The Milwaukee Braves are build
ing up steam for a fast sweep
along the Eastern Seaboard which
should determine whether there is
any substance to the ghost of a
chance they still hold in the Ma
tional League pennant race.
A highly regarded entry during
spring training, the Braves floun-
dered through the first half of the
season. But they've started to roll
in the last two weeks and last night
they ran their current winning
streak to six games with Cd
victory at Pittsburgh.
A getaway game with the
Pirates today will be followed by
four games in Brooklyn starting
tomorrow night, three in Phila-
delphia and three with the New
York Giants.
It would take a virtual sweep to
make the Braves a serious threat.
Teams have done it before, al
though not recently.
Milwaukee trails the second
place Dodgers by games and the
Giants by 10. In the past week the
Braves have cut their deficit by
5t2 lengths.
Neither the Braves nor the bod
gers gained any ground yesterday
because the Giants broke their six
game losing streak at the expense
of the st. Louis Cardinals 100.
Philadelphia vaulted into fourth
place with 80 victory over Gin
cinnati. Brooklyn defeated Chicago
81.
The Cleveland Indians kept roll
ing over the Boston Red Sox, 2-1
for the 18th time in 16 decisions.
New York beat Chicago rs ON

trimmed Washington 2-1 and De-
troit trounced Philadelphia 1872.

Cobb 23rd As
AU-Tin.e Greats

NEW YORK R-Branch Hickey,
who has been coming up with
ideas since he started in baseball
a half-century ago, has a brand
new one for the players and fans
to null over.
The 7o.year-old general manager
of the Pittsburgh Pirates has re-
duced to a mathematical formula
the answer to why pennant winning
teams Of the past IS years have
been successful.
THE formula is so revealing and
unrefutable," he says in a story in
Life magazine, "that it has COM
PEELED me to put different values
on some of my oldest and cher
ished memories"
For example he names his Is
top hitters and 10 best pitchers and
the results are bound to cause
controversy.
Babe Ruth is the No. l hitter
and Carl Hubbell the best pitcher.
Ty Cobb, who was regarded by
many experts as the greatest hit
ter of all time, is only No. %, and
Hubbell is placed above the likes
of Grover Cleveland Alexander,
Lefty Grove and Dizzy Dean.
In the hitting department,
George Sisler, Bill Terry and Paul
Waner, all of whom were over the
400 mark at least once in their
careers, are not listed in the top
Is.
The formula works on the basis
that the team with the widest plus
margin in scoring runs as COM
pared to the giving up Of runs
usually wins the pennant. Hickey
says it has proved correct 96.2 per
cent of the time in the last 20
years.
It deals solely with offense, with
the stress on power. He SCOTS at
fielding averages, and takes these
three basic ingredients: 1. On base
average. 2. Extra base power. 3.
Clutch hitting combined with speed
and ability to take the extra base.
Under his rating, Hickey rates
Ted Williams second to Ruth fol-
lowed, in order, by Jimmy Fox,
Rogers Hornsby, Hank Greenberg,
Ralph Kiner, Stan Musial, Joe Di-
Maggie and Mel OFT.
In rating the pitchers, Hickey ad-
mits he has not been able to figure
q better method than the present
one Of earned run averages - the
number Of runs, exclusive Of those
scored because of errors, that are
charged to a pitcher.

NEW YORK R-Subdued is the
word for the new" Eddie Stanky
who brought his Cardinals to the
Polo Grounds for a series with
his old playmates, the league-lead-
ing Giants.
No fiery-tempered little man
came striding out of the dugout,
with a chip on his shoulder, to
wrangle with the umpires. He had
a chance too, in the first game
of the series when Stan Musial
was called out at first on a very
close play.
The fiery skipper with the I'M
welcome nickname of THE Brat
wasn't even on the field. Coach
Johnny Riddle took his place on
the lines at third base as he had
done during Stanky'S five-day Sus-
pension.
Apparently Stanky has taken 20
heart the blast of public diSappro-
val that greeted his recent demon
stration in St. Louis, where even
the home fans cheered a forfeit
decision against the Cardinals. AS
he said in St. Louis, this affair
has opened my eyes"
Off the field, in the privacy Of
the st. Louis clubhouse, Stanky
was courteous, guarded in all an
SwerS and. still talking about win
ming the pennant.
Don't think we're out there GO
ing through the notions" he said.
Were still in this thing. We've
still got a chance to win the pen
nant." Stanky Strengthened his tie

in a mirror as he talked. In the
background, Musial and Red
Schoendienst listened.
AS the Cardinals are IAN games
back and still in danger of an at
tack from the rear by other sec
ond-division clubs, Stanky's talk
had the hollow ring of fight camp
publicity. Still, he is the kind of
man who never stops believing in
the impossible.
Stanky, the ballplayer, was a
spirited competitor who believed in
using any means, not specifically
condemned by the rule book, to
win ball game. Remember how
he shifted around back of second
base, waving his hands, to distract
a batter in 1850 until Ford Frick,
then league president, ruled such
arm waving should be illegal in
the future? And the time he
kicked the ball out of Phil Riz-
zuto's glove in the World Series
of 1851?
"My spirit and the desire to win
could never be broken" Stanky
said at st. Louis last week. How
ever, my human and public rela-
tons will be improved"
1t seems that Stanky finally is
beginning to realize the differ
ence between his status asan
hisoWndSt
ence between his status as an
anything to win" player and his
responsibilities as a manager to
his owner and the millions Of fans
from coast to coast.

You Need Taxes That Are Fair!

1t is unfair to allow the person who
from the natural resources to evade his
his share of financial cost of government.
After all he has preferred position and
has an obligation to return in part the
wealth which he secured from his preferred
position.
''Pity the poor millionaire" someone
has said If citizen realizes an annual
income of S1,OOO,OOO and federal taxes
take about 90 per cent of it, he still has a
100000 a year to live on-many, many
times more than the ordinary guy gets for
his years hard work.
The Bible duke, Chap. II, V. 48)
says, For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required: and to whom
men have committed much, of him they
will ask the more"
This simply means that those who get
the most from society should put more
back into society.

More taxes will be paid when more people
own more property and when more peo-
pie earn more income. More farm own
ers producing food and fibre abundantly
at full parity income will add to the tax
revenue. More farmers would rather
pay taxes and have their land than to be
without land and pay no taxes. Most
workers would rather pay a tax on a
$4,000 year income than pay no tax
on a $4,000 year income.

Taxes Must Be

First of all, tax system must be fair.
On this point we must be careful because
we can be easily fooled by fake claims
for fairness.
The most respected students of taxa
ton agree that the best method of col
lecting money for government is on the
basis of ability to pay Two things
mainly must be considered in this mod
ern method of taxation, namely, the
amount of income each citizen has and
the number of people depending on his
income. These are the most reliable
guides.
