cupied by a teammate.
Here and there a gray-bearedef
codger, who remembered the gOO6
old days when Mungo was fined
$1,000 a lick, complained about the
paltry $500 that he got stuck fo'
breaking training this year. Bu'
with most of the fans it was the
principle of the thing, not the
money. Good old Mungo wasn't
letting them down and that's all
that mattered.
What warmed the hearts of the
fans was the direct approach tech
nique that Mungo used in break
ing training None of this subtle
stuff of staging a celebration in the
privacy of a hotel room. Mungo
simply stepped into the bar of the
Nacional hotel in Havana, made q
sweeping gesture with his pitching
arm and called for drinks for eV-
erybody in the Mungo in
cluded. Among the interested spec
tators were Manager Durocher and
Coach Charley Dresser, who took
sasparilla and umbrage.
Suspended and fined Mungo has
been doing penance with the Mon
treal club of the International
league. Then, with all the fury and
suddenness of a rainstorm breaking
on a Sunday afternoon when a
doubleheader was scheduled, NC
Phail sent a telegram to Durocher
announcing that Mungo had been
reinstated and was en- route to
the family fireside.
Durocher, chin deep in plans for
a pitching staff that did not nee
essarily include Mr.. Mungo. blew
higher than a rookie southpaW
with men on base and Mize at bat.
IF I ever catch Mungo taking
q drink again, either he leaves
the ball club or l resign" Durocher
said in the first communiuue of a
war that threatens to continue all
summer.
Yes, spring has come to Brooklyn
the faithful are gathering at the
ticket windows and alls right with

danger of the Brooklyn Dodgers
getting into a rut passed today
and the news of each new quarrel
on the club broadened the smiles
of the fan of Flatbush.
For a few tense days this spring
it seemed that the Dodgers were
going to let the customers down
and turn into a Well-behaved group
OF athletes, sending out waves of
sweetness and light. 1t looked des-
perately like Manager Leo Durocher
and General Manager Larry Nc
Phail were going through spring
training without controversy, and
Pitcher Van MUngo was so we'll
behaved that there seemed only one
chance in million that he would
fall against a door knob and come
uD with one of his classic sinners
But the dark days have passed
Robins wheeled and tWittered above
Ebbets field today; sunshine turned
the sludgy GoWanus canal into a
shining river of optimism: the
tough guys in Greenpoint slapped
che another on the back without
benefit Of brass knuckles.
The Dodgers are fighting among
themselves and spring has come
to Brooklyn. No spring can be Of
ficial across the Brooklyn bridge
until Mungo has been suspended
fined and reinstated That formality
has been taken care of now, and
most Of the Flatbush fans would
have been satisfied TO open the
season week from today without
any additional fireworks.
But, 10 and behold, their cup of
JOY was filled 10 overfloWing when
they learned that Durocher and
McPhail we're in controversy.
Some Of the more optimistic of the
Flatbush fans even expressed a
cautious opinion that this years
team had a chance TO equal the
classic outfit that featured Babe
Herman-only big league outfielder
ever TO be struck on the head by
a ball while attempting to catch

that Reedley hadn't won a football

This year the football team miss

hands down 1t looks like we're
due for another good year next
season Hanson said, because there
are plenty of lettermen back.
That's our success story for the
day.
John Mcintyre. Brawley track
mentor, recently wrote an article
on physical education and national
defense for the California Teachers
association magazine. 1t appears
that John has been concealing his
literary arts.
While on the subject Of track,
the new scoring system to separate
the varsity, B and c divisions, will
benefit the athletes in one respect.
1t will mean the breaking up OF
varsity, B and c track achievements
into three stories after the county
meet and will thereby give the
smaller athletes more recognition
in print. =.
The l94l county track and field
meet will probably provide more
entertainment from outstanding
individual performers than in many
seasons. Brawley has John
Williams, who is a cinch for firsts
in the 100 yard dash. the 900 broad
jump and high jump. . He can
only compete in three of the
events, however, and will pick the
ones he is most certain to win.

attack but help must come from
some other direction too II the
Indians hope to match the Yanks

second base combination OF Bou-
dreau and Mack is another one OF
the clubs strong departments.
Frankly, the Tigers cause looks
hopeless, with or without Green
berg. With Greenberg the Ilgers
can generate a lot of power but
the team still looks shoddy de-
fensively and the pitching certain
ly is no better than a year ago.
Rowe and Bridges may not be as
good. and Corsica and Newhouser
may not yet be ready to replace
them.
The Red Sox have made some
progress toward improving their
pitching staff but they have other
problems which are likely to keep
them out of the serious contender
class. Frankie Pytlak probably will
help their catching out Jim Tabor'S
department. Ted Williams broken
ankle and Joe Cronin's age COM
bine to keep them from making a
serious pennant battle. However,
the Red Sox' chances look better
than the defending champions.
AS usual the White SoX are un-
practicable. Tney always play bet
ter than they look on paper but
they seemed doomed to second div
ision. The Browns may furnish a
surprise. If they get any pitching
from the veterans they bought dur
ing the winter (Allen, Caster, Gale
house, Ostermueller, they can lead
the second division.
Washington will have to battle
to save seventh place with Buddy
Lewis heading for the army any
day now. The Athletics haven't
shown anything to indicate that
they can do more than throw
couple of scares into the Senators.
