Bob Gives Up Crouch

NEW YORK, May 14.-Bob Mont

Champs First Slugging Rival.
In fact, this shapes up as the first
bout in which Jenkins has faced a
guy who can toss bombs with him
since he won the 135-pound crown
more than a year ago from gallant
little Lou Ambers. Fritzie Zivlc
couldn't do it. Neither could Pete
Lello or Ambers in their return get
together. And Armstrong just wore
Lew down, rather than try to break
him apart with one shot.
Montgomery, who's anxious to get
a crack at Jenkins with the title
on the line, might have whipped the
Texas thumper last September in
their first party. But after drop
ping Lew he went into crouch and
blew a close 10-round decision be-
cause he couldn't punch cleanly
from that awkward stance.

SO impressive has Montgomery
looked in training at Stillman's Gym
that the betting boys have installed
him 10-to-13 favorite.

Ray Is Rockville Star
In Bethesdu's Defeat

Little Tommy Ray, who was some
thing of a sensation on Richard
Montgomery Highs basket ball team
at Rockville, is making another rep
utation as baseball pitcher. A
southpaw hurler, he permitted only
three hits yesterday as the Orange
Tide downed Bethesda Chevy Chase,
4-3, at Garrett Park.
Rockville now has four wins this
season, two of them over the Barons.

Winner of the title year ago,
Smith started slowly this season, but
moved into high gear last week with

the return of Jack Hoffman, another

When Nature has her resurrection
in this season Of the year, it is easy
to understand why poets write of the
joys Of the open road and the beau
ties Of the natural world. Readers
of the Public Library are interested
in its large collection of poetry, and
among the daily requests are those
for poetry of this type, both in COL
lections and by individual authors.
From the time when Chaucer sang
OF his Canterbury Pilgrims, English
poets have shown their deep and
abiding love of Nature; and during
the 18th century wrote continually
on this theme and of mans rela-
ton to Nature and the spiritual
sustenance it afforded him. They
felt a oneness with Nature. and in
the spring season more than in any
other expressed their love for it.
Some of our literature's most beau
tiful lyrics are to be found in anthol-
ogies on this subject. There are
many collections of poetry of the
seasons, of birds. of trees, of the
forests and fields. which include
fugitive verse of the minor poets

The Wild Seventies

BIZ Dennis Tilden Lynch. NeW
York: D. Appleton-Century
Co.
The story of the dreadful decade
of the '7Os has been told before,
but perhaps 1t is as we'll TO keep
the memory warningly before the
American people If it is true that
the price of liberty is eternal vigil
ance, and also that no people has
ever had better government than
it deserved, then such books as
this, coming from time to time. may
serve as political lighthouses to
keep the country out of strange and
dangerous waters. Mr.. Lynch writes
the whole story of one outstanding
political confusion and does it with
an almost religious fervor.
He begins with the Tweed Ring
history of New York and gives us
again the oft-told tale of the cheer
full shamelessness of Gould. Fisk,
Hall, Connolly. Sweeney and the
Boss, and describes the reform ef-
forts of Tilden, Greeley and the
Cooper Union. Then he moves on
to the election of 1872, with its high
peak in spoils and its split in the
Republican party under the leader
ship of Carl Schurz. Back he comes
then to New York and tells of the
final punishment of the Tanmany
judges, Barnard, Cardozo, McCunn
and Ingranam. Then he takes up
the scandals of Grants administra-
ton and that President Grants un-
precedented effort to have himself
elected for a third term, giving
space to campaign tactics and the
eventual stealing of the presidency
for HayeS-for that is the way Mr..
Lynch interprets the Hayes-Tilden
dispute AS a sort of interlude. the
book describes Slum and prison con-
ditionS in New York City. the horrors
of the Five Points district and the
despair and vice among the city's
poor and recountS the forgotten
efforts of Horace Greeley to bring
about Slum clearance. Then come
the Indian Ring scandals. a review
of the carpet-baggers regime in the
South, and finally the rise of Com
munism and the bloody era of strikes
which filled the latter years of the
decade. False reformers, dema-
gogues, Communists, rabble rousers
and plundering capitalists all ran
riot in the period. says Mr.. Lynch,
and he humps them all together
under the one name-"Enemies of
the Republic"
So brief cataloguing of topics
can, of course, give no idea of the
fervor and indignation of the book;
nor can it allow description of the
excellent background material which
the author has used. Suffice it to
say that the thing is done with the
utmost seriousness and that it is
a thorough account of its period.
Reproductions of cartoons - the
day-particularly from the famous
pen of Thomas Nast-are used to
illustrate the volume.

had, she says, exceptional liberty
of expression, but this was not
through any official respect for
freedom of the press. 1t was, in
stead. part of the Propaganda Min
istry's plan by which certain papers
were allowed to publish objective
criticism" in order to gain the conf
dence of foreigners as being "un-
controlled Such objective criti-
cism," however, was dictated strictly
by Herr Goebbels policy. 1t was
part of a deliberately staged exhibit
of freedom wholly designed to dis
arm foreign suspicious.
She also tells how the Propaganda
Ministry regularly used trials as its
materials and sent instructions to
newspapers as to how their reporters
were to treat various court proceed
ings. Some cases were to be written
up blandly. some severely, some
from the moral" standpoint; many
cases were to be completely ignored.
There was no flagrant staging, as
in the famous Russian trials. The
German method was to appear to
give each suit perfectly routine
treatment. But Herr Goebbel's
Office prescribed the treatment and
censored and approved the stories
before they saw. the light Of print.

Thomosheen James

By Maurice Walsh. NelG York
Frederick A. Stokes.
Mr.. Walsh imparts a savory Gaelic
flavor to his stories that is hard to
beat. In "Thomasheen James" he
has combined the most recent es-
capades of his man-of-no-w work to
form novel. BY leading Thoma-
sheen James ODoran up to matri-
mony-with results it would be un-
fair to divulge--the author has
fashioned a meager plot for series
of beguiling anecdotes that can and
have stood quite well alone. Some.
perhaps all, of the stories have ap-
peared separately in magazines.
However, If you read one and liked
it you will enjoy the rest. Adept
in the use of dialect, Mr.. Walsh
also is a polished writer, with more
than a trace of Irish wit. His is
the rural Ireland, with its trout
streams and woodcock cover: small
towns, lively pubs and rich: brogues.
Thomasheen James himself, beguil-
ing, shiftless rogue that he is, will
