Famous Athletes
The ninth book in series OF
Famous American Athletes of To-
day." compiled by Gordon Campbell,
had a nostalgia twist for local
readers in its description of the
near-riot at Griffith Stadium q
decade ago when Buddy Myer,
washington second baseman. and
outfielder Ben Chapman of the New
York Yankees came to blows. OF
local interest, too, was the chapter
devoted to the career of Joe Cronin,
San Francisco sandlotter who man
aged the Nationals. Fans still like
to remember Cronin crouched at
the plate with his jaw jutting de-
family at the pitcher, the tying or
winning run on base, and victory
hanging on the next pitch. Cronin,
still active as a player and and now
manager of the Boston Red Sox,
was one of baseball's greatest
clutch" hitters and won undying
fame as the hoy wonder" who
Evening star., 1945-12-02

managed Washington to the Ameri-
can League pennant in 1888.
Cronin also figured in the piece
on Tom Yawkey, millionaire sports
man, who purchased the Red Sox
and then bought Joe for a cool
$3.50, 900 to be his player-manager.
Here was one of the diamonds
most incredible stories. Yawkey
spent almost IS 900, 900 trying to give
Boston the best in baseball but
never had better than second
place club.

figures make it readable book.
No worthwhile athletes career with
all the usual ups and downs. heart
breaks and failures that he ex-
periences before he finally attains
success, can be condensed into
single chapter, and that, plus the
fact that there is a temptation on
the part OF most writer's to present
every hero completely equipped
with wings and halo is the only
criticism of this book would make.
Two books of technical nature
deserve places of honor on the
library shelf and one of these was
privately printed by the Thorough

tributed as working aid to the
press and radio. This was

ARMY TURNS DOWN
RADIO SCRIPT ON NEGRO
JOB DISCRIMINATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80 (ANP)
: The war department officially
tossed out a radio script on job dis
elimination against Negroes.
The script, written by Cpl. Ar
mold Perl, was titled " The Glass"
and was to be used on the CHS,
Assignment Home" Saturday
night series, which is put on in CO.
operation with the army service
forces. The play would have pic
tured how Negroes are discrimin-
ated against in employment
throughout America.
Amazement has been expressed
from many quarters as to the
about-face policy of the army on the
question of rights for Negroes
since the end of the war. Before v
J day, the war department ap-
proved a script dealing with the Ne
gro problem under the title of
Weapons for Victory
CHS Assignment Home" series
is produced by Bob Heller, who has
already approved Cpl. PerPs script.
According to speculation, CHS may
use the script in spite of the armyls
rejection. That happened two years
ago when the Office of War Infor-
nation rejected a script dealing
with the Detroit race riots. The ra-
dio network turned the idea over to
Bill Robson, it's writer-producer,
and the result was the "Open Let
ter to Detroit" show, which was
widely acclaimed.
