So, in 1942, there was held a civic clinic in the form of public H 4-- meetings whereby more than 1,000 people helped to figure out what their town needed. Better housing, more adequate parks, auditorium, new hotel, airport, community center, physical and moral clean-u- p were on the list. It all spelled a job for a planning commission. Speakers were engaged ::or civic group meetings. Reports of the talks were carried in ocal papers. The mayor named a commission. Members read good looks and pamphlets for and employed the services of qualified architects. All the forces went to work for a New Castle that would give its people both the opportunity of an industrial city and the charm and ease of life in a small town. Foresee Future Growth. The program is based on analysis of problems and outline of purpose. While some of it is being carried out, the rest still is in the planning stage. With more than a dozen substantial manufacturing firms to it? credit, the city looks to brisk business and growth in the years ahead. Aplace where parking facilities are adequate is being substituted for a business district where traffic jams the streets. Quarters that will permit good health and induce good citizenship are replacing blighted areas and local public works proj ects arfe part of a general scheme for community developments.

Now you must admit that Joe McCarthy, Larry MacPhail and Bill Dickey are three rather smart operators as'far as baseball is concerned. Offense? With' Joe DiMag-giCharlie Keller, Tommy Hen-ric- h, Snuffy Stirnweiss, Joe Gordon, Nick Etten, Phil Rizzuto, Johnny Lindell, Bill Johnson, Aaron Robinson, Bill Dickey here was the last and least worry. The Yankees had their full share of fielding defense. But above all they had something more important their attack their offense their power at the plate. McCarthy, MacPhail and Dickey all admitted this. Nothing to worry about in the way of a attack. Stirnweiss had led the American league at bat a year ago .309. DiMaggio was a normal .340 hitter. Etten, Gordon and Henrich were at least .285 hitters. Keller was a .300 hitter. Rizzuto had been a .310 hitter. The team average should have been around .280 or .285. o, neers have succeeded in air condithe interiors of the com' war department recently published tioning freighters satisfactorily. panys its list of World War II casualties, Mrs. Charles W.

Yet most of these players were once dangerous each time they moved to the plate. They were batters to be feared. Today almost any one with a right or a left arm still hanging on can stop them cold. What has happened to the old- - . ' fashioned Yankee attack? Practically every member of the squad is a friend of mine. It isnt a matter of dissipation or lack of determination. They are giving the game all they have. On a general average they are smart, intelligent, hustling ball players. They feel lower than MacPhail or Bill, Dickey feel. .Their reputations, which means their living, is at stake. But they cant hit. You can understand one or two men moving into a batting slump. How can anyone explain practically' an entire team taking' the soapy chute at bat? There is no longer any question but that the tropical trip to Panama took a heavy toll. Those who went to Panama reported to St. Petersburg early in March in July condition. They were too far f ahead of any training schedule. I dont believe this nystake will ever be repeated. Anyway it is only a part of the answer.- It cant explain the entire story. When 11 ball players, who should range somewhere between .280 and 340, drop below .240 experienced, veteran stars who have been through the fire before you wade right up to your neck in what is technically known as a quandary whatever a quandary is trying to find the answer. Look at the Red Sox I You cant blame this on war years because in the same spring and summer interim, the Red Sox have placed five hitters among the first ten. The Yankees have had only one liitter Charlie Keller among the first 10. The Yankees have been down slightly lower than the White Sox were in 1906, when they were known as the Hitless Wonders.- - But the Hitless Wonders had Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock and Doc White who were pitching four and five-h- it games. - |
