LIKELY THIS WEEK
Hill in Line for Trial at Post.
Mats Will Battle Tigers
TODAY.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
1t = n Corraenop pJapt of The ct r


-AMPA, Fla, April 3.-With the
identity of WaShington'S right
field occupant still conjec-
i tural subject, the Nationals
tomorrow will open their final week
Of training in Florida by moving to
Lakeland to face the Tigers.
Next Thursday, Immediately after
a farewell game with Chattanooga at
Orlando, the GriffS and their South
ern Association farm hands will
board a special train and begin their
trek northward. First stop will be
Chattanooga for a two-day stand
against the LOokOutS. Thereafter the
Mats will visit Atlanta and Gastonla
before arriving in Washington on
April a to open a short series of
exhibition games.
This will be featured by renewal
of warfare with the Tigers, who will
be played three times Following to-
morrow's game in Lakeland the Mats
will return to Orlando to play the
Cards on Monday and Detroit on Tues
day. Another jaunt to Lakeland for
a Tiger game will be made on We'd
nesday and on Thursday will come
the finale.
In this brief period Manager Bucky
Harris is likely to choose from among
Right Fieders Freddy Smgton, Taft
Wright and Jesse Hill, two of whom
already have received chances in what
looms as the clubs only dubious spot.
Hill has yet to get starting chance,
but Harris is expected to use him
regularly if Sington and Wright fail
to deliver. Bucky's choice next week
undoubtedly will be kept in the line
up until after the American League
opens.

hit trees and dropped into bad lies.
Right off the bat at the first hole he
hit a tree with his tee shot trying
a big carryover bunker. At the
seventh he hit a tree and dropped
into a ditch, losing two shots with
a six on an easy par four hole. He
came home in par 36, but the damage
had been done.
It is remarkable thing how Bob
Jones pulls 'em, no matter whether
he's scoring 66 or rs. Bob drew the
biggest gallery today-some $500 per-
sons who watched him put together a
good 73, his best effort of the current
tourney. But it was far behind the
scoring of the pros, whom he used
to lick with ease.
Bob took two penalty shots on the
ninth hole, tough par affair, which
didn't add to the enjoyment OF the
partisan Jones gallery. He is paired
tomorrow with Gene Sarazen, who
also is playing for peanuts. Even
another double eagle won't do Gene
any good, for he's used 227 shots so
far, which puts him l8 strokes behind

" lery of the day, Guldahl, the
colorless leader, who stands sixth in

January /, pulled only handful of
people to see him score 36--32 for
the &c. which puts him at the top
of the parade and probably will win
him the tournament. Jones, in
his winning days, always
claimed the third round was the i'm
portant one. That being the case,
Guldahl should win. He really put
on the pressure today with four
under par So where it counts.
Guldahl bagged four brides in that
par-busting march over the last nine,
three of 'em in a row. The hoWls
that arose from the vicinity of the
four home holes sounded like a world
series batting spree. That small gal
lery made up in volume what it lacked
in numbers as Guldahl birdied the
18th, 18th and 18th in row His
putt for a bird from feet barely
missed at the home hole.
AS the tournament stands tonight
Bob Jones probably will draw the
crowd tomorrow, but about 10 other
guys will be scrapping to whip
Guldahl.

He has spent months working

one who rounded up Republi-

Hamilton Fish.
The Panay bombing incident
furnished the necessary final
impetus. Word was spread
in the House that this means
should be taker to prevent the
President from pulling war
rabbit out of the hat to cover
the existing business depres-
sion.
The fact that he disregarded
the neutrality act was used
heavily also to induce Congress
men to sign away their right to
declare war
Many signer salved his con-
science with the self-aSSurance
that the scheme could not pos
sibly be adopted in the end.
Most Of the politicos looked
upon it solely as an opportunity
to make a little personal char
acter with the peace people or
to embarrass the President.
ITO GIVE you an idea of how
L much thought went into the
war referendum drive:
The proponents worked for
weeks gathering the 218 sigma
lures necessary to discharge the
Rules Committee before they
discovered the resolution also
must be removed from the
House Judiciary Committee.
They had a few bad moments
before the House parliamenta-
rian assured them privately that
the discharge petition, while
mentioning the Rules Committee
specifically, was broad enough
to cover the recalcitrance of the
Judiciary Committee.
One Republican member from
the East had particularly hard
time on the war referendum.
He had announced during his
campaign that he was for it,
because it sounded like it was
against war. When he got on
the ground here he learned it
was not as simple as that be-
cause it proposed a delay and
an inconceivable amount of red
tape in the declaration of wars,
and thus might endanger the
country.
He served notice he was
against it, and wrote some let
ters to that effect. This caused
the referendum people to do a
little missionary work back in
his home district. They
prompted letters from constitu-
ents recalling what he said on
the stump. He signed.

