1t is my very confident belief,
or perhaps I should say hope, that
many of our people will live to
see the "silver lining" in the dark
cloud of the depression that has
so long enveloped them. It will
show not only in the immediate
benefits that accrue through work
that has saved from catastrophe.
It will reflect more brightly in the
results that follow certain inspira-
tons directly due to hardships en-
dured and remedied, that have,
like the mother of necessity, grown
out Of them; that spiritual sense
that reveals that man lives, not by
bread alone; that finer things wait
upon ambition; upon opportunities
that may be commanded when one
possesses the knowledge and the
courage when to seize the priced
moments and grasp them. -
I have not today either the time
or space to enumerate them all.

pathy which was additionally or
iginated of our poor circumstances,
economically, which has to do with
careless reign or leniency over the
young.
The first little things we shall
observe, is the mother who pays
little or no attention to leaving
money around the room, where the
child is being tempted to buy
candy. "Lead US not to tempta-
ton" These little things lead to
larger ones. There is little re-
striction being enforced by parent
in the Twentieth century. Mothers
ask everybody from the milk man
to the groceryman where are the
children? Our children stay at
other peoples homes more than
their own. When we are ready to
use restriction it is too late. If
we want them to stay home some
after they are grown up we had
better start when they are young.

casion to do the right thing at the

was Israel to be restored? Jesus
said, "It is not for you to know

these little things in the presence

speak up and say:
"At this moment you are

You have right-Of-way over

Newsom Still
Haunted By
De|usii0nS
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

Nv FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
ORLANDO, Fla, March 16.
While debating the moot question
of whether or not Buck" Newsom
needs a guardian armed with a
stout club or equipped with a
straight jacket, / find myself won
dering what purpose a manager
serves in these spring training
trips.
Is the manager to direct only
the rockies and let the overgroWn
children known as veterans shift
for themselves?
Frankly, after the display OF in
difference by Harris yesterday at
the nonsensical pitching Of Buck
Newsom, your agent Is prepared to
throw up his hands.
He Cuts Loose
NeWsom has been around long
enough to have a certain amount
of common sense. But Newsom,
as is known to one and all, is
haunted by delusions Of greatness
and Super-ability. He thinks he
can do things that no mortal man
can do and live in major league
baseball. He went out in a six
inning regular -Yannigan game yes
terday and pitched as if his job
hung in the balance. He has been
here less than a week.
"He won't be much faster in
mid-seasOn," said one Of the vet
eran pitchers as we sat in the
left field bleacherS and watched.
"He won't be as fast in mid
season if he keeps up that nom
sense" said another pitcher who
had a good season last year.
The hitterS belted Newsom as
if they owned him Ray PhebuS
whaled one off Bucks gloved hand.
Lewis hit a screecher into right.
Kuhel tripled to right center.
Sington banged one into the
bushes. Stone cracked one into
right.
He Licks Browns
NewSom, fumlng and fretting,
threw everything he had. and
sooner or later-much later to be
ruthful-retired the side. Harris,
so far as this writer knows, did
not tell NewSom to accumulate
himself and slow down in his stuff,
saving his arm for more important
assignments.
This is very battling, indeed, for
while the Hartsville headache may
or may not be a great pitcher, at
least he is q pitcher. He did man
age to beat the Browns six times
last year.
Well, let's step into other and
less critical fields. Bucky Harris
has decided that Dick Lanahan
will be one Of the pitchers against
the New York Giants, who will
wheel into Orlando for the West
Coast tomorrow. The probabilities
are that Lanahan, DeShong and
Appleton will do the pitching for
Washington against the New York
team.
Buddy Myer still is handicapped
by a stiff neck, and is not able to
do his full measure of work in the
mornings. In the meanwhile OsSie
Bluege and Johnny Mihalic are
holding down the keystone in fine
style.
It is always a pleasure to watch
Bluege perform. He goes about his
work with the smooth assurance
of a player who knows all the
answers, and is not flustered by
pressure Of the moment.
Roberto EStalella, the cuban kid
was in town last night. He drove
over from Sanford with Calvin
Griffith.
Cecil Travis has made five hits
in six times at bat in two games
here, and that seems to be about
as good as any one could do.
