Victories Acclaimed
BY Republicans

York while the Republicans carry
the assembly. And in that re-
spect history bears them out.
If Kentucky returns a Demo
cratic governor today, as seems
likely, indicating that the Demo
cratic Administration is still
strong in the Mid West, then big
jim" Farley will still wear his
famous smile, Notwithstanding
the New York and Philadelphia in
dicatorS.
For both parties, yesterday
means a tightening Of belts, and
intensified efforts.
A year from this week. the coun-
try will go about electing Presi-
dent. The Republicans enter the
last year more encouraged than
they have been since 1880; the
Democrats confident, but at the
same time fore-warned by yester-
days straws that they may expect
no walk-aways such as they had
in 1882 and 1884.

declined to say why such a high

Seek Information
Capt. B. w. Thompson, assist
ant chief Of detectives, issued a
call to any persons having a COM
plant against the Lowengrub
firm to go either to the Securities
and Exchange Commission or the
detective bureau and report it.
The LoWengrub company
started business here about two
years ago, with offices in the
Shoreham Building. About three
weeks ago they reorganized and
moved to the Investment Build
ing, where they opened a one
room office on the ground floor
under the name Of Lowe & Co.,
according to police.
Both police and the District At
torney's office denied they were
investigating the company at the
time of Miss Hopkins death. Both
said they opened their investiga-
tion only after finding a suicide
note left by Mrs. Epstein.
In this letter she revealed that
she had mailed the letter to the
District Attorney. Detectives went
to the post office and found the
eight-page document, written on
yellow paper.
Charges Investigated
A veil of secrecy has been
drawn around the contents of
this letter while detectives have
been assigned to run down the
charges contained in it.
The Hopkins girl, who had been
employed by the Lowengrub firm,
wrote a note just before she took
the fatal dose Of poison. The
note, found in her pocketbook,

Returning to New York State
and widely printed statements
that the results amounted to a
repudiation Of the Roosevelt Ad-

friends pointed out that issues
were largely local.
Owen D. Young. chairman Of
the board Of General Electric,

Garden No Nearer SOlu. ton of Heavyweight
 Puzzle

New York, April 6.-(UP)-A half dozen conferences with MadI- son Square Garden officials brought Max Baer no nearer a defense oi his heavyweight title today and failed to change his mind about James J. Braddock's lack of class but the champion no longer is ex- pressing himself out loud.
 Braddock would prefer to do his punching in the ring for money but might be induced to do 1t in an alley free of charge. He came near turning his right hand into a greeting card for the champion upon his arrival here yesterday.
 Baer was just getting warmed up before an audience on his class and Braddock's lack of 1t, when the forgotten man who gave Art Lasky beating, appeared.
 af Nice Work
 Braddock walked up slowly and looked at Baer, who stopped a glass of beer over in arising and extending his hand.
 "How you, Jimmy" he said.
 T don't know yer" the New Jer- sey stevedore answered from a cor ner of his mouth and kept his hands in his pockets.
 Baer laughed off Braddock's ob- vious anger, and today went into more conferences trying to find a way to make the match with Max Schmeling, who, Baer believes: Would help draw a million dollar gate

CHANGE IN TIP-OFF RULES EXPECTED

Madison, Wis (UP)-Coach Harold E. (Bud) Foster of the University of Wisconsin basketball team, co-holders of the 1885 Big Ten title, expects change in the up-OM rules and the eventual abo- liti0n of the center jump in West ern Conference play.
 believe there is likely to fSb6 . restraining circle drawn around the center circle with players forced to stay out of that zone un- til after the tip-off," Foster said, speaking of the immediate fu- turo. That will open up the game and allow some scoring plays off the tip-off. This is virtu.. ally Impossible at the present time because of the tanning around the center circle.
 Foster does not believe that the Big Ten will make any rule or holding the ball on the center pivot position, because there are already too many fouls.
 "However, I believe that the en- tire center-pivot game will be leg islated out of basketball within the next half dozen years,' he said. "Something should be done about uniformity of officiating but no- body seems to know exactly what 1t should be-"

GOOD GOLF
 Bill Kish

Golf clubs are numbered all the way up 10 No. 9. Each one is ma6e with 8 little more loft than the Eext one to it and that enables us to make every sort of a shot. Do not use the No. 1 iron and make it do the work of the No. 2 or 3 iron by using a half or three-quarter swing, but pick out the club needed for the required distance and play it with the full strength. The No. 1 iron is the hardest club to use and is used very little, the spoon is a good substitute for it. The No. 2 iron is called into play quite often as the loft carries the ball at the right height as a rule.
 In playing the irons my ad- vice is to drive the ball into the ground with them. It is impossible to hit the ball into the ground with an iron, but in attempting to do so we are certain to follow through with the club which picks up a divot just behind the ball. A ball hit in this manner will not be topped, and if hit straight from behind it will not be sliced or hooked.

YOUNG GOLF STAR HOLDS 4 STROKE
 LEAD ON FIELD
Sarazen, Mangrum Tied at l39-OJnes Out of It;
 Hagen Scores We'll
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Ediitor)

Augusta. Ga, April 6-(U.P.)- Henry Picard, a professional from Hershey. Pa, was practically all there was to the Augusta National Championship to-day.
 Picard turned 29 last month, started his third round to-day with a margin of four strokes over his nearest adversary. He broke his own course record of 69 in scoring a 67 in the opening round and in the second test of the tricky Bobby Jones course was forced to con- tent himself with a mere 6s, These two scores which gave him an az gregate of 135 turned the Augusta into something approaching a one- man show.
 In A Bunch
 Closest in pursuit as the cream of American golf started off to- days third round were Gene Sara zen, still the betting favorite, and Ray Mangrum, youngster from Los Angeles, each of whom had 139, and Olin Dutra. national open champion from Los Angeles. and Jimmy Hines of New York with 140's. Craig Wood, tall blonde star from Deal. N. J., was within, easy striking distance with Al.
 Three were also definitely con- sidered in the running Willie Goggin of San Francisco, Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. r.. and Walter Hagen, each with 142.
 Jones Is Through
 The big disappointment but not the big surprise was the showing made by Bobby Jones. Although the greatest player that ever lived was given no real chance to win the tourney which marks his sec. ond competitive test in two years, he was the big favorite of the Georgians who flock the Augusta national by the hundreds and has lost none of his popularity despite the scoring which has placed him at 146, eleven strokes behind the leader.
 As far as Bobby is concerned. all that remains to be decided Is how far from the winner he will finish. He put on great scoring burst going out yesterday, but lost his grip on the way In.
 One of to-day's most closely watched players was Hagen, who yesterday proved he's still threat when he scored 69, second best of the second round.
 Third round will be completed to-day and the final of the four rounds will be played Sunday.
