Standing at Tadoussac is this stockaded log but, a repi:ca of one in which French Traders
passed the Winter of 1599.
1; t uc w;'ho has for many years
held—anti :pilled—the firm opinion
that has2ball gives the customers
less rail action for their money
than any other game, tournament
chess possibly excepted, we were
recently both surprised and heart-
ened to notice that one diamond
magnate not only holds similar
views, but is prepared to do some-
thing ,tout it.
* „
Hank Greenberg was a smart ball
player—mart enough to quit the
game More the game quit him:
although. of course,- the fact that
he married a girl worth several
millions alight have made such :t
decision somewhat easier for him
than it is for the average profession-
al athlete. For one of the saddest
things in ,port is to see a former
star trying to hang on long after
everything else but the urge has
departed. As Lorelei Lee's maid
said, in GENTLEMEN LIEN PREFER
BLONDES, "The time to leave
them is when you're still looking
good."
* * *
Allyn ay. the aforesaid Mr. Green-
Lerg is now general manager of the
Cleveland Indians—a club that per-
forms in a ball pasture which takes
a heap of filling, especially when
the team isn't going so good, and
more l:,artirularly in times like
these rlietl the sports dollar is get-
ting a bit more choosey about what
it gets spent on. At all events,
Greenberg has purchased a jeep for
his relief pitchers, to save them—
and the fans—that long, funereal
trek from the.hull-pen to the pitch-
er's mound,
k * *
Now. at first sight this alight ap-
pear to be nothing more than a
piece of smart showmanship—like
telling the strip -teaser to go into
her routine when your theatre
catches fire—and designed to take
the Cleveland clients' minds off the
fact that the Indians were winning
just about as many games as they
lost, and getting nowhere fast. But
Greenberg seems to be really sin-
cere in his desire to speed up a
sport which gives every evidence of
becoming slower and slower to
watch.
* e *
In the interests of science, we re-
cently did a lot of tedious research
—a whole three minutes of it—
checking up on the elapsed tinges of
eight major baseball games contest-
ed on a certain afternoon and eve-
ning. Those eight averaged pretty
close to two and ate -half hours
apiece -2.25 to be exact—which is
a lengthy stretch of time for any
but the most ardent bugs to hold
still, looking at a couple of teams
trying to get through 3;; or 9 in-
nings of run -of -the -nine ball.
* * e
In addition to his jeep innovation,
Hank Greenberg is also suggesting
that pitchers should await their
turn at bat in the "on deck" circle
like other players, instead of sitting
in the dugout 'til the last possible
second; also that umpires should be
instructed to make the players
hustle when changing sides be-
tween innings. All of which would
indicate that Hank, for one, really
realizes what a menace to the cash
Customer these marathon contests
are becoming.
* * *
Just who or what is responsible
for the slowing-up—well, your
guess is probably as good as ours,
or even better. There are some
who blame the lively ball, on the
grounds that it gives the batter too
big an edge over the pitcher. But
Uncle Ed Barrow, whose views on
baseball we respect more titan
those of any other man, reminds us
Dramatic Gesture—,A wife's "long shot" and the generosity of
a Hollywood star combined to give actor Tom Colborn of Lon -
ion his big chance for a break. Actress Jeanette McDonald is
seen taking down her own caricature from the wall of Holly-
wood's Brown Derby restaurant to make room for Colburn.
Mrs. Colburn wrote Bob Cobb, Derby owner, asking hint to
post hes- husband's picture in hopes some producer might see
it and bring the actor to Hollywood. After several Hollywood
personalities had turne(l. down Cobb's request to give up their
spot tm the wall, Miss McDonald consented graciously, and
even volunteered to appear in person to make the switch.
in his highly readable reminiscences
now running in Colliers that the
souped -up horsehide was introduced
by the short-lived and long -defunct
Federal League.
* 5 A
And you don't need to go back
nearly that far to recall when they
hustled through games in 90 min-
uses or so, and one could enjoy a
,Saturday afternoon double-header
- of two nine -inning games and still
get out in plenty of time to do a
little tonsil -cooling before the oases
shut down for the Sabbath week-
end at 6 p,in.
5 * *
There are others who put the
Elaine on the sports writers who
tern out books an baseball at the
rate of—judging from publishers'
lists—something Iike one a minute.
These authors have written so much
-about "inside baseball and the
like, that the managers are so busy
with their Master -minding they en-
tirely lose sight of those folks in
the stands and bleachers whose cash
contributions mauve their large sal-
aries, and larger reputations, pos-
sible. What is laughingly known as
• a duel of wits between a couple of
bench managers may make very in-
teresting reading. But looking at a
Parade of 10 pitchers in one 'game
—as happened in a game reported
in today's paper—can be, as the
Englishman put it, nothing but a
beastly bore.
As for our own personal opinion
--well, we would just paraphrase
the old saying, "All of the world's
troubles began when they first
taught woolen to read," by sub-
stituting "ball players" for "wom-
en," Not so long ago we sat at a
ball game right next to another
ancient, Two batters in succession
had made hits, and the pitcher could •
be seen glancing, first at the bench
and then toward the bull -pen, plain-
ly expecting—and wanting—relief.

So, for the time being anyway,
we'll lot it go at that—with a deep
bow in the direction of Hank
Greenberg who is at least trying
to step on the gas in an age when
everything else seems to be speed-
ing up with the exception of
"America's National Game."
Soap From The Skies
A Cardiff housewife had a shock
the other day. In one of her top
rooms she found a mysterious quan-
tity of ice. It came from alt "ice
bomb" which had crashed through
the roof.
A quantity of the ice was taken
to the city analyst, wlio examined
it and found that it consisted main-
ly of soapy water. It is saki that
he even identified the brand of
soap!
Further inquiries pointed to the
theory that the "ice bomb" came
from an aircraft—a liner on its way
tram the United States to London.
It is believed that the ice formed
in the waste pipe of the liner's
washbowl while it was flying about
20,000 ft. over the Atlantic.
The aircraft began to descend
in readiness to land as it approach-
ed England, it is reported, and in
the warmer air at lower levels over
South \Vales the ice block in the
waste -pipe started to thaw and the
core of it was the "ice bomb."
WHEN A MOTORIST whose
car had plunged into a swamp near
St. Paul, refused to pay the bill
for having it pulled out, the towing
service promptly returned the auto
to the scene and pushed it back
into the swamp.
WHEN A PASADENA, Calif.,
patrolman flagged down a motorist
who was zigzagging dangerously
across the highway, the driver ex-
plained: "Everything is all right.
Just shaving."
