Neither of them felt equal to the task of getting up and following on young Arthur Forbes’ heels. The dining salon was located beneath the forward deck; ‘Mr. Gill’s table was at the extreme end, near that section where the vessel’s bow began to narrow. He had hardly seated himself when he saw that young Arthur Forbes was placed two tables away and slightly behind. There was a plate of food on the table before the youth, but it was untouched. Like one in a trance Mr. Forbes ‘was sitting with eyes widened greatly beyond their normal size, cheeks as pale as death. After a time Mr. Gill saw that the youth at the other table was staring toward a port-hole, and his grin broadened, The port-hole was loecated far forward, and with each dip of the vessel one could see the entire slope of a wave, from trough to crest. Then for a@ space there would be nothing but open sky. It provided a sensation similar te riding on a roller coaster. Mr, Gill knew that as lomg as young Forbes continued to stare through the port-hole his seasickness would steadily grow worse. And he chuckled at the thought. After a while Mr. Gill found it was easier to stare straight ahead than to sit half-turned in his chair in order to watch young Forbes, who, after all, wasn’t the most pleasing sight in the world.

MAX CAREY oF THE PIRATES, ATae —SPORTLIGHT HERE WAS A moment late last March down in St. Petersburg, when Casey Stengel was staring moodily into space. He. had sensed the fact that Joe DiMaggio would be out indefinitely—perhaps for a summer. Lindell and Berra were both limping. Charlie Keller was swinging without his old power. Yankee _— prospects ’ were about as dark as the mouth of a railroad tunnel. “So far as run< ning the team is concerned,”’ Casey said, ‘‘nothing can happen. I can’t be any big bust with my ee coaches—Bill Dickey, Frank Crosetti and Jim Turner. Here are threegreat fellows who know their stuff. T hsow they are all for me. I’ve never seen three men work harder. They are first on the field and they are theNast to leave.” Then Casey smiled. ‘It means @ lot to any manager to have the help of such men,” he said. ‘‘They don’t make mistakes. I might—but they won’t.”’ The fact is that Casey has made fewer mistakes than any manager I know this season. He has had his team hustliug and working overtime. He has picked the right rookies. He has lost the tang his tongue once knew. He has been sympathetic in place of sarcastic. He hasn’t tried to be funny at any man’s expense. He has been @ member of his own squad, not an outsider. ‘ Stengel has done a fine job. And as he says, he has had the services of one of the best coaching staffs baseball has ever known. Bill Dickey would be a helpful, soothing influence on any squad. Bill knows what it’s all about and his advice is a big help. Frank Crosetti is one of the gamest infielders the Yankees ever had. He was always a hustling ball player. He has been a big help. So has Jim Turner, a 20-game winner with the old Boston Braves. Turner has turned in his full share. So Stengel was right in pinning a* wild laurel blossom on each of his aids. It was a nice move by Stengel, a move other managers might not care to make, ' Casey Keeps Faith With His Team By GRANTLAND RICE . Casey has known enough team grief to sink two or three managers. But he has never shown any sign of losing faith in a club that hag been the best in the league so far. * s * Yankees Sans DiMaggio A day or two ago, I ran across a smart minor leaguer from other days. We began talking about the Yankees without DiMaggio. “This reminds me,’’ he said, ‘‘of something that happened when I was playing ball. We had finished the season before in fourth place. But at the start of the next season we lost our only star. He had a broken leg and was out. So all the papers plastered us down in last place. : “So we got together. We talked things over. We finally decided that even though this lost player was good, he wasn’t the entire club. We decided to go out and prove it. We fought and hustled harder than we ever did before. We moved into first place. The papers all said we wouldn’t be there long— ot with our star missing. That made.us hustle all the harder. I can tell you this—if we’d had our star, wouldn’t have finished third. As it was, we won the pennant.”’ The old ballplayer continued to ramble on. ‘‘There’s a good chance the Yankee gotten tired of hearing that DiMaggio was the entire bal club. After all, there were Raschi, Porterfield, Byrno, Reynolds and other s—there were Kryhoski and Phillips at first—there were Coleman, Stirnweiss, Rizutto, Brown and Johnson, “There was and is a_ fellow named Tommy Henrich—close to DiMaggio in everything—there were Lindell, and Berra, Woodling. and Bauer—not even a Cobb or a Ruth could have been the entire bal} club with all these fellows on hand. Most of them are first-class ball players. They must have felt tha inside urge to show they could also play some baseball. ‘‘Here’s another thing. As good as Joe DiMaggio and Tommy Hen‘Fich together are—they were not as important as the pitchers. Connie Mack once told me that the pitchers were 70 per cent'of any ball club. With or without DiMaggio, the Yankees had a fine pitching staff.” { a CTA. SMRIA[M A ACROSS DOWNY 21. Russian ane AGoan 1. Strong, 1.
