I only wish that news transportation was as fast as some of these things which whisk you from here to there over the clouds and sometimes Just under the skies A quick refresher course at home isn't enough Gus Lesnevich knocked out Billy Fox but I don't know why unless it is that Lesnevich is a better fighter than I thought he was I find out that Utah won the Invitation tournament but I'm still trying to find out how the Utes beat Kentucky in the finals Or how Holy Cross beat City College in the NCAA finals. It seems reasonable that I should know something about the Dodgers I don't know much about them even after three weeks of living with them I know that Muggsy Stanky can play second base, that Peewee Reese is a shortstop, to put it mildly, that the ball club should be reasonably strong down the middle Durocher's gang will have pitching, catching and somebody in center field who can outrun those long flies Apart from which deponent knoweth-not Deponent doesn't know whether Pete Reiser will be the Pete Reiser of old, whether Dixie Walker is playing out the string (the end of which he must reach some one of these years) or whether Arky Vaughan can hold up as a third baseman. ROBINSON GOOD The most common question I've been asked is how good is Jackie Robinson There's only one answer to that which is that he is a terrific natural ball player His mistakes at first base are the mistakes of any Individual inexperienced at playing that position before On talent alone, Robinson is good enough and plenty good enough to be with the Dodgers But whether he'll stick is another question I've given up trying to read Branch Rickey's mind. A thing that makes the conductor of this corner love Brooklyn and its baseball fans is that he never has been able to commit an error of fact without some one of the neighbors catching it on the first bounce.

I did a recent piece about Brooklyn's greatest pitching staff on Wilbert Robinson's 1920 pennant-winning club and it drew the following letter from Joseph J. Rossati: "As a good Brooklyn fan and a follower of Dodger doings for more than a quarter of a century, I want to take exception to an item in one of your recent columns. You named Southpaw Larry Cheney on Brooklyn's pennant-winning team of 1920. I don't think he was on this team and if you consult your record books you'll find yourself In error. "That 1920 team brings back pleasant memories to me: Old Stubblebeard Grimes after a heartbreaking hitch on the mound being escorted from the field amid jeers trying to climb into the stands after one particularly objectionable individual who called h.im a quitter; Sherrod Smith, with his quick flip to first base; Ivy Olsen, the smartest "dumb" ball player that ever was wrongly dubbed; Zarh Wheat, shagger of fly balls par excellence and producer of many an extra base hit and Tommy Griffith with his bullet throws from deep right.

As proof, he Panama have been baked hard as concrete and even the young rookies are complaining of the damage they have done to their legs. Walker's underpinning has shown no signs of buckling and ordinarily its the veteran's legs that go first.

who SEMI-FINAL ROI'ND St Terea B' Matthew'a Havana, Cuba, March 31 We were sitting around this morning at. the ballpark, and before I knew it I was beint, interviewed. It was Laraine who said, ''Leo, do baseball fans in other towns get as excited about their ball team as we do in Brooklyn?" I got a kick out of that "we." The lady counts on seeing perhaps 125 of our games this year, and already you can read the score on her face, the moment you come Into the park, she is that happy when we're ahead, glum when we're losing. Everybody who travels with our team is like that, and I will take you into the press box in a few moments to prove it. I answered her question by saying that I knew of no other place on this globe where a community smiled and cried according to the fortunes of its hall team.

She said, "I noticed that when a Pittsburgh or Chicago fan asks you about the Pirates or Cubs, he says, 'How will they, do this hut, a Dodger fan says, 'Are we going to be all right this year, There were several writers in the press box and Laraine said to the dean of them all, Roscoe McGowen: "How do you really feel about the team, Roscoe? Do you root for them to win, or don't you care?" It was a tough spot for the silver-thatched gentleman from the New York Times. We all know that it's as impossible to be completely impartial as it is to capture a pailful of steam. Roscoe said, "It's easier to write about a winner. And if you know all these players on our club as we writers do, and live and eat and travel with them, you like to see them succeed and prosper. That means, you like to see them win.

I want Dodgers to win!" The next question came right at me before I could duck. Another of the writers had done a piece picturing me as more subdued, re.iding thick books, living the life of a monk, lie guessed that I would be the same aggressive character on the field, but that was the question the lady tossed: "Will you be the same when you put on that baseball suit, Mr. Durocher, or have you become calm and subdued?" "All I know," I said, "is that we will tear into whoever happens to be in that other dugout every day at 2 o'clock. There is likely to be more excitement, than there was last year, because we have a better team. I know that.

I do not see how the Cards can be any better, but they are the club that figures to win. I think Eddie Dyer is doing the right thing predicting a pennant. If I had won last September, I'd be predicting another flag. Hut we've got to win it before I'll do that." Paste that in your hat. To win Is the thing.

There may be pretty rhymes to the contrary, hut 10 years from now they won't look back and ask how and why. They will just say; "Who won it in 1017?"

I saw the games at Ebbets Field, watched the progress of the games in Cleveland on the old' Brooklyn Times scoreboard. I remember how Wheat kicked an ordinary double by Tris Speaker into a home run and how Ernie Krueger's terrific belt to deepest left center was gobbled up by the peerless Speaker. I remember Clarence Mitchell lining to Bill Wambsganss for an unassisted triple play and Elmer Smith hitting that grand slam home run for the Indians.

I remember Stan Covaleskie beating Brooklyn three times in that World Series. "But enough of this look up the record books on Larry Cheney, will you?" Well Sir, I have looked up the record books and you're right I kicked one. I wrote that particular piece in Panama, far from the sources of information that usually are at my disposal.
