Many Victories Due
To Glowing Feats
OF Recruits
Red Sox, Chisox, Browns,
Giants Aided Greatly
By Younger Stors
BY JUDSON BAILEY:
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Rockies are rampaging in the
major leagues this spring In per-
haps the greatest spree the fresh
man class. as q unit, ever has had.
There is scarcely a club in either
circuit which isn't depending on
one or more recruits for regular
service. Looking back merely to
yesterdays play proves the point.
The Red Sox beat the Tigers, rs,
and five of their seven runs were
knocked in by Ted williams with
a pair of homers. Williams, who
came of age just last October, after
a great season with Minneapolis in
the American Association. Is one Of
the best reasons the Sox are press
ing the Yankees from half q game
back.
The Chicago White Sox replaced
Washington in third place by beat
ing the Nationals, 4-3. and two Of
their runs came on homer by
Catcher Ken Silvestri, up this year
from ST. Paul to do q great back
stopping Job.
Rockies Aid Browns, Giants.
The st. Louis Browns humbled
the Athletics, SO, with John Henry
Kramer, a professional pitcher just
three years, going the route on
eight hits. It was his third start
and second victory against no de-
feats. He was given plenty Of work.
ing margin by Sophomore Mel MAJ
zera, who batted in four runs on
two homers.
In the National League, the New
York Giants trounced the st. Louis
Cardinals, 6-3 Here it was Nanny
Salvo, late strikeout king Of the Pa
ciflc Coast League, who weathered
Johnny Mics third homer of the
year in a 3-run first inning and
finished the game with total of
seven hits. He is the only Giant
pitcher except Harry Gumbert to
60 the route this year.
The losing teams have some
rookie stars, too. The leading bat
ter of the senior circuit is Merrilly
May Of the Philies. who had per-
feet day at bat even though his
team was beaten by the Pirates, 6-4,
on home runs by Jim Tobin and
Johnny Rizzo and some swell relief
hurting by Russ Bauers.
Mungo Is Brooklyn Star.
No youngsters figured in Brook
lyn's SO conquest of the Chicago
Cubs, but each team has a fresh
man pitcher who has won two and
lost none-Whitlow Wyatt for the
Dodgers and Gene Liuard for the
Cubs. Yesterdays game became
the trophy of Van Lingle Mungo,
who gave up only one run in eight
innings of relief pitching and batted
in two himself.
Both the Yankees and Cleveland
Indians also are using rookie cylin-
ders, although they played minor
parts In the champions 10-inning
1916 victory. This marked the col
lapse of Bob Feller's playhouse, for
the young Indian lost his first game
after three victories by giving 10
walks and 10 hits in 8 1-3 innings.
The New York standout was veteran
George Selkirk, who got his third
homer with two on in the fourth
and singled home an extra run in
the tenth.
The Boston Bees and Cincinnati
Reds were rained out.

for better early fishing. Distance
is a factor, however, and you can

The big drum are on the north

Bozman on Broad Greek, a tribu-

A party of Anaoostia Hixh

ROLAND Lund, baseball and foot

Base Stealing Acts
Cases Specially
This Campaign
Daring. Runner Of Mats
Apt~ to beut Werber's
Modern Theft Mark
BY EARL HILLIGAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Baseball fans
who get their biggest thrills from
watching a daring base runner
circle the bags should train their
eyes this season on George Wash
ington Case, the 23-year-old Wash
ington outfelder.
In his first II games this cam
paign Case stole six bases. And he
pilfered them in a style which gave
promise Of his developing into one
of the best base runners In several
years.
Hes got plenty of foot" said
Manager Bucky Harris. He also
has lots to learn. But he is willing
to learn and has chance OF be-
coming a truly fine base runner"
When base stealing records are
reviewed, it's obvious that Case,
now in his second year in the ma ajors,
has a chance to make quite name
for himself on the paths. The
American League mark for stolen
bases is 96. made by the incom-
parable Ty Cobb through 156 games
in 1915. Since 1920, however, the
best mark has been only So, COM
piled that year by Sam Rice Of
Washington. The next best mark
was 81, by Ben Chapman in 1881.
Since 1884 the best performance
has been 40, made by Bill Werber
while with Boston.
Case, should he maintain his
present pace, would at least better
Werber's mark. He usually scores
from second on any outfleld single
and from first on double to right
center. In addition, he's a con-
sistent batter, good enough to hit
.305 last year and stay in the regular
lineup. He's fairly good bunter.
Defensively, he Is good both on
ground and fly balls, and observers
say he yet has made no throws to
the wrong base-usually the test of
an intelligent gardener.
The modern National League rec
ord for stealing bases is 80, made in
1911 through 153 games by Robert
Bescher of Cincinnati. Back in the
20's the National Leaguers used to
keep pace and even excel American
Leaguers in pilfering sacks, but the
Junior circuit has held a decided
edge every year since 1880. In that
year "Kiki" Cuyier pilfered 81 bases.
In 1881 frankie Friseh stole 28
sacks, and no National Lacquer has
equaled that mark since.

