To-day's Sport
Parade

Omitted Press StaR Correspondent


Washington, April 2S-(UP)-
Thanks to Mrs Dolly Gam, who
had me seated beside and behind
the most expansive ported palm
you ever saw, got to talking to a
guy who knows the guy who de-
livers medicine balls to the White
House. And did he give me the
lowdown! He told me:
/. That Secretary Of the Treas
ury Ogden Mills Is up with the
chickens every morning for 80
minutes of on-the-level boxing
with chaps who can hit. And that
the secretary who is built along the
compact lines of a good running
guard, has pip of an uppercut
and can do plenty Of damage once
he gets inside. Mister Mills likes
boxlng because it keeps me fit to
handle those senator's"
@. That Robert Lamont, secre-
tary of commerce, So, sometimes
works out with Mills and every
once in a while lets fly with an up
from the floor haymaker which, IL
it landed, would knock Mills and
the United States right off the
gold standard
hoS HSSASto&y AASA4J L.
Stimson likes his golf, but isn't so
hot. This may account for the fact
that he prefers to play at Burning
Tree, the only golf course in the
country where local rules allow
a chappie to shoot two balls off
the first tee, and then take his
choice.
4. That Attorney G en ra /
~
cabinet Che shoots in the low 1879
never has forgiven the reporter
who said he used a midiron in maxi
ing the only one-in-one in his
career. The attorney general. 1t
seems, used mashie.
s. That Seth w. Richardson,
Mister Mitchelrs assistant, thinks
any other sport besides bear hunt
ing Is for people who go in for col
lecting old lace. Seth has shot
bears in nearly every place bears
can be shot, and last year added
a giant kodiak to his collection.
Congratulations, Seth!
6. That Senator Borah Of
Idaho, an ardent horseman, makes
1t a practice to gallop to Sc
cluded spot and deliver his next
DAYS OTdtlOn Into the ears VI Tie
defenseless nag. Reports that the
S. P. C. A. planned to take meas
ures against the senator could not
be confirmed.
7. That Tasker Oddie, senator
from Nevada, is another ardent
horseman. The fact that he came
in from a canter last fall with 4
broken arm gave rise to the report
that he tried Borah's stunt-but
forgot to tie his horse.
y. That Ferdinand Veverka.
Czecho -Slovakian minister, was
once tennis champion of his coun-
try. But that he couldn't win the
upper southwest Alabama clay
court title now even IL he was
spotted two sets and his opponent
was Sir Ronald Lindsey. ambassa-
dor from Great Britain. another
avid racquet swinger.
8. That the gentleman from
Arkansas, Joe Robinson, slips off
for duck shooting whenever he gets
a chance. He likes the sport SO
well he even took a shot at lame
ducks right on Capitol Hill this
season.

Carey Selph comes to the ma
several years various clubs tried to
lure him away from the Texas
league, but he chung to his insur-
ance business in Houston. Now he
has become the leading hitter on
the Sox team, and his fielding has
peen' extraordinarily good.
Manager Walter johnson sent
Monte Weaver out against the
Red Sox for. his first start Of the
year. Weaver gave the Bostonese
four hits, and asked johnson II he
couldn't find some team that would
warm him up. The Big Train re-
taliated by exposing Weaver twice
to the murderous fire of the Ath-
lGtics, and Monte made 1t appear
the Mack shock troops were using
flank cartridges.
Weaver won his first four major
league games, one during 1881.
Urbanski Going Good
Here and there. o.her fresh w.
CRY has been displaying useful
characteristics. Infielder Urbanski
of the Braves has been very hard
for the pitchers to get out of there.
Pitcher Hal Schumacher has been
l.beled as the pitching find Of the
season for the Giants. Len Koen-
ecke, though he was slow discov-
ering that an outfielder Is supposed
TO bat, still shows the promise that
McGraw saw in him last summer
in Indianapolis
Frank Crosetti has become a
bright fixture with the Yankees,
though the brilliance of his rock
lie co-partner. Jack Saltzgaver, has
been shaded by, Lazzeri's sudden
flare. A great deal was expected
Of Crosetti. and he has given no
reason so far to expect a disap-
pointment.
Bob Seeds traded by the In
dlans to the White Sox has added
a powerful punch to the Chicago
outfield, and on defense his work
has been nothing short of marvel
Gus.
There are others: Billy Rhel,
o. the Tigers; Mickey Heath OF
the Reds; Tex Carleton. Cardinals;
Isill Harris, Pirates: Joe Norris
scy, Reds; Van Mungo. Brooklyn,
and Ed Holley, Phils, who have
| indicated they are going to be
around for quite a while.

nor Roosevelt won favor OF the
electorate in primary elections and
conventions in FIVE states.
In Illinois, although the delegates
to the state convention are unin-
structed it is believed that majority
of those chosen favor the President.
For governor, Judge Henry Horner OF
Chicago won the Democratic nomina-
ton, while the Republicans chose
former Gov. Len Small.
In Nebraska's preferential primary,
Governor Roosevelt was the winner
for the Democratic nomination by a
substantial margin. The slate Of Re
publican delegates favors President
Hoover, whose name did not appear
on the preferential ballot.
The prospects Of both President
Hoover and Governor Roosevelt were
strengthened by the action Of three
state conventions.
In Missouri the Republican con-
vention instructed the entire state
delegation of As to vote for Hoover.
The Florida Republican convention
pledged nine delegates at large to
Hoover. District meetings gave him
four more and two other district dele
gates remain to be chosen.

member that stock market and bond
losses from the peak of high prices
in 1929 had dropped $43,0OO,OO 900.
Mr.. Whitney's estimates were made

of the committees attempt to pin re-
sponsibility for recent stock market
losses upon. the activities of Wall
street bears engaged in short selling
operations. At the conclusion of the
days hearing the investigation was

Whitney is expected to place be-
fore the committee a complete record
Of the short sales during the last
week together with list of the prom
inent bears who have been on the
short side of the market.
Mr.. Whitney vigorously denied that
short sales had anything to do with
the recent drop in securities values,
asserting that widespread liquidation
and unsettling business developments
rather than bear raids were respon-
sible for the drop. He asserted, and
produced figures to prove his point,
that during the first week of the

prices was accompanied by decline

No word has come from the crimi-

Colonel Schwarzkopp revealed that
