CUBS, CARDS, BUGS
THREATEN GIANTS
; Psychology of Winning Too
Easily Held Only Menace
to World Champs.
By GRANTLAND RICE

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 23.-
In moving from the baseball camps
Of California to the baseball camps
Of Florida, we run across two main
debates affecting the two major
leagues, viz:
l. National League-Will it be the
Giants, Cubs, Cardinals or Pirates?
:. American League-What are they
going to do about the Yankees?
The Giants and Cubs are almost sure
to be in the running. They can hear
the old gonfalon Tapping even on the
winds Of March-which happens to
be long way from October. The
Cardinals and Pirates have their
chance If certain pitching strength
holds up. For example, Dean and
Warneke, nea.: their best, could raise
quite bulk of cain.
The National League is fairly sure
OF tight first division run. But the
American League still walks under
the shadow of the New York Yankees,
who have run away with the race two
years in a row. The problem of hob
bling such people as Gehrig Di Mag
gio. Dickey, Gomez. Rufing, Selkirk
and company is no easy tangle to un-
ravel.
Early last winter I sat through a
Madison Square Garden fight with
Col. Jake RUPERT and Manager Joe
Mccarthy. Both insisted they we're
going to try to win the pennant again
by as big margin as they could
pile up.
"A 20-game lead would suit me
fine the colonel said. I'm not 60
ing to tear down. Let the others
build up"

And the colonel meant it.
Who Can Do It?

due to slip. He brings up the same
argument Ty Cobb lately gave me.
You can win too much and you lose
'the old edge-the urge to win," Ty
said. Il recall when we won three
pennants in a row from 1907 through
1909. We should have won again. But
it got back to the old proposition of
not running for street car after
you've caught it. Winning clubs can
take too much for granted. Why
hustle when you don't have to?"
. II some American League ball club
us to give the Yankees battle and
keep the race close, which one will
1t be?
There always is the chance that
the Yankees have passed their peak.
Not so much physically as psyche
logically. Too many easy pennant
races can wreck a club. But they
have smart leader in Joe Mccarthy,
who also is watching this angle.
There also is the chance that Lou
Gehrig can't be another Tennyson's
= brook and go on forever. Lou is on
the verge Of his 2,000th consecutive
big league game. His massive system
H replete with Stag iron and granite,
but there always is limit-even to
human endurance.
MY guess now concerning the two
main Yankees rivals swings to De-
troit's Tigers and Cleveland's Indians.
The Tigers must have Schoolboy
Rowe right and ready to have a
chance. They have a great leader in
Mickey Cochrane, but even Mickey
can't wade out there and start pitch
ing. The Rowe of two or three years
ago would make killing difference.
- About the Indians.
Cleveland has the best pitching staff
IN either league. You may not re-
member the intimate details. but
Johnny Allen has the best fve-year
record in baseball. Last year he had
10 straight, as I recall it, when he
was beaten, to 0, on the final day.
Allen Is star.
l What about young Bob Feller? The
kid had his baptism of fire last sea-
son. He proved the amount of stuff
ne had last spring, but he was badly
handled. His main idea was to strike
out the first q men who came up to
pat. 1t was the same idea Robert
Moses Grove had several years be-
fore. Feller has enough stuff to win
at least 20 games-maybe more-if
handled in the right way.
You've heard about teams that kill
speed. Well, as Dizzy Dean once told
me, they don't kill real speed. I never
heard of them killing Walter john
sons speed. Why, there we're times
half ball club tried to claim sickness
on the days Johnson pitched.
Cleveland has other pitchers-;n.
Guiding Mel Harder. This club can
be dangerous all the way. Oscar Witt
mas been around long enough to know
his trade. N"
But, for all this. the Yankees still
are the dark shawod over the Ameri-
can League, where the populace at
large likes to see a race-especiallv
down the stretch.

Passenger Saved Pilot An o7l apane M ee zGSmed @iaao crazy over the Marine Corps flying field at San Dlego S.afornia in March 1882 It careened and wabbled in such fashion that the watchers on the ground knew that something had gone wrong They had no knowledge that far overhead life-and-death drama was belng played with two human lives at stake The prlncpals m this dilemma were Sergeant Ora S. Hofer the pilot and the other his passenger Corporal Hmer N Torner who was unskied in the management of arplanes Former, from his seat in the cockpit his pilot lurch forward over the controls the plane began to spin dzzy The corporal realized that his pilot had tainted and that both were faced with sudden and horrible death unless he took prompt action The plane began to make quick but cratic descent toward the ground Former stood up in his cockpit pulled the unconscious sergeant away from the controls and began to maneuver the machine himself With less than a rudimentary knowledge of aircraft he managed to gain altitude. When the plane responded to his first efforts to straghten it out and avoid an immediate crash, he gained more confi dence Finally he mastered sufficiently to bring it to the ground on fair landing field With the motor still running the plane swung around in circles until Torner eventually found the throttle control and brought it to stop Sheer courage had saved Torner life and the life of his companion When watchers rushed to the side o the plane Former had already removed the pilot and was applying first aid.

