.BRUCKER HITS
374 DESPITE
MANY INJURIES

LAKE CHARLES, La, March 16.
CUP) = With apologies to Jimmy
Foxx, let's identify the American
leagues leading hitter and then
put him on the witness stand. His
name is Earle Brucker, candy
catcher of the Philadelphia Athle-
tics who batted 374 last season,
Just 25 points more than Foxx did
to win the league title. A little
matter of playing in only SO games
prevented Brucker from being con-
sidered for the batting title.
Brucker, who was playing his
sophomore year last season, de-
serves a citation for his work nev-
ertheless. He had a broken finger
and caught with it for a month,
hitting at .360 clip all the while.
Then in July he tore the ligaments
in his ankle, blood poisoning set
in and he left the AS early in
August.
But injuries and ailments are
an old story to Brucker, who was
out of organized baseball from 1926
to 1881 with bad arm. He always
came back for more, and finally
at 80 made the major league grade
with the AS in 1887

Terrible Terry Wins

There are some baseball experts
who believe Bartell will not play
regularly during the entire season.
That will leave the Cubs with
capable shortStop and may even
keep them out of first place.

brilliant ball for the Giants. De-

be told.
1t was the seventh inning of
Wednesdays game that Tanning
took the spotlight. The Ump, who
was sent to the valley to get in
shape for the regular season, was
perfectly honest at the start of
the seventh canto because the regu-
lars were trailing by three runs.
Dick Ward, however, led off with
a single, Berkowitz forced him at
second and Griffiths singled to left
center. Then Ed Stewart, former
UCLA star, trippled to left and the
score was 6-5.

Reds nosed the Yanks 81 in IL

Jorgen's potential hit and keep the
Yanks from scoring in the 1lth,

Moves Into 3rd
Round of Tourney

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 16,
(UP-Eight teams still were around
to answer roll call in the National
intercollegiate basketball meet to-
day, but the defending champions,
Warrensburg, Mo, Teachers, were
wondering if it wouldn't be better
for them to play hockey.
The MisSourianS found their
path to the quarter-fi final round
more rocky than the others, be-
cause every opponent has pointed
for them, hopeful of being the
team to eliminate the "champS." "
The tall Teachers barely escaped
defeat in their first two assign
ments, putting on late rallies to
exc out victories over teams that
hadn't been given a chance.
Glenville merited spot among
the favorites for disposing of the
flaShy Wayne quintet of Detroit,
$3.50, in yesterdays best offensive
show. Peru gained support by de-
feating Trinity of Waxahachie,
Tex, 4S-42, in the only overtime
game thus far. st. Ambrose made
the easiest advance by running
away with a tired Dakota Wesleyan
quintet, 1921. Manchester won
41-38, when it solved the puzzling
defense of the Murray, KY, Teach
ers. San Diego took out East Texas
State of Commerce, 41-36; Mary
vile defeated Culver-Stockton of
Canton, Mo, 1924 and Southwest
ern stopped Westminster of Fulton,
Mo, 1871.
1t remained for little Augustana
college, Rock Island, ILL.,, to shine
brightest of all the teams defeated,
however. They worried Warrens-
burg until the final minute before
they succumbed, 1929.

praise a former Brawley junior

YOU get what I mean. The lead
was something that was very tickle
especially throughout the second
half. and then it stayed IN one
place just long enough to let the
timers gun 60 off. The man that
to my mind was the reason the
lead lost its tickle characteristic
was Harvey Shirk. Harvey didn't
get into the game until Biggerstaff
got his third personal foul, and
naturally it took him while to
get warmed up.

Unless it be a small undernour-

es on a street corner, during a
blizzard. I can imagine no more
pathetic sight than the Philadel-
phia Phillies preparing themselves
for another year of Nauonaf
league baseball.
I watched them through tear
filled eyes yesterday as they went
through eager. awkward motions
in New Braunfels, Texas. In a
few weeks they must face such ball
clubs as the Cubs, the Giants. the
Cards. the Reds and the Pirates.
They haven't a prayer. Like lambs
in flannel suits. they frolic on the
verge of the slaughter.
Their inspiration is a new mana

stirring summary of his club: The

Over-abundance of ham, and "a
Ingrown resignation TO losing.
OF course, Prothro's estimate was
a summary one, one based on
short acquaintance with the Phil
lies. He has been down in the
Southern Association for years. and
hasn't the deep acquaintance with
the PhillieS that some of us have.

a pair Of gentlemen named Hugh

Danzig Senate Denies Permit Pole Celebration

UNDATED, May IS (F) - The French-British bloc sought a clos CT tie with their new ally, Tur- key, as Polish protest to the Danzig Senate sharpened the is- sue between Germany and Po- land over the Free City.
 In London. following Cham berlain's announcement t h a | Turkey and Britain would aid each other in the event of war. Officials predicted that Turkey would gain important British trade, munitions and loans.
 The Danzig Senate issued an order forbidding memorial serv- ice for the Polish hero Marshal Joseph Pilsudski on. the grounds that it might cause disorder. This announcement brought Polish protest and a charge that the Danzig government couldn't guarantee peace.
 Polish newspapers declared that troops would be sent to Dan zig to assure order in the Free City, if the Senate couldn't ac- cept the responsibility.
 In Vienna, the Catholic Church authorities interpreted a Nazi or der that personell changes in the clergy must have their party sanction, as meaning that the Nazis would control the appoint ments of new vicars, pastors, and other churchmen, q

 Mussolini dedicated a new plant at Turin, of the vast Fiat works, makers of Italian cars, tanks, airplane motors, machine guns and other war equipment.