People are just putting their
heads in the sand when they say
they don't like to see an army on
the street, Mrs. Roosevelt told her
press conference today in answering
criticisms about the use of soldiers
along the line of march for Mica
raguan President Somoza's parade
here last week.
I'D rather see soldiers on the
street doing peace-time work than
preparing for war;" she declared.
She scoffed at the charge that
the United States is following in
the footsteps of Mussolini and Hitler
by using soldiers in parades and
explained that in the United States
people aren't called to drill for the
mere sake of drilling.
The soldiers were called, she said,
to do honor to a visiting dignitary
as we'll as to give protection. She
pointed out that soldiers would
again be called to duty for the re-
ception of the King and Queen Of
England and that when the Presi-
dent went to South America the
streets were lined with soldiers and
said 1t was the part Of the United
States to return such = display In

Before leaving the subject Of the
prospective visit Of the British roy

ban on details for the reception.
No drastic changes are being made
in the suite the King and Queen will
occupy in the White House. Mrs.
Roosevelt said. The rooms have been
thoroughly cleaned, and where
painting was needed, painting was
done. Several new rugs have been
bought for the White House, she
said, but that was only because
others needed to be replaced.
At the conference, she read note
ordering the newspaperwomen to
provide special identification to get
in the White House, in line, the note
said, with the general tightening Of
lines around the Presidents home.
She said she did not know whether
the note came from the ushers' Office
or from the Secret Service.
Asked why the President had not
suggested a more detailed plan for
world peace conference, she said
she believed he was in the same po-
sition as the Pope. If his suggestions
were too specific, she went on, it
might provide too many things for
people to criticize.
She said the important thing was
to get the nations of the world
around q conference table. She
pointed out, however. that these
views were her own and that she had
not discussed the matter with the
President.

Although declining to discuss any

by a press conference statement

Congress would clear the tax laws
of business deterrents and thus
encourage business to take normal
investment risks.
In that earlier statement, the
Secretary said:
Il sincerely hope that Congress
will take a careful look at the tax
law and see whether there are any

F. B. |. CONDUCTING
Probe Affecting
Courts Here
Murphy WithhoIds
Details; Denies Newman
Is Under Inquiry

An investigation that affects the
courts and other conditions here
is being conducted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Attorney
General Murphy announced today.
Declining to 60 into details, the
Attorney General told press con-
ference the inquiry had been in
progress several weeks and named
United States District Attorney
David I. Pine as one of those with
whom the situation had been dis
cussed.
Asked if the Department of JUS
tice study was the outgrowth of the
disclosures in the first Warning trial
which resulted in a jury-flxing
scandal, or flowed from some later
development, the Attorney General
answered firmly:
Something that happened later.
Mr.. Murphy answered mo" to a
question if Police Judge Hobart
Newman is under investigation y
1t previously had been learned,
however, that Judge Newman is ex-
pected to make answer to published
charges of neglect of duty.
The Attorney General emphasized
that the local Police Department
was not involved in the investiga-
ton. although he said it might
touch some individual member of
the force.
In announcing the local inquiry
the Attorney General said plans
are under way for a general i'm
provement in personnel administra-
ton throughout the department,
both in Washington and the field,
and that a tightening up in the
operations of all United States mar
shals' Offices is contemplated.
The new director of personnel,
William Brownrigg, he explained, is
making a study Of personnel, out Of
which is expected to grow a model
merit system" in the department.
Mr.. Murphy specified in this con-
nection that it was proposed to re-
classify positions where such action
was called for. and to accompany
the changes with pay raises; he was
emphatic in expressing his inten-
ton to see that promotions in the
department were made "on merit
rather than favoritism."
It was recalled by one questioner
that a great stumbling block to ad-
vancement in Government service
for a number of years had been the
inability of the agencies to get
funds, and the Attorney General
was asked If he expected to over
come this.
He said he did.
Attorney General Murphy had
planned to bring the marshals here
shortly for conference of the same
sort as that in which the United
States attorneys recently partici-
pated, but lack of funds precluded
this and the meeting has gone over
until September.
