The Republican Senators who were
successful in retaining their seats are:
Dale Of Vermont, Davis Of Pennsyl-
vania. Steiwer of Oregon, Norbeck OF
South Dakota. Nye of North Dakota and
Barbour in New jersey.
The defeat OF Senator's Oddie of Ne

by the tide of Democratic votes, includ-

Since it now develops that the DEM

Moses is chairman of Rules and Bing-

FRESNO RELAYS
TO HAVE CREAM
OF COAST TEAMS
BY NORRIS LEAP
United Press Staff Correspondent

FRESNO, Calf. May 10. U.P) -
Announcement of entry of full
teams of the Los Angeles Athletic
club and the University of Southern
California in the west coast relays
here next Sunday seems to have de-
cided several things.
One is that the southern part of
the state will carry off the major
honorS again.
Another is that Fresno will see
better pre-Olympic track and field
records made than any other spot
on the well known globe.
Either those predictions will hold
good or history and the record
books represent a lot of wasted en-
ergy
And the foregoing fulsome re-
marks are not intended to be derog-
atory either to the teams entered
by San Francsicos Olympic club,
the University of California, STAN
ford University, the University OF
California at Los Angeles. nor to
the older and better known mid
western and eastern relays.
1t simply happens to be matter
of ideal climatic conditions COM
bined with the best of competition
of holders of world records and for
title holders by the dozen in ma
tional collegiate and 1C4A compe-
tionS.
The northern ana u. C. l.. A.
teams are worth anyone'S consider
alton, but U. S. c., and L. A. A. g.
are importing their powerhouse out
fits. Even such stars as Blazing
Ben" Eastman cannot hope to do a
whole lot for their schools against
such competition, other than win a
single event.
Among the entrants are not only
95 sprinters, All quarter men and
the holders of worlds records in
the javelin throw and the pole
vault - Jimmy Demers and Lee
Barnes-but also athletes who can
and have broad jumped 25 feet,
who have high jumped 6 feet 6h
inches, and who have put the shot
close to the 52-foot mark. AS for
the hurdles and relays, anything
within tenth of second Of world
record time is to be expected. Last
year two new world records were
made here in the relays both the
44O and the mile seeing new marks
established.
Also, last year the relays per-
formanceS here were superior in IL
out OF IL events to those at Drake
and Penn. And the 18th was a tie
among the three.
This year more of the big names
are entered than in any Of the
previous five relays here.
What the others of those names
do here promises to give good line
on their performances at Los An
geles in the Olympic contests.

NIGHT BASEBALL
SEASON TO OPEN
HERE ON MONDAY

Weeks of preparation will reach
climax next Monday night when
entries in the Ell Centro commercial
indoor baseball league gather at the
Wilson school field to watch the
Valley Steam Laundry and Maggie
Brothers squads open the summer
season.
With league far stronger than
in any past year, the night games
this year should draw crowds cor
respondingly larger, and furnish an
interesting race before the title
finally comes to rest with one team.
Workmen are busy this week on
the field and lights putting both
into shape for the season opening
Monday night. Many new lights
are being installed, and the field
is being brought into such condition
it will deserve the name of being
one of the best in southern Cali
fornia
For fans who wish to get q line
on the various teams entered in the
summer race, practice games will be
held at the Wilson field every night
this week. During these sessions
each team of the league will be seen
In action.

Pacific Coast
League Scores
(By United Press

There was little prospect today
that this weeks series, sixth of the
season, will bring about any
marked change in coast league
standings.
San Francisco, nosed out for the
first time last week in a series
with the Hollywood Stars, was still
at the top of the list and paired
with Oakland in an east bay series
beginning tonight. With Oakland
in seventh spot, the seals were
counted upon for another victory.
Seattle journeyed to Los Angeles
for a joust with the SeraphS. The
Seraphs were holding on behind
the Seals and were favored to take
the series.
The Stars, tied for third place
with Portland and Sacramento,
will decide the issue SO far as the
Senators are concerned in a series
at the capital city. There perform
ance last week in breaking San
FranciSco'S winning streak gives
the film city men an edge on the
Sacs.
Portland and the Missions, the
latter in the cellar, will hook up
in series at San Francisco. The
Beavers shouldn't have much
trouble with this one.

