 Bases Loaded
 The Legion got two hits in their half of the ninth and loaded the bases, but couldn't bring in a run. McDaniels singled to center field, then Jensen sent a fly the same way and Hollman missed it. Mier- zejewski grounded to Perkins at third, who tagged McDaniels out.
 Ferraro grounded to Dean on the mound, and went out at first. Then Cope hit a high infield fly which was lost in the sun, and made first to load the bases.

 ROUNDUP

 NEW YORK, May 26.-iR-Pac- fife Coast League President Pants Rowland has stretched his third major league" campaign to the point of objecting to publicity on players salaries and the cash the coast clubs receive when they sell athletes to the Majors,
 Rowland figures that ballyhoo about slO0,00O players, actual or estimated, is a bit minor leaguish' under the circumstances and that's s the last thing he wants But the cagey Rowland won't try to keep San F'rancisco's Lefty O'Doul from hanging that S100,000 price tag on one of his athletes. Pants maintains that's just managerial psychology" to get little extra work out of the kid.
 The big news from the Coast League, the Proxy insists. is that attendance is 165,oC0 ahead of last season and the clubs are stag ing the kind of race that arouses the fans.

Reds Treated IS Law-breakers.
After my arrival in Madrid took
UP the matter of political prisoners
with the local authorities, who in
formed me that there are no more
than 5000 to 5000 such persons in
all the Spanish jails. 1t is possible,
I was told, that there are few
thousand others-Communists, agi-
tators and terrorist agents-who are
not considered political prisoners by
the Spanish authorities and who
have been placed in the same status
as ordinary law-breakers.
From reliable foreign sources it
appears that the total number of
political prisoners - including the
Communists-is between $4,000 and
SO, 900. To this number must be
added another 10000 to $4,000 who
have been in jail for some time
but, have not yet been brought to
trial.
How many Of these are political
suspects and how many are common
law-breakers is impossible to deter
mine. The overall figures Of the
foreign observers on the number
now, in Spanish jails appears to be
fairly accurate.

lowing the civil war, but today the
casual observer who visits Spain

apparent in Adolf Hitler's Germany.
During my 20-hour trip from the

trast to Italy under Benito Mus

appeared every few hours to check

exclusively by Spaniards. During

He Is starting from scratch. He has

He had been hoping to get to West

quicker and more thoroughly than
If he had matriculated at the mill
tary academy.
It was NATURAL that he should wind
up with as hardy an outfit as the
