one recall the most intelligent menY-
ber of the old Giant team from 1908
through 1918? / can give you his
name. He is better known as Bone
head Merkle - the Giant who for
got to touch second base in 1908.
Yet Fred Merkle was the best edu-
Gated member of the Giant squad.
But his refexes on the ball field
failed to operate as quickly as some
others who would have been baffled
by McGuffey's second reader. Fred
had to take time to think things out.
You can't do that when split second
coordination or intuition must rule.
For example, Rube Waddell was
a mental eccentric. But there were
few smarter, once the gangling
Rube reached the mound with a
baseball in his left hand.
There were two famous ball
players who, as far as 1 know,
never made a mental mistake on
the field. One was Babe Ruth who
came along from an industrial
school. The other was Nap LajOie
who was lifted from a cab drivers
seat in Woonsocket, r. l., and
trifie later was surrounded and cap
tured by Uncle Egbert Barrow.
Neither needed any college degree
to be smart on a ball field. They
were born that way.
The midland journal., 1946-03-22
Instinct and Intuition

The athlete who is naturally
smart in competition must have
high degree of instinct, intuition and
concentration. know Eddie Arcaro
figures it that way in racing.
"You haven't time to think in
a split second" he told me once.
"There's an opening or there isn't
an opening, and you have to make
up your mind in a flash. Which
means largely instinct for the right
things to do"
Ty Cobb had this natural instinct,
this ability to concentrate, but Cobb
also worked on these natural gifts.
II used to lay in bed at night for
hours thinking up plays" he said
once. II planned some of these plays
weeks ahead against certain
teams"
Old time ball players had no mo-
tor cars, movies, night clubs or 9TH
er distractions to kill time. So
many of them thought only about
baseball. I mean such men as King
Mike Kelly, Kid Nichols, John Mont
gomery Ward, Charlie Comiskey,
Hughey Jennings, Clark Griffith,
John McGraw and most of the old
Orioles.
The main mental asset in any
game is concentration. Many have
this needed ingredient more than
others. But the art or knack of con-
centration can also be developed.
Concentration means keeping your
mind on the job from start to fin
ish.
AS Knute Roclne used to tell his
squad-"Keep physically relaxed -
but mentally alert"

 The situation in Europe is matched in Asia by the dispute be- tween the Chinese government and the Central government; and in the Middle East by the tension over the war-born Palestine crisis revolving around proposals for the admittance of 100000 Jewish ref ugees to the Holy Land.

Writer'S Group Fights
Authors Authority
As Inspired by Reds
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 13,-Fifty
prominent writer's joined today in
organizing the American Writer'S
Association to COMBAT what they
called an attempt to establish
monopoly control over all American
literary production.
The association, which includes
Louis Bromfield, Katherine Brush
Clarence Burlington Kellands and
John Erskine. has launched a drive.
through its headquarters here, to
enlist 300 other leading American
authors in its fight against what it
terms a plot to establish a die
tatorShip" over all the Nations
writer's.
The association issued a state
ment referring to the American
Authors Authority" a group or
ganized in Hollywood by screen
writers and others last July.
The Hollywood group has pro-
posed establishment of an author
lty as the sole repository for all
copyrights" and operated much the
Same way as the American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publish
ers, which largely controls the pop
ular music writing field.
The New York groups statement
said it had been charged publicly
that the Authority was inspired
by Communists" It said the "Au-
thoritys" plan had been adopted by
screen writer's and the Radio Writ
ers' Guild and was pending before
the Dramatists' Guild. the Authors
Guild and the Authors League.
The association statement added
that "our hope is to persuade these
guilds to repudiate the proposal,
and, if they do not, then to take
whatever means can be contrived
to defeat this scheme"
