But his reflexes on the ball field failed to operate as quickly as some others who would have been baffled by McGuffeys second reader. Fred had to take time to think things out. You cant do that when split second or intuition must rule. For example, Rube Waddell was a mental eccentric. But there were few smarter, once the gangling Rube reached the mound with a baseball in his left hand. There were two famous ball players who, as far as I know, never made a mental mistake on the field. One was Babe Ruth who came along from an industrial school. The other was Nap Lajoie who was lifted from a cab drivers seat in Woonsocket, R. I., and a trifle later was surrounded and captured by Uncle Egbert Barrow. Neither needed any college degree to be smart on a ball field. They were born that way. i Instinct and Intuition The athlete who is naturally smart in competition must have a high degree of instinct, intuition and concentration. I know Eddie Arcaro figures it that way in racing. You havent time to think in a split second, he told me once. Theres an opening or there isnt an opening, and you have to make up your mind in a flash. Which means largely instinct for the right things to do. Ty Cobb had this natural instinct, this ability to concentrate, but Cobb also worked on these natural gifts. I used to lay in bed at night for hours thinking up plays, he said once. I planned some-othese plays weeks certain ahead against teams. Old time ball players had no motor cars, movies, night clubs or other distractions to kill time. So many of them thought only about baseball. I mean such men as King Mike Kelly, Kid Nichols, John Montgomery Ward, Charlie Comiskey, Hughey Jennings, Clark Griffith, John McGraw and most of the old CHURCHILL TALKS WHILE TRUMAN LISTENS . . . Former British prime minister, Winston Churchill, told the audience at Westminster college, Fulton, Mo., that the United States and the British empire should form a military alliance to police the world and to provide a bulwark against encroachments of Communist ideals and ambitions from the East. He recommended that the atomic bomb be kept secret. KEEPS CANDIDATE IN ARMT . . . Lt. Col. Harold G.

Army in Germany discovered the lists of Nazi sympathizers in the U. S. A. Army officials promised the lists would be made public. The State Dept promised the lists would be made public. A Cong. Committee promised the lists would be made public. . . . And what happened? Absolutely nothing! After all those the lists are still a sepromises cret.

This gentleman since 1894 appears in Washington on every occasion to voice his opposition to one and all measures before congress. Now he is against loan to Britain. He is General Jacob S.

Well need all the pitching we can get this season, the Cub star said. By that I mean most of the other dubs will be stronger where we will have about the same cast. We got little back from the service. The Cardinals, Giants and Dodgers will all be stronger. So will the Pirates, Braves and Phillies. Well be pitching to better hitting strength all along the line, while at the plate we face improved pitching also. That means tough going. A flock of dangqfous hitters have been hdded to the' league since last fall. Hitting in the two leagues? I cant see much difference. I had a better record in the National than I had in the American.
