That Dead Ball
Gives Old Boys
a Big Break
By BOB MURPHY
(Sports Editor

Baseball's old goats, the rub
.bery-legged boys who would be
back on the farm in ordinary
times, are getting a chuckle
these days as the uproar about
the dead ball kicks up around
the major leagues.
It may be true that this years
pellet has all the liveliness of
an over-ripe orange. 1t isn't
what Judge Lands and other
major league heads ordered at
all. A lively ball, according 10
Lands, was 10 be used this
year.
But Mister Baseball. in his in
finite diamond wisdom. may
have had a sly finger in the maxi
ing of the cantaloupe ball.
Perhaps he had the old boys
in mind. The legs of a baseball
player determine how long he'll
play in the majors. Long after
he can still whack ball from
here tohellingone a player Will
be out of the majors because his
legs can no longer stand the
punishment Of getting around
the bases and chasing around
the infield and outfield.

Made. Broke Ruth

It's true that this generation
was raised on an era which saw
smuggling in its heyday. The lively
ball made Bane Ruth the goliath
of the bat. by the same token
the fast ball ended Ruth's days.
The other boys were still getting
hits when Ruth could no longer
get down 10 first base. His legs
had given out. He might have
stayed around longer If he had
been poking at the cantaloupe
ball.
Some one has written that the
batting champion OF 1913 may
not hit over .325. So what.
This is precarious year for
baseball. 1t isn't going on with
the same boys Of 1871 but we
are having baseball even il the
slow ball is giving 1t a toned
down aspect.
The unlively apple is serving
10 keep a lot of names in the
sport. names are helping 10 keep
baseball alive. Let the old boys
have their day. The flock Of
youngsters now playing ball who
wouldn't even be IN the majors
in regular times, shouldn't mind.
After all they are in big league

tons.

INGLEWOOD, Calf. March 81
New death-dealing qualities have
been instilled into the P-3l Mustang
fighter, North American Aviation re-
ported yesterday. and it is now being
produced as a ground attack plane
and dive bomber as we'll.
j. H. Kindelberger, North Ameri-
can president, said the new plane,
known as the A-36, retains the IA
miliar lines of the Mustang fighter
and is the worlds fastest dive
bomber
The ABS, he said, has a flying
speed of more than 400 miles an
hour, can dive on target at a ter
rife rate, blast enemy installations
or troops with bombs. then soar into
the sky and battle it out with the
best of the fighters. The ship is
powered with 12-cylinder Allison
engine. and engineers said that less
than 200 pounds IN dive bombing
equipment was added to the normal
gross weight of the fighter version
1t was after the Mustangs had
proved their effectiveness in combat
with Axis fighters, they added, that
the Army Air Forces requested
North American to build a fighter
dive bomber without making any
essential change in the design.
The A-36 climbs at the rate of
nearly half a mile minute and has
ceiling of 10000 feet. It's normal
diving speed with brakes extended
is 450 miles an hour Armor plate

Agriculture and the OPA and that
generally, it appeared, the shortage
Monday and yesterday was due to
the heavy buying over the last week
end. He described the shortage as
being most critical in the Atlantic,
Pacific and Gulf Coast areas.
These shortages. he said, were due
primarily to the failure to move meat
out of the Middle West. In some in
stances. he said, local supplies were
lost to the black market. Among the
steps taken to relieve the dearth Of
supplies on the civilian market, he
pointed out. was the decision of
Army. Navy and lease-lend buyers
to withhold purchases for two-week
period to permit stocks to build up.
"As a result of these and other
measures he said, 1T is the opin-
ion of OPA experts that most
points will have supplies equal to
the rationed demand within a few
days and ration coupons will be
validated.'
Two Orders Become Effective.
The Owl chief said he believed
rationing would work better Begin
ming tomorrow as the result of two
governmental orders which become
effective at that time:
/. The Department of Agriculture
order requiring all slaughterers to
obtain licenses. This system is
aimed at ending black market op-
erations.
2. New OPA price ceilings on pork
products. Similar standardized CELL
ings to replace the present indi-
vidual maximum prices are expected
to be imposed on beef products soon
Mr.. Davis said he believed these
two measures would cause supplies
to be spread out more evenly over
the Nation.
Meat buying was still slow here
today and some dealers believed it
would be another week before the
normal rationed demand of the Dis
trict could be ascertained. Under
proper conditions. they pointed out,
meat bought last week end might be
kept in family iceboxes for as long
as a week or 10 days, and smoked
meats would last even longer.
Conditions Reversed.
