NEW YORK, April 24.-New
York Yankees maintained their
lead in the American League by
a Z to victory over Washington
Senators, while Cleveland In
dams were being shutout by De-
roit Tigers.
Mats held an early lead over
The YankS, but the world cham
pions blasted away about midway
of the game and were never
headed
Schoolbey Rowe yesterday aft
ernoon proved his arm is back in
shape by letting Cleveland In
dams down with but four hits
and no runs. Meanwhile his
teammates pounded out Is safe
ties and eight markers. The VIC
tory put the Tigers right behind
the Indians.
Connie Mack is living up to his
prediction that he viii get out of
the cellar. His Athletics wallop-

main in a tie for first place in

ed out ST. Louis Cardinals. 6-5.

National League flag ahead, but
other managers are more eau
IiouS, and even joe Mccarthy is
not so sure. OF the 10 major
league pilots, only two have
claimed the pennant so far-Gab-
py Ha- tuett, loquacIous leader OF
Chicago Cubs, and Bill Terry,
dynamic manager of New York
Giants.
Gabby says, We've got the re-
serves and we've got the regu-
lars, so why shouldn't l pick the
Cubs to win again?"
The answer came from Terry:
We have an infield now and a
man that can hit for distance.
The outfield should be stronger,
too, and we have enough pitch
ing to win. Yes, l think this
will be the Giants pennant
year..
Mccarthy had he following
to say: I'm not going to say
the Yankees are going to win the
American League pennant be-
cause 1 have not seen the Red
Sox, Tigers, Indians and other
clubs in the circuit. But think
that my club has good chance
to repeat. The outcome will de-
pend on the pitching and l am
satisfied with my staff. =
Dell Baker of the Tigers said:
ION paper it looks simple for the
Yankees TO win again but the
Tigers will give them fight,
remember that. I. think our club
is stronger than last year but the
pitching staff is the BIG If"
Joe Cronin, Red Sox: IF we
had had better pitching last year
we would havdstopped the Yanks.
Now it looks as if we were going
to get it. l think we have all
the batting power we need.
Oscar Witt. Indians: Il never
make predictions. but if Harder,
Allen are right we will be in the
fight.
Bucky Harris, Senators: We'll
have better pitching this year. If
our infield is right and our out
field comes through, we will have
a good chance for the first divi-
sion".
Jimmie Dykes, White Sox:
We'll go to the post a better
team than last year. 1 am only
hoping we dodge the bad breaks
and injuries.
Fred Haney. Browns: we
ought to land at least in fifth
place, for we are going to hustle
all the Wav'. )
Connie Mack, Athletics: The
team is vastly improved. We will
miss Siebert. but we will have a
better club and watch me get out
of the cellar with all young
players. i
In the National League. none
of the pilots in either circuit
were more cautious than Bill
McKechnie, of the Cincinnati
Reds. whose club is favored by
the sports writers to win the
flag: I am not making any
predictions. / do not make it a
practice to say where my club is
going to finish. Any team that
finishes in the first division has
a chance to win the flag. And
my team will be in there fight
ing until the last game is play
ed''.
Pie Traynor. Pirates: Every
department of our club has been
strengthened. / look for another
open race this season. and I pick
the Pirates and Cubs to fight it
out for the flag.
Casey StengeI, Bees: I'VE have
the best pitching, staff in the
league and with the added
strength this year we should
wind up as a first division clubs.
Leo Durocher,- Dodgers: The
good work of our pitchers in
training has convinced me that
we will 90 places this wear / am

will present another of its fine twin feature programs with "On Borrow ed Time" starring Lionel Barrymore as the headliner of the bill.
 Barrymore who in his thirty years of motion pictures has established many landmark, carves a new niche for himself with his superb performance of the lovable old out- spoken Gramp in the film.
 The production has every kind of laughter, from the heartiest roar to the most delighted chuckle. It has tears and suspense, and an inspira- tional life that will send audiences out of the theater with something to talk about.
 The featured cast measures up to Barrymore's lead in every instance. Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Mir. Brink, personifier Of cath and Bobs Wat son, probably the best trouper among the children now in films, as the grandson Pud turn in sterling per- formances, Beulah Bondi, Una Mer- kel and Ely Malyon are the most important of the other stars,

COMMUNISTS ARE
 RUSHED BY MOB
San Antonio Outbreak Witt nesses Wrecking of
 City's Auditorium

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 26.-(UP) A crowd of 5000 persons, includ- ing several hundred World War vet erans in fraternal uniforms, broke up a Communist meeting in Muni- cipal Auditorium last night and some of them partially wrecked the build ing which was dedicated to Texas soldier dead.
 Police Chief Ray Ashworth, Sergt. Wallace Waltersdorf, Patrolman A. B. Gonzales and George Barthol- omew, a newspaper photographer, were seriously injured, and several demonstrators received minor in- juries when 130 policemen attempted to disperse the crowd with tear gas, water hose and nightclubs. It was a demonstration protesting what many participants claimed was 8 dissertation" of the auditorium by the Communists and by Mayor Maverick, who refused to rescind their permit to use the buildings s lecture chapel.
 Maverick, former New Deal con- gressman said that not to allow the Communists to meet would be 8 denial of rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
 The auditorium chapel, which seats only about 200, was partially occupied by Communists and sym pathizers when the crowd began to congregate in the auditorium patio and in surrounding streets.
 Many of them from time to time mockingly gave the fascist salute and cried denunciations of Commu- nists. Throughout the crowd were hundreds of the blue and white caps of American Legionnaires and the khaki caps of Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 The 130 policemen sent by Nav erick to keep order were rushed re- peatedly by the crowd, and, when the Communist meeting was conven- ed the police found 1t necessary to summon firemen to hold off the demonstrators with powerful streams of water. They threw numerous tear gas bombs.
 Chief Ashworth ordered the meet ing dissolved and personally escort ed the Communists and sympathiz- CTS away.
 At this point the crowd got out of hand. Bricks rained down on the police. Chief Ashworth was struck in the back and knocked down. Sergt Wallace was hit in the groin. Patrolman Gonzales and Barthol- omew, the photographer, were hit in the head. All were taken to a hospi- tai, where physicians said Barthol- omew, the most serious hurt, had re- ceived brain concussion. Several hundred rioters led, police said, by a dozen leather -lunged young men, crashed through. enter ed the building and began systemat- ically to wreck it. They ripped and tore up the furnishings of the chapel, broke every window and glass door in the building.
 Police did not attempt to halt the vandalism. The Rev. Marcus Val enti, chancellor of the San Antonio Catholic archdiocese, sought futilely ot address the vandals, to quiet them and halt the destruction. Glad in clerical garb, he stood on the chapel rostrum and called: "The Communists are gone; they are not here." He was drowned out by cries from the wreckers who stopped only long enough to raise the open palm fascist salute.
 Maverick, who had said preceding the meeting that San Antonio has never been disgraced by mob out breaks and never will be-" was not available for comment.
