THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1937 19 BREAKS Wanted By Dykes To Put White Sox In Race For American Rag. Recruits Will Have To Be Extra Good To Gain Place In Chicago Americans' Line-Up. Pasadena, March 16-(AP) -The Chicago White Sox, with no pampered prima donnas but a wellbalanced ball club, will go after the 1937 American League pennant depending on virtually the same outfit that tied for third place last season. Manager Jimmy Dykes, 39 years old, and going into his twentieth year of big-time baseball, entertains no false hopes. He merely asks for a share of the breaks and the same surprising spirit that carried the Sox into a third-place tie with Washington last year.

That brought a slice of World Series money to the Sox. They would like some more-and may get it. TOUGH GOING. Spring observations may fall to pieces by summer, or even before the real warfare starts, but it looks like tough going for freshmen recruits on the club. Dykes will give every rookie a fair shake, even sacrificing whatever prestige there is in winning early exhibition games, but it is no secret that his main interest is centered on the broad shoulders of one newcomer.

Peculiarly enough, this is the youngster he hopes will take his place at third base, nineteen-yearold Steve Mesner, who will be the only new face in the infield if he succeeds beating old man Dykes out of the job. HITS .344. hander. SEWELL IS THERE. "He's welcome to it if he can handle it," Dykes declared.

Mesner, built like Dykes but stockier, hit .344 for Los Angeles last year. Under careful coaching, he may iron out fielding defects. first, the Sox have Zeke Bonura, the New Orleans Italian. Zeke hit .330 last season and led the a league in fielding chances handled. He's in better condition this spring than ever and the same stop led the loop in batting goes for.

Luke Appling, the shortwith .388. Jack Hayes at second, a great cog in the infield, and either Dykes or Mesner at third The garden combination complete the of lefthand hitters -Rip Radcliff, Mule Haas, Walker, Larry Rosenthal and Henry Steinbacker, latter a recruit who hit .357 with St. Paul last year. Mike Kreevich is the only righthand batter on the regular roll, but Tom McBride, who might qualify for second or short, performed well with Longview, in his first year of pro ball. He's a right- The veteran Luke Sewell, who caught most of the 1936 schedule, and Mervyn Shea back.

Both are only fair hitters. Sewell is are, very valuable to young pitchers as well as the oldtimers. The Sox are scarce of southpaw pitchers, Italo Chelini being the only regular. On thea other side, however, they have Lyons, the dean, who is confident of a good season--his fifteenth, incidentallyVern Kennedy, last year's star with 21 wins; Johnny Whitehead, who won 13 and should better this season; Clint Brown, Merritt (Sugar) Cain, who got his holdout troubles adjusted; Monty Stratton, and Bill Dietrich, all of whom finished the season with the Pale Hose last year, with a total of 82 victories to their credit for the season. MORE RECRUITS.

Frank Papish and Gale Wolfe from Omaha; Duncan Rigney from St. Paul, and Thornton Lee, late of Cleveland, are newcomer pitching candidates. George Rensa, up from Dallas; Ed Skoronski, Purdue 'University catcher, and several other backstops are out for the extra catching job. That's the White Sox outlook. TOO MUCH TALENT Confronts Coach Of Ohio State Baseball Squad.

Columbus, Ohio, March 16-(AP) -Coach Floyd Stahl of the Ohio State University baseball squad wondered today what to do with all the talent, reversing the usual coaching worry of where to get the talent. The Buck outfield positions were two deep with topnotch players, with an extra man to make seven wanting to play the three posts. Bill Booth and Francis Smith rate evenly for left field; Paul Birkholtz and Vic Dorris compete for the center field jobs; and Gus Zarnas, Bob Conklin, and Bill Laybourne each is good for right field. Fred Silverstein also is showing up well for a chance at left field. Zarnas, however, may be moved behind the plate to relieve the fielding situation.

If not, Dick Wulfhorst or Walter Seaman will catch. The infield also is a problem to Stahl. At first base he could put Jim Coughlin, Tony Jesko, or Billy Wells. Gene Myers threatens to push Tippy Dye for the second sack spot. Captain Jack Raudabaugh is scheduled to hold down shortstop, but may meet competition from Morris Haas and Glen Poff, both sophomores.

