JOE TURNS BOOK REVIEWER IN HOSPITAL

Fugitive From Surgery Is ‘Enthralled’ by ‘Classics’ of Gate Crasher and Umpire Williams Reads Steamboat Johnson Dodged 4000 Pop Bott'es, and Wonders How Many He Stopped; Seriously Praises Article on II Duce. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—0f course as every fugitive from surgery knows therr' is a cer.ain amount of required reading in all hospitals. Such as ihr Irvin Cobb saga of the scalpel, the pathological observations of Frank Bcully and, if the patient happens to be completely defenseless, the hygienic whimsies of Eddie Cantor. Once thcj'e are disposed of your literary diet depends mainly on what your visitors think you would like to read. In the case of a sports writer —or, if legend is true, a lady of the chorus —any book Is likely to be an

adventure provided it is generously illustrated and the words do not run over two syllables. Speaking for myself, I started out wiin the inevitable Philo Vance detective piece and worked up to an epochal thing (as yet undiscovered by the intellectuals) called “Crashing Thru,” or the life story of One Eye Connolly, who admits to being the world's greatest gate crasher. In between there was a diversity of stuff which included a monogram on cock fighting in Ireland and the adventures of a minor league umpire by one Steamboat Johnson. I admit to having wasted hours of my time on some of the established classics, but this was more than offset by the fascinating word spinning and dramatic technique of Messrs. Connolly and Johnson, whose unique

Joe Williams

works I intend to discuss at further length a few paragraphs later. But before getting around to them I want to say a few words about “Sawdust Caesar.’’ Just a few. I've already warned you any book is likely to be an adventure to a sports writer. Well, this merciless picture of Mussolini by George Seldes

is the most astounding outline that has ever been mirrored in type. And not the least astounding feature of it is that it was so long getting in type. The story, apparently thoroughly documented, which depicts .he Duce as a political Capone with blood on his hands, Is still news to most of the world despite the fact that it goes back to 1922. And it’s not very encouraging news to friends of world peace and the future of Italy. If the brutal etching Author Seldes draws of the, Iron Man is even remotely life-like, there is -olid reason to believ* Fascism never will survive a great crisis, or perhaps not even the crisis in which it is now involved. I suppose you are right. This is hardly my field and it is presumptous to think anybody would be interested in my reactions to Mr. Seldes’ disclosures. I imagine I merely wanted to let it be known I had read a serious book. Anyway, I really was more at home with old One Eye and the umpire who calls himself Steamboat. Plenty of Glassware Steamboat is known more formally as Harry Johnson. It is his boast he has umpired 4000 ball games and dodged 4000 pop bottles. The exact number Steamboat failed to dodge is not given. The number must be considerable. Throughout his story he is being led off the field by policemen after being pulled out from under a pyramid of lethal glassware. The life of an umpire in the minors is much more hazardous than that of an umpire in the majors, and undoubtedly much more exciting. Steamboat has worked in all of them from the fabled ThreeI to the Southern, where he is now stationed. One year he worked in the National and put John McGraw out of a ball game. He seems to hint this is why he worked only one year in the National. He forgets in those days no game was official unless the umpire gave John the fragrant breeze. Gentle Pastime, Eh? Steamboat reveals that he carries —or used to carry—a six-inch snap blade knife and whenever he got in trouble he would get it out and pretend to be peeling his finger nails. One gets the- idea, reading the gentleman's story, that Steamboat’s nails were being peeled constantly. There came a day when the knife wasn't as important as luck. An At-

lanta crack-pot took a pistol shot at Steamboat in the umpire's dressing room, but for better or worse missed. Steamboat relates another shooting incident. It occurred in the Western League, known to the urn-, pires at the “Old 101 Ranch.” Apparently it was a wild place. The score was tied in the ninth and the bases were filled. The home team batter hit a high fly to left field. A volley of pistol shots sounded in the bleachers. The ball was shot to pieces before it came down. Everybody scored . . . “There was no danger of my calling that one against the home team,” Steamboat admits. Pedigo Victor in Three-Fall Scrap • i Blacksmith Pins Sherry for Triumph at Hall. Cecil (Blacksmith) Pedigo annexed the third fall in eight minutes with a “sign-of-the-cross” hold to win his match with Jack Sherry in the main event of the Tomlinson Hall wrestling program last night. Pedigo pinned his opponent to the mat in 15 minutes for the fall, but was the victim of a full cradle hold after 12 minutes of grappling in the second canto.
