CARDS ARE FACING
STERN OPPOSITION
Giants Rated Real Pennant
Threat-Cubs, Dodgers
Also in Picture.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n IEW YORK, April lit will
M be rocky road that leads
L Y to the 1882 National League
pennant if shifts in player
talent bring about an expected
balancing of strength all down
the line.
There is no getting away from
the fact that the world champion
st. Louis Cardinals will start the
campaign tomorrow pronounced
favoriteS to wind up in September
with their third straight crown.
But there is no expectation that they
can make such a runaway race of it
as they did year ago, not with such
formidable challengers as the New York
Chants and Chicago Cubs in the field.
Since the Cardinals captured the
world series from the Athletics last Fall
they have lost the services of a great
pitcher, Burleigh Grimes, and an out
helder, Chick Hafey, who won the
league batting title last season Grimes
went to the Cubs by trade, and Hafey
lao AC4AoCA W SAku - rex
carleton and Dizzy Dean may help off,
set the loss of Grimes. Jim Collins, a
substitute first baseman, is filling in for
Hafey.
THE Giants, generally picked to fin-
= ish one-two, will put on the field
well trained, well conditioned and
excellently balanced club. Hughie Critz
apparently has conquered the arm all
ment that took him out Of the game
most Of last season; the outfield has
been improved by the addition Of the
hard-hitting recruit Len Koenecke, and
Hal Schumacher should prove a help
to an already powerful pitching staff.
The Cubs threat would loom even
more dangerous If Rogers Hornsby could
bolster an outfleld that consists chiefly
of HaZen Cuyler. The infield also NAV
be sore spot now that Shortstop ELL
wood English is out for two weeks or
more with a broken finger. The COM
paratively inexperienced Bill Jurges will
substitute, fanked by two youngsters
| Stanley Hack at third and Bill Herman
| at second.
RRooKLYN seems to have great
potentlalltles that may be realized
under Max Carey's guidance. The
Dodgers fate, however, depends upon
the recovery of the pitching staff as well
as the performance of such key
figures as Hack Wilson and Glenn
Wright. Joe Strip and Tony Cucci-
nello, obtained in the big deal with the
Reds, should strengthen the infleld, but
the illness of Del Bissonette, even with
so experienced substitute as George
Kelly on hand, may hurt more than a

None of the other four clubs-Pitts-
burgh, Philadelphia. Cincinnati. Boston
seems to have developed the addi-
tional strength needed to boost them
into the pennant fight, but all should
be vastly improved over last year, par
ticularly the Phillies.
Carey at Brooklyn and George Gibson
at Pittsburgh are the new managers
this year.

GERMANS QUIT
 CROWDED CITIES

Berlin-(UP)-The continuous stream of the German rural popu- lation to the cities during the post war years was reversed into migra- tion to the country during the last two years.
 Thus, according to recent statis- tics on the migration movement of the German population, Berlin, the population of which gained be- tween 4S,500 and 105,000 each year from 1924 until 1929 through mil grafton, lost $500 inhabitants in 1890 and 33,000 in 1931-that is, 0.2 and 0.77 per cent of its ropula- ton, respectively.
 Strangely enough, the town which had the greatest migration loss in 1881 was Heidelberg, de- spite its romantic charm. The number of people moving from that city exceeded that of new dwellers by 4,412--a loss of 4 per scent of the entire population.
 Other cities showing consider able losses are industrial centers of the Ruhr district like Bochum, Gelsenkirchen and Duisberg, with unfavorabls naigration balances of

Another chapter in the Dennis Brennan case has come to light with the filing in superior court to- day of a civil action in which the plaintiff, Mrs Katherine Sharkey, sues the John Hancock Mutual Life. Insurance company for the payment of an accidental death sum in the policy covering the late Mir Brennan's death. The case came into prominence several weeks ago when attempts to break the will left by MT Brennan were made and lengthy court trial was held in the probate court.
 The suit filed today alleges that the company failed to pay the full amount of the policy when it held, back the sum covering the acci- dental death clause. It is alleged in the complaint that MT Brennan's death was caused by fall while he was undergoing treatment at St Mary's hospital for a heart condi- tion and that the fall aggravated the condition to the extent that death resulted.
 It was because of this conten- ton that the body was eXhumed under permission given by Coroner John T. Monzani and an autopsy performed.

FREEDOM PROVED NO BOON TO HIM
Frank Gallitello Surren- ders to Captain of Po-
 lice at T0rringtOn
GOES BACK TO JAIL

One of the four prisoners. Frank Gallitello, 25, of Torrington, who escaped early Thursday morning from the Litchfield county jail, sur rendered himself early to-day to Captain Nicholese Calabrese of the Torrington police department. He was almost exhausted from hunger and fatigue. He confessed to the authorities his part in the attempt ed jail delivery, but denied know ing of the present whereabouts of his companions.
 The last trace the police obtained of the fugitives was the finding of a stolen car near Thomaston. It was loaded with groceries. Three young men were seen abandoning it and taking to the woods. The missing trio are John Woods of Thomaston, whose mother, Mrs Marie Hart is being held for smuggling saw blades into the jail, Thomas Kayne of Milford, and Harry Curtiss of Torrington.
 Gallitello on being admitted to the home of Captain Calabrese and given food, told his story. The steel blades used to saw steel bar on one of the windows of the jail was sent to Wood encased in a banana. He and his companions reached Torringtoh early Thursday morning and he separated from them. He spent the night in the woods and early yesterday morning made his way to Oak street and hid in the garage of friend. He then de- cided to surrender himself.
 A taxicab owned by a Torring- ton resident was found in New Milford and 1t was thought that the missing trio after parting with Galliteo borrowed the machine, but later Deputy Fire Warden Clayton Hotchkiss who resides near Water town was awakened by the noise
 of someone drawing water from the well in his yard. He looked out and discovered three men. He hur- | riedly dressed and went in pursuit | of them, sensing that something
 was wrong. When he fired a shot
 to stop them they abandoned their
 car on the branch road leading to
 the Morris reservoir. In the car was found quantity of provisions.
 It later developed that the First
 National store in Watertown had
 been broken into and that an at-
 tempt had been made to rob Mill
 Ter & Peck's store nearby.

NEW ANGLE IN
Mrs. Sharkey Sues For Accidental
 Insurance Policy
Claims Brothers Death Was Caused By Fall and That j John Hancock Company Has Refused to Pay
 Body Exhunied and Autopsy Performed

The papers allege that the plain tiff was named beneficiary on Aug. 25, 1881 of the life insurance policy issued by the defendant company on the life of her brother. Dennis Brennan. On said date, the com- plaint, ayers, her brother was a patient at St Mary's hospital receiv- ing treatment for heart condi- ton. It is alleged that his condi- tion was not serious enough to cause death or to prevent his liy- ing considerable length of time.
 The suit charges that MT Bren- nan fell and struck the back of his head on the floor of the room he occupied in. the hospital and re- ceived serious injuries which exag- gerated the pre-existing condition and resulted in death. The policy, issued prior to Jan. 1, 1929. contain ed an accidental death clause stat ing that in case of accidental death to the insured, an amount of $1,278 over the face of the policy would be paid. The suit alleges that al- though MT Brennan's death was ac- cidental and that claim for the $1,278 duly made, the company has refused to acknowledge the claim: The plaintiff asks $2,000 damages.
