• DODGERS SPLIT ' DOUBLE HEADER - WITH CHICAGO Brooklyn Has Won Eight Out Os Last 10 Games Played - New York, July 22 — (UP) - l Don't say anything, because the ~ Brooklyn Dodgers might remember •j they are the original dafflnoss boys i and realize they are playing the s best ball in the National League t oday. Down through the years the Dod- : gers, who wore first nicknamed the Trolley Dodgers when Brooklyn was leading the world in street car in- ; stallation 50 years ago, have furf, aished the comic relief for the ma- ’ Jor leagues. They took pride In their t role, clowning, playing and loafing > their way through ball games. The ! fact that Brooklyn has stood for ' these zanies so long lend-’ vivid I sub stantiation te the statement that it is tk*‘ bast baseball city in America. 4 There is an old saying flia’. "once a Dodger., always a Dodg r,” but when manager Burleigh Grime took ever Brooklyn managership at the start of the 1937 season, he said ’nuts. 1 was a Dodger once and they never hooked me up with all that ' smtsenae. The Daffiness boys ar« dead. Aerobatics, downing, playing and loafing are strictly out." , I' has been a tougher job than old Burleigh anticipated, making a bus- ’ fling, fighting ball club of the Go-

Only a very stout fellow I nnd I do not refer to his waist line) could have smiled and said “thank you” wl.wi handed the task of inspiring the team from what I like to call "the Windy City.’’ When a man says be will inspire a bunch of ball players he has cut out for himself a piece of inspiring as tough as the one George Washington had that winter in Valley Forge when the continentals were more iterested in keeping their feet warm than shooting a redcoat. What I mean to say is that it is no light tusk io kindle the flame in a professional baseball hand. It's a man's job and no task for a Boy Scout and two sticks. And the Cubs seem even more impervious to inspiration than any performers in baseball. They shouldn't be. of course. They labor for a rich and liberal owner who provides them with every comfort and pays them extremely well, an owner who stands willing to reward any inspirational play with a bonus. Yet for two years now the Cubs have- gone half-heartedly along, playing the kind of baseball that would indicate their goal was the last game of the season, and the devil take any after season exercises such as the world series. It has always been a mystery to me why any basebal Iplayer in his right mind and sound health would refuse to hustle like hell during the two or three hours a day he is on the field. Because I know of no other sport that places such a premium on individual performance. That box score in the paper every day should alone drive him to his best. There, in black and white, a player's worth is recorded day by day. Let him fail to get those base hits, let him slip into error, and that boxscore can become a coffin—a tiny coffin, yes, but big enough to bury the future of any player who ever lived. Let him drive, let him hustle, let him give all that's in him. and that hox score becomes an advertisement that shouts his skill to the Even if a man lacks in team world. spirit (and it’s hard to see how he