SPEED RECORDS
In SOUTH AFRICA

Making a clean sweep, a stock
WHY'S s-Overland six won four races
in a series held at Natal Spruit,
johannesburg, South Africa, e.
Gently, according to a report re-
ceived here by R. B. King, manager
Davies Motors, Inc, Willys-Over-

Spruit, which consisted of a single
five mile lap over a rough, narrow
and dusty course the Willys-Over-
land six outdistanced II other cars,
covering the five miles in five min
uteS, 24M seconds.
The owner driver race of 10 miles
was won in II minutes and a. sec
ands and the WHY'S Overland made
the fastest lap of the event.
The experts handicap was for 10
miles and served as a qualifying
race for the 20-mile final. It was
run in two fiVe-mile heats. In its
neat the Willys-Overland was
matched against an English car
which was given the liberal handi-
cap of five minutes and so seconds,
but despite that fact the WHY'S
Overland won by l minute and II
seconds.
The 20-mile final was won by the
same car in 81 minutes and SIS Sec
ondS. The fastest lap made for the
day was marked up for the WHY'S
Overland.
After the races the same WHY'S
Overland established a new speed
record between Johannesburg and
Bloemfortein, a distance of 28O
miles. This rough trip was made
in 255 minutes an average speed OF
$50 miles an hour, which lowered
the previous record by 35 minutes.

CINCINNATI REDS
TRANSFORMED TO
MIRACLE TEAM

NEW YORK, May 10. U.P)-Man-
ager "Dapper Dan" Howley and
Owner Sid We'll have transformed
last years tail-end Cincinnati Reds
in the most talked-of team in the
National league, and if they boost
the Reds from the cellar to the PEN
nant in one season they will be
called miracle men,"
Although such a miracle" is
hardly likely to occur improved
playing by the Reds has made them
the best drawing Cincinnati team in
several years, despite the depres-
sion. They are in third place in
the pennant race.
Two newcomers figured in yester-
days to victory over the Phila-
delphia Phillies. Wally Gilbert
singled in the ninth to drive in the
winning Cincinnati run. Ernie Lom-
bardi homered in the seventh for
another tally. Ed Holley allowed
the Reds seven hits, while Owen
Carol yielded nine scattered safe
ties. Lee homered for the Phillies
in the ninth.
The second place Boston Braves
downed the trailing Pittsburgh Pi-
rates. 6 to 5, in IL innings. 1t was
Pittsburgh'S fifth straight defeat.
Two runners crossed the plate in
the 18th when Frit Knothe drove
out long single, giving the Braves
the game. The Pirates rallied in
their half, but tailed only one run.
A three-run rally in the ninth
enabled the champion st. Louis
Cardinals to nose out Brooklyn 7 to
6. It was the fourth straight de-
feat for the Dodgers. Cuccinello
homered for Brooklyn in the second
Clark and Quinn yielded 13 hits to

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
Tnited Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 10.-There
Seems to be definite trend toward
bringing all sports indoors where
the customers may view the pro-
ceedings from the comfort of an
armchair.
Football, tennis, polo, golf and
track already have been placed un-
der a roof. And now lacrosse has
been placed under shelter. New
York will get its first glimpse at
box lacrosse, as the inside game is
known, in Madison Square garden
tonight.
With the possible exception of
yachting and free ballooning, la
crosse is the hardest sport to pic
ture indoors. For this old Indian
game of modified murder normally
is played on a field about the size
of the state of Rhode Island. You
need only to see lacrosse as she is
played, to understand perfectly why
space, and lots of it, is essential.
When "a men start swinging
hickory handled butterfly nets
around their heads, caring not
where the chips may fly, room is
downright necessity. And then, too,
it's sorta nice to have space so the
wounded can crawl off a mile or
two and lick their wounds.
Those who know tell me that
box-lacrosse is just like plain old
fashioned lacrosse only more so. If
that's true it's plain to see how
that box part crept in; the players
stand a swell chance of leaving the
field in one. AS in outdoor lacrosse
there is net or cage and a ball
to toss into it for a score. The WIN
ner is determined by the number
of goals scored. But am told that
those teams which concentrate on
knocking opponents and the ball for
goals, are rated the highest in pub
lie esteem. The perfect boX-lacros-
ser, of course, is one who can knock
the ball and an adversary for a
goal at the same time.
The game, I understand, is al
most as pleasant to listen to as to
watch. 1t seem that the whistling
OF the r6cquetS through the air
(the strings) the cries of the play
erS (the wood Winds, and the
poom-poom given off by noggins
was raped smartly by the sticks
(the drums) create an effect SIM
liar to that of symphony orches-
ira in full blast.
Incidentally noises are furnished
by the clang clang of ambulance
bells, and rrr-iii-ppp of antiseptic
bandage and the low means of
friends and relatives of the con-
testants, like a Greek tragic chorus.
Local promoters have reserved
several boxes from which to view
the game. If it is rough enough
there is good chance that New
York will find itself represented in
a boX-lacroSSe league.
