Batting champ at .376, leader with 135 runs, 230, hits, 131 runs batted in. 46 doubles and 18 triples, Musial fell short of a perfect score by one home run in a most remarkable season. He hit 39^ out of the park but Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh and Johnny Mize of New York each smash ed 40. |. ' j ' There was little question about Musial’s election in the vote con ducted by the base ball writers association. The first place vote of a 24-man committee was 18 for Musial five for Boston’s Johnny Sain and one for Boston’s fine rookie, A1 Dark. Actually the award, which also carried with ft baseball’s official sgmual Kenesaw Mountain Landis Plaque, is decided on a point basis. Each first place ballot counts 14, each second counts nine and so on down to one point for a 10th place vote. On a point basis, Musial had 303 for an 80-point margin over Sain who had 223. Dark scored 1,74.

Between the Bookends Blondes, Screwballs, Dopes ] Abound in Taxi Driver’s Tale By T. NANNEY My' Flag Is Down, by Janies V. Maresca, E. P. Dutton & Co., Netv York, 1948. This book is crazy because it’s about people, Maresca is a. New York taxi driver with a great gift for story telling. This book is sup posed to be a true acdount of his experiences with the screwballs, erhekpots, strip-teasers, snake charmers and bug doctors that abound in that great city, York. Maresca, a natural born wit and philosopher, has a keen eye for the gentle foibles of mankind and his job apparently gives him ample opportunity to develop his vision. He has recorded some of the wack- est characters I’ve seen in a long time. The ones who spice up his stories the most are women, nat urally. Nearly all* arc golden hair ed,' gorgeous, footloose and slap happy.

Maresca’s mill grinds exceedingly fine and they ‘ all come out hilarious. The re sulting collection of stories is incomparable as a commentary- on the general idiocy of man kind. This is a shoirt book. It has less t han 200 pages.! It is light and easy 1o read. It can be found on the dis play shelves of Cushing Memorial , ibrary. Read it and you’ll never* envy the taxi driver.
