The Most Harmful Criminal

Which is the most harmful criminal?
The seller of narcotics in the opinion of the Fed
eral Parole Board
Its members have an unwritten law never to be
lenient in cases of this character.
"A murderer generally commits his crime in the
heat of passion, robber because he needs money
or food but the seller of drugs is a cold-blooded
criminal who makes his living by prof1ting from the
weakness of his fellow men," it is explained.
Whether you agree with this Government opinion
or not the narcotic prisoner has less chance of
ting parole of any of the Federal convicts

rected by helicopters.

with two former SOUTHWESTERN cham
pions failing to make e,aeven the cham
pionshfp flight. They were DR. James
Vance, of El Paso,s Texas, and DR.. F. G.

Championship honors are far from
being definitely claimed, but the play
of r. w. Connor, of Kilburn, Wis,
tournament medalist with score of
70, and Tom Dunbar, Jr,, Of Phoenix,
with 70, proved they are topmost con-
tenders by their clear cut victories in
The first round today.
The game played in the champion
ship flight today was far superior to
that displayed by the majority of the
great crowd that qualified yesterday.
The, going became so rough that it took
10 to qualify as one of the 16 players
in championship flight
There were no play-offs Or draws

in getting the first flights off made il
possible for all flights to go the full
IS holes.
Several matches went to the nine

Hornsby Barred From
N. Y. Lineup Until He
Sells St. Louis Stock

PITTSBURGH. April 8 (P.-The rul-
ing of John Heydler, president of the
National league, banning Rogers
Hornsby from the New York Lineup
until he disposes OF stock he holds in
the st, Louis Cardinals will be taken
to court by the New York club
The Giants will seek a temporary
injunction to restrain the league from
interfering with Hornsby as a player
it was announced tonight by counsel
for the New York team after National
league club owners had failed in theiI
efforts to compromise the stock tangle
and had voted to uphold Heydler in
barring Hornsby.
Leo ]. Bondy, attorney for the
Giants, said that on Monday he will
apply for the injunction in New York.
He said that the matter must be dis
posed of within five days and that
while New York injunction could not
be enforced in other states a violation
of its terms would mean contempt pro-
ceedings there against the league and
its members.
At the close of the session it became
known that the club owners had OBJ
tanned an offer Of 100000 for the
stock from Sam Breadon, owner of the
Cardinals. Hornsby promptly turned
this offer down, insisting that he
wanted s12S,O0O for his holdings. He
informed the magnates that he had an
outside offer of $4,000 for the stock
and suggested that the league make up
the difference of i$36s000. When it be-
came evident that a compromise was
impossible, the club owners voted to
uphold Heydler and bar Hornsby from
the Giants lineup so long as he re-
tanned the stock. 81
Breadon's previous highest offer for
the stock was $50 a share, while
Hornsby insisted. on $1O5. In the only
plan of settlement suggested today
Breadon was willing to increase his
bid a total of almost $4,000, while
Hornsby shaved less than $500 from
his asked price The league magnates
after these session, which started dur
ing the morning and ran well into the
night, reached four conclusions:
THAT good craftsmanship and fair
dealings must prevail ahead Of either
the interests of a player or club.
2-That the interests of the National
league shall prevail ahead of any in
dividual, at the same. time recognizing
that Hornsby's stock should not be
taken from him. except at a better
than fair price and in excess of any
price that had been Offered. Therefore
an offer of 100000 was made.
S-Despite the fact that it was gen
orally known that Hornsby was st.
Louis stockholder, his transfer to the
Giants was approved and the contract
Of the PLAYER was ASSIGNED, this under
the assumption that the player would
divest himself of St. Louis stock when
he became a member of the New York
club.

NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT RACE
LIES BETWEEN PIRATES, GIANTS,
Is BASEBALL SCRIBES' FORECAST

/ NEW YORK, April 8 (P.-The ma
tional league pennant race this year
rests chiefly between Pittsburgh and
slight edge over John McGraw's clan
and the worlds champion St. Louis
Cardinals slated for no better than
third place.
This at least represents the consen-
sus of more than two score major
league baseball writer's who have
scanned the contenders from points of
vantage throughout the south and far
west and given the Associated Press
the benefit Of their opinions.
The experts whose ears are closest
to the ground look for a five-club
battle for first division positions, but
when it comes TO picking the winner
their choices rest almost exclusively
between the Pirates and Giants
OF the total of AZ selections, 19 favor
the Buccaneers to carry Off the flag,
while 16 pick the reorganized New
York outfit Only three put the Cards
at the top of their list, while four
expect the Cincinnati Reds to lead the
pack to the finish
The point totals in the consensus
further reveal how closely matched the
writer's regard New York and Pitts
burgh. Only ten points separate them
in this comparison, with totals of 294
for the Pirates and 284 for the Giants.
The Cardinals, selected by 19 writers
for second place and 10 for third, COM
pile total of 262 points to take the
third consensus position away from
Cincinnati. The Reds. although lead
ing the Cardinals in first place awards,
were picked by nearly half of the ex-
perts, 2O to fill fourth place. The
Chicago Cubs round out the first five
with IS1 points
Perhaps the oldest feature of the
compilation is that the New York and
Pittsburgh experts are evenly split on
selecting one or the other of three
clubs to lead the pennant parade. Seven
metropolitan scribes each selected the
Pirates and Giants for the top rung.
OF five Pittsburgh critics, two each
favor the Giants and Pirates while the
fifth prefers Cincinnati.
Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia
are disregarded almost completely in
pennant calculations, thouBh writers
point out any one of these clubs has
possibilities of springing few upsets.
None of them is rated higher than
fifth, however, in any expert diagnosis.
The following "box score" sums up
the writer's selections, showing the
number of choices for each position
and calculating the point totals on
basis of eight for first place, seven for
