f NboAbNy N&A IIOWH.
 Give me that staff and the Chi cago Cubs will finish so far in front of the New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds that they wouldn't be able to hit any member of our party with rock.
 I just don't know what Bill Terry has in mind, but I'd like to see him start Wander Nicer, the 22-year -old southpaw sensation of the Rhineland. And when say sensation, I use the word advisedly. Wander Nicer is all of that-and more. He's one of the greatest young pitchers that I've ever set eyes on.
 In starting Wander Nicer, Terry practically would force Joe Mo- Carthy to send young Bob Teller of Cleveland against him. There you have the biggest at- traction in baseball today.
 NO MISTAKES
 I won't be surprised If Terry gets a ball game pitched close to perfec- ton. After Wander Nicer, he has his choice of Hubbell, Lee, Turner and Derringer. I suspect that Mem phis Bill will save Brown for a relief emergency. That is where Brown shines.
 We of the Nationaal League have come to take this All-Star game very seriously. We realize that it is the fashion show of baseball and on this occasion are happy that 1t is being staged in a National League park.
 Gabby Hartnett probably will start behind the bat for the Nationals. This is the sixth All-Star game, and Gaby, dean of major league catch CTS, hasn't missed one.
 Of course, Terry may choose to have Ernie Lombardi catch Wander Nicer. That would be natural enough. Lombardi caught the north Jersey lad throughout his recent phenom- enal no- and low-hit performances.
 Babe Phelps, the third catcher, may not get into the game as regular, but he's handy bloke to have in your dugout. He really can pickle that onion.
 FLYING START
 Seldom has a first-year man been honored with post on the National League All-Stars. For this reason doff my hat to Frank Mccormick of the Reds, the only first baseman designated for our club. Mccormick will get the thrill of lifetime. playing on the All-Star in his first year in his home park. His main forte is seeking the sphere, but he's no slouch in the field.
 At second base we have Billy Herman, the heads-up infielder of our club, and Tony Cuccinello, who really can spin those double plays. Arky Vaughan gives us a terrific punch at shortstop, where also dWells Leo Durocher, one the grand est defensive players who ever lived.
 And if you have any idea that we'll be weak at third base, take a look at Mel Ott, Cookie Iavagetto and Stanley Hack.
 The outfield will do-Joe Medwick, Ival Goodman. Joe Moore, Lloyd Waner, Hershel Martin, and Hank Leiber, the latter selected because he is a right-hand power hitter.
 I'd just like to sit back and man. age that bunch. and you can bank on Bill Terry to do fine job.

WRITING BASEBALL HISTORY

This has been quite baseball sea- son to date, and the All-Star game should supply added thrills.
 In 100 years, Wander Nicer was first to pitch two consecutive mo- hit, no-run games.
 Frank Higgins 12 consecutive hits broke Iris Speakers 18-year-old record.
 Hank Steanbacher joined select circle of record-holders with six straight hits in a nine-inning game.
 Gehrig passed the 2000th mile stone in number of consecutive games played.
 Jimmy Foxx walked six straight times to set major league mark.
 Feats such as these keep base ball the great game and attraction 1t is.
 With such performances and new stars like Teller and Wander Nicer, the national pastime will continue to play to tremendous crowds.

CIl6 ElJ-IldIlQeTS,
 Bob Grove and Vernon Gomez, the latter credited with three of the four victories the American League has scored in All-Star games. Reliable Bill Dickey and Rick Farrell gives us plenty of catching, with large Rudy York and his big home run bat in reserve.
 We have distinct bulge at first base with the home run clouters, Lou Gebrig, Jimmy Foxx, and Hank Greenberg.
 The matchless Charles Gehrin- ger will continue his unbroken string of All-Star game innings at second base in his quiet and competent way.
 Joe Cronin and Cecil Travis are available for shortstop, and Red Rolfe and the youthful Buddy Lewis at third base.
 THEY GET AROUND
 In addition to furnishing us with a world of power, Joe DeMaggio, Earl Averill, Bob Johnson, Roger Cramer, and Mike Kreevich will serve well in the spacious outfield of Crosley field.
 In these All-Star games we not only have overpowered the Nation al League, but have shown them air. tight pitching as well. The game should bring out some interesting duels. It would be quite treat to see the farm boy strike out king, Teller, pitching against the no-hit, no-run hero of the Cincin- rnati Reds, Johnny Wander Nicer, for example. I've seen altogether too much of Teller, You may be assured of that. But I'm mighty interested in getting a peek at Wander Nicer.
 I'm not certain as to just what starting lineup we'll use. It is my 1 intention to show the fans as many of the all-stars as possible, although my main idea will be to win, of | course.

