Plans of Two European Kings
To Visit Washington Collapse
Roosevelt Frowns
On RoyoIty's Calls
As Too Exocting
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

King George Of Greece and King
Peter Of YugoSlavia have been ION
their way" to Washington for
months. Both the Greek and the
Yugoslav Legations have begun pre-
liminary preparations, several times
for the reception Of the monarchs.
But the expressed desire Of the two
Kings to meet President Roosevelt
is not likely to be fulfilled in the
foreseeable future.
On his return to London, Prime
Minister Churchill conveyed diplo-
matically to the Greek King, who
was waiting for the British to ar
range transportation to America,
that the trip was not timely.
The chief preoccupation Of the
members of the Greek Legation in
Washington is food for the starving
citizens of Greece. They had pinned
great hopes on the personal presen-
tation Of the matter by their King
to President Roosevelt. The prob
lem has been dealt with In Lon
don, however.
One of the first things Mr..
Churchill did on his return was to
approve a plan whereby neutral
Turkey would supply a quantity Of
wheat to the starving Greeks In re-
turn for other commodities from the
United States and Great Britain.
Royal Visits Too Exacting.
The decision Of the British not to
undertake transportation OF the
Greek sovereign to the United States
was due to hint from the President
that royal visits are too exacting
for the White House during the
emergency.
The welcome of the American
public to the flood Of refugees from
Europe has been tinged with un-
easiness. The presence of special
pleaders for special causes-in the
shape Of crowned heads-has evoked
a certain amount of criticism. It
Is far easier for the White House
to defer royal visits for the time
being than 1t would be to eliminate
any of the courtesies due to the
llSdlS VI UllOOC StdtCc "AASAA - 2
fighting for the Allies.
The elimination OF royal visitors
serves another purpose: 1t dis
courages the presence in Washing
ton of those to whom the President
referred Friday as parasites.
That expanding section of social
Washington which President Roose-
velt considered worthy of press
conference dissertation is in Wash
ington for no other reason than to
participate in the glamour of the
wartime capital. These people do
no flock to Washington to spend
their days in the Mellon Art Gal
lery. The Library OF Congress Is
full Of busy readers and researchers
but not one of them Is ever seen
at a social function. The Capital
has no opera or ballet and only one
legitimate theater.
But Washington is an intoxicating
city today. The spotlight OF the
world is focused upon 1t.
Take Large Houses.
Those who move in the glare are
eagerly sought by those who would
reflect the light. In order to grab q
share Of it, the parasites move
into large houses, lease whole floors
in hotels and make entertainment
their only occupation. Harmless in

ordinary times, they take up too
much space in 1912. President
Roosevelt went 80 far as to mention
that many of them require 20 rooms
in which to exercise their function
of social parasitism.
Washington has another appeal
for the idle-minded. It Is q rootless
town People move in and out just
as they do in q weekend hotel
where their social standing depends
on the size of their suite.
With the city bursting with
harassed war workers, there is NO

vicarious limelight. With the tenn
porary ban on royalty and the Presi-
dents denunciation of social para

Frank Dixon, New York Univer-

lished himself as the outstanding
Negro distance runner of all time
and one of the greatest in Amerl-

Negroes seldom go much more
than a mile, but young Dixon starts
where John Borican stops. Big Bor-

the mile. He just does make the

Phil Edwards, another Negro who
represented NYU and who placed
in three Olympic Games, went up
to 1900 meters, but that was his
limit
He made a pursuit race out OF
the intercollegiate AAAA X-country
run OF five miles in Van Cortland
Park, New York, with a field of 13l

