REDS HITTING . HARO TO DATE Cincinnati Returns To Home Field Today For 15 Games t I Cincinnati. Apr. 21 The sluggI Ing "Reds. who have a team batting average of .291 for their first seven games, returned to Ciucini nati last night and today open a j home stand which will include fifteen games al Crosley field be- ■ tween now and May 7. The St. , Louis Cardinals, alias the "Gas House Gang." are the first visitors, today and tomorrow. ■ Friday will be an open date, after , which the Chicago Cubs, National i league champions, open a throei game series Saturday. ; The Saturday and Sunday games against the Cubs will start at 2:30 ; o'clock but all week day games at , Crosley field start at 3 p. m. During the training season the ! 'Reds worried Manager Charley Dressen because of their light hitting. But if they can maintain a pace anything like their hitting in the first seven games, the Reds; are going to have plenty of fun | bringing grief to seven other National league teams. Ijist season the Reds averaged 1 .265 with the stick. The Cubs. ! who led the league in hitting, aver-' aged .288. It would be expecting; too much to figure the Reds would | 'continue at a .291 pace all season, but the fans are hoping tbeir early t season hitting is an indication they ; will have considerably more punch , than last season. Ernie Ixmibardi, big . Redleg catcher, could feel proud of his I batting average this morning—n cool .481. Billy Myers is hitting! .360. while Lew Riggs and Babe i i Herman are both well above the. 1.300 mark. Only once in the first seven 1 games have the Reds made less than six runs, and on that lone occasion they scored five times. In i five games the Reds have made ten hits, and in the other two con-i tests they had to be content with the respectable total of nine safe- • ties. They have 16 doubles, four 1 triples and eight home runs to their credit. Bud Parmelee and Paul Dean may do the Cardinal pitching toiday and tomorrow, probably drawing as their opponents Al Hollingsworth and Paul Derringer. The Reds may have to face Lon Warneke. Bill Lee and either Charley Root or Tex Carleton in the Chi- ’ cago series Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Reds defeated the Cubs two out of three games in theii opening series in Chicago, and have hopes of repeating the performance in Cincinnati, or even doing bet‘ter. The Red pitchers will have to be particularly careful how they pitch to Chuck Klein. The husky outfielder who cost the Cubs $125,000 and three players had four homers to his credit yesterday, and was batting around the .400 mark. ITALY TROOPS <>»■ vi t-t t-i-nw pens- n\*r tionnaire have been drawn up by foreign office experts, and were ready for study by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden when he reTurned yesterday from the league meeting at Geneva. It was believed that a tentative draft of questions was ready for a meeting of the cabinet today at which Eden submited his report on the failure of the league council to halt Italy's war on Ethiopia. The questionnaire is to be submitted to fuehrer Adolf Hitler to obtain clarification of the proposals which Hitler made in his memorandum of April 1, after the reoccupation by German troops of the demilitarized Rhineland zone. Particularly, the questions are designed to answer French doubts ! and suspicions of Germany's intentions, and it was learned that a prime feature was regarding Hitler's views on the possibility of making the security of east European states certain The plan was reported to be to obtain clarification of security questions from Hitler for use immediately after the French parliamentary elections of April 26 and , May 3. Then it would be possible to start negotiations over the Rhinei land problem and other features of European security. Notice!

It would be suspected that when people rush about it’s because ot some good reason. Perhaps going to a fire, or something like that. It has been said that there's a surplus of leisure in America, hut that everyI body is in more of a hurry than ever before. Automobiles are made faster than »ver. People drive faster than ever. They even die faster than ever. Most persons think the dare-devil aerial stuntster plays fast and loose with life. They say, *T wouldn’t do that.” They shudder when they see a window cleaner hanging by a life • belt, high above the street. Most persons say, “I wouldn’t do that.” They watch with bated breath the structural steel worker walking almost gingerly around on the skeleton of a huge skyscraper. None of that for the average person.

