Biggest Giver Of All Time While visiting France, the late John D. Rockefeller, jun., who died recently in Arizona, aged eighty-six, noticed that t h e world-famous Palace of Ver- sailles was in need of Shortly afterwards France found its architectural treasure being repaired at a cost of near- ly three million dollars. That was the kind of gener- ous gesture John. D. Rockefeller, junr., constantly made: He was the world's richest man. Many called him the world's greatest giver. - He and his :famous multi-mils lioneire father, who was also named John D. Rockefeller, be- tween them gave away the fan- tastic sum of over a billion dol- lars. Like his father, John junior regarded wealth as a trust to be redistributed for the benefit of mankind, For twenty years before oil king John D. Rockefeller died, '111 1937, John junior was in con- trol of the family finances, founded on vast petroleum en- terptises. The father Was frequently called the greatest money-maker in history. Yet he began his working life digging potatoes at 1 50 a day.. It was computed during his lifetime that if Adam could have lived from the time of the Gars den of Eden until early in 1P30, and had received $300 daily dur- ing the intervening 6,000 yeats he would have had about half John D.

However, on the day that jimmy Dykes moved from Des troit to Cleveland and J'he Gor- don did just the opposite, there had been exactly 321 big league managers since 1901, when the American League was founded, This figure included 173 for the National and 148 for the American, and broke down to approximately 20 pilots for each of the 16 clubs. It meant that the average manager had lasted two-plus seasons, a statistic which would be considerably lower, of course, if men like Connie Mack (50 years) and John McGraw (31 years) had not stayed around for so long. In the most recent five cam- paigns, including this one, there had been 29 changes in field leaders, with about two and a half months of 1960 remaining. Today's manager is much less secure in his job than his older brother and there is a reason — the general manager. Back in the days when Clark Griffith, Connie Mack, Frank, Navin, Phil Ball and their kind ran ball clubs in the majors, the general manager was unknown, and unnecessary. One man often owned and ran his club, having only a field leader to direct personnel and to confer with, on player trades and purchases. There were no farm systems to oversee, no wide open, high- priced bonus market. Scouting staffs were limited and, in some cases, nonexistent, writes Rumill in the Christian Science Monitor. 'There were no lucrative radio and television contracts to con- sider. Front office competition was at a minimum. The club owner could handle most of it himself. But the game progressed and grew into a multimillion-dollar business, as the farm system be- came established, and as groups replaced'the one-owner plan, the general manager not only be- came essential, he became recog- nized as the most important ex- ecutive in the organization. He was given the authority to pick and fire the manager, to have final say on all player deals. The owner or owners quickly faded into the back- ground. But in'the wake of recent de- velopments on the major scene, one wonders if the general man- ager is getting out of hand? Are the owners firing the wrong men? Even a bleacherite is aware that it is much simpler to re- place the manager of a losing ball club than a bulk of the 25 players on the roster. But when a team is losing, is sputtering aimlessly in .the sec- ond division, all seem to lose eight of the fact that a manager Is only as good as his players — players, of course, who were given him by the general man- ager. Consequently, if these players fail to produce the winning pat- tern, how can the manager be more to blame than the general manager? Yet, managers come and go, while the general manager seems to go on forever. No one can be closer to the situation than the man on the field and many managers will frankly whisper that today's general manager has far too much power and too often sticks his eager fingers in the manage- rial pie. In most cases, ball clubs might be snore successful if they gave the game back to the manstger.

A Man Or Just A BigApe? 1S the Yeti or Abominable Snowman, the hairy, man-like mystery creature whose foot- prints continue to puzzle Hima- layan climbers, a survival of a giant prehistoric ape species of Chinese origin? This question springs from a novel series of experiments, just made by Mr, Wladimir Tschernezky, a technical assist- ant at Queen Mary College, London. Very cleverly and ac- curately, he has constructed a plaster cast from photographs of the Yeti's footprints. These pitcures were taken by Mr. Eric Shipton, when climb- ing Everest's upper reaches in 1955 on his famous reconnais- sance expedition. They confirm- ed, too, pictureS he'd taken ear- lier of Yeti tracks, when scaling the Guauri Sankar range of Everest in 1951, The cast, thus constructed, gives a foot mea- .suring twelve inches 1 o n g, seven-and-a-half inches across the sole, and six - and - a - half inches across the heel, Mr. Tschernezky has compar- ed it with prints made by the Himalayan, black bear and the langur, a long-tailed Asiatic ;Monkey. Some scientists say that the 1 an g u r may be the "Abominable S n owm a n." Its black, bare face, shaggy brown hair, and almost human cry of fear fit the 'half- man, half beast" description given by eye- witnesses to Eric Shipton. But Mr. Tschernezky says there is no real comparison. His Yeti foot has a conspicuously thick big toe, resembling that of present-day mountain gorillas. This toe has a distinctive grasp- ing axis, adapted for tree climb- ing, and the smaller three toes are webbed at their base. Reporting his discoveries in the scientific journal, "Nature," Mr. Tschernezky suggests that a creature resembling the prehis- toric gigantopitheeus (giant ape) still haunts the Himalayas, This creature, reconstructed from fos- sil finds, was a giant Chinese ape thought to have become ex- tinct about half a million years ago, Chinese traffickers in magic often' sold the ape's huge molars. as dragon's teeth. Some Oriental chemists ground up these finds, and produced powders which they sold as cure-alls and pick- Ine-ups, BRIGHTLY, TOO! "Hey, I don't see any street lamps," said a visitor to a resi- dent. "You told me this village. was lighted by electricity." "It is," replied the resident. "whenever we have a thunder- storm." Hammond, a dealer in all sorts of merchandise, was look- ing for hickory nuts in North Carolina when he discoverer] something infinitely more excit- ing. It was, a stone, worn with age and encrusted with moss. Just decipherable was an