Detroit Will Be Hard To
Beat In American League
Al Simmons Expected tol
Add Punch to Tiger Line-!
up in Junior Loop Race
e ————— |
‘ BY PAUL MICKESON ‘
(Associated Press Sports Wiriter) ‘
LAKELAND, Fla. — (®) —. It'e
'gomg to be some job to hold that|
Tiger, # i
. Since the Chicago Cubs attempt
ed to cage him in last fall's World
Series, the Tiger from Detroit has
grown several wide stripes that
promise to make him even stronger
and more ferocious as he stalks the
American 'league- jungles in search
of his, third big pennant feast in
as many hunts,
The widest gtripe i 3 Al Simmons,
who suddenly seema to have tound‘
his old self in the Tiger lair. In
atead of pining and fretting as hel
did last season with Chicago, where
hig batting average dropped to newl
low of .26, Al looks like the Al or
his old days with the Athletics|
when he pounded the ball at a .390
clip, In fact, Manager .Mlckey’
Cochrane, the champion worrier of
all baseball, ifsn't = even worrying
about him. He's convinced Al will
hit $75,000 worth, the amount De
troif gave the White Sox for his
contract, during the coming sea
son.
If Simmons comeg through, the
Tigers will have a strong hitting
outfield for the first time in years.
In their pennant drives in 1934 and
'36, the Tigers never had more
than’ one .300 hitter in their oute
field. Chester Laabs, a fine look
ing and hard hitting rookie from
Fort Wayne, Ind., has been con-l
verted from an infielder to an out
fielder in the event the veteran‘
Whrld ‘Series hero, Goose Goslin,
lhaa a bad year. With Simmons,
,Goalln and Pete Fox all going
i strong, Cochrane's outfield worries
would be over. |
The rest of the lineup probably!
will be the same as that which cap
tured the world title ‘except that‘
Don Ross, rookie from Beaumont.i
may oust Marvin Owen from his
third base job, Roas, who acts and}
fields like Owen, is regarded as
one of the best rookie findg of the
season. l
Hank Greenberg is a cinch to
take over the first basing when he
signs but Cochrane is impressed
with another rookie, Rudolph York
from Beaumont. i
Tommy Bridges, Schoolboy Rowe,i
Elden Auker, General Crowder andl
Roxie Lawson will comprise the‘
“Big Five"” pitching staff at the
start, Clar (Red) Phillips, who won
20 and lost 11 for Beaumont last‘j
season, is rated as the best of the!
young hurlers. Phillips, facially a
dead ringer for the great Walter
Johnson, was with the Tigers for a
’short time in 1934, E

Cunningham is Man to Beat
For Olympic “Metric Mile”
Venzke, Mangan Will Not
Beat Glenn in Olympic
Bids, Coaches Believe
BY ALAN GOULD
.NEW YORK — (#) — 8o far
as America ig concerned, Glenn
Cunningham remains the “man to
beat” in the Olympic 1500 meters—
the “Metric Mile.”
This, at least, is the consensus
of our foremost track and field
coaches, who do not consider that
this winter’s developments, in
cluding a series of setbacks for the
world mile record-holder, indicate
Cunningham is on the down-grade.
To the contrary it i 3 their view
that the great Kansan has ‘“rated”
himself carefully and purposely,
wltp' the Olympic tryouts and the
Berlin gameg as his main objectives.
Cunningham himself confirmed this
!operation after outsprinting his
two indoor rivals Gene Venzke and
Joe Mangan, in the fantastically
run Columbian Mile last Saturday
night,
The explanation for Cunning
ham’s defeats in most of the win
ter's big raceg is not that Glenn
has slipped but that Gene and Joe
have improved tremendously., Un
til the history-making Wanamaker
Mile at the Millrose A, A. games
there wasn’t the slightest hint that
Mangan had a 4:11 performance in
his system, with Venzke at his
heels. Not since 1932 has Venzke
flashed the form that carried him
to a world record victory over Cun
ningham in the National A, A. U,
1500 meter championship. Glenn.
himself was inside: his own mcordl‘
for that event, \
Just how, you may ask, does all
this tend to Brighten Cunningham'’s
chances of being America’s No. 1[
bidder for honors in the Olympicl
classic? the answer, to quote Law
son Robertson of Pennsylvania, the|
Olympic head coach, is that Glenn,
at top form, “can run a faster
quarter mile or a faster half mile
than any of his rivals.”
“Cunningham,” Robertson adds,
“can do a half mile in 1:51, That’s
why he holds all world mile-run
ning records. Glenn wasn’t in the
best of shape earlier this winter‘
and he wasn't prepared for the!
hot pace Mangan and Venzke were!
setting.” l
Venzke's dazzling (:ome-back.‘
nevertheless, is the Olympic vear’'s
high-spot. The future foot-racing
of Penn'g popular picture runner
will be followed with special inter
est because he was frustrated in
his quest for international honors
in. 1932. Cunningham was Venzke's
nemesig then and for three sub
sequent years but Gene turned the
tables in spectacular fashion after
trailing Glenn in 22 out of 23 races.