MARKET ICONS
TO new HIGHS,
THEN RECEDES
PrOfit-taking Wave
Slashes Prices
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June 80 G.N.s).
The stock market doomed to new
highs for the year and then re-
treated today in the biggest trad
ing since the panic days of last
October.
A flood Of buying orders right
at the opening overwhelmed the
high speed ticker, and quickly
brought gains of / to 4 points on
top Of yesterdays spectacular
runup.
Profit Taking Follows
This was followed by wave of
profit-taking under which the
gains were cut in half and more
and a number of leading issues
showed net losses.
The high speed ticker fell 10
minutes behind at the height of
the rush in the first hour.
The behaviour of leading issues
indicated the seesaw nature of the
market. International Harvester
quickly ran up over 2 points and
then lost this and over q point
more. Case Threshing was Up 2
and then down nearly a point.
U. s. Steel lost practically all
Of a gain of over a point, as did
Bethlehem, while Youngstown fell
more than 2 after being up frac-
tionally.
BUILDING SHARES HIGHER
Johns Manville retained point
Of a 3-point runup. Other build
ing shares were higher. Rails
turned irregular after being up for
gains running to more than q
point. The utility section followed
a similar pattern.
In the motors Chrysler was UP
nearly 2 poins, but kept only q
small fraction Of it, while General
Motors slipped under the previous
close. Most coppers gave ground
after a bullish demonstration in
the early dealings. Union Car
bide in the chemicals was down
over 3 at the height of the profit
taking but cut this down later.
Eastman Kodak kept half of a
4-point rise. Oils were firm.
Elsewhere irregular tendencies
succeeded strength in the first
half hour.

WAR REMOTE
SAYS PRESIDENT
BY GEORGE DURNO

NEW YORK, June 80 G.N.S0.
President Roosevelt rode down to
New York today to lay the Federal
Buildings cornerstone for the
1889 Worlds Fair and firmly an
nounced that I'VE are against war
and have agreed among ourselves
quietly to discuss difficulties in
such way that the possibility of
war has become remote"
He also was to address the meet
ing of the National Education
Association this afternoon.
The Chief Executive spoke
briefly at the Worlds Fair site,
but he pressed the point that our
good neighbor" policy should be
pushed throughout the world.
Mr.. Roosevelt, just before WELD
ing the trowel, was gravely serious
when he said:
"All of us realize, of course,
that the affairs of many parts of
the world are, to put it politely,
somewhat diStraught. Such a
condition necessarily accom-.
panies wars and rumors of
wars"
An earnest plea for interna-
tional peace was made by the
President when he said Americas
efforts to promote worldwide trade
"has proven so successful in the
Western Hemisphere that the
American republics believe it could
succeed in the rest Of the world if
the spirit which lies behind it were
better understood and more &C
lively Striven for in the other parts
of the world"

The Washington times., 1938-06-30

TidingS that the Spanish forces
would follow out the Pope's wishes
and minimize the woes of SPANS
civilians were brought to the papal
villa at Castel Gandolfo by Gen
eralissimo Francisco Frances new
emissary, Don Jose Yangues Mes
sia.
And from the ether side of the
world came news to Osservatore
Romano, the official organ of the
Vatican, that Japan had promised
to cease bombing unfortified cities
in China as the result of an ap-
peal from His Holiness.
In turn, after receiving General
FRANCOIS promises, the Pope said
he hoped Franco would soon be
able to announce a victorious con.
clusion to the war.
RECEIVES AMBASSADOR
Receiving the credentials of
frances ambassador to the papal
court, the Pontiff declared:
I'VE have taken cognizance Of
General Frances promises to
avoid, as much as possible, the
pains of the victims of war.
1--WE hope the day is not far
off when so much wrong and
suffering will end.
1--WE pray always that this will
be soon and that God will re-
serve to General Franco the Joy
and glory Of announcing to
Spain and to the world that
victorious day."
RELATIONS ESTABLISHED
The Pope's speech was in reply
to Don Jose's presentation address,
which marked the formal estab-
lishment Of diplomatic relations
between the Holy See and the Bur
gos regime.
Frances ambassador reaffirmed
spain's fidelity to Catholicism,
saying:
1T is General Frances de-
sire to serve the Catholic church
with the deepest devotion and
fullest faith"
Using vigorous language, accord
ing to OSservatore, the Pope urged
Tokyo to halt useless butchery
and the bombing of open Chinese
cities"
ENVOY SEES UGAKI
Apostolic Delegate Marella con-
veyed the Pope'S plea to Foreign
Minister Kozushige Ugaki in
Tokyo.
Ugaki, added the Papal news
paper, said:
II understand the high mo-
tives which induced the Holy
See to take this step"
Then he gave assurances,
according to Osservatore, that
everything would be done to assure
the safety of civilian populations
and noncombatants.
