CRON|N PLANS
INTENSIVE
DRILLS
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

o40S<AA, M4OoAS NdASA4 N-4V
was a long, dreary and much
needed rain the good people Of
Biloxi had yesterday, but to the
Griffmen, here for their annual
spring training grind, it was o
pain in the neck because most
important practice session had to
be postponed.
However the silver lining was
around that cloud today and as
result Manager Joe Cronin and
his men looked forward to better
days throughout the remainder of
the week, days that will put them
in the best of condition for those
all important games with the
Atlanta Crackers over Saturday
and Sunday.
While most of the players
lounged around the hotel playing
cards, fooling with the radio, or
sleeping before the cozy fire blaz-
ing in the lobby, it was travelling
day for two of Manager Cronin's
veterans-Heine Manush and
Dave Harris.
Ready to Play
The pair ushered themselves in
about o'clock and with much
gusto announced that they were
ready to plav ball-iuSt come
the sun. Both looked in great
shape, Harris particularly, as
that individual tipped the scales
at a mere 1877 = seven pounds
lighter than he was at any time
last season.
Manager Cronin's men are all
present and accounted for now
and the practice sessions, begin
ming today, were expected to re-
sound with more activity than
ever.
That the batting drills will be
taken with much seriousness this
year can be cleaned from the
way the players inspected the
new shipment of bats which ar
rived at the hotel yesterday morn
ing. The boys had a great time
selecting the willows they ex-
pected to use during the coming
season and it was really a shame
that the weather man had to
step in and keep them from
welding 'em.
Getting back to Manush and
Harris, the pair of outfielders
hoped upon hope that they would
experience successful campaigns
again as was their fortune In
1882. Manush led the Griffmen
at the plate last year with an
average Of .342, while Harris,
used mostly in pinch hitting roles,
socked to the tune Ct 1888.
Manush In Left
Although Goslin is around, Ma
nush will be placed in his &C
customed left field position when
Manager Cronin lines up his team
for the first time Saturday. Cos.
lin will be in right field-a posi-
ton he held down when he first
joined the Griffmen way back in
1921. The arrangement should
work very well, first because Ma
nush doesn't mind playing the
sun field, and secondly, because
Goose'S arm will come in un-
usually handy holding runners on
first base after safe base hits have
been shot in his direction.
An attack of lumbago has been
keeping President Clark Griffith
mighty low during the past few
days. BY the way, however, the
prexy is much better now and is
expected to be as active as ever
again-if that much-heralded Bi-
loxi sunshine will only unloosen
itself and shine for more than
one day at a time.

rather ancient. Telephone and auto
mobile accomplish much of what was
undertaken by pen and ink few
years back. Yet, as other forms of
letter writing decline, the love letter
increases. 1t has prevailed among
the young wherever there has been
separation.
Throughout the greater part of hui
man history young men seldom wrote
to young women, therefore the young
women had few chances to reply.
Older folk took charge of the mar
rage question. Such matters were
arranged and, when the alliance had
been approved, the young people
were expected to go through with It
dutifully. Only brief and formal
courtship was possible before the
wedding. There had been no time
for writing, which was perhaps
just as well, as the young woman
probably could not write and the
young man was not much better edu-
Gated.
1t was the exceptions who gave
the foundation for romance. A youth,
whose schooling had not been en-
tirely neglected, might catch a
glimpse of a maiden and decide that
she was the only one in the world.
If her father disapproved of their
meeting there was an inducement
for an interchange of brief notes
with the help of accommodating GO
betweens. Such letters as there were
could hardly have been called
lengthy. There was so little to say
except II love you. "-"Unele Dud-

Before the committee Stanley Bruce

He presented the thesis that it was
up to the industrial countries of the
world to stop trying to be agricul-

from agricultural countries in ex.

the issue, and the drys hope to win
in the latter two, figuring that thus
the question will be put over until
next year, when they think their

MEDICATION Of the Illinois water
~ way and the lakes to the gulf wa
ter route was the occasion of spectacu-
lar ceremonies In Chicago near the
mouth of the river. Secretary of War
George II. Dern flew there by airplane
to make an address, and he was ac-
companied by Speaker Henry 4. Raj
ney and Maj.-Gen. Lyle Brown, chief
of the army engineers. Scores of other
prominent persons took part in the do
ings. One of the features of the day
was the arrival of tow of Mississip-
pi river barges carrying the first com
mereial cargo over the lakes to gulf
route from New Orleans to Chicago.
1t was escorted by the official yacht
Of the port of New Orleans and other

trade barriers against each other, to
remove embargoes, quotas, and other
arbitrary restrictions, and to scale
down tariffs by reciprocal agreements.
The delegation then moved the
adoption of another resolution COM
hitting the nations to cooperative ac-
ton in expanding credit and in gov
eminent expenditures on public works
for the purpose of reviving industry.
Meanwhile Prof Raymond Moley,
assistant secretary of state, was on
his way to London for a weeks stay,
having been sent hurriedly by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to act as a sort of
liaison officer between the delegation
and the President.
While the Americans were framing
their statement the French were fun
ing and threatening to bring about ad-
journment of the conference, and
Prime Minister Macdonald was WIS.,
IDLY worried. But James NJ. Cox,
chairman of the monetary committee,
talked privately with George Bonnet,
French minister of finance, and ex-
planned Mr.. Roosevelt's position on
the sterilization question in detail.
He outlined the Roosevelt imitation
program, told how cheapening the
value of the dollar was bringing about
rise of commodity prices and paint
ed glowing picture of reviving pros
perity at home. SO the French dele
gates consented not to disrupt the
conference just yet, anyhow.
Secretary of State Hull, it was ru-
mored, intended to return to the United
States soon after the arrival of Moley.
He refused to confirm or deny this re.
port, and he also declined to express
pessimism concerning the success of
the conference. He had long private
Ataix with King George but of course
Icould not reveal what was said.
Nj Hull took the occasion to deny
reports that the American delegation
was badly split on the course to pursue
in the conference. 1t had been re-
ported that Senator Couzens of Michi-

cation, asserting that the Americans
must decide whether to stand for
nationalistic program, represented by
the powers conferred on President
Roosevelt by congress, or by an inter-
nationalistic program, represented by
the aims of the conference.
Mr.. Hull said he could see no incon-
sistency. The domestic programs of
recovery from depression in the United
States and other nations, as he viewed
it, were to be reinforced by an inter-
national program to be adopted at this
conference.

move toward placing itself under gov
