Languages of Nations

Switzerland is not the only nation
having more than one official Ian
guage. Palestine has three recog-
nized tongues, English, Hebrew and
Arabic. Actually more than one
language is spoke in every country
in Europe but one. Portugal is the
only nation having a single Ian
guage. In Asia, India has 22O dis
tinct vernacular languages. But
even with four languages Swift
zerland is not finished, says the
Washington Post. There is still one
more obscure dialect called Ladin,
spoken by small group of people.

could not supply the trade. With
this single book, which was a COM

and catechism, parents could teach
their children the minimum require

Speaking of Sports
Yates Got Golf
Start Trailing
Bobby Jones
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

THE worlds golfing capital
1 moved back to Atlanta, Ca,
when young Charley Yates, twenty
four-year-old bank teller Of Bobby
Jones' home town, won the British
Amateur Golf championship at St.
Andrews, Scotland, by beating Cecil
Ewing, giant Irishman, and became
the sixth American golfer in the
history of the tournament to reach
the title match.
This casual young fellow, sole sur
vivor of eight American lads who
comprised the Walker cup team,
has. publicly attributed his success
to a suit of red fannels sent him
by Bobby Jones and an antique putt
er purchased for a dollar from an
Atlanta caddy. But those who
watched him battle his way to vic
tory through some of the classiest
golfing talent in the universe, say
that he is champion in every sense
of the word.
Nine times, during the week of
the matches, he set out from the
first tee and nine times he returned
from the finishing green without los
ing a match. The silver champion
ship cup given into his keeping in
the name of the Royal and Ancient
Order of St. Andrews thus goes back
with him to Atlanta, where Bobby
Jones first took it eight years ago.
On the last three visits of an
American Walker Cup team mem
Der of it has won the British title.
Thus Charley Yates name goes on
the cup below those of Jess Sweet
ser, who won it in 1926, Bobby Jones
who won it in 1880 and Lawson Little
who won it in 1894 and '35.

 The world champions landed six men on the 1888 squad but for once it won't be dominated by Yankee sluggers. Most of its power will be supplied by the four men each from Boston and Detroit, three each from Cleveland and Washington and one from Philadelphia, Chica- go and St. Louis.
 Of the six Tanks nominated only Joe DiMaggio was sure to be in the starting lineup. Five hitters rank ahead of DiMaggio in the averages and three pitchers have records better than Charley Ruffing.
 Standouts
 Among the siege gun hitterS were Earl Averill, Clevelands veteran outfielder who now leads both leagues with an average of .39O, Cecil Travis, Washington shortstop, Jimmy Foxx of Boston, Charley Gehringer, Detroit second baseman who has played in all five games, and Joe Cronin of Boston.
 All but Travis broke into last years game. Other newcomers in- cluded Vern Kennedy and Rudy York of Detroit and C1eveland's schoolboy fastballer, Bob Teller.

 New York, June 27-The amazing Cincinnati Reds came up within an- other surprise today when they landed five men of the National league all-star team for the fifth annual joust with an American league picked team at Cincinnati, Wednesday, July 6.
 The National league squad of 23 players, picked by written vote of the eight managers, was announced by President Ford Prick, The team will be managed by Bill Terry, New York Giants pilot. The honor goes to him automatically because he piloted last years National league champions. It will be the first time Terry has managed the National league All-stars.
 Cincinnatis five all-star players are Catcher Ernie Lombardi, Pitch- CTS Johnny Wander Nicer and Paul Derringer, First Baseman Frank Mccormick and Outflelder Ival Goodman. All are likely to partici- pate in the game unless Terry deems 1t unfair to work two pitchers from the same club.
 Two Rockies
 To the Reds also goes the honor of placing the only two rockies on the club, Wander Nicer of no-hit, no-run fame and Mccormick, the classy righthanded first baseman. Mccormick will play first base, mak- ing the first National league rookie ever to start the all-star game. If events preceding the game make it possible Wander Nicer is almost cer- tain to do three inning stretch. He may even be the starting pitcher, and certainly will if the fans senti- ments have anything to do with swaying Terry.
 The Chicago Cubs and New York Giants, the other two most serious pennant contenders, placed four men each on the squad. The Cubs landed Catcher Gabby Hartnett. also cer- tain to be the starting catcher; Pitcher Bill Lee. second Basemap Billy Herman and third Baseman Stan Hack. The Giants named were Pitcher Carl Hubbell, and Outfielder Joe Moore, Hank Leiber and Mel

