Brooklyn Is Dizzy Disney Land Where Nothing Is Real
BY MARTIN KANE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NOAAV0U 6ASsS St&ah VVETeSpOnUeNGJ
 Fantasy Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 6 - (UP0 - This is a dizzy, disneyes- que land where nothing is real. The third strike for the third out in the ninth inning doesn't end the ball game here. The Wizard of Oz? This is his home.
 They say that on Walpurgis Eve the ghosts of Old Dodgers come out on Ebbets Field and play a game oi ball backwards. The pitcher stands at home plate and the batter on the pitchers mound, they run the bases from third to first, the umpires are always right and the thirc strike for the third out always starts batting rally.
 There is something sinister about 1t. What are they trying to do to baseball? Was that a spectre stir ring up the dust around first base or just the breeze from Leo Duro. cher's coaching box? What phantom rules this plot of land, this earth, this realm, this Brooklyn? What goes on here?
 Look, 1t stands to reason that when a guy has three strikes on him he's out.
 Old Man, Now
 Reason has nothing to do with 1t, sonny. l can remember back to Sun day afternoon when two and two made four. Beyond that it's kind of hay. I've heard talk about three terms for president. And prohibition When are they going to enforce itp I'm an old man now, old before my time, and my memory isn't so good any more. Things are all mixed up, So Heinie Zimmerman chased Eddie Collins across home plate, eh? That doesn't seem so long ago. Just like yesterday.
 What baseball needs is fiber hel- mets for ball players only they should get them when they are babies to protect their heads. When they fall out of high chairs.
 And root up all this marijuana weed that grows around here,
 If you would loosen this strait. jacket I could breathe easier.
 We were talking about the Dod- gers, weren't we? A great ball team They always come through in the clutch.'A ball game isn't over till the third out in the ninth, they always say.
 Painting
 They say that Stevedore Daily is a great painter. He never painted nothing like this. Let him come out to this ball park, Sonny, and we will show him stuff to curdle his colo, scheme. And if Groucho Marx means it when he says he is quitting the movies, well, here is his chance have been scouting him for some time nowand he is about ripe. When he gets overripe we will send fol him.
 Whats Roy Riegels doing these days? Of course, he was a football player but he had the makin's. He was brought up wrong, is all. Many a good boy goes wrong and ends UT playing pinball machines when the Dodgers are just starving for ma. terial. If it was a pinball machine yesterday all the lights would have flashed, the bells would have rune and then the damn thing would have tilted.
 Bingo. Take two and hit to right Old Dodgers never die, they only fade away. Don't call them buml anymore. like to think of them al Destiny's Dopes. Don't tell me those men in white coats are selling hot dogs. I know what they're here for

Three New Managers
Make State Debuts
on Next Sunday

With new playing talent in
droves, three new managers, one
new owner and even two. new
nick-names 10 boot. the Michigan
State baseball league this week
prepares to embark on its second
session next Sunday.
The revamped lineups come
about through the graduation of
1910 players to higher leagues, or
their entry into Uncle Sans army
through the draft route.
New managers will be found at
Grand Rapids where Charles

league pitcher, commands; at
where Bill Prince, is in
charge, and at Lansing. where
Danny Taylor will direct the boys

Lansing also boasts the new
executives, having Strengthened out

Defend 2 Titles

limerick Kocsis OF Lake Point
will be the defending champion IN
both the State Open and p. G. A.
Last year he won the Open at
Midland and completed his "dou-
bile" by capturing the p. G. A. title
at Jackson.
The professionally preference
for upstate clubs for their feature
events is readily understood. Fans
in the smaller cities don't get as
many chances 10 see these stars
play as do Detroiters. AS a result
they turn out in larger numbers.
This means bigger purses-and
money still talks. Besides, the De-
troit pros like these trips. They're
outings for them.

Enough's Enough

If you didn't attend the golf
clinic conducted by The Detroit
Times and the Michigan p. G.. A,
you'll just have to hear about the
first time AL Watrous saw Ber
Hogan, the mighty little Texan. II
was before a tournament in the
South two Winters ago. Here's
how AL tells it:
81 was hitting some balls with
my driver on the practice tee
when up came Hogan. He
dumped a sack of balls and
there were so many they seemed
to spread all over the place. All
of us had to move over to make
room for them.
81 thought I had been driving
real well, but, after seeing Ben
hit several balls with q No. 4
wood, slipped the driver back
in the bag--and finished my
practice with a mashie niblick."
