One Of Baseball's Greatest Moments One of the most memorable and @ematic games ever played has eome down to posterity under the wafair title of "Merkle"s Boner." It was the late-season battle between John McGraw's Giants and Frank Chance's Cubs, two bitter rivals in a bristling, knock-'em-down-and- idrag-"em-out struggle for survival. Feeling was high between the two teams and a rabid crowd of 25,000 filled the old Polo Grounds to over- flowing on that September day in 1908. The immortal Christy Mathewson of the Giants was locked in a tense duel with big Jack Pieister of the Cubs as they came roaring into the ninth in a 1-1 tie. Ironically } enough, the Chicago tally had come i) on a "home run off the bat of No Joe Tinker, a feeble hitter who 3 unaccountably hit the mighty " Matty as though he owned him, But with two out in the last hall of the ninth, the Giants had Moose McCormick straining at the leash on third base and young I'red Mer- Lle on first, with Al Bridwell 'at bat. He laced a clean single to cen er and McCormick happily trotted home with the "winning" run while fans stormed out on the field in delirious delight. The game was over. The game was won. Or was it? , Out by second base, oblivious ot : the milling spectators, the trigger- 3 brained and sharp-.ongued Johnny ie : Evers of the Cubs was shouting for 1 the ball. He alone noticed thai A Merkle, following the custom of a that era, had not run all the way 2] from first to second as he techni- ] cally wis supposed to do, but had P begun to outrace the crowd to the clubhouse. Both Giant and Cub squads were shouldering their way signer Pierre Balmain elaims the fashion scoop of the sum- mer season--a bathing suit that Lonverts to an -evening gown.

The controversy was carried to Harry Pulliam, the president of the National League, who decided that night to uphold his umpire. He ordered the game replayed at the vf tek end of the season, which finished ti f ~ rei y A with the Cubs and Giants tied for vA ; the lead. The Cubs won it, 4 to 2, and thereby won the champion- ship.

Wel crushed in sugar. ng his appreciation, Mizzen Mast tzel' The two-year-old isn't suffering from a hangover, but from occupational worry. Strictly a youngster in the tacing business, having made only a couple of starts, the horse got a headache just wondering how he will do against those "veterans" next.time out. s offer of a couple of aspirins To the surprise of almost nobody those Chicago Cubs were moping around the depths of the National League sub-basement; and even if Manager Charley' Grimm eouldn't have harbored any great hopes of a pennant-contender with the assort- ment of talent he had managed to collect, still he wasn't any too well pleased with the way his alleged team had been going. » . * ~ One evening, after the Cubs had dropped a tough decision, Grimm sat in his hotel room staring moodily-- we might have said "grim-ly"" but we'll spare you that--out of the window. In came Andy Lotshaw, trainer of the Chicago outfit. k LJ * LJ "You don't. need to tell me, I know how you feel, Charley," re- sympathy, "I'm the same way; I just tried to eat some dinner, but the food tasted just like sawdust and I couldn't eat a bite." * > * After the trainer had left Grimm played a hunch. He phoned down to the hotel dining-room and asked them to send up the dinner-check that Lotshaw had just signed. It read something like this; shrimp cocktail, soup, double steak with 'all the trimmings, two pieces of pie, ice eream and coffee Total, around seven dollars, * * * "When he had read it Grimm let 'out'a roar, and bounded out of the room gunning for Lotshaw. How- ever, Andy's spot of "sympathy" had turned the trick. Charley Grimm: wasn't mad any more--at least not about losing that ball game. * * * A e¢lump or 30 back we referred 10 the Iate Joe Jacobs, hight manages eniraordinary and gelaigy known as "Yussel the Muscle" While alive Joe was often vonrifused, in the minds of the public, with Mike Jacobs, the fight promoter; who has just bowed out of the fight business where, for so long, he ruled almost alone. . * * There are a million tales told about Mike too--perhaps none of them asaltier than the one/about how he took care of the $80,000 cash which he personally took away from Soldiers Field in Chicago the night of the second Tunney- Dempsey brawl. » * . The Windy City was- quite a tough spot in those days and, rather naturally, Mike was somewhat wor- ried over packing so much ready money around. He gave a motor- cycle eop twenty dollars to take him to the hotel in the side-car, but even when there in his room he felt by no means at ease. " * * "I figured that if some of those SPOR marked Andy in tones of deepest: tough mobsters knew I had it they might try to stick me up, even if they had to jimmy the door open; so I wanted to be ready for them. Before the fight there had been a party in the room and there were a lot of champagne bottles lying around, most of them empty but a few still filled., So I got a long table and stackeil it with bottles. Then I sat down at the table, facing the door. was all set to grab the phone and holler for the law. But if they got in before the cops arrived, 1 was going to heave bottles at them." LJ] * * TCH Mike sat there al' the balance of the night, preparec to go into his glass-juggling act on short notice; but nothing happened, Came the dawn, as the Hollywood script- writers used to phrase it, but still the Jacobs' brow was wrinkled with care. The eighty G's were safe, so far, but there was still the problem of getting it to the bank. » * * "I was afraid somebody might be laying for me and stick me up oii the way to the jug," Mike says, "for in them days they would do things like that to you in Chicago as soon as look at yofi--or even sooner--even in broad daylight. » * » "So I sat there wondering what the heck to do, and then I hap- pened to think of a niece of mine 'who had two little girls around five or six years old so I phoned and told her to fetch timm around to the hotel. So when they got there we pinned the dough inside the two kids' little panties and my niece ook them arqQund to the jug where met them a HNitle later and deposited the eighty grand." » * * With most men, you would put a tale such as that down to--waell, imagination, but not who was a character straight out of Damon Runyon, a man who started as a hustler, scalping theatre tickets, operatinf® nickel side shows and so forth, and who ended up as the biggest figure in the immensely profitable fight promotion racket, * * * Now he's departed, and the game has drifted into the hands of fin- anciers such as the Norrisses, who owh or control--among other things --at least three of the six Arenas in which Big League hockey is played. There's little doubt that they're far better and more con- ventional business men than Mike Jacobs ever dared to be; but we wouldn't mind placing a small bet that, when they pass out of the picture, there won't be nearly as many, or as amusing, yarns told about them. corn and watermelon, hay and fertilizer near the finich line, | and roots are chopped to a pulp and plowed into the strip.

