Coach Holt indicated there would

willingness to have another try
merits a nationwide applause. This
country needs men Of such spirit,
such optimism, and when one Is

him. He rates a ride up Broadway,
from the battery TO the zoo-yeS,
a fellow who'd take that job should
be given a ride clean to the ZOO
and I am willing to furnish the
confetti if someone will volunteer
to hire the cars.
The hiring of Peckinpaugh so
many months before the start OF
the 1941 season was a thoughtful
act on the part Of the Indians
management. Now the members
of the team will have time to
arrange a fitting reception for him.
They will have most of November,
and all Of December, January and
February to get together such things
as parchment for petitions of dis
missal. clubrooms in which to hold
their sessions of revolt, and knives
specially built to fit in the small
of the back Too, they will have
ample time between now and the
time spring training starts to scout
Peckinpaugh's weaknesses and be
ready to start kicking him around.
Furthermore, the players will have
time enough to meet and cores
pond and decide on the strategy
they want Peckinbaukh to use next
year. This will take a great re-
sponsibility off the new manager.
The first time he meets the team
it'll be able to tell him on what
days certain pitchers like to work,
how the infield like to play when
particular situations come up, and
what seating arrangement the play
ers like on the bench.
Yes, the naming of Peckinpaugh
in November was a smart move.
BY this time next year the same
folk who hired him probably will
be explaining why it was a smart
move to fire him.

Rv HENRY McLEMORE

DALLAS. Nov. 13. CUP)-Thank
goodness. the Cleveland Indians
have named a manager for the
1941 season.
Now there won't be any lack OF
amusement for the baseball fans
during the long winter evenings.
They can gather about the fire
place, stove or radiator depending
on how their homes are heated
and start guessing who will manage
the Indians in 1912.
1 don't like to scoop my fellow
reporters (as you must have noticed
during the past ten years. but l
have a red hot tip on Peckinpaugh's
successor. From a source who Is
so close to the Cleveland front
office that he doesn't fit, I have
learned that the following men are
being given serious consideration
as the Indians pilot season after
next:
mickey Cochrane, former De-
troit manager who is now In the
automobile industry, but who is
said to yearn for the good old
days of second -guessers, fair wealth
er friends, and abrupt dismissals.
2-Babe Ruth, whose followers
still feel he was given a raw deal
by baseball.
3-Bucky Harris, manager of
Washington, who is said to be
determined to get with ball cl1b
which has pitchers with names he
can pronounce.
4-The author of Take Me Out
to the Ball Game"
5-Cy Slapnicka, who has been
managing the Indians for years.
6-Alva Bradley, president of the
Indians, who is said to want q
place on the bench so he can hear
player complaints more readily
7-Oscar Witt, the manager who
was just fired. The report is that
the Indians dislike Witt SO much
they want to punish him to the
utmost, and the best way they can
think of to do this is to re-hire
him and give him another season
on the Cleveland bench.
Now that Peckinpaugh has taken
the job for 1941, the country should
MT wait too long before arranging
national celebration in his honor.
He had the job once before-I
think he started in 1923 and lasted
until he got the pink slip in the

Favorable Prices Stimulate
Sales Of Loan Cotton
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Commodity Exchange Ad-
ministration announced yesterday
that reports from traders indicated
that during the current season
farmers had either repossessed or
sold their equity In upwards Of
$3.50, 900 bales Of surplus cotton
placed under Government loans
when prices were lower.
Equities are amounts in excess
Of those required to repossess the
loan cotton. Growers have the
right to redeem the cotton upon
payment of the loan and accu-
mulated charges or to sell their
equities to others. This right, ON
cials said, has a value that in
creases as spot prices rise above
the amounts required to repossess.
Relatively favorable prices this
season, officials said, have made
1t possible for the borrower to sell
the loan cotton and pay of his
obligation and pocket a profit.
Stocks Of cotton either under loan
or belonging to the Government as
the result Of foreclosure proceedings
totaled 10,045 900 bales at the be-
ginning Of this season last, August l..
The estimate of the amount of
loan cotton sold by growers was
based on reports the c. E. A. re-
ceived from cotton farms and
traders. Seventy-four leading firms
and traders, who normally handle
about so per cent of the Nations S
commercial crop, reported that they
had bought equities covering $780,
791 bales of cotton which had been
placed under the 1888 loan. They
reported that they had repossessed
