Another Romp
For Athletics?
Some Hope Not
By Paul MU'kelsou
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
CHICAGO, Apr. 13 iP) American
league clubs set out on their 1931
baseball wurs tomorrow with re
newed but rather doubtful hopes of
a tignter pennant race.
Most of the experts, accustomed
to seeing the league stage a some
what top-heavy pennant race for tho
past few years, predict Just another
l romp for Connie Mack and his Phila
delphia Athletics witn oniy a mue
interesting crowding by Washington,
'New York and perhaps Cleveland.
( The club owners, however. Join with
I their managers in predicting the
closest rncc In years from start to
finish and In first as well as sec
ond division.
A careful sifting of claims and
1 hopes Just beforo the big get-away
Indicates that the key to the situa
tion if held by the Athletics, who
have been running away with the
flag for two straight years. Connie
Mack, perhaps with a feeling of
rcmodse, . has failed to strengthen
his championship front for the 1031
campaign except for a few reserves
wntio i no rest oi tne ciuds nave
strengthened their forces in vary
ing degrees.
The Biff "If"
The big "if" of the race centers
around the Athletic pitching stuff.
If "Lefty" Grove and big George
Enrnshaw are as good as they were
last year, the A's "probably will re
peat no matter what the reserves ac
complish. If either of Mack's two
pitching aces experience a poor sea
son, and no reserve pitcher comes
through In big style, the whole race
may be turned upside down. Wol
berg and Mahaffey, two pitchers
who helped Grove and Enrnshaw last
season, haven't looked so well this
spring although Hank MacDonald,
husky 20-year, old pitched purchased
from Portland of the Pacific coast
league, has caused many a smile to
ripple across Connie's face. If Mac
Donald comes through and Grove and
Earnshaw are In form, the A's with
their terrific batting punch probably
will repeat easily.
Walter Johnson, and his Wash
ington Senators and the New York
Yankees, piloted by the came Joe Mc
Carthy who lifted the Cubs out of
baseball's wilderness in the National
league, arc the two clubs which are
expected to end the domination of
the Athletics if any atam does it.
Of the two, tho senators look the
strongest because of .excellent! pitch
ing, a timely attack, a tight infield
and the spirit that moulds cham
pionship teams. The Yankees, still
possessing a great punch nt the
pinto, are contenders although their
pitching Is of a Buspisiona quality.
Given good pitching, the Yanks prob
ably would extend the A's to the
limit, but they don't appear to have
them.
ED LEWIS TO
MEET GEORGE
IN TITLE GO
LOS ANGELES, Apr. 13 (!) Pon
derous Ed (Strangler) Lewis, twice
recognized as heavyweight wrestling
champion of the world, tonight seeks
his third claim to the crown, this
tlmo disputed. In a bout to the fin
ish at Wrigley field with Ed (Don)
George, former Michigan university
athlete.
It wns in tho same setting less than
a year hro. that George made his in
itial appearance In the west ns a pre
liminary man, yet seven months later
he defeated Gils Sonnenberg. an
other ex-colleglan. to take over his
claim" to the championship. His
reign has lasted four months.
Lewis, who first took the title in
10213, and again 1025, Is a slight
favorllo to regain possession of
George's share. Jim Londos is tho
other claimant. In some quarters
It Is being whispered about that
should Lewis win. he will start a
campaign to force Londos. represent
ing another troupe of "bceg strong
fellors," to meet him and settle this
title business.
With tho grunt and grimace sport
in high local favor, a crowd of 20,
000 is predicted.

Close Race Due
In Elder League,
Dopesters Belief
Hy Hugh s. Fiillerton Jr
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK, Apr. 13 WT Another
close race In the National league
with at least four or fire clubs in
the running that is the dope the
day before the 1931 season opens.
Optimism is the rulo In the elder
major league and few clubs are wil
ling to aduUt they won't be close to
the top in September.
The St. Louis Cardinals are gen
erally favored to repeat their tri
umph but only after the hardest king
struggle from the Chicago Cubs,
Brooklyn Robins, New York Giants
and Pittsburgh Pirates. The consen
sus of experts has picked the five
leaders to finish In that order with
Boston, Philadelphia and Cincinnati
bringing up in the rear. '
Cards Standing Pat
While all the clubs have added new
playing talent in preparation for
another tight race, the Cardinals,
for the most part, arc etandftg pat
on their 1930 lineup. Chick Hafey,
however, remains a holdout and Ernie
Orsatti has been given his place In
left field. The veteran St. Louis
mound staff has been augmented by
two promising recruits, Dizzy Dean
and Paul Derringer.
Wl th Rogers Hornsby, now man
ager, back in condition, the Chicago
Cubs are brimming over with confi
dence. Hornsby has made no
changes In last year's regular lineup
but has acquired a lot of good re
serves, both recruits and experienced
players.
HoUins Optimistic
Brooklyn's Robins plugged a few
holes by trading some of their spare
man power to tho Phillies for Fresco
Thompson, a steady second baseman,
and Frank O'Doul, hard hitting out
fielder, and also are highly optomistic.
The New York Giants the counting
on young Johnny Verges to take
care of third base while Freddy Llnd
strom plys right field. Like most
of his rival managers, John McGraw
could use another good pitcher or
two but Harold Schumacher and
John Bcrley may fill the bill.
Tho Pittsburgh Pirates, handi
capped by Injuries last season, again
are rated as a fifth National league
contender. With Pie Traynor nnd
Lloyd Waiter back in shape, the Pi
rates should be much stronger. Tom
my The ve now, ex-Phillie, at short
stop, may help.

