 New York, l3. (UP)-scattered paragraphs containing scattered thoughts:
 It can't go on forever, of course, but the Detroit Tigers haven't won a ball game since Hank Greenberg left them almost Q week ago to join the army. Just to show you how much the big guys bat Is missed The Tigers have scored only seven runs In four games. Looks like Jockey Eddie Arcaro won't be in the saddle when Whirl. away tries to make 1t three in @ row in the Belmont Stakes June 2. He is under contract to Mrs. Payne Whitney who may have Q couple or horses in there herself, in which case she will want Arcaro to be up on one of them. The switch In joc- keys ought to throw some light on whether Whirlaway has been cured of drifting on the turns. He was do- Ing 1t consistently until Arcaro took him over In the Kentucky Derby and the PreaknesS.
 The big parade from the major leagues to the minors Is on. All Major league teams must reduce their player rosters to 25 men by Thursday midnight. Among the first to go are three veterans-Dick Bar tell, released by the Detroit Tigers; Paul Waner, cut loose by the Brook lyn Dodgers and Van Mungo, also trimmed of the Dodgers. Every year about this time ball players get that strained, worried look unless they have their jobs cinched.
 Baer BallyhoOey
 You can look for some great stories 10 come out of Buddy Baer's training camp during the week pre- vious to his fight in Washington with Joe Louis. Harry Mendel, who used to thin's up lot of those gags for Tony Galento, has been retained to handle Buddy's ballyhoo. Harry opened rather slowly, doing nothing more than picking Baer to whip l Louis on May g, but wait until he swings Into his stride. Once his im- agination gets to clicking on all | eight cylinders there will be yarns l about now Baer once strangled | mountain lions with his bare hands. !
 Golf fans are looking forward to l the 0oodall round robin tournament | because 1t win feature a match that | might have been played in the na- tional open championship last year. Lawson Little, Gene Sarazen and Ed | Oliver will make up 8 threesome. | At the end of the open last year | they were tied for the championship, but Oliver was disqualified for start- | ing his final round too soon. Little | beat Sarazen next day in the play | off. It may be a different story this | time. Oliver despite being in the | army, is playing brilliant golf; Sara | zen likes Fresh Meadow where the | tournament will be played. He | should, for he won the 1882 open | championship there.

are almost invariably holidays in
the mines. the third being usually
called fishing day" this terrible
shutdown that is supposed to
threaten the whole industry is a
matter of three and one-half days.
Miners work at most $50 days a
year, and in that time produce all
the coal this country has ever
needed.
"TO NAVE the right TO strike
any and ercrg mine at any

Originally and AT the suggestion
Of the employers, all contracts con-
tanned clauses that encouraged the
workers TO close down mines that
failed 10 live up TO their contracts
with the union. and therefore
threatened unfair competition 10
operators who kept faith.
Coal mining is a highly COMPETE
tive industry, and the operators
were willing 10 sign with the union
only on condition that the union
police recalcitrants, so that the
coal of chiselers could not enter
the market at lower price.

"A make out, the real fight back
of this advertisement is between
the northern and the southern OPP
orators. out OF which Lewis has
drawn an advantage
Last Winter Lewis and the
northern and southern operators
agreed 10 a wage increase, but not
10 bring up the matter of differen-
tial wages in northern and south
ern mines.
Lewis asked for a one dollar in
crease as a basis for bargaining
with the northern operators, and
O'Neill Of the northern operators
agreed 10 pay II If Lewis would
get rid of the differential.
The real charge of the southern
operators is that the northern OPP
orators double-crossed them.
THEY, OF course, don't like drop.
l. ping the differential and MAX
ing wages uniform for the same
work throughout the country.
And the police power clause
just the same kind of clause that
the stronger southern operators
were more than willing TO have as
weapon against the weaker ones
can now be invoked by Lewis
against all the southern operators
if they try 10 get out of the differ
entail agreement.

Newspapers are carrying an
advertisement signed by the South
ern Coal Operators Wage Confer
cnCe. This advertisement set forth
the reasons why the Southern
coal operators refuse 10 agree u
John /. Lewis outrageous mine
workers contract.
II SAYS that by the very words
Of this contract John l.. Lewis
Will become the dictator Of this
, country.
II saws that "the so-called DIFF
ferential clause is not, as HE pub
lac has been mistakenly led 10 be-
lieve. the sole reason or the chief
reason why the Southern opera
tors have refused to sign this
contract.
THE real reasons are they say:
That John L. Lewis do

TENS Of mining;
That all the mines he shut
off ri one time, for yearly

TO have the right 80
strike any and every mine al
any time at his own will or
pleasure.
These are the reasons given in
the advertisement for refusing 10
sign this contract. a refusal that
Lewis says will mean a strike.
The Southern coal operators
want 10 save America from dc
tatorship. And readers of the adj
VertiSement are told that they
should write and telegraph their

voices can keep this country a

those we have seen. This one isn't
hand doomed by Indians in can
yons In New Mexico. but by natives
OF New York IN its canyons. IT
uses a bit of angora which gives 1t
a fuZz and a soft sheen. The tie
knots far better than the thick
Indian product and is much softer
and lush in coloring.
Foulard remains the leading
fabric for spring. with the neat
small traditional English designs
favored. Tones are more on tan
lines and away from dark back
grounds. Dusty foulards. an ole
favorite. are coming In regularly
from England. In all qualities. The
more you pay. the heavier Is the

Traphagan told her audience that
American history offered a rich
field for the American designer and
showed costumes ranging all the

was inspired by X-ray views OF

cause of a nervous breakdown. and
Isaac Kamm. an 82-year-old far
mer, living near OSSining. New

him to give up his fishing and very
occasional smoking Of q turkey to