wake.
Dixon, 20, and ST. Louis-born, is
the first freshman to win the big

Dixon stands feet 10 and weighs

SPORTS PARADE

National league team I've seen dur
ing my l6 years in the circuit. They
were a young club, blessed with
speed and punch. And it looks as
if they won't lose much strength
before the 1943 campaign"
DRAFT DEFERRED
OFT emphasized that most hot
stove leaguers expected the Cards
to be hard hit BY the draft because
their players generally were young.
But he stressed, They're young,
alright, but most of them are mar
ried and have children. 1t may be
long time before those boys are
called to service. Brooklyn, for eX-
ample, has an older club, but the
Dodgers are almost certain to be
harder hit by service necessities"
Manager Mel admitted that Enos
Slaughter and johnny Beazley al
ready have donned uniforms, and
that Creepy Crespi and Terry Moore
doubtless will go into service soon.
But he warned, THE Cards still
have strong, dangerous club"
GIANTS SUFFER
OFT, who came to New York to
confer with Giant officials in prep
aration for next weeks major league
meetings at Chicago, dolefully ad-
mitted that the Giants would lose
men to the services-juSt how many
he wasn't sure. Of the AZ squad,
OutfielderS Babe Young and Will
lard Marshall already have gone.
Meanwhile Pitcher Hal Schumacher
tNI Ii Kne1n eDlN lN1,
will go soon.
The brown haired pilot said he
was figuring tentatively on the
following lineup: Infield-Johnny
Mize, Nick Witek, Billy Jurges and
Sid Gordon cup from the Jersey
City farm club The outfield would
comprise Herb Barna, Jim May
nard and OFT. Harry Aiming would
be first-string catcher.
OFT pointed out, however, that
Mize, Witek, Gordon and Danning
are married but have no children,
and hence may be marched away
before the baseball season opens in
mid-April.
At the current chatting, OTIS
major problem rests at third base.
Little Mel believes That Sid Gordon,
who played with the Giants for
the last week of the AZ season, will
kiss off the hot-corner assignment.
But Mel knows that if Gordon
fails to live up to expectations, the
infield situation will be very drab,
indeed. In addition, Manager Mel
could use right-handed pitcher
of dependability, and a good-hit-
ting outfielder.
OFT denied rumors that he is con-
sidering Freddie Fitzsimmons as
Giants coach. He explained that
F'itz still is the property of the
Dodgers and that OFT can not talk
over this situation with any Ma
tional league club until the league
has gone into its huddle at Chicago,
starting Tuesday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26. (UP)-With
the war and the cards in his face,
little Mel OFT reSembled an out
fielder playing in quicksand when
he oozed into town from New Or
leans. He knew what he wanted
to do-Where he wanted TO go-but
the current situation was slogging
him and beWildering him.
Modest Mel. who lifted the Giants
from fifth to third place in his
first season as player-manager of
the New York club, was trying to
pave the way for team that could
beat the World Champion st. Louis
outfit next season and take the
National league flag, at least.
TEAM TO BEAT
OFT, Sun-bronzed from weeks of
hunting in louisiana, declared
frankly that the Cardinals were the
team to beat in 1943 because they
apparently would survive service
demands with a squad almost as
strong as that which won the pen
nant and beat the New York Yank-
eeS in the east World Series.
OFT said, The recent Cardinals
were the strongest and sharpest

SEMI.PR0S SET

SPITE OF WAR

CHICAGO Nov,. 26-While major
league owners cross their fingers
and worry about Glass d and C
circuits, not to mention themselves,
Ray Dumont has his National Semi
Fro baseball Congress program all
set for 1943.
In seven years, Dumont, pep
perry citizen of Wichita, has built
the National Semi-Pro Baseball
Congress from an idea to an Or
eanization which in 1943 is eX-
pected to include $50 leagues. The
record for organized baseball is
65. There were 16 affiliated semi
pro teams in 1885.
President Dumont plans 200 dis
trict tournaments, 48 state and q
national, the latter in Wichita, Tor
onto, Havana and San Juan, P. r.
UMPIRES, SCORERS IN LINE

patterned after that of organized

NAKED By the annual national
tournament in Wichita which at
tracted 125,000 spectators.
1t has been the youth of the
nation which in the past has been
attracted to baseball by the semi
pro congress. The coming year will
include many former professionals.
Most of the toSScrS from the or
ganized ranks will be in industrial
plants engaged in the war effort
or in military camps.
Both of the latter claSSificationS
will be represented in the l943 pro-
gram, which is the principal reason
seen for an unprecedented semi
professional boom.
Dumont sees Semi-professional
clubs replacing those in a number
of the smaller leagues.
