either. The club admits another
trade will be necessary, probably,
to make it a pennant winner. May
be it can get Billy Herman from
the Cubs. Maybe it can't. The
pitching staff is surpassed only by
the Reds and Joe MedWick ap-
pears to be the firecracker he was
four and five years ago.
Cards Look to Rockies.
St. Louis-The Cardinals are de-
pending heavily on rockies. This
usually is hazardous for a team with
its eye on a pennant. Also Manager
Billy Southworth, who took the reins
in midseason last year, hasn't been
able to make up his mind on his
infeld. The club has had whirl-
wind finishes the last two seasons
and quite possibly will have one
this year. But it can't afford to
spend half season tuning up.
Chicago-The Cubs were plagued
by injuries last year and by gen.
orally slipshod management from
the front office right out to the dia-
mond. They have refurbished them
selves with a new general manager,
Jim Gallagher; new field manager,
Jim Wilson, one of the smartest in
the business, and with new material.
notably Outfielder Lou Novikoff and
Infielders Lou Stringer and Billy
Myers. They still are short on
pitching and catching.
Pittsburgh-The Pirates have
everything except pitching and sta
bility, which means they lack a lot.
They barely beat out the Cubs for
the first division last year and while
Chicago has improved, Pittsburgh
has not.
Giants Are Sinking.
Boston-The Bees are a young
team, weak in catching, but well
fixed otherwise and full of fire.
Their pitching is better and the kids
are year older.
New York-The Giants are a
proud ship that is sinking. They
added Pitcher Bob Bowman and
Third Baseman Joe Orengo during
the winter, but still are depending
on veterans like Mel OFT, Carl Hub
bell, Hal Schumacher and other
heroes of bygone day. Shortstop
Bill Jurges, seriously beaned last
June, still is question mark.
Philadelphia-The Phillies fin-
iShed in the cellar by 1914 games
last year. Since then they have sold
Higbe and lost Pitcher Hagh Null
cahy in the Army draft. It's a good
thing this is the last stop.

Whitley passed Charley Gehringer

BOSTON, April 12-His old team
mates, the Red Sox, put an abrupt
stop to the comeback attempt of
Wesley Ferren today by banging his
offerings for seven hits in three
innings to take an 11-6 verdict from
the Bees in the intra-city series.
A five-run cluster in the third
inning was just enough to provide
the margin of victory in free
hitting contest.
Ferrell, until then, had been going
well, yielding one run in the first. In
the fatal third he mixed three passes
with a triple by Manager Joe Cronin
and doubles by Sammy Hale, Frank
Pytlak and Lou Finney to help the
Red Sox sew up the ball game.

tual winner, and Cleveland and New
York.
Makeup of Clubs Attractive.
One reason I think a new attend
ance figure may be set this season
is based on the makeup of the vari-
Gus clubs. Cleveland, with new
manager, figures to be in the thick
of the battle. New York'S rookie in
field stars, Phil RiZutto and Gerry
Priddy, plus the experiment of shift
ing Joe Gordon from second to first
base, will make the Yankees closely
watched team.
Detroit has the power to be
dangerous all the way and I have
heard many predictions that Charley
Gehringer, the Tigers fine veteran
second baSeman, is headed for a
great season. Improved pitching
could put Boston in the fight, while
Chicago and St. Louis should have
better clubs. The st. Louis team
may be one of the surprises of the
year. Washington and Philadelphia
have been showing strength in their
exhibition contests.
Not Worried by Draft.
The national defense program,
giving employment to thousands of
persons, will help the game, for I
think more persons than ever will
turn to baseball as a recreational
outlet. I don't believe the draft will
have any marked effect on the game
in general. A few stars may be
called, but new material will come
up to fill the positions-and base
ball fans always are interested in
new players.
Again we will have 35 night games,
with Washington coming into the
after-dark setup for the first time.
And with many persons unable to
attend day contests, our night at
tendance showing should be one OF
the bright spots of our program.
For many years the fans loyalty
have supported our league, and club
owners, players and executives of
our circuit will do everything in
their power to merit support again
this year with an interesting, hard
fought race.

PM COOPERATES
WITH UNION

New York City-A precedent
in labor journalism was set here
with an AFL union published a
4O-page paper with the coopera-
tion of a metropolitan daily.
Partners in the unique venture
were Local 3 of the Information
al Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and the newspaper PM.
The product, a special strike
edition of the Electrical Union
World, was in the formal of
PM.
Bulk of the issue was a 90
page story of the unions 10
month strike against the Leviton
Mfg. Co. in the slum-factory Sec
tion of Brooklyn. The story
was written by Charles Yale
Harrison, the unions publicity
director, and was abundantly
illustrated with photos that PM
had used in it's famous stories of
the strike.

from gong up any ldTLHcT, IL
ought to keep wages from going
up.
But there is an interesting
thing about prices that was miss
ed entirely in his comment. An
employe working at full time be-
fore the defense production pro-
gram began gets no more after
it starts, if his wages remain the
same. But prices can remain the
same, and the owners get a
whole lot more in profits, de-
pending on the amount of pro-
duction. 1t is not wages and
prices that fit together in any
freezing" program. 1t is wages
and profits.
For example, company or in
dustry is running to half of it's
capacity or two-thirds capacity
at certain price. 1t is paying
it's interest and taxes and put
ting money aside for deprecia-
ton, and it is paying, say 81
a year on it's common stock. Sud-
denly it gets government orders
directly or indirectly-which put
it on 100 per cent production.
It's cost per unit of output is
now less and is so much less on
so much more goods that the
wages of capital stock may go up
from So to $40 a share.
In that situation, labor gains
through getting more work and
therefore as a body gets more
money. But many individual en-
ployes may have no more work
now than formerly. So they
gain nothing. But the stock
holders all gain a great deal, and
gain it without any increase in
prices at all.
For the wages of capital to be
frozen would mean not freezing
prices, but melting them down,
namely, reducing them.
There is a relation between
wages and prices, of course. But
it is not the relation this man
was talking about. He was not
talking about prices going up so
much higher than wage increases
would be eaten up. He was
thinking in terms of profits and
he did not want the wages of
labor to cut into the wages of
capital. But he spoke of prices.
1t looked on the surface like a
reasonable thing to hold. But
actually it missed the real point
of our economic set-up and CEN
tral crisis in our generation. For
the few would be getting too
much, the masses of the people
would not be sharing fairly in
our increasing wealth, and prices
and incomes would not be used
to end unemployment.
Remember that there are still
four or five million out of work.
Remember, too, that we have to
prepare now for the Great Un-
employment that will come when
the war ends. Big profits for
the few are bad both from the
point of view of present unem-
ployment and of future unem-
ployment.
