Sitting senators who are 100 per cent New Dealers and who have X it been renominated include Alben W.

By stretch in the American league pennant race, piling up a lead that could not be challenged, the denizens of Gotham's "Little Italy" have been happy. For Joe Di Maggio was hitting and his bat was winning ball games. Joe's batting average is a barometer of joy or despair in the east side neighborhood where the sons of Italy have settled and raised their bambinos. In the early days of the season when Joe was in the with the Yankee ownership and his bat was feeble, there was consternation in "Little Italy." But as the season wore on and the Yanks began pulling away from the Cleveland Indians, there were smiles, for Joe had found his batting eye again. If "Little Italy" was happy over Di Maggio's revival, so was Joe Me- se 1 v r-'J- !.t ir-- Z f. news-pep- i well-know- n er are two charming with the crisp, very feminine look that proves they are new and smart!

His sensational young team- mate, Tom Henrich, broke into the game via the softball diamond. Ken Keltner who has made a name for himself this year as third baseman for the Cleveland Indians, was a member of a Milwaukee softball team that played in the world's championship meet two years ago long before he thought of professional baseball as a career. Baseball men who watched the world's championship softball tour- nament in Chicago which drew teams from 44 states of the Union, agreed that a player who can attain a respectable batting average against competent moundsmen in the fast ball pitching events, should be able to hit a baseball without ex- ceeding difficulty. The softball pitcher stands only 40 feet away from the batter at home plate, whereas the baseball pitcher stands 60 feet away. The ball he uses is not much larger than a reg ulation baseball 12 inches in circumference compared to SBi. It is 1585 nearly as hard.

McCarthy is noted for sticking with a player when the av erages are throwing him down, tie demonstrated that long ago with Pitcher Pat Malone when Joe was manager of the Chicago Cubs. In Malone's first year as a Cub, he lost his first five starts. Joe Is Game That might have discouraged the average manager, but not Joe McCarthy. He sent Malone back for his sixth start. Pat justified this confidence by winning that game and going on to become one of the most effective pitchers in the National league. Later when trou Die aoggea Malone and he was waived out of the league, McCarthy, now manager of the Yankees, signed him as a relief pitcher and he con tinued with good results for the Yanks until the close of last season You could cite other examples of this tenacious McCarthy faith There's the case of Pitcher Lefty Gomez, who ran into a discouraging series of defeats and finally worked his way back into the winner's es tate. Or you might mention Lou Gehrig, who was a bust in the early days of this season. Joe didn't give up on Lou when the fans and critics were panning him. And so Joe Di Maggio is the latest reward of McCarthy's loyalty. Joe's troubles this year started with his holdout demand for $40,000, after a brilliant 1937 season. Joe's holdout was a failure and he finally compromised for $25,000 a year after missing the training trip entirely. Obviously out of condition because of missing the training trip, he missed the first ten days of the season and one of the disciplinary measures adopted by Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the club, for this recalcitrant holdout was to dock Joe at the rate of $162 for each game he missed, or a total of 51,620. Once Joe got into the lineup, however, he was careful not to miss another game. Informed baseball followers are giving odds that Colonel Ruppert will refund Di Maggio's lost salary when the 1938 season goes into history.

The hits didn't blast into the outfield as they had in his two previous years and a home run was something of a curiosity. But McCarthy stuck with him. As a matter of fact he tried to drop Di Maggio into the lineup as r a on opening day, but was overruled by Business Manager Ed Barrow. That gesture, as well as McCarthy's serene confidence in him when Joe apparently couldn't get going, was a convincing evidence that his manager believed the slump was only temporary. Joe's performance in the home stretch of the pennant ra:e proved how right McCarthy was. Finishing his third year in the big leagues, Joe Di Maggio can rest and Invite his soul. His batting average, and also his record for runs batted in and runs scored mark hini as one of baseball's greats. Those who know this young Italian say Di Maggio is a misunderstood player. He has a reputation for aloofness that borders on the snooty. This is shyness, say his ftiends. oil CHAUNCEY W. WIST, Wano9.r |
