Werber. Walters seems headed for
season as brilliant as that which
he had in 1889. 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.
A Quick Comeback
The robustness of the Dodgers
spirit was emphasized by the man
ner IN which they threw off the eff
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, hurniliat-
ing and total defeat suffered on the
home grounds at the hands of a 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 couple of weeks at least, but
they bounced right back from it as
only thoroughly game outfit could.
Once more Leo Durocher is DEM
Onstrating 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. I can't GO
quite that far with them but 1 will
say there is no manager in base
ball now who is doing a better job.
Yankees on the Way
The Yankees, though they have
Jagged, may be on their way at last
mot yet with the smoothness that
is characteristic of them-but in
fashion that makes them still look
like fair bet to smash precedence
and win 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
frst-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 Feller swinging
along and a fine second-base com
bination in Mack and Boudreau, and
Detroit, with lot of power, are
dangerous, too. The White Sox are
going to be troublesome from time
to time-as they were 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 it looks as the
teams roll through these weeks.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-07-04

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 a 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 a 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 French have eaten frogs for
years, and so have we Americans.
But the Chinese, who have been
frog eaters for centuries, are the
only nation in the world to wor-
ship frogs as well, for in their pc
culiar symbolism the frog stands
for wealth. In Chekiang, the CEN
ter of the cult, special houses are
devoted to the use Of frogs. They
are taken there from temples and
allowed to hop merrily about the
sunny gardens. When they are
tired, devotees carry them back
to the temples. The Chinese wor-
ship the green frog, and only the
