VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Pure Corn, But Really True
BY FRANCIS STANN

MIAMI BEACH, DEC 2-It's pure corn
to say that winter baseball meeting is
melting pot. But it so happens that it's
true. The wheel spins fast and you're
winner or you aren't.
There is Casey Stengel, who hasn't got
enough time left to count his money. He
sits in the Fountainbleau-or earlier in
the week in the hotel lobby in Tampa
and makes with the quips. He is relaxed
and he Is rich.
And there Is guy like EnoS Slaughter,
at least as good an outfielder in his day
as Stengel, looking for job, EnoS is not
broke, but he doesn't have Caseys pile,
either. He is frankly, candidly, admittedly
looking for a job
Il still think I can play" Slaughter
says. Other people say, Slaughter, you
must be so years old, or close to it, How
can you play?'
"A guy is as old as he feels. The White
Sox made big deal-Minnie Minoso to
the Cardinals, and saw that Minnie's age
was given as 81. think he's closer to my
age. Anyway, what difference does it
make? If Minnie can hit and l can hit,
who's going to ask a guys age when he
steps to the plate? The umpire?"
SLAUGHTER MANAGED Raleigh last
season.
Il even played" Enos sighed. Il think
it might have been a mistake. The kids
expected me to bat 1000, I guess" Enos
wasn't happy with the kids" AS he stated
it, they were Class D players trying to
make it in Glass B."
He didn't bat 1000. but unmentioned
by Slaughter was that he hit in the neigh
borhood of $3.50, which is a right good
neighborhood. He still gave the kids
lesson or so.
Joe DiMaggio strolls past and by the
look on him it's got to be figured that
money in the wholesale food business must
be plentiful. And behind Joe comes Ted
Williams, who with his Sears, Roebuck fish
ing and outdoors connections isn't precisely
a pauper.
I'd like TO catch on as a coach"
Slaughter says. If you're lucky if
you're sitting on the right chair in the
right hotel lobby when the right guy comes
along. Bingo!"
1T WAS JUST about year ago to the
day that Rollie Hemsley, looking for Job,
wandered into a hotel in Louisville and
asked the new Washington Senators for a
post. Surprisingly he got it and it's
the incentive that makes such as Slaughter
maintain hope. Hemsley became a very
good coach, an almost invaluable member
OF the staff of Rookie Manager Mickey
vernon, who didn't even know Hemsley
well!
Now Elmer Valo is talking in hotel
lobby. This is the only major league ball
player. as far as is known, who was born
in Ribnik, Czechoslovakia. The records
suggest that Elmer was born on March S.
1921, That would place him past 49,
He's made the rounds Including one

Strings on the Green
Fill Summer Gap

Rossini was still in his teens
when he turned out his five
string quartets and, to judge
by the one heard yesterday, the
only remarkable thing about
them is the fact that he was
diligent enough to write them
at all. Number 3 shows little of
his melodic gift, has a few
points of embarrassing har-
monic awkwardness, and is
generally dull. AS might have
been expected. the upper two
strings play most of the music.
Yesterday some fairly demand
ing violin figurations prevented
that from coming off with
much accuracy.
The Steiner Quartet faired
better with Dvorak's thicker
sonorities and better still with
Walton's earnest young idiom
and rhythmic vigor. The group
nearly makes up in tonal
beauty what it lacks in digital
control. The Walton's persist
ent dotted notices could have
been even more precise and its
slow movement more sustained,
but the Steiner Quartet found
a rapport with this music that
overrode most other co9sidera-
tions.

The strings returned to the
green at 5000 Watson place
yesterday afternoon, bringing
with them second outdoor
chamber music concert spon-
sored by the United States
Committee for the United Ma
tions.
Outdoor" and chamber"
seem contradictory enough, but
the fact is that such rare
summertime programs can in
ject sheer delight into Wash
ington's dehydrated musical
life around this time of year.
The short series has been a
welcome relief and has proba-
bly, made more than one local
music lover nostalgia for the
Meridian Hill summer chamber
programs of Is to 20 years ago.
Yesterdays program was
given over to youthful quartets
by RoSsini and Walton, sta
bilized by Dvorak's popular
American Quart T."

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: For
quite a few years I have
been bothered with a chest
condition which my doctors
call a bronchial chest" All
they have ever given me is
cough syrup. No X-rays or
anything. I am wondering if
you have any suggestions.
Sincerely, Mr.. M.
WITHOUT X-RAYS and
other studies, how Is any
doctor going to know wheth-
er you have emphysema,
chronic bronchitis, tubercu-
losis, tumor of the lungs or
a dozen other conditions? I
mention these to show you
how Intellectual is the dag
nosis bronchial chest" It's
too vague. Like saying "rheu-
matism" to a patient with
out telling him what kind.
Consult a chest specialist.
For Mr.. L.: For excessive
grogginess and sleepinesS
after the noon meal, I sug-
gest that you cut out your
Martini and eat less. The
remedy may be as simple as
all that. If not, investigate.

Gently went to my doctor
with a complaint of diarrhea,
pains in lower left side of
my abdomen and gas. After
barium enema X-rays, I was
told that I had an inflam-
matory condition of the low
er colon for which there isn't
any treatment. There was no
malignancy; neither was
there a cure for my trouble.
I've been worried since-not
knowing exactly what is
what. Sincerely, Mr.. T.
1 DON'T KNOW, either,
but I suppose you want me
, to guess. 1t is probably di-
verticulosis, If it is, you can
relax. These outpouchings in
the lower bowel are quite
common. Occasionally they
become inflamed (diverticu-
litis). However, most people
with diverticulosis go through
life without trouble.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Please tell me what causes
neuritiS or neuralgia? I have
had it for years and in so
many different places
Mrs. L.
WHEREVER THERE'S a
nerve there may be neuritis
or inflammation of that
nerve. This causes the con-
slant or intermittent radiat-
ing pains commonly known
as neuralgia.
The causes of the neuritis?
I wish I could tell you, but
more often than not, we
don't know.
For example, here is a pa
tient with an unexplainable
Inflammation of the large
nerve - the sciatic nerve
that extends from the hip
into the thigh and leg. An
other patient with the same
complaint is a diabetic. (ThiS
may or may not be the
cause; but it's not unusual
for diabetes to have neu-
ritis.O And, still a third pa
pient complains of sciatica;
but this time the cause is
shown by X-rays to be a
vertebral arthritis that is
pinching the nerve.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

REQUES S T: Philosopher
John Dewey was more than
a little absent minded. r
One afternoon he and %
friend, absorbed in weighty
conversation, were stroling
down the street. Suddenly a
boy came up to them, tugged
at Dewey's sleeve and asked
for money.
Without even looking at
the child, Dewey took a coin
from his pocnet and gave
it to him. Then, suddenly
snapped out of his reverie,
he commented to his friend:
Il don't know what's come
over children these days-tte'
way they ask perfect
strangers for money" t.
But he's your son." his
friend reminded him.
Dewey took a look at the
boy.
"Darned if he isn't" he
muttered. s
