Greet to Find Lyons
Up Where He BeIonos

This is the first time that any
All-Star team has had the name
ct. Lyons, pitcher on its roster
In the box score, though, Lyons. P
Is as familiar as the white shirts in
the bleachers. and the green grass
on the field and the mellow sun of
August that chases the shadows
from the bull pen. His name is one
of the few things in baseball. in
any game or in any business. that
calls up thoughts and associations
wholly pleasant.
When you say of man. Every
body likes him." you are damning
him. as often as not, with Chamber
of Commerce praise. Lyons is more
than nice guy and hustler. He
is steadfast and unselfish and pur-
won quietly, which is why people
like him, but also he has won con-
sistently, which makes it all the
harder to forgive the fans, in some
years, and the managers, in others,
who left him off the honor roll in
favor of popoff guys and common,
garden throWerS.
Anyway, it's good to see him up
there where he belongs. at last
And if the man in the street doesn't
think of Theodore A. Lyons when
you ask him to name the five great
est active pitchers in baseball, maybe
it's Ted's fault as much as his. He
never advertised

Gets in Record Books
BY Hurting No-Hitter

There, again, he was somewhat
different from Diz Dean. I like
Dizzy fine, but it cannot be denied
that when he had anything less
than a pennant-w winner behing him
he groused so loud that the
partridge came from Scotland in
answer to his call.
It's nice thing that Lyons once
pitched no-hitter. That gets his
name in the record books, to be
perpetuated. Destiny never dealt
him much in the way of oppor-
tunities to make records. He is
one of the four active major league
pitchers who have won more than
200 ball games CHubbell, Grove and
Earl Whitehill are the others, but
many pitcher in the past has
achieved that. 1t just means that
you were good, and that you stayed
good
Lyons was great. To a certain
extent, he has stayed great, though
today his fast one has lost most of
its whip and his curve most of its
sharpness. He still has his fine
judgment, his steady courage, his
control and the willing skill in the
hollow of the diamond that makes
him, like Freddie Fitzsimmons, a
fifth infielder. What he has lost,
he lost in the service of his club,
and if that's not as good as service
on the battlefield, well they didn't
give Lyons any battleields to work
with.
Il never asked him to do any
thing he didn't do" said DOME
Bush, once his manager, "and, boy,
what I had to ask him!"
Quite a guy. all in all.

Big Louisiono HurIer
Never Asks for Help

He belongs in that first five. So,
I guess, do Hubbeu, Grove and Dean.
You can name your own fifth. There
are several pitchers now drawing
pay who have the markings of
greatness. Robin Feller is one of
them. But you like pitcher to put
his great years together until they
make a good, long sized string, as
Hubbeu has done for IL years, and
Grove for IS, and Lyons for IT.
Even Diz Dean is pretty much of a
Johnny come lately. You can count
his great seasons on the thumb and
fingers of one normally equipped
hand.
The gentleman at whom I am
Singing this belated Valentine never
worked for a winning ball
club. AS a matter of fact the
Chicago White SoX have finished in
the first division only twice since
Lyons joined them in 1923, a re-
formed law student fresh out of
Baylor University. Three times they
landed in the cellar. The year
Lyons won 20 games, they were
seventh.
In other words, there was not
much help there. But the big
Louisianan never asked for any.

