Campaign Funds Plan
Is Opposed by Morton

Senator Morton of Kentucky,
who has just completed a term
OF service as chairman of the
Republican National Commit
tee, is opposed to bills now
pending in Congress to have the
Federal Government help fl
nance presidential campaigns,
and to require NATIONWIDE pri-
maries in place of conventions
to select party tickets.
TeStifying before the Senate
Elections subcommittee yester-
day, Senator Morton said a
Nationwide primary could be-
come just a popularity contest,
and jokingly added:
II would hate to have to run
against Wyatt carp"
Senator Morton said he
favors shortening presidential
campaigns, but believes this can
be achieved without legislation.
He predicted the two major
parties will agree in 1864 to
shorten the campaign by the
simple device of fixing later
dates for the nominating con-
ventions.
Another witness before the
subcommittee, Representative
Monagan, Democrat of Connec-
ticut, doubted this shortening
Of the campaign could be ac-
complished without legislation
fixing some time limit such as
so days.
In opposing Federal pay
ments from the Treasury to
each party to reduce the need
for large private contributions,
Senator Morton said the most
he would favor would be the
allowance of an income tax
deduction for small political
contributions.
He said the major parties
must develope a system of rails
ing their campaign funds sys-
tematically throughout the year
by general appeal to party sup
porters. He expressed the be-
lief that with taxes as nigh as
they are, the day of the big
campaign contributions is dis
appearing.

Track System
In Education
By JOHN ROSSON
Star Staff Writer

Beginning u6AL year, OlSJTlCl
schools will drop one of the
four track classifications fol
elementary and junior higf
school students.
The tracks now are labeled
basic one, basic two, general
and honorS.
School officials have decided
that the basic two classification
= used largely for statistica
purposes - will not be used a!
of next September.
This means the city's tracl
system will add up to threC
tracks at the elementary anc
Junior high levels and foul
tracks at the senior high level
THE senior high classification
basic, general, college prepar'
atory and honors - will not bI
affected.
Divided by los
The basic one and basic two
categories at the two lower lev
els have been in existence fol
about two years.
Basic one students are thost
with intelligence quotients of II
and below. They are taught il
classes with a pupil teacher ra'
ito of about 10 to /. Basic two
students are those with quo
tients of rs or above but arr
handicapped by three years o.
academic retardation.
School Supt. Carl F. Hanser
says the basic two designation
will be abandoned because i
appears it is no longer neces.
sary as a means of teaching
those students. The designation
has never been made a par
of the students record, but wa

no need to separate them from

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
There Also Was a Sentimental Side
BY FRANCIS sTANN

BASEBALL WAS SUCH an exact
science to Ty Cobb, and such was his
nature and youthful hunger and ambition,
that the legend sprung that the late,
greatest of all ball players, was a ruthless
man, incapable of compassion. As matter
OF fact, Tyrus Raymond Cobb was a senti-
mental person. The very men he fought
most, not all-he later proved he liked.
He feuded furiously with John j. Nc
Graw. Old-timers, knowing the PERSONAL
tiles of both men, were not surprised. Yet
in later years, nellowed by time and riches,
Cobb and McGraw became quite fast
friends
In 1886, when the Hall of Fame was
dedicated at Cooperstown, Cobb travelled
from Menlo, Calf, to the dusty little up
state New York village famed by James
Fenimore Cooper. This was no simple trip
but it was to set pattern for Cobb, who
became a regular at old-timers' reunions
thereafter.
Two or three years later he was back
at Cooperstown, although Cobb, of course,
already had been installed when the doors
were first opened. There remains the
memory Of Ty sitting on the veranda of
the old wooden hotel rocking in a chair
and slipping bourbon you don't see on the
shelves much any longer. Lefty Grove had
fancied the brand and Grove, rather than
drink it, seemed to chew it.
so THE PAIR OF EN- sat and Ty,
too, chewed his toddy, slowly and with the
air Of man who also knew how to enjoy
his libation. They talked baseball endlessly,
waiting for the Hall of Fame festivities to
start, and young-type reporter, listening
to Cobb mistily review the years, wondered
aloud:
This is the guy who cut infielders
and catchers to ribbons with his spikes?"
He did in his day." big dark man
vouched from another rocker, "but don't
think it was ever deliberate"
A couple of small boys ran up the
steps of the old veranda with scraps of
paper and short wooden pencils and showed
them in front of the big dark man.
"You ball player, mister?" one asked.
"Will you sign an autograph"
The man wrote his name on both slips
of paper. "Gee," one of the kids stared at
the signature, II can't even pronounce this
name!"
Larry Lajoie smiled underStandingly.
That's all right, son." he said. Now,
while you're at it, why don't you go to

One who concurs with Houk
is Gene Woodling. the Wash

Yankee. II played on some
pretty good Yankee teams" he
says, "but this one. except for
pitching, is as good as any. If
they had the pitching, they'd
be out front by 80 games.
THAT Richardson and Ku-
bek can move out there. Phil
Rizzuto and those guys never
made the double play any bet
ter"
But still it remains the home
run ball that excites the pub
lie and those watching last
night had their fill. Batting
lefthanded against McClain,
Mantle hit his first one of the
night and of the season here
high over the rightfield wall.
The second one cleared the

You can pronounce his name /. and be-
sides he was the champ"
He nodded toward Cobb. And Nap
Lajoie, one of the all-time greats himself,
spoke without rancor or envy. To him Cobb
was the champ.
AND so, 1T SEEMED, most old ball
players who matched skillS with Cobb felt
the same way. Whatever Ty did to win in
his playing days was forgotten and for
given. He was, they seemed to recognize, a
master craftsman who had to prove he was
the best :. . which he was.
In the club car travelling between
CooperStown and Washington-this is re-
membered now as 1939-Cobb and Walter
Johnson and some other $500 and $500
players installed in the Hall of Fame were
sitting. Cobb gave Johnson a rough time
in their eras, Johnson's starting in 1907.
He used every trickSin the book to thwart
maybe the greatest of all pitchers certainly
the fastest.
"The first time I saw this guy" Ty
told listeners in the club car, twas when he
made his first start. I really was among
those present." he chuckled, referring to
the claims of others who have presented
themselves as witnesses to the unveiling
in '07 of the Weiser Wonder If all were

Detroit that afternoon would number some
100000.

JOHNSON, A GENTLE MAN, smiled
slowly.

Not often enough" Cobb snapped
You did all right against me-" Walter
suggested, ruefully.
"I hit 1886 against you," Ty responded
with his trap-like memory. II hit other
pitchers better" Cobb must have fattened
up on some others to have averaged 1857
over "a years.
johnson yawned. I'm going to turn
in," Walter said. Goodnight, Ty Good
night, fellows"
AS johnson moved down the car and
out of sight, Cobb said, not without emo
ton, There goes the greatest pitcher who
ever lived"
That was the games greatest players
goodnight to perhaps the games greatest
pitcher.
