Big Three Bid for Batting Lead
.SPORTLIGHT
By GRANTlAND RICE.

4 YEAR AGO a brace of out
"a siders broke in and scrambled
up the batting leaderships They
were George Kell of the Tigers and
Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers.

Call Of the Wild

If you want to pick up any real
information about ballplayers and
their varying ways, you should
seek out veteran scouts. l stumbled
over nest, or covey, containing
three of these invaluable assets,
either located temporarily here or
passing through.
l had just one question to ask
why is it that the modern game
has so many wild pitchers who
have planet full of stuff but only
vague idea of where the plate is?
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1950-05-05

Joe, like Ted and Stan, looks
physically ready for a big year.
This is also serving notice on
Kell and Robinson that both
have a battle on before taking
over the lead again. A young
fellow by the name of Country
Slaughter might cut in.

The Leading SIugger


In the way of distance hitting,
Ralph Kiner has left the others
buried in snowdrift. His last
three seasons with the Pirates
have been years that almost
matched Babe Ruth. The 27-year-
old outfielder hit ST home runs in
1947, 40 home runs in 1913 and 81
in 1919.
II think Babes mark of go is
pretty SAFE" Kiner said in Cali
fornia, few weeks ago. you've
just got to keep hitting home runs
all the time. hit 20 in the last 80
days and still fell six short last
season. You have to get away good
to have even chance to reach CO."
With Johnny Mize not playing
too often and Joe DiMaggio getting
no younger, the main American
league job falls to Ted Williams.
Ted blew himself to 43 homers last
year, the best big-league mark of
his career. Stan Musial had SO
and this Cardinal is another who
may make his challenge But the
job of catching Kiner looks to be
out OF range now.
They were rating Luke Easter,
the new Indian slugger, as the one
to watch. Easter is long-distance
hitter with tremendous power, but
his spring hitting hasn't been any
too spectacular. There are more
than a few who believe Dolby, his
teammate, will get more home
runs.
Easter is smuggling giant,
when he happens to connect.
But swinging at big-league
pitching for the first time
isn't quite as simple as lighting ~
cigarette.
For all-around power the Red
Sox again should be the best hit
ting team in either league.

Room Becomes More Than One With Area Diyiders
By GIodys Miller
Secretary, New York chopfsr,
American Institute of Decorators

The old saying that history re-
peats itself is surely true in the
decorative arts.
We are constantly revamping
our appraisal Of the old. We see
that either the article itself was
excellent. but in our eyes used
badly. or we see in the use an
Idea adaptable to our living, but
substitute a material we deem
more suitable.
What are some of these older
ideas. forms or articles of furnish
ing that are reappearing?
In the first place, we are weary
OF small. box-like rooms. To have
larger ones within the old struc-
ture Of houses, we find it necessary
to use the space for many pur-
poses. So we think in terms of
living areas, dining areas and
sleeping areas.
Various Dividers.
To separate one area from an
other, we may use a divider of
some sort. It may be low Sec
tional bookcase with some form of
seating backed up to it. 1t may be
q partial storage wall with cabi-
nets opening on either side, or it
may be some kind of screen.
The new woven screens in
which bamboo and colored yarns
are contained make a marvellous
backdrop for a seating group,
especially If the ceiling is sufici-
emily high to allow a good pro-
portion Of space above. The prop
er height of these backdrQps is
extremely important.

Most people stop learning be-

claims, adding that learning is

that many of the great developed
their talents and skills in later
years. This should become a more
common experience as old e r
people themselves begin to realize
that maturity is not synonymous
with decline, but with promise.
Opportunities for this develop
ment and usefulness can be made
available through new social and
economic policies and practices as
the country wakes up to the ur-
gent need of making use of the
gre reservoir of natural re-
sources in its older population.
Failure to come to grips with

some gradual system of retire.
tnent should be worked out in in
dustry and elsewhere instead of

It is becoming more and more
evident that the whole country
needs to be educated for a longer
human life. Longevity is not just
an endurance contest, and people
need to develop new talents and
usefulness through the years.
The term declining years"
should become obsolete as men
accept these new views of ma
turity.
DR.. Martin Gumpert, writing
in the New York Times, main
tains that education for a longer
human life must begin in the kin
dergarten and extend through
the ranks of the oldsters them
selves. He sets up four goals for
this education: a. preservation
of social usefulness, wit h con-
tinuing growth in information.
knowledge and understanding;
~ preservation of health; (3)
preservation Of kill: and ID;
preservation of emotions an d
aspirations.
But before these goals can be
reached he warns that tive

be wiped out at the start. These
are, as he puts them. THE ides

gressive decline as the unavoid.

Age doesn't necessarily near

contends that retirement should
not be set at a certain age. 1.-The

AGE DOES NOT MEAN AGING

Americans are suddenly wax
ing up to the fact that maturity,
as well as youth, has its promise,
writes Josephine Ripley, news
paper contributor of Washington.
Happy ia cts affording the
proper outlook for youth and
those who have been accustomed
to feel that their age is a series
of stumbling blocks, or else a
wall, are pointed out by the
writer in the following:
A radical new outlook on lon
gevity is developing, and old mis-
conceptions W h ic h arbitrarily
limited the activity and useful
ness Of older people are beginning
to give W ay to more informed
and realistic views of mans en-
during capacities.
These new views are coming to
the fore and hammering for ad-
mission into national policy, as
authorities face up to the fact
that older people are booming
more and more predominant in
the population.
This facing-up began officially
in the first National Conference
on Aging, just concluded here.
The conclusions of that confer.
ence have an important bearing
on many phases of the economy
and will have far-reaching sig.
nifcance if they eventually are
carried out in new policies, as is
hoped.
These include the recognition

Communist Party Chiefs
To Challenge Smith Act
BY the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE IL
Communist Party leaders who
were convicted under the. Smith
Act plan to file a brief with the
United States Supreme Court to-

tutionality.
Passed by Congress a decade
ago, the law forbids conspiracy
to teach or advocate forcible over
throw of the Government. Trial
OF the party leaders began in 1948.
A party statement last night
said the brief would contend that
the law violates the freedom of
speech guaranteed in the First
Amendment to the Constitution:
and that the conviction was based
on mere advocacy of a political
theory. without taking account
OF the legal precedent that there
must be clear and present
danger"
The party said the defendants
