doubles and triples. If he could only run he would have batting average in the stratosphere.
 Lombardi, appropriately enough, broke in with Brooklyn in 1881 but fingered not overlong on the banks of the Gowanus. In 1882, together with Babe Herman, he went to Cincinnati in player swap for Joe Stripp and Tony Cuccinello. He spent II seasons on the American Rhine, where he par took in 2 World Series, including the 1889 classic, where he executed his famous dying swan" act to enable Joe Di Maggie and 3 other guys to scamper over his prone form with 4 runs and the worlds championship. A short hitch with Boston brought Lom, the lumberer, his 2d National League batting title and a transfer to the New York Giants, where his 240 pounds of beef and sinew have been en- sconced ever since.
 Today infelders play the out field when Big Lom comes to bat and outfelders play with their backs to the fences. But they can't stop the lumberer, who rockets a pitched ball off his bat like nor tar shell. As a result, the Horn of Plenty is leading the league in homers, runs batted in and extra base wallops. He's the most mur- derous swatter in baseball, the most well-beloved basher on Coo gan's Bluff and the happiest man on the Giants. He just loves to hit those line drives.

 The Japanese athlete, like any other, must obviously by a young man, one who probably served his Hirohito well. It is rather a sick ening thought. that perhaps the lowing, grinning pitcher facing the American batter was throwing hand-grenades at our marine and soldiers not too many months ago. It is our belief that many years must pass, and many changes take place in the Japanese mind before "the little sons of heaven" are ready to associate with our boys on any but a subserviant scale. Let them bow and scrape for a few generations and perhaps in the none too close future we may be- lieve their "So sorry, please.

Buried in the inner pages of most of the daily newspapers last week was an announcement that Japan has been invited to partici- pate in the forthcoming "Interna- tional Amateur Baseball Con- gress." This bare announcement was greeted with bombastic blast by Rep. Emanuel Cellar of New York. The Congressman labeled this a "monstrous trayesty of jus tice", "asinine", land entirely out of keeping with present events" It is amazing, even unbelievable, that such an offer should ever have been made. With the peace terms un- signed at this writing, and picker ing between the militaristic Jap anese powers and General MacAr- thurs staff still in progress, this department thinks the entire prop osition is more than "asinine." We would prefer to call it "revolting CllCuShC'

 serve to "Americanize" the little

 By any other name Big Lom would smell as sweet, however, for he is truly one of the great hitters in baseball as anyone will allow.

men from the marine bases at San

Mr.. Roberts reminded the audi

old now and no prospect of an early
peace, families of servicemen can
not be expected to sit home and
wait for their men to return.

crate or unwelcome tenants, Mr.

cases, while unusual, are the ones
about which you hear most. He said
the USO will attempt to keep such
undesirable tenants out in the first
place and that every effort will be
