British Give
Few Hints

Parents. parties and puppy-dogs are
described as either genial or stuffy and

YOH . i" True, the slang Of gang
sters and New York East Siders has
crept into the cinema enough to have
the English muttering mildly about be-
ing on-the-spot, but they have not yet
reached our stage of using every new
word from play, radio script or novel
that happens to strike the fancy. Fur
thermore, they would not be likely to
write songs or stories on the basis OF
an expression like you've got some
thing there"
The answer to this may be. in part,
that the sense of humor differs greatly
and yet this Is not completely SO.
The British sense of humor is as sub
tie, as cutting, as timely as ours; an
Englishman will grin as broadly at
Peter Arno drawing as any New
Yorker but their tendency to-
ward mimicry, or what you will, Is
not as rife as that OF their western
friends.
Constant Use Of Superiatives

superlatives. 1t appears that we re-

 The appeal comes from Shirley Jackson Hardaway. 1885 West 52d Street, Chicago, H., and addressed to The Empire says
 During the past year I have made numerous unsuccessful at tempts, through various sources. to locate the whereabouts of my miss ing brother, so I am writing to you in the hope that you may be in a position to give me some assist ance.
 The last word received from him was a letter written to our mother, Mrs. Harley D. Jackson, Box 333, Biwabik, Minnesota, in May, 1886. This letter was posted from Everett, Washington. in which he wrote of his intention to proceed to Seattle, Wash, and from there work his way by boat to Alaska.

BASKETBALL SUGGESTION
If Center Jump Abolished, Game Should Be
 Made Shorter
----ByPap

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 15.-If the center jump in basket ball is abolished, the game should be made shorter.
 This observation in the long winded controversy over the tapoff comes from Harold Miller, Uni versity of Utah forward, who also writes sports in his spare time for a Salt Lake City newspaper.
 Miller says if the center jump is eliminated, the playing time should be reduced from 20 minutes to Is minutes per period to safe guard health of the players.
 Junking of the iump, Miller thinks, would speed up the game at the expense of the players health"
 That momentary rest between basket and center jump means a lot to the player" he says. Also it makes for more organized, less pell mell, haphazard play by giv- ing the players precious seconds to pull themselves together for the next bit of concerted action"

It's difficult to take the Brook lyn ball club seriously even though Business Manager John German insists the Dodgers are at least 20 per cent better than last year and Manager Burleigh Grimes thinks they'll win five more games than the seventh -placers did in 1886.
 But to the analysis of baseball, there is considerable individual mer- it strung out along the Brooklyn front.

The rumor is that Brooklyn would mt swap Mungo for the Cardin- als' Dizzy Dean-even Stephen.

the amateurs" around the keystone bag cost him at least five games.
 The Brooklyns have one of those rare, overstuffed clouting catchers Ernest Gordon (Baoe) Phelps, who pounded the apple to the tune of .367 in 115 games last season. Grimes is downright enthusiastic over the Babes backstopping which has improved with advice from Burleigh.
 Phelps reported to the Brooks Clearwater, Fla, training camp with 20 pounds melted off his huge frame, scaling in at 216. Naturally, with all this heft, the Babe has a distinctly individual style of back stopping, but he doesn't mop up as much dust as does Cincinnati's Ernie Lombardi, for instance.
 The Brooklyns have Eddie Wilson back in shape, showing no ill ef- fects from the skull fracture he suffered when struck by Pitcher Mace Brown in Pittsburgh last Au- gust. Wilson, called in from AL lentown last mid-season, was sen- sation at bat in the National league until Brown laid him low. Eddie batted at a BOA clip in 54 games for Allentown and BAT in 52 games for Brooklyn against National league pitching.
 Wilson is either extremely hard shelled or he is one of the gamest guys in baseball. Two years ago in the N. Y.-Penn State league he was kayoed at the plate by Joe Shoffner. Next time Wilson faced Shoffner he got triple. That's Burleigh Grimes kind of ball player.
