THE Garden has the champion un-
der contract for a June title
match, but Jimmy Johnston and
his associates must name a chal-
lenger acceptable to Baer by April IS.
If the Garden wants to hold the match
in New York, Johnston must name
Braddock as the challenger under Or
ders of the State Athletic Commission.
The Garden. however. may elect to
take Baer's title bout out of New York
State. In that event, there would be
possibly wider choice Of challengers.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-With
- the weather mans permission
the Phillies and Athletics pry
open the lid on major league
base ball in Philadelphia today in
the first game of their annual FIVE
game city series.
Connie Mack probably will call on
Roy Mahaffey to start the game for
the AS with Al Benton in reserve,
while Jimmy Wilson will start the
veteran Syl johnson and hold curt"
Davis in reserve for the Phils.
FORT WORTH, Tex.-Al Simmons
annual Spring batting slump, which
has been worrying Manager Jimmy
Dykes and the rest of the White Sox,
apparently has ended ahead Of sched-
ule
A week ago Simmons said he would
start worrying if he hadn't started
hitting by April 7. He started with
a double in two times at bat Thurs
day, and yesterday helped defeat the
Pittsburgh Pirates with 380-foot
homer, and a double which hit the
40O-foot distant center field fence.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-Lou Gehrig's
batting average still is puny affair
but the New York Yankee first base
man can't say he isn't getting on
base. He has been passed 10 times
in the last three games, drawing four
walks in a row in the exhibition with
Birmingham yesterday.

II are a bit worried about Man
ager Joe Cronin's wrist.
1t is bothering him again. Joe
thinks the damp weather encountered
during the Atlanta stop-over Is re-
sponsible and believes few dry days
will find the stiffness gone.
CHARLESTON, S. C.-The Detroit
Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds re-
sumo their Spring transforming bat
ties today, with all eyes on Hank
Greenberg.
In four trips to the plate with
teammates on base at Savannah, Ga,
yesterday, the Tigers first baseman
failed to connect. The Reds won,

four hits. 1t was the first time a
Tiger pitcher has gone the route this
season.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April @.-

UGUSTA, Ga, April 6.-For
" the first nine holes of the Sec

Tournament yesterday Bobby
Jones fed the field the dust that he
once threw in his day of rulerShip
But after that initial salvo in front
of big gallery. Bobby faltered as the
flying leaders kept up blazing pace
that came near burning up the Au-
gusta national course.
You could hardly see the dogwood,
the wistaria and the azalea blooms for
the smoke that Henry Picard raised as
he added a 68 to his 81 of the day
before. The tall, willowy entry from
Pennsylvania, standing 6 feet 3 inches
above the green turf, led one of the
fastest fields in the world by mar
gin Of four strokes as the parade
moved into the third round.
In hot pursuit were Gene SaraZen
and Ray Mangrum at 139, Olin Dutra
and Jimmy Hines at l40. Craig Wood
at 141, with Walter Hagen. Paul Run
yam and Bill Goggin at 142.
Hagen, the old master, came
roaring back in 38 strokes to
gather in a 50.
"I guess I'd better step in to prove
that the old-timers still are on the
map" he told me as he started out.
He peeled three strokes off par as he
finished with broad grin in front
of cheering crowd.

HICAGO, April 6-Not a
member of the Washington
" ball clubs pitching pack will
have pitched over a nine
inning route when the American
League season opens in the Capital
10 days from now. An unprecedented
interruption of the Spring exhibition
schedule by rain has ruined Manager
Harris plans for the printing of the
Nationals boXmen.
A downpour in Louisville yesterday
prevented a second meeting with the
Colonels, so the Nationals have been
in only three games in the last eight
days.
Bucky had hoped to have several
of the veteran hurlers get nine-inning
turns before the current homeward
transforming tour was over, but
weather conditions made this impos-
sible and now he says he must con-
tinue to employ at least two pitchers

the training period.
There isn't a chance of breaking
the present policy of using pitchers, 1"
Harris said today. 1T is too bad, but
there still remains much for every
man in the squad to do and the pitch
ers could not get the necessary work
should I attempt to use but one in
some of the remaining games.
IF we get fair break in the
weather after we get home next week
I don't believe the poor trip we have
had will hurt us, however. The
pitchers are in pretty good trim de-
spite infrequent workouts" and, Har-
ris added, maybe they'll be all the
stronger for the lay-off, while some of
those on the other clubs will be wilt
ing when we get down to the July
games"
Which is looking plenty far ahead.

