THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher WILLARD GREGORY City and Sports Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor MYLES BRADLEY Ploture Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Baseball: the big 'dream game' For a good many million sports fans tomorrow is something of a momentous day. Before evening it will be known whether the best ball players the eight National League teams can assemble will be able to reduce that big margin of victories enjoyed by the American League in this so-called "dream game." The game, of course, is the annual All-Star game played between teams selected from the American and National Leagues by baseball fans. The American League began its present 12 to four lead in these games when Babe Ruth hit a two run homer in the first All-Star game 17 years ago to give his outfit a 4 to 2 victory. And, it has been pretty much of an American League show since then. That last can League has won 12 games to four for the Nationals prove that the American League is so overwhelmingly superior to the National League? Well, a better case probably can be advanced from the World Series records. Forty-six World Series have been played, enough for the factors of chance to have been pretty well canceled out. American League champions have won 29 times, National League champions 17 times. Up to and including, 1922 the American League had won 57 World Series games to 54 won by National League clubs, close enough to show that during this period there was not a great deal to choose between the leagues in the matter of aggregate skill. It is since 1922 that the American League really has forged ahead... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago In the case of R. B. Borden vs. W. R. Olden the suit was dismissed at plaintiff's cost without prejudice. We have seen a dispatch from N. H. Mitchell dated San Bernardino, July 14, announcing his marriage.

The cool shady arbor at the back is an agreeable feature. Mr. Block has leased a part of the Carillo property on Los Angeles street and will keep a livery and feed-stable. Theodore Reiser has received a letter from J. M. Gaillard in which he states that he is rapidly growing worse and that there is hardly for the factors of chance to have been pretty well canceled out. American League champions have won 29 times, National League champions 17 times. Up to and including 1922 the American League had won 57 World Series games to 54 won by National League clubs, close enough to show that during this period there was not a great deal to choose between the leagues in the matter of aggregate skill. It is since 1922 that the American League really has forged ahead in championships Its advance coincides with the rise of the new free-hitting style of baseball, which has shifted the preponderant advantage from pitcher to batter and thereby greatly altered the whole strategy of the game. The new style has, of course, influenced all baseball professionals and otherwise, but it seems to have resisted its highest development in the American League. All this brings us back to that "dream game." Could a team composed of pre-Ruth heroes, including say Alexander, Johnson, Bresnahan, Chase, Lajole, Wagner, Jimmy Collins, Speaker, Cobb, and Sisler in their prime beat one that included at their best DiMaggio, Henrich, Teller, Musial, Williams, Dickey, Foxx; and some of our latter day baseball heores? It is an idle speculation, but one which gives cause for argument and top interest in the national game. Anyway, after going this far on speculation and records, we hope the National League wins the game tomorrow. It could be the beginning of a trend to even up those lop-sided records. Another note of warning surface has only been scrawled Less than 15% per cent of coming families even know about. In the three major markets handling citrus this sort of picture: In New York 38% of the markets handled Zen, 77% carried canned strength and 55% carried Of the Chicago stores 46% frozen, 91% canned single starch and 85% carried fresh. Angles 72% of stores had 95% sold canned while 86% fried fresh. In the east the concentrate does not show coverage because of so many eatersens. So the increase first quarter of 1950 average 215% which some think is not that many oranges. Anybody can get scared when somebody tries to scare just sit down and think if they are trying to scare you is not something maybe they scared about—when the deal be entirely good for you or tirely bad for them. Or make ourselves clear? We are trying to say that ever brings the grower more for his fruit is good and who does not is bad—even if it building and a subsidized man. Through the years we have a beautiful set-up here in California. We hate to mention that it is the suspicion of many that our big deal has gone to. They are giving it a little time—or more rope. There will be a day of recoup and we don't want to see any get hurt. We would rather be caused of throwing a few now than be accused of kidding. The fresh fruit philosophy trial. The big boys we have talking about made that decision They still seem to regard thing not shipped east from 'by-products' and 'salyage' most of the growers realize no dogmatic stand can be done. The grower wants his emp to do the things necessary to him a minimum of 50 cents 75 Years Ago In the case of R: B. Borden vs. W. R. Olden the suit was dismissed at plaintiff's cost without prejudice.

