SPEAKING OF
SPORTS
By ROBERT MeSHANE
s.I.o..s BY Western H.~,pop. U.'o.

IN SELECTING Joe DiMaggio as
the American leagues most valu-
able player for 194l, the Baseball
Writers Association of America hon.
ored an athlete whose name will be
remembered as long as baseball is
played.
The smuggling outfielder for the
New York Yankees, who set the
baseball world on fire with record
string Of hits in Sc consecutive
games last season, was similarly
honored in 1899. Last years most
valuable player was not in the rum
ming for this years award. Hank
Greenberg Of the Detroit Tigers,
first choice of the writer's in 1910,
spent most Of the 1871 season in the
army and had no opportunity to re-
peat.
During his six-year career with
the Yankees, Joe never has hit low
er than 1923, never has totaled less
than 20 home runs and never has
batted in fewer than lbs runs. He
batted 1857 in 1879 games in l94l.
His consecutive hitting streak this
season started May Is with single
off Edgar Smith of the Chicago
White Sox and continued until July
10 when the string was broken by
Cleveland Pitchers Al Smith and
Jim Bagby.
The selection wasn't 4 simple
matter. After all, Bob Feller's Is
pitching victories for the Cleveland
Indians were high in the league.
Boston's Ted williams outstripped
Cecil Travis Of Washington, his
nearest rival for the batting title,
by Al points. williams hit .406.
Fifteen of the "a committeeman
for the baseball writer's cast first
place votes for Joe and the other
nine approved him for second. Eight
committeeman nominated Williams
for first, IA for second and two for
third. Teller was named by IA for
third place, six for fourth, one for
fifth, two for sixth and one for sew
enth.
DiMaggio played for the San
Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast
league for three full seasons and
part of 1882. He was sold to the
Yankees for SIS, 900 and five players
in 1894 but did not join the New
York club until two years later.
He has been a member Of the Amer
lean league All-Star game squad
every year since he came to the
majors.
Though the price paid for Joe
wasn't peanuts, the Yankees con-
slider it one of the best investments
ever made by the club. His value
to the world champions can't be
measured solely by statistics. His
56-game hitting streak meant a
great deal more than is evidenced
by the record book.

HOW TO DELIVER A STRAIGHT
BALL-The straight ball is naturally
the easiest to roll and can be more
readily controlled.
When you start your delivery OF
straight ball, your thumb is pointed
directly at the headpin. When re-
leasing the ball, do not turn or twist
your fingers. At all times refrain
from putting your full effort in
your delivery. Swing your arm
from the shoulder freely, remaining
as relaxed as possible to keep from
forcing. A forced ball is likely to
be what bowlers call dead ball."
Remember to roll your ball down
the alley. Do not pitch it through
the air to land on the alley several
yards beyond the foul line.
In swinging into your delivery Of
a straight ball, hold it as close to
your right leg Cleft leg if you're
left-handed) as possible, and re-
lease it directly at the pins; that is,
your swing should be on a line be-
tween the spot where the ball hits
the alleys and the headpin. Exag-
gerate your follow-through with your
arm to assure positive direction.

CRAIG WOOD, not only one of the
~ greatest of all our National Open
champions, but also one of the most
colorful and one of the smartest, has
a cheerful message for the march
ing army of golfers whose scores
range from rs to 120, or up.
''Outside Of trying to win the Open
championship, the Masters and a
few tournaments once more, my
main idea from now on along the
line Of instruction is to bring a SIM
pier game or simpler style to the
player" the Winged Foot blond
said.

he added, one reason for this be-
ing "the greater importance which
is attached to the Individual"
Surprisingly enough" he con-
tinued, 'the war has given birth to
two institutions which are highly
successful as preventive Of psyche
neurosis. They are air raid shell
tiers and community centers.
I'VE have learned that shelter life
with its common sharing of danger

Raj. Doctor Urges Psychatric Tests for Army Filters

ST. LOUIS, MO.-Mental break
Towns in the United States armed
forces could be largely prevented
by strict psychiatric tests before in
iuction, DR.. Robert Dick Gillespie,
psychiatrist for the Royal Air force,
told a large gathering Of physicians
at the New York Academy of Medi-
cine in New York city. DR.. Gillespie
delivered the first Of two Salmon
Memorial lectures.
There are remarkably few cases

this is largely due to the extreme
care used in selecting them." DR..
Gillespie said. A hospital specially

verted to other purposes because
there were not enough patients to

The National Open champion, al
though always a fine golfer, has
reached the top spot over the harder
way. He has had to fight off the
bitterest type of luck, and found his
path forward and upward largely
through intelligent study in the mat
ter of improvement, and this has
helped to outfit him for helping 9TH
ers and giving sound advice.
Il Fe,u Methods
Just what does Champion Wood
mean by simpler or more direct
methods?
SIN the first place." Craig said,

here. / expect to take the matter
up in much greater detail later on.

how the clubs face comes through

when everything was pronation and
the so-called open face. am now
firm believer in swinging through
the ball with a squared or closed
face-which simply means keeping
the club face square to the line of
fight.
II am also a firm believer now in
putting the main burden on the
hands, wrists and arms-not the
hips or the body. The less work the
latter do, the better off you are.
"Just watch Byron Nelson, in my
opinion the finest golfer we have
from tee to green. See how simple

face Of the club.

to break even, even if you win

"Then we began to find that par

The Story Of the Sousa Bridge
Must Mention Vernis Absher
Efforts to Get
Site Agreement
Are Recalled
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr.

When the history of civic Wash
ington is written, it may we'll include
the tale Of Vernis Absher and the
Sousa Bridge.
This serious-faced delegate from
the Southeast Citizens Association
to the Federation for the past eight
years has thrown his weight hard
behind civic propositions affecting
his constituents and designed to
make Washington better place in
which to live But the job of get
ting a new bridge across TO Ana
costa was the most difficult he SAYS
he ever had to tackle
Don't get him wrong He is not
taking entire credit for the bridge.
A lot of people put in a lot of good
hard effort before the beautiful
s2000.000 span was reality. But
he left no stone unturned to get the
citizens of the area to agree on the
most desirable site. He obtained
Federation support for the plan. He
appeared time after time before
congressional committees and the
commissioners In support of his pet
project and was finally able to see
it complete, even though the new
Chain Bridge, at the other end of
town, was given precedence
The biggest difficulty was to get
the Southeast citizens themselves to
agree. Some groups favored bridge
out East Capitol street, others in
sisted Pennsylvania was the only
way and still others championed a
Massachusetts avenue bridge How
to get them to agree? Mr. Absher
called representatives of some 10
Southeast civic units together and
organized the Southeast Council of
Citizens Associations. Finally they
were able TO agree on one bridge
the Pennsylvania avenue span.
