SECRET SECOND THREE ARTICLES Frenchmen Now Too Sophisticated But Women Spies Still Worry Them
Glamor, Francs Buy Secrets
 Of Armies
This is the second of three articles describing recOrd-break- ing espionage activities in the European war.
BY THOMAS M. JOHNSON NEA Service Military Writer

The war may seem to lack thrills but not so the secret war. To those "in the know" the struggle of the spies is secret service op- eration unparalleled in history.
 Once the sport of kings, today war is the sport of sorcerers, who play for power an glory and sometimes existence - with loaded dice. ot only are stakes big, but players all legion. Spies are be- ing turned out with mass produc- tion methods.
 The Bri ish launch spy hunt among hundreds of thousands of refugees and sailors, including 36,000 German women, some of whom are said to have married Englishmen with double motives. Always big numbers!
 In 1918. there was only one secret radio station on the Vest ern Front-French-behind the German lines. In the modern war, the British have detected a dozen German one all over the British empire - South Africa, Australia, New Zealand Of a score impris- oned. the key man was a former operator on Count von Luckner's famous yacht, Sea Devil" All the stations were along her course.
 Today, the whole of the British Isles is covered by &n organiza- ton of radio engineers listening for spy rroadcasts; ana some times hearing German announcers describe for the British public de- tails of their supposedly secret de- lenses. The French have radio trucks cruising continuously,

Dizzy Dean HurIs
Two.Hif Game for
Chicago Victory

CHICAGO. April 9. CUP)-The
Screwball with the nothing ball. one
Dizzy Dean of the Chicago Cubs
tipped off the boys along the line
today that's he's not washed up
yet.
Just as Ole Diz was about to be
consigned to the Scrapheap. or may
be even traded to Philadelphia, up
he comes with one of those last
minute lifeSaverS. In his first pitch
ing effort of 1910. Dean set down
the st. Louis Browns for five in
ningS on only two hitS-one of the
best stretches by any major League
pitcher in training this spring.
For days the papers have been
full Of deliver or else" ultimatum
supposedly issued to Dean and per-
tanning to this particular effort
against the Browns.
There was no official confirma-
ton of any such ultimatum, but
Dean must have believed it. He went
after the Brownies. much as he did
against the Yankees in the 1898
World series. He walked four. but
struck out three and permitted only
one man to reach third base. When
1t was all over he proclaimed his
arm never felt better.
The Cubs eventually won. Is to
,. but that was anticllmaX.

Like a Rabbit

Our grandpappes still like to Splr
yarns about the days OF old when
trackmen were as fast as express
trains and conditioned for events by
chasing down rabbits in the early
morning,
All Of which brings out the gen.
eral observation that the youngsters
OF today must be chasing an animal
considerably faster than rabbits be-
cause records are falling and are
due to fall in every track meet this
season.
Two valley high school athletes
dash record. the Class c 100 yard
dash record has been beaten anG
the Class B 660 mark has already
fallen
Actually. however, the reason rec
ordS are falling right and left and
the reason the versatility Of the
athletes of the past has been for
gotten is that todayS traCkmen con-
diuon themselves WITH a faaltneSS
routine and are ready to put forth
their climax performance IL each
meet.
In days gone by, many OF the
valley high schools track men did
mt train a day for the track and
field events. They turned up for
the meets. ran their race and went
back to the farm 10 complete the
days work.
Thus has physical education work
in the schools progressed. Today the
athlete conditions himself for a
grueling race and therefore does
not subject himself to the torture
and health injury that the track
men Of 20 years ago GIG.
Judge Lee Nuffer. who was a
star runner in his high school days
in FL Centro. tells Of a quarter-mlle
race in which he defeated Earl Tag
CART Of Holtyille high. who Is pres
emily an advertising manager for
the PoSt-PreSS.
Nuffcr won the race by three r.
four yards and nearly collapsed
from exhaustion at the finish line.
Ee hadn't trained a day for the
event. Nuffer travelled the distance
in 54 seconds.

addition, the Indians have some
