Show T Phl.Phillipr 2r MR. FARLEY MAKES A SHIFT Jim Farley has retired as National Democratic chairman to head the New York Yankees. Eight years of football have been enough. Jim will find rt a relief to 6e in a field where the pitcher doesn't want to bat, field and coach at one and the same time. For nearly a decade he has been head over heels in national politics, where use of the "bean ball" is strictly ethical, and that's been long enough to convince him that life is more satisfactory in a business where its use is at least officially discouraged. Jim is an old baseball man himself. him-self. He was a first baseman on the Haver- straw nine back home. But he had to get Into politics to discover that a man could mean well and still get spiked in both. After what he has been through in the last few year's, it is understood under-stood that Big Jim has a terrific yen for a business where team play will be welcomed, where not more than one pitcher Is used in the box at the same time and where the use of amateur coaches is barred. James M. Cox, chief backer of Mr( Farley in the baseball deal, is Miami's Number One Citizen, and it may be that he has decided this is the only way to get the Yanks to train in Miami as an added winter win-ter attraction. Miami has everything every-thing else. Governor Cox's chief sporting interest in-terest is in golf. But it may be that, like most golfers, he would like to get his mind off it and thinks it worth a couple of million to do it Big Jim Farley has been the most underpaid man in politics. That wouldn't be so bad except that of late he hasn't even been allowed to argue with the umpire. And it has probably proba-bly been a terrific strain for an old b a seball player to be in a position where he can't find out whether his star pitcher pitch-er intends to keep pitching or to take a job as coach at third. There is a rumor that one of his last acts as postmaster-general will be to design a DiMaggio postage stamp and a Babe Ruth memorial post card. . Weu w,ish Jim 1013 01 luck in the baseball world.
