Marshall Field, who owned no publishing property at all a half dozen years ago, is on the verge of becoming a journalistic colossus. Besides papers in the nation's two largest cities, and his explorations into the magazine and country weekly fields, he now owns a Cincinnati radio station (WSAI), a syndicated Sunday supplement (Parade), and parts of two big book-publishing companies (Simon & Schuster and Pocket Books, Inc.-TIME, Nov. 13). But reports that he is about to set up a newspaper shop in Philadelphia and Denver are false, he says: "I don't think I believe...
...Players. The veterans with the know-how got off to a better start than the recruits. Last year's pitching stars picked up where they left off. Cincinnati's Ed Heusser showed off his lowest earned-run average (2.38) in the National League by shutting out Pittsburgh; Detroit's Dizzy Trout won twice in six days, proving that his right arm was not burned out from overwork (he labored 352 innings last year, won 27 games); Trout's pitching partner, Lefty Hal Newhouser, lost-his first, came right back to beat Cleveland...
...overlooked in a year like 1945 is Cincinnati's Bill McKechnie-bossed Reds, who always turn up with good pitching. They still have 34-year-old Pitcher Bucky Walters and the league's top first baseman, Frank McCormick. The four Eastern clubs, which formed a solid second-division block in 1944, are filled with long ifs and forlorn buts. If Manager Mel Ott's aging legs hold out, if they get one pitcher to help 21-game winner Bill Voiselle, the New York Giants might climb upstairs. The Philadelphia Phils must struggle along without their one power...
...tales that advertising men have been telling housewives about the labor-saving wonders of the mechanical "world of tomorrow" have been enough to make realists see red. Sidney A. Mullikin, sales and advertising manager, and Thomas L. Hand, formerly product designer for The Schaible Co. (small plumbing fixtures) of Cincinnati, have been much annoyed by these streamlined taradiddles. Seized one day with a desire to debunk the false prophets, Mullikin & Hand planned a reductio ad absurdum, their own radar-electronic "kitchen of tomorrow," and showed a sketch of it to their boss. Schaible was so tickled that it rounded...
...overlooking the besieged Intramuros. Beyond its far wall the Manila Hotel's north wing was burning. Two hundred yards across the river a concrete building was ablaze. Shells from our Long Toms whistled past. Below us machine guns sputtered. Through it all Captain Francis X. Shannon Jr. of Cincinnati sat in a chair and calmly read a paperbound book. I glanced at the title. It was Margery Wilson's Pocket Book of Etiquette...
