Curtis murmured instructions to the

the direction they took. 1t was only
when the cab stopped at the nursing

also sprang to his aid. Strengthening
out his injured leg and propping him
against pillows.
Then Audrey rose and faced Curtis.

WASHINGTON, May 49, (UP)-
The house today approved sec
ton of the civil aeronautics bill
limiting the powers of President
Roosevelt to remove members of the
proposed civil aviation authority.
The section, eliminated in the
senate after hard fight, provides
that the president may remove
members of the authority for ''in-

the provision said it places an

League Is Stronger
At Top, but CriticrSees Room
For N. L. Au.Club argument

Bill Terry, boss Of the Giants, con-
cedes "a team like the Yankees can
beat the ears off anybody" but adds:
"A man who can bust up ball game
with hit is great asset. but he is
worth twice as much if he also can
save game by being fine defensive
player. That's the way we play ball in
our =leaguA ~ We do pet plan to give
the other team runs and then count
on scoring more by sheer power. We
stress defense. All the teams in our
league play that kind of ball and we
believe it to be the best baseball
there H."
Terry's remarks. occasioned by Waite
Hoyt's magazine thesis that the A. l..
exploits power and liberalism, as op-
posed to N. L. defensive tactics and
conservatism, cover only part of the
general rebuttal. The fact is that the
power-house idea is vastly overrated
For example, the Yankees converted
their power into pennants only when
they had the defensive skill and pitch
ing to support it. The Yankees were
outhit in their own league last year by
Detroit. and even st. Louis. the last
place club, but won the pennant by a
13-game margin In the world series
their defense was certainly as vital q
winning factor as their batting power

Shortstop Cecil Travis, who topped
the Griffs with 344 batting average
in 1887, will be promoted from sixth
to third place in the lineup, and
Johnny Stone will be placed at the
No. hole, with AL Simmons dropping
down another notch.
The new order will be on display
for the first time tomorrow when the
| Mats journey to Daytona Beach to
play the Chattanooga Lookouts.
Travis Follows Lewis Again.
Disappointed with the feeble hitting
ana run-maklng OF the club, Harris
| drew up his new batting order which
he intends ITO give fair trial" "It
| might be an improvement" said Har-
ris. We're certainly breaking no
scoring records as We have been,
anyway"
The new order. in full, will find
Myer followed by Third Baseman
| Buddy Lewis, then will come Travis,
who batted third most of last year,
and Zeke Bonura, the new first base
| man.
Stone. who has been at the No. 3
spot, will shove Simmons down a
| notch. They will bat fifth and sixth,
respectively, with Almada hitting
| seventh and Rick Ferrell batting
| eighth.
When Myer led the American League
| in hitting in 1885 with a $40 mark
he was adjudged the perfect No.
| hitter. But Buddy has not been the
same hard and timely hitter since.
Almada, by the same token, has not
been especially adept at reaching base
as lead-of man.
