green underwear, suddenly got over
dizzy spell that had him clinging
to the ropes TO win in II minutes

Dodgers Did Down Up-Down
Stunt in l9l9-20-2l

But the Dodgers already have
done it. In 1919, the year that Gin
cinnati sneaked in ahead OF the
New York Giants to win their first
pennant, Uncle Wilbert Robinson's
roeues from Brooklyn landed in the
second division. The next year,
1920, with Grimes, Cadore. Smith,
Marquard, Kilduff, Olson, Wheat,
Myers, johnson and the rest, the
Dodgers copped the flag. In 1921,
sure enough, they were back in the
second division.
AS a matter of local prestige, the
people Of Brooklyn do not care to
hear it said that Detroit will be the
first big league club to perform this
difficult feat. All over Red Hook
and Canarsie and Queens the pa
triotS rise to denounce the claims
OF the upStart Tigers.
And if Detroiters persist in foist-
ing their claims on the public, the
brain of Brooklyn, Leland Stanford
MacPhail in person, will hurl the
scrool of history in their faces. No
Brooklyn prerogative ever will be
challenged while L. S. MacPhail is
at the helm.
Brooklyn did it first" is the battle
cry of L. Stanford MacPhail. NO
matter how wrong 1t was, Brooklyn
did IT."

Mailley, in the event his plea for

enter aviation.
Washington will enter the tiff
with a 80 margin over Baltimore,
another game having resulted in a
tie. The Eagles hold a 5-point lead
in the Eastern League race and trail
Baltimore by only points in the
Boardwalk Cup series despite having
played three fewer games.
Bolstering the Eagles attack will
be the return of Norm Burns, league
| leading scorer who was forced to
miss Washington last game due to
badly swollen eye and lacerated
cheek. Burns needs only eight more
goals to tie the Eastern League rec

Task Might Prove Tough
For Detroit Club

Of course, there is some possibility
that Detroit will not be able to get
back to the second division as rap
idly as the Tiger supporters boast.
The third year in this cycle always
Is the hardest. Many cynics feel
that the Tigers will be lucky to sink
as low as third place.
In fact, Hank Greenberg, the ace
who has been tapped for the United
States Army, believes that Detroit
will have trouble losing the pennant
To hear 'em tell it." says Mr.
Greenberg, "our club is washed up.
The way look at 1t, the Tigers will
be at least as strong as they were
last year, whether I play or not"
This statement is open to doubt,
and you can trace some of Mr.
Greenberg's remarks to loyalty, but
still he is a shrewd athlete and
worth listening to.
'If I'm drafted" Hankus was say
ing-this was before his drafting
became a virtual certainty-"they
may not be able to find fellow who
will drive in as many runs, but the
club has good outfielders to burn
and the chances are we won't need
quite as many runs as we scored last
season. I look for better pitching.
Greenberg Claims Tigers
Shouldn't Crack Up.
John Corsica showed you what
he can do in the World Series. He
made monkeys of the Cincinnati
Reds. And Hal Newhouser is just
as good. With Newsom and Rowe
pacing the staff and the young
pitchers winning plenty of games
we won't need as much power
though we'll still have plenty OF
that. Any team with Higgins, York
Campbell, Gehringer and McCoskey
is bound to slug.
What puzzles me is the way peo-
pie knock our infield. You think
Gehringer is washed up? You don't
know him. Charley played most OF
last season with bad back Hell
be all over that in 1941 and you'll
see the old Gehringer again, playing
as good second base as anybody in
baseball-and hitting the apple, too
Il think we'll win 1t again." said
Mr.. Greenberg firmly, 'by more than
we won it last season."
That may be. Win or lose, the
Tigers will have their troubles get
ting back into the second division
It's not as easy as it looks, anc
until the Detroit team does it the

From the

Dodgers Did 1t First,
MucPhuiI's Bottle Cry
BY JOHN LARDNER.
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Jan. 81 CNANA0.-
There is almost nothing you can do
that the Brooklyn Dodgers haven't
dore already. This applies to every
thing in the book of baseball tricks,
from stealing an occupied base to
winning IL straight games without
signals.
The boosters of the Detroit team,
which captured the American
League pennant last year, are begin
ming to claim a new honor for their
club, but it grieves me to report that
the Dodgers were there first.
This is the stunt: You finish in the
second division one year, win the
pennant the next, and return to the
second division the following year
all in three seasons. The Tigers,
faced with the drafting OF Hank
Greenberg, barred from making
trades in their own league, and hob
bled by an ancient and creaky in
field, have a chance of slipping back
into the second division in 194l. And
it's q good trick. I don't blame the
Tiger fans for pointing to it with
civic pride,