delegation said, they preached to Alfonso the question of his abdicat- ing to clear the way for his son.
 Given Something To Abdicate
 The Spanish state has taken from me all my rights and all my properties" the former monarch was said to have replied. T am not king. I am not even a Spanish citizen. How and what can I abdicate? First, [ must be reinstated Then we will see"
 The decree restoring Alfonso's ands and rights as citizen soon followed. The understanding was hat the former king would abdicate later and Juan would be called back 10 reign
 Coronation of Don Juan is not yet assured The insurgents must first win a decisive victory in Spain. Then, restoration of the monarchy will still be subject to international negotiations and internal Spanish politics.
 Italy is believed to be lukewarm toward a restoration. preferring to zee an outright Easiest dictatorship in Spain, but Mussolini himself gov arns under king, and England is counted upon by the monarchists to bring Italy around to the propos- al.
 There is a division of opinion also in Spain. The Falangists pat termed after the Nazis of Germany, would prefer totalitarian state un- der a "Caudillo," or "Fuerhrer," rather than a monarchy, but many influential insurgent organizations want king.
 See British Favor
 The monarchists believe they have Great Britain strongly on their side because Juan has served as a lieut. enant in the British navy, studied in England and has many friends there.
 It is generally agreed that if Fran co wins the war and decides on a restoration. he can swing it.
 Don Juan became heir presump- tive in 1883 when two elder brothers, the Count of Covadonga, who later died and Jaime, suffering from im- pediments in speech and hearing, abandoned claim to rule.
 He is healthy, vigorous youth, born June 20, 1913, who has shown no traces of the tragic maladies which have tracked his family
 Although he aspires to be King Juan III, he has no ambitions to follow in the footsteps of the Don Juan, caballero of ancient Seville, whose loves have become celebrated in the literature of many lands.
 The modern Don Juan is hap oily married man-his wife, Marie Mercedes, Princess of Bourbon Siciles, whom he married at Rome in 1885. They have one daughter, the Infanta Maria del Pillar, born

By HENRY C. CASSIDY

PARIS, Feb. All the Dons Juan in history haven't been great lovers Two have been kings of Spain. And now, war and politics permitting, there is likely to be Don Juan III.
 For the fates have smiled on a youth still in his twenties, third son of former king, who would ordinarily have no chance for throne.
 He is Juan, Prince of Asturias, fav- orite son of ex-King Alfonso.
 Two factors are working strongly in his favor.
 First, his homeland, split by civil war, needs pacifier, and he, as one who has been out of the country for years but still has legitimate claim to rule. seems to many to fill the bill.
 Second, his education and virtu- ally all his career has been made in England and Englands money and influence probably will be strong in the Spain that rises out of the civil strife
 Steps Already Taken
 The Spanish insurgents, definite ly ahead, although still not absolute victors over the government. have already taken concrete action toward restoration of the monarchy.
 Late in 1888, General Francisco Franco's administration restored to former King Alfonso all the prop critics in Spain and all the Spanish citizenship rights taken from him by the Republican parliament in 1881
 The restoration passed without official explanation except that General Franco alone had the right to decide, when and if the war was won. how Spain should be governed.
 The inside story, as related by a Spanish monarchist in close touch with the negotiations, discloses that it was step toward coronation of Don Juan as new king of Spain.
 A delegation of Spanish monarch ists, with the knowledge of the in- surgent regime, went to Lusanne Switzerland, during the summer of 1888 and conferred with both AL fonso and Juan.
 Respectfully, member of that

BACKGROUND

Insurgents, pounding away to- ward the remaining Loyalist strong ngholds along the Medit- erranean in Spain, and the cap ture of Barcelona, appear nearer than ever to final victory. AL though Loyalists have shown no sign of giving up the fight, the drive centers attention again on what General Franco will do if he is finally victorious. Here Henry c. Cassidy discusses the possibility that Spain again will have a throne and describes the man who may sit on it.

CLAIMS THAT FOXES
 ARE AID TO FARMERS

ST. PAUL, Feb 1.-Winter eating habits of foxes are more beneficial than harmful to farmers, said Don- aid M. Hatfield, University of Min nesota Entomoiogist, after a study of the animals.
 The university conducted it's re- search because sportsmen and game wardens contended that foxes were responsible for a decline in pheas- ant population.
 The contents of 92 foxes stom- achs showed that but four to six percent of the bulk was pheasant material. From 56 to 60s percent showed the foxes ate such rodents as mice and rats.
