The above table (Such as 1t 1S)
should help explain today Man.
ager Joe Cronin'S steps towards
shaking up his team, which steps
were announced late yesterday
when the young pilot decided to
bench infielders Buddy Myer and
OSSie Bluege, and Outfielder John.
ny Stone.
Will Help Boys
The change will probably work
wonders with the team as the
withdrawn trio will be that much
better when they get back into the
game again. Myer, as particular
example, will probably hit like of
old on his return to action, while
Bluege's fielding will be up to past
standard.
The boys, incidentally, took the
announcement yesterday of their
shifts from the lineup to that Of
seats on the bench with calm re-
proach. None resented Cronn's
actions as they realized that some
thing had to be done. even if it
affected them.
All Of which pictures the happy
fact that there's still plenty of
spirit left in the team even though
the going has been pretty tough,
victories have been difficult to
gather, and the pitching, fielding
and hitting has been decidedly off
in, comparison to last years play
when everything" was working in
high gear.
Now those records. They tell
that only one Griff regular has
hit better than 800 since the start
OF the campaign. He is Fred
Schultz, who has a mark today Of
1874. The others have averages
like this:
stone, 1856; Kuhel, PTS; Ma.
nush, .241; Berg, .238: Bluege,
.2O7: Cronin, 100, and Myer, .097.
Easy to tell here why the team
has lost five of its eight games,
huh?
Thomas Leads HurIerS
Then the pitching. Thomas
mark is 1000 as result of two
victories as against no losses.
Crowder'S percentage of 500 is
next-his lone victory having been
that of opening day up in Boston
when he received credit for the
to 5. eleven.inning contest the
GriffS won that day.
And that's all, as with excep-
tionS here and there where this
hurler or that has pitched well in
spots, none have travelled as far
as Ax innings.
Oh well, there's always that sill
yer lining around every dark
cloud. Maybe, that long awaited
turn for the better is near. 1t
can't be far off as the team, as
: a whole, is too good to continue in
Its rut much longer.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Your
agent is hauling the old black
suitcase that Tex Rickard gave
him the Christmas before he
died, out into the Blue Grass
Belt Of Kentucky Saturday
night.
This annual pilgrimage to the
land Of beautiful ladies, fast
horses and homemade ibations,
is the high spot Of the year to
the writer.
There are many pleasant as
eignments in the life Of sports
Scribbler, but none quite like
the Kentucky Derby. That is, if
you like the Derby.
I like those days. And like
the old lady who didn't know
anything about art, but knew
what she liked, that's enough
for me.
So I will be setting forth
on Saturday night for the Paris
Turnpike and the Phoenix
Hotel in Lexington, and Har-
rodsburg with it's breakfast on
real hickory smoked ham, with
red gravy and hot biscuits,
with my partner Col. Phil
Chinn, and frisky yearlings in
deW-drenched pastures, and a
lot Of other things that are
further away from Broadway
than Broadway is from para
disc.
A. Man o. War
I want to see Man O. War
again, because he is II now
and IL is so with a horse.
want to touch glasses with
Marse Matt Winn in that office
Of his at the foot of the press
box steps at the Downs, be-
cause MarSe Matt is even older
than Man o. War.
He is 70-the only living
man who has seen all So Ken

his Derby days are yesterdays.

Is I have always maintained it
is to get up before the midday

Of the night air-to watch the
trainers work their Derby hopes
on the morning prior to the

CLOTH PRICES LOWER

NEW YORK, April 26 (LN.sD.-Prices
for leading constructions in the coarse
yarn cloths market softened appreciably
today as the weakened tone brought on
by the recent slump in raw cotton con-
tinued.
New prices set. however, failed to
attract any great amount of business.
One of the earlier indications of weak
ness was the acceptance of business on
the previous day on quick goods.
Thus June and July shipments were
sold of some styles at prices which had
been turned down for those deliveries
previously. Later in the session bids
for varying deliveries at new prices
were reported where offerings were
made before bids were received.

Lawyers to On Al
In nAntizCrime Series
Opening Saturday

honor of presiding will be rotated.
On Saturday, when Baron Won
Mumm will be the principal guest
and speaker, President Robert F.
CogSwel will turn the chair over
to Vice President Kenneth Park
inSon.
When President F. Regis Noel
appointed a committee, headed by
Walter C. English, called the
Committee on the Integral Bar,
some of the lawyers thought the
expression was q newly coined
one.
They are beginning to change
their minds now. Other bar
groups, including the American
Bar Association, are beginning to
take up a general movement to
"integrate" the bar, and the word
does have a vital meaning.
There is no doubt but that the
bar has been going through a
period of gradual disintegration,
according to leaders of the pro.
fession, and unless the tide is
turned and a period of rejuvena-
tion takes place, the process will
be complete.
Mr.. English has had several
meetings Of his committee, one Of
the most important in the associa-
ton, and his report, when made,
is expected to be a startling one.
It will call for at least a five-year
program of rigid adherence to
strict revolutionary measures to
accomplish its purpose, Mr.. Eng
liSh said.

A Revolving Fund

Moreover, the fund is becoming
a revolving one. At Mr.. Fahey's
press conference, Tuesday, he re-
ferred to the gratifying manner
in which repayments are being
made by direct mail billing-aS
yet no machinery for collecting
has yet been set up.
So it would appear by the time
the Administrations trial bal
looms" in the new construction
stratosphere, have had their
flight, plans for new construction
financing will be adequate, and
there will be ample funds to carry
out whatever program is contem-
plated. ii
It will take just a little more pa
tience on the part of the hungry

BETTER GOLF
WEATHER IS
PROSPECT

With the wind having died
down and warmer weather in
sight, lower scores are expected
to- result in today's final quail
flying rounds Of the Belle Haven
Country Clubs invitation golf
tournament.
The low score of 80, posted by
Sidney Sherwood, of the host
club, and Craig Mckee, Of
Indian Spring, will hardly sur
vive today's shooting, especially
with Harry Pitt and Roger
Peacock swinging tn cir heavy
pieces into action and favored by
better weather.
Contestants in yesterdays quail
flying rounds battled futilely
against the elements, but the wind
and chilly weather was too much.
Not one of the entire field approx
mated closer than 10 shots Of par.
Carries Shots Astray
The biting winds that blew
across the course from the Po-
tomac River carried shots aStray
and Skyrocketed the scores. Many
players were well bundled up with
sweaters and heavy clothes as they
stepped out to the first tee and
others, who came unprepared for
such weather conditions, shivered.
Sherwood appeared to alone
hold the distinction of leading the
first days qualifying round until
late in the afternoon, when Nc
Kee came along with an 81 to
share the honor with Sharwood.
At that, Mckee was compelled to
cover the second nine in 38, two
over par, to tie Sherwood. Nc
KEGS 38 was also the low nine for
the day.
Runswick Is Low Net
A stroke to the rear of Shar-
wood and Mckee was Ted Rutley,
Of Beaver Dam. Charlie Runs
wick, the methodical golfer from
Indian Spring, came next with "a.
Brunswick also leads in the prize
for the low net score with II.
The schedule of match play
rounds has been re-arranged. There
will be only one round tomorrow
for all flights with the defeated
eights in the third, fourth and
fifth flights playing a round in
the afternoon. Two match play
rounds will be played Saturday
with the finals to be held on Sun
day.
Entrants in the Posts golf
tournament for women were prac-
ticing over the Chevy Chase
course today. The tourney be-
gins Monday at Chevy Chase
with an 18.hole qualifying round

F. Regis Noel, president Of the

that lawyers, who are vitality con-r
cerned with the completion OF
