Robinson Speaks Right On _ •.... 0440411101s everywhere Were interested to leant .that Jackie Robinson, 11r.st Negro ever to Into. a I31g 14cagnet .had been elected to PaSehatrs flail et The ,following article in 'NCW.81.V.frA was iii print before the announcement,. an d is re- Printed here because it SNOWS Jackie at his outspoken best, # Jack Roosevelt Robinson, ball- player turned businessman, knows only one way of playing life's game: Right or wrong,. say what you think, "I'm positive won't be accepted into the Rail of Fame this year," he said in his New York office shortly ac- f ore the vote Was announced this week, "Maybe eanne day, but regardless of what ray achievements w e r e, many wri- ters are going to disregard this because of Jackie Robinson, Negro outspoken." Though many writers dis- agree d, assuring him that he would be chosen, Robinson, major-league 'baseball's first Ne- gro, was stubbornly pesairmettee "The Hall of tame is tremen- dously important to me," he said, "but if it meant I had to. give up anything I did or attic, the Hall of Ferns would letvi to go its own way, I did \valet 1 thought was right and, to me, right is more imperfent than any honor." Living up to this principle was a struggle for Robinson, nets 42,. heavy-set and gray-haired. From the moment in 1945 when Dodger president Brunch .R.eeey singled him out as the ideal athlete for an idealistic experi- ment, Robineen was more than just another ballplayer, He was a symbol. During his one minor- league • season in Montreal arid. his first two seasons in Brook- lyn, Robinson, normally exp.,o- sive in temperament, had to ac- cept shouts of "black bastard" an d "Uncle. Tom" without an- swering back. In Philadelphia, the Phillies carried black cats onto the field; in St. Louis, the • Cardinals threatened to strike; and in several cities, pleyers de- liberately tried to spike him. "You Can never forget things like that," he said. "The scars are deep.. But one d ay (team- mate) Eddie Stanky spoke out far me. That was the beginning. Mr, Rickey said this was when. he knew we had it beat." With Robinson generating rare excitement and leadership, the Dodgers wen six pennants in his ten seasons. He was a consistent hitter (.311 lifetime average) and a. sure infielder, but he was, above all, baseball's meat ,daring base-runner. "If I couldn't run the bases, nobody would remem- ber Jackie Robinson," said -Ro- binson, who stole 197 bases, "A guy who doesn't have quick re- flexes isn't going to steal home, You can't outrun a baseball I knew when I had a pitcher Up- set and I kept rattling him even more," More than any other ballplay- er of the late '40's and early '50's, he had the ability to create drama. In the final game of the 1951 season, with the Dodgers needing a victory to tie for the pennant, Robinson saved the game (with a diving catch) and won it in the fourteenth (with a home run,) Five years later, handicapped by a bad iteee and too much weight, things were harder. "When I tried to run to second base and it telt like running up a hill, I knew I had had it," be said, Robinson. left baseball for business.

Tee thick pall termed each road crossing into a potential death trap, and by the weekend the toll of dead in traffic accidents stood at 28. Of those, eleven farm laborers died as their farm bus collided 'with a freight train at the fog- hound grade crossing of a coun- try road and the Southern Pacific railroad tracks near rural Men- dota, And elsewhere on the roads of the valley, the fog epawned ghostly mayhem, A massive chain-reaction acci- dent involving 40 autos and ten trucks (and, luckily, only six slight injuries) was the most spectacular of innumberable sim- ilar accidents which plagued Route 99, the fast, multi-laned freeway which runs the length of the valley. This incredible bash- up was set off when a fog-dazed motorist became confused as, a car ahead turned into a side road. The motorist swerved into the opposite lanes, highway patrol- men reported, and cars and trucks began smashing together. A plethora of lesser misadven- tures was recorded in the fog- bound valley. Sent to meet his father at a house 300 yards away, 0-year-old Roland Soares of Mod- esto, not noticing that he passed his father en route, became lost, wandered fourteen hours before being located 4 miles from home. Industries reported thousands absent from jobs or late in arriv- ing at work. Many, presumably, took the advice of the highway patrol to stay off the highways. Store sales dropped sharply as shoppers ventured out only for necessities. Housewives teethed to keep the porch lights burning as many an auto-borne commuter tooled past his domicile acciden- tally in the murky gloom. The why of all the fog remain- ed as simple as it was incurable. Weathermen said that a nearly stationary high-pressure area es- tablished itself over the valley. Each day at dawn the stagnant cool air under it combined with the moisture rising from the sur- face of the rich black flatlands.

