THE eyes Of a smart catcher
Il should be able to study batting
form at closest range. This being
true, Bill Dickey's slant on Ted
Williams is worth noting.
Dickey was working in Hollywood
on the Lou Gehrig picture when the
argument was started about great
hitters. Sll4
''In my opinion" Bill said, "Ted
williams last season was the great
est single-year hitter ever saw, and
I've been around quite while. I've
also seen lot of good ones, or bet
ter than good.
"But Williams in 1871 was super
good. / worked on him with our
pitchers in something like % games
and know what tough job it was
to get him out or keep him off the
bases. He was always hundred
per cent poison"
What Makes Great Hitters?
what were the main factors in
the Williams swing?" / asked the
Yankee catcher.
"There were a flock of main fac
TORS" Dickey answered. Sin the
first place, you just can't get Ted to
hit at a bad ball-even one only an
inch or two wide. He must have
eyes like a hawk. You've got to get
it over or he'll wait and walk. Time
and again I've seen him let balls
slip by that couldn't have missed
the plate by more than an inch.
SIN the second place, Williams has
a great pair of hands, wrists and
forearms. Weighing only ITO or
maybe IT'S pounds, he has almost
as much power as the Babe and Lou
used to have. His timing is per-
feet. He seems to wait until the ball

TIRES:
Real Shortage?

llnEO:
Real Shortage?
A New York rubber dealer had
sharply criticized those who were
taking the rubber right out from
under American automobile owners,
at least in prospect, and had de-
clared, among other things, that
there was Connecticut manufac-
turer who, if given 1000 tons OF
crude rubber, plus all the crepe rub
Der soles of shoes, could retread
35,000,0 900 tires this year.
He added that if this firm was not
allowed to have the crude rubber he
could do the same trick with re-
claimed rubber.
He had challenged Leon Hender-
sons statement that the retaining
rubber facilities of the nation could
account only for $50, 900 tons year,
and said:
"He overlooks that these facilities
could quickly be expanded to a mil
lion tons or more by the simple re-
fixing of machinery and in second
hand machinery now available"
This was hurting bombshe1 into
peoples thinking, who had readily
accepted Henderson's statement
that the would would take million
cars off the roads by July, and that
within a year some $4,000, 900 autos
might be demobilized.
Henderson had said that the gov
eminent might even be forced to
take tires from the cars of some
owners and give them to others
whose uses for their cars was more
essential"
The New Yorker, Elliott Simpson,
went further. In his argument that
all was not being done that should
be in order to give the country a
sufficient supply of rubber, he said
there were thousands of tons Of
wild rubber" in the upper Amazon
country, and in parts Of Central and
South America.
AS to rubber from guayule plants,
which Henderson said there was
little chance" of realizing, Simpson

NELSON:
And Ships

Swiftly following up the ''blue" re-
port Of William Harrison, his pro-
duction division head, who had said
there had been disappointments in
the ship production rate so far in
1912, Donald M. Nelson, WPB
head, had told newsmen that the
goal of 100000 tons for this year
will be met.
''In fact" he, said, we are try
ing to figure now how to beat that to-
tai. The whole nation is at stake.
The ship program must not fall
down. And it won't"
He had recently conferred with la
Dor leaders about his demand that
the ship industry increase its output
Is per cent by going entirely into
168-hour full weekly schedules.
Mr.. Nelson said he had not recog-
nized any lack of materials for ship
building industries.

BURMA:
And India

With the British moving Slowly
but surely backward on the Burma
front, and with many believing that
the fall of Java might be a signal
for heavier pressure against India,
the puzzle of how the people of India
would react to the necessity OF de-
tense was worrying Britain.
Many in England favored giving
the Hindus dominion status, with
Nehru as their head. Others thought

MISCELLANY:

Rio de Janeiro: Brazil had placed
Japanese diplomats under guard fol-
lowing reports from Tokyo that Bra
zil's ENJOYS had been held incom-
municado, and that the embassy
had been occupied by the military.
Burma: Anerican-made tanks
were said to have arrived on the
British fighting front near Rangoon.
A second squadron Of American vol
unteer fiers also had arrived.

JAVA:
FINS

The breakthrough of Japanese
troops through the Bandoeng de-
tense lines, and the coincident clos
ing down of the radio station with
dramatic Farewell until better
times" the defense of Java had
reached its apparent finish.
The review of the campaign
showed greatly superior" forces
of Japanese, both from naval and
military standpoint, had crashed
ashore on the east, the west and the
north central portions of the island,
and within 10 days had practically
cut Java in two.
Early in the campaign the Dutch
commanders had complained that
there had not been enough naval,
air or land support for their de-
tense, and as the Japs swept inland
there apparently had been a pretty
hot scramble for the non-combatants
to get away to Australia, and the Al
lies hoped that some of the United
Nations defending troops would
have been able to make getaway,
also.
Hardly any observer had believed
that Java could hold out long, but
few had been prepared for the sud-
denness with which the defense had
collapsed.
First intimation of the end was
that the United Nations fleet had
been forced to admit Japanese SUI
premacy on the waters surrounding
the islands; then it was conceded
that the air forces of the island
had been showed under.
With land and sea and air de-
lenses shattered, the end could not
be long, it was then realized, and
the Japs poured men into the is
land in sufficient numbers to drive
all before them.

Is almost in your mitt before he
swings. I've never seen hitter
who could wait longer before taking
his cut. Few can do this. Every
one is little too anxious at the
bat and quick hitting OF swinging
is a general fault. But not with
Ted Williams"
No Weak Spots
''Another thing about Williams"
Dickey continued, sis that he has
NO weak spots. We've tried every
thing against him-keeping them
low-keeping them up-fast balls
and slow balls-curves and every
thing else. But his bat seems to
be in the road, NO matter what he
is served.
Remember, Ted is still kid
around %, as recall it. There isn't
any telling how many records he
might have broken if there had been
no war.
'.Joe DiMaggio is another great
hitter who knows how to wait on a
pitch. Joe also keeps a pitcher at
work. He hits at few bad balls and
you never see him rushing any
swing. I've heard that good timing
was simply taking your time, and
that seems to fit both Williams and
DiMaggio."
Another Good Year
It might be noted here that the
Arkansas Sniper is apparently head
ed for another big year.
''I'm feeling physically better than
! have felt in long time" Bill
said. ''I'd like to catch another hun
dred games again and I'd like to
get back in the 300 class"
It might be remembered that
Dickey broke all major league rec
ords last season by catching 100 or
more games for the 18th time. He
came to the Yankees around 1928
and the tall Arkansas entry has been
a mighty factor in the Yankee
march ever since.
Always a great hitter in the
clutches, Dickey's main success has
been in the matter of handling young
pitchers-or any brand Of pitching.
You never see him excited or up
set, no matter what the crucial spot.
In the midst Of wild and turbulent
innings Dickey remains cooler than
the heart Of an iceberg.
His knowledge Of rival batters is
astonishing. He can tell You the
weakness and strength Of every hit
ter in his league.
His pitchers can take his judg-
ment In full confidence. He has
soothing influence on the young en-
try, vital factor in the way Of con-
troll.
''There is much more to pitching
than strong arm, much more than
speed and curve ball." he tells
you. "A big. part of pitching is put
ting the ball where you want it. I've
seen more than few smart pitch
ers, with little left in the old arm.

ing to the right spots"
