Mickey Vernon and the Happiness Boys

CORN is BACK IN STYLE in our town,
thanks to the Senators, who are producing
the best baseball show in the land these
days.
1t is long summer and the Senators
may sag sadly under their heavy burden.
But with more than one-third of the sea-
son behind them, they are in fifth place,
one game under the 500 level Moreover,
they have reached that lofty status with
some of the widest, most fantastic finishes
since William S. Hart was mopping up the
bad men in Hollywoods early versions of
frontier life.
This, mind you, is the team that was
supposed to win about 40 games all year.
1t might be fitting to say that the
Senators knew it all the time, but it
wouldn't be true. "Surprise?" says First
Baseman Dale Long, who has been playing
pro baseball for II years. You bet it's a
surprise. Why, you just couldn't expect
this team to do as we'll as it has None of
us ever played together before"
THIS is A CYNICAL AGE we live in
Things like esprit de corps and win one
for the Clipper" too often get the big sneer.
Yet if you dig into the reason for the
Senators heroics you keep coming up with
the same answer:
"These fellows are happy" says Pitch
ing Coach Sid Hudson. "And the reason is
Mickey Vernon. Morale is good. I've never
seen it better. And you bet it's important"
well, everybody's pulling for one an
other" Manager Vernon says. 'It makes
for happy family"
"Spirit?" says Coach George susce.
when fellows are in shape and happy
they'll give you good days work. And our
guys are in good shape and they are happy.
If they couldn't play for guy like'Mickey,
they couldn't play for anybody"
