The great st. Louis pitching star,

the gas housers will have little or no
trouble with their one-man ball club.
Dizzy has discovered at the early age
of 26 that base ball is pretty big busi-

~ HOW me boy who likes to
play base ball and youn
show me a boy who more
~ than likely has the makings
of a good American" said Horace
Lineberg, lieutenant of Washington
police, yesterday before a group of
sports scribblers at a luncheon. In
my time on the force, I've run across
all kinds Of boys and I've found that
most of those with a fondness for
base ball are pretty regular kids"
Lneberg was talking not as q
police lieutenant, but as commander
of the American Legion of the depart
ment of the District Of Columbia, an
Office he has filled with distinction.
He was asking the support Of the
people of Washington for the Junior
Legion base ball movement sponsored
by the World War veterans organiza-
ton
"As closely as base ball is
related to America, 50 is the
promotion Of the game among
the boys of the Nation to the
cultivation and development Of
Americanism," Linebery de-
clared.
So the American Legion believes.
With its Junior Legion base ball Or
ganized on a national basis it en-
deavors to make better Americans
of the youngsters as well as provide
them with recreation OF q healthful
as well as interesting nature.

By then you had decided these fell
lows didn't speak your language. Or
vice versa. You decided to turn
translator. In the process it de-
veloped that base ball jargon, like
everything else, is moving ahead.
Gone arc the days, fr in

an "Ariie Latham" or a high
pop fly "can of corn" or

The possibility Italy might quit the

the outgrowth of authoritative Italian
charges that France had "fagrantly
violated" it, allowing aid to be sent
to the Madrid-Valen government.
Britain and France would act to
isolate the Balkans from Italy only

said, as they are not anxious to at
