Hot Shots. Every member of the Grassy By HILL WHITE Associated Press Sports Writer The frantic antics of Brooklyn's daftness boys apparently have vanished from the baseball scene and the Dodgers, darn 'em, have turned respectable.

That seems unfair. Visions of pitchers winding up while men were on base, of three Dodgers all trying to occupy the game base, or of outfielders catching fly balls with their heads used to be an integral part of the game. But the Dodgers are no longer daffy they're downright dangerous. How else would you explain Brooklyn being the only undefeated team in the majors, with six straight victories, climaxed by yesterday's 6-0 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies? Freddie Fitzsimmons' flinging limited the Phils to Beven hits to give the Dodgers, the best early season record in the club's 50-year history. Pressing the Dodgers for top honors in the senior circuit are their hated inter-borough rivals, the Tery Giants, and the rejuvenated Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Dodgers collide with the Giants today. The Giants won their fourth in a row, 5-3 over the hapless Boston Bees yesterday as Pinch Hitter Joe Moore doubled to send in the winning two runs. The Pirates, behind Mace Brown's 10-hit hurling, slaughtered the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-4, thanks to a 400 foot homer by Pinch Hitter Joe Bowman with two on that gave the Bucs the spark that sent them on their winning way. The Cincinnati Reds, defending league champions, were shocked by a 6-2 setback at the hands of the Chicago Cubs, whose Claude Passeau limited them to five hits while Billy Nicholson went on a batting spree, getting a homer, double and single to win the game almost singlehandedly.

The New York Yankees, another inter-borough rival (for fandom's acclaim) of the Dodgers found, themselves unaccus-tomedly in fourth place in the American League standings the of a sound shellacking at the hands of the Boston Red Sox in the first meeting between the American League's two 1939 titans. The Yankees, no better than anyone else when facing inspired pitching, couldn't do a thing to young Emerson Dickman until the ninth inning and by then the Gold Sox had the game sewed up. The final score was as the Bostonians made nieny at the expense of Monte Pearson, Spud Chandler and Lee Grissom, getting 11 safe blows. The Washington Senators hopped on four Phialdelphia pitchers for an 8-6 victory and Thornton Lee of the Chicago White Sox held the Cleveland Indians helpless while his mates drubbed Johnny Allen for an 11-1 victory.

The Greenwood club, now on the road, is rapidly rounding into form, and fans feel that the return of baseball weather, will really open the season's campaign here Tuesday night under the lights. The club this year is the best club which has represented Greenwood in the Cotton States League. It was set and ready to go before the season opened, but a set back in conditioning when bad weather forced the cancellation of most of the exhibition tames. With a few games under their belts the hitteis and pitchers are rounding into form, ami on the-present road trip tho) club is realty pounding the ball. The American Legion post, which saved the.

game for Greenwood this year when all other ef forts to keep the team in the league had failed, named the baseball set up this year. Earle Equen is president of the club, Hush ritz is business manager and a number of Legionnaires ae on the board of directors. A hook up with the Jackson ciub was obtained in order to secure players, and George Bnn-mm, really the greatest baseball fan in Mississippi, was prevailed upon to direct the club this year. Brannon conferred a great favrr on the Greenwood post when ha consented to their proposals, for Brannon is so well liked all over the baseball world that he can gei players no other baseball man can. President Earle Ktpieti expressed hinrsclf as deeply appreciative: it Brannon's efforts in behalf Greenwood, without which the club would have had no chance of being in the running, and has officially dedicated the pennant raising night as "George Brannon Night." "We want all of the fans and the people of Greenwood to show their support of the ball club attending Tuesday night," President E(uen said this morning.

"Brannon is the greatest baseball man in the country. He has ihep appreciation of the Legion for coming our rescue this year. lie promised us a club and he really has it. In thj line up are some of the niot premising players from the minor leagues and who give every promise of being in the big leagues within the next year or so.

"This is a high class club. is our dub, and we urge the far.s to get out Tuesday night and start these boys off with a real Greenwood welcome and 0 It's still a fur piece off, but maybe you're already making plans for next Thanksgiving's football game, and you'll be interested in a bill approved by the House Judiciary committee which would eliminate the mixup which occurred last year over setting a date for Thanksgiving. The Mississippi code sets the last Thursday in November as official Thanksgiving day, but you remember last year President Roosevelt moved the federal Thanksgiving up to the third Thursday and that mixed everything up. Some schools recognized the first, some recognized the second and a few observed both.

The present bill would change the code to provide that the governor will set the day b.y proclamation, following the date set by the president hereafter.

None of 'he "perfect game'-hurlers I've talked to thought they were in great form that particular afternoon.

Good, surely, but not unhittable. Bob Feller rather supported this idea when he commented on his no-hitter against Chicago on opening day. "I couldn't seem to throw curve very well," he explained. "The ball seemed slippery and the wind kept it from doing its stuff. I think I've been a lot faster, too." Skipper Jimmy Dykes of the Whi'e Sox agreed: "I've seen him better." Bob's remarks reminded me of the time when I caught four no-hit game pitchers together Washington Vernon Kennedy, Bill Dietrich and Ted Lyons of the White Sox and Wes Ferrell of the Senators.

(Kennedy is now with the Browns and Ferrell with the Dodgers.) Not Their Best They all agreed that they had had more stuff and pitched better games than on the days when they threw themselves into the Hail of Fame. Kennedy, Dietrich and Ferr-dl thought almost to the end than an early inning scratch hit had i i spoueo uinigs. aj oils Knew wikii. was happening tnougn. "iNervous-ness gets you in the late innings and you begin to give more thought to every pitch.

Your heart jumps into your mouth every time a ball is hit," he said. The last Boston batter against Lyons in that 1926 game bange one far eff first base but Earl Sheeley made a brilliant backhanded catch. "Luck and fine fielding count the most" observed Dietrich. "Batters can hit the ball hard and yet drive it right into a hands." "When I heard the crowd yelling I knew I was near a perfect game," said Kennedy. A running catch by Al Simmons saved Kennedy while Hank Bonura made a couple of nice stops for Dietrich.

Feller Unruffled While these hurlers told me that the late inning Di'essure was almost unbearable, Feller inti Better Games mated it didn't bother him. "Sure I knew I had a no-hitterthat is, if they'd scored a second inning bingle as an error. And I was pretty sure they had. I had to smile when I saw the other fellows hush-hushing each other on the bench for fear they'd rattle me." Like the o'liers, tltough, Feller gave credit to some fancy fielding. Ken Keltner, Joe Mack and Ben Chapman provided it.

The snug fitted jacket is all-over embroidered with gay Alpine flowers. Such a jacket is extremely practical, says the National Cotton Council, for it can do double duty being equally appropriate for sports wear. fllllpllMlll i v.