Mr. and Mrs. Chester Holcomb drove over Thursday from Long Beach where they are now living and met with a number of old friends. Miss Dorothy Yungbluth leaves today for Catalina, where she will spend a week visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Otto Strodthoff and their two daughters, Misses Bernice and Geraldine, who are spending the summer at Avalon. Otto goes fishing every day and is quite successful, catching a number of fine fish. Colony Quips In suggesting a California Citrus mutual last week this column sort got ahead of itself. We had extended to give a little more dope what is happening in the maris trade with frozen concentrate. That's the stuff Mr. Wilcox of the Exchange has been warning us about. We would be much better to 'pin a rose' on Mr. Wilcox for getting growers 50 cents a pound, net on the tree, for double solids. When he does that we will get out the rose. A note of warning is good any time. Make haste slowly is a good motto—but it does not mean to stop. Florida canners and concentrators are optimistic. They think this year's pack will be all gone by the end of August. It may not work out that way. But the consumers are still buying the stuff at an enormous rate. The survey boys are convinced that the sale of concentrate will continue to go up. But—now don't scared—they do not think there will be a repetition of the enormous sales increase that occurred last year when consumption increased from 100,000 gallons in January to over a million gallons in December. It would not do the power much good for another increase of this magnitude to come long because there simply are that many oranges.

Another note of warning—the surface has only been scratched less than 15% per cent of consumable families even know about it. In the three major markets of the United States the retail food markets handling citrus showed its sort of picture. In New York 77% carried canned single length and 55% carried fresh. In the Chicago stores 46% sold frozen, 91% canned single strength and 85% carried fresh. In Los Angeles 72% of stores had frozen, 76% sold canned, while 88% carried fresh. In the east the frozen percentage does not show good average because of so many deliessens. So the increase the first quarter of 1950 averaged only 15% which some think is minor? Anybody can get scared. But even somebody tries to scare you if sit down and think if what they are trying to scare you about not something maybe they are afraid about—when the deal might entirely good for you and easily bad for them. Or do we take ourselves clear? We are trying to say that whatever brings the grower more dough his fruit is good and whatever does not is bad—even if it is a big deal and a subsidized magazine. Through the years we have had beautiful set-up here in California. We hate to mention this but it's suspicious of many people that our big deal has gone to seed. They are giving it a little more or more rope. There will be a day of reckoning if we don't want to see anyone hurt. We would rather be accused of throwing a few rocks than be accused of keeping all the fresh fruit philosophy is on al. The big boys we have been talking about made that decision. They still seem to regard everything not shipped east fresh as products' and 'salyage' when most of the growers realize that dogmatic stand can be taken. The grower wants his employees do the things necessary to bring in a minimum of 50 cents a day. Hal Boyle (Associated Press Writer) The guy who wears a badge that looks like the other side of a buffalo nickel is going overseas again—ready to fight for America. He's done it before, he's ready now, and he'll do it anytime he's called on. Who is he? He's the guy with the Indianhead patch on his shoulder—the GI Joes who have worn this emblem of the Second Infantry Division proudly and with great combat success in two world wars. It's a famous division. Everyone in the Army knows it—and knows its record. It has been alerted at its Fort Lewis, Wash., base to get ready to go to the Far East. And this news today must send a thrill of warm memory through tens of thousands of Americans of two generations. Some who served with the Second Infantry Division at the Argonne in 1918 had sons who went with it from the hedgerows of Normandy to the river Elbe between 1944 and 1945. But this I know about the Second Infantry Division from a long acquaintance—a year in wartime equals a lifetime of peace, and just a bit more—and that is this: The wearers of the Indianhead patch are an emergency outfit. Like their shoulder-to-shoulder comrades in Europe, the equally famous "Fighting First" Infantry Division, they are an old-line, regular Army outfit. On their performance depends the professional reputation of the professional American Army. They are used to delivering in emergencies. They have a pride of arms, a tradition of performance in battle, a morale in being, that measure our military strength as a nation. It is true that they may be sent to the Pacific area as occupation troops in Japan to replace the 24th Infantry Division units summoned already to Korea. That could be and infantry and even spies wearing our uniforms and riding in captured American Jeeps. You couldn't even tell a buddy from an enemy—for sure. "But we held them. They didn't get through. It went on for 72 straight hours, day and night. The old man—Maj. Gen. Walter M. Robertson, he's retired now—called up the cooks and the truck drivers. Hell, we knocked out German tanks by setting fire to gasoline dropping 'em on them mand headquarters." "But, dammit, we did through. They didn't The main thing no Indianhead Division believe even the U.S. find anything to object battle ability if the force should even decree that side by side. LINEUP: U.S. vs U.S. WASHINGTON (P)—The United States Army is smaller than it was when war came more than eight years ago, but Secretary of Defense Johnson says it is better equipped. On December 7, 1941, the Army had about 1,300,000 men, including what was then the Army Air Force. A draft law had been in operation for more than a year. The Army now has some 596,000 men.

