Some minor leagues, including

gan their seasons last week, but the
first day of play in the American

Forty thousand are expected to
see the New York Giants play the
Brooklyn Dodgers at the Polo
Grounds, and $500 to attend the
Boston Possibilities game at Phil
adelphia.
Washington, where the Yankees
meet the Senators, will occupy the
ceremonial nigh spot, with President
Roosevelt tossing out the first ball.
Cubs, Tigers Favored
The two pennant races are packed
with impending drama. The Chi
cago Cubs and Detroit Tigers are
betting favorites at 8-5 to repeat.
The National League managers pre-
dict q tense race between the Cubs
and Cardinals. The American
League managers pick the Tigers,
but admit that the race is likely to
be thrilling four-club affair.
The new inter sectional schedules
may have vast effect on the pen
nant races. Each club is to make
four intersectional trips, playing on
a 1882 basis. Under the new
schedule, tremendous handicap
will be placed on pitchers. Man
ayers may have trouble rotating
their pitchers and getting the max
imum results.

Of flesh or to stop the charge Of a
quarry too strong to be overcome by
the edged weapon. The pistol is fired
from trigger in center of the long
spear handle.
Another freak. weapon is an old
English naval flintlock, which fires
four barrels simultaneously.
The gun was designed for close
range fighting and the barrels fire a
spreading charge. The weapon obvi-
ously had kick strong enough to
break the wrist of an ordinary man.
1t was made to repel boarders in sea
warfare.
Parezo owns a pair Of seven bar

by an admiral Of the British Navy,

The barrels twist with firing CLEANERS
and the guns obviously were the fore
runners of the modern revolver.
Pistol and Bayonet.
Still other antique pistols are
equipped with bayonets or hatchets,
attached to the barrel.
Another oddity is a combination
pistol and dagger employing the same
butt or handle.
A pair of the first successful breech-
loading pistols is one of Parezo's
priced possessions. The fintlocks were
designed by Maj. Patrick Ferguson
OF the list Regiment, I'd Highland
Light Infantry. who was mortally
wounded in 1880 while fighting for the
British at the battle of Kings Noun

Breech-loaders had been expert

THE story of fine firearms begar
with those gentlemen who
sailed to the conquest Of g

Columbus caravels.
They had discarded most Of their
armor and were refining the clumsy
guns Of their fathers. The new age
demanded something better than the
edged weapon and the clumsy cross
bow Of the passing feudal system.
The American Indians encountered
by the early adventures could looSe
20 ratal arrows while a European
soldier was winding back his steel
bow. The civilized white men were
obliged to perfect their weapons.
This, at any rate, is the theory oi

The House Naval Committee paved
the way today for legislation to permit
the building Of two new battleships if
and when President Roosevelt sees
need for them.
The proposed measure would au-
thorize the laying of two keels next
year, as recommended recently by Ad-

Secretary of the Navy, If such con-
struction appeared to the Chief Ex-
ecutive to be warranted.
Standley was said to have told the
President that the estimated sum of
between $8o,0O0,o00 and 100000, 900
needed for the huge craft would not
be required Immediately. He said ap-
proximately S4,000,0OO would be need

BUSINESS CHIEFS
FAVOR LANDON

2-to.1 Favorite-vote
Against New Deal.

