Sports Roundup
By GAYLE TALBor

NEW YORK R-The talk In the
office of the New York Giants had
for some time concerned that van
ishing type of American known =
the 300 hitter. There had been
various interesting theories as to.
why this once-flourishing breed Is.
going the way Of the passenger
pigeon and the buffalo.
One member of the seminar in-
sisted that they simply are not
turning out the kind of batters they
used to, when almost any club
boosted two or three players who
consistently bettered the figure
which additionally separates the
men from the boys. Another felt
equally certain that improved
pitching has steadily taken its toll.
Eddie Brannick, who has been
secretary of the Giants since the
second Cleveland administration
and probably ranks as the greatest
living admirer Of the great John
j. McGraw, listened patiently to
the amateurs and then told them
as follows:
There's really no mystery
about it. There aren't as many big,
husky fellows In the game as there
were 20 or Is years ago. At least.
1t seems TO me there are q lot
more little guys, and every last
one Of them Is standing up there
swinging for the fences.
They've learned that home runs
pay off in money. so why should
they waste their time trying 10 hit
singles and doubles the way the
old-timers did. Take Ross Youngs,
one Of the greatest outfielders we
or anybody else ever had. You
could see plainly that all he wanted
to do was punch that ball safely
anywhere just so he got a hit.
"A batter like that was diffictllt
TO fool. He was out there trying
only TO meet the bali squarely. ne
wasn't trying 70 outguess the pitch
er and get that one fat ball -
liked and could murder. Todnys
pitchers know exactly what Is 90
ing through the mind Of the batter,
and all they have TO do Is keep
him crossed up. I think maybe the
average catcher today Is a little
smarter than they used 70 be, too,
In calling for what the batter isn't
expecting"
There was q brief pause at this
point while the Beau Brummel Of
end Street was asked II he would
concede that there might Just pos
sibly have been an overall im-
proyement In pitching skill In the
past two decades. After al. there
were men who dubbed the old
timers for averages around 80
and still didn't win the batting
championship Of their league.
Il honestly don't believe pitch
ing has improved that much, II Il
ALL" Brannick said. .'in those days
you're talking about almost any
club could throw . couple Of coed
pitchers At you, and many Of them
were great ones. Are there any
greater pitchers today than ths
Groves and the Johnsons and The
Hnbbellsl"

opinion in this country that
prevented the previous admin
istration from agreeing to the
European demands.
Furthermore, Gen. Matthew
Ridgway's recent testimony
before the House and Senate
committees showed that the
Soviet peace" offensive had
made definite impression on
our allies, who are tagging
more now than in the past
in their commitments to re-
arm. The frame of mind of
the British and French today
is that steady rearmament
along the lines suggested by
President Eisenhower is a
waste of time and substance,
since they are willing to ac-
cept Russia's peace" words
at their face value.
President Eisenhower and
his advisers in the executive
and legislative branches of the
Government are far more OBJ
jective than our allies. They
look at the present problems
globally and regard the Com
munist threat equally serious
in the Far East and the West,
The Kremlin's dove of peace
may be f1uttering at present
over Western Europe. But in
Asia the aggressive activities
of the MuscoviteS and their
Chinese associates continue re-
lentlessly.
In this country, we take
a serious view of the fact that
at the time Moscow was
spreading honeyed words in
Europe it's Wet Mimi puppets
made a serious stab at South
east Asia in an effort to take
over Laos, 0ambodia and Siam.
They were stopped only by the
seasonal torrential rains and
there is every indication that
preparations are being made
to resume the operation later
in the summer. There Is thus
a definite contradiction be-

left open by ordinary attrition,
there also have been some or
dered cuts in several areas.
A tighter control also is being
maintained on ordinary station
operations. "The grass just

April by Military Air Transport
Service planes, along with mime
