MILITARY SPIES URECD BY LANDEAU
United States Lags in Pro. tecting Secrets Says
 British Service Ace

fin theBe times when war-niindcd nations gre expanding their spy Rnd countor.spy systems, the United States lagg behind otlier great pow CTS in protecting its own military secrets or learning those Of possible enemies, warns Henry Landau, for- mer captain in the British intellI. gence service, ln September CoBiio" politan.
 "Tho reason for this increase in spying" he explains in his article, Spies Cover the World, Ifs b0caiiBo tic armament race iS on, and every nation has been inVenting and per- fecttng new death -dcaling weapons and experimenting with new poison gases. Only the spy can foroWarn his country against them.
 "Bince aerial attack Rnd defense will play the dominant role in the ilext War, the secret services are paying special attention Co aviation Apart from mapping targets for aer- lal holnbardme1t, the spy is BOarch- sng out oil possible information con" corning new Inventions and ii1l- provemen6 in airplaneB and antl- aircraft defense"
 Citing Bome of the military dls- coverieB of other countries, interegt- ing to spies, Captain Landau men tons the English robot plano; by this latest invention aS many aB ten robot planes are sent out with C mother control plane, which while keeping out of range of antiSaircraft fire, can guide them accurately to their objective. There ASe TuFnorS Of death rays being perfected in Germany which projected from the ground have the power Of putting out of action the iTlagneto Of an air- plane in flight.
 "The United States is the only large nation that does not employ q secret service to obtain the war plans Of prospective enemies and learn about their new weapons" ho says. "The military intelligence, q small section of the general staff consists of . few officers and Bten- ographers. Its yearly grant iS only thirty thousand dollars and It's BolG function Is to advise. It relies for it's Information on foreign press clippings, and on such data ag all foreign military attaches are able tc gather"
 The United States also needs Q counter.spy system, he shows:
 "While the department of justice does investigate reports on gus- pccted activities sent in from time to time by private citizens, there fl no check-up oii spies In any way comparable with that which exiBti in other countries Foreign splei can operate here with comparative safety.
 Foreign spy activities in Mexico are of special interest" he con. cludcs. "On the entry of the United States into the World war, MexDcc became headQuarters for German spies, and it probably still being used as q base for foreign secret services"

To-day,s Sports Parade

just never knew when a stymie would explode the gals and send them into raging conflict.
 But this condition belongs to the past, as said. A change has come over womens golf. It has been bathed in sweetness and light and charity toward all.
 The players dispositions are as smooth and even as the greens on which they putt. They eat with one another, share the same rooms, lend each other money, and even advise each other how to improve weak spots in their games.
 I have covered four women's tour naments this winter, and haven't even so much as ascratch to show for 1t. And on each round I followed heard and saw things which would have been impossible in the past. I heard, for example, Mrs. Opal Hill say this to Maureen Orcutt Crews after being beaten in the final round at St. Augustine:
 High Praise
 "Maureen, you play too well for me. You deserved to win just as easily as you did"
 Before the change came, @ beaten finalist always muttered something under her breath which, translated later in the clubhouse, went this this:
 "You couldn't help but win with me as badly off my game. didn't hit a decent shot, and you were lucky all day, yet I managed to carry you Is holes. Wait till the next time get against you. Will make you look silly, dearie."
 At Ormond Beach I saw Patty Berg out on the practice green giv- ing putting tips to Jean Cothran, whom she met in the semi finals the next day. And in the finals I saw Patty and Lucille Robinson, arms en- twined, walk from shot to shot, talk ing and laughing.

