Reds Seeking Talent,
But Will Not Trade
Stars 10 Get Il
Buy Koy From Cardinals
For ST., 900; Ready to
Change Half of Club
BY JOHN FRYE,
associated Press Sports Writer.

CINCINNATI, May Is. - Just
what's the matter with the World
Champion Cincinnati Reds is up for
violent. debate from the city wharf
to aristocratie Indian Hill. The
management admits it doesn't know
for sure, but is going to do some
thing about it. Quick.
The first overt step gives Mr..
Branch Hickey a s35 900 check, more
or less, to play left field for the St.
Louis Cardinals and gives the Reds,
in second division of the National
League for the first time since 1888,
Ernie Koy.
The next overt step is not deter
mined, at least for publication, but
General Manager Warren c. Giles
says:
We're going to get going if We
have to change half the club. But
we're not going to make changes
while we're panicky."
I. e.: The Reds aren't going to
give opposition clubs a chance to
pick up good ball players cheap just
because the boys aren't doing so we'll
at the moment.
Ernie, slugging, 28-year-old speed
ster who went to the Cardinals in
the business that gave Brooklyn Joe
MedWick, became Red property in a
straight cash deal.

Upon the muscular left arm of
loose -limbed Ken Chase the Mats
were relying today for their long
est winning streak of the year, but,
more important. the club was eye
ing the semi-bald southpaw for
some indic;..ion of what sort OF
season the team may anticipate.
Chase, by suddenly acquiring the
fine form he usually displays in
mid-July, could make the Nationals
pitching staff one of the most con-
sistently dangerous in the league.
Steve Sundra, Dutch Leonard and
Sid Hudson have demonstrated they
are clicking, and only polished per-
formances by Chase are required
to install the Mats as first division
timber.
The comparatively lofty level of
fifth place was Washington's as the
st. Louis Browns invaded for a
three-game series today. Only a
game and a half removed from the
fourth slot, the Mats are confident
they can wedge their way among
the elite if Chase doesn't delay
them.
Masterson Disappointing.
Last season Ken got going on
July and pitched brilliantly from
there out. Now, though, the Mats are
hoping he'll reach his peak earlier
than ever. If he does the Ma
tionals can create trouble and have
some fun for the first time in sew
eral seasons.
Ken was to make his sixth start
today in quest of his second victory
in attempting to prolong Washing
tons winning string to four games.
Leonard and Hudson will pitch to-
morrow and Saturday, respectively,
and each will be seeking his fourth
consecutive triumph.
Disappointing to Manager Bucky
Harris has been the failure of young
Walter Masterson, but in demoting
him to relief roles Harris at least
strengthened his reserve corps. The
release of Pitcher Danny MacFay-
den has weakened the Mats only
numerically, and Masterson as the
No. / relief chucker may be able
to aid the club.

return to the lineup has been Left

Mel Hot HurIer
In Spring First
Time in Career
Checks Yankees With
Six-Hitter; Dodgers :
Drop Reds to Sixth
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Mel Harder, who at the mellow
age of 81 is veteran of a dozen I
years service with the Cleveland Z
Indians in the American League, is
the miracle pitcher of the season
thus far.
The slender Nebraskan, always
considered a "hot weather" per-
former, already has won four games
without a defeat and the only ques-
ton now is whether he can main
tain anything resembling this win
ming pace through the remainder
of the campaign.
For many years Harder was one Of
the best hurlers in his league. but
even in his best seasons he never
could get going in the spring.
In 1895, when he won % games,
he didn't collect his first victory
until May 30. In 1888, his best re-
cent season, he scored II triumphs
and didn't get the first one until
June. Last year, when he won II
games, he didn't even make his first
start until May %.
Consequently, his six-hit, Al VIC
tory over the New York Yankees
yesterday caused his Cleveland CO.
hortS, as well as the rest of the
American League, to wonder what
level he might reach this summer.
Always Poison" to Yankees.
He always has been bitter medi-
cine for the Yankees and in his
latest start he had everybody baf1ed
except Joe Gordon, whose three
singles accounted for half New
York's hits.
He also had the help of three
home runs-Gene Desautels, Clar-
ence (Soup) Campbell and Gee
Walker. Each got his first homer
OF the season to sink Red Rufhng,
although he. too, pitched six-hit
ball. Campbell's blow in the eighth
followed single by Lou Boudreau
and broke a IL tie.
1t was the fourth straight defeat
for the Yanks and the second day
in row they were dropped by
homers. Boudreaus blast in the
10th beat them Tuesday.
The Boston Red Sox regained sec
ond place in the circuit by topping
! the Chicago White Sox, 1877, with
a seven-run rally in the seventh in
ming, climaxed by a. grand slam
homer by Manager Joe Cronin.
Boston was trailing, 6-3, prior to the
big blowoff.
The st. Louis Browns stopped the
Philadelphia Athletics, 1915, behind
the steady nine-hit hurting of Bob
/ Harris.
Seven in Row for Dodgers.
In the National League the Brook
lyn Dodgers walloped the Cincinnati
Reds, 60. and dropped the world
champions to sixth place behind the
idle Boston Braves. 1t was the sew
enth victory in a row for the
Dodgers, who earlier took nine
straight, and was the seventh in
succession for Whitlow Wyatt, who
shut out the Reds until the eighth.
BY this time the Dodgers already
had the game in the bag. Joe Med
wick hit a two-run homer in the
first, Wyatt doubled two runs across
in the second and two singles ac-
counted for another tally in the
third to force the veteran Paul Der
ringer to the showers. 1t was the
Dukes fourth defeat in six decisions.

