TEAMS MEET.
OPPOSITION
ON TOUR
By GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May SITS
been predicted that this years
pennant scramble in the Ameri.
can League promises to be one OF
the most heated in seasons. So
far this has been true. The
Yankees, with the exception of
their early squirt, haven't been
running away with honors.
The Philadelphia AS haven't
been factors, the Boston Red sox
have played impresSively, while
the Cleveland Indians and Chi
cago White Sox have sustained
pace that endangers the EaSts
monopoly on the first three
places.
The Griffmen? Oh, yes, the
Griffmen have done pretty we'll
by themselves to date, but along
with their success they've found
it extremely hard to win.
Heated Race Promised
This situation promises to
keep the race a most heated
affair and make the final winner
matter of doubt until the last
few weeks of the season.
Getting back to the Griffs,
they've won two games and lost
two on this current Western trip
to date. Both contests were
dropped because of loose pitch
ing. Being in st. Louis at the
present hour, the Griffmen hope
to make amends by grabbing
three of the four games with the
Browns.
Manager Cronin's team will not
face the Browns with the fear of
the old st. Louis jinx. Lefty
Walter Stewart is now a member
of "our" cast as well as Goose
GoSlin and Fred Schultz, all of
whom were poison to the Griffs
on every occasion last year. Be-
sides the Griff roster is a fight
ing collection of players out to
battle for every game regardless
of the opposition.
Myer Stays in Hospital
Buddy Myer. scrappy little sec
ond baSeman, who was hit on the
head and knocked unconscious by
Pitcher WhitloW Wyatt at Detroit
Saturday, was left behind as the
team departed for st. Louis after
yesterdays game.
A slight conclusion was found
to be Buddy's trouble as per the
X-ray pictures and it was Presi-
dent Clark Griffith's advice to
Manager Joe Cronin that Myer
be kept at the Providence Hos
pital in Detroit until he fully re-
covered from the effects of his
accidental injury. Buddy will re-
join his mates in Chicago. when
he will have been fully rested.

Bradley has his immense and
picturesque Idle Hour Farm, we
were speaking with a mem
Der of the State board of
pardons, and he declared that
the convicts in the various State
coolers had been praying this
year, as in others, for Colonel
Bradley to win.
You see, Colonel Bradley
never keeps any of his Derby
winnings, but rather Scatters
it with a very free hand among
the families of law offenders
and among myriad Kentucky
charitable institutions
He did so with his Derby
and Preakness earnings last
year, as he has done in other
years, and will do again this.
At the Idle Hour Farm there
are upwards of 80 employees.
counting trainers, rubbers, exer-
else boys, flunkies and handy
lads, and not a head of 'em is
there but will get at least a
nice, shiny $40 gold piece out
of Brokers Tips victory. The
trainer will probably get about
$4,000 and the jockey $4,000.
For Colonel Bradley himself
doesn't need any more of this
worlds goods than he has
already accumulated. He'd just
have to pay income tax on it
if he didn't give it away, any,
way,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1933-05-08

Meanwhile, in the very ring
where this scrap will take place,
Sarron today did just enough
work under the watchful eye of
hi7 manager, Jimmy Erwin, to be
supple for the actual encounter
about $50 tomorrow night. The
boys will weigh in tomorrow at 2
O'Clock at the Riggs Bath, and
each is expected to be close to
the featherweight mark Of 1875
pounds.
An injury to Kid Smith has
made it necessary for him to
withdraw from his preliminary
with Bobby Cleary, a stablemate
of Tomm Paul's, so Matchmaker
frankie Mann has substituted
Doug Sweatnam in Smiths place.
Nick Antonelli and Roddy Da-
Wis, both of whom have given
Portner's fans many thrill this
season, are matched in the semi
windup, their route being eight
rounds. Carey Wright and
Johnny DeNarco will open the
show,

Not a Wicked Man

In addition to the spacious
and magnificent Idle Hour
Farm, he is the proprietor of
gambling casino nearby Palm
Beach, where the vulgarly rich
go every winter to outgame the
house, Now, to some that may
make the Colonel a very wicked
man, but those wealthy folks
are just the type that insists on
losing their money to someone,
and if they didn't lose it with
Colonel Bradley, they in all like
lihood would drop it to some
body who wouldn't turn around
and give it to people who needed
it more than they.
So it is easy to see that,
despite his den of iniquity in
Palm Beach, Colonel Bradley is
not an ungodly man, but, on the
other hand, he is a very good
man. You may call him a sheep
dressed in VOLTS clothing, inso-
far as his casino is concerned.
and if you did you wouldn't be
very far wrong; but he diScards
his masquerade when it comes
to home folks in Kentucky.
Suffice it to say, the man
lives right. If he didn't, how
could he come to be the first
man ever to breed four Derby
winners and have all of those
convicts getting down on their
knees on those cold, hard prison
floors every night, praying for
the Colonel to win that thar
Dahrby?

