Another Hot Match

With Williams and DiMaggio grab
bing off most of the wild laurel
sprigs in the American league, you
can look for another hot scramble
in the N. L. between Pete Reiser of
the Dodgers and Johnny Mize of the
Cardinals.
It might interest you to know, If
you care for the succulent statistics
in baseball, that Johnny Mics five
year average with the Cardinals is
now 1899 up through 1940-just four
points below DiMaggio's mark for
the same span.
Big John is one Of the top hitters
of his time. Ball players through
the South this last spring all picked
him as the best hitter in the older
league. Mize halls from Demarest,
Ca, mot so far away from ROyston
where Ty Cobb spent his younger
years. Ever notice how most of the
top ones come from the unsung
hamlets--not from the big t0wns?)
Mize has freshman challenger in
Brooklyn's Pete Reiser, who in his
first year on big time has been
whacking away between $50 and
$40 most of the season.
Pete Reiser Is the BAN player
named by Leo Durocher as the
ssnext ny Cobb-prOvided there win
ever be another Ty Cobb. Reiser is
1856 pounds Of speed, power, head
and heart" according to Durocher's
estimate.
Reiser is now just q. Don't for
get that when Tyrus Raymond was

But from there on he finished with
lifetime average of 1857 for "a
years-and that, my fellow country
men, is something to shoot at.
But for all that, the stretch duels
between Williams and DiMaggio,
Mize and Reiser, win add consid-
erably to the general public interest

else beats them out? What Of it?

DEFENSE INCIDENTS

Out of rs major incidents of dam
age" In defense plants last month,
military intelligence authorities
have evidence that IA were caused
by sabotage. The other ~ were ac-
cidents.
: OF the ia sabotage eases, four
were fires and 10 were mechanical
damage. Two are attributed to
Communists; the others to Nazi
agents. There Is no indication that
Communists and Nazis worked to-
gether.
Since the outbreak of the Russo
German war, the Communist party
line has somersaulted. The current
dictum is, no intereference with de-
Tense output. It is significant that
since the Nazi attack on the Soviets
there has been sharp decline in
strikes. D
However, intelligence agents re-
port that the party has made no
change in its policy of propaganda
ing soldiers and sailors. This is be-
ing pushed as vigorously as before,
although with little success. In fact,
party generals are so dissatisfied
with results that they recently or
dered labor unions dominated by
Communists to help their campaign
by offering their halls as soldier rec
reation centers. s
Japanese Consulates.
Another significant development
In subversive influences relates to
the Japanese.
Since the expulsion Of the Nazi
and Italian consulates, intelligence
officers have found that the Japa-
nese consulates in Los Angeles and
Seattle have become the chief clear
ing houses for espionage on the West
coast. Japanese residents are send
ing in constant stream of reports
on airplane production, ship move
ments and other military informa-
ton.
The recent arrest of two Japanese
spies in Los Angeles caused furry
in Japanese quarters, and num-
Der Of Japanese rushed to Wash
ington, apparently to place them
selves under the protection of their
embassy. Others hotfooted for Mex
leo, which may mean they are plan
ming to shift spy headquarters to

SECRET NEW AAA GEAR

American Farm bureau and Ma
tional Grange moguls are smart pol
iticians. Although their bill to Gre
ate an Independent, five-man board
to rule the AAA has not yet seen
the light Of day on Capitol Hill,
they are already greasing the way
by canny wooing of possible oppo-
nents.
Latest to be "propositioned'' is
Rudolph ("Spike") Evans, ambi-
tious head of the AAA, who might
be vigorous foe of their scheme
to gain control of his own agency.
The farm leaders have sent word to
Evans that they will back him for
/ chairman of their proposed board If
he win 60 along with them.
An inner group of II decided on
this move at a secret pow-wow dur
ing the recent conference in Chi
cago Of the Farm bureau, Grange
and National Coop council on the
defense emergency.
The master minds also accepted
Walter. Randolph Of Alabama as the
Farm bureaus selection on the
boards, pledged themselves to take
whomever the Grange picked, and
agreed to allow this hand-picked trio
to name the other two board MEM
bers.
The plan is very pat, but the mys-
terry is where Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Claude Wickard fit into the
picture. Under the law the Presi-
dent appoints board members, and
on agricultural selections he natur-
ally would consult Wickard. Appar-
emily, the Grange and Farm bureau
manipulators propose to do the pick
ing and force Roosevelt and Wick
ard to 60 along.
. No Chance.
Actually, the five man board
scheme has no chance of getting
anywhere this year.
Not yet even introduced, it faces
such long battle when it does APP
pear that months will elapse before
it goes through the committee proc
ess. Further, there are indications
that certain Farm bureau moguls
privately don't want the legislation
considered at all this session.
According to Farm bureau insid-
ers, Earl Smith, Illinois big-gun,
and Francis johnson, Iowa chief,
secretly want to make it a political
issue in next years congressional
election. Militant New Deal foes,
they are said to believe that a lot
of COP campaign hay can be made
in the rural districts by raising the
cry of "give the farmer control of
the AAA."
How much control he would have
is shown by the fact that the boys
already have made sure that they
would do the controlling.

of the United Rubber Workers, is

Looking Back

How do the two compare at this
spot along the pennant road? Here
is DiMaggio's five-year Yankee rec
ord through 1910: 1896 1928; 1887
,346; 1885 1924; 1899 1881; 1910
1852; grand average .343.
Here is Ted Williams record for
his two complete years: 1899 1877;
1910 .344; average 1886.