Vast Continent Is battle-ground
 Of Commerce
Amsrics was their oyster.

America was, their oyster.
 But now Germany has forged ahead. She has elbowed Great Brit ain out of second place. She has cut into our share. In 1929 we sold South America $S6 out of every $lOO of goods she bought abroad. Tn l938 this had dropped to $29,40. That's loss of $6.60 in the hum dred. Most of that gain was picked up by Germany. England hasn't lost so much, but Germany's in- crease has put the Nazi traders in second place.
 This is more striking if we look at the facts in particular countries. In Brazil and Chile the most eff fective drives for trade have been made by Germany. Back in 1929 out of every hu- dred dollars worth brought by Brazil, England sold $19, we sold $50 and Germany $l2.50. Ir4 1886, England sold $12.50, we sold $2l and Germany $24.50. There she had reduced us to second place.
 But in 1887 things changed 8 little. In the first nine months the latest figure available sold twice as much as Germany did, though Germany still led England. Our share was $35 out of every hun dred, Germany's $l6.
 As the United States has vast investments in the land of these ten troubled sisters, however, it is natural that both countries should feel apprehensiye. But it is difficult to see how mere rise in Ger many,s share of that trade should provoke anything more than an awakening of American business men. In other words, Germany, Italy and Japan have as much right to sell to the South Americans as we have, if those people wish to buy from them. That's not a problem to be dealt with by means Of an army and navy.
 But another factor enters this ominous equation. It is conceded that the fascist countries are with in their rights in seeking trade south of the equator. But it is said that it is not merely planes they sell, but philosophy; not just tex lies and steel and gadgets, but ideas-in short, fascism. It is net merely hat they make sales, but the manner in which they do it and the general attack upon democracy with which they accompany their sales campaigns. The Drummers of Democracy, we are warned, fall far behind the Factors of Fascism. That is the complaint. That is the point to be examined in tomorrow's ar- ticle.

YOUTH COUNCIL ASSAILS KUHN
Bnnd Leader Scored for Anti-Jews Attitude; :; Res-
 OIutiOn Adopted

Reported purpose of Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German American Bund, to the effect that he would seek to have this country get rid of lewis in the manner of Hitler met with attack last night by the Wa terbury Youth Council, representing all Protestant Young Peoples organ izations in Waterbury, when reso- lution WIS adopted in protest of the Bund leaders purported statement.
 Deportation of Kuhn is suggested in the statement attacking those persons stirring up religious preju- dice" and the Bund leader is ac- cused- of "camouhage" in his conten- ton that his plan has no connec- tion with the acts of Hitler in Ger many.
 The letter sent to Kuhn follows: ;. we, the undersigned, repre- senting the young peoples or ganizations of the. churches of Waterbury, Conn, do strongly pro- test your thoroughly un-American and un-Christian leadership of the Bund's proposal to rid our country of the Jews, the emphasis, as reported in the newspaper, of your speech in Queens on Novem- Der IS, 1888. We are not Jews, but believing in the principles of lib- erty and equality upon which this nation of ours was founded and established, we believe that the Jews have as much right to the privileges which that principle affords as any other people of any other foreign descent. We fur thermore believe that any effort to promote any action contrary to the American spirit-a particu- larly inSidiouS instance of this type is the stirring up of racial prejudice-should be met with strong and persistent American indignation, even to the extent of advocating the deportation of such persons who promote such preju- dice to those countries which thwart the progress of liberty and freedom. And finally, we should like to inform the Bund that such action, though claimed to have no connection with the country that is shamefully and wantonly ex- ecuting such racial hatred, only increases the real American sus- picion that there is a definite re- lationship. We believe that any claim otherwise is but mere cam ouflage."

and Italians-and perhaps the Jap- anese-are planning an attack in force upon some part of South America to establish colonies there? Does it mean that the fascist pow CTS are seeking to sell fascist phil- osophy to the South Americas, turning that continent into a gar- den spot for the social order of Mussolini and Hitler in this hemis- phere? Or does it mean, merely, that these nations are trying to get a bigger share of trade there, to sell their goods and buy the raw ma terials they need so desperately?
 Whatever their aims, let us first look at what has happened to trade in South America.
 Four powers do one-half the trade of South America-the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Japan. For years the United States and Great Britain had that half of the business for themselves. South

 Suddenly America becomes aware that the over-crowded world looks with hungry eye upon that vast continent.
