The frightened carrier con-

accounts Of his escapade. The
corrected version is in editions

The idea of the hoax came after

err can't do their pitching for
them.
The Cardinals, under manager
second baseman, Stanky, must be
counted as contenders. They fin
ished third last season for Stats
Marion despite a weakening siege
of flu and a plague of sore arms.
Everybody's a year older on the
Redbird crew, but the pitching is
still good and Stan Musial.
Nor can the Phillies be counted
out. Pitching won them the pen
nant in 1850, and pitching is what
they figure to have in '52. Robin
Roberts and Budda Church are
back; the Pills got HOWE Fox
from the Reds; and Curt Simmons
may be out of the army in time
to resume the bonus left-handing
that drove the club to first place
two seasons ago.
Another Ex-Red, Connie Ryan,
may solve Manager Eddie Saw
yer's troubles at second base.
The Reds got Catcher Andy Sc
minick in their dealings with the
Phils, and he figures to help them.
They need help-hitting help. But
Ted Kluszewski, who had a horri-
flying season in 1851, may start
hitting again, and if he does the
Reds ought to improve their 9th
place finish of last year. They
have the pitching for it.
Defeating to building in 1862
are the Boston Braves and Pitts
burgh Pirates. The Pirates had
only a couple of stars in 1851 and
the Braves drew about the same
number of fans.
This leaves the Chicago Cubs,
which is correct. They finished last
in 1851 and they have the where
withal to repeat.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. (INS)-
It seems assured that the Brooklyn
Dodgers will not repeat their
CHASTITY experience of 1851 and
blow a 1914 game lead in 1862.
Barring a miracle, they won't have
a 1914 game lead to blow.
And speaking of miracles, the
club that overhauled the Dodgers
to nab the pennant in last sea-
sons sensational closeout - the
New York Giants-figures as solid
favorite for the 80 run.
Two of the keys to the Giants
success-Second Baseman Eddie
Stanky and Center Fielder Willie
Mays-have gone, Stanky to the
Cardinals as manager and Mays
to the army as private. Which of
the two get a better deal remains
to be seen.
But the Giants have obtained
Ex-Cardinal Chuck Diering as a
center fielder and have a bright
cast trying out at second base,
with Davey Williams the number
one candidate. They still have
Yves Westrum, Alvin Dark, Whitley
Lockman, Monte Irwin, Bobby
Thomson and Don Mueller, and
their pitching, the best in the lea
que, actually has been strength
ened by the acquisition of Max
Lanier, who came with Diering in
the Stanky deal.
The Dodgers have lost o New

handler, to the army. Preacher Roe

the Kremfin hierarchy.

the Kremlin hierarchy.
Some, who have know him, such
as Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia,
believe that he represents the more
moderate element in the Kremlin
in respect to foreign policy:
On the other hand, Allied diplo-
matte reports have pictured him
as a tough, obstinate, ambitious
product of the Soviet machine,
with almost blind confidence in
thethe invincibility of Russia's mil
itary might and shocking ignor-
ance of the Western World.
A recent ambassadorial tele-
gram which reached the French
foreign office contained the COM
ment that "from the personality
of Malenkov there emanates an
impression Of violence and ambi-
ton"
A report from the British En-
bassy in Moscow, which followed
one of Malenkov's rare speeches
on the international situation in
November, 1949, said his remarks
contained nothing that would en-
courage the belief that any relax
alton of West tension could
be expected.
This same report described his
speech as "more violent" than the
one Soviet Deputy PRIMER V. M.
Molotov made on the same day in
1913.
Tt was in his 1949 speech on the
anniversary of the Red revolution
that Malenkov predicted a third
World War would mean the end
of world capitalism.
Asserting that "It is not we, but
the imperialists and aggressors
who should fear war;" Malenkov
said:
"What does historical experience
tell us? 1t tells us that the first
World War let loose by the i'm
perialists led to the victory of
the Great October Socialist revo-
luton in our country.
