Edward N. Lewis

Edward N. Lewis, executive secre-
tary Of the National Cathedral As
sociation, has returned to Wash
ington from the Pacific Coast con-
vinced that the movement for
moral rearmament already has be-
come "a new world force for peace
In which every one, however humble
and inexperienced, may have a
part"
The meetings which he attended
In California, Mr.. Lewis said yes
terday, were altogether inspiring"
II have come back home" he ex-
planned, with a more comprehen-
sive conception of the vast expanse
Of our country and its unlimited re-
sources and a keen realization of
the matchless opportunity which
America has to give moral and
spiritual leadership to the world.
I also have a renewed convic-
ton that the judgment of the
people is sound and can be trusted
when they have the honest facts
on any issue"
Mr.. Lewis was accompanied on
his trip by his daughters, Miss Jane
and Miss Miriam Lewis. They work.

Ryder Golf Cup
Meet Here Next
BY HENRY NcLF>IORE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The
big gentlemen who operate the
Professional Golfers association
from behind bigger badges
probably will deny it, because
they aren't quite ready TO make
the announcement but the Ryder
cup matches with England this
year will be played here.
The date will he sometime In
November and the site will he
the comparatively new Ponte
Nedra Country club, whose roll
ing links are hard by the sea,
some 25 miles out of this town.
/ learned this yesterday when i
ran into Walter Hagen, who has
Captained all of the American
Ryder cup teams Of the past,
and who will serve in the same
capacity this year.
In perfect condition and
camels hair coat, the Halg was
giving the layout careful
study. Reluctant at first TO give
any reason for his interest in
the course. he finally admitted
that it was being given serious
consideration for the matches.
As | got il, the only snag the
Ponte Nedra officials and the =.
G. A. heads have run into is one
of money. The =. G. A. needs
about $4,000 to operate the
RYDER cup matches without fear
of loss. and that is the guaran-
tee II has asked. The unof-
fetal report is that Ponte Nedra
thinks a $4,000 guarantee
would be sufficient.
Hagen thinks the Ponte Nedra
course a great test of golf.
Long, eXacting and constantly
swept bN stiff wind off the
bordering ocean, II calls for
every shot. The greens are big
and ndulating; man-made
mounds stipple its narrow fair
ways; acres Of sand wait to
catch the off-line shot. and In
my round ! saw enough water
hazards TO house every fish this
side of the Mississippi.
The naming Of Ponte Nedra
would be very sporting gesture
toward the English team. The
English players are al home by
the sea. Their games are adapt
ed 10 links where the winds play
tricks as they do az Ponte
Vedra. II would give the visi-
tors . real chance to win on
this side. something that would
be very good for golf.

Frank Croucher's dazzling

timely hitting and Dizzy
Trout's nifty twirling.
For the Tigers to get up there
and claw the Yanks. the above or
similar happenings would have 10
occur. Most of all the Tigers
chances depend on Sehoolboy
Rowe's return to form.
SHORT IN THE ARM
Ii Rowe's wing comes around
after a hard summer in the Texas
league, it would be a shot in the
arm to the entire Tiger club. They
didn't have big winner on their
staff last year-a fellow who could
so in there and go TO town in a
crucial series. They had fellows
like Ailing Tommy Bridges, who
Won ID; Vernon Kennedy, who
won u and was almost useless
after mid-season: and Eldon Aux
er, who won IL and was shipped to
the Red Sox during the winter.
Del Baker, starting his first
full season As Mickey Coch-
rane's successor, realizes the
Tigers will rise or fall on their
pitching. He has l. Fingers
in camp, and hopes from this
group 10 fashion a formidable
staff. His hest bets are Rowe,
who hasn't had a single twitch
in his sOupbone this spring;
the veterans. Bridges, Gill,
Lawson. Benton and Kennedy
from last years staff; Dizzy
Trout and John Tate, a pair
of rockies from Beaumont;
ka ,nIahratnd Freddy
Hutchinson, who cost the
Tigers 100000 in cash and
talent.
Hutchinson is the most talked
of rookie in Florida, SURPRISING
even the Yanks' highly publicized
Charlie Keller. The arguments
wage thick and hot on Hutch. with
one group claiming he hasn't the
speed, experience or technique to
make the grade, while the other
side labels him a natural ball play
er who can't miss. Only time will
tell.
He won 25 games at Seattle
says Baker. and you can't laugh
that off. l don't care what his
style is if he can get the side
out that's all there is to pitching
anyway
OUTFIELD PROBLEM
The other spot on the Detroit
club which is demanding a lot of
Bakers time is the outfield. Only
one job is filled-right field by
Pete Fox. Temporarily Chef Laabs,
who has shortened up on his bat
ting grip, is in center; and Roy
Cullenbine, who played % games
last year and hit .2S4, aid Dixie
Walker are battling for lett field.
There is good chance that the
Tigers will make a deal for an
other outfielder before May, pos
sibly Earl Averill of the Indians.
The infield il loaded with
class and power with Hank
Greenberg at first, Charley
Gehringer at second. Frank
Croucher at short and Pinky
Higgins at third. Croucher,
whose broken leg probably