History Might Repeat

Is there any significance in
this fact that with the sinking
of the U. s. s. Panay in Chinese
waters recently that history
might be in the throes of staging
a repeat performance?
Americans readily recall that
the United States became in
volved in our last two major
conflicts, due to the sinking Of
our vessels
The question of the moment:
Will the Panay sinking bode a
similar unpleasantnesS?
Accepted that our people are
deeply stirred over this Incl
dent wherein American lives
and property was ruthlessly de-
stroyed by an overt act on the
part of the Mikado's airmen in
and around Nanking we can
but trust in our President to
avert a national crisis.
There is definite reason to
believe our differences with
Spain in 1898 were being ironed
out successfully through diplo-
matte negotiations when the big
blow-off happened and the U. S:
S Maine came to its requiem
at the bottom in Havana harbor.
National feelings were stirred
and war was the consequence OF
that predatory act.
Another extraordinary angle
is that these sinkings seem to
occur in cycles of 20 years or
thereaboutS. A score Of years
passed in the interim between
the Maine and Lusitania TRACE
dies and now another score Of
years has divided the period
since the Imperial German gov
ernment marked for prey the
queen of the Atlantic in 1916.

suddenly he lost his grip,

Finally his worried wife per.
Suaded him to go to a top

doc thumped him over had
several long, rambling chats
with him. then said
"There's just one thing thatll
fix up people like you, and
that's-prayer."
My friend was amazed. He
wasn't a churchman-knew the
doctor wasn't, either.
"That doesn't matter" said
the doctor. I'm not talking
from a religious angle. Simply
as a psychological exercise,
prayer is the most powerful
medicine for sick minds.
Trouble with you Americans

terests outside yourselves to
keep you in balance. ConSe-

it that way.
For example, a short right jab
to the legislative ribs was de-
ivered in the clinch over the
White House idea of curtailing
highways expenditures the other
day. No one noticed the blow.
1t travelled only four lines in the
Congressional Record.
There, however, you will find
a record that after three weeks
of patiently waiting in vain, the
President has proposed his own
curtailment legislation, word for
word, ready for Congress to pass
it. The V. P. and Speaker on De-
cember IA presented the draft,
and a letter from Agriculture
Secretary Wallace, and referred
it to a committee, where it is
sure to get a more or less decent
burial.
Legislators smiled. Ordinarily,
when the President wants legis-
lation, he induces a Congress
man to propose it, or at least
submits it in a message himself,
attracting attention.
This one was slipped in.
X y X
IT proposes that Mr.. Wallace
l. be relieved of the obligation
of allocating $125,o00,000 Of
Federal highway funds to the
States in the next fiscal year.
AS you may have heard, Con-
gress does not intend to do it.
Mr.. R. said in his message No
vember 81 he wanted the legisla-
ton. All he received was a series
of astonished ShriekS. After all,
this is a time when Congress-
men must think primarily of re-
election next year, or where
would they be. It is amazing
but true that not a single Con-
gresham introduced legislation
to carry out the Presidents
idea.
The Roosevelt to Wallace to
Garner-Bankhead triple play will
make no difference. Congress
will not economic on road funds
under any circumstances.
Note-Apparently the Presi-
dents idea was merely to shove
the legislation in quietly, SO no
Congressman could claim here
after that nothing official was
presented upon which to vote.