The stunts of the rope walker, the trapeze performer, the high diver and all his brothers and sisters are not pursuits for the mine-run of individuals. Not by a jug full. But few drivers regard in a serious light the hazards of motoring. To most there’s nothing to worry about when a car is being driven at high rates of speed, or when a curve or corner is taken sharply, or when another car is met almost head on at the top of a hill. The record of the occurrence of automobile accidents last year—the smashing of cars with trains, against trees and telephone poles and against bridges, the wrecking of cars going off the road, and the collision of cars at innumerable places—all go to indicate that many drivers don’t realize the constant risks which only the utmost care makes It possible to avoid.

LEFTY GROVE HURLS WINNER Allows Only Three Hits To Keep Red Sox In Second Place New York. Apr. 22—(U.PJ—The early evidence indicates that Joe Cronin, youthful Boston Red Sox pilot, was right when he said: "Give uu some pitching to help Grove and Ferrell and we'll win the pennant." The Boston Red Sox were riding along in second place iu the American league today, with six victories and two defeats, ami Lefty Grove and Wes Ferrell have done their share io put them there. Grove and Ferrell have won two games each nnd share with Buck Newsom. Washington, and Schoolboy Rowe, Detroit, the lead among American league pitchers. Grove won his second straight yesterday, an abbreviated 8-1 triumph over Washington. When rain halted the game at the end of the sixth inning Grove was pitching in masterful style. He had allowed only three hits, and the only run made off him result- ■ cd from an error mid the failure of the infield to make a double . .play. - In 15 innings Grove has allowed . - only five hits and one unearned • I run. i The Yankees did another nimh- • inning tailspin against the Athletics. but came out of it just in . time to eke out a 7-6 victory, i New York led 7-2 going into the i. final inning. WaJly Moses' triple with the bases loaded and Puccinelli's eingle drove in four runs before the rally was halted. After the Phillies had scored four runs in the eighth and one in the ninth to tie the score, the New ■ York Giants won out in their half . of the ninth. 7-6. Jim Ripple’s i single, an infield out. a walk and I Hank Leiber's single oft Curt ■ Da,vie gave the Giants their sixth , j victory In seven games played. I: The Brooklyn Dodgers and Bosi ton Bees played a 6-6 tie which i was called at the end of the : twelfth becase of darkness. II Yesterday's hero: Eric McNair,,

Trueman Hirschfield. I instated ou going back Into ennnb- . ling, sloping Ruynolds shaft, in which the rescue work centered, after wounds caused by falling ne k were dressed at tlio emergency hospital. i Harvey Higgins of Concord, i Mass., who made a complete survey of tho mine 18 months ago, arrived early today and conferred with officials. He is believed to know more than anyone else about the layout of the mine and the ■ rock formations there. He said the rock bed was solid 1 below the 141-foot level in which Robertson arid Scadding are trap- ■ ped. If thh effort to reach through the crumbling old Reynolds shaft fails, he believed u new shajt -could be blasted safely. Others still thought that blasting would bo likely to shake loose tons of rock that might crush Robertson, Scadding and rescue workers alike. Although both Scadding’s and ' Robertson's voices seemed strong to those who talked to them today ' through the "iife-line" bore that was drilled into.- their chamber, doejors at the surface were worried over the Condition of both men. Scadding was suffering from trench feet, due to hours of wading about-in cold water in the mine, and was reported to be > gravely in need of medical attention. Robertson’s cold, which it was feared yesterday might develon into pneumonia, wa.s somewhat better. But his strength was so low that physicians knew his con- ■ dition might become worse at any . time. Bottles of sterile water were brought to the mine head for use of doctors in any emergency treatment that might be necessary | when the men are brought out. The cots set up there were warmed with hot water bottles. Crews of men were put to work on the 17-mile road from the mine to Middle Musquodoboit, so that , the ambulances can ggt through
