But all of US remember how necessary it
was for the message to go through. Garcia
would have made some costly mistake if he
hadn't got the message-stralght and on
time. What made history was the faithful
ness of the messenger.
Imagine for the moment that you are
General Garcia. You're somewhere apart
from what is going on. You need a message.
Not just any message, the right message.
Then the newsboy brings it. Or you pick it
up on the street corner.
This message-Me news Of the day-may
warn you of a threat to pass a law you op-
pose and want to protest. It may inform
you of the valiant service a good public
official has performed.
It may tell you Of an approaching storm
and give you a chance to prepare for it. Or

MICKEY HARRIS MAY RANK HIGH WITH RED SOX
Young Southpaw Faces Second Chance Under
 Joe CrOnin
By PAUL sCHEFrELs

United Press Stan CoEresponAent)
 New York, April A. (UP) -The shortage of pitchers on the oHston Red Box has made manager Joe Cronin the butt of many major lea- que wttticisfn, but Mickey Harris, 23-year-old left-handed pitcher may help quiet the heckiers this year.
 Harris has had only four years of experience in professional base. ball and is up for his second trial with the Red sox but he has al- ready been labelled as one of Cronin's more promising recruits.
 His record of i7 games won and only four lost In i93o for Scranton of the Eastern League earned him his first trial with the Red sox in the spring of io40. He controlled his fast ball and e sharp curve 30 well that he won 6 starting berth by the time the championship sea- son began.
 He faced . 20-game winner in Due Leonard of the washington Senators on his first trip to c major league pitching box but came in triumphant while Leonard failed to last. He held the Senators to seven hits, famed eight and walked only two.
 Collapsed in Mid-Season
 The youthful recruit he was born in Unionport, N. r., on Jan. 30, 19i8--won three victories by June 8 but on June 20 he collided with the St. Louis Browns who routed him in the second game of Q doubleheader. His downfall dated from there.
 He was unable to finish . game after that and went back to 9cran- ton to correct whatever fault 1t was that prevented him from be- coming Q winner. That he reme- died his defect is proved by the records which show him as 6 10- game winner while losing only five for an impressive 226 earned run average.
 Recalled to the Red sox late in 70 he became i'll and finished the season in @ hospital.
 Now back in camp, Harris, who measures feet il inches, is down to his best playing weight, about 190 pounds and is in perfect trim Career Like Hoyts
 If his career continues to paral- Tel that of Waite Hoyt, he should bo @ success in short order. Both broke in on the Brooklyn sandlots. Harris pitched in the Queens Alliance League for tho Bellair Civics. That's where Jack Egan, Hed eox scout, signed him to c contract.
 Both Hoyt and Harris tried out at the Polo Grounds. Harris left his Job an the summer of 1887 to attend 6 school for young base ball hopefuls operated by the Giants and superintended by coach Tom Clarke.
 Harris reported every day and pitched in batting practice for two months and when nobody paid any attention to him he quit and went back to pitching for the Bellair outfit.
 Signed by Egan, he was farmed out to Little Rock, Ark, in 1888 and then moved to Clarksdale of the Cotton States League. He won i3 and lost ii there and reached Scranton in 1889. His performance there brought him up to the majors for the first time.
 If the Hoyt parallel continues Waite, too, turned up with the Red Sox and went on to pitching heights from there--Harrish should ''get hot" from here.

 There is 8 little bit of Ty Cobb in Reese. He stole 35 baeses for Louisville in 1889. .15for the Flat bushers in 84 engagements last trip.

CoacIlesVexed By Diamond Jobs Ahead
BY HU0O HoPBAD

High school baseball being what ae is, and local factory conditions being what they are and graduation just ahead, Waterbury's three high school coaches are of one mind that Something more than Q mild miracle will have to occur for them to field what may even remotely resemble baseball aggregations already sched- nled to play a total of 37 games.
 Pitchers and catchers are about e numerous as four-leaf clovers, 1t would seem, from 8 short talk with Bill Tracy of Leavenworth, Jimmy Lee of Wuby and Jack Manherz of Crosby, who hold the diamond des- tinies of the three schools in the palms 10 their hands.
 Goldson Gone
 Crogby's ebony-hued mound star, s. 0. Csoldson has quit school entire 1y, and Frank Shugrue, football cap- ] tain and pitcher has not shown up yet for mound duty. In the mean &ime, Manherz has but four boys left from last seasons squad, with Art ae Fisher, a second baSeman deter mined to try his hand as @ pitcher. Bender will do most of the catching and Goodale Is @ left field place. ment with Gocrun, a freshman ir- fielder last season anxious to make the third base job.
 Crosby meets all the Naugatuck Valley legaue foes and has two games with Leavenworth and one with Cheshire Academy, listed on the following schedule: V.

 Catcher Wanted
 At Wilby, the immediate problem of Coach Jim Lee is to find some- one to give aid to Petey Garrity, who will do most of the cacthing. while he is not too richly endowed with pitchers, as Norman Duncan Is the only dependable at this writ ing, with Eddie Salvatore, Jackie Sizer, Bill Goggins and Walter Bur- lenski set for infield duty and Re- gan, Calo and Alverez to patrol the outer garden. In May, Wilby plays seven home games in succession, with the following schedule of l4 games arranged:

Young Reiser To Be Cleanup Hitter If Medwick Hits Into Double Plays
Tail-End Of Its Batting Order Is Brooklyn'S
 Only Problem
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Atlanta, April <-Daily 1t becomes more evident tnat 21.year-old Har- old Patrick Keiser is key man of the Brooklyns. in center field and at the plate.
 Leo Durocher now has in mind placing the St. Louis kid in the clean-up slot.
 Pete Reiser is batting third at the moment. behind Harold Reese and the surprising Paul Waner.
 Joe Merwick is the current high explosive, but Durocher will make the switch if Muscles starts hit- ting into too many double plays.
 Medwick was never swift, and = a step slower than he was in his fabulous campaigns with the Car dinals.
 The Carteret Clouter Is belting the ball as he did for the Red Birds, however, and everybody agrees he will be a tremendous factor in the Brooklyn drive.
 Although a good share of Reiser's brief experience has been in the infeld, he moved into Dixie Wall ker's middle field as though he owned 1t.
 Manager Druocher doesn't believe the added responsibility of being clean-up hitter would affect his play.
 "Medwick doesn't hit into too many double plays, but know Reise is going to hit into fewer" says Durocher. If Reiser hit behind Merwick there would be less double play danger in that part of the bat ting order. With Reiser on first base and Medwick at bat the possibility of having the othe clubs infield make double play is greater than 1t would be if Joe was on first and Pete at bat. Pete gets to first faster than Joe"
 REESE AND REISER
 GET AROUND BASES
 Medwick himself asserts that Reiser races to first base quicker than anybody else he has ever seen. Though sizeable. standing s feet il and weighing 1e5 pounds, the St.

Paul W. Morency, General Man. aRer of WTTC, Hartford, announced yesterday the appointment of Paul Lucas as the stations production manager.
