Dixie Walker Most Popular Os Dodgers Outfielder Toast Os Brooklyn Fans New York. Aug. 12 — (UP)— In Brooklyn they call him the artful Dodger and that’s exactly what Fred Walker has proved himself to be. • Dixie," as he is known to all and sundry In the Flatbush, probably kt the most popular man who ever lifted a I*l in Ebbeta Field. Hight niyv he Is leading the players in metropolitan N<*w York in the war bond popularity contest—lailh in fan votes and In performi mice. Dixie's popularity in Brooklyn ! goes back IO the first lime he came to bat for the Brooks. On that occasion. he smashed out a game-winn-ing hit. That happened back in 1939. when Dixie was Imught from the Detroit Tigers tin mid-season. The score was tied In the 11th inning. Brooklyn had Iteen trying out a aeries of outfielders in an effort to get a pennant-dwlnning combination. t'p to the plate strolled a broad shouldered. Sandy haired young man from Georgia. That wa- Dixie He took a healthy cut at the ball. The little pill dropped Into the outfield for a single a -tingle that has endeared Dixie Walker to the hearts of millions of Brooklyn fans. Ever since that time, the voluble fans at Ebbeta field have yelled anil -creamed for the six-foot outfielder. Dixie does not play a -pectacular brand of baseball flrat he is steady J and consistent. Every time he Is taken out of | the regular lineup the fans scream their heads off. Every time some , other Brooklyn player in honored. , they chant, "we want Walker." And every time a Brooklyn banquet of any «ort Is shy an after-dinner ■speaker, Dixie Is the man who Is oought. ( There are two very Important reasons why Walker Is so popular with the folks In Flat bush. | One is the fact that he has had tough luck so many times Every time he started hitting hU Stride an injury or some other misfortune would cramp his style. And Brookly fans grarrtate to a fellow who runs into hard luck. j Then, to, he is an extremely , likeable sort of fellow In fact. ( Dixie once took u course from Dale Carnegie and ever since he has been making friends and influencing people. Dixie is 33 years old. Is married, and has three children. He was born In Villa Rica. Ga., but now makes his home In Free iwrt. New York. He started his major league career with the New York Yankees hac k In 1931 and has played with the Chicago White Sox. th" Detroit Tigers, and now Brooklyn. And that's the story of Dixii Walker — one of the best-liked fellows ever to wear the livery of the Dodgers.

bl —— Atlantic Charter Formed Two Yean Today Is Charter's Second Anniversary Irandon. Aug. 12—(UP)—Today Is the second anniversary of the Atlantic charter. Observers are wondering how Its principles can be applied so that big nations can have security and little nations the right of self-determination. It already has been made clear that the United States, Great Britaln and Russia expect a peace that will protect them agalnat future attacks by aggressor nations. And it is pointed out that this security probably cannot be won without some claims to new territory. The United States and Brazil have announced they will not permit the base of Dakar In West Africa to again become a threat to the western hemisphere. Great Britain la expected Io make demands for greater security to her life-line through the Mediterranean. This may lead to a debeneath the water. Her body was lixated 10 to 15 minutes later and Burnett immediately administering artificial respiration. He revived the girl after an hour's work. This marks the third life the IraulavUle pciiceman has saved through artificial respiration.
