Drinking Team. Squat, ugly Itagaki and lean, handsome General Nishio made a perfect army team. They drank great quantities of sake together, Itagaki growing garrulous and gay, Nishio sour and taciturn on the gently powerful wine. They shared two of the controlling passions of the Japanese army: a hatred of Communists and a companion hatred of Japan's great capitalist families (the Mitsuis, Iwasakis, Sumitomos and Yasudas) on the twin grounds that their abuses fostered Communism and that they disputed the mastery of Japan with the army.

...happy one. Manager McCarthy had not only fined him $250 for jumping the club but had hired rollicking Rollie Hemsley to take his place. Hemsley, recently cast off by the Cincinnati Reds for his dismal record of 13 hits in 115 times at bat this season, seemed an unlikely squat-in for Bill Dickey.

...brook, Senator Charles Linza McNary seems to go on forever. Republican McNary went from Oregon to the Senate, at 43, in World War I: he is still there, at 67, in World War II. This year up popped a brash Republican to take a crack at Invincible Charlie. Squat, bespectacled Attorney Arthur M. Geary is no glamor boy, is considered a nuisance by most Oregon G.O.P. leaders. But he slung out a slogan that no one could ignore: "MacArthur v. McNaryism...
