Long Stordom Is Held

BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

is N.A.N.A).-It is too early yet
to compare the acrobatic Joe Cor
don with such long-term second
basemen as Larry Lajoie, Eddie Col
Inns. Johnny Evers or Charley
Gehringer.
The Yankees bounding rubber
ball around second base hasn't been
in harness long enough. But for
all that, his mates will tell you that
Joe Gordon can cover more ground
than any inf1elder that ever lived
that he can make plays no other
second baseman could hope to pull
off.
AS Bill Dickey puts it, "in the
first place, Gordon has amazing
foot and hand speed. At Oregon
on the gridiron he was rated on
even terms with George Washing
tons Tuffy Leemans when both
were freshmen. He has unuusal
starting speed, which is a big factor.
There's something else. Gordon
Is an acrobat. He worked for two
years at the acrobatic art, or what
ever 1t Is. He can throw himself
into the air and then turn or twist
his body several feet In either direc-
ton. This accounts for many of
those impossible line drive catches
he makes when the ball seems to
be well out of reach,
Evening star., 1940-03-15
Gordon Makes Plays Dickey
Knew Were Impossible

"I'll tell you honestly that I've
seen Joe Gordon make plays
around second that I knew were
impossible. I've seen him time and
again 60 back of the bag to dip up
a whistling smash and one play
later kill off another hit in short
right field over by first. It's almost
impossible to get ground ball by
him, no matter how hard it is hit.
He has the knack of timing the
play to split second. He seems
to sense where the ball is going be-
fore it is hit"
Bounding Joe is a happy, cheer
full ex-collegian with a quick smile
I don't believe the fate of the world
thrown across the back of his neck
could make him tighten up.
After his freshman football year
Gordon turned out with a horde of
frosh baseball candidates and imme-
diately was spotted as coming star.
Taking no chances on so much tai
ent coming into violent contact with
a blocking back, the baseball coach

list. This was smart act. There
have been football stars who also
became major league baseball stars,
such as Christy Mathewon, Mickey
Cochrane and a few others, but
football also can leave a bad shoul-
der or bad elbow or bad knee.
Gordon was one of those ball.
playing types who had big league
written all over him from the start,
even a college start. Others who
gave you the same instant tip were
Ty Cobb, George Sisler, Iris Speak
er, Babe Ruth and Joe jackson.
Lojoie's Grace Made Every
PIoy Appear to Be Eosy
Where will Gordon's place be
among the great second basemen
of all time? Larry Lajoie had 81
years under the big tent. Eddie
Collins served out II years. Both
finished with lifetime batting aver
ages above $50. Johnny Evers was
around for a long term, and Geh-
ringer, still on the firing line, still
one Of the greatest, has moved be-
yond the 10-year test.
Lajoie, a 200-pounder, had more
ease and natural grace than any
ball player I ever saw. I can't re-
call ever seeing him make what
looked like hard play. He made
them all look easy.
Larry also was one of the great
hitters. One season he passed 400
with the old ball. No man ever
lived who could slash one through
the infield as the big Woonsocket
Frenchman did. But he lacked
Gordon's terrific speed.
Eddie Collins was not only a great
second baseman and a $50 hitter
but also one of the best of all base
runners. AS recall the vital statis-
tics, he stole SO bases in one season.
Collins and Lajoie are rated
around the top, with Gehringer in
the same class. Evers was one of
the smartest of them all, but the
Trojan Splinter was we'll behind
this trio at the plate, lacking the
physical power needed for the big
punch.

HIGHWAY HITCHES

One major item of the new de-
tense budget to be submitted to con-
gress in January is a system of
highways linking key indus
trial centers. The plan calls for
the greatest road building program
in the history of the country.
Elimination of transportation bot
tlenecks, such as prevailed during
the World war, is one goal; also
the problem of conflicting state high
way laws which are a serious i'm
pediment to defense.
For instance, the war department
entered into a contract with truck
line last summer to transport small
arms and ammunition from Chicago
to Sparta, Wis, where maneuvers
were being held. 1t was a rush or
der, but was held up because the
trucks didn't conform to Wisconsin
limitations. In another case build
ing materials for an urgently need
ed powder plant in Indiana were de-
layed because of highway statutes
In an effort to unravel the maze
of state traffic rules, the lnterde-
partmental committee on interstate
trade barriers has surveyed POI stat
uteS Thirty-nine state legislatures
meet in January, and defense au-
thorities plan a vigorous drive to
persuade them to remo.c these de-
Tense obstacles. The highway re-
port has already been sent to the
legislative heads of Kentucky, Lou
lsiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New York. Rhode Island,
South Carolina and Virginia.
Federal officials want the states
to solve the problem themselves, but
if they don't, congressional action
will be sought under the constitu-
tional prohibition against interstate
commerce barriers. Such move
doubtless will stir up the hot opposi-
ton of railroads, who favor the eX-
lsting system as an aid in fighting
truck competition.

DEFENSE PRODUCTION

Bill Knudsen's speech at the Ma
tional Society of Manufacturers was
like a breath from a mountain top
on a muggy day. He was a prac-
teal production man talking their
language. He was an honest man
mixing the bitter with the sweet
and handing it out with the bark
off.
Production lags. Our machine for
defensive manufacture is not on an
about basis. 1t doesn't mean any,
thing to report the production of
so-and-so many airplanes or ships
unless you tell what types you are
talking about. Some are big and
complicated. Some are little and
simple.
Two years before he was called
to Washington, or even mentioned
elsewhere for that purpose, this col
umn began to urge that the govern
ment make use of Mr.. Knudsen in
the speciality in which he is verita-
BILE genius. That speciality is the
mechanical aspects of production in
the American model of vast mass
output through factory organization
and method. The present program,
now that SO many of the contracts
have been placed, is now moving
into exactly that phase. In that
phase you could sift America with
fine-meshed sieve and find no bet
ter man for that job.

apply, the chances are about one in
two billion against its happening
next year.
Only five star explosions have been

Extremely catastrophe star ex-
