Pennock' New Aide
ColorfuI Promoter
In Minor Circuit
By the Associated Press.

oS tHe AosOcldlt0 FTtSS.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.-Joseph
F. Reardon, 3S-year-old general
manager of the Scranton, Pa, Base
ball Club OF the Eastern League has
been named head of the farm system
of the Philadelphia Phillies and will
assume his new duties today.
Reardon's appointment was an
nounced yesterday by Herb Pennock
in his first official act since he was
selected general manager of the
PhillieS.
The new head of the Phillies'
farm system is known as the "en-
Cyclopedia of baseball" He is said
to know more about the plays than
they know about themselves and has
the answers to all the intricate
business problems of baseball at his
flngertlps. His contract calls for
sl2'5oo a year and is said to run
tor five years.
A native of Scranton, Reardon has
been both player and umpire in
semlprotesslonal circles. He also
officlated many college games and
later moved into the Middle Atlantic
and Penn State circuits.
Boosted Gates at Scranton.
The Boston Braves farm system
hired him in 1887 in a minor capacity
and in 1888 he was back umpiring
again. The Boston Red Sox gave
nm his big break in November, 1888,
When Billy Evans, then head of the
SoX farm system, induced him to
accept the general managership of
the Scranton club.
The Red Sox gave Reardon such
men as Tex Hughson and Yank
Terry to work with and Scranton
won the pennant. Attendance sky
rocketed to 311867 second only to
Seattle, Wash, in minor league at
tendance. In Five years the Scran-
ton team drew more than LOCO 900
tans to the Scranton ball park.
Reardon was willing to try almost
anything when the attendance fig
ures slipped. Scranton had almost
every might" Imaginable, including
community nights. father and son
nights and family nights One time
the attendance figures looked bad
and Reardon offered 200 pairs of silk
stockings as prizes to women fans.
The ball park that night resembled
the bargain basement in a depart
ment store.
on other occasions he gave away
turkeys, hats and even an icebOy.
Reardon does not believe such
nights would receive the approval
OF the major leagues, but when the
attendance slips he always manages
to find something to give it a shot in
the arm.
PennOck Seeks Players.
PennOck had no comment to make
regarding the signing of Reardon
and spent most of his first dav as
the guiding hand of the Phillies try

\WO years ago today at Pearl Harbor
L the American people were without
warning bombed from their dream of
peace.
You know what has happened since
how, in desperate delaying actions, time
was bought by prodigies of valor, to en-
able this nation to gird herself for war.
You know at what cost in toll and blood
American airmen, soldiers, sailors and
marines, in far places over all the world,
made their indomitable stand, altering at
last precarious defense into the trium-
phant march that everyone now can see
must lead to victory.
And you know how, awkwardly at first,
and then mounting as tide of incredible
sw1ttness and power, American Industry
rose to the needs of the hour, pouring
into the hands of our fighting men the
most and finest weapons and equipment
the world has ever seen.
On this second anniversary of that fell
day at Pearl Harbor it seems fitting that
Goodyear, as a typical American industry,
should render an accounting of its stew
ardship in the duties that were given it
to perform.
This is undertaken certainly not in any
boastful spirit, but in the belief that it is
serviceable that the people of our country
know what one business, whose story is
not unlike that of thousands of Others,
has been able to do.
