 In his haste to build, MacPhail naturally has made mistakes.
 Nashville got $40,o00 for Outfield. or Charley Gilbert, whom competent judges say never will be a big league hitter.
 The impatient Macphail gave the Browns s25,0o0 for Mel Armada, though Fred Haney told the Mad Genius of the dowanus the Mexi- can wouldn't help the Dodgers. Macphail paid the Cardinals $3S,- 900 for Mickey owen. Milwaukee banked $25,000 for Whitlow Wyatt, the Red Sox and Browns on equal amount for Joe vosmik and Joe Gallagher.

Macphail's intense and extensive operations paid rich dividends.
 The Dodgers can't miss playing to nearly 100000 paid admissions at home for the third straight year. DOESN'T LET BASEBALL
 SHUTTLE FDR ITSELF
 MacPhail has met the interest and claims to have paid off most of the $500 0O0 held by the bank in mortgages and notes when he took charge.
 And he has ball club with an excellent chance of winning Brook lyns first pennant in 2l years.
 MacPhail says the Brooklyn Dodgers will be returned to the stockholders in l942.
 The owners really have solne- thing, especially if they keep Mac Phail in the front office, where he spends little time.
 Dynamic. restless, aggressive, red- haired and freckled Larry Mac Phail doesn't sit around and let baseball shuttle for itself, with 40- year-old and outmoded methods.

Can't Buy Flag! They Say, But That Doesn't Stop MacP Phail From Trying
Loquoeous Larry Handles Bonkers Like Owen Nurses Brooklyn Pitchers
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

John J. Mcdraw was pretty good ct 1t 20 years ago, but with the ad- vent of the chain store system base ball men generally agreed that pur- chasing material for a major league pennant winner was no longer pos- sihle.
 It had to be developed, they con- tended.
 Thomas Austin Yawkey of the Red Sox spent $l,500,000 before he was convinced of the truth of this,
 But that isn't stopping Leland Stanford MacPhail from trying.
 Baseball's Idea man has put out something like $i50,000 for ball players in four years.
 He gave the Cardinals $i25,000 for Joe Medwick and Curt Davis, the Phillies $loo,000 for Kirby Hig-

DODGERS URGE
 CLUBS TO DON CAP HELMETS
Other Teams in National Expected to Adopt
 Plastic Gear
BY PAUL sCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

NSAssSSs4 . ASDD SVuSAA SWAsVBRvhheh0hbWB
 New York, May 15-(Up)-When the baseball averages are reckoned up at the end of this season, ie4i will go down as the year in which helmets became Q part of c major league bell players equipment.
 Larry MacPhail, head of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Ford Prick, president of the National League, spearheaded an early drive to have all players in their circuit equipped with the protective coverings and by mid-season they expect to have every club in the senior league wearing the new caps.
 The list of major league ball players who have received head In. juries by being struck with q ball reads like 6 Who's Who" of the diamond. MacPhail intensified the search for practical protection a year ago after two of Brooklyn's outstanding players, PeeWee Reese and Joe Medwick, were "beaned."
 Cap Is Plastic Lined
 Head protectors are the biggest thing that has happened to the game since night baseball" declares MacPhail. The Dodgers used e plastic-lined cap developed by pr. Walter D. Dandy, brain specialist ct Johns Hopkins hospital in Balti- more, during the spring training season and have continued It's use.
 If the acceptance Of the caps needed any added impetus this year, that need was more than All- ed when center fielder Pete Reiser of the Dodgers was feiled by c pitch late in April. The ball hit Reiser near the bottom of the new cap he was wearing, close to his cheekbone, and both Prick and MacPhail are convinced that the cap saved Reiser from fractured skull.
 Little Weight Added
 Helmets projected heretofore usually have been both cuinber- some and conspicuous, which was the players chief objections to their adoption. But the latest devices have become neat and inconspicu- ous and differ little in weight and At from an ordinary cap.
 The protector is made of q trans parent plastic that is sewed into the cap permanently and can be worn on the field as well aS at bat. It's been suggested that pitchers, with full knowledge that a batter b protected by the new cap, will be encouraged to loose more bean balls and clusters" ct players.
 Prick believes, however, that e , pitcher who uses e bean ball aS part of his equipment will do 50, no matter what batter Is wearing. while Q pitcher that doesn't believe in cracking craniums will not take 1t up now because of the elimina- ton of possible injuries.

Middletown, Conn.,, May l5-(UP) Yale university's baseball lteam, behind the six-hit pitching of Dick Ames, had no trouble in overwhelm- ing the Wesleyan university nine, l2 to 3, here yesterday.

 Storrs, Conn, May 15-(UP)- Rhode Island States baseball team defeated the University of Connecti- cut nine without difficulty, Il to 2. here yesterday.
 The Rams connected for 10 hits. while Connecticut only gained seven of Tanner.

never acknowledged the applause; never lifted his head or his cap. He shuffled past third base, past the Cubs dugout and then dropped his shoulders e little as he ducked through the door leading to the dressing room.
 When he dropped his shoulders the weight of his frame fell from them. You didn't know 1t then, but actually that afternoon was the end of Old Diz as Q great pitcher. Deep in his heart he knew 1t, and all the applause in the world couldn't salve the hurt that was down inside of him.