A decided reversal of the psychol-
ogy of defeat heretofore manifest
among opponents of President Roose-
velt was revealed today in straw
vote among business men attending
the annual convention of the Cham
ber of Commerce Of the United
States.
Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas
was an almost to l choice of the
business leaders for the Republican
presidential nomination, with Sena-
tor Vandenberg Of Michigan second
and former President Hoover, Sena-
tor Borah and Col. Frank Knox trail
Ing far behind.
That the preponderance of senti-
ment would be anti-New Deal was no
more than expected in view Of past
expressions from members and lead
ers of the chamber.
The question, do you think Presi-
dent Roosevelt can be defeated in
the general election this year?" was
answered almost to l in the affirm
ative, drawing many very firm replies
and the expressed desire of many
business men for a vigorous fight
against the administration.
WatchfuI Waiting.
Six Of the business men polled in
the straw vote conducted in the con-
vention halls said they were Demo-
Gratis. Two were for President Roose-
welt, one was against him and the
other three preferred to wait and see
what happens"
The vote on opinion as to whether
President Roosevelt will be defeated
follows:
Yes-24.
No-10.
Undecided-4
Anything is possible"-2.
Democratic business man pro-
claimed his support for Senator VAN
denburg, while Republican was for
"any one who can win"
you can't fool all the people all
the time" an executive replied in
voting affirmatively on whether Mr..
Roosevelt would be defeated.
One of the Landon voters felt the
Kansas Governor had "only a fight
ing chance" A Vandenberg sup
porter felt the same way about his
favorite.
Calls for Open Mind.
The need for IAN open mind on
the entire question" was stressed by
George Helbert of the Baltimore Op-
tical Co. in commenting on the ques-
tionS submitted.

staunch opponent, "is going to get a
big kick IN the Stats at the polls and
he will be very surprised the morning
after"
Several of the leaders Of commerce
and industry openly condemned "the
defeatist attitude" on the part of
Republicans, anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis and others opposed to the ad-
ministration and added now is the
time to fight"
H. E. V. Porter of jamestown, N. Y,
Republican State legislator during the
two terms of Mr.. Roosevelt as Gov
ernor of the Empire State, contended
that several Of the administrations
policies were going to bring about
reversals and complications.

 WAR GAS FEARS
Dusts in Unprotected In- dustries Cause More
 Deaths Than Gas

New Haven, Conn.,, (UP)-Dust in industries, which are not prop erly protected against 1t, causes more casualties each year than an attack of any known gas on New York city could possibly do, Dr. Yandell Henderson, professor of applied physiology at Yale uni- verMty, and international author ity on war gases, declared in an interview here.
 Tt would require large and extremely well-organized fleet of { aircraft to carry 100000 tons of war gases. Yet this amount of gas dropped on New York city would do relatively little damage, while similar amount of high explosives would play havoc, killing thousands If not hundreds of thousands" said the man who is | credited with having saved more liveo of American troops during the World war than any other living man.
 Rock Drillers PeriIed
 Dust in industries which in- yolve tunneling, the drilling of hard rock, and the use of asbestos on the other hand is causing hun dreds of cases of silicosis an- nualy," Dr. Henderson said. "This ailment usually develops into tu- berculosis and frequently com- pletely disables or brings death to its victim.
 "The Germans gas attacks upon London during the war effectively demonstrated the futility of war gases in offensive warfare against the civilian population" he de- , clared. Enormous quantities of war gases including mustard gas were dropped on London during these attacks, yet the only cas- ualties resulting were few blis- ters, whereas a comparatively small quantity of Nigh explosives dropped on the city during air at tacks caused hundreds of fatali- ties"
 Replying to questions about new war gases which have been announced from time to time, Dr. Henderson, who is 8 member o1 the consulting board on gas war fare of the United States and a world-renoWned authority on the subject, said, Tt is impossible to tell under laboratory conditions how a gas will react in the field.
 Believes War Gas Adequate
 q find it hard, however" he said, ito imagine any new char acteristics or qualities which would be wanted In a gas. We already have gases with all the character istics which military people know how to use. War gases are of two types. The first is clasSed as @ pulmonary irritant such as chlor- inc, the first gas used by the Ger mans; and phosgene. These gases make men extremely sick, cause their disqualification for months and sometimes cause death. but they are nevertheless the easiest gases to combat in defense. Phos- gene is not so easily combated but with good gas mask, soldiers or civilians need have no fear ot 1t.
 "The other types are blistering gases such as mustard gas, which makes 1t impossible to inhabit any stricken area. Civilian popu- lations could protect themselves against both types, suffering (but few casualties, by simply going indoors and carefully closing all doors and windows until the gas had blown away or dissipated it. self"
