bombing was deliberate. the COM

the area had been care

One battery on Fort Hughes. a

! situation i'm India looks
encouraging-at least as far
as Sir Stafford Grips mis-
sion is concerned.
That gentleman is a very
skillful diplomat and a very
practical negotiator.
He very probably did not
accept this vital mission to
India without the authority
actually to accomplish results.
We should remember his
mission to Russia.
Every English diplomat be-
fore him had failed i'm Russia.
All that had been accom-
plished was to drive Russia
farther away from England
and into the arms of Ger
many.
Sir Stafford Cripps I'M
dOubtedly accomplished an
alienation of Russia from
German influence, and the
achievement of some sort of
English agreement.
Germany's knowledge Of
this understanding, and of its
threat to German interests,
apparently precipitated Hit
ler's declaration of war
against Russia.
ORR STAFFORD is likely
- TO be as successful i'm
India as he was i'm Rus
sia, il he is given latitude to
modify the original English
proposal TO meet the circum-
stances with which he is con-
fronted.
That he has this latitude,
to a degree at least, is indi-
Gated by his significant state

- very specific about his
rewording of the pro-

You have often heard how
the qualifications of a consci-

The comparison is phrased
i'm this manner:
When q Diplomat says

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Johnny
PeShys snort but spectacular ma
Jcr league baseball career has
er d2d, perhaps forever, perhaps
for a few years, and so this is a
II lal little piece about Johnny.
About the flashy little short
stop VINO frightened up the Red
SoX infield and made the Bos-
tons the only serious rivals of
the Yankees; the 5-foot 9, 1865
pcunder who found American
League pitching to his liking
AMI was outhit only by his lanky
teammate, Ted Williams.
johnny won't be around next
season. He'll be in a bigger
game. He'll be in Uncle Sans
Navy. And the Tars may know
him not only as the young Red
SoX star but as the American
Leagues Rookie-of-the- Year.
For many of the baseball writ
ers will cast their vote for the
Red SoX flash. This corners
nomination goes to Vernon Ste
phens of the Browns, chiefly be-
cause of his greater run-produc-
ing ability and his part in boost
ing st. Louis into third place.
But Stephens has only the mar
rowest edge, if any, over Pesky.
Your correspondent, as Francis
Sargent, baseball writer of the
Lowell (Mass.) Sun, points out,
sighted Pesky in a recent col
umn.
In selecting an al1-star major
league team 1 rated Phil Rizzuto
of the Yankees as the top short
step. And, through an oversight,
didn't mention Pesky among the
other standout shortstops. Well,
he belongs there, definitely Right
along with Marion of the Cards,
Reese of the Dodgers and Bou-
dreau of the Indians. In that
group, you must also add urges
of the Giants, Miller of the
Braves and Stephens of the
Browns.
Pesky turned in a batting aver
age of 1871. That eoualled the
mark with which Ernie lombard
won the National League batting
championship. 1t surpassed the
average of any other hitter in
the majors, except Williams with
his 356.
Johnny also made more hits
than any player in either big
,league-205 This was just car
rying on where he left off last
year, when he topped American
Associations batters in total hits
while playing with Louisville.
Pesky. you'll remember, won
that loops Observation-Disclosures
award
Johnny and Stan Musial of the
Cardinals were the only rockies
who were among the top five
hitters in their circuits and Pesky
outhit the st. Louis outfielder
by 16 points.
The Red Sox are going to miss
Pesky just about as much as
they will miss Williams. He
