HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Walter Haight, well-known turf
commentator and writer for the
Washington Post, is doing bang
up Job of broadcasting the races at
Charles Town every afternoon, sew
eral of which are aired over WEI.
Charles Town is VIGOROUSLY slow
in putting up the mutuels after
each race and Walters fill-in chat
ter while he is waiting for the
prices, is not only plenty good, but is
also full of turf lore, of which Wal
ter knows plenty.
Football
According to this weeks Ascot
ated Press poll of sports writers, the
Army-Navy game on Saturday is
going to be just mild workout for
the Cadets and by the same token,
should the West Pointers tangle
with the Ohio State Buckeyes, the
Big Ten Conference champions, that
game would also be just another
little workout for Army
The sports writers put Army on
top of the heap by a wide margin,
with Navy second and Ohio State
third. But I've got shrewd sus-
picion that after the big Service
game on Saturday, plenty of faces
are going to be red (and / hope
mine won't be among them), for /
still am taking Navy for my two
bits.
And talking about Ohio State, l
hope the Faculty members of the
Big Ten Conference feel satisfied
now that they have denied the
Buckeyes the chance to play in the
Rose Bowl.
If ever a team deserved the hon
or of being selected to play in the
big annual classic, those kids from
Ohio State did. Playing tough
schedule and without the help of
former football stars now training
at various colleges for combat duty,
and thus being eligible to play foot
ball for those schools, the Buckeyes
came through unbeaten and united
to win the conference champion
ship, and they undoubtedly would
have received the Rose Bowl BID,
but for the fact that those SNUG
professors wouldn't sanction a
post-season game.
With the Pros
1t looks as if the Redskins are
still hanging on to their horseshoe,
for not only did the Philadelphia
Eagles lose their first game of the
season on Sunday, when the big,
bad, Chicago Bears mauled them
numerically, but the Boston Yam
KEGS muffed a dozen chances to take
the Redskins into camp, with the
result that the Skins and the New
York Giants are tied for first place.
All of which adds up to sellout for
next Sundays game in New York,
when the Giants and the Redskins
meet for the c-r-o-o-c-c-i-a-l game
of the year.
P. S.-What Ellinger wouldn't
give to see that one!
Baseball
After the annual meetings in Buff
falo next week, l expect to have
some word from Oren Sterling re-
garding the Owls affiliaton with one
of the clubs for 1945. If Mr.. Sterl-
ing works with Buffalo again,
hope he demands more help than
he got from them last season. What
/ would like to see is a tie-up with
one of the major league clubs and
perhaps President Sterling can
swing it. Here's hoping anyway.

THE exaggerations. which now

Can anything be more con-
servative than these excerpts
from a statement recently made
by Gen. Jimmy Doolittle:

One feels that Doolittle is
aware of the handicaps. the
uncertainties, the need for not
overestimating results.
And his method is typical of
the trained man. who prefers

THESE DAYS

WITH only month to go. the
w Republican nomination
seems TO be within Tom Dewey's
reach. but il will not be on the
first ballot by reclamation.
The Bricker forces remain in
the field and apparently their
program is to fight up to the
last moment. They contest the
claim Of the Deweyites that the
nomination is in the bag. that
he has more than enough votes
pledged right now TO produce
majority on the first or second
ballot.
Bricker is intensifying his
campaign for the nomination as
a result OF canvass which con-
vinces his managers that he has
chance.
The fact of the matter is that
during the next month. Dewey
has to undergo the unpleasant
experience of the ebb and flow
of the ordinary politics. AS long
as Willkie was out in front, the
Dewey position was that of an
unwilling candidate for whom
there was a strong pull-but ii
was a pull away from Willkie.
AS soon as that screen was
knocked down, Dewey stood out
as the leader and he has had to
take all the darts and arrows
usually hurled at the leading
candidate. And the New Deal
smear machine was put to work
on him. smearing him by paint
ing Herbert Hoover as a politi-
cal leper and associating Dewey
with Hoover.
CMEARING Hoover in 1914
~ doesn't mean anything polit-
ically and although Mr.. Hoover
issued a statement last week
that he was not picking the Re-
publican candidate, that state
ment in form and content rep
resented nothing more than
jittery pronouncement of the
obvious.
The fact that Communist and
left wing newspapers devoted
themselves 10 attacks on Mr..
Hoover for supporting a Repub-
lican established the absurdity
Of the smear. Did they expect
him to endorse Mr.. Roosevelt?
MEANWHILE. Bricker trav-
A'A els about the country
speaking sound doctrine.
He started late, was over
cautious. handled his public re-
lations badly. made a few poor
speeches at the start--and
gave the lead to Dewey.
But whatever his fortunes
at the convention, Bricker will
come out of this campaign a
man Of improved stature. an
attractive national figure. and
should the Republicans not
carry the election in 1914,
Bricker will beyond doubt be-
come q rallying point for the
future.

In politics. at this stage, the
minds of politicians run to the

that Dewey can carry New
