Tiger Manager Finds Baseball
Big Lift to Lads Fighting Jops

These guys are ballplayers,
ONeill continued. Il was supposed
to umpire at third base, but after
the first inning I decided to get be-
hind the catcher. I wanted to look
over the pitchers stuff, fellow
named Fred Sanford. I remem-
bered that before Uncle Sam beck
oned, he had a swell year with the
Toledo Mud Hens. He's the prop
erty of the st. Louis Browns, but !
guess Luke SeWell won't mind my
peeking. Sanford looks good, his
delivery masks his throw. I couldn't
tell whether he was going to throw
a curve or a fast ball. That's form
and you don't get it from a mail
order catalogue.
Catchers Impress Him.
The two catchers were good. Hal
Schimling was with Yakima Of the
Western International League. He's
still kid conner after having been
over here "a months. He has a nice
throwing arm and savvies the pitch
ers. The other catcher, Bruno Pei
legrini, is first looey. Pellegrini,
they tell me, was some shakes as a
Santa Clara halfback and played in
the Sugar Bowl games of 81 and '38.
Back home some of those who
always manage to see things under
the bed are apprehensive that fight
ing so fierce a war as these boys are
doing will change them essentially

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. T.-
Barring last-minute injuries, two Of
the country's outstanding centers--
Caleb Van eTeD Warrington of Au-
burn and John Tavener of Indiana
will swap bruises here Saturday
in the sixth annual Blue Gray
classic.
The 6 foot inch, O5-pound
Warrington, pivot man for the
South who is completing his 18th
season of competitive football was
chosen on the 1914 Associated Press
Al-America, and Tavener, feet
and 220 pounds from Indiana, re-
ceived honorable mention for the
mythical eleven.
Gets Praise of Coaches.
Indiana's Coach A. N. (Bo)
McMillin, one of the three mentors
directing the Northern team, pre-
dicted Tavener would all but tear
the Gray line apart with his ex-
plosive power, but Auburn's Carl
Voyles, who helps coach the South
squad, retorted:
"Wait till Saturday. Well see
then"
| The game, which sponsors predict
will attract crowd of 10000 or
better, shaped up today as poten-
TALLY a free-scoring contest with
both teams tossing passes with
abandon.
The North has the advantage in
power-the line averages 200 pounds
but the Rebels boast a faster back
field paced BY Charlie Trippi of the
Sd Air Force.
Both squads are we'll equipped
with passers Trippi, former
Georgia Rose Bowl star, and Y. A.
Title of Louisiana State, for the
Grays, and Bob Hoernschmeyer OF
Indiana and John Churkran OF
Penn State for the North.
Trippi Has Great Spirit.
Trippi probably is the outstand-
ing backfieId star of either team,
and, says McMillin. "a credit to
football because of his fine attitude
and team spirit"
Working with McMillin on the
Blue coaching staff are Lynn Wal
dorf of Northwestern and Carl
Snavely of Cornell. Southern
coaches. besides Voyles, are Wally
Butts of Georgia and Claude Uittle
Monk Simons of Tulane.
Neither side would predict the
outcome, but as McMillin. told the

Above all, the Government must
inspire confidence in the postwar fu-

tunity and inducement to private en-
terprise to get busy and expand post
war production the moment the war
situation permits.
Labor realizes that only through
maximum production can its goal of
full employment be attained.
Also, labor is fully aware of the
need of expanding our social insur-
ance system to tide the American peo-
pie over the critical period between
the end of the war and the upsurge
of peacetime production. This insur-
ance is needed by the returning vet
erans of the war as well as by war
workers. It's enactment can no longer

Home Front Problems
But home front problems, being
closer to the minds Of the delegates,
will probably occupy chief attention.
We have already mentioned the ques-
tion of wage adjustment. Even more
basic than this will be the demand
for quick reconversion, orderly shift
ing of production from wartime to
a peacetime basis and the creation
of millions Of new jobs to take up
the slack Of expected postwar unem-
ployment.
The convention, we expect, will in
sist that Government, industry and
labor get together Immediately on the
formulation of an intelligent and eff
fective postwar program.
Henry Kaiser already has pointed
the way by showing how well-organ-
lied construction program can pro-
vide thirty million new jobs in the
postwar era. But no one man can do

strong demand for breaking of the
wage freeze promptly. The Little
Steel' formula was an added starter
to the agreement which resulted in
the no-strike pledge and it has be-
come completely intolerable so far as
the workers Of the nation are con-
cerned. Not only to avoid immediate
suffering but also to pave the way for
stability and economic justice in the
postwar period, the wage freeze must
be relaxed and hourly rates Of pay
must be adjusted realistically to meet
higher living costs.
The second major issue will be the
formulation Of an effective program
for the establishment and maintenance
of world peace. The American Feder-
alton of Labor already has gone on
record, far in advance of most other
groups, in favor of an international
organization to keep the peace-by
force, if necessary.
1t remains to be seen whether the
delegates will be content with gen.
eralized statement to that effect or
whether they will go further and adj
vocate specific steps-to implement the
international organization.
Without question, the delegates will
call for full labor representation at
the peace conference and they will
have something to say, too, on the
conditions which should be imposed
on enemy nations after victory. If
past policy is any criterion, we would
be inclined to predict that the Fed
Grafton will urge encouragement to
