Contrast in
Personality
St. Louis (U.R) Frank
Lane and Fred Hutchinson, the
new guiding spirits of the St
Louis Cardinals, have only one
thing in common:
Both eat, sleep and drink base
ball 24 hours a day. Otherwise,
they're about as much alike as
Yogi Berra and Adlai Steven
son. Lane, the general manager, is
excitable and outspoken. He's a
nifty dresser with a sharp tongue
that's almost always wagging.
He's his own team's biggest sec-ond-guesser
and he never hesi
tates to "tell off" a player or
even a manager at the slightest
provocation.
Hutchinson, the manager, is
calm and quiet-spoken. He is a
conservative dresser with a soft
tongue that's almost never wag
ging. He rarely second-guesses
anybody and usually criticizes
his players in private.
Curious Combination
It's a curious combination but
it's bound solidly together by
mutual respect for each other's
baseball knowledge.
Lane, who signed a three-year
contract last Thursday, has been
dubbed "Frantic Frankie" and
"baseball's Trader Horn" be
cause of his efforts to transform
the chronic second-division Chi
cago White Sox into a pennant
contender.- He succeeded al
though he never could quite
bring them home in first place.
As a manager for the Tigers,
Hutchinson won a reputation for
quiet efficiency and as a sound
developer of young players. Also
because he usually had a kind
word for everyone even the
Yankees.
FROSH GRIDDERS DRILL
Eugene (U.R) The Oregon
Frosh football team, 75 strong,
continued workouts today as it
prepared for its three-game sea
son starting Oct. 21 at Corvallis
against the OSC Rooks. The
Ducklings meet the Rooks here
Oct. 28 and play the Washing
ton State Frosh Nov. 5 at Pendle
ton. -
BRAVES DIVIDE SHARES
Milwaukee (U.R) The Mil
waukee Braves, who finished
second in the National league
race this year, have divided their
World Series money into 29 full
shares worth $1,694.05 each
six half shares, and two one
third shares.
TO OPEN HUNT AREA
Lakeview U.R) John Mac

the Summer lake rim section of
the forest would be reopened to

after accepting an offer to turn professional Trabert

United States and later on tour in Europe.
British Navy Orders
Paddle-Wheel
Washington The paddle-
wheel boat, queen and drudge
of a romantic epoch in Amer
ican river history, is stirring up
a new tradition in faraway
vaters.
Seven paddle-equipped tugs,
each 15 feet longer than Robert
Fulton's 130-foot Clermont, have
been ordered by the British
Navy. The Admiralty explained
that old-fashiond paddle boats
outperform propeller - driven
tugs in pushing aircraft car
riers about crowded dockyards.
However, Diesel-electric engines
will turn the paddles not
steam.
A few paddle boats still churn
up frothy wakes on American
waterways, but as an essential
mode of river and lake transpor
tation they are sentimental relics
of the past.
Ruled the Rivers
Although the paddle-wheel
steamboat reached its zenith as
late as a century ago, its origin
predates the Christian era. An
ient Egyptians and Romans
fitted war galleys with hand
operated paddle wheels. In about
120 B.C., the Greek scientist
Hero described a number "of
steam contrivances,-including a
turbine with a revolving globe.
A 'Spanish naval officer sup
posedly tried to propel a ship
by paddles and a "vessel of boil
ing water" in the 12th century.
Progressing slowly, a host of ex
periments in Europe and later
in the United States anticipated
the marvel of steamboating.
Finally in 1807, Fulton drew
upon the inventions of predeces
sors to build the first practical,
commercially successful vessel

combining steam power . and
paddles.
On its maiden run, the Cler
mont transported 14 passengers
from New York to Albany,
charging S7 a ticket. It traveled
5 miles an hour.
Ironically, in view of the pad
dle boat's new naval role, the
old Clermont's major fault was
its lack of maneuverability. The
boat's very existence annoyed
Hudson River sloop men who
found great sport in ramming
its paddles. Fulton later re
built the vessel to improve its
handling.
Once the Clermont had
proved its worth, splashing pad
dles and hissing steam quickly
ushered in the revolutionary
form of travel on Long Island
Sound, the Ohio River, New
England coast, Chesapeake Bay,
Great Lakes and the Mississippi
River.
"Steamboat Coming!"
The cry, "Steamboat com
ing!," echoed westward. Paddle
boats carried settlers; great
cities sprang up in wildernesses.
Broad, shallow-draft steamboats
bore countless cargoes of cotton
down the muddy Mississippi.
Travel on early steamboats
was, at best, hazardous. The
bottoms of. unimproved rivers
lay uncomfortably close to the
surface. Passengers chanced the
dangers of fire, , explosion,
grounding and the swift destruc
tion of hulls on hidden snags.
Competing steamboat lines some
times kidnaped travelers. Rival
skippers raced each other re
lentlessly, with no apparent
concern for the safety of their
hapless fares.

McCormack Expects Close Presidential Race
If Ike Runs; Demo Victory if He Doesn't
Washington (U.R) House
Democratic Leader John W. Me
Cormack today predicted a close
presidential race next year if
President Eisenhower runs again
and a sure victory for the Demo
crats if lie doesn't.
McCormack also predicted the
Democrats not only will keep
control of Congress but will in
crease their strength in both the
Senate and House whether Mr.
Eisenhower seeks reelection or
not.
McCormack, in an interview,
estimated that Democrats will
have a "good chance" of scoring
a net gain of 12 to 20 seats in the
House and three to five in the
Senate.
The Massachusetts Democrat
said he anticipates a "wide open
race for the Democratic presi
dential nomination. He said re
cently that he would not be sur
prised if Adlai E. Stevenson
failed to get the nod. There are
several , "excellent candidates,"
he said, but he declined to spec
ulate on who is most likely to
win.

was fired 70 miles into the sky
last night in a so-called artific

The experiment, which pro

called a success by Air Force re
