THESE seem to be the proper
days to study the basic founda-
tons of winning competition. You
can get one answer in the New York
Yankees dressing room from such
fellows as Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon,
Red Ruffing, Spud Chandler, Joe
DiMaggio, Charlie Keller and sew
eral others.
Opening their 1912 home cam
paign, the Yankees are facing the
prospect of winning their sixth pen
nant in seven starts. 1t might not
happen that way. But that is how
it looks.
The Yankees have the bulge in
hitting, pitching and fielding. That's
fair start. But they have some
thing more Something just as i'm
portant.
In addition to their physical mar
gin, which can't be overlooked,
McCarthy's hired men are a team
together. They spend 100 per cent
of their time fighting the enemy
not fighting each other. Or fighting
umpires.
You'll find no individual jealousy,
no pickering, no squabbles, no high
hats, no stars. I've picked up the
true lesson of team play from the
Yankee dressing room for seven
years.
Joe Mccarthy stands for no
bad actor-no individual who stands
for himself above the good of the
team. Mccarthy simply passes this
type on to some other unhappy man.
ager, while he goes for team spirit.
More about the Yankees
The Yankees have been charged
with being colorless-just a group
of young business men handling
job.
They keep in condition. They start
no rows. They are all friends in
a bunch. They are just out to win,
and to be ready to win. They are
a quiet lot. They are a team of
stars who refuse to be accepted as
stars. Just ball players. Their
business has been playing baseball,
and they play it better than any
other team.
You'd get better understanding
of this if you could mix a while
with such fellows as Dickey, Cor
don, Keller, DiMaggio, Chandler,
Rufing, Priddy, Levy, Hassett, Hen
rich, Gomez, Rizzuto, and the rest.

HOPKINS LOOKS AT WAR

Following his trip to England,
Harry Hopkins is giving close
friends a very optimistic picture
about the war situation.
He is convinced that Hitler is
really alarmed at the tough resist
ance of the Russians; the growing
war strength of the United States,
and the fear of an invasion on the
European continent.
One of Hitler's greatest weak
nesses, Hopkins believes, is man.
power. German industry has done
a great job hitherto. But now with
an increasing drain on both indus
try and the German army, the ire
mendous losses at the Russian front
are having a definite effect.
To his close friends, Harry
Hopkins is known as one of the
most optimistic men in the adj
ministration. But even discount
ing this natural optimism, other
war chiefs in a position to know
seem to have fairly bright look
in their eyes recently.
1t will be long time before we
can begin to do any real Growing,
for the situation in the Near East
is almost as sour as the very, very
sour situation in India. 1t does look,
however, as if the spring had def
initely frightened the war picture.
MUSSOLINI'S DOTAGE
Inside word brought back from
Italy by those in the know gives a
desolate picture of Benito Mussolini.
He has been pretty we'll isolated
from the war command and from
direction of the government, both
of which are dictated, directly or
indirectly, by Nazis.
Mussolini has gone in for reminis-
cling on his younger days when he
was militant young socialist, part
of the time exiled in Switzerland.
He has even sent for his old So
cialist friends, including some pre-
viously exiled to France. And they
have sat around talking about the
good old days when they were
young.
Maybe this is insanity. Maybe it
is just getting back to sanity after
20 long years of decisions of
grandeur.

Bombers Speak;
The American airmen finally de-
!ivered message which Tokyo I'M
derstands. Not from an inkwell, but
from a bomb rack
The American fiers reminded ia
pan that the open city of Manila
was not a closed grave-but an
open wound.
London, Warsaw, Shanghai and
Marking are avenged because the
burning sea of Pearl Harbor is
still burning in American hearts.
Japan is entitled to receive what
she gave. Japn gave no warning at
Hawaii and she gave no mercy at
Bataan. These are cruel words, but
these are cruel times. The blazing
cities of the Axis nations are the
only lighthouses to civilization. The
way to bring peace to our cities is
to bring war to theirs. The founda-
ton for international justice must
be dug with 2,000-pound bombs.
This is the lesson they have asked
for and we must drive it home with

our armies will march. And where
our armies can march, their die
tators will kneel.

Critical Lack Of Nurses.
THE survey which preceded the
organization Of the Civilian Defense
Volunteer once a year ago." Mrs.
Bernton said, convinced us that
overcrowded Washington requires
more than mere protection against
air raids. The committee foresaw
that wartime conditions would put
a severe strain on hospitals, hous-
ing. child care agencies and recrea-
ton facilities-an vital to civilian
health and morale. -
The critical shortage Of nurses is
primary concern. Of the CDvO. In
addition to recruiting candidates for
the Red Cross nurses aide course
the placement department has
worked out a plan for releasing
nurses from routine hospital duties.
During evening visiting hours at
Georgetown. Casualty. Emergency

replace regular nurses at reception

demand grows and additional volun-
teers are recruited, the plan may
be extended to other hospitals"
