TUESDAY, OCT.12, 1887
By E0alyn Walsh Mclean

No one in this country that know of deserves
more credit for time given up to the needy and
work done in every field to help the under dog
than does Mrs. Roosevelt.
Instead of sitting back in the White House and
devoting her time to social functions, Mrs Roose-
welt goes into the highways and byways un-
Selfishly giving of herself to aid those in need
This not easy to do but she does it with dignity
and charm that are really beautiful. don't think
we have ever had First Lady in the White House
with more natural dignity than Mrs. Roosevelt.
I admire her tremendously.
Elsie Robinson Aids Thousands
Then take Elsie Robinson, the writer She is
one person who could easily retire on her laurels
but instead she writes her daily article and helps
untold thousands of people every day with her
honesty, her courage and broad outlook on lfe
Dorothy Thompson is another remarkable
woman. She has keen, intelligent mind, writes
well and is delightful over the radio
And there are dozens of others could mention
who are making the world better place to live
in every day.
Personally, would not feel the least bit worried
if any of these American women were in the
White House.
And surely do wish we could borrow the three
Soong sisters to help Secretary Hull. Not that
he hasn't done good job up to now but I'm sure
he would appreciate the practical advice those
remarkable women could give him if we ever were
threatened with air raids such as they are endur-
ing in China.

no one can be sure that the side he is looking at

The first American industry to be hit by

advised to avoid the story, and did.
Most of what was related in these optimistic

regarded as seriously as the market manifesto

Hoover administration. If anyone is going to
spread optimism by statement, it will hereafter
be Mr. Roosevelt, not his assistants.

 The announcement was hailed with delight by sports followers, for Ensign, a former county commits sioner and a member of the first racing commission in this state, is we'll known and highly respected throughout Massachusetts.
 The acceptance of the position by Ensign. completes the roll of stew ards who will offlciate at what promises to be the greatest meeting in the history of the lovely little track. George Brown, Jr., national ly known turf official. will serve as chief steward, with Wilmer Brinton, Jr.. and MT. Ensign as his asso- ciates.

 Brinton, too, arrived here and was among the first to congratulate Ensign on his appointment. They are agreed that Agawam park will have at least 750 thoroughbreds quartered in the barns when the track opens, that the horses will be of far higher grade than those of a year ago, and and that the com petition for the $2O0,000 in purses should provide a brilliant meet ing.

Every scene of the thrilling sound-drama of the Kentucky Derby-from last-minute forecasts to the glad or sad aftermaths- twill be included in the broadcast over the lNBC-Blue, Network, Saturday, May 8: Five, apnouncers and, six engineers will cooperate, using seven microphoneS, to make this years broadcast of the American turf clas- sic the most vivid of all. ...
 The climax of the broadcast, which will be heard from 6:15 to TOO p. In., will be the tense two and a fraction minutes when the field of 3-year-old ariStocrats pounds its way over the mile and a quarter course. A parabolic microphone will pick up the hoof-beats as the horses come down the home stretch, and other microphones at the finish line will catch the frenzied shouts of the throng.
 But the broadcast will begin long before the microphones catch the roar of thousands of voices in the mighty chorus: They're off"
 Clem Mccarthy, NEG commenta- tor and turf authority, will head the staff of announcers who will begin their work by describing the scene and providing last-minute in- formation and forecasts. The sounds of the crowd, the hustle in the pad dock and other picturesque details which make Churchills Downs the mecca of turf fans will all come over the microphones. ..:'
 In addition to his preliminary broadcasts. Mccarthy will describe the running of the race from a booth atop the grandstand at the finish line.

WALKER GIVING
 GREAT SHOW AS A. |. STANDOUT
Detroit Out6eIder Using Head and Hands Tanks !

Rx GEoRGE KIRKsEY

New York, May 3-(UP)-Mad- cap Gerry Walker, whose basepath buffoonry used to keep him in the Detroit doghouse more often than in the lineup, has taken new lease on brains and has spark-plugged the Tigers to the top of the Ameri-, can league. i j. & .%
 The 28 year old outf1elder who found it easy to get on base, and do nothing right once he arrived, finally has hit his stride and can do no wrong.
 His work yesterday in pacing the Tigers to 6-5 win over the Chi- cago White Sox was a sample. His home run in the seventh broke a 5-5 deadlock that gave the Tigers victory. It was his third hit for perfect day at bat. His other two safeties were singles. He drew one base on balls, stole one base. scored three runs and drove in two.
 Standout '.-re
 His batting average of .588 tops every other mapor leaguep layer. His 20 hits and 12 runs thus far lead all players in both leagues. With Il runs batted in Walker is topped only by Johnny Mize of the St. Louis Cardinals with 12, and his three home runs are one less than the quartet of circuit clouts collected by Bob Johnson of the Athletics.
 The New York Yankees dorpped from the lead before the largest, crowd of the major league season. 52,150. They took a 5- licking from the Boston. Red Sox. Broaca's tumble let the winning run come home in the ninth. A five run rally in the ninth inning gave the Wash ington Senators a 10-7 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics. Cleveland at St. Louis was rained out.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates took over first place in the National league by handing the Cincinnati Reds thei reighth defeat in nine starts, H2. The St. Louis Cards lost their second straight to the Chicago Cubs, Al. Bill Lee turned back St. Louis with three hits.
 Van Mungo also twirled three hit game, striking out nine Phila- delphia Phillies while the Dodgers triumphed, 5-1. Rookie Cliff Mel ton famed nine, and allowed the Boston Bees four safeties as the New York Giants won, 3e1.
 YESTERDAYS HERO: Gerry Walker, the boy who used to do everything wrong, did everything right to put the Tigers in the Amer ican league lead.
