"This Is the play used to break up double plays," he said. "It Is the most dangerous play in baseball and should be abolished. It should be because abolished it is unfair and cowardly and also Grantland Rice because it hurts more ballplayers than you know. I've had any number come to me for treatment of back or leg injuries due to collisions at second base. I can't understand why baseball tolerates such a play It will end or shorten the careers of many ballplayers in the course of time." Dr. Bennett Is 100 per cent correct. In the first place the play is unfair and cowardly. The player handling the hall, shortstop or second baseman, has no chance to protect Ills job is to take the throw anil make the relay to first hasp. The coming to the bag, has a clear shot at his unprotected opponent. The opponent is often completely at 's the mercy. The player handling the ball can have hack muscles torn loose or his legs or knees badly damaged. A recent example was the Eddie Joost case. Joost is one of the star veterans of baseball, lie was Connie Mack's most useful player, or one of his mote useful players, at least.

F. "Who, in your opinion, is or was the most graceful ballplayer you ever saw? Among those mentioned by the group were Tris Speaker, Nap Lajoie. Joe DiMag-gio- , Joe Gordon, George Burns and George Sisler." Nap Lajoie is the most graceful ballplayer we ever saw in action. One proof of greatness is that we can't recall any spectacular play Larry ever made. Ue made every type of play seem easy. There was no waste motion. For example, in covering second on a steal Lajoie used only his gloved hand. !!c had the knack of sweeping the hall to the with one motion. This grace extended to the bat. You never saw I.ajoie crouched and tense as most hitlers are today. He would stand it the plate A'ith the bat in his left hand and tae it up just in time to swing at the ball. In spring training, pitchers would test out Lajoie's timing They would get to him the first day or two in camp before his batting eye was adjusted to the ball. They would throw in front of him, back of him, in the ground at his feet, over his head. But Larry kept knocking the ball back. On a hit and run I've seen him throw his bat at a wide pitch and single over first base. Lajoie was no small man. He was over six feet and he weighed around 200 pounds. base-runn- er But the main trouble was he wasn't merely taken out of that particular play.

"Darling," she said altogether too precisely, "I've never lost a penny of our money." "How do you know?" asked Tony, a bit smugly.

So Leah got a pencil and paper and sat down and figured out her expenditures, to the last pennv. "Well," said Tony, "that doesn't mean you won't lose some if you continue to be careless.

Then one day Tony came home from work and went into the bedroom to freshen up for dinner and found two five dollar bills and some change lying on the bureau. He scooped up the money. "Hey," he said good naturedly, "we can't afford this. I found this money lying on the bureau. It might have blown away. Don't be so forgetful!" Leah smiled. "Oh. my!" she said. "Did I leave the change from the grocer there?" A week later Tony discovered a dollar bill where it had been idly dropped on the living room table and forgotten. "Listen, honey, you've got to be more careful. Money is pretty important to us right now." "I'm sorry," said Leah, "but it's only a dollar." "We can't afford to lose a dollar or even a part of a dollar," Tony said, smiling. The next time the time Tonv discovered three dollars on the kitchen tables and one on the floor, where it had blown he didn't smile. "Good gosh, woman! Show a little . . .

They say it was written upon a drumhead by the campfires of Washington's defeated and retreating army. By order of General Washington it was hastily printed in Philadelphia, rushed to the front and read aloud to the troops on Christinas night before the crossing of the Delaware and the attack on Trenton, which was the turning point of the Revolutionary War. It reads: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: 'tis dearness only that gives every thing its value.

The most fervent hope of every American heart is that the differences between nations may be settled without war. Only a burning wrong can force us into another war. Only a burning devotion to the principles of free government and to national unity and strength on the part of all the people can insure our victory over the forces of tyranny, if it is our destiny again to engage them. In 1776 we won freedom; in 1812 we held freedom; in 1861 we preserved the union; in 1898 we strengthened freedom; in 1917 our freedom was threatened and saved; in 1941 again our freedom was attacked and saved.
