SYRACUSE WAWASEE JOURNAL

" 1 1 IJt THERE seems to be enough bitter argument and poisonous debate going on in the country without stirring up more trouble. But we have been guilty of this fault recently in asking whether Joe DiMaggio, Ted ' Williams or Bob Feller should be awarded the purple toga that goes to the American league’s most valuable player. The sniping Comes from many directions. “Why pick these three,” writes an indignant fan from Albion," Mich. “My vote, plus many others, goes to Cecil Travis of the Washington Senators. On a second division ball club he will never get it. Travis | has been far more valuable to the Senators than DiMaggio, Williams and Feller have been to the Yankees, W BF k; CECH, TRAVIS Red Sox and Indians. He has been hitting steadily between .360 and .370. “And don’t overlook Cullenbine, Thornton Lee and Frank Hayes. They’re out of the spotlight. But they belong there. . “If it has to be DiMaggio, Williams or Feller, make it Feller. Just figure him with the Yankees or Red Sox—at least 35 wins, maybe more.” Not Ouer Yet This is'bnly a sample from a day’s mail that ranges from vitriol to velvet. This country is packed with millions of baseball fanatics who may not get to see so many games, but who follow the play from game to game. Here are a few more examples: “If Ted Williams hits around .400 they can’t leave him off. DiMaggio is a great ball player. But so is Williams, who is also a better hitter.” “How can they leave off Bob Feller? Any smart manager will tell you he’d rather have Feller on his pay roll than any man in baseball. Ask Jimmy Dykes, one of the smartest of the whole Igt. Feller happens to be with a ball club, that can neither hit nor field nor hustle. But he is still the game’s leading pitcher, amj will finish that way.” “I’m not a New York rooter, but it was DiMaggio’s record hitting i streak that lifted the Yankees out of ; the rut they were in and got them started. He gave them the spark they needed, and broke up the race.” "They all forget the 1940 season. A year ago Hank Greenberg of the Tigers won under wraps. He was much farther in front of his field than any man in the A. L. this year. Hank was a 6 foot, 4 inch stand- ; out.” In the National The same argument in the Nation- ; al league has been obscured by the whirling dust tossed up by the Dodgers and Cardinals. The pennant race here is above any individual. But in a race of this sort it is almost certain that the award will go to a member of one of the two teams that made the race all year—that carried the league from dullness and mediocrity to one of the great battles of baseball. A month ago Pete Reiser was the top choice. Then Pete was hurt and dust began to settle in his batting eye. The Dodgers’ main entries have been Whit Wyatt, Kirby Higbe, Dolph Camilli. Dixie Walker and Ducky Medwick. Terry Moore had the jump on the Cardinal field until he was hurt. Terry Moore is a great ball player. "Terry isn’t out of the race yet. Then young Ernie White came along as one of the leading candidates. Johnny Hopp, filling in at first and the outfield, starring on both jobs, was well around the front until he was spiked. He still has his chance. So has Johnny Mize. And don’t overlook Frank Crespi and Jimmy Brown. The Cardinals have "had so many stars injured and out of action that it’s hard to imagine them with a complete team. They still have been more of a team combination than any of the other outfits. Not even the old Gashouse delegation outhustled or outfought their way over more rough and rugged terrain. The Cardinals have had the much tougher luck, the rougher breaks with so many cripples. DiMaggio, Feller, Williams, Travis and the others have yet to be named. So there’s no reason to get steamed up too far in advance.

Made Most of Opportunity To Illustrate His Point The prisoner charged with assault had been severely crossexamined by the prosecuting attorney, but still maintained he had just pushed his victim “alittlebit.” “Now,” said the prosecutor, “for the benefit of the jury, will you please step down here, and, with me as a subject, illustrate just what you mean by ‘a little bit’?” The prisoner descended and the spectators were astonished to see him slap the lawyer in the face, seize him bodily, lift him from the floor and hurl him prostrate across a table. Turning to the jury, he explained mildly, “Gentlemen, about onetenth that hard.”
