BOMBAY, April 16.-W,n)-The
campaign of civil disobedience
which the Mahatma NJ. X. Gandhi
inaugurated on muddy beach at
Dandi less than two weeks ago,
threatened to become n crusade of
violence and bloodshed today, with
sporadic outbreaks from the Bay of
Bengal to the Arabian Sea.
Although Ghandi urged only pas
sive resistance in the campaign for
independence, demonstrators against
British authority at Calcutta, Bonn
bay, Allahabad and Karachi devel-
opcd into rioting or threatened mo-
mentarily to burst into violent con
flict.
Fighting was worst in the streets
of Calcutta, where approximately
so persons, including nine Europ-

BUSTING INTO BASE BALL
"How / Broke Into the Major Leagues
ROBERT M. GROVE,
AS to John F. Mccain.

vt was up in the picturesque hills
round my home town of Lonacon-
ing, Md, that l first got started in
base ball, and began the course
which one day was to lead me to the
major league. Little did think then
that in a few short years was to be
sold to big league club for the largest
price ever paid for rookie.
1t was in 1919 that caught on with
the amateur team of our home town as
pitcher, and that Summer I did well
enough for the Martinsburg Club OF
the Blue Ridge League to hear about
me, so the next Spring went over with
them.
Within four weeks after 7 got my
start with Martinsburg, the late Jack
Dunn, manager of the Baltimore
Orioles. came over to see me.
Lefty" he told me, I'm going to
buy you for the Baltimore team"
That same day he did, paying $500
for me, and I want to say he was a
great manager for a young player to be
with because Jack sure knew the game
and was wonderful man along with 1t.
From June, 1920, till the last of 1924,
i stayed with him at Baltimore.
Then came the big deal with the
Philadelphia Athletics. Connie Mack
paid Jack $l00,600 for me, setting an
all-time record for prices on recruit
players. That Is how / broke into the
majors, and how I happened to come
to Connie Mack, who. think, Is the
greatest manager in the major league.

TORCED to postpone the opening

and soggy fairways, Manager Ed
Burns said early today that the courses
may be opened some time during the
day if the sun comes out and it ap-
pears that drying weather may con-
tinue.
Shortly after dawn Bert Smyser,

southeast, appeared at the field house

Burns had been in touch with 5. T..
Leoffier, the course conceSSlonnalre, VINO
advised him not to open the layouts
until later in the day. He told Smyser
that the courses were unfit for use at
that early hour. They might, he said,
be opened early in the day If the sun
broke through the lowering clouds.
Smyser thereupon asked Burns II he
could buy a ticket for "a thousand
games" the number he said he hoped
to play this year, and Burns promptly
sold him a season ticket.
Meanwhile the Rock Greek Park and
West Potomac Park layouts all are open,
and if the weather improves, public links
golf in Washington will be in full swing
later in the day, when Burns expects
Leof1er to order the East Potomac

for such weather as that of yesterday.
Bob Barnett, j. Monro Hunter and
C. A. Fuller played nine holes through
the rain, with Barnett scoring SO
under weather conditions which made
good golf out of the question. The
eighth hole at Chevy Chase became a

