Visit Is Important
The delegation was sufficient
evidence of the importance which
was attached to the prime min-
ister's visit|. The augury, how-
ever, was an unhappy one. Brit-
ish people were pessimistic as to
the outcome. They approved
Chamberlain's determination to
visit Mussolini, but only because
it was one more effort to get
Europe off the road toward war.
They had little hope that it would
succeed.
As Chamberlain left, Adolf Hit-
ler had just announced his inten-
tion of seeking equality of sub-
marine strength with the British
navy. Mussolini's fascist troops
were fighting alongside the Span-
ish nationalists in a gigantic civil
war offensive, timed to coincide
with Chamberlain's visit and im-
press him with the inevitably of
an insurgent victory. Italian
Newspapers, closely controled by
Mussolini, were clamoring for
concessions from France.
The Paris tea conference was
a notification to Italy that Great
Britain and France remained al-
lies in event of any international
trouble caused by Italian dem-
ands.

STAR
TODAY and WEDNESDAY
ed of Colonel Jake Ruppert this
year was a $5,000 boost.
"I think that is a reasonab'e
request," he said. "We had a
championship team last year, one
that walked home in the Ameri-
can and took the World Series in
four straight. Being as I led the.
club in hitting and ruiis batted in,
I fisjure I have a raise coming."
DiMai?'gio is sick and tired of
not being on hand for the open-
ing game of the year.
"I have been with, the Yanks
three years," he said; "and hnve
yet to play an opening 'fame. The
first year I had a bad foot that
kept me out. The next year it was
my tonsils. And last .year I was
holding out. This year I want to
start off from scratch."
If he doesn't aet his raise, t"«v
ever. Joe is likely to be late. The
accident to Monte Stratton, White
Sox pitcher who lost a leg, height-
ened his belief that a ballplayer's
career is a treacherous oine, and
that a fellow has to get his money
while the getting is good.
"You never can tell when some-
thing is going to happen." Joe
said, "Something that will end
your career. I don't believe in a
player beinit selfish or placing too
high a price on his services, but a
fellow's a sucker not to try and
get all he can. He may bo a star
one day, and a cripnle the next."
Keeps iHis Dock
Joe revealed that Colonel Rup-
pert never has returned the mon-
ey he dockd the outfielder for
beinlg late last year.
"Evryfcody kept telling me all
year that I would get it back, and
not to worry, but here it is Janu-
ary of the next year and the fif-
teen hundreds bucks is still mis-
sing. I can't kick because I had t
comini? to me. but I do with ev-
erybody hadVt got my hopes ut>
for nothing."
It will be comforting to the
other American league clubs to
learn that DiMatrgio doesn't think
there is a team in the league that
can make a fight of it with the
Yanks this year.
"We won bv nine or ten games
last year," he said, "and this
j ear we ought to be better. Char
ley Keller will make the outfield
better and Hilderbrand figures
to win 15 or more games. Too,
Gehrig is sure to have a better
year. We ought to win in a
breeze. We not only have good
hitting—we have the best de-
fensive club in the league."
Joe thinks Eldon Auker and
Jf.ke Wade, the pitchers Boston

Sox.
"You just can't hit that Auk-
er's sinker ball into that shor:
left field stand, and Wada is a
Southpaw with lots of stuff."
Joe isn't inclined to be any toj

er pitcher Detroit boutrht from
the Coast league for $50,000. He
says his brother, Dominick, who
plays for San Francisco, never
had any trouble hitting Hutchin-
son. and besides, if he had really
been so hot, the Yanks would have
gotten him.
DiMafrgio had a good word for
Wes Ferrell.
"He's a new man since he pot

the temperament is gone and he'll
win a tot of games this vear. He
says the operation fixed his arm
up and he is ready to go."
D"rintr our conversation I ask-
ed Joe to name the best pitcher
he e"er faced.
"That's easy," he said. "Dizry.
