No Reason for Bird Dogs
In Bills Field Porty

A few people. including the Amer
lean League and the National Lea
que pennant winners, have heard a
little about Bill Dickey as catcher.
Dickey is a pretty fair country
catcher and hitter In the clutch. But
II you think Bill is ball player, you
ought to see him on the trail OF the
Arkansas quail. Bill Dickey knows
the so-called habitat OF practically
every covey in Arkansas.
After a pre- dawn breakfast OF
world series wafaes and bacon, Bill
drives 100 or 100 miles. The car is
rolling along at good speed through
completely uninhabited land. Sud-
denly Bill drives the car along some
strange road.
1--WE get out here" he tells you.
There's covey right over there in
that patch
We get out-and there's a covey
right over there in that patch.
Bill has three fine bird dogs-but
still don't know why he takes them
along. He doesn't need them.

Timing, Largely Mentol,
Bill Dickey Contends

"Is timing mainly mental or
physical?" asked Bill.
"I'd say largely mental" Bill an
swered. And mental attitudes can
change quickly, especially under a
strain. But when the pressure is on
heaviest-that's the spot that you
have to face without any thought
or worry or hurry"
THAT sounds simple enough" I
said, "but how can you keep from
tightening up in a pinch? Most
people do"
Just take it easy" Bill said. IF
it's in a pinch, the other fellow is in
the same pinch. 1t has to work two
ways. I like to feel that he's in a
pinch and I'm not-just trying to
handle an everyday job"
Skeeter Dickey, 6 feet 4, with a
powerful pair of hands, can outhit
Bill 40 yards at golf. But not with
q baseball bat. The two games and
the two swings apparently are en-
tirely different.

There's No Need to Hurry
Your OuoiI Shooting

Bill Dickey is one of the best field
shots I ever saw. Not even the
startling f1utter of covey under his
feet can even hurry him into action.
When hear that sudden drum beat
of quail wings the panic always Is on.
I can't wait. 1 asked Bill about this.
"It's all matter of timing" Bill
says, whether you are playing base
ball or shooting quail"
I've heard about that timing be-
FORE" I said. I'D like to get your
angle on it,"
Its simple enough. Bill said.
"And it goes for every sport. I'd
say timing was just taking your time.
Don't get in too much of hurry
In baseball there are some pitchers
who work too fast. I just try to
slow 'em down little. What's the
hurry? When I'm batting I want
to take my time-not hit too quick.
That's one of the most common
faults in hitting. Nobody's shooting
a rifle at you. Follow that ball with
your eye, and then see what you have
to do-lct it 20 or swing"

Sudden New
Peace Move
By The Pope

Vatican City, Aug. 31.-(AP)-A
sudden new peace move by Pope
Plus XII appeared to have been
launched today with the handing
Of notes to the representatives of
the five principal powers involved
in Europe's crisis.
Papal Secretary OF State Luigia
Cardinal Maglione hurried back to
the Vatican from a papal audience
at Castel del Gandolfo to consign
notes to the ENJOYS of Italy, France,
Germany, Poland and Great Brit
ain.
An informed prelate said they
contained a peace appeal.
Cardinal Maglione also talked
with representatives of YugoSlavia,
Hungary and Roumania. The pre-
lete indicated the notes to the five
powers were identical.
He said they contained new and
more tense entreaties and the pope's
prayers that the present situation
be solved by peaceful means and
not buy recourse to arms, which in
any event would be extremely dis
astrous.
Vatican sources said they thought
the present state of crisis could not
endure beyond Sunday.

Berlin, Aug. 31.-(AP)-
Adolf Hitler was reported to-

convince the Poles they should

The Russian councillor of embassy

Should Hitler win Stain over to

highly precarious position.
Further mobilization orders in
Poland yesterday were interpreted
by the Berlin government as the
answer to efforts to bring Poland

the Polish move was pro1essed in
informed quarters which spoke

ton with Russia.

London, Aug. 31.-(AP)-
The British government today

Washington, Aug. 31.-(AP)-
President Roosevelt was described
by high official today as believing
that for the time being there is no
further move which he can make
for peace.
The government, therefore, will
keep its attitude of Watchful wait
ing, it was said, in the hope that the
changes going on between
London and Berlin will open a way
toward settlement of Europe's cricis.
Officials here viewed the Euro
pean situation as follows:
1t is better psychologically, be-
cause the nations are talking, writ
ing notes and sending ambassadors.
But the issues still remain. They
may have been narrowed by the
exchanges between Great Britain
and Germany, or they may have been
broadened into the possibility Of a
wider settlement than merely the
German-Polish problem;

Then the East was suffering more
