the track is claimed to be one of the
most modern in the country. 1t will
be quarter mile long, with
straightaways so feet wide and
turns go feet wide. The latter are

sible for drivers to keep their motors
wide open over the entire course

turns.

track, thus making it the first
speedway in this area which will
be free from dust and dirt.

Might Be Worth More
As PIoyer-Monooer

This theory of the spark plug
of the inspirational manager who
Is more effective on the field than
on the bench-came up a few years
ago in the case of Mickey Cochrane.
You may remember Cochrane's
great record as player-manager:
Two pennants and a world cham
pionship in his first two years at
the Tiller. When Black Mike
sought to bench himself and do his
master -minding as much as possible
from the timber seating facilities
supplied by the club, the Tigers
faltered.
Mr.. Durocher is less nervous than
Cochrane, but not much-and his
zing and pepper on the ball field
are notorious. On the face of 1t, he
would seem to be more valuable as
O player-manager than as a bench
manager.
But that doesn't apply to deep
thinkers, and Leo knows it, and he
will prove himself deep thinker
if he has to wear a collar like Mr..
Mack's.

Durocher Determined
TO Be Deep Thinker
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Snecial Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, April 25 (NA.NA0.
The question of whether man is
smarter sitting down or standing up
is agitating all of Brooklyn these
days
Mr.. Leo Durocher, minority of
one, believes mans brains work
best when the owner assumes a
semi-recumbent position, preferably
on a pine bench. The danger OF
splinters does not bother him.
81 would gladly pick up a few
splinters," says the intrepid manager
of the Dodgers, IF I could pick up
a good idea at the same time"
According to Lippy Leo, there is
no hard and fast rule about the best
position for thinking. Most people
are Just as well off standing on their
feet, But he feels the highest type
of mind-such as Durocher's-is un-
able to do itself justice unless the
thinker gets the weight off his dogs
and lowers himself to half mast.
That's how Leo feels about it. The
rest of Brooklyn diSagrees with great
vioIeOce

Brooklyn Fans Wont
Vertical Durocher

The rest of Brooklyn wants a
vertical thinker-to be specific,
vertical Durocher. They want more
than that. They expect Leo to
think while dashing to right or left,
or leaping into the air, or rolling in
the dirt at second base with some
body's shoe in his mouth. In short,
they want a player manager.
Durocher, to my mind, is mis-
understood. His genius is not ap-
preciated by the Brooklyn fans, nor
by Leland Stanford MacPhail, his
boss.
The other day, when Leo walked
from the coaching line to the bench
for some deep reflection, and care
fully chose the right seat, an admirer
In the grandstand yelled:
why don't you get out there and
play shortstop, lug? You amt
Connie Mack"
A few minutes later, Leo's brain
began to hum like some vast dynamo
Leo Generally Regarded
Mere Regular Hustler
It's no use for Mr.. Durocher to
point out that he doesn't need to
play shortstop, that he already has
a fine shortstop in Peewee Reese.
The fans like Reese, all right, but
they believe Leo should be out there,
inspiring the team with his hustle
SO does Leland Stanford MacPhail.
There you have the great
Durocher tragedy. Leo knows he is
a thinker, like Joe Mccarthy, who
thinks with his legs crossed, or
Connie Mack, who thinks in high
collar. The rest of the world con-
siders him to be a mere vulgar
hustler, a crude shortStop, an un-
couth player manager
II think Durocher should be out
there more" said Mr.. MacPhail
after a recent dodger losing streak,
land I hope he sees it my way
pretty soon. We need Durocher's zip
and punch, and you can't punch
when you're on the seat Of your
pants"
