■^F OW that a new baseball season
’ is blooming again, there are
possibly a number of clients who
would like to be carried from the
present into the closing days of
September. The main purpose of
this quick voyage will be to see the
standings of the clubs on closing
day—not opening day.
Here is your correspondent’s
surge into the future, as the future
looks:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
No. 1—New York Yankees, by a
much closer margin.
No. 2—Boston Red Sox, with a fight-
ing chance.
No. 3—Cleveland Indians,
Feller.
No. 4—Detroit Tigers, the power-
house tribe.
No. 5—Chicago White Sox, may fin-
ish fourth.
No. 6—Washington Senators, slight-
ly improved.
No. 7—Philadelphia Athletics, still
on green side.
No. 8—St. Louis Browns, in the old
______ homestead.___________
NATIONAL LEAGUE
No. 1—St. Louis Cardinals, by an
eyelash.
No. 2—Cincinnati Reds, just about
as good.
No. 3—Brooklyn Dodgers, improved
over last year.
No. 4—Chicago Cubs, due for better
luck.
No. 5—Pittsburgh Pirates, may fin-
ish higher.
No. 6—New York Giants, hardly
ready for long route.
No. 7—Boston Bees, not enough
punch.
No. 8—Philadelphia
day’s best bet.
How It Figures
The Yankees have been good
enough to win going away, by kill-
ing margins year after year, and if
they are slipping so are the Rockies.
They have the pitching and the
punch, are a great defensive team,
have all needed replacements, have
youth and experience.
The Red Sox will be stouter chal-
lengers. Give them Dickey and
you’d see more
trouble. But who is
going to give them
Dickey?
Cleveland should
finish third with
Bob Feller facing
probably his great-
est year.
Sheer power
should carry De-
troit into fourth
place. It will be a
rough outfit for any
set of pitchers to
Quite a bit here will depend
on Gehringer’s condition, one of the
great ball players of all time.
Jimmy Dykes may swing his
White Sox into the first division, but
it will take a gallant thrust to ac-
complish this.
Mr. Mack's Athletics are still an
uncertain quantity. He has some
good young talent, but it still needs
more seasoning. His team may
move up a notch, but I can’t see
them much higher than the seventh
notch.
The Browns will be a better ball
club. But they still have a long way
to go.
The Older League
Conditions in the National are
much looser, much more tangled
and uncertain than they are in the
American.
The Cardinals and Reds are close
to a tossup. Bill McKechnie needs
much more help for his two star
pitchers than he got last year. Der-
ringer and Walters are two of the
best in baseball, but Thompson,
Whitey Moore and Vander Meer,
plus some rookie, must come to
their iid.
The Cardinals, a young team last
year, came from 14 games back
after a slow start to make a pen-
nant bid in late September. You
must admit they have been none too
hot this spring. But a big league
race is something different.
If they all pile in and give the
best they have, the net result should
be enough to win. They have p
strong combination of youth and ex-
perience in their pitching staff—and
they have Mize and Medwick.
—I can’t figure any other pennant
possibilities from the other six
clubs. Brooklyn, Chicago and Pitts-
burgh should be well bunched.
There is little ta choose here.
Frisch will make the Pirates dan-
gerous. I still like the rating I sug-
gested above.
I can’t figure the Giant infield get-
ting any^oo far. Nor the Giant oub
field. The Giants may get away
nicely. They are quite apt to de
so. But I don’t believe they can
hold any hot pace after June or
July. There are too many weak
spots on Terry’s club—too many
fading veterans.
Anything can happen in this
league for the first few week*.
After that I expect to see the Reda
and Cardinals gradually pull away
—not too far, but far enough to carry
one of these teams into another
World Series.