So it is with a feeling of real satisfaction that 1 reprint here an editorial appearing in the Christian Science Monitor, published in Bos- ton, which says something which greatly needed saying, and is worthy of the widest publicity north of the Border, tere it is. "Recently there was a splurge in the press of the United States about that stupendous Amer- ican achivement, the Berlin airlift. The only thing wrong with this picture was the terminology. 'I'he airlift, as it happened, was an Anglo-American achievement, "Approximately one-third of the joint effort was British, paralleling the comparative resources of the two nations, The cost to British taxpayers was $26,000,000, and 23 British aircrew were lost in the operation, as compared to 27 Amer- icans, "The comparisons are unimport- ant as such. What is important is the. solidarity of purpose and the close technical teamwork which made this marvel of achievement possible. The . riit 'occasioned . by the Boston tea party finds no place in the lift provided by the Berlin sky party." To every word of which all Cana- dians who still take pride in a Brit- ish heritage or background can heartily say "Amen;" although, 'pessibly, the first sentence in the third paragraph might have been omitted. Such comparisons--such information is important. Ask any group of Canadian school kids about the Berlin airlift, and the chances are that three out of five of them would say that "the Yanks did it all." An" it shouldn't be so! on" GREAT BITAIN in the policy line of Britain's La- bor Party, is coming under some sharp fire just now. The fire comes from a some- what unexpected direction---from socialists and trade unionists. * A heavy broadside has just been aimed at the National Coal Board by the Fabian Socicty -- an influ- ential back-room group ef social- ists, whose early history is studded with names like George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and even Prem- jer Clement R. Atlee himself. The Fabians approve national- ization in theory, But they declare themselves "shocked" by the work- ers' own critical reactions to this particular example in practice. Research workers of the Fabian Society polled a "sample" selection of 88 coal miners and union officers to discover industry's own views about nationalization. Of that total, 84 replies supported eriticisms of the Coal Board as a swollen, bur- eaucratic machine. The Fabian Soclety declares that while the average miners' support for the Labor Government and of the theory of national ownership of the eoal industry remains unim- paired, their poll reveals "a serious situation ealling for prompt action." o Friction Cited "We cannot feel it desirable or necessary that nationalization should involve as much friction and frustration In the first 24 years as it has in present case," the report declares. THE UNITED STATES A little over three years ago, at an "American First" meeting in ".Chicago, one of the speakers was the Rev. Arthur W. Terminiello, a Roman Catholic priest from Ala- bama, who was then under sus- pension by his Bishop for utter- ances "detrimental to his church and the unity of our country." (He hds since been reinstated by the chufch.) ~ At the meeting in question Father Termniello's speech was vi- olent. While, outside the hall, an threw bricks and stench bombs, he attacked "atheistic, * communistic Jewish or Zionist Jews" and spoke of "slimy scum," "snakes" and "bed- bugs."

Top miniello was arrested, tried and fined $100 for disorderly conduct - on.the ground that his speech' had stirred the public to anger and cre- ated 'a disturbance. He appealed, and a few days ago the United States Supreme Court' threw out the conviction on constitutional grounds, The verdict was by no means unanimous, the nine justices split- ting five to four: and -this close vote in the Supreme Court clearly reflects a decided conflict of opinion on such matters. On the one hand there are those who, like the-court majority, advocate the widest .lati- tude in expression of opinion, no matter from what quarter that ex- pression eomes. On the otHer hand there are those who, like the court minerity, feel that extremists must somehow be restrained lest they go so far as to destroy eventually all freedoms of speech. , Just what effects this Supreme Court decision. will have on the trial of 11 alleged Communist leaders in New York does nog appear at this writing, But to an unbiased onlook- er it would seem strange if Father Terminiello could get away with such expressions he still used, and the Communist leaders be very severely punished. However, in the United States--and elsewhere -- it seems quite possible to make "fish of one and flésh of another," and do so legally, In any case, the professional Jew and negro-baiters, especially in the Southern states, are doubtless quite happy over the whole thing. | Pickups From Here and There Gossip always seems to travel atest over the sour-grape vine.-- alnut Bureau. # Many a young man has set out to conquer the world and ended up by getting married. -- Davenport Democrat. 1 'Today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday when you decided to do that putting off.-- Mason 'City, Globe-Gazette.
