going to be overhauled cas-
lily. Even the Yankees know that.
Cleveland, with Bob Teller swinging
along and a fine second-base com
bination in Mack and Boudreau, and
Detroit, with a lot Of power, are
dangerous, too. The White Sox are
going to be troublesome from time
to time-as they we're last week,
when they took two games out Of
three from the Yankees--but they
scarcely are contenders and the rest
of the clubs do not matter, either.
That's the way 1t looks as the
teams roll through these weeks.

Summer Salad Of Raw Vegetables

MARYLAND, long the home of
N1 gourmets Of America, came Id
for its share of honors at the New
York Worlds Fair when a wooden
salad bowl heaped with julienne
and sliced raw vegetables was pre-
scented to Mrs. Raymond p. Spitz-
mas OF Baltimore when she visited
the village OF kitchens In the Heinz
Dome.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spitznas. their
daughter Sarah, ~, and son Ray
mond, 2, were selected as the typi-
cal American family representing
Maryland at the Fair where they
occupied one OF the model Federal
Housing Administrations homes for
one week.
OF course, when you think of
Maryland you think OF fried
chicken, and this crisp and appetite
ing salad makes a decorative COM
panion for that porch supper on
a warm summer evening.
The nice part about this salad Is
that it's arranged in sections so
that your guests or family may help
themselves to their favorite vege-
tables. In one section there is
shredded cabbage, In another green
peppers cut in thin strips, rosettes
of raw caulifiower, julienne carrots,
and cucumbers and radishes thinly
sliced to retain their crispness.
Each section is divided with bunch
es of parsley.
Serve a French salad dressing in
a separate bowl. The first secret
of successful saladry Is a delicate
and exacting blend OF vinegars and
oils. Here's a recipe you'll like.

Manager Bill Terry is far from the

he is canny pilot-one of the smart

be one Of the least surprised If the
Giants captured the pennant.
The Dodgers, strong team with
plenty of aggressiveness, became
stronger with the recent acquisi-
ton of Joe Medwick and Curt Davis.
Lippy Leo Durocher finally has the
hitter he wanted-a hitter he can
count on when runs are needed.
From 1885 through 1887 Medwick hit
