BALTIMORE, April 10.—Joe Mec-| Carthy today made a particularly intriguing nomination and toyed with | the idea of seeing it backed up in Yankee Stadium. The manager of, the Bombers announced that in Joe | Gordon he had the greatest all] around player in current baseball, The claim was advanced while McCarthy was doing a bit of fancy gloating over Gordon's success as first base replacement of so adroit a fielder as Babe Dahlgren. | Not only has Trigger become $0] {accustomed to his new duties that, the change at first base no longer draws even occasional comment in| the press box, but he is hitting .326| and is the second best run-maker| on the club.

“Gordon came to me as a short. stop,” McCarthy recounted. “I first| changed him into a second base-| man. Now he's playing first, and, I repeat you won't miss Dahlgren. | Joe could do a great job at third if | {he had to. Some day this season T| |may prove my contention about]

of a Ruth testimonial in 1928, the, spring after which he set his record with 60 home runs. What with a duststorm and thousands mobbing! the Bam around first base, that game of 13 years ago had to be called in the seventh inning. The crowd had lost all interest in any- | thing or anybody but the Babe, Yesterday Di Maggio aroused the! crowd of 5200 right from the start. With Buddy Blair on bpse, Joe] belted one over the left center fence, which was 30 feet high, at the 350-foot mark. A great catch by Nance cheated Joe in the third, but in the fourth heat Di Maggio bopped one over the right-field wall. Adding a single in the sixth, Di!

Lesson No.1: Even Pitchers Can Hit

ORLAHOMA CITY, Okia, April 10 (U. P) —Chubby Dean, counted on by Connie Mack to be one of the Philadelphia Athletics’

mound aces this summer, had learned his lesson well today. The lesson was that anyone with a bat 1s dangerous. The A's were square with Pittsburgh at 4-4 yesterday. There were two on, two out and two strikes on pitcher Rip Sewell. Most pitchers would have fanned when Dean grooved the ball, but Sewell connected for a home run and the Pirates won themselves an 8-4 ball game,

ERE'S advice too good to be wasted—even by a coloratura in full cry. Falls City is the beer that's mellow as a lullaby and as lively as a torch song, with never a rasp or a scratch.

Next time you give a party, whether it’s dinner-for-two or a full-fledged formal, let Falls City set the key—it will be the high note of the evening. Stock a refrigerator full—for it's just as good if there's only you to enjoy it. Won't you—soon?
