Hank Greenberg

Palo Alto, Calif., July 18.-(UP) Glenn S. (Pop) Warner, Temple university football coach, hesitat- ingly confirmed a report today that he would like to coach at the Uni versity of California"

 When asked to confirm Mar shall's report, Warner laughed and said he had made such a statement in casual conversation but with no thought of its being taken serious ly.

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York. July 1s-(UP)-The Cincinnati Reds, cellar team of the National league for four years, are casting eyes toward a first division place this eason.
 Overshadowed by the St. Louis Cardinals 13 game winning streak and the collapse of the New York Giants, the Reds are putting on a private drive intended to oust the faltering Pittsburgh Pirates from fourth place.
 The Reds, by inning 15 games out of 25 since June 22, have risen to within three and half games of fourth. When and if they get there they intend to start rushing for third.
 , Giants Check Reds.
 The time is opportune for Cin- cinnati to strike. The Pirates have lost six out of their last eleven starts. The Reds, after winning seven straight, had their streak snapped yesterday by the Giants, 6-3, but they plan to begin another streak today.
 Charlie Dressen, amiable man. ager, offers this reason for his teams success: They're just play ing darn good baseball. The boys are beginning to hit. Babe Herman and Kiki Cuyler have been batting way over three hundred since join- ing the team and now Sammy Byrd SG R1 s~a A. getting better brand of pitching and if the hurlers stand up we'll make ia tough for all teams"
 The Reds have a large order if they expect to finish in the first division. The last Cincinnati team . to do better than fifth was the 1926 outfit which ended second. Number Thirteen.
 The St. Louis Cardinals chase for first place continues virtually unhalted. The Cards, behind old Wild Bilp Hallahan's four-hit hurling, whipped the Boston Braves 2-1 yesterday for their thirteenth straight triumph. It was the Braves ninth consecutive defeat.
 The Giants, after losing three straight, kept their four game hold on the lead behind Carl Hubbells pitching. Hubbeli, showered by the Reds on Monday, won his 18th game as he snapped the Cincin- natl winning streak.
 Curt Davis halted the Chicago Cubs with five hits to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 3-2 victory. The Brooklyn Dodgers whipped Pittsburgh 5-4 and 50 in a double -header.

HEATS FOR WATER
 SHOW OPEN TO-DAY FOR WOMEN STARS
Field of Forty Entered in Manhattan Beach FOur-
 Day Carnival
BY STUART CAMERON Limited Press Sports Editor)

New York. July 1s-(UP)- Americas greatest women swim ming and diving stars converged at Manhattan Beach for the four-day aquatic extravaganza which com prises the National A. A. U. cham pionships.
 The two-score field of stars who represent every section of the coun- try will open the competition when heats are held this morning in the hitly-contested 100-meter free sty!s event. Finals will be held in the afternoon along with the 3-meter springboard dive championship and the grue1ling one-mile free style.
 The century is expected to be fought out among four of the 21 entries. The quartet figured by the experts as certain to include the winner is composed of the defend ing champion, Olive McKean of Seattle; Katherine Rawls, the tiny Miami lass; Leonore Right of Homestead, Pa., generally rated tops in the world as an all-around free-stylist, and Alice Bridges, the smooth-str oking star from Whitins- vile, Mass.
 Watch Miami Girl
 Mrs. Dorothy Poynton Hill is overwhelming favorite in the 3-me- ter springboard dive championship. Her principal opposition will come from Claudia Eckert of Chicago, Janice Lifson and Cornelia Gilis- sen, bot hof New York, and Mary Hoerger of Miami. Katy Rawls won the~3-meter dive title last year but decided to confine her activities this year to swim tests.
 Miss Right, who holds the na- tional record of 24:34.1 for the one- mile, is figured to retain her cham pionship in this exhausting event. Susan Robertson, ace New Yorker should give the Homestead gal an earnest battle. Only six entries were accepted for the mile. The others listed are Evelyn Rawls of Miami, Jackie Nicholson of Chicago. Ele- amor Lewis of Los Angeles and Lou- ise Clark of Homestead, Pa. The most closely watcher stax of the opening days show will be the blonde Californian, Mrs. Hill. Only 21, she is already a veteran, and an Olympic champion. She has high hopes of capturing both the springboard and platform diving tests in the national, and of repeat ing in next years olympics. She promises to retire if she fulhlls that program.

Retail Stores Look
 For Improved Trade
Survey By National Dry Goods Association Finds 6S
 Percent Plan For Increased Spring Buying

New York, Feb 7.-Almost uni- versally retail department and specially stores in various parts of the country predict an improve ment in general business conditions in their districts. during the spring months, a survey by the Merchan- dising Division of the National Re- tail Dry Goods association revealed today.
 Merchants look for this general business improvement to be reflect ed in substantial gains in retail sales, according to T. L. Blanke, general manager of the merchant dising Division. and are stepping up their buying and selling plans for Easter trade proportionately.
 Ninety-two per cent of the stores boiled in the survey indicated they expected an improvement in gen. eral business conditions over last spring in their districts. Thirty two per cent of the reporting stores said they believed general business conditions in their districts would be 10 to 25 per cent better than last year, and 60 per cent of the stores look for general business gains of from per cent to 10 per cent. The remaining 8 per cent of- fered the opinion that business in their areas would be about on 6 level with that of a year ago, and none of the reporting stores thought business would be below last year during the spring months.
 The peak in store stocks is ex- pected to come about a week later than last year, but stocks should be maintained at the high level for a longer period this year because of the longer selling period before Easter, according tor the conclu- sions of the report.
 More than 90 per cent of the stores reported that the unusually late Easter was having no materi- al effect on their buying plans. The stores answering "no" indicat- cd that the late Easter would re- tard volume of early purchases, be- cause they think spring business will be prolonged, with corre- spending later summer goods pro- motions,--conditions which should
