The Boston Braves, who couldn't

asst season apparently have found a
luch, much needed punch in their
wo prize young infielders, Art Shires

ike a real star at short.
With the veteran Rabbit Maran-
lille to balance things at second base

ng the Braves out in front Of the
National League race at this stage.
Both Shires and Urbanski were hit

where they count.

Between them. Shires and Urban

,eat Brooklyn, to 3, before Thurs
lays opening crowd of 10000 at BoS-

The days best individual feat was
witnessed at Philadelphia, where Bill
Terry of the Giants slapped his fifth
home run in three days to tie the
major league record and provide S

The Chicago Cubs collected only
our blows of 81 johnson, but two

JIMMY DYKES SAYS MACKMEN
CANNOT AFFORD TOLOSE FLAG
Believes Athletics Will Play
Heads Off For Import
ant Series Money

New York, April 22.-(P1-Depres-
sion Ill along the business fronts may
have the nation worried but to Jim
my Dykes it provides one big reason
why the Athletics will triumph again
in the American League and set new
record with four straight pennants.
1T goes like this" reasons the pep
perry third baseman on Connie Macks
team, 'times are so hard the boys
can't afford to fall. It isn't any
longer a question Of temperament
overconfidence, it's matter OF get
ting in there and playing your head off
for that important world series
money"
Jimmy was very serious as he laid
down his argument. He Is certain
Philadelphia will float another pen
nant from the flag pole in Shibe
Park, but the way, he admits, will be
long and hard.
"Those Yanks-boy are they tough?
The Babe hits and Lou Gehrig hits
and BAN goes your ball game. II
they ever get some more pitching to
60 with that Lefty Gomez, Ruffing,
Pennock and Pipgras-.
Says Senators Fold Up
Somehow I can't figure Washing
ton quite 50 dangerous. Maybe their
pitching will hold up and fool us, but
toward the end OF the season they al
ways fold up"
Jimmy, like everyone else on this
ball club that has jammed its way to
three straight pennants behind the
rubber arms Of Lefty Grove. George
Earnshaw and Rube Walberg, laughs
at the idea that dissension, self-satis-
faction, will creep into a great outfit
and ultimately break it up.
why these fellows are all individ-
ualists," he insists. They're all types.
They play ball games. And when one
fails another comes through. That's
their type OF baseball.
Look at Joe Boley. They said he
was through as q shortstop and what
happened? Connie benched young
Dib Williams, q great ball player, be-
cause the fans were on him and might
break his spirit. and Joe comes back
in there as good as ever.
Fans Get Rabid
II tell you we've got q great gang.
They're always agruing among them
selves and they get SO rabid the next
thing you expect Is a fight. Two of
them will be going great guns. But
let third man try to edge into the
argument and they both jump on
him.
Don't forget the Cards taught us
to remember any time we
feel too sure Of ourselves. They
showed us we weren't exactly invinci-
BILE. We're not kidding ourselves any
now.
ITS lot like playing that third
base out there. You've got to have
plenty Of luck with you on the hard
ones. Remember that smash Chick
Hafey hit in the first game of the
world series at Philadelphia last fall?
yeah? I made q dive at some
thing that looked like q baseball.
And there It was.
First thing I thought was look
what I found
And everyone said,, wonderful
play"

Many pitch shots fail because the
player fails to hit the shot hard
enough. Correctly executed, the shot
requires more force than the pitch
and run or the chip shot for the
same distance.
Harder hitting imparts more spin
on the ball This also is an aid to
better direction and finer control of
the ball in flight
A common belief, and an erroneous
one. is that height of the shot and
backspin go together. Backspin does
not depend OH the height of the ball,
but on the speed of the descending
clubhead. A low shot with plenty of
backspin holds the green as well as
the high pitched ball.
Keep the right hand from rolling
over the left, as this frequently
causes a topped, smothered or hook
ed shot. Keep the club face open
until the ball has been hit.

Predicts Rapid
Railroad Transit

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 13. U.P)-
Hermetically- sealed trains, stream
lined to the Nth" degree, running
from st. Paul to New York in IL
hours!
This was the prediction advanced
by j. Archie Borland, st. Paul in
ventor, for a new super train" to
be built in time for exhibition at
the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Construction of the train, which
will reach a speed Of $50 miles an
hour on present roadoeds, according
to the inventor, will complete four
years of research and designing, and
will cost S1,000,000.
Dies and patterns are to be con-
structed Immediately, since some of
the nations foremost experts have
approved the plans, Borland said.
While the ordinary train running
between New York and Chicago
with IS coaches requires fuel cost
ing S795, Borland says his train will
use only S163 for motive power, and
will travel nearly three times as
fast.
The Borland pullman is lighter
than the average coach now in use.
Today the Pullman car weighs ITO
tons. Borland's pullman will weigh
A tons.

United Press Staff Correspondent

RENO, New, Aug. 13. U.P)-A
divorce may be obtained here after
six weeks residence, but it takes
year to go crazy
A fishing or hunting license is
available only after six months of
living in Nevada, but no time at
all is required for marriage Ii
censesl
Such are the peculiar residential
fusion and inconsistency resulted
from frequent amendments to the
divorce law in the hope of attract
ing larger volume of divorce bus
mess here. Meantime, other laws
as to residence remain unchanged
Strange Restrictions
Strange situations sometimes de-
velop as to residence. There was
the woman, for instance, who
couldn't understand why she was
denied a resident fishing license af-
ter court had just finished grant
ing her a divorce on the basis that
she was Nevadan
If the same woman should go in
sane, which she didn't, she would
find that an insane ward of Ne
vada must have been here a year
before being SO classed.
Frequently a person who has OBJ
tanned a divorce becomes exceed
ingly "civic minded" and decides
to cast a vote in Nevada only to
learn that registrations are not ac-
cepted until the aspirant citizen
has lived in the state for six
months and in the county 80 days.
One Hard and Fast Rule
To the other extreme are mar
riage licenses. There is but one
hard and fast rule, it being that
persons of opposite races cannot
marry. This includes such things

They are going to combine on 4
split profit basis
Scotland Yard is said to nave
information that a prominent Soho
gang leader already has mapped
out sections of the West End shop
ping district for certain gangs to
handle. There is to be no inter-
ference by one group in anothers
territory, except by invitation" on

A cash split Is made at the end

there may be honor among thieves,
a qualified accountant has been en-
gagged to keep the books, to prevent
double-crossing.
Gangdom at present is concen-
trating on the smaller shops. The
new combine continues the old
practice of avoiding the use Of
fences" in disposing of loot, and
sells it to the unsuspecting public
through what appears to be legiti-
mate and honest businesses. No
attempt is made to get rid of jew
elry in this country. 1t is all sent

accomplices.

of revolvers are believed to be held
by private citizens without licenses.
