POEMS THAT LIVE
THE PEAKS
In the night ' .
Gray, heavy clouds muffled the val
leys,
And the peaks looked toward Gor
alone,
‘‘O Master, that movest the wind
with a finger,
Humble, idle, futile peaks are we.
Grant that we may run swiftly across
the world
To huddle in worship at Thy feet."
In the morning
A noise cf men at work came through
the clear blue miles,
And the little black cities were ap
parent,
• O Master, thou *~'>west the mean
ing of raindrops,
Hurr u ’' idle, futile peaks are we.
Give voice to us, we pray, O Lord,
That we mav sing Thy goodness to
the sun."
In the evening
The far vlleys were sprinkled with
tinv lights.
“O Master,
Thou that the value of kings
and birds,
Thou hast made us humble, Idle,
futile
Thou only """dest eternal patience;
We bow to Thv wisdom, O Lord-
Humble, idle, futile peaks.”
In the night
Gray, heavy clouds muffled the val
leys,
And the peaks looked toward God
alone.

THE BOSTON BRAVES, I fear,
need more than a new name to emerge
form the cellar.
The Braves, rechristened the Bees
by popular vote, are fortunate in hav-1
ing a highly efficient director in Pres- j
ident Bob Quinn, well known to Bos- j
ton fans for his efforts in behalf of j
the Boston Red Sox, a team he head-!
ed for yeai-s.
Tough Situation
Speaking of the Bees, I recall a
remark Branch Rickey of the St. j
Louis Cardinals made to me at Brad-1
enton, Fla. As I sat with Rickey ’
watching the Cardinals in a practice
game, he said:
‘‘There gees the games guy in base-'
ball What a glutton for punishment:!
He hasn’t either players or money
to work with, hasn’t had. for ycare,!
but somehow he truns out interesting |
ball clubs.”
Rickey talks fast and. I didn’t want
to interrupt him, but in the crowd' fn!
front of me I couldn’t see anyone 3
upon whom I might pin Rickey’s es- j i
thnate. I finally asked whom he was j
talking about i
"No one but Bill McKechnie. There !;
he is, in the brown suit and soft hat. 3

Says Bill McKechnie:
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April B—“ The8 —“The Braves finished
a bad last last in 1935 and I realize most of the experts
are handing us that rating for the coming season. How
ever, right now we are not thinking about where we are
going to finish but rather how much better we can do than
last year.
“At present we are most interested in giving the Bos
ton public a new deal in baseball. With that idea in
mind, we have changed the name of the Braves to the Bees.
I realize that it is going to take more than a change in
names to better the ball club and we have such plans in
mind.
“Getting Catcher Lopez from Brooklyn was a real start
in the right direction. Lopez, one of the best catchers in j
the National league, is going to help our pitching immen
sely. We plan to make over the team with a lot of good
looking young players and while we realize it takes time
to develop a ball club, we hope to make definite progress
this year.”
Really smiling, but I don’t see how he
can do it.”
By that time I discovered McKech
nie on his way to the St. Louis bench
for a few words with Manager Frank
Frisch. Then Rickey went on to say 1

ed to such situations. He seems to
thrive on making the best of trouble
and somehow getting out of it to his
great credit. If Rickie’s size-up was cor
rect, and he isn’t often wrong, Bob
Quinn has his work cut out for him.
Realizing the value of good catch
ing to make over a ball club, as best
exempifiled in the case of the Detroit
Tigers and Mickey Cochrane, Quinn
immediately set out to remedy as best
he ould this problem. Bringing A1 Lop
ez from Brooklyn, Quinn has made a
most excellent move in the right di
rection. With Lopez catching, the Bos
ton pitching is certain to improve.
Likely Pitchers
Os course, no club gets anywhere
without pitching, I do know that
Bob Quinn intends to start from
ball vlub. In Jim Chaplin and
scratch in trying to build a young
Sharkey Eiland, Quinn has two of
the best prospects in the country.
Chaplin is harly a rookie as far as
age, being close to 30, but Eiland
is a 24-year-old youngster with
great promise. aLst season these
two pitchers carried Nashville’s
burden in the Southern league,
Chaplin winning 24 games and Ei
land 21. Eiland is a left-hander,
Quinn and McKechnie, a smart
pair to draw to, seek to give the
fans a new deal. Let’s all hope
i Bob and Bill are able to put a sting
- in the Bees!

ENVOYS OF JOBLESS
PLAN ATTACK ON
NEW DEAL RELIEF
The new deals’ relief program is due
for plenty of criticism this week.
More than 1,000 delegates of the
workers’ alliance, an organization made
up of the unemployed, are gathered
in Washington for a week-long con
vention During their parley, the al
liance delegates will tell what is
wrong with present relief policies and
advocate changes they think are
necessary.
The first speaker at the convention,
socialist Norman Thomas, lambasted
new deal relief in the opening ad
dress. He maintained that special
interests, instead of humanitarian
principles, control relief administra
tion and blamed the Triple-A for not
distributing crop control benefits
among those he said need the money
most.

DETROIT RED WINGS
ADVANCE ON CUP
DETROIT, April 8 —(TP) — The
Detroit Red Wings moved a step
nearer a Stanley cup hockey cham
pionship last night when the motor
city skaters walloped the Toronto
Leafs, 9 to 4.
As Detroit won the first game of
the Stanley cup three-out-oflfive
game final series the Red Wings have
but one more egame to win from
Toronto before claiming the Stanley
cup and the world rocket champion
ship.
What has become of the man who
insisted everyone try his home brew?
He now thinks is an expert cock
tail mixer—and isn’t
