There are several reasons for this. The average guy Is just an average guy. He isnt going very far in any direction. He doesn't like to see anybody get beyond his reach. "The reason Casey at the Bat was so popular," DeWolf Hopper told me years ago, "was because '.he pitcher made a monkey out of the great Casey." "A Babe Ruth strikeout drew even greater cheers than a Babe Ruth home run. The more popular writers knock everybody. They are not interested always in fact. They mow the mob likes to read the rap prime -- not the boost. There was a night in St. Louis when I spent a few hours with Ted Williams. Ted was bitter.

For example, the extreme in extroverts was Sweeney, the old Yankee catcher. Sweeney always gave his best This particular day he hustled but got the worst of the breaks. The crowds booed Sweeney with considerable venom. That night a few of us were telling Sweeney about the tough break he got. Oh, I did all right, Sweeney said. "Didn't you hear that fellow who was applauding me?" Here was one against five thousand. Thats extroverting to a high degree. Then there was the Red world series. Ted Williams finally bunted to left field against the Cardinal defense, Ted was safe and when the inning was d over the stands gave him an ovation. They kept on cheering. Williams never tipped his cap. "Why didn't you tip your cap? I asked him that night.

Mr. Robert Carpenter's and Mr. Eddie Sawyers Phillies have quite naturally absorbed their share and a little more of the season's baseball gossip. After their unexpected jump It iy It is i tto last season, they were expected by many to hold their third-plae- e spot, and by just as many others to lose a notch and probably finish fourth. For, after all, they had the Dodgers, Cardinals, Braves and Giants to han- dle. I know Eddie Sawyer was none too confident last spring at Clearwater that his team could finish third again. A year ago, Roberts had won 15 and lost 15. Simmons had won four and lost 10 at the end of the campaign. Miller was still in the minors. But look at what happened: by the middle of August, Rob erts, Simmons and Miller had won 39 games between them and had dropped only 15. This, in the main, is the story of the Phillies for 1950.
