Here And
There

One billion, ave hundred million
dollars, an impressive sum in any
language. Scarcely less so when
it is written out in figures like this:
81, 500, OOO,OOOl
We Americans have grown so
accustomed to dealing in astronom-
ical sums that we cease to shiver-
even at the thought of this colossal
sum.
This is the money congress is
expected to allot to defensive agen-
cies in preparation for the war its
proponents are certain we face in
the near future.
Strange to say, those who OPP
pose this huge appropriation are
not apprehensive of its size but OBJ
ject solely on the premises that it
is not necessary.
But the man in the street is torn
between conflicting emotions. He
hesitates to impose upon the COM
ing generations the payment Of
this tremendous sum which must
be willed to them if we decide to
spend it, for we cannot possibly
meet it in the lifetime of those who
plan its spending. Yet he dare
not raise his voice and influence
against it if it may possibly save
the children of those generations
from the horrors and the decima-
tiOns sure to follow in a war for
which we are not prepared.
He would like to be sure of the
wisdom of his decision. Yet how
can he when men who should know
are so far from being in agree
ment. The arguments advanced by
each side seem so logical and so
convincing that he doesn't know
and can't make up his mind as to
which is correct.
l should like to offer him some
helpful counsel But l am one of
the men in the street and need
some one myself to help me make
my own decision.
Briefly the arguments run some
thing like this: Those who favor
full preparation at any cost point
to Ethiopia, to China, to Spain,
to the exploited peoples of Ger
many and Italy and declare we are
due for the same horrifying expe-
riences if we fail to fully arm
against the power of the totalitari-
an states now determined to rule
the world. They say we had bet
ter be safe than sorry.
On the other hand, those who
are in opposition while willing to
spend any amount needed for de-
tense say that our salvation lies in
the broad oceans that lie in the
path of invasion; that no country
is at this time prepared to reach
US for an aerial attack if they
wished to war upon US. They point
to the continuing need for the gov
ernment's aid for its millions on
relief and say it is the acme of
folly to spend huge sums if it can
not be shown that we are in actual
danger. They hint of selfish inter-
ests and the greed of big business.
You will agree, / am sure, that
the issue is of vital Importance.
You will be watching and waiting
for the pros and cons sure to be
aired in the coming congress ses-
sion, with the hope, in which this
writer joins, that a way may be
found in which we can both "eat
our cake and have it, too"

Jimn,y's Delight

A man Of quaint speech and
humor is this same Jimmy
Dykes. He takes a vindictive
delight in ribbing Zeke Bonura.
When Zeke came up from the
clubhouse he paused at the Sox
bench fountain to get a drink.
"Scram," piped Dykes, with
solemn face. Go over to your
own bench"
What" demanded Zeke,
"can't I get a drink Of water"
"Well, a little drink and then
scram," said Dykes.
Zeke went over to the batting
cage and started to chat with
some of the Sox.
"Look at that" yelled Dykes
to Jack Quinn, the umpire.
"He's fraternizing. It's agin'
the rules. Chase him. Fine
him $40"
During the game Zeke went
ever to talk to Yves Ferrel, who
at the time was in trouble.
That's right, rattle him;
cross him up," yelled Dykes.
'"Try to remember what you
told him last inning. You
helped US then, you'll help us
now"
Zeke is still trying to work
himself into a hate against
Dykes, who doesn't dislike the
big italian at all, but loves to
annoy him.

Things Happen

Berger first had to win over
himself before he won the job
as Shortstop on the Sox. When
Apping cracked his leg at Pasa-
dena, Dykes tossed a glove to
Berger and said:
"It'S your job, Bozie; 60 out
there and play ball."
Well, there was something!
The kid who had been Stunned
by the major league club in his
home territory, who had been
passed along by the Indians be-
cause he couldn't hit, was a
major league regular. The
weight of the world suddenly
fell upon Berger's shoulders.
And no little butter Splashed
on his fingers.
Then one day the thing hap
pended. Berger said, "the hell
with it," or words to that effect,
and treated every grounder as
q ball to be picked up and
thrown to the right base. He
shouted a bit as he pounced on
every ball, and Jimmy Dykes sat
on the bench and said:
"Atta boy"

who is one Of the bestinformed
baseball players in the game.
The hitting Of the Tribesmen
speaks for itself. Godfrey Heath,
the rookie is hitting fourth, and
then come Earl Averill, Hal
Trosky and Ken Keltner. There's
a lot Of power in that quartet,
and Odell Hale, something Of a
journeyman second baseman. can
hit that ball.
Rollie Hemsley has seen the
light, and it's sunlight; for the
first time in years he Is on
the wagon-or he was as this
was hammered out. He Is run
ming faster and with greater judg-
ment than ever before in his life,
and in Just little while. when his
eyes are used to Old Sol, he prob
ably will start hitting the ball as
he never hit before.
PITCHING DISADVANTAGE
What a pity it is, when you're
talking of teams with chances to
go places and do things, that the
Nationals do not have q better
pitching staff. Since leaving Grit
fifth Stadium, just two games were
well pitched. Ferrell beat Detroit,
but the more important victory
was that scored by Ken Chase over
the Cleveland Indians.
Chase has his career before him,
and as he sent that fast ball zip
ping above the swing Of Indian
bats, he looked like great pitcher
in the making-but the others Of
the staff are Just what you know
them to be. Even Dutch Leonard
has fallen from grace on this trip.
Boston scored "a runs in three
games; Detroit scored IA runs in
two games: the Indians gathered
Is tallieS in three games, and the
White Sox got nine runs in eight
innings. That is an average Of
8 runs per game.

