We have always been impressed
with quotation from John Mase-
field, one of our favorite poets:
The days that make us happy
make us WISE. And in this case,
we might substitute well" for
wise. We know in reason that
as long as the children are happy
and enjoying themselves they are
going to get well quicker.

If it suits the Weatherman,
Michigan's Spring athletic sea-

the soldier nine.
The golfers, likewise stymied
by showers last weekend in an
opener booked with the Uni

match. The tennis squad invades
Western Michigan for its first
scheduled start.
Baseball Coach Ray Fisher
plans to use virtually the same
lineup against Fort Custer he
intended to start at Oberlin with
his only indecision in pitching
selections.
Most improved hurler in re-
cent workouts has been Marine
Dennis Manko, left -hander from
Pontiac, and Fisher may give
him a starting assignment. 9th
erwise, the ranking OF Wolver-
inc pitchers is pretty much a
toss-up with Dick Schmidtke,
Bliss Bowman, Elroy Hirsch
and AL Willars among the fore
most candidates.
The infield probably will
have Elmer Swanson at first,
Charley Ketterer at second,
Bruce Blanchard at shortstop
and Mike Farnyk at third.
Scheduled to patrol the outfield
are Bill Gregor in left, Don
Iund in center and Bob Wiese
in right. Bob Stevenson. max

Detroit Ball Club
Eyes Prospects for
Win Over Indions

CLEVELAND. April 81 Up
Beaten in their first three
games by the st. Louis Browns,
the Detroit Tigers called on lit
tie Frank Overmire, former
Western Michigan college south
paw, to pitch them to victory
today over the Cleveland In
dians in the opener of a four
game series.
The Tigers arrived in Man
ager Steve O'Neill's home city
for their first road trip after
dropping an 8 to 5 decision to
the Browns yesterday at Briggs
Stadium. The only consolation
O'Neill could get out of the
defeat was that Detroit gath
cred nine hits, equal to their
total production of the first two
games.
Scout paw Hal Newhous-
er, who lost II games last sea-
son. was chased in the third in
ming as the Browns opened an
1l-hit attack. Joe Orrell follow
ed and departed in the fourth,
and then came 40-year-old Elon
Chief Hogsett, who held the
Browns scoreless on three hits
in the last five and a third in
nings.s
Vernon (Junior) Stephens,
whose homer and fly beat De-
troit in the first two games Of
the series, smashed double
and single and drove in three
runs. The winning run was
scored in the fourth by Don
Gutteridge who drew pass,
stole two bases and came in on
Bob Swift's bad throw.
NINE HITS
The Tigers got their nine hits
off right-hander Sigmund ia
kucki, 3l-year-old rookie who
holds an army medical dis
charge. Rudy York hit a two
run single in the fourth to make
the score TO 2. but the Browns
presently got three more runs
and put the decision out of reach.
In the fourth Jimmy Outlaw
singled for the second of his
three hits, advanced two bases
on SWift's CDuble and scored on
Hogsett's infield out. Outlaw
took two bases on Stephens err
ror in the sixth and scored on a
single by Don Ross Pinky Hig-
! gins scored in the eighth on

The question whether Wodehouse

that Lord Haw-Haw is. Goebbels
certainly wanted to make him one,
that being the prime motive behind
the courtesies extended to the

was the Nazi delight to play host
to a cultured Englishman, besides
the fact that Wodehouse's books
encouraged the Nazi Reich partly
because they held up the scions of
the English upper class as nitwits.
I would suggest that Wodehouse,
II anything, is only passive Quis-

compromise provided he is left in
peace to enjoy his old ways and

By the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
LONDON, Jan. Is. - Roundabout
dispatches reaching London through
Stockholm tonight reported new
German troop concentrations along
the Bulgarian Turkish frontier.
The stories, purporting to come
from Sofia, contained no details, but
the reports fell into a pattern with
others which have come from Bull
garia recently.
Shortly after President Ismet
Inonu of Turkey returned from his
Cairo conferences with President
Roosevelt and Prime + Minister
Churchill, there were reports that
Bulgarian and German garrisons
along the Turkish border were be-
ing strengthened and dispatches to
Stockholm last week end said Bull
garia no longer felt confident Of
Turkeys continued neutrality and
called the situation in Sofia tense.
The Budapest radio today said the
citizens of Sofia, bombed twice this
week, were packing trains leaving
the city and that all other large
cities in Bulgaria had been ordered
evacuated Immediately.
The two big air raids were said to
have killed more than 600 persons
and wrecked about 10 per cent of
Sofia, including the ministries of in
terror and finance, the National
Theater and the town hall.
Bodies still were lying in the
wreckage, the broadcast said.