THOUSANDS of specta-
tors who saw Jockey Meade
outride Jockey Fisher are
still in doubt as to whether
the best horse won, but
there is no question the
best Jockey did. The
jockeys and horses meet
again in the Preakness at
Pimlico Saturday. Charges
of unfair tactics were be-
ing exchanged today be-
tween jockeys and stables
and the lower picture here
with proves conclusively
that at least Jockey Fisher
didn't have both hands to
his own task. Above is a
general view of the finish
just as Head Play and
Brokers' Tip were fight
ing it out across the line.
Great credit is due Don
Meade, who brough t
Brokers' Tip from elev-
enth in a field of 13 at
the h a If = lie post to
ninth at three-quarters; to
third at the mile, third in
the stretch and first right
on the wire, giving Bradley
his fourth Derby winner
since 1921.

John Gorch, once exoperated in

today in connection with crimes
in Philadelphia and New Jersey.
He was wanted in Philadelphia
for a $4,000 real estate Swindle
involving diamond rings, and in
New Jersey on a charge of i'm
personating an officer. His "pal," "
Charles Skolky, is serving a three
year term, in New Jersey in con-
nection with the impersonation.
Philadelphia police had dis
patched detective here, and New
Jersey police sent word they would
advise later as to whether they
would attempt extradition.
Gorch, who formerly lived in
Hopewell, NJ j., had been ques-

BILE, Graf ZEPPELIN, swung lazily
at its mooring mast today after
completing the second leg of its

buco, Brazil.
Hardly diStinguishable from
the heavy gray mists that en-
veloped it, the famous airship,

and so successful Atlantic cross
ings, roared out of the tropic
seas at a. m. to receive a tu-

It was scheduled to continue
the flight to it's American deSti-

Among the passengers was a 10
month-old baby, travelling with its
mother from Germany to the fair

Hugo Eckener, world renowned
commander of the Graf, was at
the controls as the huge ship was
maneuvered to a landing.
Mystery surrounded the elab-
crate precautions taken to pro-
tect the Graf. Telegraphic orders
from Gov. Dave Sholtz placed the
landing field under heavy police
guard.
Carrying sufficient fuel and
supplies to complete it's flight to
Chicago, the Graf was to take on
only one item here-a quart of
milk for the baby.

William NuckleS Doak, Secretary
of Labor in the Hoover Cabinet
and for many years one of the
nations outstanding labor leaders,
died today at his home in Arling-
ton county, Virginia, a few miles
from Washington.
Mr.. Doak, who was 81, had been
confined to his home for several
weeks following a heart attack,
but doctors had called his condi-
ton improving.
Sent to Washington as legisla-

hood of Railroad Trainmen, Mr..
Doak was named to the Cabinet
by President Hoover In November,
1890, to succeed James j. Davis,
who resigned following his election
as Senator from Pennsylvania.
Appointment Fought
His appointment was bitterly
fought by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which demanded
that the Secretary be member
of that organization. The rail-
road brotherhood, which Mr..
Doak represented, was not a
member of the Federation.
President William Green, Of
the Federation, charged that

The code, which applies to the

chandise stores, was signed late
last night by President Roosevelt
in order that it would become ef-
fective before November l. It
goes into effect next Monday.
Checks Price Cutting

REJECTS.
DRYS' APPEAL .
By International News Service

BY International News Service
The Supreme Court today re-
moved a threat to the repeal Of
the Eighteenth Amendment when
it refused to review a Missouri
case in which constitutionality Of
the method of repeal adopted by
Congress was attacked.
While the action Of the court
does not bar future dry legal at
tacks on repeal, it ended the only
chance for an early decision.
The case originated when P. A.
Tate sought a writ of mandamus
from Judge Sewer, of Cole county
Missouri, to force the Secretary
of State to accept petitions for
q referendum on the legislative
act for a vote on repeal. Both
Judge Sewer and the Missouri
Supreme Court denied the petit
ton.
Through his attorney, Gus o.
Nations, Tate contended in the
high court that the method OF
submitting the repeal question to
State Constitutional conventions
was unconstitutional.
The Missouri Supreme Court,
he contended, erred in holding
that the legislature acted as an
agent of the Federal Government
and therefore the Missouri law
for a referendum on legislative
acts did not apply.
