BILOXI, Miss, March IL.
Looks like a three-cornered race
to me-" says Henry P. Edwards.
director. of the American League ;
News Service Bureau, who is q :
visitor at this camp.
Although he has not seen all Of
the teams In the league yet. Mr..
Edwards can't see how any Of the
clubs can or will compare with I.
the Philadelphia AS, New York
Yankees, and washington Griff'.
men. /.
He gives the Cleveland Indians
the only chance Of "pe1ng up =
among the leaders," and this pro-
viding Manager Peckinpaugh's
team gets the pitching.
AS Pitchers Best b
Mr.. Edward sees the AS as the
strongest club in regards to pitch
ing, the Yanks the best hitting
club, and the Griffmen the best
balanced in hitting and fielding.
But he agrees there's going to
be a heated battle for the flag
with the team getting the best
pitching, winning. In regards to
the Griffmen, he thinks they're q;
formidable ball club and one
which should get more breaks
than in 1881, ~
Mr.. Edwards accompanied your
Uncle Clark Griffith, Manager
Walter Johnson and the collec-.
ton Of players out to yesterdays
practice session. The johnson.
gang went through a brisk work
out under dark clouds which
later turned into rain just as
practice ended for the day.
All Of the players were ready
and rarin' after the workout for
tomorrow'S contest against the
Louisville Colonels at the Biloxi
Stadium. Carl Reynolds, Sam !;
West and Heine Manush, who did
not participate in Wednesdays,
game against the Baltimore ORR
oleS at Gulfport, are expected to-,
take their positions. !
Manager johnson plans on
using Bob Friedrich, Lefty Lynn
Griffith and Frank Ragland on
the mound again. This trio are
to be given every chance to work
themselves into regular positions,
on the Washington pitching staff =;
this year. !:
Wants Reynolds to Hit
Manager johnson is hopeful
that his "big punch" Carl Rey.E
noldS, starts hitting 'em far, wide, /,
and handsome today. Carl went :
to bat four times and failed to get
a real sock in last Tuesdays,
opener against the Baltimore
orioles. But Reynolds is being
allowed to take his time in order
to be in perfect shape, both
physically and mentally, on the :
opening day against the Boston
Red Sox at Griffith Stadium. !
An epidemic of bad colds and
upset Stomachs has prevailed in
camp since the Gulfport game
Wednesday. Roy Spencer and
big Fred Marberry were excused :
from practice yesterday because
Of stomach ailments, while Lefty
Lloyd Brown is still nursing his
cold. -
None Of the ailments are Of
the serious nature, however, as all
three of the ailing athletes were
around and about for today'ss
game. In regard to Manager
JohnSon'S pitching selections for :
tomorrow'S encounter with the :
Louisville Colonels at Mobile, Ala,
the trio of Carl Fischer, Monte
Weaver and Mike Delaney are to.
get the call as planned. r

MARBERRY Il |
WITH GRIPPE

BILOXI, Miss, March 18.-Re-
ports scurried around camp late
last night that big Fred Mar
berry, pitching ace of the Griff-
men, was suffering from an at
tack of the flu.
Trainer Mike Martin relieved
all minds, however, including
Owner Clark Griffith and Man
ager Walter Johnson, by stating
that the pitcher had only a mild
case of the grippe and that he
would be all right in the next
couple of days.
Marberry's illness will in all
probability keep him from taking
his scheduled turn on the mound
in Sundays game against the
Louisville Co.onels at Mobile, Ala,
1T big Fred is expected to get his
chance next week in one of the

clues TRA|LED
IN MASSACRE

LAS CRUCES, N. NJ, April 4
GN.SD Border peace officers
today reported the discovery Of
several clues which might lead
to solving the mystery surround
ing the killing of mother and
six children on a ranch near
Chumberino, N. M.
The three surviving members
of the family returned to the
ranch after questioning by Of
fiCials here.
Benson Newell, District At
torney for Dona Ana County,
and Sheriff Dick Traviz ques-
toned Maequadio Espinosa, the
6O-year-old father; Mrs. Juanita
Espinosa, 82-year-old blind grand
mother of the slain children;
and Josefina Mares Chabiri,
Espinosa's sister-in-law.
The theory, that the killings
were the work of bandits from
south of the Mexican border has
been practically abandoned, and
authorities turned their atten-
ton to a closer inspection of the
family affairs of the Espinosas,
in hopes that some clue might be
unco vered which would point to
the slayers.

Men must be treated better
than machines. Men and

who have pledged themselves to
the development of aviation are
making this city a Mecca during
the National Aircraft Show of

The Detroit skies literally

I believe Jimmy Doolittle was
the first of the famous fliers
to park his Wasp-Laird on the
line here. He seems to be
committing between here and st.
Louis during the show.
Casey Jones, who holds the
worlds record for transcontinen-

Casey hadn't been here long

NEW CIVIL WAR
PERIL To CHINA

SHANGHAI, April 4 GNSO.
While Sino-Japanese negotiations
are under way here, a grave po-
litical crisis threatens to upset
the Chinese government and stir
renewed civil war.
A conference of leading groups
from all sections of the country
is to assemble at Loyang Thurs
day. A determined effort will
be made to put an end to the
dictatorship of the Kuomintang
whose most powerful figure is
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, and to
set up a nonpartisan government.
The Shanghai delegation, which
will leave tonight or tomorrow
for Loyang, is supporting the
Cantonese in their efforts to
free an end to the dictatorship.
So serious is the situation that

movement.

Religious Practice
Held Stress Remedy

The fact that millions of people
are idle in this country is tragic,
Rev. James Hugh Ryan, rector of
Catholic University, said yester-
day, in the Catholic Hour broad
cast, but it is even more tragic
that countless other millions are
starved for the want of truly
Christian doctrines.
Had the principles of Christian
justice and charity been universal
ly accepted there would be today
neither economic nor spiritual
stress, he concluded.

COCHRAN VIEWS
!. BENEFIT AS
TWO-FOLD
Would Save Government From
Burden and Also Help Solve
Problem of Idle, He Says

Payment of the Soldiers
bonus by tax levied on 3
per cent beer was proposed
today by Representative John
j. Cochran (D.), Of Missouri.
This new approach to the ques.
ton of legalizing beer will be in
jected into hearings of the Ways
and Means Committee on full
payment OF veterans adjusted
service certificates next Monday.
Cochran said:
my bill will provide that the
money to meet the payments
shall be procured by placing a
tax of 3 cents on pint of 3 per
cent beer. It is estimated that
S3O0,0OO.~ 100 to $4OO, 100000 can
be raised annually by taxing
beer.
This will not only permit
the payment of the adjusted
service certificates, but will pro-
vide a way to reimburse the
Government. Further than this,
1t will revive an industry that
will place several hundred thOuS-
and people to work, thus help
ing the unemployment situa-
tiOn."
Full payment of the certificates
kAA IL -
cost $2,400,000,000. Backers of
cash payment for the most part
propose to print paper money
with the Governments debt to
the eX.serYic.. men as a basis.
