 The Cardinals look to Ray Har- rell, Red Copeland, Ed Heusser, and Dick Ward to give the Deans some help, and Terry Moore has supplanted Ernie Orsatti in cen ter field.

 Boston's Red Sox had 15 raw hands at Sarasota, and fetched a half dozen north, only three of whom are likely to stay. Those are First Baseman Babe Dahl- gren, Outfielder Mel Armada, and Johnny Merena, left hand pitcher.
 Chicago's c Il D 8 experimented with 13, have retained 10 to date, and have five who promise to keep breaking into box scores. Charley Grimm intends to give young Phil Cavarretta every opportunity to make 0 go of it at first base. Roy Henshaw, a left-hand pitcher, has been pleasant surprise, Frank Demaree is back as a reserve out fielder, and Jimmy O'Dea and Wal ter Stephenson are to understudy the husky backstop, Gabby Hart nett

 Mir Pate is also of the opinion that speed, speed and more speed is the way to whip Perry. "He doesn't like to be crowded. He likes a bit of time before mak- ing shot,
 That's not true. Perry's whole game is based on speed. He's never so deadly as against an opponent who sets blazing tempo. The chief reason for his success is his ability to play the ball on the rise. Slow balls are just what he doesnt like. Sidney Woods only success against Perry at Wimbledon and in the cup matches last year was achieved when he switched from a driving game to soft shots that bounded high into the air and slowed down Perry's attack.
 But perhaps I shouldn't be talk ing like this--questioning the judgment of an experienced man like MT Walter De Lacey Pate. For after all, he became an expert by playing, while I qualified as ten his expert by the simple process or losing my hat.

New York, April 25.-Of 196 re- cruits who went to southern and California training camps with major league clubs this spring, 113, or almost 5S per cent, survived ex- hibition game eliminations. Indications are that S5, or more than 43 per cent of the total number that ventured forth, still will be among those present on June 15, when the entries are required to cut rosters to 23. If this proves anything at all, it is that the younger ball gamer of today generally is not what he used to be, and that in many cases athletes of only ordinary ability now crash the big show without much difficulty.
 Chicago's White Sox led both wheels in carting candidates to the conditioning grounds.
 A score of yearlings reported to Jimmy Dykes at Pasadena. Nine are still on hand, five of whom may contribute something toward movement calculated to hoist the South Side array out of the cellar. They are Outfielder Vernon Washington and Pitchers Lloyd Kennedy, Johnny White head, Babe Phelps, and Joe Vance.
 Cincinnati and Brooklyn each took 17 rockies south. Each con- tinues to carry II, which is exact ly the number who are likely to stick the number who are likely to stick around with the Reds, the management of which at the out set decided to rebuild, no matter how painful.
 Charley Dressen uncovered three fine looking young pitchers in Gene Schott, Ray Davis, and Junie Barnes, and believes that the stout and more experienced Don Bren- nan will be of service. Gilly Camp bell is expected to do much of the catching, with Henry Erickson as- sisting the holdover, Schnozzle Lombardi, with what is left.
 Only leg injury which made First Baseman Johnny Mize questionable bargain at $55,000 prevented the Cincinnati club from swinging into action with 8 com- plete infield of peagreens.
 The Reds may be better off as 1t is, with the veteran Jim Bottomley steadying the other three: Alex Kampouris, Billy Myers, and Lew Riggs. Ival Goodman, a freshman, is the regular right fielder. with Harlin Pool, another, the fourth man.
 Brooklyn Desperate
 For Pitching Talent
 A half dozen aret be given thorough going-ovcr by the Dod- gers. Johnny Babich and the southpaws. Frank Lamanske and Bob Logan, and 19-year-old New York high school kid, Harry Eisen- stat.s will get every opportunity, for Casey Stengel Is desperately in need of someone to lend Van Lingle Mungo, Ray Benge and Emil Leon- ard hand.
 Frenchy Bordagaray backs up good -natured boasts in the out field. and Bobby Refs is handy as an extra infielder.
 PhiladelpRia's American entry tried out 16 rocks. Six returned north, and five are likely to remain Tn shipping several of his young men, Connie Mack gave as his req son the fact that the AAAAAAAA's intended to shoot for the pennant Alex Hooks replacing the great Jimmy Foxx at first base, shoul- ders the most responsibility. If the fancy fielder from Tulsa stands up, and the White Elephants get any kind of pitching from Charley Lieber and George Caster, a pair from the coast, and Whitey Will sherc, an Indiana University south paw the rest of the field will know

 Long stopped at the desk of Sen. Gerald P. Nye, republican, North Dakota, for a few moments con" yersation as spectators craned their necks.
 Long sauntered down the center aisle, giving the galleries ample time to note his trim, doupIe- breasted suit, lavender shirt and gaudy necktie.

