He Smashed Illusions.

A L SMASHED a great many un-
\ fattering illusions when he joined
the Senator's down South, just as Ben
Chapman did when he first reported
to Washington. The Griffs found he
was very human sort of a guy, after
all. and when he couldn't buy base
hit at the start Of the season they
found this fellow with a lifetime av-
erage Of .345 worrying as much as
the veriest rookie.
Some Of the Mats, after a while,
ventured opinions as to what he was
doing wrong. They found that AL
listened attentively and that he didn't
resent suggestion from some guys
whose peak year produced only .3l5
average.
In the end Simmons kept
swinging, and at press time he
still was swinging -. and with
more success, thank you. Didn't
he, in the final analysis, win the
Red Sox series?
The Simmons Of popular conception
could have sulked from the moment
he was sold from Detroit to WASH
ington. He could have gone into a
double sulk when the sale price of
$500 was announced. This was quite
let-down. And then he could have
mustered a pout when some Of the
writing boys who weren't able to see
him every day said in the public prints
that he wasn't hustling and was Just
waiting for his annuities to ripen.
But he didn't. AL can take it,

the race and they each collected $4,000
extra in the world series. And in De-
troit the guy was crucifed. The
Tigers were robbed of Greenberg and
Cochrane early in the chase and the
club was through. But misfortune
wasn't the reason Detroit lost the PEN
nant. 1t was because that SWELL
headed, staggering Simmons was
thrust among the boys who believed
in the spirit Of amateurism and
weren't interested in winning for the
sake Of what they could pick up in a
world series.
Al 1t was who was the deep
rooted weed that poisoned mo-
rale and spirit.
Al could take it. OF to {, miserable
start, he wound up with 1927 batting
average and he drove across ll2 runs.
Millions Of words were written about
Joe Di Maggie in 1885 and his feats
were lauded. Well, Di Maggie drove
across 125 runs on team that broke
a score OF batting records, including
995 runs batted in, and on a club that
won the flag by 1872 games. Sim

BERLIN, Jan. % ON.SO-His-
tory no doubt record as amazing
the gigantic rearmament Of Ger
many and rebuilding of treaty
limited army into a mighty Eu-
ropean war machine as accom-
plished by Adolf Hitler in his first
four years Of rule.
A million crack goose-stepping
soldiers, mighty and fast-groW-
ing warfleet o: modern fighting
ships Of every type and an air
nrce of mysterious but much
AIRED strength rose speedily in
Alat space of four years from the
miniature Reichswehr created by
the late General Won Seeckt under
the limitations Of the Versailles
treaty.
It struck not only new anxiety
into the European camp, but swept
aside also the cumbersome and top
heavy Nazi party troops Of various
categories threatening to suffocate
or interfere with state and army
functions.
Once Hitler had absolute power
and had set his mind on smashing
the Versailles treaty, the show
down for control between some g.
100000 Nazi troops and the regular
army became inevitable.
The explosion came June 30,
1884. Over-zealous or super-ambi-
tious Nazi storm troops leaders
like Capt. Ernst Roehm, Karl
Ernst and Edmund Heines were
plunged suddenly into their graves.
Step by step Hitler fused the
police organizations into one ma
tional, highly efficient police ma
chine under Himmler, and he dis
solved the undesirable or adamant
organizations and clubs such as
the Steelhelmets, student societies,
and civic groups, just as he wiped
out opposition political parties and
muzzled the press.
AS party rule in state and pub
lie affairs dwindled more and
more into the background, there
became obvious once more the
rising influence Of the military
elements.
After four years of Hitler, the
German army, navy, and air force
equal the best. Conscripts must
serve two years, and their train
ing is said to be even more ef-
fective and practical than that of
the imperial army of 1914.
The navy, granted the right by
the Anglo German naval pact to
35 per cent of the British fleet, is
growing fast, and 1887 should add
some SIS new ships of all categories
to the German navy.