.SANDE HORSES NOT ENTERED IN
 $5o,000 SPECIAL
War Admiral, Seabiscuit Expected to Meet at Suf=
 folk Downs Wednesday
BY ROBERT WEBB United Press Staff COrrespOndent)


 Boston, June 27.-UP)-It ap- peared today that War Admiral and Seabiscuit had scared away all other top-weighted nominees who had signified their intentions of running in the Massachusetts han dicap at Suffolk Downs on Wednes- day.
 The mile and one-eighth race looms as one of the turfs greatest attractions with Biscuit and the Ad- miral meeting for the first time al- though it was expected that Earl Sande would send either the Chief or Stagehand after the $50,000 purse. Pompoon, the leading two-year- old money winner of 1886, and Ane- roid were also regarded as likely starters in the Massachusetts which Seabiscuit won a year ago with Caballero II second and Fair Knightess third.
 Hot Going Word from New York is that the Chief and Stagehand, which ran 1-2 in the $20,000 added Brooklyn han dicap on Saturday, will decline the issue. Perhaps this is a sound de- cision on the part of Earl Sande, the trainer of the two three-year- olds owned by Maxwell Howard. Running the two colts too soon af- ter their brilliant Brooklyn handi- cap effort might be injurious. It is recalled that Rushaway, nicknamed "The Iron Horse" won two derbies on successive days as a three-year-old. Yet apparently the effort took too much out of Rushaway who has had trouble time.
 Both the Chief and Stagehand were weighted SO lightly in the Massachusetts that they would rate a royal chance of winning notWith- standing the presence of War Ad- miral and Seabiscuit. Stagehand, in at 107, whipped Seabiscuit a nose in the $1OO,OOO Santa Anita handi- cap. The Chief, in at 102, would take a lot of beating.
 Possibility
 Hal Price Headley's Menow, world record holder at six and one-half furlongs, is the hope of the three year-old division against the older horses. Whether the Kentucky colt can carry his speed over a mile and an eighth against the handicap stars is questionable but his impost of 107 gives him an outside chance. Mrs. Emil Denemark, whose stable has accounted for the major handi- caps of the Suffold Downs meeting, will send War Admiral and Finance after the rich stake. Finance won the Widener challenge cup in 1887 while War Admiral certainly rates a money chance.
 Other likely starters are Jock Whitney's Flying Scot. in with a feather of 101 pounds; Pelligroso 2d, a horse that beat Caballero II in South America; Busy K,( a superior mud runner; and Old Comrade, an old timer who hardly rates consid- eration.
 Although reports from the camps of War Admiral and Seabiscuit in- dicate that both horses are ready to race, Seabiscuit will be scratched If the track is not fast. George Woolf. who piloted Seabiscuit in the $l00,000 Santa Anita handicap, will ride the west coast horse in place of Red Pollard, who broke a leg exercising horse for friend last week. Charlie Kurtsinger, the flying Dutchman, will be astride War Ad- miral.

 CAPTURE GROWN
Win Over Manchester By ShutOut for State Title
 Makes Team Happy

Naugatuck, June 25.-Although memebrs of the Naugatuck high school baseball team each sported a gold baseball symbolical of their capturing of the state baseball championship, the knowledge that they won over Manchester in the finals Saturday to achieve the cham pionship was a possession of which they were prouder.
 Several hundred Naugatuck residents saw the Garnet nine, led by Frank Spec" Shea turn the tables by TO score at West Haven. Manchester had eded Naugatuck basketball team for the state hoop title several months previously and the triumph Saturday was sweet to the Garnet.
 Shea Stars
 Shea allowed only four hits and for six innings, Blanchard of Man chester held Nauagtuck scoreless, but in the seventh, Shea rapped out a homer with Lefty Farr on base, to give the Garnet the edge. Shea again rapped home run in the ninth after Mariana had scored and Czaplicki had reached first with Farrar on base to tally three more runs.
 Manchester threatened twice but Shea bore down with runners on base and left seven stranded. Blan- chard permitted eight hits and struck out 13 to l2 for Shea. It was a thriller but the local rally in the ninth made victory for the Garnet certain. The local team was award- ed silver cup. which will take it's place along with many other tro- phies won by Nauagtuck teams, and which crowd large display shelf in the local high school.
