Jimmy 5heckard, @.
Ex-Cub 0utfieIder,
Is Killed by Auto
BY the Assoeiated Press

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 15.-James
T. (Jimmy) Sheckard, 68. former
baseball player with the Chicago
Cubs and Brooklyn Dodgers, died
today of injuries suffered when
struck by an automobile while walk
ing along highway.
A head injury proved fatal at
Lancaster General Hospital.
The former outfielder, who played
IA years of major league baseball
before retiring. was walking to work
at a gasoline service station Sunday
night when he was injured.
Auto Operated by Minister.
State Policeman c. E. Simmons
said the automobile was operated by
the Rev. Robert j. Pilgrim, So,
former executive secretary of the
Franklin and Marshall College
Alumni Association.
Sheckard was member Of the
Cubs famous IS" outfield that COM
bined with such greats as the i'm
mortal Tinker -Evers Chance
infield and Pitcher Mordecai Brown
to give the Cubs the world cham
pionships in 1907 and 1908.
He played with the Cubs from
1906 to 1910. The other members Of
the IS" outfeld were Jimmy Slagle
and Frank Schultz.
Sheckard was regarded as one Of
the greatest lefthelders of his day.
He twice led the National League in
fielding at his position, compiling a
1854. average for Brooklyn in 1902
and 1886 for Chicago in 1906. He
also was consistently good bats
man, though never league leader.
Made Debut in 1901.
zSheckard made his major league
debut with Brooklyn in 1901. He
played briefly with Baltimore in 1902
and returned to Brooklyn the same
year, remaining with that club until
he was traded to the Cubs for four
players.
At that time, he had been playing
poorly and was regarded as finished,
but he regained his form in Chicago
and starred in the World Series of
1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910. His 10th
inning hit gave the Cubs their only
victory over the Athletics in the 1910
series. He finished his major league
career In 1918 with st. Louis and
Cincinnati.

Lions Book Practices,
Hoping 10 End Slump

The tired and inJury-r1dden
Washington hockey Lions have won
only five and otherwise tied three
and lost nine games in the last
month, had practice session sched-
uled today and another tomorrow LII
an effort to regain enough zip to
check their slump. The boys aren't
at all enthusiastic about this prac-
tice business, especially after last
nights 9-5 loss to New York, but
they'll be there anyway.
Coach Jack Riley and the players
themselves know what's wrong,
whether they'll be able to pull them
selves together is another matter.
The forwards aren't co-ordinating
their attack as they should; they
aren't getting in front OF the net and
pounding the puck home. Most Of
their shots are those long prayer"
stabs. The defensemen, too, aren't
checking and blocking in front OF
the Washington net. All too ire
ouently opposing players find them
selves behind Lion defenses and with
clear shots at Goalie Davie Kemp.
A lot of the recent trouble comes
from injuries, about which little can
be done. Riley has twisted back
and Guy Roach bum leg, and
shouldn't have been on ice last
night. but there was no one to take
their places. Jimmy Wilson was
playing with patched head. Walter
Babey and Jim Sims were in such
bad shape from injuries they weren't
even there last night.
Five goals, enough to win an Or
binary hockey game, weren't enough
to make the Lions even close last
night as the Rovers scored four
times in the final period to take
home the bacon before crowd OF
1880 at Uline Arena. The Rovers
poured it on in those last 20 min
utes, forcing Goalie Kemp to make
18 saves in addition to those pucks
which escaped him. Hal Godon in
the Rover net had relaxing eve
ming, making only Is saves all night
while Kemp totalled 35.
Jack Gordon particularly was bad
medicine to Washington, going the
hat trick one better by scoring four
times for New York. His third goal
early in the final period broke SIS
tie. Teammate Doug Toole got a
quick pair midway through the ses-
sion to up the margin, and Gordon
completed his record performance
at 1888 to finish the nights scoring.

discussion into international poll
ties.
He expressed his dislike for the
Acheson = Lilienthal report on
Atomic Energy which forms the
basis Of the present United States
plan for international controls of
the new power, cr~iticizing it as a
plan to give the atomic bomb to
Russia"
Then Mcclellan asked Acheson if
it was the undersecretary's idea
that Russia is the chief rival of
the United States in the political
world.
Senator, if you think it is re-
levant for me to go into a general
discussion of Our relations with all
other countries, of course l shall
have to do it," Acheson replied. 81
think 1t is most ill-advised for me
and for the State Department and
for the country to get into this sort
of general talk"
Mcclellan persisted, and the com
mlttee's transcript shows the fol
lowing exchange:
McKellar-Mr. Acheson, as I'm
dersecretary of State, you certainly
know that Russia has general con
troll of a number Of nations around
her like Romania and Poland and
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
You know that the communists
have charge of all those, under the
overlordship, so to speak, Of Rus
STA?
Acheson - I am familiar with
the facts Of Russian influence in
that area.
Mcclellan - well, my statement
about it is correct, it is not?
Acheson-I beg your pardon sir?
McKellar-my statement about
it that they are under the general
control of the communist govern
ment of Russia, thought of as a
superior power right near them,
and yielding to Russia all the time
Acheson - the Russian influence.
II think, is the dominant influence
in that area.
Mcclellan - the dominant influ-
ence in those countries now, assum+
ing that Russia is reaching out MOI
only for those countries that she
already has, but is reaching out
for additions to her territory do
you not believe that if she gets this
bomb discovery, she would take
not only the remainder of Europe
but perhaps the remainder OF the
world?
Acheson-Senators, I don't think
that that is a question which Is
capable of being answered in the
way in which you asked it. l am
quite aware of the fact that Rus
sian foreign policy is an aggres-
sive and expanding one. l think
that one of the great efforts which
everyone is making in the United
Nations is to attempt to find mean
Of solving problems of that sort. Ii
those means and agreements can
be found, then there is hope that
there will not be major clashes. II