~ NEW YORK — This correspond
ent, who has prowled around New
York long enough on foot, took a
‘sightseeing bus ride the other day
and came away without his
money’s worth, Because, behind
the panorama of skyscrapers, fan
cy residences and landmarks of
this town, there are tales which,
somehow, the guides neglect to tell.
. Greenwich Village, for example,
‘ls not the Bohemian Gehenna the
‘man with the megaphone makes
of it. And the Bohemian stal
warts of the golden days who still
survive are few and a sad tribe.
Saddest of them all 1s Maxwell
Bodenheim, the pauper poet who
wrote 20 lusty, well-known books
that should have kept him mod
estly comfortable for life but who
inow subsists on home relief, be
cause he sold his royalties oute
iright and squandered the proceeds.
Old Greenwich Village has pass
ed into a limbo of Ye Olde Gypsy
Tea, Roome, Ye Pig n’ Whistle,
Serve-Ur-Selfs and other pseudo
arty placks forsfßodénheim and
his ilk. Save for one or two gath
ering dens, the old Village haunts.
’have disappeared. Huber's where
impoverished poets penned a son
' net for any one who would supply
‘them with cups of coffee, is no
where in sighe. And. so the old
guard now makes their rendezvous
in a Seventh Avenue basement
ealled the Vanguard, where there
is much mooching of drinks and
smokes. Bodenheim is a regular‘
visitor and his little circle of Vil
lage survivors consists of Harry}
Kemp who once wrote a poplar
vagabond tale called “Trampingi
on Life,” John Rose Gildea, a
rarely published poet, and Lincoln
Gillespie a literary worshipper otl
Gertrude Stein.
Morgue and Morgan
1 wish the guide had also paus
ed to tell the sightseers the eerie
story of the Ne wYork Yacht Club
when the bus scooted past, by the
Fast River bank at the foot of
Twenty-Second Street. Not so long
ago, this tony club where J. P.
Morgan and Vincent Astor, among
other milllonaire commodores, keepi
their lavish skiffs, was the site of
the city morgue. Then. during the‘
last days of prohibition, the huild-|
ing was converted into a alcohol’
atorehouse for New York Clty's'
hospitals. l
But it seems some bright. rumi
runner paddled under the pier in
a rowhoat one night, bored a hole
through the floor and the barrels
and drained out the entire alco
hol supply. City officials gave up;l
and turned the former municipal
lodging house for the dead, over to
wealthy yacht-owners as a fash
ionable clubhouse.
On the trip to the Bowery, it
seemed to me the guide was re
citing a chapter from the “The
Gangs of New York.” To memion-l
ed McGurk's Suicide Hall, the
mission riots, the shooting forays.
‘But any New Yorker who has loit
ered an evening in the shadow of
of the “L” on this street of the
down-and-outs knows the Bowery
these days in a time place. The
principal sights on almost any
night are forgotten men who
dawdle as they walk toward the
flophouse (15 cents’ for the night)
or to the corner beanery (2 cents
for a plate of soup.) |
Hidden Sights
Sighteeers get a passing glimpse
of the grim walls of the Tombs as
the bus careens by Center Street,
but they miss the drama the Lew
stages every morning on the top
floor of Police Headquarters. Here
every day at 9 a. m. sharp, the
Police Lineup parades the crimi
nals picked up the night befora.
Some for petty larceny, some for
bigtinte burglaries, others for mur
der. The melodrama is played be
fore an eagle-eyed audience of
plainclothesmen, on a stage illum
inated by high- powered lamps.
For hard-boiled souls, it is the
best show in town; for weaklings,
it is a gruesome spectacle.
But your correspondent confess
es he enjoyed hearing again that
the Empire State is the tallest
building in the world, that Bread
way is the crossroad of the world
and that the Aqguarium is still the
favorite place of interest. S 4

