AS TO MERCHANT MARINE

 The vote must be little discouragng the president and the secretaries oots up 82 for against the ton All the east the middle west and opposed the plan The only support from southern and far western cities and those in the far west influenced by the thought anything for starter would be better than nothing all vote the other proposon to buy the ships and lease them to private companies strongly condemned the vote being 54 for and I'll against.

The tenacious Yankees landed a big
one Yesterday. They landed a thirteen
inning prize to their growing stock OF
riches. They defeated the Boston Red
Sox In a game Of that length The
score was 4 to 3. They had to stick and
fight without a le;up TO catch and pass
the Red Sox. but they hu1g on with
as fail. and they crowded and pestered
their opponents until they wore them
out.
For six innings the yanks were turned

though they had been rapping Jack War
hop sharply, never were able 10 80 Tar

the Yanks tackled the tough Ruth prob

akgressiveness of their warfare brought
them nine hits on the puZzlins nings of
the southpaw In the last seven innings,
az compa red to one in the first six. That's
how hard they went after a victory as
time grew short and daylight began to
drift.
Ruth pitched a gaze Of quality all the
way. Only twice were the Yanks able TO
dent him for base hits which drove in
runs. but though they did this he con-
tributed a mans share toward victory.
His support wasn't good. 1nfeld mis-
plays accounted for a run against him,
ana he was Frequently nou-suppcrted BY
poor throwing by his backstops. The
Yanks stole five bases ard there wasn't
more than one good throw by the Boston

The New York defence was more
stoutly conducted With ;he help OF II
and partly throug his OWE efforts. War

Sox down well considering the number
of their hits The ephemeral life in the
game of a pinch hitter brought Cy Pleh