Nick Wasylik probably will be at third, with Dick Collins a capable substitute. John Edwards, backed by sophomores John Dagenhart and Mark Kilmer, top the pitching staff. Several practice sessions on warm days have loosened up the squad preparatory to a week's training trip starting next Monday with a game against Washington and Lee at Lexington, Va. MAT CARD COMPLETED For Friday Night--Rasher And Wykoff In Headliner. Three, preliminaries Wykoff to the wrestling Andy match Friday night at the Music Hall Auditorium were announced yesterday.

Rasher, unbeaten in Cincinnati, was held to a forty-five-minute draw by Wykoff last week in the St. Louisan's first appearance here in three years. George Zaharis, Pueblo, will take on John Grandovich of Jugoslavia in the one fall, fortyfive-minute semi-final, while Sam Becker, Brooklyn, will return to furnish the opposition to Eddie Malone, East St. Louis, Ill. The curtain-raiser will be between Harry (Boxcar) Jacobs, Los Angeles, and "Red" Ryan of St.

Louis. DE SALES FIVE Ousted By Glenway By 30-19 Score- Beat Procter And Gamble Municipal Cage Results.

SHORT WAVE FAVORED 7 FOR TREATING DISEASE The electro-magnetic short-wave method of medical diathermy, by which waves of energy are sent from insulated coils into the body to produce localized heat for treating various diseases, is the most efficient clinical method for producing deep heat, Dr. John S. Coulter, Associate Professor of Physical Therapy, Northwestern University Medical School, told the Academy of Medicine last night.

Both the physiological and clinical effects of the method are due to the heat produced, Dr. Coulter said. Heretofore much medical diathermy has been done by passing currents of electricity through the body from an electrode placed directely against one point on the body's surface to another electrode. in both instances, the heat results from the flesh's resistance to the current. Dr.

Coulter's paper was prepared with the assistance of Stafford L. Osborne, Research Assistant at Northwestern, where extensive research on relative efficiency of various of short wave medical diathermy has been going on. The paper was discussed by Dr. Edwin L. Libbert.

Dr. Coulter told the physicians that the American Medical Association's Council on Physical Therapy, of which he is a member, stands ready to advise them on diathermy machines best suited to their requirements. MILLION Is Collected In Graft By San Francisco Police Each Year From Vice And Gambling Houses, Survey Shows. San Francisco, March 16-CAP) Charges that San Francisco police were collecting $1,000,000 annually in graft, $324,000 of it from houses of prostitution, appeared today in the final report of investigator Warren Atherton, who spent $60,000 and more than a year in his inquiry, The investigator, a former Jus tice Department agent, said the unenforcibility of laws against prostitution, gambling, and other alleged vices accounted for the graft system. He recommended licensing, which he said would not increase gambling or prostitution, and would reduce graft tribute by $120,000 a year.

Atherton said he found about 135 "old-established houses of prostitution" in San Francisco; that to open a new one the operators first had to pay police $500 to $750, and then $250 monthly. The investigator asserted there were 150 places in the city where bookmakers took bets on dogs and horse races, and they paid the bluecoats approximately $15,000 monthly "for protection." The graft investigation had its inception nearly two years ago when John V. Lewis, Collector of Internal Revenue, told a luncheon club that income tax investigation of certain Police Department memberg indicated they had become wealthy through pay-offs. The investigation led to the resignation or dismissal of several officers. One or more of them admitted possessing, fortunes of $200,000, their wealth was tainted by graft.

Today's report was made public officially by presiding Superior Judge George J. Steiger. TO ADDRESS INMATES.

A social and economic philosophy growing out of religion and based on universal good will was prescribed as a solution of social and economic issues by Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam of the Omaha area of the Methodist Episcopal Church and former President of DePauw University, last night at the meeting of the Good Will organization at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church.

"Whither America?" was his subject. In answer to the question, he said he "did not know," but that the direction to be taken would be determined by the actual wishes of the nation's citizens when they face and consider the problems of the time, which he said was an "if moment," or crisis, in the history of the country. Not mere "burning of incense before the Democratic form," but sincere and intelligent support of the democratic ideal is necessary for a satisfactory solution of problems of liberty, equality, and fraternity, he said. Some intimation of the forthcomanswer to the question "Whither America?" may be seen in the extent to which people appreciate and support good will movements, he said. Bishop Oxnam's address was the closing feature of a meeting which was opened yesterday afternoon at Good Will Settlement, where Dr.

Richard E. Scully, pastor of Trinity Church, was the speaker. who participated were Mrs. fathers ter Smith, Blanche Brown and Margaret Brown, E. J.
