A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
A Studied Defense
OF Joseph Smith

America has produced few more
amazing characters than Joseph
Smith, founder of the Norman
church, He emerged from an Cd.
scure backwards village. wrote q
complex theological book while IN
his twenties, died violent deatn
before he had passed middle age,
and left behind him church whicn
now has a century OF grawth ana
DEVELOPMENT to its credit; and the
average American knows little
more about him than IL he had
lived in China.
A good biography of the man is
badly needed; and IL Joseph
smith: An American Prophet" by
John Henry Evans, isn't quite what
IL decided, II Is at least studious
adm sympathetic outline Of the man
and his work.
Mr. Evans seems to have gone to
some pains to ferret out the Facts
about Smiths early life. He traces
him through his bayhood at Pal
myra, N. Y, through the years
when he was foundin his church,
through the move to Ohio, the ad-
venture In Missouri and the ar
rical in Illinois. UP to the murder
that FINELY removed him from the
scene.
Then he examines his theology,
his character, his message; and ne
insists that Smith was neither q
faker nor self-deluded. The man
was honest, intelligent. possessed
with O mystic fire, says Mr. Evans
he believed in his devin inspira-
ton and he was able to make otn-
ers believe in It..
Many readers, l suspect, wili teel
that Mr. Evans Is too enthusiastic
in his defense. A tribe more OF
skepticism might have produced
more balanced book. Butt It's worth
reading. anyway.

AS REPEAL GOES.
(Hartford Courant)


Eight states, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin. Rhode Island, New Jersey,
New York. Wyoming, Delaware
and Nevada, have now voted over
whelmingly in favor Of repeating
the eighteenth amendment. This
month eight other states, Illinois
ON the 9Th, Indiana on the 9Th,
Massachusetts on the 18th, Con-
necticut. New Hampshire and
Iowa on the goth and California
and West Virginia on the 9th will
elect delegates to conventions, and
1t seems highly probable that In
each instance q large majority Of
the delegates chosen will be COM
mitted to repeal. II this group Of
states. including at least three
where prohibition sentiment Is
supposed to be well developed, go
wet there would seem to be no
question as to the eventual outcome
OF the repeal movement.
Z The drys are stalking a great deal
on Indiana, rather. more X anything
than on Iowa, and much more
than on New Hampshire, all Of
which they have regarded as espe-
cially favorable to the compulsory
abstinence idea. II they can win
Indiana they figure that they may
possibly be able to reverse the tide
that has beengso steadily setting in
against them. The result in that
state will therefore be watched
with unusual interest.

willing to accept the inevitable and

We must admit that we were surprised at
the abrupt manner in which the services of
William T. Tilden. former national tennis
champion, were rejected by Bernon S. Prem
tice, Davis Cup captain. Tilden offered to
help train the American players preparing
for the European zone finals. We can't think
of anybody who is better qualified than Til
den to do such work. His gracious offer
could certainly have been accepted even if
the American team wouldn't have much OPP
portunity to play with the former champion.

BY HENRY McLENIORE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 13.-Reported
to be completely recovered from
yesterdays Slight fever, Col. E. R.
Bradley's magnificent brown colt,
Brokers Tip, was ready today to
settle one of the turf's Stormiest
disputes by a track duel with Mrs.
Silas B. Mason's Head Play in the
43rd running of the $4,000 Freak
ness at Pimlico.
Interest was centered in their per-
formances because of their hair
line finish in last Saturdays Ken
lucky derby, when their jockeys en-
gagged in saddle brawl. Nine more
of the best three year olds in train
ing were overnight entries for the
mile and three-siXteenthS test over
the historic hilltop course.
Head Play ruled the to fav-
orite to humble the Bradley mount
today, although Brokers Tip nosed
him out by three inches over the
longer derby distance.
Despite the possibility of show
ers more than 10000 fans were eX-
pected to witness the renewal of
Maryland's richest stake. The en-
thusiasm of the army of pleasure
seekers and turf followers gathered
here last night indicated heavy wa
gering. They were disturbed by a
rumor that Brokers Tip was a
doubtful starter, but Trainer Bill
Hurley came through with quick
assurance that he was positive"
to start.
Hurley said he was confident the
Bradley speedster would join that
select group of three horses which
have won both the derby and
Preakness, Sir Barton, Gallant Fox
and Burgoo King.
w. R. Goes LadySman was high
ly regarded, despite his disappoint-
ing derby performance. Increased
backing was expected to shorten the
to l quotation by post time, 5 p.
m, EST. Other entries which ran
in the derby are Lee Rosenberg'S
Kerry Patch, w. R. Goes Pompon-
ius, and the Brockmeade stables
Inlander.
The five newcomers competing
with the six derbyites are Mrs. j.
H. Whitney's Poppyman, j. E.
Hughes Silent Shot, w. r. Goes
Pompoleon, H. c. Phipps' De VAL
era and the Wheatley stables Uto-
plan. The last named pair were in
as an entry. Both were trained by
Jim Fitzsimmons.
Pompoleon, Silent Shot and Uto-
plan were the most doubtful start
ers, expected to enter only if the
track was muddy.
Because of unfavorable weather
conditions, Col. Bradley cancelled
plans to come here to see Brokers
Tip run.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

Dick Ward, Young Los Angeles
rookie, was credited today with the
best pitching per formance Of the
Coast league season to date.
Only a light infield tap that Emil
Mailho beat out as a hit, prevent
ed him from entering baseball's
hall of fame. That tap which was
converted into a run, was the only
thing resembling a hit Oakland
could extract from the young hurl-
er yesterday. The Acorns lost to
l, and Los Angeles marched to
within a half game of first place
Oakland batsmen were helpless
before Wards slantS. Five of them
gained first base on walks but they
could not advance to within rifle
shot of home plate. Mailho beat
out his hit to Mohler in the fourth
and scored on a passed ball, an
outfield fly, and fielder's choice.
Ward struck out five men.
Both Sacramento and Hollywood
lost ground in their even struggle
for the lead by going down to de-
feat. Emboldened by two victories
out of three tries, the San Francisco
Seals struck off another triumph
over Sacramento last night to the
tune of 9 to 4. Vinci was pounded
for 13 hits. The seals polished off
their performance in the ninth by
scoring four runs. 1t was Curt Da-
Wis second straight win.
Hollywood, after being victorious
three straight days was finally
routed by Portland, 8 to l. The vet
eran Tom Sheehan was chased from
the mound under shower of 13
hits, and Costa, his successor, was
nicked for three more.
The Mission Reds made it two
out of three from Seattle by win
ming 4 to 2. Caster brought about
his own defeat by donating three
runs on errors and a wild pitch.
Otherwise he pitched well, collect
ing eight strikeoutS and limiting
the Reds to eight hits. T. Fillette
was touched for II hits, three of
which were garnered by Summa.
