YANKEES BEAR OUT
GR|FF'S PROPHECY
Magnate ForetoId Decline
This .Year-Spring Flop
No BaI|yhoo Trick.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK, April 6.-This is a
town weighted down with mistrust SO
it is not surprising to elearn that many
of the boys think the Yankees have
been dogging it this spring for pub
licity purposes, the idea being that
you can't drum up much interest in
a one-hoss race.
1t comes straight from one of the
best informed soda dispensers in the
neighborhood that Joe Di Maggie ac
tually signed hts contract months ago,
and that he was asked kindly not to
report until his world champion team
mates had finished botching up their
exhibition schedule to the point where
the baseball writer's would pick De-
troit, or maybe Cleveland, to win the
priced ensign.
And. as the informant said, it's
working out perfectly. Joe hasn't made
a move to report, the Yankees do look
pretty awful, and you're beginning to
hear it predicted that they're due for q
mighty fall.

In fact, it's good yarn in every re-

No, you'll have to look for a more
sensible reason for the champs poo,

BOX CORPS.
SHOULD TEST MATS.
Some Rate 1t Strongest in
Majors-Chase to HurI
in Starter Today.
BY FRANCIS f. STAN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ORLANDO, Fla, April 6.-The Mats
have been having their say about the
spring training schedule drawn up by
Owner Clark Griffith this year They
maintained the early part of it en-
braced too many long. hard bus jour-
neys for good ball playing. In short,
they didn't like it.
But if Griffs early scheduling had
a flaw. there is nothing wrong with
what lies ahead as the Nationals pre-
pare to break camp tomorrow and
head NorthWard. For the second
straight year the Boston Bees will
serve as travelling companions. They
are hand-picked opposition.
There are many critics who will
argue the Bees have the best pitching
staff in the majors At least they
have one of the best That should
be right down the Mats alley. They
haven't been hitting the sizes of their
hats, and if anything should tune
them up for the opening of the Ameri-
can League season on April 18 1t
should be six games in the interim
with the Bees.
Griffith Reads Riot Act.
AS far as the Griffs are concerned.
the forthcoming six games with the
Bees will be real battles. Owner
Griffith read the riot act yesterday.
The Mats seven defeats in eight
games with major league opposition
has the old gentleman wondering how
it will affect the box-office appeal Of
his ball club, among other things.
AS far as the opening game is con-
cerned. no effect is likely. The cur
tain raiser probably will be sell-out.
But if the Griffs keep losing in exhi-
bition tilts and start poorly in the
American League they won't draw
flies, and Mr.. G.. knows it.
To get back to the Bees, they were
to face the Mats here today and to-
morrow Immediately after tomor-
rows game both clubs will entrain
for the North, with the Mats stopping
off at Atlanta, Greenville, Charlotte,
Gastonia and Richmond en- route to
Washington.
In Atlanta, Greenville and Charlotte
the Griffs will meet the minor league
clubs of those towns, but in Gastonia
the feud with the Bees will be re-
newed and be carried into Richmond
and Washington.
Chase Faces Bees Today.
Manager Casey Stengel of the Bees
was saying today that his clubs hopes
were in the pitching staff. Casey has
given up on the Bees as run-scoring
team. If they are to be successful
the Bees must get the same fine pitch
ing they got last year, when they were
! winning 'em by 10 and 20.
With this in mind, Stengel plans
to throw his best pitchers against
Washington in the six games to come
Casey pulled no punches the first and
only time the two teams played this
year. He pitched two fine looking
right-handers in Ira Hutchinson and

Bond Issue of
I 2BiliOnS
BY GEORGE DURNO

UN.S) President Roosevelt de-
clared today the original estimate
of one billion dollars would be
insufficient to carry relief through
the fiscal year 193S'39.
He said that very soon he would
advise Congress Of the details Of
an all-incluSive program upon
which he is now working.
SILENT ON LOANS
Generally accepted reports that
the President is about to propose
flotation of a $500, ,OO0, 900 bond
issue for the purpose of loaning
States, cities and political sub
divisions money without interest
over a 50-year payment period
drew a flood of questions at to-
days press conference, but Mr..
Roosevelt obviously was not yet
prepared to discuss details Of his
plan.
He did concede, however, that
the idea of loans without interest
to the municipalities was one OF
the many things under intensive
study. The program upon which
he is working, he added, includes
everything.
The President was asked
whether he would reduce direct
relief expenditures if he adopted
another public works program.
The answer was no.
Similarly, the President said
any new proposal he might make
would have no bearing on the dis
tribution of the $1,500, 10000 in
RFC funds about to be freed by
Congress for loans to business.
Mr.. Roosevelt did disclose that
he would ask Congress to repeal
