Fifty-one thousand cash; customers —with an additional five thousand clamoring to get in—a record for Boston, reminded Beantown baseba.l folk of those boom days in 1914 when the Braves emerged from nowhere in July to capture the National League pennant in October. | it was a gala turnout and 3| 'ribute to Manager Mckechnie and his warriors who have stirred pen- . nant hopes in the breasts of Boston fans. , The marked improvement in the Braves is due in most pait to the determination of Manager Mc- ' Kechnie to turn out a winner in Boston, regardless. McKechnie took over the reins at Boston in 1930, after he had won the National League and World’s Championships with the Pirates in 1925, and then piloted the Cards to the pennant in 1928 At Boston he Ml heir to a tailender, the Braves having finished last in 1929 His first year in Boston the team finished in sixth place, but last year, despite several changes

Wolf Eel Captured Marshfield, Ore. — (UP)—A wolf eel. cr sea serpent, rare in Pacific i waters, was caught in a crab pot by William Durant and Bernard i Seven, crab fishermen.

in the lineup and the purchase of new play ers, the Braves tumbled, ' after a splendid start to seventh | place. i During the past Winter McKech-1 nie obtained seven new men; Art Shires, leading hitter of the American Association last year, was hired to cover fi»st base. Bill Hargrave, veteran catcher came up from Baltimore; Akers, of Kan I sas City, and Knothe. of Seattle, joined the infield, and pitchers Huck Betts, of St. Paul. Mangum, of Newark and Bob Brown, a former Boston schoolboy, were added to the mound staff. The success of the team so far this season is ample proof of McKechnie’s wisdom in seeking new blood. Os course the brilliant veteran Rabbit MaranvilUe is still cavorting around the middle-sack and doing his customary good job, although he is not hitting up to last year’s standard. But one of the best “buys” McKechnie made was grabbing off the youngster Bill Urbanski, formerly of Montreal. Urbanski joined the Braves last year, and

This is in order to avoid possible cbames of slander when he | . shouts “Biuening, you dog!” The j pa er cites this as evidence of .1 psychology, it says, which will tend to make governmental collaboration between moderate parties and t Hitlerites impossible.

I immediately justified the high price paid for his release. I Right now Urbanski is hitting : the ball at a .330 clip and hi- ; fielding has been superb. W itl. Knothe, at third base, Urbanski al short and the incomparable Maran viile at second. Mckechnie has on of the best infield combinations in ; the National circuit. Another young infielder whos--1 work is contributing to the success I of his team is Bill Herman, second sacker of the Chicago Cubs. Her ! man came to the Cubs from Loui.viile and took over the second ba-< post when Manager Hornsby de . cided to give up active playing And the youngster is making good with a vengeance. Yes, these youngsters and a i host of others who have come up to the big show this year, are giving Old Man Gloom quite a thump- ’ ing around Habitual tailend teams, with their new blood, have , turned the big league races topsyturvy, and in most cities the turn ’ stiles are clicking merrily and of- : ten, and the baseball moguls are !
