Greenberg Has Made No
Decision Yef-Missed
Ruth S Mark
BY DALE STAFFORD

DETROIT, April Histories have
been written about big Hang Green
berg's plans to try for new major
league home run record this season
and about his decision not to go for
it. The truth is the husky Detroit
Tiger first-baseman does not know
what his program will be.
MIR. Briggs Owner Walter O.
Briggs of the Tigers seems to want
me to go after the batting leadership
and the runs-batted-i record says
Greenberg, who belted So homers
year ago, only two less than Babe
Ruth's all-time major league record.
TN try to do what he wants me
TO do but you know how it is For
example, if my batting average drops
and 1 am among the leaders in
home runs, I'll probably starting
'teeing off in spite of myself. I'd
be telling a lie if I said ] didn't
like to knock that ball mile
Won't Change Style
Whatever happens, Greenberg in
dicated his style at the plate will
not be altered. -''rs n
IT don't have to choke my bat if
I'm just trying to meet the ball" he
explained I'm strong enough to
get the bat around when swinging
from the end. That makes it possible
for me to give 1t that little. extra
slam if feel confident OF hitting it,"
Baseball critics generally acclaim
the 2S-year-old Greenberg as one of
the working and most in
telligent athletes ever to wear a
Detroit uniform. A year ago when
he was hot in pursuit Of Ruth's
homer mark, he was at the ball park
almost every morning attempting
to improve his batting style.
His 10th Season
The 1889 season is the tenth in
organized baseball for Greenberg
and his seventh in the majors, His
career opened in unspectacular style
with Hartford, of the Eastern league,
and Raleigh, of the Piedmont cir
cult, in 1890 Stops at Evansville,
Ind, and Beaumont. Texas, pre-
ceded his arrival at Detroit
In 1885 Hank led the American
League III runs batted in with 40
and in total bases with 389. Again
in 1887 he was tops In runs batted
in with 1873, only one under Lou &C.
/ lirig's American league record.

 There probably isn't Q woman in the world who doesn't want to look younger than she is, Yet Q great many do nothing about it except wonder whether or not they really do look their age.
 Here are 6 few simple rules for staying young which, if taken seri- onsly, ought to enable the average woman to fool all of the people oil of the time.
 Check up on your posture at least once o week. Sloping shoulders, Q lump on the back of the neck, a sunken chest and Q protruding stomach - all characteristics which we associate with age - are noth- ing more or less than posture faults.
 Get on your bathroom scales once a month. If you have gained 6
 pound, take steps to lose 1t imnle- diately. It's an easy matter to lose one pound, but 0 terrible task to lose ten. Just remember that obesity is associated with maturity and old age-never with youth. Learn to Pay Attention
 Don't get out of the habit of walk ing, Those who shuffle along clumsily at 30 generally are those who gave up walking except when forced to 1t between the ages of 30 and 35.
 Don't let your mind wander when someone is speaking to you. Force yourself to concentrate on what he is saying even though 1t isn't par- ticularly interesting. Being an eager, enthusiastic listener is definite mark of youth.
 Don't excuse all of your little faults with T am what I am and there's nothing I can do about ,t." Constantly trying to improve your self Is 0 youthful trait-not a senile one.
 Groom yourself more meticulously as the years go on. Only e very young person can get by with stray wisps of hair or a sweater which doesn't fit as smoothly as 1t should. And even she can't get by with them , any too well.

Ono Of the grandest entertain. ments ever made for the screen M the production "The Beachcomber' which. arrived at the Warner Bros. State theater yesterday for q four day engagement
 Tho film marks the higest point in tho distinguished career of the great screen actor, Charles Laugh. ton, and it is needless to say that the capacity audiences attending ali performances enthusiastically applauded his great characterization of "dinger Ted"
 Based on . W. Somerset Maug. ham story 1t opens with "dinger Ted" disrupting the peace 0f a tropical Dutch Indies Island. Eng. fish remittance man and beaclicoinb- CT, he s ct odds with the schemes Of things on the island. The islands Dutch Controleur, c missionary named Miss Jones, and her brother Dr. Jones. have q hard time trying to control him. Yet the Controleuf prefers his company to that Of the strict, humorless Miss Jones afid her fuesy brother. At the same time Miss Jones is having difficult time keeping "dinger" away from her native girl students.
 In the course Of the story "din- ger" and Miss Jones are marooned on c reef for 6 night, along with two native boys. She is frantic with fear. But Laughton ignores her--a fact which brings mingled emotions in her reaction. ghe decides that it is her duty to bring out the good in his nature. Her method Of doing this, and his battle for his free- dom, provide interesting and stirnu- lating motivation for the remainder Of the drama.
 Charles Laughton's wife, Elsa Lancaster delivers c fine performs anee as Miss Jones. Tyronne Gu- thfie, ifi the role Of Dr. Jones, and Robert Newton as the Controieur, are outstanding members Of the sup- porting cast.
 All h oil here is c picture y0u can't afford to miss. Laughton iD the slyest, funniest role Of his career will roll you in tic aisIes when you see him in this tropical laugh hit. You'll laugh ct him as the king Of an island paradise, ad0red by C hundred South Sea inaideng, and you'll chuckie as he struggles 10 get away when one woman he doesn't want sets her cap for him, Plan t0 see 1t before the closing performance Monday evening,

 But that one about crying was too much for me. So l said, We are getting in the car tomorrow and going to camp and bring Mary home"
 We arrived. The first glimpse I had of my small daughter, she was astride spirited horse. She rode right up to us and there was no hint of homesickness about her. There were rugs all around when she slid of her steed and she joined the litle group.
 I felt Q tug ct my arm. T don't want to go home" Mary whispered, T love 1t here now"
