Eddie Grant of the Giants also walked in, just like that—and got killed at the Argonne. There's a plaque in his honor on the center field fence at the Polo Grounds. This is beginning to look like a name war, as they might say- on Broadway. Without dispar­ agement to the enlisting celebri­ ties of the theater, sports, and politics, one may note that many of them, innocently, no doubt, march to a fanfare of headlines and outbreaks of chev­ rons in rotogravure pictures. Conspicuous in contrast is Hugh Mulcahy, former Philadelphia pitcher, moving in with no chev­ rons and no bands. Answer I bought a dozen eggs one day Each one contained a chick I went buck to the grocer, and Put up an awful kick: . ; There is not much consiilatlon to be had in connection with the virtual sinking of the S S Normandie—ex­ cept for one thing The French had gone to a lot of expense to build the giant vessel so that she could be converted to an airplane carrier in wartime. To this end. special funnels were arranged on the side of the deck, to give space for runways; especially large eleva­ tors were installed at each end of the ship; and the top deck consisted of the biggest "sports" deck in the world. However, U. S. naval engineers decided that despite all the French preparations, lhe Normandie’s upper decks were not strong enough to hold a flock of planes. The French had sacrificed reinforcements below, for the purpose of beauty in the pas­ senger salons. As a troop ship the Normandie was considered useful, but not near­ ly so useful proportionately as a medium-sized vessel, such as the Manhattan. Reason: big ships draw so much water that they could not efficiently carry troops to Dakar or West African ports. Small boats would be necessary to take soldiers and cargo ashore. Also the Normandie was too big to get through the Suez canal. . . . Do You Like Jingle Contest«?