that White Sox fans are divided

TROON, Scotland, May "A
Q.NS0.-In a nip and tuck battle
that was not decided until the 10th
hole, Charles Yates Of Atlanta,
Ca, defeated Johnny Fischer Of
Cincinnati, his Walker Cup team
mate, in their first round match
in the British amateur golf
championship today.
Yates was leading at the ninth
hole, three up, but Fischer rallied
to make it all square at the 18th.
Then the Albanian, playing
steadily, won at the 10th, four
strokes to five.
FALLS SHORT ON PUTTING
Yates took the lead on the out
ward journey as the Cincinnati
player, stroking smoothly on his
long game, fell down somewhat
on his putting.
Fischer appeared upset by fire.

strove to control the gallery, miss
ing a one-yard putt at the seventh
and a five-foot try at the ninth.
Indicative Of the state of Fischer'S
nerves, at the short eighth hole
he told q policeman to "be quiet. I"
Yates, on the other hand, played
steadily throughout the first nine
holes.
On the way home they settled
down to a battle that thrilled the
crowd on virtually every hole.
Yates increased his lead on the
tenth, but Fischer cut it again on
the eleventh where he left a
Stymie. He failed to sink a two
foot putt, but won anyway with a
four to Yates five.
TRAPS TEE SHOT
Although Yates lead had dwin.
died in the close struggle, Fischer
all but put himself out on the
seventeenth when he trapped his
tee shot. He then made a beauti-
full recovery, dropped his ball
eight feet from the pin and sank
his putt for a halve in par 3.
Fischer squared the match on
the eighteenth, then lost it ire
vocably on the nineteenth. He
and Yates both reached the green
in two, and the toughest break
of the day then entered the battle
against Fischer. He rolled q
four-yard putt to within IS inches
of the hole and Yates left him a
dead stymie, which Fischer failed
to hurdle.
HAAS TRIUMPHS
The onslaught against the Brit
iSh which was started yesterday
by the American Walker Cup play
ers was continued today when
Fred Haas, of Baton Rouge, La,
swamped A. J. Ashworth. one c.
the innumerable Englishmen en-
tered. by the one-sided score of
7 and 6.
Haas took a five-up lead on
the first nine and turned in a
card averaging two under fours

shot the first nine in a steady "a,
two under par, despite the high
wind which interfered with play

ing that the reign of the Ruppe
Gehrig is limping on a muscle
strain. Ruffing has been i'll,
Gomez doesn't seem to be able to
win, and the once crushing attack
of the New York team has ceased
to function with its former invinci-
BILE power.
Neither Knickerbocker nor Cor
don has been able to hit his way
out of paper bag, and frankie
CroSetti at last feels the wear and
tear Of daily play. Crosetti has
slowed down, his throwing once
deadly, is labored, and the great
little shortstop Of a couple of years
ago is not hitting.
INDIANS FAVORED
Cleveland is the team most IA
vored to win the pennant in a
year when any one of five teams
might crash through behind any
kind of pitching. The Boston Red
Sox are next in ball player esteem.
We would hate to even hint that
there are baseball men so base in
their thoughts as to indicate that
it would be a good thing for the
league if the New York monopoly
on pennants were smashed, but
due regard for fact and truth COM
pels this statement. New York
must be close. to the top for the
financial interests of the American
League to be served, but not at the
top.
Another world series on a scent
fare would be nothing less than
a nightmare to the American
League. The Yankees beat the
Giants in the last two series and,
if what they say in Chicago is
true, the other cities are coming
to point where their interest ends
when the Gotham outfits hit the
top and pace the rival leagues.
WESTERN SENTIMENT
But beating a New York team
is nectar and ambrosia to the
hinterlandS. The sentiment in
the Western half of the league
is "if we can't win, I hope Cleve-
land does"
Cleveland may be the team to
win, but the Red SoX are not to be
counted out of contention. Gro
nin'S young pitchers have done
about all that could reasonably
be expected of them. Lefty Grove,
with seven consecutive victories,
is setting the pace in the league.
The attack of the Red SoX, with
Ben Chapman going wild, is as
strong as the next teams and,
when you've got hitting plus pitch
ing, you're hard to beat.
At the moment there is concern
over Bobby Feller, the juvenile
Cleveland ace. He pulled up with
a sore back the other day. His
ailment is similar to that which
laid up Earl Whitehill for 10 days.
Feller had a sore arm year ago,
and this latest injury has base
ball men more than a little
dubious.
CRUSHING LOSS
Mel Harder is handicapped by a
sore arm, and with Feller injured,
Oscar Witt would be missing two
of his pitching aces. Needless 20
say, such a loss might be crushing
in its effect. Clevland still has
Johnny Allen, a great right
handler, and Bill Hudlin now is
pitching with his best form. Be-
hind these men are Denny Gale
house. a fast-ball pitcher of more
worth than most fans realize.
Humphries, rookie, is about as
fast as Bob Feller, and I give you
that on the word Of Johnny Stone
