POLITICAL PERSONALITIES


The presence of Rush d. Holt

face it seems-and by the best
Senators of both parties. Reason
IS simple. The young West Vir-J
ginian took his job seriously
and when he rose to speak the
Senate knew he knew what he.
talking about. Holt had a desirei
to serve the best interest of the
whole country and he put that
desire above partisan and group
politics, with foreknowledge the.
course would put him in bad
with the powers that were. One

in the end may turn out to- be
to Hollis advantage anyway to
think Hollis political career has
ended is a mistake. Good men

 to the plate and adding to the roar of the Metropolis by booming out base hits that echoed from the Polo Grounds to Ebbets Field. Right now the old guy is the best pinch hitter in the National League. Truly, life begins at 40, for that is the number of years Charles Leo Hart nett has spent on this earth.
 Not So Bad
 Three times this season Manager Bill Terry of the Giants has called on Hartntt to 90 up there in the clutch and pinch hit. He singled once, doubled once and drove an outf1elder all the way to the fence to haul down the ball on his third attempt. That gives him e cool 667 batting average and probably gives nightmares to the man who cut Gabby loose as manager of the Cubs last fall-Owner Phil Wrig- ley.
 Hartnett always has been @ popu- lar player here and he is fast be- coming the idol of the faithful at the Polo Grounds. In addition to

knocking out hits regularly, he has given color and dash to a ball club that can use 1t like a taxpayer can use money on March l6.
 In Brooklyn, where the Giants are hated like @ small pox epidemic, Hartentt is straight-eight, super special, seventeen jewel bum. It so happens that all of his pinch hits have been made against the Dodgers and if he is ever caught on Q Brooklyn street after dark he will be arrested for high crimes and mis- demeanors, not to mention assault and battery.
 These are great days for old Gabby and great days for his old friends who are so numerous that you would have to hire the Grand canyon if you wanted to as- semble them in one place. It seem- ed he had come to the end of the road on the November day last year when Wrigley called him in and told him he was through. Not Through Yet
 T want to stay in baseball if I can," Gabby said after he got the bad news, But this is the first time in 20 years I have been out of c job and I don't know much about hunting another one."
 Until he came to the Giants. Gabby had done all his major league playing for the Cubs. He came up from Worcester, Mass, in 1922, and much to his surprise found himself catching the great Grover Cleveland Alexander in the seasons opening game against the Cincinnati Reds. If you think he was nervous, listen to this story:
 A reporter asked If this was the first major league game he had ever caught.
 Hell" said oabby, laughing until he bent double, "this is the first major league game I ever saw"
 From that day he was the Cubs regular catcher, going olng the years laughing off troubles that included the loss of his job and the thing ball players fear most of all - ad- vancing age.
 At 40 he's still grinning at the world and If you hear distant rumblings throughout the summer that will be Old Gabby laughing his head of as he bangs a double against the fence in the clutch.

BY GEORGE KYRKsEY United Press Stan Correspondent)

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Cleveland. April 22.-(UP)-The Cleveland Indians were rained out yesterday but 1t wasn't c day of rest for them. Their idle time only gave them more opportunity to reflect on those terrible Yankees who are al- ready breathing on their neclss.
 The Indians are almost unanimous in the opinion that the Tanks are the club they1l have to beat to win the flag. How tough the Tribes job may be Is suggested by the results ot the last two days. The Tanks, just warming to their task, have belted out 35 hits good for 8 runs. Some ball clubs don't make that many runs in Q week.
 With jolting Joe DiMaggio slam ming out Q homer, double and two singles, the Tanks crushed the Athletics yesterday, i4-4. The day before they put 1925 crusher on the As. To make the Tanks cause look even brighter, Alley Donald, a question mark all spring, came through with 6 flve-hit pitching job. Donald was the only Yankee player who didn't get at least one hit.
 With three in Q row, the Tanks have climbed into third place only . game back of the league leading Red Sox and few percentage points behind the second-place Indians who up to now have been thriving largely on their great pitching.
 Red Sox Shaded
 Steve Sundra, ex-Yankee, pitched Washington to Q 6-5 triumph over the Red sox. handing the Yawkey- men their first setback of the season. The Red Sox closed fast with two runs in both the eighth and ninth and left the tying run stranded on base. The Senators knocelsd Jack Wilson out of the box in the sixth with @ four-run rally featuring four straight hits by Lewis, Travis, Ar- chic and Bloodworth.
 With the score tied In the eighth, Joe Orengo doubled Harry Danning home with the important run in the Giants 7-5 triumph over the Dodgers. Kirby Higbe went the route for the Dodgers, and lost his second straight game. He allowed seven hits, walked six and wild pitched @ run home.
 Terrell Starr
 The Boston Bees climbed into a third place tie with the Dodgers by knocking of the Phillies, e-l. Yves Terrell, veteran pitcher staging c comeback, held the Phils to five scattered hits. Joe Marty hit a homer of him to open the game but he held the phils In complete check thereafter.
 No other games were played.
 YESTERDAYS HER0-Joe Di- Maggie, Yankee powerhouse, who hit a homer, Q double and two sin- sles, scored three runs and drove in two in the Tanks 14-4 victory over the Athletics.
