THOMASTON NINE
 ASKS BALL PARK

Thomaston, April 1.-No definite plans for the coming season were made at the meeting of the Knights of Columbus baseball team Monday night. The team has been granted permission to use any part of the Plume and Atwood lower meadow as field, but it will require a great deal of work to put it in shape. It is doubtful whether the team will be able to use the Sanford avenue field, as Sunday playing was pro- hibited last year. If the local team is able to obtain a suitable field a meeting will be called and definite plans made.

Masters Golf Tourney Ri= vals Ready-Bobby Gets
 272 in Practice Rounds

Augusta, Ga, April 1.-(UP)-The ancient cry of Bobby Jones against the field was s-.ar reality today as the ffty-odd contestants in the Augusta national golf championship went through their final practice rounds.
 This is because the abdicated em- peror of the worldl of golf has shown the most complete consistency in the tuneups for the four-day, 72- hole test which ranks with the Miami Biltmore as the one best to win outside the American cham pionship.
 Four days of practice have brought the bronzed MT. Jones tLc following figures: GA, 68, 70, 70. They total 272 which is ten strokes under the aggregate scores by Gene Sarazen, winner in the playoff, and Craig Wood in the 1885 test.
 Jones himself, isn't taking the thing too seriously.
 "Of course, I'd like to win," he said today. But there are so many fine golfers around that 1t would be miracle if were lucky enough to do it."

Pinehurst, N. O., April - (UP)-- Being nothing more than daily story in which a man who has writ ten sports for eight years unbur- dens his bosom of few opinions:
 1. Jack Sharkey, when he lost the heavyweight championship of the world to Primo Camera, was knocked out by terrific blow which landed squarely on his chin and not on his chest, as so many ringside observers believed it did.
 2. Of all the people a sports writer has to interview ever so of- ten, Mrs. Helen Wills Moody is the most gracious and eager to answer your every question. Ask her any thing and you get one of these three quick decisive answers:
 Maybe, perhaps" or T don't know for sure."

BOSTON TEAMS ABOUT SET FOR
 SEASONS DEBUT
Red SOx Ready Aside From Werber-Bees at Home
 to Giants April IF
BY FRANK MURPHY nitnl Dnagu CAaR nnsrnaNANvafNA fN Ai

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, April 1.-(UP) The line- ups which Boston's major league baseball teams will field for the opening games of their regular sea- sons about two weeks hence seemed established with one exception to- day as the Bees wended northward from St. Petersburg and the Red Sox prepared to break camp at Sarasota.
 Toe Trouble
 The only question mark hovered over the Red Sox infield from which Third Baseman Bill Werber was missing because of sore toe, just when he was showing signs of the batting punch that made him an American League sensation two years ago. Assuming that Werber's foot will be healed it appeared that Managers Joe Cronin and Bill Mo- Kechnie would nominate the fol- lowing teams for their respective 1886 debuts:
 RED SOX BEES 1 Armada, If. c. Moore Cramer, Of cf.............Ss .Ss, UrbanSki Manush, H..............1b, Jordan FoXX, 1b b.................cr CT, Berger Cronin, Ss........... D, Cuccinello McNair, 2b. b............3 .3b, Whitney Werber, 3b. ...................H If, Lee R. Terrell, c.............c, Lopez w. Terrell, p............p Cantwell Uncertainty
 Batting orders were by no means settled. Urbanski as well as Gene Moore, new outfielder secured from Brooklyn, was a possibility for the lead-of position with the bees, and Rabbit McNair might superccde Melo Armada as first Red Sox man at bat. But, except for the problem at third base, the lineups seemed all set. With Werber sidelined, Me- Nair probably would shift to third base for the Red Sox with Oscar Melillo stepping in at second. Wes Terrell has proven himself more advanced than other Red Sox pitchers in the south and this, with his record of g victories for last season, should win him the opening day assignment. CantWell tops the none too strong bees pitching staff every way you look at 1t and, bar rin gindisposition, Ben probably will work the Bees first game.
 The Bees and Red Sox open their 1 three-game series fo rthe champion ship of the city at the Bees par.s Friday, April 10, the second game be- ing played in the National League park Saturday and the third at Fem way park Sunday. The Red Sox open their American League season against Connie Mack's Philadelphia, Athletics here April IA. The Bees open the same day against the Phil- lies at Philadelphia, and play their first home game here against the New York Giants April r.

Understanding Needed.

