They set up a seasons scoring

Every Giant except Lefty Clark, the

rumors persist and crop up from many

rumors persist and crop up from many
and varied points.
In wire to the writer Eddie Collins
denies the report that Judge is being
considered to fill Martyrs shoes. He
states that the Boston club Is very well
satisfied with Martyrs work and that
Judge was hired to give the boys lift
at first base.
Judge is upset over the rumors. rightly
claiming that they put him ION the
spot" and may make it annoying for
him before the season ends. Relations
between Marty and Judge are splendid,
the boys on the inside say, despite the
understanding that McManuS was not
consulted by Collins when Joe was
placed on the Yawkey pay roll.
Dismissing the popular young
Irish leader at this time would be
a tough task. Boston fans are for
him, to begin with, and that Is
enough to make any owner move
carefully. And, again, the play
ers like him. Marty is liberal
with his boys, and they like that,
too. For instance. he sees no rea-
son why they cannot toss down
few bottles of trio Of two points
If they care to.
That they play ball under that
system is attested by the standings
all arguments by prohibitionists and
straight-laced club owners to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
There are not few three point-two
imbiberS on the league-leading Sena-
tors, despite Uncle Clarks attitude
toward the brew. And the New York
club hops off the wagon whenever it Is
felt that good, old-fashioned evening
off will take the boys minds of the loss
OF few games.
Marty has driven his team into win
ming by allowing the boys to do their
own thinking at play time. So talk
Of replacing him does not sit well in
the locker room.
DUT Joe McCarthy's liberality
d with his players is not win
ming him ball games, nor
bringing together the warning fac
tons on the club. A disclosure of
what is tranSpiring on the inside
of the Yankee club, it is rumored,
would make headline reading.
Sloppy fielding, puny batting at criti-
cal times and a general air Of liStless-
ness on the part of the whole Yank
club Is caused by something more than
bottle or two of three-point.
1t has been intimdted that the
YdnkS hare Sho1Cn the lack OF both
mental and physical courage on the

on the slippery chute. They have been

Giants, Cubs and Cardinals were

refused to accept this verdict. This

a grand jury had indicted him and
his brother, Cyril, Al, on charges
of kidnapping ten-year-old Peggy

Judge Edward F. Hanify set
June II as the date for the trial
of the two men. They are held in
lieu of 100000 bail each.
Ranting in his cell, Kenneth re-
peated an assertion which ne has
at least once repudiated that a
third man was involved IN the
case and that ne feared what tins
man might do to his wife. He
made this statement to newspaper
men before his arraignment at
Provincetown but repudiated 1t
five minutes later under question

The British government Is eX-
pected to contact the French soon
in an effort to ascertain whether
united front can be arranged in
the forthcoming war debts talks
at LONDON, it was learned reliab-
ly by the United Press at Paris
last night.
The British have given no Of
ficial hint to Premier Edouard
Daladier on what decision as to
payment has been reached by
London, the United Press was in
formed. However, it was reliably
reported in French circles that
England is prepared to pay the
June Is installment to the Uni
ted States, using her option to
meet the obligation in silver. This
would increase the price of silver,
it was pointed out, and help to
stimulate purchasing power in
"silver countries" notably China.
If England pays, however, she
would make Frances position
more embarrassing in the event
France again defaults the annu-
ity. The British would unques-
tionably profit by more favor
able war debts settlement after
such a move, the French fear.
The British political strategy
was regarded in some quarters AS
more far-sighted than the French
governments. Premier Daladier
and his ministers fear to risk de-
feat in parliament by pushing
for approval Of the debt pay
ment, although realizing if paid,
France would be certain to Sc
cure an immense benefit through
enhanced prestige in the United
States and elsewhere abroad.
The British government will at

Charges Of using the mails to de-
fraud against Lawrence j. Pace,
of Hendersonville, former vice

court here this morning when
District Attorney Frank Patton

The district attorney stated to
Federal Judge f. Yates Webb
that after investigation it had

no evidence to substantiate the
charge. Attorney General Homer
Cummings had also investigated
the case, Mr.. Patton said, and had
advised a mol pros.
Mr.. Pace was indicted by 4

September on charges of using
the mails to defraud in connec-
ton with the failure of the Cen

In a statement today, Mr.. Pace
declared that in cases where ne
was alleged to have drawn checks
with funds in the bank, it was his
opinion that these funds had been
transferred by the bank and that
he was not aware that there were
no funds in the bank.
Mr.. Pace up to two years ago
was a resident Of Hendersonville,
where he had developed from a
very modest beginning a large

ping business. Mr.. Pace was the
