Maggio, dashing center fielder of the world champion New York Yanke: has been voted the most popular player at his position in organized baseball. And if that isn't Maggio’s admirers, that DiMaggio will prove to be the most popular ball player of thenr| all for 1938. Aside from the honor this vote has brought him he short- 1y will be presented with an auto- mobile by the Kellogg Company, sponsors of this event. | For a few days after the center | field voting opened it appeared that | Ear] Averill of the Indians, Roger Cramer of the Red Sox and Lloyd Waner of the Pirates had a chance to win the auto. However, DiMaggio follower: many of them on the Pacific Coast, began pouring in votes until the; tabulation took on all the appear- | ance of a political landslide. It was | the San Francisco lobster-vender in a walkaway. Averill, Cramer and | Waner finished in that order with very little to choose between them. e f‘acramento an Francisco T eattle Los Angeles 21.—Joe Di- enough for Di it now apy IWILLNGTO LOSE HIS JOB OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 21.—Ed- || ward H. “Dutch” Zwilling’s contract | as manager of the Oakland Coast League club will not be renewed next year, President Vic Devencenzi of the Oaks announces. Devencenzi said he hoped to sign up a playing manager for his 1939 team. No candidate for the posi- tion has been considered, he said. Zwilling’s one-year leadership of the Oaks resulted in a last place team. Baseball observers credited him with getting the.most out of weak material, however. Before taking over the reins here, Zwilling, a resident of St. Joseph, Mo., managed Kansas City of the American Association for many years. e Empire classifieds pay Coach Jimmy Phelan (rear waving when they reported for their first good werkout, and incidentally (h Dons Ready fo of San Francisco Dons whe arrive in San Francisco for the cpening grid clash Coach George Malley announced. during the pre-game practice, a technique to offset what can only be termed the neunced by Frank Bridges, Rattler coach.

There are not enough regular Republicans in this country to take and hold national power; and I must imme=- diately add there are not enough lar Democrats in this country do it either. This country is guided and its policy is determined by the independent voter. . . . I say ‘o the independent voter, you have 70t us in the palm of your hand. I do not happen to be one of your number but I recognize your su- premacy because I read the elec- tion returns.” The question of political moral- ity which puzzles our practical pelitician is this: If President Wil- son was right and the situation is still as he described it, the for- | mer Republicans who voted against ESenator Pope may well have been part of this supreme group of inde- pendents. If so, they either had to enter at this primary time the party | of their present choice or leave to a | handful of regular Republicans on | one hand, and of regular Democrats on the other, the selection of nomin- | ees. Theirs would then be merely to | choose between the two at general | election time. And where (he asks) would be the political morality of | that? For the most part the practical peliticians hereabout leave suchy delicate questions to the theorists high in the councils of party. They know that fhere must be. a great ovedy of shifting irregulars in the | land, else how would one explain Harding and Hoover landslides followed by a couple of Roosevelt landslides in the same political generation. And whether or not the )arv,y leaders would deprive these un» tethered voters of a primary voice, they propose to go on broadcasting political seed and reaping such votes as they may without looking too hard at their teeth, their pedi- grees or their party records. Somebody, they say, has to get things done—politically.
