When the Mexican government
recalled its Ambassador to Wash
ington, DR.. Francisco Castillo Ma
jera. to become Minister of Foreign
Affairs, it took from the National
Capital the foremost bridge player
among the diplomatic corps. Con-
tract was DR.. Najera's principal rec
reation, and he accepted all chal-
lenges. One of the famous series
which he played was with former
Gov. ALT M. Landon of Kansas
aboard ship en- route to South
America. The 1886 Republican pres
idential candidate had heard of the
Ambassadors reputation as bridge
player and, enjoying a similar dis
tinction himself within his own ter
ritory, challenged him. 1t was more
or less of an endurance contest
throughout the trip, and the Am
bassador won.

Trojans' Track
Team Faces
Defeat at Tech
BY GENE FRIEDMAN

LOS ANGELES, April 13. CUP)-
Coach Dean Bartlett Cromwell and
his University of Southern Cali
fornia Trojans face the uninviting
prospect Of losing their dual track
meet Saturday TO Coach Floyd
Hanes and his California Institute
of Technology Engineers.
The venerable and caustic dean
was exhibiting no noticeable smiles
even though the loss, if realized,
would ne only the second dual meet
loss in the 10 years FOR the Trojans
If anything, it was likely to cause
Cromwell to scowl even more fierce
ly-he doesn't like TO lose.
This year it seems the Trojans
have only mediocre war time track
team. The Engineers seem to have
one that's little better than med
iocre. They have an other advan-
tage in that their navy trainees can
spend more than the year and one
half. at the University that South
ern California's trainees are limited
to.
The Engineers will be favored if
their injured stars show up-other-
wise ChomWell may end up with a
smile.

NEW YORK. April 13. (UP)-Al?
though no definite decision has been
reached, the Major Leagues may use
the off days usually set aside foI
the All-Star game to raise money
for various war charities this year
with a series of intra-city contests
the United Press learned Friday.
The All-Star contest was cancell-
ed this year as the major item in
baseball's voluntary program TO cur
tail travel 25 per cent because OF
the critical transportation short
age.
So on July 9. 10 and II all but two
of the 16 Major League clubs will
have nothing to do. The two that
are busy, the New York Giants and
Yankees, will meet in a Red Cross
benefit game in New York. The
Giants-Brooklyn and the Yankees
Brooklyn already have played bene-
fit games for that organization.
Last year each of the Is clubs
designated one of their home games
for the National War Fund, with all
receipts going to that agency, which
in turn distributed it to various re-
lief organizations.
Whether the same program will be
followed this year, with the ad-
ditional July off-day games, may be
decided at Cleveland April "a if the
club owners don't take too long to
get together on a new baseball COM
missioner. the matter at least will
come up for discussion, if not a
