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. —Stephen Crane.

Help A ; From Nashville EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the four teenth of a series of sixteen articles by Billy Evans, in which Central Press covers the big league training camps. By BILLY EVANS Copyright, 1936, by Central Press 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 WEDNESDAY— APRIL 8, 1936.

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.

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!

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.
