Nov that a new baseball season
y is blooming again, there are
possibly a number of clients who
would like to be carried from the
present into the closing days of
September. The main purpose of
this quick voyage will be to see the
standings of the clubs on closing
day-not opening day.
Here is your Correspondents

looks:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
No. New York Yankees, by a
much closer margin.
No. 2-Boston Red Sox, with fight
ing chance.
No. 3-Cleveland Indians, with Bob
Teller.
No. 4-Detroit Tigers, the power
house tribe.
No. 5-Chicago White Sox, may fin
ish fourth.
No. 6-Washington Senators, slight
ly improved.
No. 7-Philadelphia Athletics. still
on green side.
No. 8-St. Louis Browns, in the old
homestead.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
No. 1-St. Louis Cardinals, by an
eyelash.
No. 2-Cincinnati Reds, just about
as good.
No. 3-Brooklyn Dodgers, improved
over last year.
No. 4Chicago Cubs, due for better
luck.
No. 5-Pittsburgh Pirates, may fin
ish higher.
No. 6-New York Giants, hardly
ready for long route.
No. Boston Bees, not enough
punch.

days best bet.

The Yankees have been good
enough to win going away, by kill

they are slipping so are the Rockies.
They have the pitching and the

youth and experience.

Coodall Test Next

His woods are played with .
swing as smooth as q lullaby. He
is one Of the best of the iron players,
and is especially good around the
greens. Because of his always we'll
oiled performance, Jimmy has
been called the present days near
est approach to the "old masters"-
Jones, Hagan and Sarazen.
The 29-year-old Texas pro is ex-
pected to make strong bid for the
annual $1,000 Goodall round robin
tournament in May at Flushing,
Long Island. Fifteen top pros meet
for this event, which is generally
agreed to be one of the stiffest tests
of the entire year. Following that
will come the National Open, to be
held at Cleveland in June. Jimmy
is looked upon as the contender to
beat for the National Open title.
In other words, Laughing Boy"
is going to be very busy this sum-
mer. At present he is at his home
club in Houston, but starting in May
he'll be hitting the tournament trail
for all he's worth.

The Older League

Conditions in the National are
much looser, much more tangled
and uncertain, than they are in the
American.
The Cardinals and Reds are close
to tOssup. Bill McKechnie needs
much more help for his two star
pitchers than he got last year. Der
ringer and Walters are two of the
best in baseball, but Thompson,
Whitley Moore and Wander Nicer,
plus some rookie, must come to
their aid.
The Cardinals, young team last
year, came from IA games back
after a slow start to make a pen
nant bid in late September. You
must admit they have been none too
hot this spring. But big league
race is something different.
If they all pile in and give the
best they have, the net result should
be enough to win. They have a
strong combination Of youth and ex-
perience in their pitching staff-and
they have Mize and Medwick.
can't figure any other pennant
possibilities from the other six
clubs. Brooklyn, Chicago and Pitts
burgh should be well punched.
There is little to choose here.
Frisch will make the Pirates dan

can't figure the Giant infield get
ting any too far. Nor the Giant out

nicely. They are quite apt to do
so. But don't believe they can
hold any hot pace after June or
July. There are too many weak
spots on Terry's club-too many
fading veterans.
Anything can happen in this
league for the first few weeks.
After that ! expect to see the Reds
and Cardinals gradually pull away
not too far, but far enough to carry

face. Quite bit here will depend
on Gehringer's condition, one of the
great ball players of all time.
Jimmy Dykes may swing his
White Sox into the first division, but
it will take gallant thrust to ac-
complish this.
Mr.. Mack's Athletics are still an
uncertain quantity. He has some
good young talent, but it still needs
more seasoning. His team. may

WASHINGTON, July II.
(UP)-The house today ap-
proved and sent to the White
House legislation authorizing
revision of the Boulder Dam
financial structure.
The house accepted senate chang
eS in the measure within a few
minutes of the upper chambers ac-
ton. In passing the measure, the
senate overrode the objections of
New Mexico senators who protested
the elimination of amendments af-
fecting a project in their state.
The bill would authorize the in
terror department to take over
Boulder Dam and promulgate rates
for the sale of its power. 1t was
been sponsored in the senate by
Sen. Key Pittman, D., New.
All receipts from the sale of pow-
er would be paid into the Colorado
river dam fund. A portion of this
fund would be distributed in 100000
annual payments to Arizona and
Nevada.
From the remainder, S5OO,O 900
would be earmarked annually for
the development of future projects
or projects now under survey. The
objections of the New Mexico CEN

Preparations for continuing the

tribution of the harvest is to bc

Rationing of food among the
French people is reported to be
strictly enforced with large sup
plies already being sent into Ger

Nazis Attempt to

American Nations
South Americans Warned

Nears, Report

WASHINGTON, July II.
(UP) - Secretary of State
Cordell Hull today asserted
that man diplomatic
agents were trying to intimi-
date a number of the Central Amer
lean governments which will partic-
ipate in the forthcoming Havana
conference.
Hull said he had heard reports
of German warnings to certain Lat
in American nations against taking
any action that might be termed
anti-Nazi at the conference of all
American republics beginning July
20.
He said the warnings apparently
were species of intimidation
against nations whose sovereignty,
integrity and freedom of action
were entitled to respect by all other
nations. The forthcoming consulta-
tion at Havana is an inter-Americar
conference called by agreement
among the American nations to

those American nations, he said. He
declared there was no reason why
other countries should attempt to
attack the sovereignty, integrity or
freedom of action of the nations
concerned.
In this general connection, Hull
said. this government had had no
conversations or discussions with
the British government on the sub
ject of extending at the Havana
conference the proposed plan Of
pooling the export surpluses of the
American nations to include the
natural resources of British pos
sessions in this hemisphere. He
said that almost every week some
nation or nations in various parts
of the world put forward suggested
plans and ideas for the considera-
ton of other countries.
