Comment On This and That 8r HARMAN United Pratt Washington (U.R) If you are a baseball fan, odds are you ' never heard of Benedict M. Mor gan. So far as I know, Ben, who died the other day, never put on a glove or put a stick of lumber to horsehide. Being on the puny side, Ben was a scholar when it came t o baseball, Harman Nichols which he loved. And he probably had more statistics stacked upstairs than most baseball writers. TONITE!

Most of the released cars were on northern W. NICHOLS Faahire Writw His concern mostly wa col lecting anecdotes and facts about the little fellow of the minors, like the Cobbs and others who grew to rise and shine in the big time. A good part of his hobby appeared in the statistical de partment of a book that told the story of minor league baseball. Een helped to compile that fat volume, which didn't sell very well, but which is interesting, even now, to the facts and fig ure folk. Today, the baseball writers put a -finger on the runs-batted-in department, won and loss rec ords, homers, stolen bases and the like. But Ben told Interesting things like in 1930, when Julio Bonetti of Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League cut loose only 66 pitches in a whole game to .comeup winner. Not only that, Julio once toiled 64 straight innings without walking a man. Modern pitchers are sore if they have to work more often than four or five days. But in 1905, a guy named Louis (Bull) Durham of Indianapolis in the American Association pitched and won five consecutive double headers. Ben tracked down, through his research, the fastest game on record. That was in between Mo bile and Atlanta in the South ern Association on Sept. 19, 1910. It lasted 32 minutes. With stal ling, rhubarbing and wasting time, a modern game under two hours is looked upon as awful fast. Back in 1920, there was a pitcher named Rinaldo (Rhino) Williams, who played with Fort Worth in the Texas League. Ben voted him the man least likely to be named thief of the year. He was caught 35 timet trying to steal a base. Most dangerous pitcher in the Morgan book of memories was Oscar Graham of Oakland, in the Pacific Coast League. In 1903, this wild man on the hill hit 49 batten. The record stands and most hitters hop it always will. It is nothing for a couple of teams to throw away or lose a hundred baseballs or so during a nine-inning contest. More some times. . Balls must have been prec ious in the old days, for on April 11, 1912, Kansas City and- Co lumbus in the American Associa tion played a whole game, using only one ball. "And it wasn't nicked up much when the game was over," said Ben. Ben dug up the fact that some of the old-time hitters were something to admire. On June 15, 1902, Justin (Nig) Clarke, of Corsicana, in the Texas League hit eight home runs in eight times at bat. He also batted in 16 runs. Corsicana won against Texarkana (in the Texas-Arkan sas League) by a score of 51 to 3. In all there were S3 hits, 21 home runs. That game, to be sure, must have lasted more than 32 minutes. By Jimmy Hado To 30 Oregon lines, railroaders said, where the car shortage is also acute. Paul Grider, Portland repre sentative for the Interstate Com merce Commission, said the Commodity Stabilization Service may be asked to extend its em bargo on grain loadings. Increased shiploadings at Coos Bay and Newport were the only optimistic sides of the car supply picture reported by shippers. The improved supply of ships available for lumber shipments to the East coast was expected to ease the railroad burden somewhat. Southern Pacific announced that it had placed its Eugene re pair shops on a 24-hour basis. Sullivan Supports Partnership Plan Portland (U.R) John Sullivan, former secretary L. of the Navy in Democratic admin istrations, spoke out for partner ship power development here Saturday.

City officials said the . move might be unprecendented in pro ceedings of a public agency here. General. Manager Thomas P. Guerin recommended the action because of certain practices of the Pacific Westbound Confer ence. He said they were siphon ing away from the Northwest thousands of tons of cargo a year that would normally move through the region's port. Mo Guarantee Guerin said Portland now has no guarantee of direct sailings to or from the Far East but oth er Pacific Coast ports have sub sidy arrangements which guar antee the sailings. As its first action under the new policy, the port commission decided to intervene in the ap plication of States Steamship Co. now before the federal maritime board for a subsidy from the west coast to the Orient. Guerin said the port would present its theory on the use of all coast ports by subsidized lines.
