at Its Best
BY RAY BEALS

Keeping Life Reasonably Simple
There was once an old sailor my
grandfather knew
Who had so many things which
he wanted to do
That, whenever he thought it was
time to begin
He couldn't, because of the state
he was iii!
That may not be great poetry,
but is describes a very common
situation. There are so many
things we want to do, and so
many demands made upon US, that
it is easy to founder about and
get nothing really done that is
worth doing.
Somehow we need to keep life
reasonably simple, focusing our
attention and concern upon the
things that are really important.
Nobody knows better than the
writer that this is not easy to do,
but it is absolutely essential if we
are to live happy and useful lives.
The other night | had the thrill
ing experience of attending
meeting of one of the Alcoholics
Anonymous groups. Believe me, |
learned something. One of the
fundamental rules in their pro-
gram to rehabilitate men and wo-
men who have become the victims
of drink is to ask Gods help in
keeping away from the stuff for
period of "a hours. In other
words, as my host told me, they
have learned that it is dangerous
to look far into the future and
merely to say, II will never take
drink again." But it is compar-
atively simple and practical to ask
God to give enough strength of
will to keep away from the bottle
for one day at time.
This principle can be applied to
any problem. Sure, we have plenty
of difficulties, but there are none
that we cannot overcome if we
learn to face them one at time.
Fortunately we don't have to
make all of our decisions at once
Though we often drive ourselves
"batty" trying to do SOY.
The Bible gives sound advice at
this point. 1t warns us that we
must "let the dead past bury it's
Dead" we must have no undue
anxiety about tomorrow, but we
must Choose this day" whom we
will serve. We can't do anything

The reckless leaders of the fremen's
union want to force down the throats
of the railroads and the public ridic-
ulous "make-work" proposal which has
been twice ruled out by Presidential
Fact Finding Boards duly appointed
under the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act.
This demand of union leaders for
additional and unnecessary fremen to
ride in diesel locomotives was rejected
after months ofhearings-by Board
appointed by President Roosevelt in
1943.
1T was again rejected in 1949 by a
Board appointed by President Truman.
Recent meetings with the National
Mediation Board have brought no
change in the attitude of the union
dictators.
Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1950-05-19

This strike is one of the
silIiest strikes in history!
What are these reckless union leaders
trying to do? They seek to cause thou
sands of their members to strike, and
throw hundreds of thousands of other
employees on and off the railroads out of
employment, with loss of pay to them
and their families, plus severe blow to
industry and the citizens of the nation.
Whot's fhs strike all obouf? If the
union has its way-what happens? The
present members of the union won't
get one cent more pay. They will merely
have been assessed for costly and in
defensible drive in an attempt to provide
more dues paying members for the union
by creating feather bedding" jobs for
additional and unnecessary fremen.
This is certainly one of the silliest
strikes in history!

Night Baseball Pioneer
In Minor Leagues Dies
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ST. LOUIS, April 26.-E. Lee
Keyser. IS, who inaugurated night
baseball in the minor leagues, died
today. He suffered a stroke
April IA.
At the time of his death Keyser
was minor league secretary of the
st. Louis Browns organization.
Keyser announced in 1929 that
his Des Moines club Of the Western
League would attempt to play at
night in 1880. The first league
game under lights was played in
early May, 1890, against Wichita.
Tt attracted baseball figures from
throughout the country. The ex-
pertinent was such a success that
within two months other minor
league clubs installed lights.
Keyser also was involved in a
famous, baseball controversy.
He claimed Cleveland in signing
EFeller, a farm boy from nearby
Van Meter. Iowa, had violated a
rule that had been made to pro-
tect minor league clubs.
Eventually. Commissioner K. M.
Lands ruled partly in Keyser's
favor. The commissioner let
Cleveland keep Feller but ordered
the Indians to pay Keyser $500,
the draft price from the Western
League.

Cards Send GardeIIa,
Once BasebaII's GreaI
Headache, 10 Minors
BY the Assoeiated Press

CINCINNATI, April 26.-It's
back to the minors for Danny
Gardella, the half-pint outfielder
who caused baseball a lot of legal
headaches.
The Cardinals sold the former
Giants fly hawk to Houston of the
Texas League outright for an un-
disclosed sum yesterday.
Manager Eddie DyeH of the
Cards said. II know he's been sold
to Houston, and that's ALL"
Gardella said. I'm glad to
know where I'm finally being
placed. I'm supposed to fly to St.
Louis tomorrow to see Fred Saigh
and I have no definite plans be-
yond that. I'm working for the
organization and when they send
you somewhere you have to go.
I'm sure Mr.. Saigh and will come
to terms and I'll go to Houston
and play the best that I cam"
Joined Giants in 1914.
Houston expects Gardella on
hand for Thursday nights game
with Dallas. The Bluffs also ex-
pect Chuck Kress, bought from the
White Sox.
The shift to Texas is Just an
other milestone in the tumultuous
career of the little New Yorker
who came out of the minors in
1914 to join the Giants.
He played part of 1914 season
after moving up from Jersey City
and 121 games in 1945.
Then he joined the parade of
American talent moving south of
the border for promised gold in
the Mexican League.
He and a score of other major
leaguers were banished for jump
ing to the OUTLAW" circuit.
Dropped Suit Last Year.
In February, 194s, Gardella
sued baseball officials for $500, 900
damages. contending his banish-
ment was illegal and deprived
him Of livelihood. He challenged
baseball's reserve clause as a
violation Of the antitrust law.
When Commissioner A. B.
Chandler forgave and reinstated
the Jumpers" last year-before
their five-year suspension was up
held firm and said he
would continue his suit.
But last October during the
World Series Gardella unex-
pectedly announced he was drop
ping his suit. Under his REIN
statement he went to the Car
dinals.
There were varied reports of a
deal" between Danny and base
balls brass. but it never was con-
fTmed. Recently Fred Saieh
Cardinal owner, was quoted as
saying Gardella didn't get a dime
in the settlement. Just a chance
to try a comeback.

Hudson goes against the Athletics
Alex Kellner. Robinson has fore
cast a l2-game winning streak for
Washington. and the Mats are
hoping he wasn't gazing into a
cloudy crystal ball.
At New York Saturday the Mats
had blown ST. lead and were
trailing the Yankees. 6-5. after a
crushing fifth inning in which
New York scored five times due
to Washington's fielding blunders
Robinson returned to the bench
and beloved. Let's get some more
runs. If we win this game we're
gonna win IL in a row." Eddie
belted across the tying run in the
seventh inning. the Mats went on
to triumph. Us. then walloped
Boston, 80, in their next game.
Players Look to Robinson.
"Eddie's the big boy on the club
the leader" declared Harris.
THE team looks to him for lead
ership and I'm thankful for it.
We got a tremendous break last
winter when we didn't trade him
to the Yankees.
That remark he made on the
bench Saturday couldn't have
come at a better time. I was
praying somebody would say
something along that line just at
that particular moment. If no.
body did then was going to my
self, but it would have had less
effect coming from the manager.
1T gave the club a pickup,
erased a bad inning from their
minds and made them concen-
trate on future innings rather
than brood over what had hap
pened. Yep, he's our bell cow and
it's a real leader we have"
Robbie's reputation receives a
stiff test tonight. for in left
handed Kellner the Mats will be
confronted with a pitcher who
beat them five or six times he
faced them last season as rookie

on Hudson for comeback. Prin-
cipally a sidearmer now. Sid was
