HAFEY IN FRONT
 HITTING H0MERS
Hard Luck Player With Cardi- nals Making Great Comeback

New York, April 20 UP)-The conclusion of the opening series of major league baseball this season finds the fans hats off to "Chicll' Hafey of the St. Louis Cardinals, a player beset by hard luck since first he broke into fast company,
 For a time it seemed as though sInus trouble and other handicaps might force Hafey out of the Ma tional league and possible cause him 10 give up baseball altogether.
 'Chick" couldn't see the length Of his bat for a time. Now he is out in front of the home run parade, with fine start towards seasonal honors, and every fan who has fol- lowed his ups and downs is roofing hard for him.
 HafCy hit two home runs yester- day, 10 help the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Cincinnati Reds. Ills first drive cleared the scoreboard at Redland park which is 4l feet from home plate and 25 feet high.
 This was the longest blow ever made in Cincinnati. A little later, Hafcv drove another homer over the left field fence.
 1n the opening game Of the season "Chick" hit q homer off Red Lucas, who had been working effectively, enabling the Cardinals to start the pennant race with a victory. Hatey's home run total for the season is three, but then the Cards have played only four games. so "Chick's' average is not so bad.
 The chances are that if this con tinues, Hafey's optician will start ad- vertising, for Chick took to glass,s as a last resort and with pronounce ed success.
 Few ball players have made good behind spoctacles in fast company. There was Lee Meadows, for one, and the rest can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
 "I'll try them for season, and then if l cant made good I'll get out and admit I'm licked.' he said early this year.
 From the way he has started, he apparently will make good, and hls return 10 form may mean big things for the National league champions.
 Hafey had hard luck practical lY ever since he came up 10 the ma JOrs. although he has been recogniZ- ed as one Of the best outiiclders in the game. He is a native of Be' kelley. California, Helrr Wills home town, and is 2G years old.

Houston, Tex, April 20-A con ccit"d young man, by his own ad- mission, who doesn't go in heavily for training, nor for shows or dates or society-that's Claude Rrac"y. Rice Institute sprinter, who recently ran the 100 in 94 seconds one day and in 9.5 seconds the next day.
 r. seems surprising 10 hear him say he is conCeitcd He looks and acts anyt hing else.
 If you don't believe me" he says, ask 'cm around the school. They expect it ot us athletes.
 "Of course. I'm running for the fun Of it and not the glory. Running a good race is what l am interested in. not what people think about me. Most of the time l just about forget that there is Il crowd watching me
 Dracey's fame as runner d"Nel- oped long before he ever graduated from the small Humble high school and entered Rice. In his younger days around Humble, he played with his pals th" game of Hare-and- Hound chasing zach other from on" end of town to another. He was such q speedy runner that 'h" rival si1.s often squabbled over which was to hay. him.
 AS high school student, he cam" into prominonc- by outdistancing all other men m school.
 Ern'e HJerborg, Rice track coach, helped hin overcome his greatest fault-a slow start. But he dorsn't Use any special" method today.
 T just get out there and run naturally he says.
 Brac-y cIme into national prom inence last spring when he turned in sensational performances at th" annual relays m Texas. He was sue cessful in making the Olympic squad but when t1" big test came he just couldn't gc' right
 He is philosophical about tha; failure.
 If you win. that's fine" he says. If you do your best. and lose, il cant be helpod-so why worry? Tn" thing 10 do IS Q lose gracefully, in q sportsmaniike way
 Compared 10 the average student on the Rice campus. Hracey's life IS almost that Of reClnse.
 He leaves the campus seldom. and then mostly 10 visit his parents or 10 make q trip downtown and back. He doesn't like shows; thinks society is all wei; never wears formal clcthes; doesn't dance: dates with only on" or tWo girls. and is quiet almost 10 tn" point Of self -efface- m"nt.
 H.. hates nightly 10 talk about ! himself. His pet subject Of conver- , Safion happens to inc spFintine ahil- ity Of his yoUus"r hrot her. Norris

 Y may he surprising that Bracey do.sI go in he1 fly for Training nor 1 does h. spend his summer months in practicing 10 better himself "Sprinters ar. born, not made.' ho 1 thinks. and I'll ming comes natural with me As 'ong as I take care Of myself and eat reasonably, get

Products Noted In Week
ly Review by Gregory

FORT WORTH, June 21.-Grapes
were added to the list Of products
being offered on the markets Of the
nation during the past week and an
economic study of the eastern grape
industry was undertaken ny federal
and New York state officials. M.
G. Gregory, local representative Of
the market news service of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
points out in his weekly survey.
California and Florida began
moving grapes in limited quantities
and a light movement from Texas
was reported. Thompson's seedless
grapes from Laredo sold at Sc per
lug box in Fort Worth.
The survey continues:
A downward price tendency was
noticed for many products. Lettuce
declined in California shipping dis
tricts. Prices Of watermelons and
cabbage held nearly steady. while
onions and old potatoes advanced.
Combined movement Of the prlnci-
pal fruits and vegetables decreased
slightly to q ,910 cars.
