Champ Parachute Jumper

According to reports just re-
ceived from Moscow, the worlds
champion parachute jumper is
Maj. Boris Kharakhonoff, of the
Black sea red navy. He is said
to have dropped from a height of
40,813 feet, not opening his para
chute until he was only 2,100 feet
from the ground. This drop of
38,713 feet breaks all previous
Russian records, as well as the
American record, which was set
last August by Willie ('Suicide'')

out diamonds are rough on your legs.
! could begin to feel the difference
in few days-sore igaments, sore
feet"
Bartel was one of the main fac
tors in Detroit's early summer
charge. Both his spirit and his play
were major factors in the Tiger
drive. And the same goes for Geh-
ringer, who stands out as one of the
great second basemen of all time.
When these two begin to skid the
Tiger infield began to look porous.
Figure this one out" one of the
Yankees said. Eve all know the
value of big, powerful hands in base
ball. Hands like Wagner's and La
joie's-but one of the best infelders
I've seen in long time has the
smallest pair of hands IN either
league"
Meaning whom?" we asked.
"Boudreau, the Cleveland short
STOP" he answered. "BOudreau has
extremely small hands. They are
delicate looking. But I don't know
of better shortstop anywhere to-
day. He has been one of the main
reasons for Cleveland's success.
When he gets either hand on a ball
il sticks with him."
The Eternal Argument
"In tell you something" one of
the Cleveland veterans said. "Old-
timers are always talking about the
play of the stars who once made the
headlines. They talk about a more
scientific game. I'd like to see
some of these old-tiners handle the
ball they hit at you today-infeld or
outfeld.
"The game today is twice as fast.
This modern ball comes at you like
a rifle shot many times. You can't
afford to lose split second. The
same is true in the outfield where
line drives come whistling by. 1t
takes much better starting speed to
handle the new, faster ball, no mat
ter what position you play. Those
old-timers were lucky when it came
to handling much slower ball, one
that gave you more time to cover
your ground.
Baseball today is far harder on
the nerves. You have to be alert
every second man is at bat. You
are tense all the time In any close
game. The old-tirne game may
have been more scientific, but the
game today is largely a matter of
speed and power.
Pitchers Us. Hitters
The clubhouse chitchat drifted
around to the comparative value of
pitching and hitting.
'If you had your choice" l asked
one of the veterans, who would you
take-Ruth, Cobb, Wagner and Foxx
-or Johnson, Alexander, Feller and
Grove-each at his peak?"
"T don't have to wait on that one, /"
he said. "Pd take the four pitchers.
Give me those four pitchers and I'll
give you any four big hitters you
might name IN any baseball league,
anywhere"
THAT must be right" someone
cut In. almost everyone rates the
Boston Red Sox as the best team
in baseball-outside of their pitch
ing. They have the strongest infield
and the best outfeld.
But what good is all that when
they keep losing games to z, 10 to
or maybe to S? They have to
score seven or eight runs to have
a good chance-and they lose some
of these. Connie Mack said the Red
Sox could win with his pitching staff,
and I guess he's right. If you
haven't got good pitching you are
out of luck"

PRO-NAZI WRITER'S RAISE QUESTION
Charlotte Observer

The time has come when it seems pertinent
to ask why it is that the great majority of those
who write to the newspapers to express their
awful fear that this country is going to be
drawn into the war almost invariably pro-
Nazi, pro-Hitler and anti-Brtish, land to ask if
they are not more anxious about what might
happen to Germany in such eventuality than
what would happen to the United States.
Their letters suggest the question: Why can't
they warn the American people against going
into war and ardently oppose the sending of
military forces to Europe without at the same
time indulging in fervid defense of Hitler and
Germany and bitter denuncation of England?
Virtually all polls, surveys and samplings of
public sentiment in this country have indicated
stern opposition the part of an overwhelnl-
ing majority to sending American soldiers to fight
in the war in Europe.
By the tests it has been revealed that
an overwhelming majority Of the American peo.
pie condemn Hitler and his gangsters and their
program of conquest that already has crushed
the nations of Austria, Czecho-slovakia Poland
Denmark and Norway, and finally has struck a
desperate blow at the life Of Belgium, Holland
and Luxembourg-eight free and Independent
countries that sought to live in peace and not
one of which had attacked Germany or threat.
ened ever to do so, not one of which so much as
extended any sort Of cooperation to the enc
mics of the Nazi government.
Therefore-since the overwhelming majority
of the people have been known to be staunchly
opposed to American military participation in the
European or any other war. even though
bitterly opposed to the program, policies and
practices Of Hitler and his gangsters; even
though shocked and dismayed by the series of
| wars of conquest against unoffending nations
and openly sympathetic with the Allies and
even more so with the weaker countries that

While this was going forward, ground was
broken for the main shipbuilding plant-in

Italys entry into the war.

with what appears to be the purpose of bring

manner of the Penitentes of New Maxico who
lash each other and themselves with cactus
thongs to induce frenzy.
The obvious reason for it all is to have
strong public support for plunging the nation
into war. Should Italy take the final plunge

have this excuse of obeying the peoples will to
explain their blunder.