The State Department of Employment said today the migration seasonal workers into the state been heavy. In addition, students on vacation are out looking jobs on the farm. The end of spring harvesting cut a number of farm workers emceed in California to 410,000 July 1. But the department said gradual increase in employment expected in the harvesting of ricots, peaches, pears, apples,encia oranges, melons and other crops.

They are used to delivering in emergencies. They have a pride of arms, a tradition of performance in battle, a morale in being, that measure our military strength as a nation. It is true that they may be sent to the Pacific area as occupation troops in Japan to replace the 24th Infantry Division units summoned already to Korea. That could be temporary or permanent, as the needs of the situation develop. But I am sure that General MacArthur will be less lonely to have them under his command. For the tradition that this unit has is what top commanders like to rely on—when the cards are down, the die is cast. They want to have under them a division that has proved itself before in battle. Wouldn't you, if you were going to boss a big fight? Only 82 of the present 15,000 men in the division marched with it through France and Germany. But they are a hard sold core of trained men to pass on to the youngsters the Second Division's tradition of standing firm in time of trouble. If they do meet the test again, I can imagine a veteran sergeant telling a boy swept by his first fear of death: "You think it's tough now, kid? Just about five years and eight months ago we were parked near the German-Belgian border. We looked out on a snowy December day and damned, if it didn't seem like they were throwing the whole Nazi army against us. "We were on the northern shoulder helping protect Liege, our big supply dump. And if they'd got through us the war would have gone on some longer. They hit us with every damned thing they could think of—tanks and artillery WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States Army is smaller than it was when war came more than eight years ago, but Secretary of Defense Johnson says it is better equipped. On December 7, 1941, the Army had about 1,300,000 men, including what was then the Army Air Force. A draft law had been in operation for more than a year. The Army now has some 596,000 men. (The separate Air Force has 350,000 men.) The Marines have about 74,000 men. Combined with Army troops, this makes a total active land force of 667,000. In manpower this is small compared with Russia's active ground force. Military observers here say that 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 is a conservative estimate of the size of the Soviet army. Russia's tank force is believed to be the world's largest. It includes some of the newest type tanks. Russian artillery demonstrated its excellence in World War II. Secretary of Defense Johnson has been insisting that our Armed Forces, relatively small though they are in number of men, "constitute a formidable force." He and other defense officials usually speak in terms of the Army, Navy and Air Force combined. Johnson says that their strength "lies in the degree of integration between combat forces and strategic plans, the teamwork existing between the three services, and the weapons and equipment available." In his last semi-annual report he said: "New weapons may mean the difference between victory and defeat in war; and we have every reason to believe the United States is retaining its supremacy in that field." The research and development penditure of about $50 million. Defense officials said cent report that "whichever hope the Unit will eventually exercise atomic energy, our Forces are maintaining in scientific improbabilities atomic weapons; new which may surpass in power any arms previously as being developed." However, military men that it would take a long build big powerful armies the reserve strength remains large-scale fighting in Asia. In World War Ground Forces didn't strong until about two years after Pearl Harbor. The present Army constitutes a small force power, so thin. The biggest ground side the United States is 200 men under General Duncan in the Far East. It would take some transport any sizeablements from this country Korea-Japan area.

