BY BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

A month ago, thirty days vaca'
tion seemed long time, but now
back at the office typewriter, thai
thirty days seems to have LASTED
scarcely more than a weekend a
the coast.
To relate all the things that hap
pened during the month which the
office staff enjoyed my absence
would be boring to even the most
interested person, the Bench
Warmer, so I will swing back to the
daily routine and forget everything
especially the sunburn.
| managed to get good look al
Coast league baseball during the
soiourn on the coast and l returned
to the valley convinced that my first
guess is still the best.
The guess, for the benefit oi
those who through oversight missed
nv first prediction, is that San
Diego will win the loop crown.
Watching the Padres in action
against the Los Angeles Angels a
couple or weeks ago proved to me
that the San Diego team is headed
toward the league championships
Tiny Jim Chaplin, who was the
problem child of the Padres III
early season play, has returned to
form and can be counted on to pul
forth his best efforts.
Chaplin sulked in the early sea-
son games after Lane refused to sci
him to Pittsburgh. But in the l.. A
series he was in the thick of every
battle, including some fisticuffine
Ruppert Thompson, who came
with Chaplin to the Padres in eX-
change for Vince DiMaggio is an
other reason the Padres are headec
for the top spot.
Thompson is hitting 370 and i:
the finest outfielder in the circuit
He can also fill in at first bast
as was demonstratedin Frisco last
week against the Missions.
Thompson throws the fear of Goo
into the base runners with his gooo
right arm. In the l.. A. series alone
he cut off at least a dozen run:
with perfect pegs to the bases.
The San Diegoans further boost
ed their hopes last week When they
won six out of seven games from
the Missions in San Diego.
They can't be beaten on theil
home diamond and they're Win
ming consistently on the road at the
present time.
The reason-The Padres have the
finest pitching staff in the league
with Craghead Salvo, Chaplin
Ward, Hebert, Pillette, Gonzalez
and Shellen back, and boast one OF
the hardest hitting clubs in the
loop. Their infield is above aver
age defensively and their outfield
is the class of AA baseball.

LONG PLOTTED.
TRUSTY OPINES.
G-Men Arrive by Plane
To Direct Search

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.
u.N.S0 S0.-G-men swarmed here by
plane today to crack" the mys-
terry surrounding the sensational
escape from. Alcatraz Of Ralph
Roe and Ted Cole, Oklahoma
desperadoes.
Since 1880 p. m. last Thursday
when the two long term convictS
vanished from the American
"Devil's Island" numerous false
clues, have sent the FBI sleuthS
on wild goose" chases.
The most promising tip de-
veloped from an ex-Alcatraz
prisoner. Manuel Limas, who said
Roe and Cole had plotted their
escape as long ago as in May,
1885.
HAD "OUTSIDE AID"
Limas, a truSty on Alcatraz,
serving a term for breaking Army
rules, was one of 80 Army prison
ers who remained several months
after it had been converted into
q Federal prison.
Limas, now in the San Fran
cisco county Jail, awaiting trans
fer to McNeil's Island, for viola
tion of his parole. declared Cole
and Roe had outside aid in their
escape. He worked alongside Cole
for several weeks.
"He tried to enlist my aid"
Limas told M. ]. L. Pieper, head
of the San Francisco FBI
office. "He told me his out
side contacts would arrange to
have a boat waiting for him a
foggy day" LimaS continued.
"He said he would make the
break just after the noon check
up
These details Of LimaS' story
checked with the actual escape OF
Roe and Cole.
TRAINED FOR BREAK
Limas told Pieper the escaped
convicts probably received aid
from q civilian employe, probably
a guard. He intimated one civil
ian worker carried messages to the
mainland for convicts despite the
rigorous rules to prevent outside
contact.
Omen are still clinging to the
theory that Roe and Cole are still
alive, but Warden James A. John
Eton of Alcatraz was still firm in
his belief that Roe and Cole
drowned.
1t was disclosed Roe and Cole
accustomed themselves to cold
water. During their recreational
periods they stood under ice-cold
showers for prolonged periods and
toughened themselves with. ardu-
GUS exercise.

SIMMONS SOLD
TO WASHINGTON

LAKELAND, Fla, April 10. - Al
Simmons, who cost the Detroit Tig-
ers $4,000 and a big salary for one
seasons work, has gone to the
Washington Senators at bargain
price.
Manager Mickey Cochrane, who
bought Simmons from the White
Sox late in 1885, refused to disclose
the price placed on his friend and
companion of Championship days
on the Philadelphia Athletics, but
all Tiger camp followers were agreed
it wasn't much.
Estimates on the sale price ranged
from $500 to $4,000 for the out
fielder who hit we'll over 300 for
twelve of his thirteen years in major
league baseball.
Cochranes purchase of Simmons
after the Tigers had won the world
championship in 1885 never set
well with the team. Although SIM
mons batted 324 last season, he
started poorly. His loss of speed
after long stardom caused frequent
comparison with Joyner White, the
fleet center fielder benched when
Simmons arrived.
