'Keneiipp Urges

License Misuse
Traffic Director Cites
Slump in District
Driving Permits

The Metropolitan Police force is
urged to breakdown" on individ-

licenses and out-of-town license
tags, in report which Maj. Harvey
G. Callahan, superintendent OF
police, is scheduled to receive today
from George E. Keneipp, director OF
vehicles and traffic.
In the report, Mr.. keneipp re-
quests that the police institute q
city-wide survey to determine the
extent of the situation and take
steps to eliminate the use of illegal
driving credentials and tags.
However, the Police Department
pointed out that Inspector Arthur
E. Miller, chief of the traffic divi-

a plan for checking the matter
had gone into effect.

trict registrations have dropped
from 176,275 for the fiscal year OF

The fans argument is that as
long as he pays his entrance fee
and the game is offering him no
particular thrill for the money in
vested, he has a perfect right to
pick up mis- enjoyment and enter
tainment over another route, which
is letting the erring or futile ball
player know just what the fan thinks
about him..
The fan has a good case here as
long as he doesn't move into per-
sonaI invective. involving the play
er's ancestry and his present
family, which often happens. The
only halfway shock ! ever picked
up over a booing incident occurred
many years ago when Pittsburgh
fans started riding Honus Wagner.
Wagner was then in his 4lst year.
He had been an outstanding star
for over 20 seasons. He had given
millions as many thrills as any
ball player had ever displayed up
to the reign of Babe Ruth. the all
time thrill king. His brilliant work
at short with his bushel-basket
hands. his great base running, his
tremendous hitting through two dec
AIDES seemed to be quite enough
to allow for a few lapses in his fad
ing days.

Home and Visiting BoOs

But the theme song OF the base
ball crowd is: 1T isn't what you
used TO be it's what you are
today" Just what the Flying Dutch
man thought of the vocal raspber-
ries thrown his way no one ever
will know. But I've figured ever
since that if a home crowd could
boo Wagner, no one else should be
immune.
Ball players tell me they have
no feeling about being booed in hos
tile hamlets. l know John McGraw
relished the dislike he deliberately
built up in Chicago. ST. Louis and
other cities away from New York.
I've heard Matty booed in New
York-but not McGraw, although
he may have been.
The swiftest and most effective
reaction to booing from rival
crowd came from Cobb years ago.
Ray Chapman, Cleveland short
stop. had just been killed by Carl
Mays in a Yankee game. Cobb had
been quoted in an interview de-
nouncing Mays Cobb denied the
interview with considerable fervor.
The next day. appearing with the
Tigers against the Yankees. Ty
took a terrific vocal lathering from
some $4,000 Yankee fans. ITS
no fLn," Cobb told me that night,
ITO be booed, Kissed and cursed by
$1,000 American citizens"
But In place of curling up or
growing sour, Cobb stepped out that
day and got four hits, stole two or
three bases, scored several runs
and broke up the ball game. The
answer is that the big crowd was
cheering him in his last time up.

Shouting Up the Mob

This seems to be the best answer.
The best reply to a boo or vocal
cataclysm of hate and derision is
to show up the maudlin mob Of
goat-getters. You rarely hear them
booing a fellow who is making
good. No ball player ever took the
terrific vocal riding Babe Ruth alb
sorbed in the Yankee-Cub world
series years ago when he came to
bat against Jack Root in Chicago.
Packed stands how!ed and yelled
and called Babe names they
wouldn't print in the press OF pur-
gatory. The Babe applied even viler
epithets, one against 5000, as he
pointed to the center field flag pole.
That was the most famous home
run Babe ever hit in his collec-
ton Of more than TOO
"All I know about it," the Babe
told me later, sis that ball was

Thank you for your letter. It is gratifying to know

and we hope it won't happen again during the playing

We were up in Dunn and enjoyed every aspect about the

We ran into Sam Bear, director of the club. We had the same con-
grandsand. the directors of the club had asked us back into the
press box and the gentleman in the gray suit, G. L. Hooper, and we
shared the box the first two innings. 1t seems that the Hooper's posi-
ton is public address announcer and he needed the room for his
monograph records Such is life. After the second inning, Hooper
spotted an old pal in the grandstand and left us. We really can't
say we were sorry to see him go.
But the real business of the day was the ball game and it was
good baseball. Manager Mickey Katkaveck showed that we are
in for an interesting summer by springing out of the dugout and
stalking Umpire Freeman around the field: Mansger Jimmie Quinn
never attempted to second-guess an umpire or any sports official.
Il is not our job. But the fact that the calls were protested time
and time again probably was noticed by League President J. E. L.
Wade.
We rode down in the team bus, seated next to Jimmie Fox youth
fl right-fleder from New Brunswick. Jimmie has impressed us
with his speed in the sun-held and We were quite surprised to learn
that he has just turned 10 years of age. He has been handicapped by
a sore leg since the season started but it is fast healing