WASHINGTON—A general who brandishes a swagger stick and talks in a crisp British accent is catching brickbats at the Pentagon for whopping intelligence errors on Korea. He is Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, 58, German-born chief of MacArthur's intelligence who has been with him since Manila days. Willoughby copies his boss in both stance and garb, even to the scarf inside the open-throated shirt. A few weeks before the Korean attack, General Willoughby dismissed Korea as "not important" in talks with visiting firemen from Washington. "You must keep your eye on the reds and know what they will do next," Willoughby pontificated. "You can take it from me, Iran is the place to watch. An attack very soon, old boy." This was essentially the briefing given Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson and Gen. Omar Bradley in Tokyo. In fact, General Bradley, returning to Washington, was most cautious about committing aid to Korea because of Willoughby's advice. Two errors of judgment laid at General Willoughby's door are: 1. The National Security council decision that Korea's threat was to its "internal security." This was made despite a report from General Willoughby's own staff that there were some 70 tanks in North Korea. Tanks are strictly an offensive weapon, and now the key to the communist successes. Yet Willoughby attached no significance to the presence of these tanks. burnt up over a $634.04 bill handed them to pay for a luncheon in honor of Secretary of the Interior Chapman at Perino's swank restaurant in Los Angeles after his Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner speech. In fact, Amerigo Bozzani, treasurer of the Democratic State Central committee, was so burnt up that, for about three months, he refused to pay the bill. No criticism of Secretary Chapman was implied, for Chapman did not know what he was getting into. For, though Chapman is a vigorous foe of California in regard to tidelands oil, he found himself seated with A. T. Jergins of the Jergins Oil company, William Keck of the Superior Oil company, a devout Truman-hater; Fred Bixby, an oil-well owner; and radio executive Lewis Allen Weiss, one of the most rabid Truman-haters on the West Coast. In fact, the luncheon was so heavily larded with oilmen, Republicans, and aviation executives, that Chapman got the impression it was a lobbying setup. Democratic treasurer Bozzani, who got the same impression, figured the GOP oil and aviation moguls could pay for their own luncheon. He saw no reason why it should be charged to the Democrats. So he refused to pay the $634.04. However George Lucky Truman's No. 1 Democrat in California, overruled him. Bozzani finally paid the bill, but marked at the bottom: "Paid by order of George Lucky under protest." Thus, though Secretary Chapman came out to California to raise money for the Democrats at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner, he found himself the unwitting ex- setting fire to gasoline cans and dropping 'em on them from command headquarters. "But, dammit, we didn't let them through. They didn't get by." The main thing now about the Indianhead Division is—I don't believe even the U.S. Marines will find anything to object about its battle ability if the fortunes of war should even decree that they fight, side by side. Two errors of judgment laid at General Willoughby's door are: 1. The National Security council decision that Korea's threat was to its "internal security." This was made despite a report from General Willoughby's own staff that there were some 70 lanks in North Korea. Tanks are strictly an offensive weapon, and now the key to the communist successes. Yet Willoughby attached no significance to the presence of these tanks. 2. Overrating the South Korean army. In his first teletype conversations with the Pentagon after the invasion, General MacArthur confidently expected the southners to take a firm stand. Actually, the southern army fell apart in virtually a complete rout. This has dangerously imperiled United Nations supply lines and ports. Note—To one delegation from Washington, General Willoughby lectured on the importance of prestige in the Orient. "It't the way you live, you know, that counts." he declaimed. Who Pays The Bill? California Democrats are still subject. HIT N' RUN AP Newfeatures 7-10 Defense officials said in a recent report that "while we fervently hope the United Nations will eventually exercise control of atomic energy, our Armed Forces are maintaining their lead in scientific improvement of atomic weapons; new weapons which may surpass in destructive power any arms previously known as being developed." However, military men point out that it would take a long time to build big powerful armies with the reserve strength required for large-scale fighting in Europe or Asia. In World War II U.S. Ground Forces didn't get going strong until about two and a half years after Pearl Harbor. The present Army of 596,000 constitutes a small amount of "ready" land power, spread very thin. The biggest ground force outside the United States is the 123,000 men under General MacArthur in the Far East. It would take some time to transport any sizeable reinforcements from this country to the Korea-Japan area. Owing to the comparatively small number of active reserves in the United States, sudden trouble in Europe would greatly complicate the military problem. The Army has a little more than 100,000 men in Europe. The largest force, some 85,500, is in Germany. About 10,000 troops are in Austria and 5000 at Trieste. Some 8000 army troops were recently reported as stationed in Hawaii and 6500 in Alaska. Army Forces in the Caribbean area—Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal zone—number some 14,000. About 100,000,000 trees can be raised from 2500 pounds of Douglas fir seed under perfect conditions.
