GOLF PLAYER GOING
 TO BRITAIN IN MAY

NEW YORK, April Is. n Frank Stranahan, handsome 23-year-old Toledo amateur, will lead a one man golf invasion of Britain next month, and those who have played with and against him on this side think he stands great chance of returning with the British amateur crown, as Jess Sweetser, Bobby Jones, Lawson Little and Charlie Yates did before him.
 The first American to try con- clusions with the British since the war interrupted play in '39, Stran- ahan plans to fly across about May l5 and to get in several days of practice over the Royal Lytham and St. Annes links at Southport before title play begins May g.

SandIoiter Is Coming

Detroit 1lger offirials believe they have another Hal Newhouser in Walter (Billf) Pierce, who's so young he has difficulty gaining en7 trance through the players gate whenever he goes to a park where he isn't known. l
 The 19-year-old youngster was picked up from the sandlots around Detroit after the 1914 season. He was a standout in the American Legion tcurnef that year. He was faImed out to Buffalo of the h. ternal League last year, but was called up by the Tigers in late sea- son.
 When he walked up to the play CTS gate at Briggs Stadium in De- troit he told the attendant: I'm Billy Pierce of the Tigers. I just came up from Buffalo"
 The attendant looked at the face that never had been nicked by a razcr and said Well, lad, I've had some fine dodges pulled on me. But this is the best. Why, you can't be over 16."
 Pierce had to wait until Catcher Paul Richards could be summoned and identify him before he could get into the park.
 The young sOuthDaW still isn't ready for the majors, and he's back at Buffalo this year for more sea- scning. But Tiger officials are con- fident that he has the stuff. and that he'll be up in the big time for good in another year or two.
 Last year, Billy won five and lost seven for the sixth-place Buff Halo team. That compares favorab- ly with Newhouser's first year in the minors.

CUBS BEAT REDS SAME
 OLD STYLE
BY JCE REICHLER


 Associated Press Sports Writer The Chicago Cubs, who last year equalled major league standard by trimming the Cincinnati Reds 2l times in p meetings, are off to a good start in an attempt to dupli- cate the performance this year against Bill McKechnie's weary Redlegs.
 Yesterdays 11-7 triumph coming on the wings of Phil Cavarretta s home run which highhghted a five-run splurge in the ninth in ming, was Chicago's second straight win over the Rhinelanders, both victories coming in the final frame.
 Cubs Come Up
 As in Tuesdays opener when they led the Cubs 80 going into the ninth only to lose 4-3, the Reds en- joyed a 7-6 advantage after eight stanzas yesterday But the Cubs came Up with the tig five in their last turn at the bat for their 23rd victory in their last 24 games with Cincinnati.
 Beating the Reds in the final frame is no new experience for the Cubs. Last year the Bruins trailed on six different occasions when they came up for their last icks at the plate, but each time they rallied to down their frenzied fall guys.
 Cincy's Johnny Wander, of no hit fame, making his postwar de- but, and Hank Wyse, the Cubs 22- game winner last year, opposed each ether at the start, but both were not around at the finish. En- il Rush received credit for the victory and Clyde Shoun, third of four Redleg hurlers, was the loser. The scores:

NEW YORK, April 18.-TEe Po- lice Athletic League of New York is planning to extend it's inter-city competition into the baseball and track season and to realize what that means you'll have to see some of the figures :. But First Deputy Commissioner James B. Nolan, who reads the outfit, wants you to un- derstand it isn't just an organiza- tion of bad boys although it's big job is keeping kids out of trouble. The PAL had 320 basketball teams last winter and wound up in an inter-city series involving New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Wash ingtcn, Baltimore, Union City, N. J., Ycnkers and Nassau County, N. Y. This spring Nolan hopes to have 1000 baseball teams in action and 10000 kids participating in track The figures are almost too big to believe, but tEe commission CTS big point is that Il police de- partments in big cities carry on the same sort of work and if the rest could see what a swell job they're doing for the kids, they'd take it, too.

This is a warm-hearted and ex-

OF dismal poverty. Entirely self

presidency against Grant, dying

and tragic man.

sion, !. eccentric movements, ter
rible fratricidal war and bitter re-
membrances-Mr. Stoddard recalls
1t to life so ably that his book moves
along at an exciting pace from be-
ginning to end.
But the main subject is Greeley,
and here he energes as giant who
was a truly great giant despite his
faults. Mr.. Stoddard draws a SYM
pathetic picture of the man, but
the shortcomings are properly noted
and weighed. The Tribune editor
was not always consistent. He was
sometimes more impulsive than
wise, given to listen more to his
heart than his head. But for all
that he lowered above most of his
contemporaries. No man-except
Lincoln-did as much to rally the
North against slavery and for
union His pen was a power of the
first magnitude in those days, and
even now the extraordinary vigor
and clarity OF his prose deserves
study and some emulation, though

dead.

In this mild little novel Christopher

The story covers the decade from
1920 to 1880.
1t is rather much the usual thing
about the types Of that well-adver-
tised period There are some ex-

The War Years
OF a Military
First Lady
TOGETHER

Q II *
By Katherine Tupper Mar
SHAH .'(Tapper, & LoUe;; $780,
The war years were a busy time
for Katherine Tupper Marshall. AS
wife of the Army Chief of Staff she
was military first lady. She had a
home to keep up. And she had two
sons, a son-in-law and a brother in
the combat areas. Like every Amer
ican woman she tried to do her bit
in war activities-Red Cross work,
bono. drives and so on. Nor did the
common grief of the war pass her
by--in the latter months of the
conflict her son Allen lost his life
in the fighting in Italy. In the
present book she tells her expert
ences OF that crowded time.
She begins a little before then,
to be sure-she opens her narra-
tive with her account of meeting
Gen. (then COLI Marshall for the
first time. That was in 1880. The
large part of her book, however, is
concerned with her life after the
war began.
1t is a homely little narrative,
divided about equally between Mrs
Marshall's struggles with wartime
housekeeping and schedules and re-
ports on Gen. Marshall's activities
The humors of Washington enter
tanning, the strain of making neces-
sary public appearances, the servant
problem, the difficulty of keeping a
comfortable home for her busy hus-
bands relaXation-accounts of such
preoccupations as these alternate
through the book with reports on
the generals appearances before
Congress, flights to war fronts and
takings off for. secret destinations
with minimum Of notice. 1t adds
UP, one feels, to a fairly typical
record Of an Army wife's existence.
It's utter unpretentiousness makes 1t

The author Of this biography of

frankly that he has no new material
to contribute to the already existing
records. He also says, however, that
the story of the great Russian novel
ist, as it is known, is more colorful
than any novel and that it has repre-
sented an artistic temptation to him
too strong to resist. So he has un-
dertaken to tell it in a form to do
credit to its richly romantic quality.
That is his contribution. What
results is thoroughly readable ac-
count, which comes close in manner
to the biographical novel but still
stands as biography. As a popular
history Of the immortal Russian, it
