IN CHAIN STORES
The greatest opportunity lies with
the chain stores, especially the va
riety chains. Next in Importance
come the supermarkets; and third,
the department stores. House-to-
house selling will always be profit
able for those with quits"
Consumer credit will come back;
cooperatiyes will continue TO in
crease in Importance; but the chain
stores have nothing to fear from
cooperatives for many years to come.
There will be changes in serVicing
as well as in products and packag-
ing. This especially applies to the
perishable goods such as meats, fish,
fruits and vegetables due to the
increased installations of deep
freezes.

Bv WILLARD ID. EBERHART

SEATTLE, April Is. CUP)-The
University of Washington HusKleS,
continuing to scorn the new collegi-
ate non-football fad, are going dog
gedly forward with Coach Pest
Welch summoning his stalwarts to-
gether Monday for spring rehearsals.
The session will last for three
weeks and a similar period OF work
outs will get underway in July.
Apart from the preseason prac-
tice schedule, university officials
know little about the playing season
next fall, but it is likely that the
Husky schedule will be little more
extensive than the four-game
agenda of 1913.
The only bright spot is the posi-
bility of a game with some Califor-
MIA school or major service team
during the Today vacation between
terms in late October. 1t will be
the HuskieS' only chance TO travel,
since the squad will be heavily popu-
lated with restricted navy and ma
rine trainees.
Other than that, the schedule
probably will be confined to games
with Whitman university Of Walla
Walla, Wash, Willamette uniyer-
sity of Salem, Ore, and perhaps the
Spokane air force.
Athletic Manager Al Ulbrickson,
Washingtons erstWhile world
famous crew coach, said none of
these games, however, will be sign
ed until after the Pacific coast con-
ference meeting July u. The meet
ing, incidentally, will be held at
Wood River, Ore.

PARADE
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April Is. (UP)-We
have faith in Joe Mccarthy, and so
we are going to run counter to our
colleagues and pick the New York
Yankees to win the American league
pennant.
In the National league, the band
wagon is good enough for us, so
well Jump on with the consensus
crowd and take the ST. Louis Card
inalS.
The reasons for picking the Card
inals, who have all but four of the
squad that won the pennant last
season, are obvious, but it takes a
little explaining to justify the Sc
lecion of the world champions,
whose ranks were riddled by service
calls during the off-season.
There was time when the base
ball wise-guys used to crack that
any one could iWn pennants with
the talent that the broadbeamed
Mccarthy had at his command. But
that was before Joe DiMaggio,
Charley Ruffing, Phil Rizzuto, Char
ley Keller and their kind were an
swering the call of play ball instead
of the call of the bugle.
DRAFT INROADS HEAVY
However, draft lnroads were heavy
even last spring, but Mccarthy
with the wizardry that has made
him the most successful pilot in
modern history, came UP with a
winner that too kline world title
from the Cards in five games.
A week ago, the outlook was dark,
but with the recent selective serv-
ice notifications making players
over 26 available. Pitchers (Spud)
Chandler and Ernie Bonham, who
won games together last year
may be available the entire season.
Likewise, Johnny Lindell, slugging
outfielder and possibly Joe Gordon,
top second sacker in the majors,
might be on hand for at least part
of the year, though both have passed
physicals. Best news of all was
yesterdays word that Catcher Rol-
lie Hemsley, veteran handler OF
pitchers, would leave his farm and
be ready to start the season. With
Bill Dickey gone, the team had been
without a first flight backstop.
safe as war bonds.
The Cards look almost as safe
as war bond purchase, even though
they may lose Catcher Walker
Cooper, Shortstop Martin Marion
and Outfielder Stan Musial, but
even with such stars gone, their
requirements from farm clubs
should be adequate.
Picking beyond first place is as
hazardous as tight rope walking
along the rim of Niagara Falls, but
the Washington Senators and Gin
cinnati Reds loom brightly in our
crystal ball for second place berths.
