DYKES ADMITS AS
HAVE BUMPY ROAD
Jimmy Fears Yankees, but
Has HunCh GriffS Will
Wilt at Finish.
BY EDWARD ]. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

n IEW YORK, April 22.-De-
N preston all along the
/ Y business fronts may have
the Nation worried, but to
Jimmy Dykes it provides one big
reason why the Athletics will
triumph again in the American
League and set a new record with
four straight pennants.
ut goes like this" reasons the
peppery third baseman of Con-
ME Mack's team; "times are so
hard the boys can't afford to fail.
1t isn't any longer a question Of
temperament, overconfidence; it's
a matter of getting 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 pennant
from the flagpole 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. If they
ever get some more pitching to go with
that Lefty Gomez, Rufing, Pennock
and Pipgras-
"COMEHOW can't figure Washing
- ton quite so dangerous. Maybe
their pitching will hold up and
fool us, but toward the end Of the
season they always seem to fold up."
Jimmy like every one else on this
ball club that has jammed its way to
three straight pennants behind the rub

shaw and Rube Walberg, laughs at the
idea that disSension, self-satiSfaction,
Will creep into a great outfit and uiti-
mately break 1t up.
Why, these fellows are all individ-
ualists," he insists. They're all types.
They play their ball games. And when
one fails, another comes through. That's
their type of base ball.
Look at Joe Boley. They said he
was through as shortstop, and what
happened? Connie benched young Dib
Williams, a great ball player, because
the fans were on him and might break
his spirit, and Joe comes back in there
as good as ever.

SH|RES, URBANSN
GIVE BRAVES KICK
Young Infieiders Put Club on
Top-Terry's Fifth Homer
Ties Mark.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Press Sports Writer.

TINE Boston Braves, who couldn't t
hit the size of their collective
hats last season, apparently have
found much needed punch in
their two prize young inf1elders, Art
Shires and Bill Urbanski.
The Great Shires is proving he is a
first baseman, and Urbanski looks like
a real star at short.
With the veteran Rabbit Maranville
to balance things at second base, they
have made a smart combination and
have had much to do with planting the
Braves out in front of the National
League race at this stage. Both Shires
and Urbanski were hitting at a $40
clip through yesterday, and they have
been getting them where they count.
Fritz Knothe, another rookie whom
Manager Bill McKechnie has installed
at third, hasn't shown any indication
he will burn up the league at bat, bu.
his fielding has been first rate.
DETWEEN them, Shires and Urbanski
- accounted for four runs to help
beat Brooklyn, 6 to 3, before yes
terday's opening crowd of 10000 at
Boston. Urbanski drove in a pair, while
Shires knocked run across and scored
another. Red" Worthington knocked
in two more with a double.
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 5-to-4 VIC
tory over the Phillies. Fitzsimmons
held the Phils to six hits.
The Chicago Cubs collected only four
blows off 81 johnson, but two walks, a
sacrifice, an error and Bill Herman's
single scored two runs in the eighth
and gave them 3-to-2 win over Gin
cinnati. The last-place st. Louis Card
inals took it on the chin again at
Pittsburgh, this time by a score of 7 to
in 10 innings. Lloyd Waner's double
scored Grace with the deciding run.
MICKEY CoCHRANEs ninth-inning
1V1 home run with the bases loaded
was the blow that sank the
Yankees, to 8, in the American
Leagues main attraction. AL Simmons
hit one in the fourth with Cochrane
on to further aid the Athletics cause.
Detroit's surprising Tigers took over
first place all by themselves by defeat
ing Cleveland, 5 to 8, while the Wash
ington Senator's were dropping a tight
one TO Boston. to O. The Tigers made
only six hits off Mel Harder but
punched four Of them in the fifth for
three runs.
The White Sex were rained out at st.
Louis.

The conference of European powers that is now progressing at Lausanne is fraught with significance not alone for those directly represented but for the whole world, and hardly less for the United States than for those directly concerned The one-year moratorium debts and reparations comes to an end on July l. It is the main objective of the Lausanne conference to extend modify this mora torium respecting German reparations payments. Germany has said it cannot pay more, and even France has acknowledged the futility of demanding further such payments. more sensible reparations settlement ought to be possible

HOOVER AND CURTIS.

