NEW YORK. April 25.-Scoopa-

suspect Joe Cronin is headed
back to Washington. although it's
a cinch he can have another con-
tract from the Red Sox If he
wants it. Maj. Bob Neyland,
Tennessee's famous coach, has
fallen hard for that Florida fish

Mike Jacobs going into so many
huddles with the television

son, the swimmerette, has split
with Coach Willis Cooling, who
took her as an unknown and
made her one of the greatest.

In Relief Roles

Beck, 33, Puts PhiIs
In Upper Bracket;
Yonks Not Slowed
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

You dug down into the records
and found his full name is walter
William Beck" and that he was
with Brooklyn back in 1884 That
stamped him Immediately. Once a
Dodger, always Dodger.
Then you looked back some more,
and discovered this foot 2 right
handler has been kicking around
baseball for is years, that he was
33 years old last week and that way
back in "a he was with the st. Louis
Browns before graduating" to
double-A company.
There's combination for you
the Dodgers and the Browns. So
where does he land? Why, where
else but the Phillies?
So step right up and say howdv
to the relief hurler who's making
talk in the Natinal League. He's
from Decatur. ILL.,, has been with 12
clubs in eight leagues in IS years
and the Phils signed him up as a
free agent this spring after he'd
been knocking around the Pacific
Coast League four seasons, winning
SO and losing II. He was let out
there last summer because of an
injured hip and weak eyes, but he
got fixed up.
Beck Earning His Way.
Since the season opened a wee,

Last week he went three score

Two days later he was back again.
Brooklyn in the 18th inning ana

Yesterday Doc Prothro gave him
the hurry call again, against the
Giants. The New Yorkers had
pushed across five runs of Ma:
Butcher and Jim Henry in a biz
eighth inning and had the winning
runs on base. Our hero ambled in
from the bullpen and proceeded to
give the business to Bill Terrys
heaviest ball belters. He got Harry
Danning on grounder to end the
eighth. and then in the ninth fan
ned Master Melvin OFT and Frank
Demaree and retired Bananas Bo-
nura on a fly, to rescue q 6-5 win
for the Phils.
This boosted the Quaker City citi-
zens into fourth place and dropped
the Giants and the ST. Louis Car
dinals downstairs. The Cards and
Cincinnati Reds were idle.
Cubs, Yanks Unchecked.
The Chicago Cubs and New YORK
Yankees, last years pennant win
ners, stayed out in front in thei,
respective loops, with no signs of
being overhauled. The Cubs knocked
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, 60, with
that ex-American Lacquer, Lefty

Governor McMullen made his sec
Ond trip TO Washington last Friday
for personal appeal for emergency
funds in Delaware. The first time
was in an effort to obtain relief

Governor McMullen said Mr. Fech-

more than following the mandate of
Congress in ordering the closing of
the three camps, employing 900 men.
Cooperation Is Sought
Closer cooperation between the
state and Mr.. Fechner was urged by
Governor McMullen so that the ma
tional CCC director could carry out
the laws as to the CCC without penal
izing the state.
Governor McMullen declared Mr..
Fechner and he are willing to do all
in their power to keep the CCC
camps operating in Delaware.
OF the three camps affected, one is
a drainage unit and another is a for
estry camp near Georgetown, while
the third is a drainage camp at
Wyoming. A fourth camp for Ne

developed when il was agreed that a
conference would be held on that
camp between Mr.. Taber and Fred
MOrrell, field administrator of fores-
try work under Mr.. Fechner.
Mr.. Fechner was told by Senator
Hughes that Delaware needs to con-
tinue the mosquito projects. He said
that where bitches have been put in
to drain lowlands, mosquitoes have
been eliminated and the forestry and
drainage work has been OF inesti-
mable benefit to the citizens of the
lower counties.
Williams Makes Appeal
Representative Williams made a
strong appeal that Delaware not be
penalized. Pointing to the fact he
served on the Delaware State For
estry Commission, he said he was
interested in its work He also point
ed to the importance of the drainage
work done by the CCS camps, ex-
planning that at one time, half the
drainage of Georgetown emptied into
Chesapeake Bay and half into the
Delaware Bay.
He said the youth of the state also
has derived great benefits from the
CCC camps in the way they alleviat-
ed unemployment and the instruction
the boys received.

When cars pass, step off the road
Walk ON the left side of the roadway.
The pedestrian problem is a very

Home Safety
If there are small children in your

Many small children are hurt ev-

not come to the meeting next Mon
day night and let's get organized ?
Wallace McFaul has some equip
ment left from the last time we had
a team.
II has been said that our sisters,
the Rebekahs, are considering or
ganizing a team Of soft ball. Think
this would be something well worth

1t has been done other places why
not in Milford?

mittee on the Odd Fellows State
Rally to be given in Wilmington on
