Lippy Must Be Ready
To Jump Into Game,
Hickey Declares
Bon on Heavy GombIing
Imposed; Club to Train
At West PuIm Beach
BY JUDSON BAILEY,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The cur
tain has come down on the best
burlesque in town-the takeoff on
baseball known as the Flatbush Fol-
lies, or the life and good times of
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Branch Hickey, the new president
OF the Beloved Buns, announced
yesterday that Leo Durocher had
signed contract to manage the
Dodgers for his fifth season but
made it amply clear that things
would be different around Ebbets
Field next year.
Gambling will be gone. Coach
Charley Dresser will be gone and
with him, presumably, some of the
furious feuds the club has waged
with all its rivals in the National
League. Coach Fred Fitzsimmons
probably will be gone-perhaps to
Montreal as manager and possible
heir to Durocher's throne.
Lippy Gets Players Contract.
hickey said Durocher would be
manager, but would be signed to a
players contract, not a managers.
One OF the advantages to the club
OF this will be that he can be re-
leased on 10 days notice without the
Dodgers having to pay his salary for
a full season. The amount Of his
salary was not disclosed, but Hickey
said he was hired for one year with
out any bonus provisions. Last sea-
son Durocher's contract was under
stood to have called for $4,000 plus
bonuses.
hickey was very definite that Du-
rocher, 81 years old and once one of
the best fielding shortstops in the
major leagues, would have to be
ready to play next season. In dis
cussing training plans and prospects
for trades, Hickey said the Dodgers
would set up camp at West Palm
Beach, Fla, March l.
AS for trading prospects, Hickey
said: well, I figure I have just
picked up pretty good player by
getting Durocher back into the line
up. The war situation will, Of course,
make us more conservative in our
efforts to put through deals"
Heavy Gambling Banned.
The ban on gambling for high
stakes was disclosed by Durocher
when questioned about reports that
this had been harmful influence
on the Dodgers last season
II think we were gambling too
much. I won't say it wasn't harm
full, but we never had any i'll feelings
because of it. There will be no
gambling this year-for stakes high
er than. IS cents he said.
Hickey said the club would have
only two caches instead of the
three or four the Dodgers have had
In recent years.
He said John Corriden would re-
main as one coach and that FitzSi
simmons. veteran pitcher and coach:s'
was being urged to accept the man
agership of Montreal, Brooklyn's
leading farm club.
Hickey pointed out that the portly
pitcher had all the qualifications for
a manager and that in Rickey's
years with the st. Louis Cardinals
it had been his practice to promote
his major league managers from
minor league clubs in his own Or
ganization.

The aShinqton
Merry Co. Round
By DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON - When Harry
Hopkins and Averell Hartman ar
rived in Russia several months ago,
one thing Stain told them was
that he didn't want any American
observers at the front
Our regime is different from
yours Stain said in effect. Il
know you have foreign observers and
newspapermen at the front, but We
run things differently. So please
don't ask us for this"
Therefore, at no time have Ameri-
can or British observers been on
the Russian front. A few U. S. Of
ficers have made trips behind the
lines. but only for short time.
This is why U. S. official knowledge
OF the exact condition of the Rus
sian army is either secondhand or
deduction.
However, according to the best
sources available, here is an ap-
proximate estimate of Russia s
strength and her chances of hold
ing out against Germany this spring
and summer. The picture is Meth
er black nor white. 1t is mixed.
First, 1t is an unacceptable TACT
that the German retreat during the
winter was not SO important as
generally featured in Moscow cables
Actually, the Nazis executed bril-
liant maneuver in Strengthening
their lines, and an examination OF
the map shows that their retreat
was not very substantial.
However, the Russian army has
shown itself to be of much tough
er stuff than anyone expected. Its
manpower seems unlimited. Morale
is high, while German morale is re-
ported poor, with troops tired and
depending on Bulgaria, Hungary
Rumania and Italy.
Russia's greatest lack is tanks
and airplanes These have been
going from the United States and
England as fast as we can ship
them-but not fast enough. On the

OUR SUPPLY line
Explains Disappearance OF
Nippon Fleet from
Bengal Bay

WASHINGTON, May Reports
of a concentration of japanese
warships and troop transports
among the Marshall Islands in the
South Central Pacific gave rise to-
day to speculation in informed
quarters that a major thrust against
the American supply line to Aus
tralia is imminent.
The island of Jaluit in the center
of the area is where the japanese
apparently are concentrating, only
1900 hundred miles north of New
Caledonia, where Americans land
ed recently in considerable force to
join with Free French units.
An equal distance to the south

Samoa, and 210o miles to the
northeast is Hawaii.
Because of this strategic position,
the Japs could move in any of three
or could try series of
feints in an effort to test the
American strength, then strike in
full force wherever conditions APP
pear the most favorable.
The first indications Of what
seems to be the latest development
in Japanese strategy are given in
from Australia, saying
the enemy is gathering ships and
men in inundated islands area.
These reports are linked here with
the disappearance of powerful Jap
naval units from the Bay of Bengal
off India about a week ago.