the longest shots of any golfer to get
to the cross bunkers on top of the hill

BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

- LEARWATER, Fla. March
8.-The signing of an ar
miStice along the Brooklyn
~ base ball battle front has
furnished new life and enthuSi-
aSm for 67-year-old Uncle Wilbert
Robinson and his flock.
It remains to be seen whether
the Robins fly higher this year
than sixth place, something they
have been unable to do since they
last were pennant contenders, in
1924. There are sufficient prob
lens in the squad to make any
manager but jovial Uncle Robbie
lose weight.
Brooklyn has an outfit that may be
a sensation. as the Phillies were last
year, or 1t may again be flop. 1t has
exceptional batting strength, new and
promising young blood, pitching great
ness-even if only DaZzy Vance and
Watson Clark are in form-and II
has new spirit, engendered by Robbie S
infectious enthusiasm.
On the other hand, the jinx of phys
ical ailments that ruined the clubs
chances last year has not entirely dis
appeared. The throwing arm of Glenn
Wright, former Pirate shortStop, has
improved, but still is a question mark.
Del Bissonette, smuggling first sacker, is
not in condition, due to long illness
and a crop of boils. The pitchers have
developed Spring wildness. Babe Her
man, the clubs leading batsrnan OF
1929. has been holdout. There are
"ifs" to almost every angle of the clubs
organization. but Uncle Robbie has not
the slightest doubt he will solve the ex-
listing problems.
Two Promising Youths.
The most interesting prospect is the
sensational bid for regular jobs of key
stone youngsters-Neal Mickey Finn
and Gordon Slade, purchased for around
100000 from the Missions of the Pacific
Coast League. Finn is a second base
man and Slade shortstop. They have
come East with regulations on a pal
with that of Larry and Reese, the Oak
| land pair bought by the Yankees. They
| have class and color in action. If they
make good this year, Brooklyn's long
| standing keystone worries may be set
tied for some time to come. Wright
| whose arm has met early tests, and
Jake Flowers will start as the keystone
combination, but Slade and Finn will
see action.
walter GllDerC, the former Atlanta
product who made good last year al
| third base, is fixture. Bissonette will
hold down first, if he is in shape. Other
wise one Of the left fielders, Rube Bres-
sler or Harvey Hendrick, will be assigned
! for temporary infield duty.
Johnny Frederick, who batted 1925
| and was one of the best first-year mer
developed in either league last year, is
a center-field certainty, and Herman
when he reports, will patrol right field
The big hitter, offered $4,000, has de-
manded 5000 on the strength of his

season, it is my humble opinion that
the st. Louis Cardinals are as good q
club as there is in the National League.
I feel that it needs only some added
pitching to make it a real contender.
Since have always been very fortunate
in the developing of pitchers, am
hopeful that 1 will come through With
a pitcher or two who can help our
rather limited staff of regulars.
Five Veteran Regulars.
In Haines, Sherdel, Mitchell, john
son and Haid 1 have five pitchers
able to take their regular turn and give
a good account of themselves. How
ever, one must have more than flve
now in use.
When Walter johnson got fairly
launched as a bfg4eaguer back in 1908
with me as his catcher, five pitchers
we're almost enough to get by on. It
was no task for Johnson to pitch every
third day, oftener if necessary, but
times have changed.
There is a heap of difference be-
tween the lively and dead ball as far as
the pitching is concerned and you must
not only have quality but quantity as
well. A pitching staff of 10 men cap
able of pitching big league ball Is
now the desire of every big league
manager.
pitchers Who'll am hopeful will prove
very helpful this year. IF not all four
of them, then at least two. have in
mind Hallahan, Farmhouse, Grabowskt
and Lindsey.
Farmhouse has seen more big league
service than any of the others, and
back in 1928 helped the Cardinals con-
siderably in the pennant struggle.
Hallahan, 1 am told, has everything
but control. I have always believed
control an acquired part of pitching,
and I can see no reason why Hallahan
cannot remedy this fault, if that. Is
what is holding him back as regular.
Grabowski Has Stuff.
Often there is some little thing wrong
about a pitchers delivery that IS the
direct cause of his wildneSs. ! also
notice by the Three-Ey League aver
ages that Grabowski struck out l56 men
last wear. the best evidence that he has
plenty of stuff on the ball.
On the four pitchers have mentioned
I am doing most of my banking for
an improvement in the play OF the club.
There will be no change in any OF the
other departments so better results must
have pitching as the basis.
After watching the club carefully all
of last year feel that it is strong
enough in every department to be in
the race and convinced that some ad-
ditional pitching that would give us re-
serve strength in the box, would trans
form us from just first division club
into a pennant contender.