Jones Still Leading Stars.

JUlCo othu ANduihS okdlSs
TN THE case of Bobby Jones it is not
so much that Bobby has slipped or
fallen away. It is the looming
pace of the field at large that has
increased. Don't overlook the fact
that Jones, facing the third round,
still was leading such star golfers as
Horton Smith, Tommy Armour, Billy
Burke, Harry Cooper, Johnny Farrell,
Willie Macfarlane and several others
who have won golf gold and glory in
the past. And he was tied up with
Lawson Little, British and United
States amateur champion.
The grand slammer of 1880, facing
his second competition in five years,
has been no part of a bust when you
dig beneath the top surface and look
squarely at the facts. They are asking
too much of any man to carry the
load that has been thrown on Jones
that of matching the tornado-like
sweep of those who happened to be
at top stride.

I wasn't hitting the ball well enough.
ANY golfer knows this feeling.
wasn't sure of my timing. And I
also happened to know that mere par

This is true. The Picards, Sarazens,

two rounds left for Saturday and Sun

The Current big Six"

pitchers to be particularly primed
for the bigger business ahead are
Earl Whitehill, Bob Burke and
Walter Stewart of the left-handed
crew, and Monte Weaver. Ed Linke
and the recruit, Henry Coppola, of the
right-handed section of the squad
As Harris today outlined his pitching
plans for the remainder of the exhi-
bition series he indicated that this
sextet probably will constitute the
Nationals starting corps as the
championship campaign gets under
way.
So it looks as if the manager has
decided he must gamble heavily with
his pitching choices. OF this group
only Whitehill, Burke and Coppola
appear well advanced in a pitching
way as well as physically. Stewart
has yet to prove under fire that the
years have not taken so much toll of
his arm as to make him of little use
to his club. The veteran has trained
faithfully and looks in pretty good
trim, but that bad record of last sea-
son cannot be discounted just now
Coppola rates first of the right
handlers at present, although Weaver
and Linke have appeared to advan-
tage in the Spring tussles. Whether
Coppola really deserves this rating
may be learned tomorrow when he
does the major portion of the pitch
ing against the Cribs in the wind-up
of the series here.
Should Weaver show that his lack
Of weight is no handicap, and Linke
that the arm that went dead" for
months is not likely to suffer a re-
lapse, the Nationals would be well
fortified on the hill even with a re-
cruit like Coppola filling in OCCASION
ally. But Weaver and Linke must
come through If the Washington ball
club is to keep well up in the cham
pionship running.
Evening star., 1935-04-06

TACK RUSSELL and Al Thomas, the
u other right-handers of the curv-
ing corps, are to be assigned to
the reserve squad. In Thomas case
this was the original plan, but Rus
sells failure to recover rapidly from
a cold that attacked him when he
was about at peak physically has
sorely disappointed Manager Harris.
The pilot had looked to Russell as a
likely starter of games this year and
at the Biloxi camp the tall twirler
was groomed with that idea in mind.
Now 1t seems Jack is out of the start
ing picture definitely.
Leon Petit, southpaw brought up
from the Chattanooga farm, is des-
tined to stick around the Nationals
for some time. A minor league vet
eran, he knows the pitching game.
Although possessing no extraordinary
ability, he is of the kind that lets
the head make up for much that the
arm may lack and there is place for
such a pitcher on almost any big
league ball club. The Lookouts soon
may get sgd Cohen, another left
handler they sent up last year. He
does not appear to have major league
quality.
Those in charge of the Nationals
are not banking upon Bump Hadley
at this time. Perhaps they would
be more interested should he make a
respectable showing against the
Pirates as he hurls in the game at
Chattanooga tomorrow. But it would
take even more than that to convince
Bucky Harris and the other officials
of the Nationals that the chunky
chucker brought back from the Browns
has the goods.
They can't forget that Bump kept
mum about that sore arn while they
were dickering with the st. Louis
club for his transfer.

