 Expert observers felt certain the cabinet change, has nipped an incipient revolt before it could materialize. The busted secretary of war, General Joaquin Amaro, was regarded as @ Gales man up to six months ago. when the two quarreled. Since then Annaro Is understood to have been in sym- pathy with northern malcontents.
 Vatican City. Oct 15.-(UP)- The Vatican has drafted a note of protest against the distinctly anti Catholic character" of the Spanish provisions for separation of church and state, the United Press learned to-day. It was understood that the note would be dispatched to Madrid immediately.
 Mexican troubles
 Mexico City, Oct 15.-(UP)- The cabinet of President Pascual Ortiz Rubio resigned early to-day due to numerous disquieting po- litical rumors," the president an- nounced in an official staetment.
 Ortiz Rubio announced that ex- President Plutarco Elias Gales had been appointed secretary of war in a new government.
 The president said the cabinet resigned in order to allow him to reorganize the government on a more satisfactory basis.
 Four generals, members of the old cabinet, presented irrovocable resignations. They were: Gener- als Eazaro Cardenas, minister of the interior; Joaquin Amaro, sec- retary of war; Sarutnino Cedillo, minister of agriculture; Juan An- dreu Almazan, secretary of com munications.
 It was expected that the presi- dent would retain several other members of the old cabinet in his new government.
 It was rumored that Don Man uel c. Tellez, recalled recently as Mexican ambassador to Washing ton, would be given the chief post in the new cabinet, that of in- terior secretary.
 Recently political intranquility was renewed especially in the capi- tai due to agitation of various kinds in the political realm" Or tiz Rubio's statement said.
 "Under such circumstances considered it my duty to propose to my collaborators the necessity to reach a solution implying not only a momentary settlement but q formula of definite character firmly resting on the desire for public welfare"
 The president said members of the cabinet proved their spirit Of sacrifice by resigning and permit ting reorganization of the govern ment which will eliminate the possibility of political movements which, even against their will. are being generated in various ire sponsible quarters. The accept ance of General Gales will result in political cohesion and harmony which the present condition or disquillibrium so urgently oe- mands."
 It was believed that Foreign Secretary Genaro Estrada and F1- nance Secretary Mondes De Oca would retain their cabinet posts.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
NEW SACRIFICE RULE | WELL LOWER BATTING AVERAGES FOR l93l

New York, April (UP) High batting averages, such as have fea- tured the last decade. may be thing of the past because of the adoption of a new baseball and new sacrl- flee hit rule that becomes effective to-day upon the opening of the 1881 major league pennant races.
 A Big Change
 The new baseball. experts believe, will prove big aid to pitchers. The official National League ball has raised stitches and q thicker and looser cover than the ball used last year. The American League ball is the same as last season except that the stitches are raised.
 Under the new sacrifice rule, bat .ters will be credited with sacrifice only when they bunt q ball which enables a runner to advance a base Previously batters were credited with a sacrifice when they hit a fly which enabled q runner to advance q base.
 Must Advance Runner
 Experts believe the new baseball will allow the pitchers to get firm CT grip, and thereby put more 'stuff' on their deliveries. Regardless of whether batting averages will shrink because of the new ball, they are sure to go downward under the new sacrifice rule for previously they were not charged with time at bat when they advanced base runner. Now, unless they advance a base runner with bunt, they will be charged with time at bat.

By RONALD w. WAGONER United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Hollywood. Cal, April 14.--lUP)- Estelle Taylor was on record to-day as holding that if there is any di- vorce in the Dempsey family she will be the one to obtain 1t.
 While Jack Dempsey, former worlds heavyweight champion, was telling newspapermen in Reno that The hoped Estelle would come to her senses 50 lie wouldn't have 70 file suit for divorce,'' Miss Taylor received writers in her home at the edge of the Hollywood hills.
 T will not allow Jack Dempsey to get divorce,' she said.
 "If 1 am notified by Jack or his attorneys, or if any attorneys are notified that he plans to file. will beat him to 1t by filing here."
 Can't Believe It.
 The actress said she sometimes was. unable to believe she was a par ticipant in the affair. She declared she found 1t more unreal than any of her film roles.
  sey," she said. T have been with Jack six years and six years are a long time. I've fought at his side and aided him the best I could with his problems and in the many law suits than came during his life ar. champion and after he was beaten It seems strange that should be on the opposite side now"
 Miss Taylor maintained she had not heard from her husband.
 Dempsey's statements intimated he had sought reconciliation.
 'It is not my idea of love to give out front page stories about the wo- man you have lived with for six years," she said.
 Shc'ssa Sport.
 New York rumors to the effect that Dempsey planned to obtain divorce to marry Mrs Elizabeth Church, recently divorced from Reg inald Reinhart, socially prominent Pittsburg man, were broached.
 What if another woman came into the case?" reporter asked.
 I'm still a sport" was Miss Tay- lor's answer.
 The Church Dempsey rumor pre- viously had been denied by both parties and names were not mention ed to Miss Taylor.
 ''What if Jack Dempsey walked into the house now and she Let's kiss and make up'?' Miss Taylor was asked.
 T would find out first if he, made the statements credited to him." she said.
 Would you forsive?" she was asked.
 T believe a. person could be sorry later." she said.

Onc-Timc Big League Pitcher
 New York, April 14-This dis patch is being written in haste, as your correspondent Is hurrying to the depot to catch Il train for St Louis for his World series tickets for 1881.
 A circular letter from sam Brea- don owner of the Cardinals just got in this morning, making n very gen. erous offer to dyed -in- -thc-wool fans who want to sec ono of the games the Cards play in the baseball blue ribbon classic that fall. All you have to do Is to buy two books of tickets. at $10 per book. for the regular games and this insures you of being able to purchase one reserved seat for the world series games in St Louis It's wonderful plan.
 The next time there is an editors convention am going to take up this proposition to them. They could offer their regular readers a chance to subscribe to the Sunday paper for 10 years provided they sub scribed for the daily for 30 years, and, of course, paid in advance.
 According to MT Breadon's plan, if you want four reserved seats for the next world series games, all you have to do is lay $S0 on the line to see the regular games. Of course, if st Louis doesn't win the pen- rnant, you can get your money back If you work hard and save your nickels.
 The Cardinals have pitcher nicknamed Dizzy" Dean, but don't think there Is anybody in the busi- ness office suffering from vertigo.
