ST. LOUIS. April 1S-While in
no mood for cheering, Steve
O'Neill sa VINO reason for alarm
in the defeat of the Tigers at
the hands of the Browns in the
opening game of the season here
yesterday.
The Browns won, 7 to 1. Brav-
ing cold weather, a crowd of 4.l67
customers were at the scene OF
the murder.
There are 1853 games left to
play" the ailing Tiger manager
proclaimed philosophically.
Still hob b Ii ing around on
crutches, O'Neill directed the play
of his Tigers from a corner in
the Detroit dugout. He is suf-
fering from arthritis.
"Jakueki pitched fine ball for
the Browns" O'Neill explained.
"He had fine control and was
never behind the batters."
Big Sigmund tJack) Jakueki
pitched six-hit ball for the league
champions. He did not walk a
man and as O'Neill recalled, had
the edge on most Of the Tiger bat

Judging by the record. Costan-

his first big purses he purchased

his father as the boss.
He's been as happy as lark

Browns to victory over the Yam
KEGS and into the league cham

1914 season.
1t also was the second opening
series in which he beat Harold
Newhouser. who started for the
Tigers yesterday. Jakucki beat
Harold last spring in the third
game of the opening series at
Briggs Stadium.
Whereas last spring. Newhouser
did not get farther than the third
inning. he lasted six heats here
yesterday, retiring in favor OF Les
Mueller. who lasted but one inning.
Finishing on the hill for the Ii
gers, Walter Wilson also hurled
one frame.
In the six innings, Newhouser
yielded eight hits and five Of st.
Louis seven runs. For five IN
ningsr. the tall, slim Tiger left
handler pitched well, only 10 stum-
BILE into trouble in the sixth when
the enemy punched five hits.
SOME CHEAP ONES
IT should be reported some of
the hits off Harold in this inning
were sordid achievements, bioop-
ers that came off the end of bats
and infield scratches.
On-the ether hand, the Tigers
al bat were feeble kittens, who
bagged only six hits. Three OF
these we're the handiwork of
Eddie Mayo. Aside from Paul
Richards. other Tigers showed
little with the stick 10 warrant

Richards got a home run, driven
more than $50 feet into the left
field bleachers.
Doc Cramer turned in the field

one-handed diving catch off Pete

This broad shouldered, 19-year-
old center hits the defense like an
Ail-America fullback. shakes off
body checks like Tom Harmon
used to toss off tackles. Too often
he winds up in front of the net,
slashing in the puck.
Kennedy tore through the Red
Wings for his teams three goals
in the last game. He tied the
score, put the Leafs ahead twice.
Toronto hockey critics who have
lambasted their team say he was
the one player who didn't quit
when the revived Red Wings went
roaring to victory in the final
period.
DOESN'T STOP
Body checks will drop, but not
stop, Kennedy. While the Wings
slowed up Gus Bodnar, Mel Hill,
Lorne Carr and other more fragile
players, Kennedy took some solid
checks from Harold Jackson and
Earl Seibert. But he still kept
driving through.
Kennedy's stamina helped carry
the Leafs through the opening
series with Montreal. He was still
fresh and driving when, with only
% seconds to 60, he golfed home
the shot which beat Montreal, 10,
in the opening game.
That started the world hockey
champions to defeat and before
the series was over husky Ted
scored two more crucial goals.
1t was Kennedy's goal which
broke up the second game of the
Wing series as he rushed down
center to pick up Babe Pratt's
pass out and jam it past Harry
Lumley for the first Leaf score in
the 20 shutout.

A very good friend of mine says
L "a he has spent most of his time
trying to figure out how to prolong
his life, but if he doesn't get the
answer in another five years he's
going to quit worrying about it. He
was 80 this spring.
A COW, now, is much more inclined
to worry about whether you are
figuring out how to prolong the
number of days each year she can
spend in a good, rich pasture. This
is a fine time to take steps to give
more pasture days to your herd.
Seeding of crops which will provide
fall, winter and spring grazing should
be done in August or early September.
In Southern states, crimson
clover is tops on the list of such
things recommended by the ex-
tension services. Tennessee says
there is more feed value in pas
ture from an acre of crimson
clover than there is to be found
in an acre of corn.
Rye, winter oats, barley and rye
grass are among other things recon-
mended for planting at this time Of
year. Here are some bulletins which
discuss this problem which you can get

Germany Balancing
On Edge Of Razor,
GoebbeIs Declares
BY the Associated Press.

a
LONDON, April 19-Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbeb told
the German people today the nation
was balancing on the razors edge"
and called on them to stand behind
Hitler and "by last About enort
make sure that the Reich does not
break apart
Although Goebbels was scheduled
to broadcast his address tonight on
the eve of Hitler's 56th birthday.
the text was distributed in advance
by the of1icial DNB news agency in
a special radio transcription to Ger
man newspapers and hence became
available here before 1t reached the
ears of its intended audience.
For the most part the speech
was devoted to resounding praise
of the Fuehrer. indicating he re-
mains at least the nominal chief
of the crumbling Nazi structure
despite rumors of Heinrich Hmm.
ler's ascendancy.
While acknowledging the serious
ness of the war situation, Goebbels
sought to bolster German hopes by
telling the nation that "the per-
verted coalition between plutocracy
and bolshevism is cracking and the
head of the enemy conspiracy has
been struck of by fate"
Throughout his address Goebbels
sought to arouse mystical faith in
Hitler as the German hope of sal
vation.
He predicted the world which now
"persecutes him CHitler) hatefully"
will have to revise its opinion and
repent" after he saves civilization.