of 1t. How could 1t be otherwise? [?
 How Peter did wish that he hadn't asked Nimbleheels to show him how he could jump.
 Its all my fault" thought Pc ter. If Hooty does catch Nimble- heels 1 shall blame myself as long as I live. Yes I will it is all my fault, 1t is all my fault. They are getting nearer the Brier Patch, but I'm afraid they won't get there in time. Oh dear! Oh dear !"
 For the time being Peter quite forgot that he himself was anything but safe sitting out there on the Green Meadows in the moonlight. His whole thought was for little Nimbleheels who was so bravely jumping for his life.
 Every once in a while the sharp snap of Hooty's bill would reach Peter and send little shivers up and down his back. He had heard the snap of that bill before more than once, and never without shivering.
 Presently a dark cloud passed over the moon just as Hooty made an unusually quick turn and struck

more tiercely than ever at poor lit tie Nimbleheels. A Black Shadow hid them for a minute or two, and though Peter strained his eyes he couldn't see what was happening When the Black Shadow had passed on and the Green Meadows were once more flooded with moonlight Peter stared eagerly at the spol where he had last seen Nimbleheels and Hooty. Neither was to be seen Hastily Peter looked this way and that way. Disappearing toward the Green Forest he saw what looked like floating shadow. It wasn't a shadow. Peter had seen 1t too often to be fooled even for a minute. It was Hooty the Owl. Peters heart sank.
 "Hooty is going home to the Green Forest, so he must have caught Nimbleheels that last time," thought Peter sadly. He caught little Nimbleheels and now he is taking him home for dinner. Poor little Nimbleheels. And 1t was my fault. It certainly was my fault If I had not wanted to see him jump he would have been content to stay in the dear Old Brier Patch, and then this couldn't have hap pened."
 Peter turned toward the Brier Patch and hurried home, lipperty- lipperty-lip. He felt that the Green Meadows were not a safe place for him that night. And as he crept under his favorite bramble bush his heart was heavy with sadness. Life seemed a terrible thing. Somehow the moonlight no longer seemed so beautiful. Peter sighed heavily, for he was very, very sad. Then he sighed again.
 What's the matter with you? Have you pain?" asked a thin, high squeaky voice that sounded most familiar. Peter jumped as if he had sat on brier.

A Little Garden
By ANNE CAMPBELL

CHE had a little garden U Upon her window sill. She waters it at evening
 When all the world Is still; A narrow box of beauty
 That holds the humbleSt blooms, And yet 1t feeds spirit
 That lives in little rooms. There is no sweeping vista
 To bless her city eyes. The walls are thick around her.
 They shut away the skies. But souls that crave the woodlands Must have bit of green, And so above her garden,
 The neighbors see her lean. She has a little garden
 As lovely to her sight, AS are the Towering acres
 That grow for your delight; And in the dewy twilight;
 When pale stars shine above, I know God gives her garden !" The blessing of his love!

 Answer: Mrs. Jones, this Is my son Bobby" or "Ethel, this Is Bobby" then to Bobby. Miss Blake" Bobby then says, ''How do you do, Mrs. Jones" Cor Miss Blake').
 Dear Mrs. Post: Is there any way that would be correct to meet the young girl in the next apartment house? Her father Is pro fessional associate of my father, but outside of the hospital at which both are attending physicians, they never meet. We are really the newcom- CTS in the neighborhood so neigh borhood courtesy cannot be used as means.
 Answer: The strictly proper thing to do is to wait until friend in common introduces you. But since very few people take strict propri- cities of this sort very seriously, you might perhaps write her note. tell her her father knows your ia ther and that you would like very much to meet her, and ask If she will name aD hour when you may go to see her. This Is of course not at all according to rule, and if she does not answer your note you will feel humiliated. and there will be noth- ing that you can do except forget that you ever wanted to see her. On the other hand, there Is no reason to suppose she will not be delighted to know you.
 Dear Mrs. Post: l am secretary to the president of large dress manufacturing company and am often introduced to customers. Is it proper, whether the buyer Is man or woman, for me to rise and shake hands?
 Answer: This depends upon the particular circumstances of your own position. If you have had any amount of personal correspo ondence with these buyers, you would rise and greet them. If they are strangers, you would probably fol low the conventional imperso nal be. hayior of an office employee.
 Dear Mir. Post: I am having party for a friend who is staying with me. Do l mention her name first, or those of my guests Gall wOmen) when introducing them?
 Answer: Name of older person usually said first. But unless the formal may present" Is used, which name is said first is of no real importance.
