Truman Owes His Job
To Casual Roosevelt
Act, Grace TuIIy Says
81 ire Assocscteo Press

President Truman owes his ele-
yation TO the presidency TO a
rather casual actor" by the late
President Roosevelt. So writes
Miss Grace G. Tully. Mr.. Roose-
velt's secretary for IT years
She said Mr.. Roosevelt casually
agreed TO switch Mr. Truman s
name ahead OF that Of Supreme
Court Justice William o. Douglas
for the 1914 vice presidential
nomination.
The current Ladies Home Jour
nal prints excerpts from Miss
Tully's story. shortly to appear in
book form, under the title. Stories
and Anecdotes about F. D. r My
Boss
Miss Tully, who is now secre-
tary of the Roosevelt Memorial
Foundation. says Mr.. Roosevelt
wanted Henry Wallace as a run
ming mate again in 1914 and heard
him say so many times. But he
was told by Robert Hannegan and
others that the convention would
not take the then Vice President.
Proposed by Hannegan.
Mr.. Roosevelt suggested Justice
Douglas. but Mr.. Hannegan. then
Democratic National chairman.
expressed doubt that Justice
Douglas could command sufficient
strength. and proposed his fellow
Missourian. then Senator Truman.
The President finally agreed to
accept either of the two. and. at
Mr.. Hannegan's request, wrote a
letter to that effect, but naming
Justice Douglas first. Just before
the convention met in Chicago.
En- route to the Pacific Coast
and Hawaii and Alaska. the Pres
ident stopped in Chicago and Mr.
Hannegan boarded the train.
! Miss Tully says Mr.. Hannegan
came out of the Presidents S sitting
room bearing the letter. came up
to her and said:
Grace, the President wants you
to retype this letter and to switch
these names so it will read Harry
Truman or Bill Douglas. The
author continues:
THE reason for the switch was
obvious. BY naming Truman first
1t implied that he was the pre-
| ferred choice of the President.

Grantland Rice mess for the three
top teams and also for many Of
their opponents.
1t :sn't at all improbable that
some team, possibly Cleveland,
will pull out several lengths in
front and stay there. Or it may
be the Red Sox or Yankees. But
the odds are we'll have no such
hell-for-leather riding down the
stretch next September.
There is the chance, Of course,
that the Athletics may improve
and the Tigers might move abb
ruptIy into a challenging posi-
tiOn under Red Rolfe. This
might make the bonus angle
even better, but it isn't an
even chance and the player
would rather let the club own
er take the gamble. As a re-
suit, over 30 balIplayers are
baking at terms, especially
those terms involving attend
ance and gate receipts.
What about the National league
race? This can be closer that
the American. what with the
Braves. Dodgers, Cardin S,
Giants, Pirates and the improved
Cubs-a rather uncertain medley
Of scrambled talent.
At this spot, the Dodgers and the
Braves have the edge, but it isn't
a killing edge. Any one of five
teams can win this race and most
of them can also finish in the sec.
ond division.
Reports of winter injuries
and ailments to Carl FurillO
and Rex Barney haven't helped
the Dodger outlook, but the
month of. May is still a long
way off.

Baseball Outlook :

ALMOST 81 MILLION spectators
paid to enter big ledgu ball
parks last year What will 1910
offer? An increase or drop?
Apparently, the astute athletes
are not looking for any increase
and they seem to be shy about
equaling the, 1913 roundup. They
are shying fway from bonuses ar
ranged on attendance figures You
can't blame them.
The ballplayer can see a dollar
or paying fan about as far as any