Release by Mats Ends
15-Year Major Term
For MacFayden
Only Minor Berth Seen
Open to Slab Veteran
Who FuiIed Here

The Mats had won their third
straight game, and in the clubhouse
there was the usual rumpus. Par
TALLY shielded by a pillar the for
lorn figure of Pitcher Danny Mac
Fayden was acquiring clothing
slowly and mechanically. The
sharp-faced, retiring right-hander
had been informed Washington no
longer required his services.
It's a blow no club likes to de-
hver-telling a player he's been re-
leased or is being shipped back to
the minors. Because he is tactful
about such things Secretary Ed
ward 3. Eynon, jr., is dealt the duty
of doing it.
Telling Danny the mournful news
was no pleasure, for MacFayden
probably was being told he was
through after Is years in the major
leagues. It's doubtful if he can
hook on with any major league
club, and his only hope appears in
earning an existence in some minor
league.
Danny, though, has the consola-
ton of joining squad of once
valuable baseball flesh, for recently
such famous names as Paul Waner
Dick Bartell, Van Mungo, Wes Fer
rel, Tex Carleton, Earl Averill and
Dizzy Dean have been taken of
major rosters.
Signed as a free agent by the
Mats last December after being re-
leased by Pittsburgh, MacFayden
was no aid to the Mats as a relief
pitcher. In seven innings he was
slammed for IL hits, issued five
walks and was charged with one
defeat.

Gone are the days when he

supremely happy Dean who be-

Protest Japanese Attempt Market
 Salmon In U. s.

SEATTLE, Jan. 13 - A joint Committee for Protection of the Pacific Coast Fisheries has an- nounced strong protest has been made directly to Secretary of State Cordell Hull against the alleged Japanese attempt to mar ket $9,000,000 worth of canned salmon in the United States.
 The Joint Committee told Sec retary of State Hull that a Jap an2Se concern made inquiries about the possibilities of selling a huge consignment of canned sal mon to this nation and openly ap preached Pacific Coast salmon op orators, seeking their approval of the plan, agreeing to maintain prevailing prices and contribute toward the domestic advertising program.
 The letter of the Joint Commit tee declares the salmon industry rejected the Japanese offer as contrary to the Nations economic and military welfare.
 The Committee suggested the Japanese offer was prompted by the loss of the British market through the Japanese nations ad herence to the Axis Powers.

The Washington Merry-Co-Round
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON In talks with his close advisers recently, the President has revealed a much more confident opinion of the out come of the war in Europe.
 This confidence rests partly up on the belief that Hitler, and Nazi officials generally, are great ly worried over the possible en- try of the United States into the war, and are acquiring a genuine respect for what the United Stat eS is accomplishing in the way of national dsfense.
 Hitler, Roosevelt has told his friends, had the greatest scorn for Britain under Chamberlain, and for France. For some time also, Hitler had the same idea about the United States. The President confides that as far as he has been able to ascertain, Hit Ter regarded him as just another Chamberlain.
 But now intelligence reports from Germany indicate that Hit ler's opinion of the United Stat es has changcd to one of respect and even fear. Roosevelt plans to fake the most of this psycholog!c al factor, and believes that send ing every possible aid to Brit ain, short of war, will help to do it. He believes this can be don. without getting into war though he acknowledges privately that it carries risks.
 Most risky American project would be convoy merchant ships across the Atlantic, and so far Roosevelt has refused to commit himself though this is what thu British need most desperately. However, some of his advisers continue to be strongly for it, and believe they have made dent on the President.
 What they argue is this: The United States cannot be attacked as long as the war continues to rage in Europe and the British fleet remains afoat. Therefore, since we cannot be attacked, we can get into the war to any de- gree we like without sending an expeditionary force.
 Should Germany declare war on the United States, these RooSe cit advisers urge, we can merely continue with our present sup port to Britain. Business would proceed as usual, since the NaZis would be powerless to cross the Atlantic to attack the United States at least until Great Britain falls. Up until that time they figure that declaring war on the United States would be about the last thing the Nazis could do.
