Princess Inn Factory
Contrary TO Legend, Her Hishness Tramps Miles
in War Plants Talks Shop to Workers
BY JANE sCHERMERHORN

According to legend. princesses
go about always dressed in frothy
pink clouds and on their feet are
tiny glass slippers that invariably
take them tripping to the most
frivolous affairs.
In striking contrast to this
story book character is Princess
Alice, granddaughter of Queen
Victoria, who is setting a pace on
her two-day visit TO Windsor.
Princess Alice trampS miles
through factories, talks 10 the
about the processes they
are performing. mods and smiles all
day long at people she's never
seen before and will probably
never see again; manufactures
more pleasant small talk than a
debutante.

The longest conversation in
which her royal highness took part
was with Mrs. Edward j. Jeffries
wife of Detroit's mayor. 1t took
place in the middle of Ambassador
Bridge and concerned blackouts.
SEES PROTECTION IN TREES
Looking at Detroit's shoreline
the princess observed:
"All those lovely green trees
you have I'm Detroit will be a
great protection in event Of an
enemy bombing. Trees absorb
shock. In London trees are
going as the city is rebuilt"
The princess reported having
seen pictures of the raids on Co
logne, verifying stories that the
city was laid in ruins.
For the rest Of the day her con-
verSation was devoted 10 asking
technical questions as she went
through the Canadian branch of
the Ford Motor Company.

 In leaving St. Louis for Brooklyn Rickey comes to franchise which MacPhail built up into one of the most valuable in baseball. It was understood that when MacPhail left he recommended Rickey for the post.
 OppOsites
 Hickey and MacPhail are direct contrasts. Hickey Is silent and has little of MacPhail's flair for show manship. Where Hickey helped baseball by building up and saving minor leagues from ruin, MacPhail helped 1t by introducing night base ball and other innovations.
 During the season just ended it became apparent tht Hickey would not return to St. Louis. The breach between him and President Sam Breadon of the Cardinals hao widened and just before MacPhaii's resignation the Cardinal head gave Rickey permission to deal with other clubs.
 In lowing out at St. Louis, he left the Cardinals after one of their most successful seasons. They came from far behind in one of base bll'S greatest stretch drives to wir the National League pennant and carried on to take tke World Series from the highly favored New York Yankees.

 New York, Oct. 29.-tUP)-The dust kicked up by long tailed Whirl- away as he galloped alone around the Pinllico oval yesterday dribbled out a requiem for the $l0,000 Pim- lico Special-the event that Alfred Vanderbilt tried to turn into a turf classic.
 In war or peace time, we are con- fldent that there never will be an- other Pimlico Special-that there will never be a classic of this kind at Pimlico in which one great racer can gallop alone around the track tot win the purse.
 We make this prediction because of two major factors; CD Al Van derbilt, with all his money, never offered sufficient prize to wean peak horses away from big-purse events on other tracks, and (O he tried to make a classic event out of race that had no tradition-as far as the breeders were concerned.
 Big Idea
 Vanderbilt, now in the Navy, had swell idea when he and his press agent, Dave Woods, founded the Pimlico Special. That was in 1887 when he got three-year-old War Admiral to race in his handicap event. Three mediocre opponents faced the Admiral, who would have won were it not for the fact that Masked General ran wide in the stretch.
 The next fall, 1888, Vanderbilt took advantage of the fumbling ef- forts of other operators and match ed War Admiral and Sea Biscuit, winner take all for $l5000. The Biscuit won.
 After the success of this great race, Vanderbilt decided to make the Pimlico Special the trace of champions" He decided to invite the winners of the nations biggest stakes to run-hoping to make 1t an equine world series. But. unfortun- ately, the purse was pared to $10O00.
 The idea was good, but the re- suits were bad. Tn 1889, three horses started. Challedon beat hdydk SIld h1lu NIhFdbs n year 1dLcA only two thoroughbreds went to the post and Chaledon won, beating can't wait. That was the year when Midland was withheld from the Pimlico Special and sent to Empire for the more valuable Westchester Handicap
 No Bets. Nose Finish
 Tn i94l the Pimlico Special situa- ton was bad. Market Wise drew Haltal as his lone rival and so out. classed him in the pre-race figuring that the track would permit no bet- ting on the race. This was unfair because Market Wise barely nosed out Halta.
 This years race was the worst in the classics six-year history. 4 field of nine horses originally had been invited to run. This field com. prised Whirlaway, and eight other mounts. including Mrs. Albert ea- baths Alsab.
 All were withdrawn for various reasons. Mrs. Payne Whitneyb z Shut Out was retired for the sea-