The District is indebted to Representa-
tive Bankhead, majority leader in the
House, for having withdrawn the con-
ference report on the airport bill last
week. There was such apparent mis-
understanding of the whole project,
especially the provisions relating to
dividing the cost of the survey between
the District and National governments,
that had a vote been taken the report
might have been killed and the whole
business would have had to be under
taken again from the start. Mr.. Bank
head may believe that if the members
have more time to familiarize themselves
with the ramiications Of the airport
problem the conference report will
receive more sympathetic understanding
when 1t is next presented.
The attitude of some members Of the
House has been expressed generally as
follows: My city needed an airport
and the people went ahead and built one.
What is to prevent the people of the
District from doing the same thing?
Why must they eternally run to Con-
gress?
The answer, of course, is that the
people of the District have only little
more to say about the building Of a
Capital City airport than the man in
the moon. Congress Is the local legisla-
ture. and any airport legislation must be
enacted by Congress. AS for the division
of cost, the needs Of the National Gov
ernment. more than the needs Of the
local community, will be met by the air.
port. II an unfair proportion of the
cost is to be placed on local taxpayers
the airport is too expensive an under
taking for them to shoulder at this time.
Other more important needs should come
first
The notorious inadequacy Of the pres
ent airport has been condemned from
coast to coast. An airport bef1tting the
National Capital must be built, sooner
or later. After a good many false starts
and long months Of argument an agree
ment has finally been reached between
House and Senate on plan of procedure
in selecting an airport site. There is no
sound reason why this plan should not
be approved.

Earl Beatty.

A great man went to his rest when
Admiral Earl Beatty died. No one who
ever looked into his eyes, even for q
moment, could be in any doubt about
the distinction Of his soul. He was
unique In bearing and manner, in ma
ture development of personality, in
discipline Of mind and heart. As first
sea lord he was>a perfect human symbol
Of power and endurance; he symbolized
the imperial feet.
But it would be mistake Of Judgment
TO suppose that he lacked humanity.
Instead, he went into battle on the open
bridge Of his flagship. The protection
which Nelson had scorned Lord Beatty
likewise declined. BY deliberate choice
he stipulated equality Of risk with his
men, and they worshiped him for his
intrepid daring. Critics, Of course,

Shownaen,

Some men have the power to drama
tie themselves. BY the exercise Of an
inborn genius they can attract and hold
the attention of vast audiences. They
are, In effect, master showmen. Perhaps
they purposefully think In terms Of the.
ater; but it Is more likely that they are
not acutely conscious Of the processes
by which they seek their ends nor Of
the impact upon mass intelligence which
the technique Of their procedure neces-
sarily exerts.
Alexander the Great. for instance, did
not deliberately espire to b the hero

assailed him after the clash at Jutland,
and 1t was charged that he had failed
his chief, the high-minded Jellicoe. But
no answer was accorded the Knockers Of
his fame. So long as the King was not
dissatisfied his servant preferred to be
silent.
The explanation Of his serenity lay in
Lord Beatty's belief that the business
of q navy is to fight. He proved his faith
at Helgoland Blight when he finished
the German cruisers Muenchen, Koeln
and Ariadne, and again of the coast of
East Anglia when he demolished the
Kaiser's floating fortress, the Bluecher.
But his courage had its noblest mani
festation in his pursuit of Admiral Hip
per after the Tiger had been badly hit
and was in imminent danger Of sinking.
His men swore that he was capable of
maintaining the chase on a shutter.
In Washington Lord Beatty is assured
of long remembrance. He was immensely
popular in Capital society during the
disarmament conference, and there are
many of his contemporaries who will
rejoice to recall his fortnight and undis-
guised genius for fellowship, his keen
and enthusiastic confidence in practical
policies for peace, his ardent love for
Britain and for America, and, above all,
his imperishable confidence in destiny
which defends and preserves the good
and constructive values Of q civilization
which may not be faultless. but which
has numerous claims to survive.

of q cycle of legends. 1t was for imme.
diate advantage that he launched out
on his piratical raids into the East. He
sighed for more worlds to conquer"
that he might have more peoples to
exploit. FL
Julius Caesar, also, was a pragmatist.
His first objective was to protect Rome,
his second to extend her sway to terri
tory which might be taxed to her profit.
1t would have moved him to laughter
to learn that stratford poet, centuries
later, would glorify him to q multitude
Of groundlings.
Napoleon Bonaparte represents third
case in point. Far more important in
his judgment was the military and eco
nomic dominance Of France over Europe
than anything that might be said Of
him q hundred years after his death.
It was only when he had gambled and
lost that he began to appeal to the
charity of posterity. So long as victory
perched upon his banners, his attitude
to the future was drastically realistic.
Yet each of these mighty captains was
endowed with gifts of temperament
which insure Immortality in the imagi-
nation of mankind. Each failed of final
and conclusive triumph-fate cut them
of from success. But what does it
matter? Each survives despite disaster,
because each is good entertainment"
And the same observation may be
suggested for the three great showmen
of the present period Of history. The
Fascist and the Nazi movements and
the New Deal may be destined to col
lapse, but Mussolini, Hitler and Roose-
velt will retain their celebrity. 1t seems
to be basic principle of human expert
ence that personality is more significant
than anything that 1t produces Of gain
or loss.