Hy Alice Judsori I'eale
Wilfred, the ne'er-do-well of the
sixth grade, who possessed a posi
tive genius for getting himself Into
trouble, came to school one morn
ing all eager and purposeful.
His father had lent him a projec
tor and a motion picture film of
Jungle life, which he was eager to
chow to the school'. His teacher,
delighted at this opportunity for
letting Wilfred win attention that
was alBO approval, arranged to have
him show the picture In the school
auditorium.
Tho show wont beautifully until,
from somewhere in the dark, was
heard the shrill repetitious whis
tling of "Yankee Doodle." The prin
cipal, a stickler for order, discov
ered that the sounds came from the
enclosed box on the balcony inside
of which Wilfred was working the
i machine.
j To anyone with a little Imaglna
i tion it would have been evident
; that Wilfred, for once happy, in.
school, was completely unaware that
: he uas whistling.
j The principal, however, was bent
on tracking down lawlessness. As
suon us the show was over and
I Wilfred, flushed with triumph and
; Importance, stepped out of the box,
she cornered him.
' "What did you mean by whistling
like that?"
Distress spread over his face. "I
can't talk to you now, Miss ,"
i ho said, in a choken voice and
I turned away.
I This the principal thought was

shoulders and wheeled him about.
"That's no way to talk! Answer
mel" He swore than and ran cry
ing down the hallway.
This is the kind of thing that
happens to children more frequent
ly than we realize. There are mo
ments when to be scolded Is more
than one can bear.
New York's Good Bargain
The hind covered by Central
pnrk was not donated to the city of
New York, but was purchased In
38rG, the territory Ht Hint tlmo be
in;,' covered with shanties, bone
boiling fstnhlishmeiUs, piggeries
nnd tools, and very uudesirnhle
and unsightly buildings. Three
hntulreti dwellings were removed.
The price nveniged $7,ri00 nn ncre.
The present site covers 8-11 acres
which were purchased nt a com of
npprnxlniiitely $j,:iiS,9u0, only a
fraction of the actual value of Uio

Common Domestic Furs
The fniir outstanding domestic
commercial furs are mush rut, opos

are about 2.500 fur farms In the
United States and Alaska, and
about 1.0(H) In Canada. The ma
jority of these are raising silver or
blue foxes. ; -. " ..-"
Gambler's Reformation
Tlie fate of gamblers or inmo
st era is nn old theme. The redoubt
able and productive John Tliitlw.
In ids "Century of Anecdote," tells
of one great gambler who reformed
nnd ever nfter detested cords. This
reformation took place immediate
ly after lie bad won In one evening
a large fnrtimo at cards, on which.,
he lived virtually till ho died; his.
name was Col. Thomas I'anton, anil

TUB TOnm.ER'S PLAY
One younc father conftriert in mr
' his worries about his two-year-old
son.
) "He treats his woolly dog and his
1 boat exactly and his blocks all as If
' they were exactly alike," he said. "He
j never makes up any gomes about
mem. ana ne doesn't have the remot
est idea what the boat represents.
He Just carries them around and
piles them up In the corner or dumps
them in and out of his wagon.
"I've tried to Ehow him how to
build ylth his blocks but all he wants
to do Is to knock them down. I
really don't think he is quite bright."
Unless ono knows what to expect of
a two-year-old, one Is very likely to
come to some such conclusion after
watching his at his play.
j iiie tftvo la Lite Lwoyenr-aiu is so
' OnernsKPH With tin m nrn nvfitamant
of walking and handling and discov
ering that he does very little else,
i Merely emptying objects from one
, container into another, dragging
j blocks about the nursery in his little
j wagon, making his pull toys go, 11ft
; ing. climbing and endlessly trotting
; back and forth and round and obout
j within the confines of his small
world, are all absorbing, new and
! highly satisfying accupatlons.
j Such activity should assure the
I parent that his child is developing
j In an entirely normal and desirable
. way.
j The background of experience and
tho imagination to use such experi
cnce in games of- make-believe will
'net be his normally oven In Its crud
: cst form for about another year. It
j If a mistake, therefore, to urge him
to a kind of play for which he la not
: yet ready. A parent who would play
I with his two-yoar-old must do so on
the child's own level.
Artistic Thoroughness
Sargent, the great American
psf inter, took iullulle pains over n
pord-iiit. As nn iU.uslrutiou of the
trouble he took over details Is tho
fact that he once did 1-1 finished
studies of n single hand, so as to
find wbnt position would be the
best for the portrait.
Thoughtful
It was n very long play, nnil
nearly midnight when the curtain
was rung up on tho fourth act,
disclosing an actor sitting at a
table. Somehow his appearance,
Instead nf occasioning applause,
created nn undercurrent of sympa
thy. Ono of the members of the
amlience ventured to express the
sentiments of the house. "1 hope
we're nut keeping you up, sir," lie
suggested, kindly. Tit-Hits.

Idaho, was shot to death following
a quarrel over land leases and that
Charles Sllta. 18. Cabinet, was ar
rested and will be charged with mur

rested soon after the shooting which
occurred Friday In an Isolated section
of government forest) reserve land.
Two more men were arrested as
accomplices : Matt Hakla, owner of
tho rifle, and Abram Koskl, a neigh

and gave themselves up.
Critchell and Deputy Coroner Wessa
said Charles Siltn confessed shooting
Lund with a rifle. There were two
bullet wounds in the body.
So remote was the scene of the
slaying that officers forced those ar

a mile over a trail before n road
