Absolutely peachy. They come in

phoithboinders now
Colonel" I said, could I have

Certainly" he answered, "Budd,

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

Pacific Coast league standings
looked as familiar as an old shoe
today with Los Angeles riding on
the top and the rest of the clubs
strung out behind like sheep fol-
lowing a bell wether.
Things got that way yesterday
when the Angels came through
with their third victory and the
Mission Reds, who had been shar-
ing the pace-making, faltered.
Emmett Nelson pitched the An
gelinos to their win over Sacra-
mento by a 9-3 score. The sturdy
right handler was nicked for hits
only six times. Sacramento used
only three moundsmen who gave
13 safeties to Manager Jack Leli-
velt's hard hitting champions.
Seattle put on a ninth inning
rally to drop the Missions, 4-3.
Harrington drove in the two runs
which tied the score and Mike
Hunt pushed across the winning
marker. Craghead, taken out for
a pinch hitter in the big inning,
got credit for the win at Hollis
Thurston's expense.
Buddy Ryan of Portland uncov-
cred pitching surprise in Wade,
right handler, who gave Hollywood
only four hits for the Beavers first
win of the year. The score was
10-1. Bongiovanni, Davis and
Blackerby hit homers in the sixth
and Jacobs poled one over the
fence for Hollywood.
The San Francisco seals settled
deeper into the cellar by losing
their third straight. This time
Oakland took Lefty ODoul's men
into camp by .6-5 score. The
Seals got all their runs in the first
two innings and then stood help
lessly by while the Oaks caught up
and passed them in the fifth. Sew
en- pitchers saw service.

NEW YORK, April IL. U.R)-A
lot of chasers have gone under the
bridgework since I heard anything
so all-fired impossible to think
about as the thing I heard about
today when I happened into Jack
Dempsey's chop house.
There were two fellows in there
by the name of Stoopnagle and
Budd. They've got something to do
with the radio.
Well, this Stoopnagle calls me
over to his table and narrates:
why" he says, my good man,
why haven't you a phoithboinder
with you?"
"A what?"
"a phoithboinder," says Colonel
Stoopnagle. Don't you know what
a phoithboinder is? You mean to
stand there and tell me you didn't
know phoithboinders are sweeping
the nation like tame-fire?"
1 had to confess that 1 didn't
know my left phoithboinder from
my right phoithboinder. Where
upon Colonel Stoopnagle set forth
facts and figures in one of the
most amazingly ambiguous speech
es these ears have ever gone out
and garnered.
Phoithboinders, explained tn e
colonel, are product manufac-
tured by himself and Budd. He
had a briefcase packed full of pic
lures of phoithboinders. There was
one showing the colonel walking
down And street with dog?leash
in his hand, but no dog on it.

The London Naval Conference opened
"in blanket Of yellow fog" which
the American delegation considered
symbolic.
Friendships like those Of Andre
Tardieu and Dwight w. Morrow, Mr..
Stimson and Premier Wakatsuki, and
enmities like those Of Sir Eric Drum
mond, secretary general Of the League
of Nations, and Mr.. Gilbert, 1t is sug-
gested, have been factors in the max
ing of history. But amity and fellow
ship, the authors indicated, have
been consistently outweighed by eco
nomic rivalries and political strife
The struggle for money and for power
has defeated the hope Of humanity
for emancipation frcm war.
Roosevelt Reformer.
President Roosevelt, Pearson and
Brown explain, is "a crusading inter-
national reformer," with two i'm
portant competitors for the spotlight
-Mussolini and Hitler. War debts
should be relegated to the sidelines, u
the Chief Executive is supposed tc
have decided, and emphasis should be
directed to "the re-estabhshment OF
trade, reciprocity between nations
the breaking down of tariff walls.
But "he made it clear that he was not
going to yield traditional American
isolation without some quid pro quo,
and the collapse Of his first effort In
behalf of disarmament has made him
wary Of Europe's willingness to COM
promise in the interests Of harmony
The future, the authors conclude
Is dark. Another Armageddon is fore
cast. Leaders may hold to their ideals
Of universal harmony. but "the seeds
of war" have been too deeply
planted"

NEW BOOK BARES
DIPLOMACY OF j. S.
tAmerican Diplomatic Game
by Pearson and Brown
3 Lifts Veil.

Two Washington newspaper men
have written a book on statecraft
which appears destined to kick up
considerable dust.
The literary partners are Drew
Pearson, co-author of Washington
Merry-Go-Rou and Constantine
Brown, foreign affairs writer for The
Star, and the title of their produc-
tion is, "The American Diplomatic
Game"
{ Announced for publication by the
Doubleday, Doran Co. today, it Is re-
ported that a second edition already
Is on the press.
The story Pearson and Brown es-
say to tell is one of tragedy. 1t is, in
effect, the narrative of how the ma
tions of the world united to outlaw
war and then, through the frailties
Of foreign offices, let that opportu-
nifty slip through their hands.
Small Matters Important.
Small matters, the book records,
have had much to do with develop
ments. A fish bone in an officials
throat, q failure of certain wives to
call on certain other wives, rejected
invitation to social gathering, a
rivalry between career and non-career
diplomats, the influence of the pine
apple industry on the mind OF an
undersecretary-these are among the
minor details in the chronicle. The
whole volume is peppered and salted
with anecdotes in Illustration OF the
foibles of official humanity.
Charles G. Dawes, for example, Is
represented as going to Geneva fed
up." Other men, he informed corre-
spondents, "are not telling anything
about what I have been doing because
nobody knows that except myself" ;"
Pearson and Browns comment is: mo
one, not even the State Department,
knew what Dawes was doing. And
there is grave doubt whether he did
himself"
But a sketch of Dawes performing
Is even more devastating. Gradually
League delegates" the writer's say
'Ieft him in his hotel suite in state
of splendid isolation, forcing Dawes
to fall back on the servants of the
Ritz as an audience for his theatricals
These he performed at breakfast by
singing out particular waiter and
staring at him with rapt attention
Finally he would call the waiter to

hand the man a 10-franc note.
This ceremony was repeated every
morning until all the walters in the
dining room, much to their delight
and secret amusement, had benefited
by the Ambassadors largess."
Pearson and Brown are equally
frank about other eminent characters

Frank B. Kellogg, they say. was "ap-
pointed Secretary OF State ch1eny oe-
cause he had been kind to Calvin
Coolidge when that individual, as Vice
President, was a silent and somewhat
snubbed presiding officer Of the United
State Senate; Salmon o. Levinson,
sponsor of the plan for the renunci-
alton of war, was "a rneddling Jewish
evangelist from Chicago; Sir Austen
Chamberlain, architect Of the British
French understanding Of 1928, was an
impressario who regarded foreign af-
fairs as a sacred cult of which he was
the high priest; Henry L. stimson
exhibited "a weird conflict Of pacifist
liberalism with militarist conserva-
tism" as Mr.. Kellogg's successor; JOS

State, "practi.ed diplomacy with his
tongue in his cheek" and william r.

admiration for the japanese"
Ambassador Katsuji Debuchi Is por-
trayed as "a convincing individual'

and ease," and PrentiSs Gilbert, consul
general at Geneva and American rep
resentative at the Council of the
League of Nations, as emerging from
"a more proletarian background" and
possessing IAN nferiority complex"
President Hoover and Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald, Pearson and
Brown agree, came close to an agree
ment for the razing of British fortifi-
cations in the West Indies and an un-
derstanding regarding the freedom Of
the seas, but were undone by their
