DIOGENES! BLOW OUT THE OL' LANTERN; TAXI DRIVER RETURNS $50,000 IN GEMS Miss Ruth Thomas. "Leave it to the Irish," says Miss Ruth Thomas, "they make five policemen and better taxi drivers." Miss Thomas spoke right "out in meetin'" after Bernard Reilly had returned to her $60,000 in jewels which she had left in his taxi. Honesty may be its own reward but Reilly is $500 wealthier just the same—and in crisp new bills too. This—strange as it may seem—happened in New York.

President Johnson's remarks ment the passing of Fohl—rought a demand from Lee Fohl or an explanation. The umpires, who are in the best position for observing any doctoring of the ball or freak actions of the sphere as a result of such treatment, say they have seen no evidence of doctoring. They say he has enough stuff without mutilating the pill in any way to fool the batters. Meanwhile, Danforth would like to have his name cleared. Verily, a pretty mess. As to the claims made against Danforth, one is that he has developed callouses on two of his pitching fingers to such a degree that the callouses enable him to get a wierd twist on the ball. What if those callouses were developed by the manner in which he hurts the ball? Anything illegal in that? Nothing in the rules. When Dave Danforth, St. Louis hurler, was returned to the minor last season because it was alleged, he was doctorin', the ball, the move caused some comment but that was all. The other day the reason given for the firing of Lee Fohl as the Browns' manager was based on his attitude on the alleged doctoring of the ball by Dava.