Senator Lodge
Hi
were earlier. When the war first
broke out, London expected a mass
air attack, by thousands of Ger-
man planes, every hour.
FAR FROM BEING NEUTRAL
Then the British and French were
in a rush to get all the planes they j
could. As time dragged on, so much
so that some experts began to speak '
WASHINGTON —That recent vote
of the senate naval affairs com- ,
xnittee on the amendment of Sen.
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
setts is the clearest demonstration
possible of the difficulty any mem-
ber of congress has in maintaining
a “neutral” attitude—even in act,
much less in thought.
Lodge’s amendment would have
required that all the aircraft appro-
priation for the navy
for the next fiscal
, year, $12,000,000, be
I spent within tha4. fis-
cal year. The com-
* mittee voted it down
10 to 7. 4
Now the object of
this amendment of I
course was to pre-
vent the navy—and I
I in spirit it was |
I aimed at the army
also—from stepping j
aside, so to speak, i
in favor of prompt deliveries of ;
planes to Britain and France. It is
another twist on the argument about
letting the allies have the latest
models of planes.
The whole administration has
been moving rapidly in the direc-
tion of giving the allies priority, and
for several reasons. First and fore- I
most has been that the allies—cer- I
tainly up to the Nazi invasion of
Denmark and Norway—had not ;
been in such a buying panic as they '
of the “phony war,” the allied buy-
ing missions became a little more
choosey. They would make con-
tracts only for the best.
Reason No. 2 of course is that the
administration—and this goes for
the army and navy—is far from >
being neutral. It wants to help '
Britain and France against Ger- .
many.
When it comes down to cases, the
10 senators who voted .against the
Lodge amendment voted to favor the
allies. The seven senators who
voted for it voted to hamstring the
allies. That is a blunt way of put-
ting it, and does not concern their
motives at all. For instance? a
senator voting for the Lodge arhend-
ment could justify his position by
insisting that the national defense of
the United States is vital.
ALL LOVELY IN G. O. P.
So far there has been no bitter-
ness in the Republican contest for '
the presidential nomination. In
sharp contrast with the Democrats,
where under the sweetness and light
of the public statements there is |
gall and wormwood, the G. O. P.
battles have not engendered any
hates.
i Up to now there is nothing to com-
pare with the bitterness that the fol-
lowers of John Nance Garner, Paul J
V. McNutt and James A. Farley feel '
about the White House denial of I.
their chance to make a showing. I
The point is that in all three of these
camps there is utter certainty that
President Roosevelt will not run for
a third term. If he does run, in spite
of their convictions, their bitterness
will, to a large degree, fade. Not
that they will like it, but they will not
feel that they have been cheated.
But what they believe now is that
the President has no thought of
running, and is using his own
strength with the rank and file of
Democratic voters, and with the big
city Democratic machines—such as
the Kelly-Nash organization in Chi- i
cago and Tammany in New York— '
to hamstring Garner, Farley and
McNutt. »
If their beliefs turn out to be cor-
rect—if the President chooses not to
run, and throws his mantle on Cor-
dell Hull, for instance—or the man
he really wants if he does not want
it himself, Robert H. Jackson—then
the Gamer, McNutt and Farley fol-
lowings will believe they have suf-
fered from the rawest gyp game in
the history of presidential nomina-
tions.
DEWEY’S CHANCES
No one will ever know, for in-
stance, just what Garner would
have done if the whole strength of
the administration had not been
thrown against him.
But while there has been no real
bitterness, yet, on the Republican
side, a pretty good foundation is
being laid for it. A great many
astute politico1 observers believe
that Thomas E. Dewey hasn't a
Chinaman’s chance for the Republi-
can nomination, despite his record
of winning primaries and his
strength as shown by various polls.

Corrigan Horse Racing
Horse racing is being streamlined
the Corrigan way at Calistoga, Calif.
Under the new system, the horses
are trotted out on the track, where
each owner is obliged to give up his
mount and ride some one , else’s
horse. When the race gets under
way, it is a case of every rider
trying to come in first, thus en-
hancing his own horse's chance of
being last, for the last three horses
win.

George about it. But nothing came
even of that. So, Frank, if you
want me you can have me.”
And of course Frank took Grace
in his arms, beyond r
pleased to find her in this humble
frame of mind.
A few days later came a letter,
signed by Mr. W. M. George.
"I didn't see any chance of giving
you a job,” said Mr. George, "but
since reading your letter and con-
sidering your plans for an office-
cleaning agency I think perhaps we
could come to some agreement. I
see you have brains and courage.
I’m interested in your plan and
would be willing to back such a ven-
ture and finance it. We could make
it a sort of side issue. Meantime
you could be of real use to me here
in this office, and I guess I could
mention a salary that would appeal
to you.”
Grace.read the letter at first with j
eagerness. This Mr. George, she i
had found out, was a thoroughly re-
liable business man of high stand-
ing. And he had appreciated her
qualifications—he really felt that he
could make use of her. Grace's
rosiest ambitions were beginning to
come true. And yet? >
Grace reread the letter and put
it in her desk. She would answer
it later in the day. Meantime she

it didn’t seem so very good after