inscription that seemed to solve a mystery which had puzzled men for near- le three and a half 'centuries. The lettering was in Elizabeth- an English, and it gave the names of Ananias and Virginia Dare, who went "Unto Heaven" in 1591. It also revealed how_ the Dare family and other English colonists had suffered hardships and sickness, and how many had died — by the tomahawks of savage Indians. Not an unusual tragedy in those days, of course. Many col- onists met their deaths violently in a strange and "hostile land. Why, then, was Hammond's find — if genuine — so highly im- portant? Because it threw light on the fate of a party of English set- ters who, after being put ashore, were never seen again. Several attempts were made to trace them but not one clue was found. They had disappeared in the brooding forests and lonely plains? Those English colonists, eighty- nine men, seventeen women and eleven children, were put ashore on Roanoke Island, off what is now 'North Carolina, in 1587 by Governor John White. There they were left to their own de- vices, and it was three years before White returned. It was not his fault, But his ship was needed to fight the Spanish Armada, Indeed, he had• a personal reason for making sure that the settlers came to• no harm, for among them was his married daughter, Eleanor Dare, and she had given birth to a daughter while her father was still on the island. That baby has a particular niche in North' American history. She was the first English child to be born in the New World. Proudly, her parents named her Virginia — a compliment to Elizabeth the Virgin Queen. When Governor White arrived at Roanoke in 1590 the colonists had gone. He knew their inten- tion was to trarisfer to the main- land in due course, so he ,sailed in that direction. But violent storms thwarted him. Blown off his course, White never set Toot on the mainland, And it was not for another twelve years or More that any- body became interested in the Dare party. Then it was too late. Stories were told of white folk who had penetrated farther south, of strangers from the sea who had been massacred by the toma- hawks of savage Indians. But that was all. Later — much later — further queer tales emerged, In 1669 a German explorer claimed to have Seen a tribe of bearded Indians in North Carolina, and nearly a hundred and twenty years after that it was said that a large number of Indians bore the same names as those of the long-lost colonists, and that their native language was interspersed with Elizabethan words. No real con- tact with these people was ever made. And so the matter rested un- til Hammond's alleged discovery in 1037. That certainly set the ball roll ing. He took the stone to Emery College, Georgia, where it was examined by Professor Haywood Pearce, an expert in such Mat- ters. The professor Was deeply intetested. He thought the stone May have marked the grave of Ananias, and Virginia Dare — Ananias being Virginia's baby brothel. Pearce decided 'to in- eestigate fierther believing that if one 'Stone existed there might be other's, He offeted 'e reward to any- body'discovering similar stones. rdr seine eighteeie ihg haPPened. Then things began to move. A man nate ed Eberhart produced another stone which seemed to prove the truth of Pearce's theory. This record- ed the names of seventeen peo- ple in the Dare party who had been killed by Indians. It also bore a date — 1589 — two years earlier than the one given on the first stone. Exciting enough, but it was only the beginning. Within a matter of days Eberhart brought three more stones. They were all dated 1591, and their inscriptions referred to the same colonists. But there was a snag. Eberhart said that he had found all 'four stones three hundred miles from where Hammond. asserted he had made the original discovery. Professor Pearce was sus- picious. Yet all the stones were inscribed 'in Elizabethan English, and what would Eberhart, an uneducated man, know about that? He couldn't have faked them. Later, Eberhart brought along forty-two-similar stones, making forty-six in all,. From the inscrip- tions on these it was possible to piece together at least part of the story of what' happened to those ' lost colonists. It was all very exciting — especially as many more stones kept turning up. There seemed to be a •glut of such relics. Professor Pearce decided to call in the historians and the archaeologists. In 1940 a number of these examined the stones. They believed them to be genu- ine — but wouldn't commit themselveg without 'further stu- dy and more detailed examina- tion. Then Boyden Sparkes, a news- paperman, arrived on the scene. He was sceptical about matters which lacked cast-iron proof and carried out a few investigations on his own. Sparkes made several signifi- cant discoveries. He found that the men who found the stones were all friends, and that their Characters were not exactly un- tarnished. One, in fact, was in jail. True, this didn't disprove nos prove anything, but to Sparkes' alert mind it was sus- picious. His doubts increased when he tracked down an old fellow of ninety who had lived all his days 'in the district where the stones were supposed to have been found, "Never saw any- thing like 'cm," asserted the nonagenarian stoutly, "They just wasn't there!" To cap it all Sparkes also found 'that Eberhart made a liv- ing by trading in Indian relics. To Sparkes, the evidence was now conchAive. The so-called Dare • Stones were a gigantic hoax. Further investigation confirm- his opinion. Those stones had been inscribed in the English used by the Elizabethans. But there were certain anomalies, They were in Roman script and although this had been intro- duced by then it was used only by scholars. Another points spelling, as we know il, was teak/town in those cliys.. People wrote a word as they pleased. Yet in the inscriptions there was no variation lb the spelling of the same words. Even more damning, spine of the words inscribed were dot even in existence when the stones were alleged to have been carved. "Yes," Sparkes thought, "the Dare Stones are undoubtedly a hoax, and an ex- ceptionally clever one," This is now generally accept- ed, but who carved there? Al- though he slipped up in one or two respects he must have been a highly educated Mari, Which dismisses Hammond. Tie was certainly ho outstanding schol- ar with a working knowledge of Elizabethan English. Eber- hart and the others were barely literate. Obviously somebody in the background, a "master fermtilated the plan and ar- ranged all the details. But with what object?' This' another Mystery. Professor Pearce paid for the stones, but the price would barely have tetrinetisated for the tteuble 'involved. Pot out of this welter of in.
