Backed by Common People.
The monarch, who last night argued
for so minutes with Baldwin after
seeing the queen mother and his
brothers, the heir-presumptive Duke
of York. the Duke Of Gloucester and
the Duke of Kent. found hope for a
solution in a growing, vigorous sup
port from the common people.
This, as opposed to the stiff-laced
precedents of what these folk call the
"toffs,' was launched by the Laborite,
Col Wedgewood, who, in seeking what
would amount to parliamentary vote
of confidence for the king, said: ''The
people hate to see man bullied where

If Edward should appeal to the

desire-it would be the first time In
more than a century that an English

Mrs. Simpson went during the

Separation Temporary"
The separation of Edward and Mrs.
Simpson will be only temporary, au-
thoritative sources said, depending on
the final outcome of the constitutional
crisis with its possibility that the
King might sbe forced to abdicate If
he persisted in his friendship for the

Mrs. Simpson.

Places Her in Car.
Edward himself, it was learned,
placed Mrs. Simpson in one OF his
big motor cars for her journey from
his Belvedere Castle last night.
Accompanied by q bodyguard and
one of the Kings secretaries, the car
raced her through the darkness to
the south coast of England where she
caught the boat for France.
The King arranged for her to 60

should have best possible care even

crisis, all members Of Prime Minister
Baldwin's government Cancelled their
engagements for today and tonight
and were in practically continuous
session.
simultaneously with a brief cabinet
recess it was oficially announced that
King Edward was again at his royal
country lodge, where Mrs. Simpson
has remained in solitary security since
the storm broke.
The Kings brief morning absence
from Belvedere. where he got only
four hours Of f1tful sleep during me
night, gave rise to numerous rumors.
At first it was thought he might
have raced to London, but later indl-
cations were that he conferred with
his adjoining neighbor, Lord Derby

here is an All-Star team worthy

kickoff is scheduled for 8 o'clock.

Then there's big Ed Danowski,

That ought to be recommenda-

the only wedge on which Wash

Last summer Beverly played for
the Thomasville team down yon

kind of an outfielder at all, by
next season he should have found
himself pretty we'll out of the

Property Of Orioles
Young Ferrell has been the
property of the Baltimore Orioles
for some three years, but they
never had him report. and by the
weird laws of the game they lose
their claim to him and he became
a slave on the block in the market

Ranks Have Thinned

And it seems to me I can count
from my perch in the press box
only a handful of the 1888 Giants
That made such short work OF the
GriffS.
Hubbell, Fitzsimmons, and
Schumacher were in that daring
band of raiders which cut short
the series three years ago to five
games, much to the. chagrin OF
the boy manager, Joe Cronin, who
could have sobbed out his heart.
George Davis is still around, as
are also Outfielders Joe Moore and
Mel OFT. So is Catcher Gus Man
cuso. All the others Of the "a and

who is hanging around solely as a
coach.
