sightseers, to trample her velvety

trimmed hedges and flower beds,
scatter ashes and cake crumbs on
her oriental rugs. One week Of ago

Limpy.
Then, almost overnight, Shires be-
came a Coy Rest. The oriental
rugs and brocade tapestries were
removed and stored in moth-proof
containers in the attic. The best
chairs and more costly small tables
were removed. Pieces Of bric-a-
brac, vases, pictures, expensive ash
trays and cigarette boxes, finely
bound books, were slowed away in
locked drawers.
Never leave any little nice thing
lying about loose in a campaign"
she said. ITO constituents, anything
small enough to 60 in pocket is a
souvenir"
Even the grounds shared the cam
paign renovation. The rarest and
most treasured Of small shrubs and
plants were removed to the green
house, which was padlocked. Stout
grilled iron fences enclosed the flow
er gardens and bushes. Little rail-
ings shut off the place where Wis
itors were not to walk.

on the fifth of July, and an old road
ster was turned over to him to trav-
Ell about the state in. meeting COM
mittees, arranging rallies, hobnob-
bling with the press and getting his
bearings in general.
In July, Aunt Olympia, referring
to her Social Activities" list, in
vited the Ladies' Aid Society in
Maysville to a garden party at
Glacier County chief., 1940-05-24

Shires. The girls, who thought they
knew Ladies' Aids, were amazed at
the quantity of refreshments she
planned for this event.
Dear me, it must be huge Aid"
said Helen. "You have food enough
for two hundred"
"There'n be two hundred" said
Aunt Olympia. Though it's not a
very large Aid. They'll bring all
their children and cousins and aunts-
by-marriage. They'll take advan-
tage of it being election year and in
vite all their out-of-town friends"
There were two hundred and fifty
at the garden party.
"Most of 'em I never saw be-
fore in my life and half of those
I have seen don't even belong to
our church."

than warfare. There was frequent
attendance at church suppers, fish
fries, shore dinners, club picnics,
and firemen's balls. There were a
few speeches to be made, photo
graphs to be posed for, interviews
given and disseminated.
The Senator had figured that six
weeks would suffice for the inten-
sive, swing-of-the-state campaign.
But he had not reckoned with Broth
er Wilkie. Six weeks was not enough
for the Opposition. In July, while
the Senator was blissfully basking
in a breathing spell, the Governor
swung into action. To take the edge
of the Senator's honey old trailer,
he established the children, the bel
dame and Len Hardesty in a COW
cred wagon and hit the trail.

In August, impelled by the Cow

shire-for-Re-election campaign got
under way. The old trailer, after
standing outdoors three or four days
to become plebeianly stained with
dust and streaked with rain and
dew, was packed for travel. The
itinerary was planned to the ulti-
mate minute. The sound truck was
loaded with papers, files and books.
The girls enjoyed campaigning.

haven't seen any better spirit in
either baseball or football than
Brooklyn has this year. We have a

greatest baseball cities in the his

They win-going away. They know
baseball, and they love baseball.
They are well ahead Of New York
and Chicago, whose 'ttopless tow
ers," surrounded by nearly Is, O0O,-
900 people, are overshadowed. They
want winners, but more important
still, they love and know the game.
In this respect they have taken
the play away from Boston, the real
cradle of baseball knowledge and in
terest some years ago. There was
time when Boston was the main
baseball Citadel of Swat. Boston
is still a great baseball city. But it
isn't Brooklyn or Detroit.
In a four-month tour of some
10000 miles through winter and
spring I've found that about 70 per

for Brooklyn to win the National
League pennant and for Boston to
fly the American League pennant at

BILE. A wounded knee is always a
gamble. Ask any good trainer.
another Angle
Here is another angle one of the
rival managers gave out recently.
"For the last four years." he said,
'most Of us have taken II for granted
that the Yankees couldn't be
stopped. They were just too good.
Partly for this reason too many Of
our teams were beaten before q
Yankee game started. But you get
tired Of taking too many beatings.
They begin to leave q deeper sting.
This season you'll find most of the
teams out to beat the Yankees, hus-
Ting harder than they ever have be-
fore.
"This can make a lot of differ
ence. Especially as the Yankees,
after four big years, won't have the
same keenness. They can't have.
It isn't human nature.
81 remember hearing Ty Cobb
say once that three or four years of
success was about all any ball club
can carry. This doesn't mean the
Yankees can't win again. But it
does mean we should have a real
race this season."
Spirit and the Dodgers
This matter of team spirit brings
US alongside the Dodgers. asked
Larry MacPhail how he accounted
for that wild and woolly getaway
the Dodgers put on this season.
"Hustling and spirit" Larry said.
81 honestly think we have Is per
cent more spirit than any team in
baseball.
