these flattering words with a slight

Shubert could be located by day
through the expedient of calling the
Navy Department. After hours, you
could find him sometimes by call

Dorchester Apartments.
Next to the Navy, however, the
definite headquarters of Milton
Shubert was the National Theater.
II he was not there at the time of
the call, the night would not end
without his having turned up. A
message left for him would usually
get a call back in less tirne than
the caller would expect. And, on
Monday nights when he was in
town, he was as much a fixture in
the theater's lobby as the boxoffice

boxoffce.
That's how it is to he a Shubert,

During those years, Milton was

Hickey Switches Balance Of Power From
St. Louis To Brooklyn In Three Years

Giles Of the Reds and Bill De-

Hickey restored the two game

afternoon games, for one admis
sion to each contest.
What Hickey will devise next,
none can forsee. Not even Hickey,
but he won't sit still. He'll keep
his light shining far in front of
the rest. 1t isn't even a contest.
Owner Sam Breadon of the
Cardinals over the years paid
Hickey in excess of 81, 00O, 900 in
salary. He was worth every nickel
of it. .
Inertia kept the Cardinals 60

touch is no longer there, and the
Red Birds are slipping as rapidly
as the Dodgers are moving ahead.
Will Lippy Leo Durocher come
back?
1t doesn't matter. The big thing
for Brooklyn is that Hickey is
firmly %intrenched there, for where
Hickey walks victory flourishes.
Where Hickey rests is the abode
Of power.
There is no finer appraiser
of ivory than the interchangeable
Hickey, and the principal reason
for his sustained success is that
he never lost sight of the import
ance of the ballplayer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1b-(NEA)-
The rise of Branch Hickey from
a major league catcher of doubt
full talents to the dominating fig
ure in baseball rivals fiction's
most fantastic developments.
But it was no more astonishing
that B. R. transplanting the bal
lance of power in the National
League from St. Louis to Brook
Ign in three years.
Baseball men long since came
to know that where Hickey walks
victory flourishes.
Where the courrent Mahatma
of Montague Street rests is the
abode of power.
If you doubt that statement you
only have to look at the Dodgers
and Cardinals. Hickey the Master
has quickly built on the Go
wanus the same sort Of empire
he constructed on the bank of the
Big Muddy.
Hickey succeeded under dis
tressing circumstances in St.
Louis-small attendance, little
money, etc.
Switching from Sportsman's
Park to the gold mine that is
Ehbets Field, his job in Flatbush
was a comparative breeze. So he
lashes with velvet thongs a young
team to a championship observ-
ing with no sorrow the impending
fall of the Red Birds, whom he
alone made the mightiest force
in the National League.
An appraiser of men once called
Hickey ministerial in speech and
manner. Another, dipping his pen
in vitriol, called him a minister
with sheers. Yes, sheers for clip
ping rules and cutting corners.
Judge Lands warred with Pro-
fessor Hickey in St. Louis, de-
clared some 125 young farm
hands, Pete Reiser and Nelson
Potter among them, free agents.
The mass emancipation caused
n O breakdown in the victory
march of the blokes in the red
blazers, and, ironically, in Brook
lyn the professor wound up with
Reiser, anyway-a Pistol Pete in
full bloom.
Commissioner Chandler warred
with Hickey in Brooklyn, set
down his manager, Leo Durocher,
for the season.
Hickey merely reached down
to his Pensacola camp and
yanked in his old sidekick, Burt
Shotton.
Anybody Ear win with this
outfit" he easily could have told
him.
Hickey i~naugurated the chain
store system, born of necessity.
AS keen a baseball man as the
late Col. Jacob Rupert once call
ed the farm system "Rickey's Fol
ly," but the brewer soon learned
the power of the machine, called
on George Weiss to build a mighty
one for the Yankees.
Hickey had a clause in his con-
tracts releasing him from playing
or managing on Sunday, but the
Sunday double-header vas his
brain child. He has no reluctance
to grabbing the shekels on a Sun
day afternoon.
B.R. was the leading protagon-
list of night baseball-he and the
man he tutored, Larry MacPhail.
Hickey turns out baseball ex-
ecutives as well as players. Presi-
dent George M. Trautman of the
National Association of Profess
sional Baseball Leagues - the
minors - is a Hickey protege. So

McCarthy Intimates Say Satisfactory
Offer Would Make Him Manager Again
BY r GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. NEA).-
Those closest to Joseph Vino e n
Mccarthy say a satisfactory Offer
would bring him back as a major
league manager quicker than he
left Larry McPhail last season.
And 10 or more clubs C G
make fine use of this most slillful
handler of ballplayers-young ano
ole
BY World Series time last fall,
Joe Mccarthy, whose clubs &C
counted for nine pennants in Ii
years, was the healthiest-looki n g
manager ever to retire because Of
i'll health.
Marse Joe is 80, but Comm c
Mack at "a has kept a surprise
collection of Athletics in the first
division all the way along the
route. And Burt Shotton at g.
hardly has been a dud with the
Dodgers.
Mccarthy rejected the Brooklyn
bid last spring because he didn't
want to be a finner-inner for Leo
Durocher.
To be acceptable, any PROPOSE
ton made Mccarthy would h a v e
to provide for a future and a free
hand.
One Of the most unusual stories
in baseball is its seeming inability
to develop managers for jobs call
ing for $40, 900 and more.
Stranger yet is a manager like
Joe Mccarthy, still in fine physi-
cal shape, hiding away in a
sylvan retreat during a baseball
season.
Don't look now, but Jack
Kramer n Ted Schroeder will
defend the Davis Cup they won
from the Australians last winter
as though you didn't know.
The diea that the high command
awaited further tournament re-
suits before making a decision re-
garding Labor Day weekend at
Forest Hills is cause to laugh
right out loud.
The retired nonplaying captain
Walter L. Pate says Kramer, with
a game comparable to that once
unfolded by Don Bulge, woul d
blast professional c N p i o n
Bobby Riggs from the court.
In full stride, which he is at
present, the name of Schroeder
can be mentioned in the same
breath with those of all the cham
pions of the past with no apollo
gies.
Ted Schroeder passing up h e
national singles to return to his
frozen foods business in Los An
geles is refreshing.
The Stanford alumnus is the
first player in a long while to
furnish the slightest evidence that
tennis still has a 100 per cent
amateur or two.

no satisfactory opponent for Joe
Louis.
There are attractive matches in
the middleweight division, but ap-
parently they can't be made.
Otherwise there is a paucity of
talent.
There will be no major change
in New York boxing promotion
