Tom Wallace, national president of the laaae Walton leagae who
poke at the state convention here last week. Is one of those typical
soft-spoken products of old Kentucky. Dapper, polished, the gentle
man from the Blue Graaa country has had a varied and colorful
career behind him. For ZS years he's been connected with laaae
Walton been Interested In conservation of the country natural re
source. Noted editor of the Louisville Times, Wallace first achieved
national recognition in the Battle af Cumberland Falls. Eemenber
Kam Insult, the notorious Investment magnate of
the early 3s? Insnll and Wallace were the prlncf
pay characters In the Cumberland rails fracas.
"Inaull was termed the Great Developer,' laugh
ingly recalls the Kcntucklan. f
Insnll. desiring to expand his vaat holdings,
wanted to destroy Cumberland Falls, a beauteous
feature of the Kentucky countryside. Wallace was
Jwat aa insistent on preserving thla gem af nature.
For a time the fate of Cumberland Falla was In
Jeopardy. But In the end Wallace wen his case,
w hleh had attracted newspaper headlines through
out the nation. As his reward Wallace received a
medal from the American Scenic and Historic
society.

One of the foremost projects of the Isaac Walton, says Wallace.
Is the abatement of notation In I'nited States rivers and streams.
Flh destruction.' be asserts. Is tremendous due to solution, espe
cially In the East.1 The Isaac Walton leader revealed that an anti
pollution bill has already been approved by the Senate Rivers and
Harbors committee. "The one obstacle," he advised, "Is opposition
from states who fear they may lose lucrative industries.
In his Initial trip through the northwest. Wallace aald be thought
the scenery grand but "you haven't the horses we have down in
Kentucky.'
Yankeet Face-Lift
The newspapers are filled with the euery, "Who's going to manage
the Yankees next season Larry McFhall being aa non-committal aa
be is. And the concensus? Well. It see ma to point to a fertytah ap
pearing guy with thinning hair and a heavy lower tin. Yep, yon hit

Why Durocher even makes the umps writhe and turn In bed at night.
Be that aa It may. the Dodger skipper has hia Bums np there knocking
at the pennant door. And so. MrPhall, who has done n faee-llftlng
Job on Yankee Stadium that la Just sumpln. Is evidently going to rip
the threads out of the long-established Yankee managerial policy.
Compare Durocher to Dickey and McCarthy. No an can doubt
the baseball no-how of those two former Bronx pilots but In other
aspects It's like comparing a aephyr and a hurricane. But. ah. the press
that boy Durocher can pull. It fat related that several years past.
In the heyday of the Yankees, the Bombers took a doubleheader la a
rrurlal series before 5.00e to "ice" the flag. Across town In Brooklyn,
the Burnt, settled well down la the standings, were merely playing
out the schedule. However. Loquacious Lea had a beaut of a row
with the amps. That did It. Next day the papers headlined Leu's
beef and dropped the stellar accomplishment! of the Yankees well
down on the page. No wonder McFhall wants the Brooklyn Baritone,
only he'll have to dish out better than ICS.009 a year.

Hoag vs. Paul
Boxing Opener
' Salkeld Sets Main
1 Event for Oct. 9 j
ItH be a retake of the slam
bang battle that stood the armory
on its ear last spring Duane (The
Durable) s Hoag. vs. Jackie Paul
-as the main , event fare . when
Matchmaker .Tex Salkeld and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars pre
sent their pro fistic, revival at tfie
armory Wednesday night, October
9. i Salkeld announced yesterday
he had lined up the two feather
weigh belters. j
Hoag and Paul wafted off one of
the -most bristling brawls seen
here in years' d uring their last
meeting, Hoag winning via knock
out finally but only after being
tattered brutally in the earlier
rounds. The -scrap was loaded
with knockdowns and after-bell
action, and at one time the bit
terness between the gladiators be
came so rugged they continued
flailing away long after Referee
Packy McFarland had called time.
"It's a natural," beamed Sal
keld yesterday, "and anyone who
saw it before will agree. I'll have
the supporting card lined up in a
few days. And please remind all
those fighters around Salem to get
in' touch with me, as I want to
use as much local talent as I can."