"If I had listened to Bill Mc- Kechnie, people could have look- ed at may record in years to come and seen that I had hit three home runs and a single in my final game." Bill, here to be honored for managing pennant winners in three different cities (the only one ever to do so), recalls the statement. But, as it happened, the Babe went out and played again — one more game before he finally retired — and he went 0-for-4, striking out three times. Happily, Mrs. Ruth, and mil- lions more, have fonder memor- ies. And one of the first things she wanted to do upon her re- turn to Boston was to take a stroll down Boylston Street, leisurely, perhaps to recall a few, Silent Bowiing By A Champion We don't know whether there is a great moral lesson in the news item about Merge Merrick of Columbus, Ohio, the new queen of women's bowling, bat it is interesting to note that she does very, very little talking on the lanes in major tournaments. "10 011owing the qualifying rounds in the world tournament last month, I determined I wouldn't` talk except to say 'hello' and `goodby' while bowl- ing," the explained. Friendly bowling — as dis- tinguished from championship bowling — something else again, and Miss Merrick admits° that failure to talk under such circumstances "might be taken as downright unfriendimess," We believe the lady has a point — a good bowler must concentrate, and a lot of useless chatter interferes With concetie tration, We hope it is 1101 too ungallant to suggest that lest talking and more concentration well could be applied to things ether than bowling — driving a car, for example. — The Plain Dealer (Cleveland), HO 1.4 Con I? 1.3s, ItoliertsLee (4. tiow Cali I prepare'lily thread for easier and more effi- t lent gulitingl A. linhaerse at entire 4001 et your thread into hot paraffin; and let remain about five Min.,. utes.

Being an Ohioan, I might be tempted to stretch territorial jurisprudence a mite and 'say I remember it well, except for the fact that I was barely six months old at the time. However, for any young base- ball writer, it's just as much fun and an honest privilege to sit in with veteran scribes and base- ball notables, as were gathering for the 23rd annual mid-winter dinner of the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Two of the head table guests first to arrive were Mrs. Babe Ruth and Bill 1VIcKechnie, who was managing this colossus of all home run hitters when the Babe closed out his celebrated career. For Mrs. Ruth, here to present an award to Roger Maris, this was her first visit to the Hub in over 26 years. And she, like her husband, who had a farm in nearby Sudbury, Mass., had come to know Boston "as a sec- ond home." "The Babe was never a city man," Mrs. Ruth divulged at a Wednesday press conference. "That's why he never spent much time in New York City itself, when he was playing for the Yankees, We would always leave for Florida two months before spring training started. And, oh!" she enthused, "how he loved the road trips. We always travelled together." Naturally, the questions soon got around to home runs and the record of 61 which Maris pro- duced in 162 games this past sea- son, writes Bob Gates in the Christian Science Monitor. "No," she replied directly, "I didn't want to see Babe's rec- ord taken. It seemed to belong to him. And many people, my- self included, still feel that -it hasn't been broken, that Roger has just set another mark for others to shoot for, Who knows," she laughed, "maybe in a year or two we'll be playing 170-game seasons, or perhaps only 145." The "we" in the above quote is no mistake. This petite one-time Ziegfeld beauty is still an avid baseball fan, heavily partial to the Yankees, but armed with a pretty good idea of who'hit what and for whom. "How many would Babe hit if he were around today? Well ..." she thought, "that would be pret- ty hard to say. But I know he'd really have a ball. He'd still swing that heavy bat, too, lie wanted wood in his hands, not. those toothpicks (shin .handled bats) they're using to- day." Mrs. Ruth recalled, giro, that , the Babe. was often morespleased With hia early pitching feats than his home run records. "He was especially proud of having Mace struck out Ty Cobb, SaM Crawford; and Bab Veach on 10 pitches with the bases loaded. And he gained six 1.0 vic- tories while pitching against Wal- ter joheson," she added, beam- ing, "Perhaps his greatest disap- pointment," said Mrs, Ruth of the man Who stroked an al-hating 114 home runs, "was not being Able to manage in the major leagues,. That's something he wanted to do very much, "The Ilabe,e she said.

TWEDDLE MERCHANDISING CO. FERGUS 11, ONTARIO HELP WANTED FEMALE ice Fishermen And Ther Antics Ice fishing has charm of a sort, but some of its elements are tedious, tiresome and pro- ductive of boredom as well as very few fish, This winter a stu- dent of hurean cddit'es ham been observing Maryland ice fisher- men at play and has concluded that the fishermen are more interesting than the fishing. For example: Reuben Levin of Coatesville, Pa., was fishing with a sawed-off billiard cue. Just the right size and backbone for jigging a lure up and down, Donald Dinges of Pascoag, RI., was keeping nine holes from freezing over by squeezing drops of antifreeze into them from a syringe. Five or six drops in each hole every half hour did the job. Alan Soule of Lancaster, Pa., had fitted out a bicycle wheel as a reel. With tire removed and. mounted on a sled, the wheel permitted him to reel in his line four times faster. Joel Turner of Philadelphia had added cardboard sails to the r lines of his tie-ups. The sails let the wind do the jigging while Turner kept his hands in his pockets. Several fishermen were equip- ped with metal discs, These were bottoms cut out of metal waste- paper baskets. At the end of a day's fishing they fitted the bas- ket bottoms into the holes. Re- turning next day, they built fires on them and the holes were re- opened without chopping. And there was one fellow who was soaking his lines in his whisky flask, Kept them pliable in cold weather, the fellow peinted out, a warm, friendly glow suffusing his features, — From SPORTS ILLUSTRATED.