Several hundred children were
marooned in schools in western
North Carolina by snowdrifts.
Heavy snow impeded traffic inr
parts of New York and Pennsyl

Over all the east, the property
damage was .mounting inte many

In New England, te Connecticut
river was rising swiftly. A heavy

ITALY WILL NOT
JOIN IN SANCTIONS
AGAINST GERMANY
l (Continued From Page One)
Germany, served notice they were
not prepared to enter into any
negotiations with * Germany until
in May—after the French and
German parliamentary elections.
French sourees declared that
any 'Paris government agreeing to
a joint Franco-German demilita=
rized zone, policed by the League
of Nation®, would sound its own
death knell.
French sourceg insisted no gove
ernment, in the present state of
French nationalism after the Ger=
man occupation of the Rhineland
and before the French spring elecs
tions, would dare subscribe to any
plan by which a pertion of its own
territory would be policed by for
eign representatives.
Comes In Advance
The French reaction to the re
ported . British plan for a new
European security system came
| just in advance of a new session
of diplomats of the: Locarng. pow
ers, seeking to arrive at a lasting
solution of the crisis precipitated
by Germany’'s Rhine watch in de
fiance of the Locarno pact and
lVersallles treaty. |
A British foreign office spokes-‘i
man emphasized that all reports}
of the British draft were uncon
firmed speculation, but recalled
that a joint demilitarization was
,proposed by Adolf Hitley, whoso
plans the British promised would
|be considered in due course. I
} League sources, aware of the
French views, felt that such Brit-‘
lish proposals, while they mighi
eventually be acceptable, were pos=
litically impess<ible in both France
and Germany. ! ‘
Await Cooled Tempers
For this reason, it was believed
the British would not press for
immediate solution of the crisis,
but would agree to put off diffi
cult discussions until tempere
cooled,
The French, aroused because of
'the delay in the League of Na
| tions council’'s econdemnation of
iGermany for its treaty breach,
were believed to be %emanding a
lsbowdown at the session of Loe
| arno diplomats on the guestion of’
| finding Germany guilty,
| The Britith, not Interested im,
| punishing Germany, felt that thel
situation should be utilized fori
constructive efforts instead of de-)
[structive moves such as might fol
!low any voting of sancticns
against the Reich.
Amid the controversy over the
reported Britisn proposals, Ger--‘
man delegates were flying from
Berlin to join the council deliber
ations, and the executive body of
the League was summoned to A
public session later today at S!.'}
lJames’ palace.

STARK REALISM
MlLWAUKEE—(®)—Amateur ac
tors Rebert Nelson, 14, Kenneth
Benson, 15, and Robert Schneider
14, jumped around the stage and
yelled exactly as the script called (|
for—but they weren't acting. '
In the play they were supposed
to drink a mysterious portion that
would give them the characterig
tics of jumping beans. Somebody
switched the props. Instead of the
scheduled colored water they each
took a swig of liniment. -
