Chisox Pilot Declares
He'll Be First to Take
His Own Medicine
BY BILL KING.
-ociotad pracs 0ports WIT


BOSTON, Sept. 17-Putting re-
verse English on the futile war
cry of break up the Yankees"
keen-witted Manager Jimmy Dykes
of the Chicago White Sox suggests
that the other seven clubs do some
smashing on their own hooks.
ANY time club finishes 20
or more games behind the lead
er. tear it to ribbons" Jimmy ad-
vises before pointing out, Some
thing must be radically wrong
when they are that far back. They
can't improve of their own accord
unless they shake themselves up
between seasons"
And, since he is casting himself as
a baseball physician, Jamesy is will
ing to take the first taste of his
own prescribed medicine.
Jimmy in Stern Mood.
Il probably will be forced to
undergo an operation on my own
gall bladder within a few months"
Dykes said, but no matter what
they do to me it will be tame to
the cutting I'm going to do on my
White SoX.
Il have become convinced that
it is foolish to waste any more
time with player who fails to
come up to your expectations in two
seasons I have my share of them.
and so has about everybody in the
league except the Yankees.
Il also believe a trade gives a
disappointing player a new lease
on life he continued. II have too
MANY of them. and I'm willing and
eager to talk trades with every
manager in the league.
"All the first division clubs must
make wholesale changes IF they
are going to give the Yankees a
sitter argument in 1942. If they
don't, I'm afraid It will be the
same old story. Clubs that have
failed this year cannot pull them
selves up by their own bootstraps."
With Jamesy in full verbal flight.
it was an easy matter to get him to
express firm opinion on the fail
ings of the current baseballers.
Lack Ambition. He Says.
"Thev don't know when they are
we'll Off" he declared without hesi-
tation. They have too much time
to themselves. Too easy life. I
never saw such a lack of ambition
in any line of business than young
ball players have. Get them out
an hour before the game and what
happens? Why they'll talk about
every subject except baseball their
own livelihood.
Fey of them make any effort TO
improve themselves. They realize
too well that requirements are hard
to find and. as result. thev get
too cocky. They know they'll be
picked up by some other club if
they're released But I am going to
find a way to change them"
Before bowling out for New York
to engage the Yankees, Dykes also
took a parting shot at some of his
rival managers, probably to softer
them up for the rapidly approaching
off season.
Too many of them are afraid
some bust will come up with a good
season for somebody else if thev
trade him. with the result they hang
onto him for years. It's time We
made some changes and I'll make
them with any one"

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.
Sept. 17.-There's no denying the
fact that Andy Farkas is ''loner."
In contrast 10 other Redskins who
form groups for bridge gin rummy.
movie parties or just plain bull
sessions, Farkas invariably can be
found bv himself-writing letters or
postcards or reading. More serious
minded than any pro football player
we've ever met-and one of the most
conScientious-Andy wouldn't be
called the most popular man on the
team by any means.
And so, when opinion formed
among the Redskins that Andy was
'dogging it" in practice last week,
the little Hungarian was bereft of
friends more than ever. We believed
Farkas when he told us that he
wanted to play this year more than
anything else, and we agreed with
him when he said he didn't think he
should be made to jeopardize his
legs by working out with the team
before he felt ready to go again.
Cheers Cheer Andy.
So it was with unconcealed Joy
yesterday that Andy heard, after
almost two weeks of complete ST.
lence. the old familiar cries of
"Attaboy. Andy" Nice goin'. Farkas,
old boy" That's the way to go.
boy" Because, for the first time
since he was hurt in the instrasquad
game at San Diego on September s,
Farkas was sent into a scrimmage,
and the way he tore through a
pretty formidable line in his old
style was a treat.
It's not too far fetched to say that
Andy may have saved the Redskins
from working out again yesterday
afternoon. for prior to his insertion
in the offensive team, Coach Ray
Flaherty was thoroughly disgusted
with the manner in which the prac-
tice was going. Rockies didn't know

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Ire
member Oscar Witt? He's the fell
low who managed Cleveland to
within a game of the American
League pennant last year and got
kicked out of big time baseball for
his pains.
Some of his players banded to-
gether and complained to the head
Office his managerial tactics were
too vigorous for their constitutions.
Witt always has been manager
who plays for keeps. He is not a
lily glider. He uses he-man Ian
guage when he thinks his under
lings are guilty of bonehead plays.
Wits head dropped into the bas-
ket after the blowoff. He's in a
position now to laugh up his sleeve,
or out loud for that matter. At this
time Cleveland is a low-gear fourth
in the pennant drive, game and a
half ahead of Detroit. 1t may finish
in the second division.
Unable to Explain II.
Vindicated Witt won't take ad-
vantage of his position to even say:
Il told you So" He feels sorry for
the Indians who played under him a
year ago and the manager who sue
ceeded him, Roger Peckinpaugh.
Asked what he thought was wrong
with the Cleveland club, Witt re-
piled. Il guess 1t is one of those
things which defy explanation. They
don't seem to have it. Individually
the team has some great players
They're certainly not clicking to-
gether They took a riding again
this season. That kind of stuff is
bound to get under the skin of any
body.
Actually when the season started
thought Cleveland would be up
there fighting all the way. I picked
the Yankees as the team to beat
but thought the Indians would be
making it tough.
Il think Cleveland had a better
balanced club this year than I had
last season. Last year we didn't
have the services of couple of good
relief pitchers like Clint Brown and
Joe Heving. They picked up Gene
Desautels to add to the catching
strength. It doesn't make sense.
