- this department, but when the
time comes for Manager Mickey
Cochrane to marshall his American
League forces for the annual all
star game in July, he might do worse
than to arrange for a l9-year -old kid
to play third base.
The kid would. of course. be
John Kelly Lewis, jr., Of Gas
t0nia, N. c.. and now of Wash
ington, ID. c. The "of course"
business was inserted partly be-
cause he is the only 19-year-
old regular in big league base
ball and partly because the kid
they call Buddy is striking vir-
tually everybody who see him
as the rookie sensation Of the
last few years, Joe Di Maggie or

Club Is Hit GoOfy.

THE Nationals. with few notable
- exceptions, apparently are hit
and-run crazy. Without the aid of
many base blows from such usually re-
liable producers as Batting Champion
Buddy Myer and Cecil Travis, the
Griffs are spraying wallops all over
the diamond these days and it doesn't
seem to make much difference who Is
doing the rival throwing.
In contriving to drop their first
Western start to the White Sox in
Thursdays 13-to12 fiasco. the Ma
tionals made 10 hits. Yesterday, in
whipping the Browns to slip back into
fifth place. just behind the Chisox,
they made II more safeties.
The habit can be broken without
warning. of course, but there certainly
is no indication Of any letdown. As a
matter of fact, If Myer begins to strike
his stride and Travis finds his batting
eye, as he assuredly will soon. the Ma
tional attack ought to improve. Maybe
they won't make II or 19 hits a game,
but the offensive should be better bal
anced.
In the last two days they have
faced eight pitchers-four in Chicago
uniforms and four in the habiliment
of st. Louis-and none has escaped
the whitening fire of the Washington
bats. With any kind of hurting at
all. the Griffs ought to gain in this
tour of the West which, by the way,
involves the departure from St. Louis
tonight and jump to Detroit for a
three-game series.

gave him a bad bruise. it was dis

his place behind the bat within few
days. In the meantime, Walter Miles
isn't doing bad job as q substitute.
All he did yesterday was to get four
hits In Eve trips. score two runs and
drive across another pair. and handle
Newsom in faultless fashion.
Newsom's contribution toward light
ening the horizon for the washington
club is no minor one, either. When he
beat the Browns with a Chit game
yesterday. Buck chalked up his second
straight victory since reverting to his
old wind-up and what diehards who
might still maintain it would be better
for him to stop twisting into pretzel
shapes are keeping their tongues in
their cheeks.
Buck dug his old wind-up out Of the
mothballs last Sunday in Washington
when he shut out the Red sox with
six hits. In the process he famed
eight Of the Bostons, promptly ap-
praised them as "semi-pros," and an
nounced he would stick to his dizzy
wind-up. In the face of his showing
he hardly could be ordered to do other

st. Loueys made five runs, to be sure,
but better defensive work behind New

Buddy Lewis, the boy wonder, shared

For a pitcher to work a complete

pasted with abandon by the men who
swing the clubs.
Only three of the 16 pitchers who

through. The White Sox beat the
Yankees. 81, blasting out "a hits, four
of them home runs; a total of 26 hits
was made as the Senators beat the

leteS surviving for places on
Y J the American Olympic team,
we believe there is none with
more confidence than the man who,
on May 80, will defend the National
A. A. U. marathon championship in
the annual Evening Star run-Pat
Dengis of Baltimore.
Dengis' affairs already are in order
for Pat to make the trip to Berlin.
He began shaping them months ago,
with the air Of a man accepting a
certainty, in spite of the fact that the
marathon Is fraught with more un-
certainties probably than any other
athletic contest. In a ajority of in
stances the best man in the race, gem
orally speaking, doesn't win. The VIC
tor as rule is the fellow blessed with
luck and having big day" otherwise.
One of the most surprised runners
in the 1882 Star marathon, won by
Clyde Martak of Baltimore, was Mar
tax. He never before had won a major
contest and hasn't won one since.
Pat Takes Dangerous Chance '
nENGIS' will to win is so pro.
nounced as to be little freakish.
In the Boston marathon of 1885, in
which he finished second, he ran the
last several miles with a pain in the
heart region, or seemingly there. that
forced him to run with a gait which
strangely resembled that Of a crab.
1t turned out to be stitch" but for
all Dengis knew his ticker was getting
set to do a fadeout He ran with sure
enough do-or-die spirit.
AS Jim Bergman portrayed in his
splendid cartoon of Dengis yester-
day. the Welshman, after hours of
unconsciousness in a hospital, at
tempted to quit the place and resume
a race in which he had collapsed.
If you know DengS you know the
fellow wasn't pulling an act.
Before the contest last year. which
he won going away, he addressed the
late Mrs. Charlotte Randall. COM
mandant of the Emergency First Aid
Corps. with these words:
Mrs. Randall, I said two years ago
that this was to be the race in which
would win the national champion
ship. I'm going to win today. If 7
get into trouble. don't do anything
that would disqualify me. I may pass
out. If do, let me lay. Ill get up
and keep going"
Medico vetoes Request.
MRS. RANDALL was incredulous
and made no promise. but DR..
John F. Preston, heart specialist and
medical director of the race, learned
Of Dengis' singular request and
promptly issued orders that If Dengis
collapsed he was to be whisked to
the nearest physician. This comes
now as news to Pat.
Several years ago Dengiss broke
down near the end Of 50,000-meter
walk and crawled part way to the
finish. In the Boston marathon on
last April 20 he ruptured a kidney
and the loss of blood forced him from
the race after 20 miles.
/ He turned to distance running and
walking about six years ago following
a nervous breakdown and. finding
himself capable, quickly became in
| tensely ambitious. He confided to
this reporter after the 1882 Star jauns
that he would lay out a two-year
campaign of training and win the
marathon here in 1885. He did ex-
actly that and then not only an
nounced himself as good as on the
! Olympic team, but set about making
arrangements for the trip to Ger
many.
Will he 60?
The odds are against him, as they
are against any man winning any
given marathon. but Pat Dengis only
laughs at odds.

Adds ABABA, April II.
(UP) - American Minister
Cornelius Van H. Engert
ordered all Americans to be
ready to take shelter in the
British legation today while the
capital covered under fear of
bombing raid by Italian airplanes
The order followed a visitation
by two three -motored bombers
which roared over the capital and.
as the terrified populace fought to
reach shelter, exploded a series
of rockts that displayed the Italian
colors, green white and red.
1t was feared the rockets were
the signal for an early bombing
raid which might precede a land
attack on the capital
The government Immediately
made plans to remove the seat of
government to the west, if neces-
sary, probably to Billo or Tessama,
125 miles out on the main western
caravan routes.
Emperor Halle Selassie notified
the government he did not wish to
maintain constant communications
with the capital, for fear he might
reveal his position with the army.
Army authorities here made
plans to build emergency fortifica-
tions outside the city to meet any
italian land attack.
The reason for the American
embassy order to United States ma
tionals to take refuge in the Brit
ish legation was that early in the
