West Sides Ready For 'Last Chance" Tonight
ROOKIE PITCHER
BOUNCES BACK
AS TIGER HOPE
Tom Seats May Prove
Answer to Detroit
Mound Woes
..... BY PAUL SCHEFFELS .....
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, April 10 (UP) "A
Jump in one year from q discarded
minor league ball-player to a high
ly = regarded prospect, left rookie
Tom Seats sitting pretty today.
Seats, skillful southpaw pitch
er, Is down South now at the De-
troit's Tigers training base in Lake
land, Fla, serving up his Slants I'M
der the watchful eye of Manager
Del Baker, who believes that last
years 22-garne winner may be a
possible solution to Detroit's mound
worries.
But just one year ago, Seats had
job with Sacramento wooden
company and was convinced his
baseball days were over. He refused
to return to organized baseball and
only after Sacramento consented to
give him a conditional contract, did
he come back. If he failed to make
the grade, the contract released him
outright. If he lasted after May Is,
he was to be paid a satisfactory
salary.
Won ~, Lost IL
With his career at stake, Seats
began pitching with his heart as
well as his head. He lost his first
start but connected on the next to
snap 10-game Sacramento losing
streak. Seats began stepping after
that anw wound up the season as
the clubs leading winner with ~
victories against IL defeats, five by
a one-run margin. In the playoffs,
he won two and dropped a 2-1, To-
inning decision. The Tigers drafted
him on Oct. 3.
His entry into professional base
ball in 1884 was as brilliant as his
near finish In 1888 was dismal. He
became the southpay ace for Lin
coin in the Nebraska State league,
with IS victories after winning
job in trial camp. He set a league
strikeout record with 218.
In the Cardinal chain next year
he won % games and lost 8 for
Of the Western Asso-
citation, setting an all-time strike
out mark of 2S1. He shuttled from
Columbus in the American Asso-
citation in 1886 to Asheville and to
Houston, then he was brought by
Sacramento.
Bounced Back and Down
Here his hard luck began. Seats
set up II wins against / defeats
at Sacramento, a first-place club
in 1887. With the same club next
year he lost his first five and then,
when he won his initial victory, was
sent back to Houston. There ne lost
five more and bounced back, I'M
wanted, to Sacramento. Sent to the
Three-I League, he quit.
However, he was persuaded to
join Decatur and finished the sea-
son with a record Of six and six.
At training camp time in 1899, Seats
was working with the wooden COM
pany, an apparent baseball failure,
but satisfied. Fortunately for him,
he changed his mind.
Today, he's tossing the ball up
to the Tigers, confident, successful
and certain he's just what the doc
tor ordered for the 'pitcher-weak"
Detroiters. Baker hopes so.

THE PAYOFF

GrissOm Making
Would Be Typical
OF Champs Magic
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor

st. Petersburg, Fla, April 10
The Yankees are having lot of
fun with Lee Thee Grissom.
handed teammate Goofy. The others
have dubbed him dimplehead.
Gomez keeps telling Grissom, OBJ
tanned from the Cincinnati Reds
in exchange for Joe Beggs, q New
ark farm hand, that he is in a
major league for the first time.
Grissom tries to get back at
Gomez by kidding him about his
hitting. Neither can hit a Softball
with a paddle.
"A pitcher doesn't have to hit
on this club" cracks Gomez. "You
saw what those other guys did last
october .ConfuciuS say: pitcher
who throw fast ball to Charley
Keller one run behind"
Gomez has been itching to again
pitch to Grissom since they hooked
up in an amusing duel in an exhibi-
ton game in Tampa year ago. 1t
seems that merry portsiders made
deal to go easy with each other.
The bases were empty when Girls
som trekked to the rubber, so Gomez
lived UP to the agreement.
GRTSSOM GIVES GOOFY
THE OLD DOUBLE CROSS
But there were two on and Girls
som could not afford to take a
chance when Gomez came up for
the first time, and Leftys squawking
about the double crossing could be
heard in Ybor City as his fellow
Californian sidearmed him right out
Of there.
To make matters worse for Gomez,
he did not get another shot at Girls
som, who was removed from the
premises before he got another turn
at bat.
Grissom hasn't been the same
since he pulled a muscle in his
pitching shoulder in 1887 working In
seven games in six days, but OBJ
tanned his chance with the world
champions on his showing against
them in spring exhibitions and in
the inning and a fraction he pitched
in the third game Of the world series
last fall.
And it would be Yankee and Joe
Mccarthy luck to have him strike
his old fireball stride again.
The long fellows ripper feels so
good that Mccarthy had to put the
brakes on him on his second day
out down here. He was that swift,
and how he loves to pour that pill
through there.
Have you ever noticed how pitch
ers apparently mediocre become
stars or rapidly straighten out into
useful workmen when they join the
well-balanced New York American
League club?

