 The Big Bang
 Nick Cullop's home run with two on, two out and the score tied at three all in the fifth inning, feat ured the Reds first victory of the
 
 Reds their first three runs.
 The New York Giants and Boston Braves played the first double head CT of the season, the Giants winning the morning game to and the Braves the afternoon contest, 1 to .. Terry's triple, followed by wild pitch, scored the winning Giant marker in the opener. The second game was an old-fashioned hurling cuel with Socks Seibold besting Carl Hubbell. Boston made seven hits and New York six. Spohrer's long fly with the bases He'd in the ninth brought in the only tally of the con- test.
 Jim Bottomley's sixth inning home run provided St Louis with the winning margin in a 3 to 2 game with the Chicago Cubs. Grimes outpitched Bob Smith and capped the performance by striking out Hack Wilson in the ninth.

The Athletics got away to four run lead over Henry Johnson but could do nothing with the offers of his successors, Vernon Gomez and Ed Wells. Earnshaw went the route for the world champions.

HOTEL MEN PLEAD FOR DARTMOUTH
 GAME AT BOSTON

Boston. April 21.-(UP)-An ap- James M. Curley of Boston to affect some sort of compromise whereby Leland Stanford and Dartmouth might play a football game at Har- yard stadium November 2S without interfering with the traditional Bos- ton College-Holy Cross game sched- uled for the same date.
 Boston appeared to have lost the Dartmouth-Stanford game when Mayor Curley announced it would conflict with the annual contest be- tween the two Jesuit rivals. As Harvard stadium is in Boston the mayors permission in necessary be- fore games may be played there. He refused this on the ground that Boston College and Holy Cross had "prior rights" to November 28 as a football date and a Stanford Dart mouth game would act as a coun- ter-attraction.
 Business Ahead!
 Members of the Boston Hotel Mems Association said they would from Chicago to-day to see if he could not arrange matters so that both games could be played here.
 Edward A. Mclaughlin, Jr, presi- dent of the Boston College Alumni association, said he had not been approached officially in the matter. He said that if i've had had a chance to talk the dates over this tangle would not have occurred"
 Tt is just possible that 1t is not too late now" he said.
 Harry R. Heneage, Dartmouth athletics supervisor, said he would be willing to discuss an arrangement | whereby the Stanford game might | be played.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Guiding Senator Burton K. Wheeler
Dem, Month. and Senator David
I. Walsh Dem, Mass).
It is understood that Senator
Walter George Dem, Ca has been
mentioned as a possible leader
should the movement against Rob-
inson become threatening.
Others are eligible for the post
because of seniority or prominence
but George is regarded as the most
likely TO suit all factions.
Others mentioned as possibilities
are Senator's Key Pittman, Pat Har-
rison and Thomas j. Walsh.
Robinson's participation in the
London naval parley, his pre-con-
gress offer of harmony, and his
abandonment of his original posi-
ton in the drought dispute antago-
nized many of his colleagues, who
thought he did not exhibit Suffi-
cient aggressivenesS in opposing the
administration.
But it was his unexpected out
break over prohibition at the party
powwow that led to the latest move.
Southern drys as we'll as vets
have commented adversely on this
incident. Most Of them say, at
least privately, that Robinson placed
his personal and presidential ambi-
tons ahead of the party's fortunes
when he precipitated a bitter de-
bate over Raskob's program.
The English language is taught
in every high school in Japan, even
in the rural districts.

First Duty of President Is
to Relieve Misery in
U. S., Say Senators.

BIZ Scripps-Hoioord Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March 19.-In-
depreciation of President Hoover's
Caribbean trip as a mission of
mercy called forth comment today
from senator's who fought unsuc-
cessfully in the last session of con-
gress for funds with which to re-
lieve misery In the United States.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana said, Il have no objection
to relief Of the suffering people of
Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
but I think our first duty is to the
people OF the United States who
are suffering from economic depres-
sion.
Mr.. Hoovers first thought always
has been of suffering humanity out
side of the United States, whereas
my first thought has been of suf-
fering within the United States.
II has been adept at offering So
lutions of the problems of other
countries. but I do not know of one
constructive suggestion he made
during his term of Office. or as sec
rotary of commerce to either allevi-
ate the suffering such as we now
have or prevent future suffering"
Senator Elmer Thomas of Okla
homa said, Il don't criticise the
President for anything he may do
for Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands. No doubt the people there
are in distress, and relief of human
suffering anywhere is a worthy UNI
dertaking. However, there is plenty
of suffering at home"
