OIT REFUSES TO
PUT ON SHOW TO
IT
New York, June 1 4 U.R
Mild Mel Ott won't play Jekyll
Hyde to spur his New York
Giants to greater heights, he said
today In response to suggestions
that he "get tough" with his
hired help.
"I am tough," he Insisted. "I
can be as tough as I have to be.
Just ask my ball players. But I'm
not going to put on a show. I'm
not the fiery type, maybe, but
neither Is Joe McCarthy and I
understand he's a pretty good
manager."
Everybody has always liked
the chunky little fellow who
came to John McGraw as a
catcher, 16 years old, in 1925,
and became one of the best out
fielders and power hitters in
baseball.
As manager of the last year's
cellar inhabitants, Ott lost
...ninht foil nff In his batting,
was confined to bed with stom-
o,h rfict nrhnnres.
"Nonf " hn explained. "The
doctor told me I'd ust have to
stop worrying so mucn, man
nil. Do I worry? Sure, how can
a man l.elp it?"
Somewhere In the off-season,
Ott acquired new philosophy, al
though he can't put his finger on
it.
"I decided tha t a manager
could be either an asset or a
liability to his club," he explain
ed. "If you strain nervously so
much that you lost baseball
values jerk a pitcher too soon,
n. hnM nft inn lore: or hesitate
!to shove the infield back for a
double play, or to try a -squeeze
yourself then the team senses
it instinctively, and you're done
for the day."
A manager's toughest jod,
marvelous Mel said, is to take
ball games "as they come, and
dismiss them when the last put
out is registered. Frankly, I
,n' An it vet. I wish I could.
But no manager ever thinks that
the other team won; he conjures
iin urenes where his team lost."
The payoff In baseball is in
common sense, plus a hunch,
nini ho nerve to carrv through
Ott said, "and the rest Is up to
the boys."

waived on by every club in the
National league, returned Bos

This destructive trio has col
lected a total of six decorations
for going ashore ahead of Al
lied troops to set landing sig
nals and direct traffic on the
beachheads, according to infor
mation compiled by the Na
tional Football league.
Halperin first saw action in
the African invasion, when he
landed at Port Lyantey, Moroc
co, to mark landing sites for
assault infantry. He received
the Navy Cross for that action
and later was given a presiden
tial citation 'or doing the same
job at Gela in Sicily. He re
peated this task on the Nor
mandy beachhead June 6.
In the same type of action,
Bucklew received the Navy
Cross twice once during the
African invasion and once in
Italy and also was awarded
the Silver Star. He had been
in Eneland six months DreDar-
ing for D-day when the inva
sion of France was launched,
and friends believed that he
also set signals on Normandy
shores.
Various reDorts have described
Bucklew as a "one man inva
sion fnrpp " A snldipr whn wit
nessed the former grid star in
action said that Bucklew had
stood in a small boat off the
Italian shore directing L S T
landings while "every gun in
Europe" was trained on the
spot.
Trioson received the Navy
Cross in the - African Invasion
after his landing boat had been
shot out from under him at
night. Their weapons lost, his
gang pushed ashore to battle
hand to hand and set signals
for the Allied lanu ng.

As good as Wagner Is-and

the Pacific coast's light-heavyweight
onerotors he will enter
the ring no better than an even
choice to whip Achiu, master of

wrestling maneuvers.
As a matter of fact, many ob
servers believe the big Oriental

to handle. Achiu is one of the
ring's most powerful gents, and
the all-around athletic training
he received at the University of
Davton makes him one of the
most capable wrestlers in the
