...Rival fans, accustomed to Brooklyn's bragging, usually laugh it off. But this year there is no laughing off the Dodgers. Even Bill Terry, manager of the Brooklyn-hating New York Giants, admitted last week that the Dodgers are the team to beat in the National League. Bolstered by nearly $200,000 worth of new material this year's team is rated 50% better than the team that finished second to the pennant-winning Cincinnati Reds last year...
...gravest dangers to Chiang Kai-shek's Government has long been the rival influence of his Communist allies-whose Army he had recently to discipline (TIME, Feb. 3). If Chiang and the Communists get to fighting, Free China's goose is cooked. The Communists undermine his power by promising to free the peasants from the oppression of the landlords. Why not, Currie suggested, raise needed revenue and undercut Communist influence by taxing the landlords while feeding and pleasing the peasants...
...months fans have buzzed about Philip ("Scooter") Rizzuto, 22, a rookie the Yankees recently refused to sell for $150,000. Scooter Rizzuto at shortstop and his pal, Gerry Priddy, at second base, had made Kansas City the bugaboo of rival American Association clubs.

But it was Rizzuto, the Scooter, who caught the fans' fancy...
...A.N.G. "trial board" tried five writers on Hearst's New York Daily Mirror, condemned them to pay fines totaling $1,400 or be expelled (and perhaps lose their jobs in the bargain).

(on the grounds it was Communist-controlled); 3) refusal to accept the Guild as bargaining agent. The condemned: Ruth Phillips, rewrite girl ($500); Walter Marshall, ship-news reporter ($400); Charles E. Lang, head of night copy desk ($400). Stiff fines, they carried...
Presumably no less guilty under Guild bylaws are 40 rebel Guildsmen on the New York Times who petitioned the Labor Board to recognize the same rival A.F. of L. union as their bargaining agent for Times editorial workers. Difference is that the New York Times does not have a "Guild Shop," whereas the Mirror is now negotiating a union contract which will include such a clause. If it is signed, the Guild contract will bind the Mirror management, "upon formal notice from the Guild," to fire employes for the following reasons: 1) if they do not join the Guild within...