 At 12:11 p. m., Long arose ad asked for recognition.
 "Last week gave notice through another senator that l wanted to speak on a question or personal privilege" he said.
 ''Subsequent to that time an agreement for limitation of debate on the Bankhead tenant-aid bill was reached.
 II would like to know before ' begin whether I will be bound by that rule."
 Ut is the opinion of the chair that you would" Garner said.
 "Then I will take my forty min utes now" Long answered. :.
 My state has withstood good many scourages and floods" he continued, "and there have been dust storms in the west. But this is a new event. It is unlike the lo- cust plague, which Is limited to seven years, and it threatens us with eternal damnatlor."
 Defends His Board
 Long yeered from his thrusts at the administration to defend the state advisory board which the re- lief officials have refused to recog- nize for relief distribution in Louisiana.
 The board, he said, was created in 1923.
 He pointed to the membership and record of the board which, he said, had built roads throughout the state at q cost of $26,000 q mile, a figure he said was un. equalled.
 The administration instead of using this board called in "the ele- ment that spent $61 100000 of state funds "and built no roads prior to the Long coup, he charg- ed.
 Called In Swindlers
 "They have called in lot of swindlers who sold bad stocks from coast to coast" he said.
 Spectators stood three and four deep in all the galleries and all the seats were occupied.
 Chairs and divans in the rear of the senate chamber were occupied by congressman who came to sec the excitement.

 Lonergan Was There
 Long's immediate audience con- sisted of Senators Henry Ashurst, democrat, Arizona; Augustine Lon- ergan, democrat, Connecticut, and Hiram w. Johnson, republican, California.
 Long talked constantly, respite mumbied protests from Johnson.
 Lonergan concealed his feelings behind the lather.
 Ashurst asked Long why he didn't write book about Ns po- litical experiences.
 T did write one; didn't you read it?" asked Long.
 That was too subjective" Ashurst said. You ought to be ob- jective; write as if it were about someone else."
 Right now I want to tell 'em what to wear instead of how to run the country" Long said.
 Someone brought up the subject of Ickes and Hopkins.

 Identification Made
 The Identification was made after lengthy investigation by Detectives William Foley and Edward McEl- ligott, following early police inves- tigation by Lieut. Detective Joseph Stevens and Lieut.

Como resultado Immediate de la trascendental dec'a-
racion del general Gales, Sc cristalizo la Ensenanza So
ciaista, no obstante las protestas de la juyentud, que hoy
queda amurallada tras los bastiones de la Uniyersidad
Nacional Autonoma. En- esa forma Sc emprendio la ardua
y ~peigrosa tarea de acaparar la conciencia pdbica, por-
que va hemos yisto que Gales Y sus socios en- ell P.N.R, no
estan conformes con acaparar las riquezas del pals a ira
yes de sus poderosos monopolios, sine que tambien quie-
rem echarse al bo'silo la conciencia nacional.

las corrientes directrices que Sc quiera imprimirles, han
puesto ss ojos en- elias, y como primer paso para su con-
quista, han ideado este Congreso de Ninos Proletarios
que bien mereciera ell desprecio de una carcajada, 81 no

La seeretarfa de Education Pdblica de Mexico, Sc
gun ell anuncio Official que ha hecho, esta preparando IN
Congreso de Ninos Proletarios, que habra de celebrarse
en- la capital mexicana ell II de octubre proximo. Los ira
bajos formales para lleyar a cabo ell Congreso seran mi
ciados ell da primero de MARIO, agrega la Secretarfa, y
este departamento cree que no menos de diez mil ninos
asistiran a la reunion, en- la que, como es de suponerse,
seran tratados trascendentales problemas.
81 no fuera porque los actuales directories de la cosa
pdblica nos tienen va acostumbrados a proyectos, inicia-
twas, contra proyectos, reformas y contra-reformas des-
cabellados,s ell anunciado Congreso de ninos Proletarios
hubiera constituido una tremenda sorpresa. Conforme
andan las cosas, NADIA es de sorprender, pues 10 1nico raro
resultaria que Sc tomase alguna MEDIA en- yerdad enca-
minada a mejorar las condolences del pueblo.
5Que pretende la Secretarfa de Educacion al reunir
en- un congreso a miles y miles de ninos mexicanos?
5Que resultados pretende obtener con clio? 6Acaso pien-
sa que los "congresistas' habran de producer resultados
benefcos con sus discusiones y sus conclusiones? Y por
ultimo, Gque es 10 que van a discutr los pequenos edu-
candos?5
Esta Ultima p%regunta, aun cuando no la despeja ajn
la Secretarfa, puede ser contestada a priori, sin tenor a
incurrir en- errores. Los diez mil "nihos proletarios' dis
cutran NADIA menos que la Educacion Socialista, y puede
predecirse, tambien sin ningin esfuerzo, que llegaran a
concusiones laudatorias para dicha ensenanza. Los con-
gresistas, despues de externar SUI opinion unanime en-
favor del socialism,, insertaran una clausula contra ell
fanatismo ~reigioso, y daran I'm vote de gracias a la Re-
volucion, que les ha quitado de encima un yugo de cien-
tos de amos!
La idea del congreso es descabellada, pero esta en- IL
nea con las fundamentals enunciaciones que en- ell te-
reno educatiyo han externado los hombres del %gobierno.
Recordarase que ell general Gales, en- su discurso de Qua
dalajara, hablaba de conquistar la conciencia de la jul
ventud, y que ell P mr., (a hechura de Canes), adopto
en- principle la inicativa del Diputado Jose Maria Davila,
para que fuese creada una seccion juvenil dentro del Par
lido, en- la cual habran de tener entrada todos aquellos
jovenes que, por carecer de la cualidad de ciudadanos, no
pueden adn tomar parte en- las practicas "democraticas"
de ea organization.