MacPhail considers $i5,o00 pin money when there Is room on the Flatbush roster for on available athlete. The Yankees got $i5,000 apiece for Vito Tamulis and Kemp Wicker, the Tigers Q like amount for Dixie Walker.
 In addition to the money spent for players, MacPhail stuck 10000 Into . lighting system.
 COMBINATION TICKETS SOLD TO LAND HIGBE
 Handling directors of the ultra conservative Brooklyn Trust Co., the loquacious and persuasive Mac- Phail Is credited with the most val- uabie assists made by any member of the Dodger party.
 He's handled hard-headed bank CTS like catcher Owen nurses his pitchers.
 MacPhail put 1t out even to the extent of raising the $l00,000 for Pitcher Higbe by the sale of com bination tickets for night, Sunday and holiday dates.
 Due to the old row between the Ebbets and McKeever factions, Brooklyn, potentially one of the fl- nest franchises, was in a sorry flX when MacPhail entered the picture In 1888.

Perhaps 25,OOO to $4,000 people

On top of this general resettle-

of migratory labor, which is an
other FSA baby that has to have
its nursing formula changed by

migrations from Rio Grande to the

MAKE THE SERVICE MAN
FEEL AT HOME
Exeter Sum


Our young men who are leaving for
army camps do so with mingled emotions.
They are going out into an unknown
world and know not what their eXper-
fences will be.
We give these boys a good send-off
just before they leave and make them
feel that we appreciate what they are
doing for us, but in many cases the re-
action of the young man is that 1t is
really very, very serious affair and
that he may be called upon to defend his
country with his life.
The recruit reaches camp and in few
DAYS finds that aside from routine hard
work that his station in life is just like
that of thousands of others and aside
from homesickness, he is satisfied with
his lot.
What we started out to say is that
when this boy comes home on a few days
leave we should not shy off from uni
form, but walk up and give him the glad
hand that will make him continue to feel
that we appreciate what he is doing for
us. Too many people pass these boys by
with Just a nod.
The average citizen has not been ac-
cuStomed to seeing men in uniform for so
many years that they are now shy and
feel self-consciOus about stopping and
talking to the man IN uniform as was the
rookie the first few days he found him
self dressed in the regulation garments.
Once again We say, it is our duty to
greet the soldier boy on leave Stop and
talk with him, ask him about his eXper-
ience; tell him you are glad to see him
and if you know any home boys that are
stationed in camps near his own, tell him
so that he may get in touch with his
friends when off duty.

BRlTAIN'S ALLIES

Is it Britain alone that is fighting off
the bone-crushing might OF the German
military machine?
No. There are allies in this war, though
most of them are Men Without Country
for the moment Observe:
The Poles have a complete division in
the field, guarding an important section
of the Scottish coast. The Morse have
comparatively small but splendid body of
men in England. Several battalions of
Czechs are serving, and the Dutch and
Belgians have their units. The Free
French camp is really a replacement
center, new arrivals being sent off to the
De Gaule Free French forces as fast as
they are equipped. The Greeks who es-
capped are rapidly being reorganized.
All of these forces are constantly grow
ing, though none is very large yet. New
recruits, escaped from the native land,
or volunteering from some country yet
free, are continually being added.
They are not numerous enough to be
great military factor But each is nue.

such a determined nucleus is the pre-
requisite for any country that aims to

slim pickings from the new literary

anyway, with almost nothing com

plays than ever before and have
bid them in at generally higher

It's likely, though, if precedent

maybe $4,000 or S25 900. Look at

MIGHTY SMALL SAFETY IN
NON-AGGRESSION TREATIES

Turkey is reported to have signed
non-aggression treaty with the Germans.
Well, we'll. Now the Turks may SIT
back and relax in the smoke of the Turk
ish pipe-dream that has turned to
nightmare for so many others. For in
stance, these others:
POLAND, which signed non-aggress-
ion pact with Germany on Jan. 26, 1884,
and was invaded by Germany Sept. l,
1899.
ESTONIA, L A TV A, LITHUANlA.
They signed non-aggression treaties with
Russia April 4, 1884. They were bodily
taken over by Russia June 10, 1910.
FINLAND, which signed a non-aggress-
ion treaty with Russia April Z, 1884, was
invaded by Russia Nov. %, 1889.
DENMARK, which signed non-ag-
gression pact with Germany May 81, 1889,
and was swallowed up by Germany April
9, 1910, just a few days more than
year later.
The signing of a non-aggresson treaty
with an Axis power has become, within
the last few years, the political equiva-
lent of a marriage to Bluebeard, and II
Turkey enters the Axis harenl, it might
do we'll to glance sideways at the bones
of those who have gone before.
One of the worst things about this war
is the monumental hypocrisy of it. Nom
aggression pacts, sacred promises not to
invade or attack one another, followed
swiftly by the very attacks forsworn.
Protective custody" as term for i'm
prisonment or worse without trial. Con
traband" as applied to brassieres and
bootjacks. "Co-operation in co-prosperlty
sphere" for abject surrender of all inde-
pendence "Co-ordination" for enslave-
ment. THE New Order" for the Oldest OF
old orders, the personal autocracy and
oligarchic domination which Europe
thought it had at last spewed forth after
thousands of years.
Non-aggression indeed! BY the time
the ink on the pact is dry, Turkey had
better look carefully to see that its powd-
er is the same.
