Most Feel Good Players
Should Be Protected

Some of baseball's tycoons and
shoguns argue that they cannot af-
ford to risk their valuable cargoes
Of ivory in the air.
Its all right for the Dodgers, but
not for u.s." they say, appearing to
imply, rather discourteously, that if
the Brooklyn ball club is lost Mr..
MacPhail can always replace it for
$17.50 at department store bar
gain counter.
Nevertheless, the Dodgers and Red
Sox are true pathf1nders, and the
others sooner or later will follow
their lead. And this will be one
of the major developments of mod
ern professional baseball-for by re-
ducing the country's span to the
size of an overnight train jump
from New York to Chicago, flying
will shift the center of gravity of
baseball and readjust the scope and
distribution of the entire industry.
This is familiar and widely dis
cussed possibility, but it never was
as near to realization as now, with
the dashing Dodgers flying (and G..
Phelps riding the rods from ball
game to ball game.
Cities of great potential baseball
strength-San Francisco. Los An
geles, Seatatle, Houston, Dallas, New
Orleans, Kansas City, Minneapolis,
Portland-are within range and ell
gible, when the magnates get around
to making up what are laughingly
known as their minds to play on
one circuit with Boston, New York,
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Air TroveI Is Creating
Many Possibilities

The airplane makes possible a new
and wholesale change in major
league conditions and constitutions
1t makes possible new leagues, or
bigger leagues. The so-called double
A leagues - International, Pacific
Coast, American Association-could
be promoted to majors in short Or
der. Cities like San Francisco, Seat
tie, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Buff
falo, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kan
sas City, indianapolis and New Or
leans, for instance, are minor league
in name only. Nearly all of them
are bigger than Cincinnati. Three of
them are bigger than Pittsburgh
and Boston.
To put Baltimore and Seattle on
one circuit-to hitch up New York
and San Francisco, New Orleans
and Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Los
Angeles-that is the dream the
desperate Dodgers carry with them
as they hurdle the ridges by plane.
If we could only coax Babe Phelps
aboard that crate we'd be getting
somewhere. Phelps is a franchise in
himself.

CENTRALIA. Wash.-Washing-
ton farmers have been placed in
competition with the peon labor
Of the Argentine. the cooae labor

Europe. through reciprocal trade
treaties which have been supported

Tuesday night.
Chadwick. who spoke at a politi-
cal rally. sharply opposed both the
treaties and Henry wailace's farm
doctrine of scarcity" under which
farm production has been limited.
The Republican senatorial can
didate stated he believed the first
step to be taken in returning agri-
culture It's just share OF the ma
tons income was the simple one
of maintaining the American mar
ket for the American farmer.
Chadwick declared that both

to agriculture In the state of
Washington than In almost
any other section Of the United
States" had received the bless
ing of his opponent.
He has attempted tn he all

said. HE has blown hot and

He has blown hot for the east

ing at their feet foreign markets
for which they do not have to
compete on world basis; he has
blown cold for the farmers of this

two programs cannot be reconciled.

regret that fashions have changed

fight did the fighting. and those

they wouldn't bother any civilians

actually relatively slight.
In the Mediterranean area, where
italy reported sinking a British
submarine in duel with a Fascist
undersea craft. there were new re-
ports of impending action.
Virginia Gayda, the Fascist
mouthpiece. reported in the Gior-
male d'Italia that new thrusts"
are being prepared in North Africa
and that the Italians already have
pushed about 20 miles past the
captured British base of Sid Bar
rani in Egypt.
2-PRONGED OFFENSIVE
That would put them almost 100
miles into Egypt's western desert,
but still more than 200 miles from
the British naval base of Alex
andria, which guards the Suez
canal.
The Egyptian offensive gener-
ally has been regarded as the
southern spearhead of a two

striking through the Balkans, in
an effort to drive Britain from the