WEIGHT PROBLEM WELL HANDLED BY BASEBALLERS
Many Stars Who Slipped Last Season Already in
 Good Playing Condition
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, March 10.-(UP)-One of the main problems in most base ball training camps is to get the athletes to take off surplus weight in the hot sun, but an unusually large number of major league play- CTS reported underweight this spring, or close to their playing weight.
 Many players went through Q siege of winter training to keep in condition. Comebacks beckon to most of them after disastrous sea- sons last year.
 Took It Off
 Lefty Gomez one of the highest paid pitchers in baseball, reported to the New York Yankees camp at St. Petersburg, weighing 167 pounds, l6 pounds lighter than at the close of last year. He had his worst season in the majors in 1885, winning only l2 games and losing 15, and attributes his failure par italy to overweight.
 Jimmy Foxx, who probably holds the key to the Boston Rer Sox pen- nant hopes, reported to his new club weighing l83, ten pounds under his weight last year. George Earnshaw, teammate of Foxx during the days of the Athletiecs' American league supremacy, reported to Brooklyn's camp weighing POS, the Ightest he has weighed since he helped the As to three pennants.
 Manager Charley Grimm of the champion Chicago Cubs was disap- pointed when two of his pitchers, Larry French and Tex Carleton, ar- rived at Catalina Island under weight. One of Carleton's big drawbacks is inability to pitch at top speed for nine innings. Grimm believes if he could add weight to his gangling frame he would im- prove.
 Rogers Hornsby will have to nurse couple of his stars, Rollie Hem- sley and Harland Gift, back to their playing weight. Hemsley reported WSA6Ahi6 OiiAy Auo, lAIGcu pOuIlQS under his mid-season weight. Gift was 20 pounds underweight because of an attack of influenza.
 Put It On
 On the other side of the picture, there are many frail players who have built up their weight to stand the grind of the 154-game sched- ule. Dick Bartell, Giants short- stop, reported weighing 167, seven- teen pounds more than last year. He hopes to keep most of that weight all season.
 Don Heffner. who will bid for the second base job in the Yankees in- field, added five pounds to his frame by halibut oil capsules. He eats candy and cakes and drinks cream to add weight. Woody English, Cubs captain who weighed only i42 after the World Series, report- ed weighing 20 pounds more. He had his tonsils extracted during the winter.

 Sport Spice Of Keen Interest
(By FRANK MURPHY)

 Boston, March 10-(UP) - Along New England sport trials:
 Only six weeks to go and the first entry has yet to be filed for the Boston A. A. Marathon, an of- ficial Olympic tryout. . '. But the 26- mile specialists are hard at their training. Johnny Kelley of Arling- ton and Les Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., winners in '35 and '33, covered the full Hopkinton- to- Boston course in a workout February 22. Along with Bill Molloy of Somerville, pretty good runner himself. It's reported the finish may be at the Bees Ball Park this year, the B. A. A. having lost its clubhouse. But Tom Randy says there's noth- ing official yet.
 Grant Is Good
 B0ston's hockey picture has made a complete about-face in just a week. |. Now it's the Bruins who seem headed for playoff profits. while the Cubs appear washed up in their circuit. Benny Grant is doing pretty well for goalie who can't find anything but rowing sub stitute duty in the Can-Am league =. Grant, who has been with half a dozen major an dminor league siXes in the past couple of years, has guarded the Springfield In- dians' net in three straight triumphs ... The last two being shutout vic- tories. There may be a hot time when President Art Ross meets with Can-Am league governors to- morrow to settle dates for the play offs and other matters The Provi- dence Reds and New Haven Eagles don't like Arts ruling that the l9 men on the Cubs player list and the IT on the Philly Ramblers' list all would be eligible for the play offs. Even though some have been playing with the National league since March 1. Art Ross, Jr., son of the Bruins general manager and Canaan league head. is guarding the nets for the governor Drummer school six, and doing a good job.

NOHkWCu 4ECoo 0bHn NUEECSpUIuGEkD
 Miami, Fla, March 10-(UP)-A great change has come over women's golf: a change more startling than that which attends the metamorpho- sis of cocoon into a butterfly, a cygnet into 8 swan, a pumpkin into Q pie.
 It was not long ago that women's golf was the most dangerous of all sports for a reporter to report. And the most trying. Women's golf tournaments were the accepted training ground for journalists who had their eyes on jobs as war cor- respondents. Three or four years of tramping the fairway with the fem mine wielders of the woods and irons and a man could walk into the thick of a war with complete assurance that he could take care of himself.
 No Mercy
 All the clements of war were there in these tournaments-hatred, mercilessness, and an almost com- plete lack of sportsmanship. The women made battle of it, not game. They moved forward, from round to round, with as ruthless @ determination as was ever shown by any soldier as he advanced from trench to trench in a charlge.
 To ask the player who was down in match how she stood was to risk your life. If she didn't actually bop you one on the noggin with her brassie, she would answer in voice so filled with fury that 1t would wrinkle your collar, unknot your tic and leave your knees shaking. To ask the one who led was even more frightening, for she would reply in 8 voice so Satanically gleeful that you felt that you were watching the torturing of a doomed soul.
 And the looks these combatants exchanged during a round. They were the original death rays. To fol- low a match for 13 holes was to ex- perience the same sensation one gets from sitting on a powder keg. You
