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 ON THE MANY TRIPS YOU WILL MAKE TO TYBEE THIS SEASON JgL YOU WILL OF COURSE WANT TO Jj 1 SAVE ON MILEAGE- 'pF AND OF COURSE there is ° nly ° ne WAY-- ALWAYS INSIST ON SUPER-SOLVENIZED WOCO-PEP AND TIOLENE MOTOR OIL AND YOUR MILEAGE PROBLEM IS SOLVED Colonial Oil Co. “A SAVANNAH-OWNED CORPORATION” SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, TRIDAY, MAY 29,1936 to be his oyster, but he went into a deep slump with the bat . . . and now he's back where he was . . . and two years older.

Cheerio, Kowalik: , 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.
