| NEIGHBOR, meet George Hartley
|Mc Quinn of the Cincinnati Reds—
'George Hartley McQuinn, first base
man, & possible 1936 edition of George
Si'ler and a busher who would have
been playing first base for the New
York Yankees if Lou Gehrig didn’t
have such an iron man constitution.
•. George was introduced to profes
sional league baseball by his next
door neighbor, Lem Owen, in his
home town of Ballston, Va. That was
In 1930. Lem picked him up and took
him to training camp with him. In
three years George had become the
best first baseman in the minor lea
gues.
Reds Grab Him
The Yankees had an option on
George’s services for several years.
Lou Gehrig kept going so General
Manager Larry MacPhall of the Reds
bought him. A trip to the training
camp and today George is playing reg
ularly in the Reds’ lineup, slugging
the ball and fielding brilliantly.
George received his first trial with
New Haven In 1930. He was released
and then the Yanks sent him to
Wheeling. It was Wheeling to Scran
ton to Albany to Binghamton to
Toronto (1934) and Newark last year.
He won the NYPA league batting
crown two .years. He has hit consist
ently over .300, although last year he
Jet down to .288. But, and get this,
his fielding in 148 games with the
Newark club was superb. George
chalked up a .997 average!
Rejects Scholarship
George, a lefthanded batter and
thrower, loves baseball. He used to
pitch for his high school team, but
couldn't get Into enough games, so
he turned to infliedlng. He won a
scholarship to college, but turned it
down to play ball.
His ambition it to play a decade
and then settle down to the life of
a gentleman farmer. Personal notes:
He is 24, weighs 165, is 5 feet 11
Inches tall and is unmarried.

TALES IN TIDBITS
DON’T OVERLOOK ETHAN ALLEN-A FAST MAN AND A
HITTER TOUGH LUCK FOR CHUCK.
By Bill Braucher, Central Press Sports Editor.
Klein and Davis are the names
that stand out In the recent trade
between the Cubs and Phils. . . .
but In consideration of the question
•that always pops up after such
transactions, "Who got the better of
the deal?’’ please do not overlook
Ethan Allen, outfielder wno goes to
the champions.
Ten years a major league player,
Allen never has been blessed with the
good fortune to play for a cham
pionship team, though he has seen
service on four National league clubs
... he started his career at Cin
cinnati, going from the campus of
University of Cincinnati to the Reds
... in 1930 he was traded to the
Giants and stayed with them through
1932, being traded to the Cardinals
just a year too soon to get into that
world series between the Giants and
Senators.
Misses Again by a Year
The Cardinals were a champion
ship beam in 1931 and 1934, but
that didn’t do Allen much good . . .
ft . ft
Klein Allen
he spent only a year with the Cards,
being traded after the season of 1933
to the lowly Phils ... his luck
should chan..ge now, for his pres
ence—and that of Curt Davis—
should put the Cubs right up there.
Allen is six feet tall, but he is one
of the fastest men in the game . . .
in bis school days Allen ran the
100 in :9 4-5, tossed the discus 124
feet, high jumped five meet 10 1-2
inches and did the 220 in :22 1-5
... he was the first hitter ever to
smack a ball over the center field
wall in Redland Field, a tremendous
drive . . . twice when he was with
the Giants he hit homers with the
base full . . . during the last two
years he has been a better hitter
than Klein, averaging .330 in 1934
and .307 last year ... he is a life
time .299 hitter.
So the Cubs, in addition to acquir
ing from the Phils one of the best
pitchers in the National league in
Curt Davis, also drew a rattling good
ball player in Allen ... of Davis
it needs only to be said that in the
last two years he won 35 games
while losing 31 for the seventh place
Phils, a team that would have run
a hangup last year without him. . . .
Davis has been in the majors only
two years, going to the Phils by draft
in 1934 from San Francisco . . . the
draft price is $7,500 ... one of his
trick pitches is a palm ball with
which he achieves the effect of a
spitter . . . he’s a side-arm thrower
with unusual control. . . . but he
comes down overhand on some hit
ters.
Davis is a husky guy ... 29
years old . . . born on a farm near
Greenfield, Mo. . . . with some log
ging camp experience at Grande
Ronde, Oregon, in his background.
Condolences
Chuck Klein and Fabian Kowalik
are the people to whom condolences
should be sent . . . Klein went to
the Cubs in 1934 for three players
and $65,000 . . . the world seemed

GEORGIA DORMANT
IN SOCIAL LAWS
QUOTES GENERAL GRAY
SON CHAIRMAN OF PEN
SION CLUB
"The sovereign state of Georgia
occupies the unenviable position of
being one of three states that is not
eligible for federal funds in the case
of its aged dependents" said General
W. L. Grayson, chairman of the Chat
ham County Old Age Pension Club.
"Furthermore,’ ’he said, "Georgia
either has no laws governing unem
ployment compensation, aid to the
blind, aid for crippled children, aid
to dependent children, maternal and
child-health service, and child-wel
fare service: or, if we have such
laws, these measures have not re
ceive the approval of the Federal Se
curity board. Thus the people of
Georgia are denied the benefits to
which thye may be entitled to from
federal funds."
Louisiana and Nevada are the only
other states that to date have not
had one or more of their Social Se
curity laws approved by the federal
dogrd.
I am just wondering how long our
people will remain dormant in per
fecting legislation that is so vital to
a great number of our fellow Geor
gians, some of whom are in need of
the assistance now being given to
other states by the Federal Govern
ment, and for which funds to carry
on this work, the people of Georgia
are carrying their share of the
taxes,” said General Grayson.
The Chatham County Old Age
Pension Club of which General Gray
son is chairman, has been very active
m Savannah and the surrounding
territory in the interest of the social
security for the aged and underprivi
leged. Only recently the club cir
culated 10,000 cards bearing a pledge
of membershp in the organization
and requesting the Ordinary of Chat
ham County to place the Old Age
Pension amendment passed by the
iast Genera! Assembly, on the ballot
of the general election to be held in
November, 1936.
TIMES' BOYS HEAR

Young Men." The talk was inter
esting and instructive and was well
received by the carriers.
This was the first of a series of
talks to be given at the weekly meet
ings of the Carriers Club. A number
of other prominent Savannahians
have been asked to appear before the
cluub. At the next meeting a bi
cycle wil be awarded to the boy who

in a contest which will come to a
close next week.

BUILDING OF JAIL
NEW POSSIBILITY
After a meeting of the Public Serv
ice Council, Savannah Women’s Fed
eration. yesterday, ib was announced
by Mrs. John S. Hawkins, president
of the federation, that Savannah will
hcve a new city jail if government
funds are made available.
The securing of a new jail for the
city has been one of the principal
works the federation set for itself. It
has long been felt by those who know
the conditions of the local jail and
the inadequacy of the present build
ings that a new building was neces
sary.
City Engineer A. S. Goebel, has
drawn plans for the new building
which will be erected in the yard of
the barracks at the west side be
tween the administration building
and the Chatham county jail. Plans
are going forward for the securing of
a governmental appropriation.
