SiSler Greatest Of First Seekers Says Williams s
BY JOE WILLIAMS

New York, Jan. 25-Putting~ one little word after another and what ever became of Garbo? We suspect Mussolini wants to be alone these days, too. Italy has produced few outstanding humorists but it can never be denied 1t gave the twen- tieth century its biggest joke. It is now clear why the Duce spent so much time building speedy rail- roads; he senSed there'd be a time when he'd want to get away from there quickly.

 Whoever thought we'd see the day when the Yankees would have to depend on the Phillies for help? Stolz ought to outstab Pep Friday because he's pretty courageous against anybody who can't hurt him. The three best first basers we ever saw were Sisler, Terry and Gehrig, in that order. Chase was before our time. We doubt very much If he was better than Sisler. There wasn't anything the Sizzler couldn't do. Besides being a 400 hitter, he was a brilliant base run ner. For some reason we never heard explained technically, he was more expert in stealing third than sec- ond. We hereby petition brother Hickey for further illumination on the subject. Some cockney seamen met Jack Dempsey for the first time the other night and were astonished. "Why the man hasn't a mark on him." they marvelled, land he was supposed to be such brushing fighter, too." Not supposed to be, chums, but was; the fact is Dempsey was a much better boxer than anybody ever gave him credit for. His weaving and boxing tactics gave him 8 boxing finesse all his own. As Gene T'unney once re- marked mournfully to us: T fought him twenty rounds and I've yet to hit him one good solid punch"

There can no longer be any doubt that FDR has more power than any president in our history. He even tried to order John L. Lewis around the other day. It's all right now for Ed Flynn haughtily to say he didn't know who Dutch Schultz was but if the dis tinguished murderer were alive to- day those would be fighting words. And we'll be happy when the other Flynn mess ends so we can get strengthened out on the words "strumpet", "crumpet' land "scrup- pet"

 In order to effect economies, Washington plans to hire 13O,3l4 additional investigators. This is like calling a peace barley to start an- other war. Our typesetters thought they'd have it soft once the foot ball season was oyer but then the Russians started taking towns like Golofyeevka, Voroshilocsk and Nein- nomysskaya. We realize now we never had a chance to be 8 radio comic. We just can't see anything funny in words like perk and drip. You get an idea of how primitive a people we really are when you realize the American housewife is learning to slice bread for the first time.

Inability to get water In her home because Lucian Helie. next-door neighbor, allegedly wolud not sanc- ton repairs to a common pipe was the basis of a temporary injunction issued by Common Pleas Court Judge John F. McDonough to Bridget Moyles of Watertown. The court order compelled the defend- ant to permit the repairing of the water pipe, but the litigation will be carried further by the plaintiff who also seeks permanent in- junction and $500 damages.
 The complaints entered on the court docket states water supplied to the plaintiffs home by the Wa tertown Fire District runs through a pipe in the cellar of the defend- ants property. Last winter the wa . ter froze and the defendant shut of the water supply, it is alleged, and failed to fix the pipe.
