NEW YORK, May 9. UPD-The
most set-up man in baseball today
was the janitor in charge of the
American league cellar.
He wore a carnation in the lapel
of his overalls and twirled his
broom as if it were a malacca cane.
He had classy tenants. at last.
The New York Yankees. long time
occupants of the penthouse. had
come down to the basement.
The janitor's happiness was un-
derstandable. After listening to the
suuawks of such shabby and habit
ual cellar dwellers as the st. Louis
Browns and the Philadelphia Ath-
letics. he glowed with pride to have
such poor but proud occupants as
the New York Yankees.
For one thing. the Yankees had
some pennants to tack up on the
wall And they brought some silver
ware too. The head of the family
even had a big silver cup on which
was engraved Champions Of the
World, 1896, 1887, 1888 and 1889
The only thing that disturbed the
janitor WIS the fact that his new
tenants. the Yankees, didn't act as
if they intended to stay long. They
didn't tidy up the place a bit. but
spent their time looking out OF the
window at the upstairs tenants,
AS the janitor's helper. I went
to the Yankee stadium Yesterday al :
ternoon to see the Yankees get the
KEYS to the basement. They GOT
them from the Cleveland Indians
the temporary and giddy occupants
of the seventh floor front American

would expect of true blueblooos

Thinks Consultation Will

BY GARNETT ID. HORNER
Star Staff Correspondent.

HAVANA. July 2O.-Secretary of
State Hull. who fought as a soldier
AZ years ago to help free Cuba, re-
turned today to help formulate a
cooperative program for defending
the hard-won economic and political
independence OF all the 81 American
republics against rapidly intensity.
ing new dangers.
Coming here to participate in II,
emergency meeting Of American for-
eign ministers to consider measures
for Insulating the New World against
European war repercussions, Mr..
Hull recalled that 1t was his first
visit to Cuba since his service as q
captain of Tennessee volunteers in
the Spanish-American War.
Different Kind Of Fight.
Expressing happiness at being in
Cuba again he said impressions
formed during his comradeship in
arms with Cuban heroes have been
treasured memories for over 40
years. 1t was a different kind of
fight facing him this time and he
was confident of its success as he
departed from Miami. He said he
was returning to Cuba as "a friend
among friends"
I'VE are meeting to discuss prob
lens essential to the life of the
Americas" Mr.. Hull said. II have
no doubt that this consultation will
prove to be an added demonstration
of the vigor and vitality of the Amer
lean republics working together IN
their common interests"
AS the representative of the
Nation upon which most OF the
financial and military burden
would fall in any joint defense
scheme, Mr.. Hull's principal task is
to reconcile possibly conflicting views
among Latin American representa-
tives so that the Americas may pre-
sent an effective, united front
against any form of peril that might
arise from war developments.
Conference Opens Tomorrow.
The conference, opening tomor-
row with a welcoming address by
the President of Cuba, was initiated
by Mr.. Hull soon after German
troops marched into Holland, Rel-
giurn and France. His principal
concern then was about the danger
of Dutch and French possessions
in this hemisphere-particularly the
Netherlands West Indies which would
menace the Panama Canal If con-
trolled by hostile power-falling
into Nszi hands.
The United States proposed that