.LITHUANIANS
8 TO 5 CHOICE
TO win CAME
Contest Set for 9 P. M. at
YMCA Aces, Gam
mas in Prelim

Beaten by a dozen points In their
first start against the Knights of
Lithuania baketeers, the West Side
Speedboys basketball unit gets its
second and last chance to even the
score in the city championship ser
les when the two teams clash to-
night at the central YMCA at 9
o'clock. Percentage Pete, after an
all-night wrestle with facts and fig
ures, makes the Liths an 8 to
shot over the West Sides tonight.
Two weeks ago, the teams met on
the K. Of l.. court and when the
final whistle had blown it was Al
to IS, not more than three players
showing anything approaching good
basketball, as both teams engaged
in wild shooting circus, with shots
attempted that could not be made
with machine gun.
Since their win over the West
Sides, the K. Of L. has lost by IL
points to the famed colored Rem
Nuisance and later pushed over
Hoboken outfit by a big margin. The
West Sides have not played sched-
uled opponent since the K. of L.
game April 2 and are ready for to-
nights tussle, which will be ofilciated
by Charley Petrino, the Bridgeport
shorty who made a hit with local
fans last week.
Too Fast for Own Good
Too much running and off-bal-
ance shots allowed the West Siders
but three hoops in the first half
fhen they trailed 10 to 30, but came
to life in the third period when
they slowed down bit and cut
down on impossible shots. Advance
reports have 1t that Stanley Grey
will be pu ton center Joe Swasey
Of the Liths tonight with Joe Kalo-
sky to check Joe Boley and Johnny
Stellar sent In against Dick Tuckey.
Swasey is several inches taller than
Grey who, however, is very fast and
a good guard. The competition for
points between Stellar and Tuckey
should be one Of the most interest
ing parts Of the game, for they were
the outstanding players Of the first
game.
Tickets for the game have been
selling well, with the "Y" gym to
open at p. m. and the first game,
a prelim featuring the West Side
Aces and Gammas set for 1880 p. m.

incidents, was only the climax Of the
story of outlawry In that part OF
Montana at the turn Of the century.
And, it Is not entirely the story Of
Frank Jones. It also involves men Ike
Red Nelson, Frank Carlyle, Dutch
Henry, Kid Trailer, Reed and others
These men already were active in
rustling, killing and robbery when
Jones was still Somewhere south" 1t
was not until 1898 that Jones pushed
his weary pony across the Missouri
to seek new fields for his depredations
and joined forces with Nelson.
Nelson Early Outlaw
Before that time Nelson was the
leader OF the outlaws Of the district.
His name, Red" came from his
flaming, bushy beard and hair, and
he had q price on his head and a
public record when Jones arrived.
In Valley county, which then COM
prised what now are Sheridan, Roose-
welt and Daniels counties as well IS
Valley, he was known as a rustler
and killer.
Nelson's most noted clash with the
law was when he freed two men from
the Valley county jail at Glasgow In
1894.
At that time, a pal OF Nelson's.
named Trotter, had been put In jail
on general suspicion Of being hard
citizen. With him was a young man

cate the friction caused by human
congestion" Davis said. Everywhere
there Is confusion, and o great rest
lessness and everywhere there Is the
human search TO escape from shock.
In such a period Of transition two
types Of leaders are produced. Either
leadership OF wisdom with social
transition can be gracefully engineered.
or a leadership Of primitive brute
force by which q transition Is made
by humiliation Of the weak by the
strong In the absence OF the former
type. civilization invariably encounters
the latter type. OF such is Adolf
Hitler"
He stated Hitler's rise TO power re-
sembles the approach Of a mid-western
cyclone destroying everything in its
pathway.
Davis outlined the six stages in the
evolution of this destructive character.
reconstructing Hitler's abnormality as
a boy. mentioning that he was anti
social and politically alert but ILL
informed during his early manhood
Hitler's career and his ultimate vic
tory as chancellor Of the reich over
other German national groups gave
him a chance to unleash his attack
on the two things he hated most, the
Versailles treaty and the League Of
Nations
Davis pointed out that the reason
Hitler was left to win in Germany and
to rearm the nation was that politi-
clans Of England and France believed
that a strong Germany under Hitler
would keep communism away from
western Europe They were more an
xious about maintaining class distinc-
ton than In keeping national unity
They awoke too late to the danger OF
Hitler. he said.

One Of the largest nuggets-a lump
Of gold weighing almost a half pound
that has been found In the Butte
region in recent years, was shown by
its discoverer. 59-year-old Ramona
Troglia. Butte. TO sheriffs officers OF
the Mining city. The proud owner OF
the nugget said he has been told by
aSsayers that It is worth $25480, ac-
cording to the existing price for the
metal.
Troglia, who has been prospecting
for little more than a year. found the
specimen more than II feet beneath
the surface OF the ground on his min
ing claim southwest Of Butte last
June.
Not at all reluctant to tell open
cared listeners where he found 1t. the
lucky miner said the site Of the dis
covery Is In Little American gulch
about nine miles southwest Of Butte
The area where he mines Is leased by
Troglia.
About three inches long, the nugget
resembles q misshapen blob OF brass.
When the owner covers portions OF 1t
with his hand. the byStanders can see

European affairs, his well-reasoned
logic and excellent delivery captivated
his audience.
In the course Of his address Davis
took his audience on an intimate men
tai tour Of the political history Of
Europe after 1918. a period which saw
an Austrian army corporal tear apart
the Versailles treaty, the work Of the
greatest politicians of Europe. Now
the world Is faced with a far worse
problem than IL was during the first
World war, he pointed out.
Hitler Is the product Of a social
earthquake and the nucleus OF a hur-
ricane." Davis said. Il say the product
of social earthquake because he is
the perSonalized expression Of the
worlds unrest resulting from a clumsy
effort at social transition. For three
centuries the science Of social adjust
ment has been neglected. There are
no formulas for peace. There are no
formulas for social justice. There Is
not enough social intelligence to lubri-
