'T'HESE soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen and coast guardsmen have all the work they can handle, but they still have time enough left for arguments, debates and rebuttals of one sort or another. Here is a camp query that covers practically every detail of baseball: To help clear up a lot of arguments weve had in this camp would you mind answering the following: Who is (1) the fastest pitcher baseball ever knew; (2) the hardest hitter; (3) the best natural hitter; (4) the best base runner; (5) the best infielder, fielding and hitting? Here are the answers from this lookout; 1. Fastest ball pitcher Walter Johnson, with Lefty Grove second. 2. Hardest hitter Babe Ituth. 3. Best Natural hitter Joe Jackson, with Nap Lajoie close. 4. Best base runner Ty Cobb, going away. Max Carey next. 5. Best inflelder Ilonus Wagner, great infielder and greater hitter. AT TIIE BICYCLE RATIONING BOARD Q. Why do you want a bicycle? A. Its the only card missing DUROCHER, man of Dodgers, muffed one in a fit of temper at about him, he barred LEO the Brooklyn recently when, stories written all except two baseball writers from the Dodgers dressing room. Leos vituperative feud with Brooklyn and New York baseball writers started late in June when the Lip heaved a wet towel into Empire Tom Dunns face at Fbbets Field. The local press gave Leo a very thorough going over for his actions. This angered Mr. Duro-chewho retaliated with the decree that none of the offending writers should enter the dressing room. It might well be explained that oru of the writers who may enter the sacred portals was off the day after the towel throwing, and so failed to get a chance to crack down on Leo.

What do you mean by that? A. My dad could ride backwards. And I had an uncle who could stand on his bead in the saddle. Q. Are there any bicycles in your family now? A. Those things I trip over in the dark every night cant be road rollers. r, Being barred from the dressing room doesnt really make a great deal of difference to the authors in their work.

However, it is the easiest way a manager may snub the writers, and its sure to rankle. Sports writers usually are an amiable lot, prone to overlook most human weaknesses. But it doesn't pay to discriminate against them. Rival reporters, in line of duty, will try their best to beat each other on stories.

Gene Sarazen used to say you cant take a seven on any hole and I had three win. sevens in my last round at Winged Foot in the National Open of 1929. Ive had a flock of sevens, which meant I had to work my head off on the other holes. The oddest seven I ever took was at Iloylake in the 1930 British Open. .1 was only 20 yards off the green in two, got into no trouble, actually didnt miss a shot, and yet took five strokes to get dowrn for my seven here. How could this happen? The cup was on a mound. My first chip shot ran up fairly close, stopped, and then rolled back. My second one slipped by the cup, caught a deep slant and trickled 30 feet on beyond. Then I took three putts. The ff'orst Temptation Championship golf, Bobby said, is largely resisting the temptation to quit after one or two bad holes. You begin to feel you can't win, so why keep on punishing yourself? The winner has to work for it ail the way, take his beating here and there, and then continue to work, harder than ever. I believe the golfer I ever saw is Ben Hogan. Ben works over every type of shot, sven the ones that look simple. He takes nothing for granted. Hogan has made no attempt to master any variety of shots. He sticks to a few simple ones, concentrates on these, and never gets Byron Nelson is another aard worker, although Byron can play more shots. But no one works quite as hard, round after round, month after month, as Hogan works. I had 18 years of tournament golf, from 12 to 30, and I know the nerve and mental beating one has to take if you are out to win. Just one lapse is enough to cost two itrokes.