In the nomination of President Hoover and Vice President Curtis for a second term, the Republican convention true to the form forecast by virtually all experienced politicians and writers on current political topics In the case of MT. Hoover tradi- tion demanded that his party give him second nomination if he desired it. The activity of his Cabinet members and political and personal friends during the past year or more made it clear that he wanted it. Under the circumstances, the Repub- lcans could not select another standard bearer without repudating openly the Hoover adminisra- tion This as ex-Presdent Coolidge pointed out in a magazine article several months ago would have led to a schism in the party that would take years to heal and do untold damage to the organization. There nothing for the convention to do, there fore, but renomnate MT. Hoover, even though it had desired to do otherwise, which has not seemed to be the
 With MT Curtis it was different. A failure to renomnate him would not have been construed as a repudiation of MT. Hoover and his policies The President, himself expressed no preference in the choice of runningmate. From the strong sentiment expressed for Gen. Charles G. Dawes and other possible candidates it is evident that MT Curtis's position not strong. Except that Gen Dawes announced he would decline the nomination if it were rendered him. it is likely he would have been named second man on the ticket for a second time The Curtis nomination looks more like a default proceeding rather than the expression of any overwhelming preference by the convention.
 However it is a good ticket. President Hoover lately has gained markedly in the estimation of the country at large. If he has not made great Chief Executive during his first term, he has expended all of his energy and talents in the country's service Beset with problems that not on the horizon when he was elected, problems that multi piled many times the work of his office during such prosperous times as 1928 his has been and is a trying task.

Jerry stood at the top of the marble steps and peered about for taxicab, hoping vaguely that ont of the boys at the field would have come for him.
 He glanced at long black and-nickle roadster standing at the curb, then stared at it more closely No, it couldn't be, he de- cided; Emory Battles was in Bos- ton.
 He walked down the steps, crossed the narrow sidewalk, and, bending low peered into the driv- CTS seat. There, his face rest

ing upon arms outstretched over the great slanting wheel, was En- ory, noisily asleep. Jerry's pulse leaped He would rather have seen this lanky, carefree, reckless pal just at this moment than any oth- CT man in the United States. He reached in and gave the sleeper slap on the cheek. Battles strengthened up with a start of surprise. For a moment he blink ed, bleary eyed, at Jerry, then he smiled in a wide, contented grin.
 Hello, kid!' he yawned, Are you a free mann"
 His greeting was as casual as though t had been but a day since he had seen his closest pal instead of nearly year.
 Tall, rather thin, with high fore head, straight nose and a scholar ly mouth, one might have thought Emory a student taking post graduate course in philosophy al Harvard instead of a reckless head-strong youth whose passion was adventure and whose beset- ting vice was wanderlust.
 AS Jerry sank into the deeu cushions, his friend slipped into the traffic and headed the throb- ping roadster toward New York.
 How did you get here?" de- manded the battered pilot. q thought you swore off New York for ever and had gone home to get into the good graces of your stiff -necked aunts, uncles and cou- SinS?"

Fortnight Women.
(New York World-TelegramD

Some of the most cogent, clean-cut, compact current issues are coming from women voters
 Take the following, for example in a letter pub lished by the Newark Star Eagle from Mrs George H. Miles, President of the Womens State (N J) Republican Club and delegate -at-large to the Re- publican National Convention, to Daniel E. Pomeroy National Committeeman
 Were it not for twelve years of costly Pro-
 hibtion, which not only has deprived the
 Government of revenue but has cost
 people billions of dollars for ineffective and
 hypocritical enforcement, we would not be
 worried about balancing national budget
 today.
 There it all is in nutshell-and a neat nut shell, too
 Moreover, Mrs. Miles flatly says she would not go to the convention and for President Hoover unless he pledged himself to repeal of the Eigh- teenth Amendment
 It is encouraging and well worth noting we think and have said before, how clearly and forthrightly women are expressing themselves in this pre-con- venton eampaign-particuary the Prohibition issue.
 Many male voters, from long habit, meekly put up with the pussyfootings and wordy crcumlocutions of their labelled party candidates.
 Not the They demand a downright "Yes" or NO" And that is a refreshing and tonic note in politics.
