....... MAHONEY 1 ----SPORTLIGHT Diamond Greats Waiting In Wings By GRANTLAND RICE HE COMPLAINT has come in I Cobb, Staler, Hornsby, Jackson, La- i jute, Delehanty, etc. The last two from old-timers, who knew their I .400 hitters I recall were Bill Terry stars, that certain players must i soon be taken into the Big Hall, or and Ted Williams. We haven&apos;t had be left out for good. There are many names on the list that Bob Quinn has ready for consider- ation. Many of these will never get in as they lived and played too long ago to be recalled by most of today's vot- ers. But certainly in this list such Grantland Rice names as AI Harry Simmons and Chief Qharles AIbert Bender shouldn't be overlooked. A1 Simmons' lifetime big-league average was around .334, among the highest in the game. This was over a long period of time. Simmons has known years at .392, .390 and .384, up in Ty Cobb's figures. AI Simmons was the greatest out- fielder Connie Mack ever had on his nine pennant-winning teams• He was a great ballplayer, with a clean personal record. In the ease of Bender. the Chip- pewa Chief, he was one of the great pitchers of the game. Many years ago, before Lef ty Grove came along, Connie Mack told me that he would rather have Bender pitch a mil- lion-dollar game than any pitch- er he had ever had on his team. The Chief was a great omPetl- for. I knew him as far back as 1905, 'the year he shut out the GlaBts in a world series game. Simmons and Bender certainly belong. So does Bill Dickey, one of the game's greatest catchers, coupled with Mickey Cochrane at the fop, Among those stilt playing who will have to be taken in later are Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial and Ted Williams. There may be others, but these three are certain to get strong support• And what about Hank Greenberg? Or Dizzy Dean? However, Bob Qulnn, now master of the Hall, is worried over many others he belie,es should be con- sidered before time runs out. There is a definite movement under way to place the name of the late Dr Iiyland of St. Louis on the honorable mention list. Dr. Hyland gave a big part of a fine career to ball- players and he is sure to get stout backing in this line. A Tough Query "Why is it," a fan asks, "that we had bet;er hitting with the old and deader ball than we have with the lively or rabbit bali? Check back on this. You'll find that before the livelier ball came in, the game had a long list of .400 hitters. I mean a .400 hitter or even a .390 hitter . years." The answer to this is fairly simple. When Babe Ruth began to pour his home runs over the outlying fences and walls, prac- tically every young hitter shifted his grip to the end of the bat and took a full ut. Cobb and most of the other .400 hitters had controlled swings. Cobbs' hands were well apart. He was able to keep his bat on the ball. Ruth struck out oftener than any other noted hitter, "The Dbe has changed the ame," Cobb said years ago. "Base- all now is a game of power, more than skill. There was no use swing- ing full against the ball we had• But at least you could place your hits," More than a few observers used to y that Babe could have passed .400 by shortening his swing, bring- ing it under better control. But this is something you can't prove. A home run was the only dish Babe cared for. Except on rare occasions he took his full cut. The same is true of Ted Williams, who by hit- tint to all fields might reach the .400 mark again. A Heavy Jolt This recent New York basketball scandal hit all college sports a hard- er jolt than anyone seems to know. It is generally understood, wheth- er rigbtly or wrongly, that the New York explosion was only a small part of what was happening over the map, I bare also heard more than a few also wonder if the same thing wasn't happening or could happen in college football. It could easily, if not closely watched. Football's $300.000 and $400,000 gates for single games is far be- yond what the earlier educators looked for. WbeB numberless I o o t b a I l players help to run a season's cost up to $250,000,-you get part cf the answer. There are more than a few people today who in. sist that i a college plays to 60,€00, 0,00 and 95,0C0 fans per game, the football player ehould get his share. Don't think that many a football player is thinking differently. He's human, too. Basketball would be much better off if all games were played in col- lege surroundings. This is no fault of Madison Square Garden officials It is the price the game pays for being too highly spotlighted WITH CELLULOSE TAPE CURTAINS TO  ,.

A.--No the OPS has leaped to your rescue; it has put a ceiling on used flivvers! Q.--Okay, but can I slaughter a flivver without a permit, and what part can I eat? A,--A special slaughter license is mandatory. The fenders are very nice, if you use lots of catsup. Q.Would you mind running over this OPS used-car thing again? A.No. Mike DiSalle has put price ceilings ou all second- hand autos. Q,--Dees this apply only to the proprietors of used-car lots and auto agencies? A.--Not at all.

He can't do any better if he wishes to dispose of his old car private- ly instead of taking whatever the dealer wants to give him on a trade-in. The ceiling price must be the price set by the dealers in their rate book. Q.Isn't it a well-known fact that these rates set a price on an old car in order to allow leeway for the dealer to get a better break? A.---Certainly, and why not?
