Comment On By HARMAN W. NICHOLS 'United Pres. Feature) Writer Washington (U.R) Trouble with picking all-time greats in organized baseball is that for each great there are hun dreds o near- greats who think they were great. Most of the latter are nas ty letter writ ers. Add these Harman Nichols notes to the mail from fans of the almost-made-its and you have a pretty big bundle. My friend, Ira L. Smith, has been taking abuse in this matter for several years. He is in the middle of a series of books on famous diamond stars. First there were pitchers. Then out fielders. The most current vol ume is "Baseball's Famous First Basemen." Ira Bucks Up But Ira, who has one of the finest collection of baseball anec dotes anywhere, bucks up and plods along. He says he isn't as bogged down as Liberace on the way to the bank, but he likes his work, nonetheless. His treatment of first base men, as do the preceding books, runs the gamut by periods. In the 1871-1899 era, there is an interesting chapter on Adrian Constantine (Cap) Anson. Cap once got mad with people who said he was too old at 39 to play baseball and borrowed a set of chin whiskers and wore them on the field. Cap finally quit at 45. Frank Leroy Chance of tne era through 1917 is well known as a member of the famed Tink-ers-to-Evers-to - Chance double play combination of the old Chi cago Cubs. But you may not know that in 1913 he batted for two other players in the same inning. Chance Hitler Chance was managing the Yankees at the time. Things were baa one day and he. put . s-l J McKAY.GIVES THE FACTS: In 1953 in the S3rd Congress . . . Morse introduced 83 bills. Of the 83 bills, the Senate passed , three! He was 97 ineffective. It is historic on the Senate floor that the signature of Wayne Morse on a bill is "the kiss of death." Wayne Morse in Washington is not selling Oregon . . . what it needs and what it can contribute to the nation. This selling job is not being done . . . and everyday YOU are paying for the fact that it isn't. ELECT D0U6 HkKAY AS YOUR U. S. SENATOR What is most important to you is getting a Senator who can gel things done in Washington for you and Oregon. Doug McKay has the experience, ability and prestige to do the job. Elect Doug McKay as your U. S. Senator. KBESTV""t59:30PM Pd, Adv. McKay for Senator Committee, W.L. (Bill) Phillips, Chairman . 525 S.W. Broadway, Portland 5, Oreson i . This and That himself in ai a pinch hitter, grounding out. But the rest of his Yanks went wild. With New York populating second and third. Chance grabbed a bat for the second time and drove in both runs with a pinch-hit single. There was a protest, but the umpire ruled it was not registered in the required length of time. There were many great first basemen in the era between 1918 and 1940. Fellows like Sunny Jim Bottomley, Bill Terry, Jim my Foxx, and the immortal Lou Gehrig, the old-time Iron Man. In the period from '41 to the present, Ira has concentrated on the likes of Johnny Mize, Rudy York, Phil Cavarretta among others. Smith, never a big-leaguer, has been saving information on ball players since "he was a kid. His good wife wishes to thunder he would clean some of those loaded trunks full of clippings out of her attic. Here are some facts you might not know about first basemen. More than 8500 players have been in the majors, and about 1000 of them at one time or another have perched on first base from one game to 22 sea sons.' All but 188 of them also have appeared in other posi tions. Most of the great players who caught the fans' fancy at other positions, had short trips to the initial sack. To name a few: Ty Cobb, Ed Delahanty, Pie- Tray nor, Wilbert Robinson, Christie Mathewson, Joe DiMaggio, Rog ers Hornsby. And of course, Stan (The Man) Musial who has played a great deal at first with the Cardinals. Even though he throws from starboard, he has done a credit able job. Nine men who have been on the rosters of big league teams as first basemen played only one game in the majors. One of these was Walter Alston, now manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
