BASEBALL'S ALL-STAR NIISFITS
Continued from pose eight

from the start, with his strong throw
ing arm and his speed.
Joe DiN1agglo, brilliant Yankee
outfelder whose fielding feats have
matched his slugglng in the big show,
made nine errors in his first game IN
organized baseball - as a shortStop.
Il did everything that day but
swallow the ball, laughs Jolting Joe.
But the following spring, Jimmy
Caveney, shreWd manager who had
mentally catalogued the shamefaCed
young shortstOp as prospect, because
he liked the kids style at the plate,
put Joe in the San Francisco outfield
for a tryout. DiMaggio learned the
trade quickly; and Caveney hadn't
been wrong about his hitting form, for
he hit safely in sixty-one straight ball
games that season. The Yankees
bought Joe the next year
Now the fumbling, wild-throwing
shortstop has become the smooth out
fielder whose Looping style is the pat
tern of perfection.
Almost half the ballplayers who
make good in the big show played at
some other position during mis-
guided youth. It's hard to realize that
Lon Warneke, Cardinal pitching ace,
reported to Houston in the Texas
League as first baseman, and that
Van Mungo, stormy petrol of
Brooklyn's mound corps, turned up at
Charlotte as a first -sacker; that frankie
Frisch, one of the greatest second
basemen Of all time, caught every
game for his high-school nine; that
Paul Derringer, whose twenty-five
victories last season put him on par
with his staff mate, Walters, began as
a catcher at Bardstown, Kentucky
Most of this realigning is done at
the training camps, where managers
can afford to experiment before their
teams begin to play "for keeps" Some
players try new positions willingly.
Others, like Walters and Padgett,
need plenty of convincing.
Connie Mack tells of the battles he
had with Mickey Cochrane to make
him one of the catching greats of all
time
"Corcoran (Mr Mack still mis-
pronounces Mickey's name) said he
could never learn to catch high FOULS

Athletics; and besides, he said he
didn't want to wear all that truck
catcher has to carry. Mike fancled
himself as an outtielder when he came
to me from Portland in the spring of
1925, and it wasn't until the middle of
that season that managed to wear
him down and get him behind the
plate | knew the boy was a catcher
all the timc''
Wise old managers like Mack and
the late John McGraw seem to have
second sight in sizing up players
capabilities.
In the Giants 1926 training camp,
McGraw took long look at the six
teen-year-old high-sChool boy from
Gretna, Louisiana, whom a friend had
sent to him and saw the successor
to Ross Youngs, his immortal right
fielder. No matter that the youngster
was catcher and had never played
any other position: go out there to
right field, young man. said McGraw.
Mel OFT has been there ever since!
McGraW made few mistakes, and
baseball history is richer for the deeds
of his switched" superstars. Ross
YOungs, incidentally, came to him as
an inielder. Roger Bresnahan, the
great catcher, was an outfielder when
he first reported to McGraw. George
Burns came to the Giants disguised as
catcher, but the Little Napoleon
soon discovered great outfielder.
But not all managers have that
Midas touch when it comes to juggling
ballplayers Big-league pilots, every
time they shift a player from one posi-
ton to another, shudder when they
think of what Horace Fogel did, when
he managed the Giants for a time in
1902.
A tall, tousled-haired youngster
who had done some pitching for Buck
nell University was having bad year
on the mound for the Giants. He was
losing far more frequently than he
won.
You'll never be pitcher. l can
see that" decided Fogel. You're a
first baseman. Get mitt and go out
there and play the bag
1t was Christy Mathewson, who
was later to become, under John Nc
Graw, perhaps the greatest pitcher of
all time,

French men-o'-War, giving her six
to-three advantage over Britain in
fast, well armorcd craft with the
hitting power of drcadnaughts, car
ries 4 threat TO British sea supre-

Addition of these ships-the 35,-

the 26,500-ton Dunkcrque and Stras-
bourg--to Germany's battleships
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau would

air and undcrsca auXiliaries, chal-
lenge the British battle line, these
sources said
This threat to Britain's grand fleet
is far greater than that of subma-
rines or naZi air craft, in the opinion
of these naval men.
With the four French ships, the
Germans would have an edge in
Ipccd and weight Of metal over
Britain's three battle cruisers, the
Hood, Rcpulsc and RenoWn-the
only British ships with speed to

President Roosevelt has asked Owen
D. Young, retired board chairman of

and advise Sidney Hillman, CLIO
leader who is in charge of training
workers for national defense ac-

Stephen Early, the presidents press

Young had been asked to help HILL

Civilian Conservation Corps.
Young was a White House visitor

Early said he thought the retired

request.
Meanwhile the exact extent of the
state of emergency now existing III
the nation and the sccrecy-Vcilcd

Three lines in presidential pro-

by Mr.. Roosevelt on September 8.
1899, had been broadencd.
The proclamation, after stating

Washington, June 20. - (AP)-
President Roosevelt signed into law
today bill requiring registration
and finger printing Of approximately
100000 aliens in the United States.
In statement issued simultane-
ously. the President expressed hope
that no loyal ALIENS" would be sub
iectcd to harassment in the course
Of this program, but added:
with those aliens who are dis
loyal and are bent on harm to this
country. the government, through its
law enforcement agencies, can and

In effect, Mr.. Roosevelt reproved
some states and communities which
have undertken 10 deal with aliens
individually.
The only effective system of con-
troll over aliens in this country must
come from the federal government
alone his statement said. "This is
as true from Il practical point Of view
as il is from legal and constitutional
point Of view.
Since Congress by the act has at
tempted TO provide single and uni
form method of handling this diff
1icult problem Of alien registration
in this country, it seems to me that
attempts by the states or COM
munities to deal with the problem
individually will result in undesirable
confusion and duplication"

Is Killed In

Rome, June 29-(AP)--Marshal
Italo Balbo, governor general of
Libya, was. killed yesterday while
plotting a plane over Torbrull, Libya,
during an enemy bombardment, an
Official announcement disclosed.
The plane crashed in flames, kill
ing all aboard.
The Italian high command issued
the following special communique:
"While flying over Torbruk dur
ing an enemy bombardment on June

crashed in flames. Italo Balbo and
the members of the crew persisted.

tic flier and air marshal, who died
at his post in combat"
The dashing, colorful trans-Atlan-
tic flier was one of fascisms celebri-
ties and sometimes was mentioned
as a possible successor to Mussollni
as Italy's next duce.
Since Mussolini sent him to Libya,
however, at the height of his popu-
larity, Balbo's name has been heard
less often in connection with possible
fascist succession than that of Count
Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-laW and
