Council Bluffs, Ia, July 26 -

tiers from a third baseman into a
pitcher? What does that make Del
Baker Of Detroit, who has shifted
Rudy York from behind the plate
to first base and Hank Greenberg
from first base to the outfield?
Just the other day challenged
Joe Gordon of the New York
Yankees to a personal decathalon
match, each Of us to choose our
own list of 10 events. Knowing
Gordon didn't play golf I included
such items as driving, putting, get
ting out of bunkers, getting out Of
traps and such devious pastimes. (.
I felt bit guilty about this until
I received the Gordon list. Joe
had listed such purely llnselfish
tricks as throwing to first base,
sliding into third, fielding Texas
Lacquer and stopping line drive.
His last note-in typical 1910
Yankee fashion-was striking out
so we gave both lists to an unpre-
JUDGED third party and are both
eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Watch this space for further de-
tails.
Mixup
Just to confuse the horse race
bettors, we've now a horse named
Thirty Eight to add to Eight Thirty
The chronological factor Is
really becoming important on the
turf. There now are horses

Five o Five. Personally, I still

larly II he arrives on time. =.

Jim Farley is going to write sports
and I'm going to buy the Yankees,
don't believe word Of it. At
least I'd advise you not to read
anything Farley might write about
the McLemore-owned Yankees.
Ken Overlin, the New York YER
sion of the middleweight champion,
Is supposed to be an expert on the
subject of cocktails but I doubt If
ever he encountered one with the

Soose had more punch than
grape juice spiked with rubbing al
cohol. The man who said good
offense is the best defense obviously
never heard Of Cincinnati. The
Reds are fifth In club batting and
they are walking farther away from
the rest of the National League

the 100-yard breast stroke will be
held at the regulation distance this
year.

Has Crippled Arm
BY Art Krenz
BY STEVE SNYDER

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Detroit, July 26 - UP) = It's
a semi-final round for working men
exclusively in the National Public
Links Golf tournament today with
metal-polisher out against sales
man and an out-wrecker bucking
a man who makes rubber tires.
Over the sun-baked turf at Rack
ham Municipal Course, these four
will travel SO holes or less for the
right to meet in Saturdays cham
pionship match.
Here's the draw:
Edward j. Furgol, 22-year-old
metal polisher from Utica, N. Y,
who tied for the tournament medal
with a record 1873, VS. Robert Clark
3-year-old physicians supply sales
man from st. Paul, Mimi, holder of
the st. Paul city title;
Roy Dolce, Denver, Colo, rubber
worker who went to the quarter
finals last year VS. Mike Dietz, De-
troit auto-wrecker.
They're the last survivors Of a
field of more than 1900 who enter
ed qualifying trials weeks ago.
Crippled Arm
F'urgol, favorite of the galleries
since the tournament started be-
cause of an old arm injury which
left him with a crippled left arm,
fought his way to the semi-final
round with important victories over
Worth Stimits, Jr., Colorado Col
lege junior who tied him for the
medal, 3 and 2, and over Labron
Harris, husky wrestling instructor
at Guthrie, Okla, High school, 4
and 8.
Clark had just as much trouble in
the tough upper bracket which or
iginally included all the favorites
and defending champion Andy
Swedko of Pittsburgh. Clark ran up
against the hottest scorer of the
tournament, 18-year-old Charley
Lind, Denver High school boy whose
five tournament rounds totalled two
under par and he finally won in the
10Th hole.
He then eliminated Lou Jennings,
Portland, Ore, bank employee, who
recently won the Oregon amateur
championship. He downed Jennings
by the same one-hole margin.
The lower bracket had consider
ably less fireworks, although Dolce
was forced to 20 holes to dispose of
Edwin Harper, Pocatello, Idaho,
up. He then defeated Mike Stefan
chik, Gary, Ind, steel mill worker,
2 UP.
Dietz entered the NTH round by
defeating Donald Shock of Dayton,
O., 6 and S and Jack LaroSe, De-
troit, 8 and 2.

AyiIu Con1ucho's Address
Mexico Wants Prosperity Bosed on Justice,
New President Declares in Inaugural

the immediate desire that in very
near future social security shall
protect every Mexican in his dark
hours, the orphans, the widows,
against illness, when unemployed, in
old age.
All these humane ideals can only
be fulfilled by taking advantage OF
the abundant resources which we
must make productive with our
hands.
am speaking to the farmers so
that they will have faith in the land
they toll. We shall give every guar
antee to the legitimate property Of
the farmer so that he may cultivate
his parcels with the love that comes
from the certainty that one shall
harvest what one sows.
I wish to speak also to the youth.
They must have faith in life. in
order to be able to go after every
creative initiative. The Govern
ment is today in a position where
it can fulfill its obligation to open
the road of prosperity to them.
We count mainly on private
initiative for development of our
economic expansion and in and on
the vital energies. One of the most
important factors in this expansion
shall be the credit which we must
put at the reach of every one and
at a low cost, and the organization
of this credit shall receive our i'm
mediate and decided support. The
people of Mexico need credit and
We shall give it to them.
The entire nation wishes pros
perity, but not prosperity in any
odd form. Our government shall
never be an instrument which can
be easily handled by privileged in
terests for any one. We want a
prosperity based on justice and un-
der which the spiritual values OF
Mexico shall progress.
Our government shall look after
the health of the people, We shall
see that all legal rights belonging
to the working masses shall remain
whole in their struggle for existence
The state would not be fulfilling
its obligations if it were not to pro-
tee with its power all workingmen
who lack direct control over the
economic structure and instruments
of production. But these projections
must be in harmony with the prin-
ciple that the common welfare of
a nation cannot be at stake for the
benefit of a few. Social progress
demands justice for all.

In order to guide our steps better
through our present time we have
the very bright beacon of the demo-
cratic ideal in our internal life and
our decided adhesion to the interna-
tional Pan-American doctrine.
1t is indeed a great fortune that
the Americas are united in the COM
mon thought of defense against any
aggression against our continental
doctrine Of equality, respect for our
rights and reciprocity.
This doctrine of peaceful and just
relations constitutes the only hope
we have for the salvation of civilized
international rights, which we need
so much in these trying times of
blood and horror.
Nothing divides us in this Amer
lea of ours. The differences that
may exist among our peoples are sur
passed by the strong desire of max
ing an everlasting, friendly CONT
mental life, strengthened by mutual
respect and by making the power of
reason dominate brute force. We
must prefer peaceful cooperation
over mechanized destruction.
Defense Common Cause.
These sentiments, proven by time
and made slogan In this dark hour,
shall unite us tighter day by day.
The important fact stands out that
our nations must feel the evidence
that the defense of America is a
common cause to all of us. That in
all of them the destinies of our coun-
tries, the future of our sons and
our historical responsibility before
the great intellectuals of humanity
in the entire world, is depending
The entire continent, united under
the same principles, and covering
well every weak spot in it, shall
render itself invincible. 1t does not
matter that many of the nations
are weak and small. The fact re-
mains that our cause is common
one and that our national econo-
mics, great and small, the one Joined
to the other, will strengthen them
selves and give the continent ar
economic power which no one shall
be able to break down.
We must prepare our peoples tt
face bravely and resolutely every
obstacle put in front of them, anc
they shall find themselves able u
come out of the crisis affecting hu'
manity today more united than be-
fore in an everlasting power found
ed on victorious ideal pursued anc
achieved unanimously.
