 Jittery work?

 He says blasters act on lunches, plus experience. A general rule is d stick of dynamite to a foot of ground A better method, however is to figure out the shearing and crushing strength of the rock to be blasted.
 Then We know how much en- crgy or force we have to supply to overcome it." he explains. Tt of fers so much resistance; you're try ing to bust it up. You don't always try to move it-you try to smash it.
 But you can't overdo blasting. particularly when you have to fig ure on buildings. You must do the job, and no more That requires judgment and close figuring"

Cardinals Show
 Fresh Power in National League
Cincy Re ds End Giants Winning Streak with
 Bad Defeat
tBy Associated Press)

With late encouragement, fans hope St. Louis Cardinals may cause trouble in the National League race.
 Veteran right handler Warneke is coming along in fine shape and ap- pears to show promise of chucking ball all through the season.
 A new battery composed of Bill McGee and Herb Bremen, limited the Boston Bees to six hits as McGee got his first trial as a start ing pitcher. McGee famed six men to outpoint able Lou Fette.
 Bremen provided the first two runs with homer and Don Gut teridge made the third marker in the same manner.
 Meanwhile, Dizzy Dean worked his arm for seven good innings against the Phillies and got credit for a victory. The Cincinnati Reds brought the Giants eleven game winning streak to an undignified end.

SOME GUESSING OVER TRANSFER
 OF DIZZY DEAN
Baseball Experts Are Sim ply Stymied IT Many
 Questions Asked
By DlALON GRAHAM

NEW YORK, May 4.-The mys- tefious eve-of season transfer of Dizzy Dean from St. Louis to Chi cago brings up questions which have the baseball experts stymied:
 Branch Hickey of the Cardinals seldom makes a poor deal He is one of the best horse-traders in the game. Did Rickey-eager to swap Dean for pitchers Curt Davis and Clyde Shoun, outfielder George Stainback, and $1S5, ,O00-have req son to believe Dizzy would never be the pitcher he was a few years ago?
 Hickey habitually has sold play CTS while they still were good to obtain top prices for them before the market collapsed under him. Does that explain the Dean deal?
 The Cardinals felt they could win the pennant with Dean. The players now feel they have only an outside chance Did Hickey fig ure S185,O00 and three players was better than a National league pen nant or didn't he share the players optimistic opinions?
 Was There Clash?
 There were reports late last sea- son of a bitter flare-up between Dizzy and Manager Frankie Frisch. with Dig saying he wouldn't pitch again for Frisch Did Dizzy's stand force the trade?
 Dizzy has never had a topnotch catcher. Will the aid of veteran like Gabby Hartnett enable Dizzy again to reach the heights of 1884 and 1885 when he won 30 and 28 games?
 Dean is one of the games most colorful figures. Will he pep up the Cubs?
 Dean has been quite trouble some character with the Cardinals and rather fortnight guy. How will he fit into the Chicago scheme, already overcrowded with such mas ter minds as Grimm, Hartnett and Lazzeri?
 Dizzy has customarily squawked before signing his contract and has enlivened the spring drills with his popoffs. This year he signed at a stiff salary reduction, without q murmur and startled the fans by his modesty and silence. Does this add up to anything? Did he know ] he was to be traded to the Cubs ! Was he worried about his arm? Why Was Frisch Happy? 1 Onkle Frankie Frisch was un- usually happy this spring, all though he had worries what with trying to make a catcher and a i third baseman out of outfielders. Was the prospect of a season with cut arguments with Dean pleas ant one?
 l New York, Brooklyn and Pitts 1 burgh definitely would have bid against the Cubs for Dean. Why weren't they given chance? 1 Bill Terry of the Giants was skeptical of the deal. Why did he say he would have outbid the Cubs l for Dean?
 The Cardinals need catcher, but they got no backstop replace ment through their trade. Wouldn't a trade with, say, the Giants, which

might have brought more money and also a receiver, have been bet ter for the Cardinals?
 Will the trade force the Giants to buy another pitcher, probably from the Phillies, to offset the addition al pitching strength the Cubs may have acquired? Did the Cards also have another deal in the fire for new pitcher?
 It seems that Father Time alone can answer these puzzlers, and some probably will stump him.
 Can Dizzy Win 20?
 The Cubs apparently can count on the pennant-if Dean can win only the average number of games he's won for the Cards during the last six years, 22 The Cubs are overdue anyway. And Deans ex- pected additional triumphs should help offset the injury jinx that may again pursue the Cubs.
 If Dizzy's in shape, it'll surprise everyone if he doesn't win more games than Davis and Shoun com bined. And Stainback doesn't fig ure to help the Cards. But Hickey should have a lot of fun countaing that S185,000
 A pretty fair country ball club could be tied together through players the Cards have disposed of

CLUB, GLASSES
 CLUES TO SLAYER
Taxi Driver Murdered, His Body Put in Barn Which
 Was Burned

Waterville, Me, Dec. 30-CUP)-A blood-stained birch club and pair of glasses were the only clues today to the identity of a slayer who fired a barn in futile effort to hide his crime.
 The body of Napoleon Lessard, 52, 8 tax driver, was found in the fire blackened ruins last night. Though the body was burned almost beyond recognition, Medical Examiner Ma poleon A. Bisson reported that Les sard apparently had been beaten to death.
 Police theorized that robbery mo- tivated the killing. Lessard's pockets had been turned inside out, but the thief missed S200 found sewed in what little of the clothing was not burned.
 Shortly before the fire broke out in the barn, owned by A. E. Eustis, Florien Hallee, another farmer, saw Lessard's taxi pass his property, but did not observe who was driving or whether there were any passengers.
 Fed by 25 tons of hay, the fire had burned nearly five hours before dis covery of the glasses and trail of bloodstains indicated that someone was inside. Later the birch club, IS inches long, was found outside the barn.
 Lessard, a bachelor, had been in the taxi business here since his ar- rival from Valley Junction, Quebec, 30 years ago.

 Fast Work

Youngstown, O., Dec. 30.-(UP)- Three men, all armed, cowed 20 railway express agency employees to- day and escaped with $35,000 in cur- rency. The money had been con- signed to the Federal Reserve bank in Cleveland by Youngstown bank.

 Guards deployed to all highways in the Salem vicinity and officers in adjoining counties were notified.
 The robbery was executed with precision. The three bandits walked into the express office, then quickly separated.
 One, armed with a revolver, cor raled office workers in a warehouse. there, a second, with a short-muz- zled shotgun, was lining up ware houseinen. The third man round- ed up truck drivers in the rear.
 Al then were herded together. One of the bandits then slipped into the money room and got the drop on H. T. Harris, in charge, before Har- riS could draw his gun.