Little Difference Ranking Golfers making, hard work and putting belonged to Bobby Jones. 3. The best golfing temperaments I ever ran across were Johnny McDermott, Jerry Travers and Walter Hagen. McDermott and Travers were marvels at concentration. Hagen had less tension. He also had as much golf smartness. The two best putters I ever saw were Walter Travis and Jerry Travers. In modern play this distinction goes to Horton Smith. Paul Runyan is close. Ive seen Harry Vardon play many rounds of championship golf and I cant recall ever seeing him play a shot from the rough or from m bunker. He was a bad putter, with a nervous stab. It was nothing unusual to see him take three putts from 10 or 12 feet. el low-whe- el Time to Come Leo would do well to remember that writers have good memories. Right now hes at the top of the heap. He piloted the Dodgers to the National league pennant last year, and has a fairly comfortable lead in the 1942 race. But there probably will come a time when Durochers lamp doesnt burn so brightly. Like all managers, he will make his share of errors. If they come too close together and if the scribes feel unkindly toward him then Leo's life will not be such a rambunctiously happy affair. The diamond Boswells of New York have faced such a situation more times than those of other major league cities. About the turn of the century, when Andrew Freedman owned the Giants, he not only kept slightly antagonistic reporters out of the clubhouse, but barred them from the park. For many years John J. McGraw allowed the writers free run. But then came a time in which John failed to persuade a reporter to hold back on an interview which the Giant manager had given him in a burst of anger. From then on McGraw didnt like reporters in the clubhouse. But Mac always was available after every game, and was of the greatest possible assistance. About Hill Terry Bill Terry barred reporters from the clubhouse, and thereby broke down the public relations of the club. It was last winter that Horace Stoneham and Terry agreed to promote Ott to the managership. With Otts regime came a renewal of friendly relations with the press. So this was not the first time that a manager ever failed to see eye to eye with the sports writers. It is not the unanimous contention that writers should have the privilege of moving without hindrance among the players. It may be that managers should reserve the right to exclude them from the clubhouse, Pullman cars, etc. But such a rule snould be enforced without fear or favor. It should be a matter of permanent club policy. It should not come as the result of some managers anger over a bit of deserved criticism. By KATHLEEN NORRIS little while you meet EVERY mother, or perhaps some mother and' father, who completely sacrifice their children to their own whims and comfort, and are rather proud of doing so! They dont understand or even like children, and they make no effort to do so. They leave the children in hotel rooms, or drag them about in hot cars, neglect them, laugh at them, spoil them, criticize and ignore them at will. Everyone knows these badly fed, badly managed children, who are by turns shy and bold, and in odd ways both stupid and shrewd. Children who have been left to nurses whose companionship would in five minutes disgust their parents. Children who are lonely, bewildered and uneasy in childhood, and destined to be lonely, bewildered and uneasy all through their lives. Rich Child Suffers Most. These are by no means the children of the very poor. It would seem rather that they are the children of the most privileged classes. In poverty, in the crowded slums of New Yorks East Side or the packed tenements of the Bronx, there is always companionship, rivalry, excitement; there are always dishes to wash and errands to run and babies to tend. No, its in the comfortable isolated mansions of the that childhood suffers most. One extremely wealthy girl in whose case I was interested, hardly saw her own family for the first years of her life. When at seventeen, she was finally permitted to enter the drawing room she was a fat, giggling, embarrassed and embarrassing creature who spoke infantile French and German and Italian and so was supposed to be educated, but who told the eligible young man to whom she was introduced that her favorite game was jackstones, and her favorite reading the Oz books, and who grabbed so eagerly at a box of candy and stuffed so much of it into her mouth that it was decided that Kathryn's introduction to society must be still further delayed. Then there was the case of the unfortunate wife of George the Fourth, a princess raised in a German castle, but so noisy and dirty in her habits that the dignified old ambassador who went to bring her to England as the regents bride broke it to her as gently as possible that her chances of holding the affections of George would be improved if she would make a habit of daily baths. Neglected Human Contacts. It is a strange thing that mothers who will spend time and money, who will worry for years over the book education of their children, often deny them the social help, the simple training in human contacts, in nice manners, in the making and holding of friendships, that is so much more valuable. It is a sad commentary upon our handling of our children that a book called How to Make Friends and Influence Peohas deservedly been a bestple seller for years. Here is a letter from a girl whose parents are apparently both highly cultured, persons. But how they have failed Bettina! My mother is an angel, and my father is a very wonderful man. writes Bettina, from her home in the suburbs of a great eastern city well-to-d- o Social-Registere- well-meanin- g YOUNG LIVES are They precious, those young lives entrusted to your care. They represent one of Americas most valuable assets; for without t cell' trained, healthy, happy children, we can hardly hope for the kind of disciplined and courageous adults we need to keep our nation strong. The years of childhood pass quickly, and before you know it your little son or daughter will have grown up. If he, or she, has had love and guidance and companionship, he will be able to face the problems of life unafraid. The rest is up to him. Q. Are you auure that there is a shortage of bicycles ? A.

No Prospects for the Disagreeing Young Lady This story was told of Winston Churchill by Gertrude Atherton: Shortly after he left the Conservative side of the house (of commons) for the Liberal, he was taking a certain young woman down to dinner, when she looked up at him coquettishly, and remarked with the audacity of her kind: There are two things I dont like about you, Mr. Churchill. And what are they? " Your new politics and mustache. My dear madam, he replied suavely, pray do not disturb yourQ. How far do you live from self. You are not likely to come work? A. Twenty miles. Q.

We live in a small but beautiful house with a lovely garden; I went to a school near Philadelphia for seven years, however, so I have no friends in our immediate neighborhood. My father is a scientist and is writing a book; my mother seems entirely satisfied with her flowers, her books, and the company of a few old and intimate friends. We Are Isolated. My fathers book is about obscure infections and h,e is certainly more conscious of them and more afraid of them than most people are. We take a few precautions that are unusual, I suppose, never wearing street shoes in the house and sunning the newspaper before we open it, but they are not serious enough to make people think we are queer. But yet we are isolated. In all my life I never had a party, or a friend to visit me even for one night, the letter goes on. Other girls visited each others families in vacations; this never happened to me. In the summers we go with an old professor and his wife into the mountains. Everyone is always kind to me; I have an allowance, I know my father is fond of me, and Mother would do anything to please me except that, as she always says, Father must come first. And Father doesn't like company. Voices make him nervous, dear. He doesnt understand young people. This sort of thing I have heard all my life. When I was about seven we went to China to study germs. There were small children on the boat, and the first time I played with them I was hysterically excited, and I had an embarrassing accident and they laughed at me. My mother took me away, to give me a whipping for this misfortune, and my sense of shame was so great that for the rest of the trip I would not play with the others, but played up on the boat deck by myself. At school I haj dear and warm friends, but we are all scattered now, and I don't ever see them. Discourages Possible Suitor. About four months ago I went with Mother to a lecture and afterward went in to congratulate the speaker, who is a friend. He introduced me to a young captain, who asked to call on me. My mother told him that we have 'a very busy Daddy at our house, and she was afraid callers would disturb him. But the officer persisted, and wrote to me asking me if my mother and I would meet him for dinner somewhere. My mother said I must tell him that it was out of the question, we would hope to see him again at some other time. This morning I see announced his engagement to a very pretty girl, a neighbor, whose home is quite famous for informal fun and hospitality. A. What do you mean?
