...Didn't It?" Taft's first target was Secretary of Labor Tobin, lean, broad-shouldered Boston politician and onetime Massachusetts governor, whose frame and fitness gives him the look of a retired first-baseman. Tobin had been sent up to Capitol Hill to defend the Administration's slightly blurred substitute for the Taft-Hartley Act (TIME, Feb. 7). One of its foggiest points was whether the President would have the right to an injunction to stop strikes which imperiled the national welfare-a right clearly stated in the Taft-Hartley Act. Attorney General Tom Clark sent along...
Good Omen. The whole team had caught fire from Boudreau. First-Baseman Eddie Robinson was batting .462, Third-Baseman Ken Keltner was leading the league with five homeruns, and Outfielder Larry Doby-the American League's first & only Negro-had slammed two more. Bob Feller had won his first two starts, saved a third game by quenching a 14th-inning fire with two strike-outs (after Boudreau had tried six other pitchers...

...Vero Beach, Fla., veteran George Sisler, 54, the greatest first-baseman who ever wore spikes, got ready to manufacture a new first-baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He had a talented and versatile athlete to work on: hard-hitting, fleet-footed Pistol Pete Reiser. After two weeks of private lessons, Teacher Sisler expects to have Outfielder Reiser (who seemed to be forever crashing into the concrete outfield wall at Ebbets Field) ready to replace Jackie Robinson at first base for the Dodgers...
...Help at First. Branch Rickey's do's & don'ts strangely enough, did not include any instructions on how to play baseball. Although Jackie had played second base or shortstop all his life, he was handed a first-baseman's mitt and sent out to sink or swim at a new position -first base. Being right-handed was no help: first base is a left-hander's position. It is easier for a left-hander to throw from first to any other base, and easier to pick a man off the bag. Only...
