Schultz Says Di Maggie
Is Better Thon Cobb

What did Cobb have?" said the
coach. Speed. fine hitter, good
fielder, just a fair thrower. This
Di Maggie hits just as often and
harder-no scratches, no infield hits
and leg hits, the kind of stuff that
built up Cobb's average. He's just
as fast, a better fielder and a much
better thrower. I think he's got Ty
beat"
If you can judge ballplayers by
the terms OF a technical catalogue
like that, maybe Di Maggie does
have the Peach beat. But there is
nothing in the catalogue that weighs
the zeal and vigor and instincts and
baseball brains of a man, the way he
talks, thinks and fights, or the way
he looks, or his effect on the enemy.
Cobb had the look of genius on the
field and he demoralized the enemy.
I think he was baseball's great nat
ural phenomenon just as surely as
Chaplin was the great natural phe-
nomenon of the motion picture
screen.
Still, that Di Maggie is quite an
operative. Mr.. Cobb admits it, and
Mr., Cobb has never said anything
TO belittle Mr.. Cobb.

But I believe he was better hitter

Now this Di Maggie" continued
Mr. Cobb, I know him pretty we'll
I mean I've seen quite bit of him
on the coast. He can be a better
hitter than Sisler, all streak records
apart. His eyes and form are Just
as good, and he's got the power to
break up ball games. Sisler was a

L have gone the full limit of my

eign policy of the administration
because of my great desire for
national unity. I have wanted to
see America stand united before
the world as the friend of all who
fight for liberty: the deSpiser of all
aggresSorS and despoilers of the
democratic way.
Many members of congress who
believe in the objecuveS OF the
measure are sincerely disturbed
about its broad grant of powers. l
urge the majority to examine with
these men every provision in the
spirit of eandor and sincerity TO
see if the bills true objective can
not be accomplished and yet elimi-
nate any unnecessary authority.
You OF the majority do not need
votes to pass this bill. But their
approval and the approval OF the
millions of Americans whom they
represent will give to us the strength
of a united people-a strength
greater than that of armament,
battleshipS or alrplanes.
Willkie turned down suggestions
that congress provide billions OF
dollars in credits because. he said,
he did not feel that credits alone
can provide the effective, immed-
late aid that I refer to-
The problem is rather the i'm
mediate disposition OF certain
equipment" he continued. Much
of this equipment cannot be pur-
chased at any price because the
owner is the United states govern
ment. 1t would also seem that under
the domestic laws at present III
force. the United States is unable
TO deliver such equipment to bel

lengthy subterfuge.
He suggested that the United
States provide Britain with addl-

the strain on her supply lines.
If we are to adopt policy OF
aid to Britain. it is above all neces-
sary to make that ala effective,
he said TO render ineffective aid
would be disastrous. Ineffective aia
would give Hitler just as good a
pretext against us as effective aid.
But if our aid is ineffective, Britain
may go down.
Arguing against isolationiSt con-
tentions that the United States,
while building up her own defenses
should not concern herself with
anyone beyond our shores, Willkie
said he believed that such policy
will inevitably result in the de-
struction OF our civil liberties, the
