Everybody knew that President Truman was to be the nominee before the Democratic congress opened and the formula was so cut and dried that he was brought up to the hall and stood in a corner out of sight long before they could crowd the details through the microphones.

So the Braves can be charged with the worst luck of the season In losing Eddie Stanky for practically the rest of the season. For despite what Branch Rickey and Leo Durocher thought about it, Stanky has been the most valuable, the most useful second baseman in the National league. His absence from Brooklyn has accounted in large part for most of the Dodgers' doldrums earlier in the race. It has accounted for a loss of 100,000 in attendance, due to so many games lost that Stanky's pres ence could have won.

The fact that the Americans for Democratic Action could horn into both the Truman and Wallace con. ventions and get heard on propositions calculated to make publicity tends to prove and nuisance-powe- r that the American system of parties was designed to foster rackets.

President Truman is shown delivering a message before a truculent congress at the special tough session. The Joint session of congress, which he has termed "one of the worst" in the nation's history, gave him scant applause. This general view shows the President at the speaker's rostrum.

But above all in Stanky and Alvin Dark, thee Braves had the strongest second-bascombination in the circuit And it might be added that Stanky was largely responsible for young Dark's fine play and his marked improvement. On the day Stanky was hurt, both he and Dark were hitting .320. Both were among the first five among the league's best hitters. As a defensive combination they had no superior pair to face. Just how Stanky's substitute will work out has yet to be shown over a long stretch. This could easily be the wrecking bad luck that Mack was talk ing about. The Braves may win the pennant without Stanky. With the pepper box around they were the best team in their league, the i team one had to pick as the probable pennant winner. You know I what would happen to the Cardinals if they lost Stan Musial or where the Indians would be with out Lou Boudreau. outfield Athletics Have Pitchers The fact that a majority of the experts, prophets, and soothsayers still are waiting for the Athletics to crack hasn't annoyed Mack too greatly. Still he hasn't liked it too much. The records show that he has the soundest and most con sistent pitching staff in the league "And the facts show," Mack tells you, "that we. have Just about as good a ball club as the Yankees, Indians or Red Sox in other departments. It isn't as fast as it might be but it can hit and field and I certainly know of no other club that has more spirit. No club that has been np around the front for three playing months can be considered any morning glory.

I'm not the dra matic type." But he assured the farm leader that "ways can be worked out" to settle the explosive Berlin question without war. Patton had one more question on the international situation. "How close," he asked solemnly, "are we to war?" The newspapers, Mr. Truman replied, have overplayed the Berlin tension. The Russians, he was convinced, do not want war. "And we certainly don't want war," added the President. Patton also told the President that, while congress had passed farm price supports. It was only farm tho beginning of a Farmers need other program. measures, such as soil conservation, rural electricity and aid to rural schools, he said. long-rang- e U.N.
