to being the Henry MeLemore.
most refreshing human being alive
Most athletes are untruthfully
modest. During my days as a
sportswriter I must have asked Cobb
and Ruth q hundred times to name
their all-time outfield. Not one OF
them ever placed himself on the
team, although the record books
prove he belonged there.
Names All-Time Team.
Walking down the first fairway
asked Dizzy to name his all-time
team.
We'll, I'm the pitcher" he said
That's all he ever named, save one
other pitcher. When I asked him
if he would name a left-hander for
the staff he said, Carl Hubbell." 4"
Was he real good?" I asked Diz.
"Just wanta tell you one thing.
If you ever hear of anybody as good
as Carl was, call me up, and I'll
ride a bus to see him."
What about the last World Series,
I asked Diz.
1.-TWO ball clubs that were afraid.
'Fraidest two teams I ever saw.
'Fraid to hit, 'fraid to run, 'fraid to
do anything. Shucks, they made
baseball look like it wasn't no fun"
Most of the men who play golf
particularly If there is so much as
a dime riding on the game-belittle
their games. If they shoot in the
low 80s, they say they are 80 shoot
ers. If they shoot in the 70s, they
talk about 80 on the first tee. Not
Dizzy. He declares himself good,
with no fussing around. As mat
ter Of fact, he declares himself bet
ter than he is.
Best player in Florida" he told
me as modestly as a violet meath a
mossy stone when I asked about his
handicap.
Denies He's Getting Fat.
Dizzy not only thinks well of him
self on the golf course, but in the
locker room as well. After we had
finished our game, the four Of us
were taking showers. There was
Diz, Bob Hope, Mort Bright and
myself.
AS Diz was snorting and soaping,
Bob yelled at him and said, you've
put on little weight, haven't you,
Diz?"
"only in my arms, son, only in my
arms"
If seeing is believing, Dizzy was
telling Hope a whopper, because
there has come a little change in
the Dean midrif since I first saw
him throwing that high, hard "fog'
ball past the best hitters in the Ma
tionai League.
Dizzy is going to play In the re-
newal Of the Baseball Players Colt
Tournament next month. I asked
him what he thought of his chances
Wont be much fun winning that
one, because Hogan won't be there
Won't make me happy just to bea,
bunch of ball players"

The exquisite lave cloth which

Safety Council Urges
Public to Follow Simple
Safety Rules

The National Safety Council is
opening it's annual campaign to
hold down the Christmas-New
Year holiday accident toll. 1t is
particularly anxious to conduct a
vigorous campaign having in mind
the recent Labor Day holiday toll
which was the greatest in history.
Support of this newspaper has
ben solicited by the Council.
The Council pointed out that
traffic accident deaths, the num-
Der 1 killer, on Christmas Eve
and Christmas day run about
twice as much as the daily averag
twice as much as the daily
average. Heavier travel and fes-
tive spirit of the holiday season
add tothe normal winter hazards
of bad weather, slippery roads
added hours of darkness.
A set of simple rules for Christ
mas safety have been supplied by
the Council. 1t does not require
any complicated changes in ones
habits to observe these simple
procedures, but a traffic death
to ones self, or some person
close to one will certainly effect
a change in somebody's habits.
Here are some of the rules for
traffic: 1. Use extra care for ex-

ira holiday hazards, 2. put the
Christmas spirit of "good will" in
to your attitude toward drivers
aand pedestrians; 3. don't let
Christmas packages abstruct your
vision when walking; 4. don't drive
if you drink a and vice versa, and
5. start in time and take it easy.
Allow for winter weather and ex-
ira holiday traffic.
In the home : 1. Check your
home for anything which might
cause ar accident; 2. keep your
Christmas ire in water and away
from flames; 8. use electric tree
and window lights; 4. check elect
rical connections for shorts and
wornout wires; and 5. keep flimsy
Christmas decorations and wrap
pings away from the fireplace.
These are little things : but
they pay off in yuletide happiness,
as the Safety Council explains it.
The daily EXPRESS urges it's
readers to observe these and other
sensible rules faithfully. With
Christmas just a short space of
time away this should be done.
Ensure that there will be on
your door this Christmastime a
wreath of happiness, not a
wreath of death.

test for colored 4-Hers recently.
To qualify to compete in the con-
test each club boy was required to

ty in handling a tractor in a local

maintenance course each day COM

of tools, air cleaner service, igna-
ton, cooling system service, car
duration, fabrication and other
operations necessary for economi-
cal operation of the tractor on

IRIS A PRETTY SERIOUS INDICTMENT of some
/ thing or other these questionable influences
at work to put ball and chain on U. S. Business.
Take all this talk, for example, about dictat-
ing how much profit business can earn after
taxes.
That road leads to one inevitable end-a
wrecka6e pile of business, the like of which this
nation has never witnessed.
There are today, in this country, three and
half million businesses. The largest number of
businesses, small, medium, and large in the ma
tons history.
Against all the odds, despite all the resist
ance, business is the only major department in
our entire American economy that is self-sup-
porting.
And the simple honest reason is that u. S.
Businessmen have the brains and "know-how'
and CUTS to start business, and keep business 60
in9 at profit, taking all the risks of loss that
must be taken under our Profit and Loss System.
The only countries in the world who even
come close to our WAGES and prices, do 50 with
money and men borrowed from the Y. S.
Why then, do you hear among businessmen,
today, expressions of mounting discomfort?
Evening star., 1949-04-26

Why the growing reluctance to start business?
Why so often the remark Whats the use the
reward is no longer worth the risk?
The answer to that is clear, and two-fold.
Every schoolboy knows that the incentive
back of every business is profit. When that in
centive is throttled : business dies. Those who
are plotting this countrys future by ignoring its
past, may we'll take note.
Secondly every one of the 1S million
shareholders in U. S. Business, the real owners
of business, bought those shares under the self
same incentiye-to receive profit. Take away
the ability to pay that profit and there will be
no investors in u. S. Business.
If you need further warning take look
around the world. To England, where the only
incentive is mere subsistence, where man
earns all his ration cards permit him to spend
in four days of work. To Russia where the State
demands all the profit and the only incentive
is the threat of forced-labor camp starvation
and death.
We'd better take more than serious look at
this one Because just about every man. woman
and child in our country is concerned with this
problem of whether business lives or dies
