HONORS
Games of 400, 468, and 45O
Equal Record of Vaunted
HiIItoppers.

Western Union provided a surprise
last night in the ladies' duckpin tour
ney now in progress at the Grand

doubles with a score of COS. The
Rawlings sisters, after a brilliant
start Monday night, fell down badly
when they paired in the doubles last
night. Their score was 531.
Mrs. Malcolm, always at her best
in medal events, went to the fore in
last nights singles. After a bad
start with an SO, she turned in a
game of 1871, running her set over the
800 mark.
Mrs. Ackman and the Misses
Lowd, GULL, Miner and Levy, rated
among the best in the association,
rolled in the singles last night, but
not one could reach 800.

Receipts $50, 900, But
Big Soccer Stars
Get Only $40

Something like $4,000 was
paid by soccer fans recently to
see the cup tie play off at
Wembley Stadium in England.
Enough money was taken in at
the game to pay the salaries of
two of Americas high-priced
baseball players for one year.
But over in England the Soc
Ger management gets enough
money out of this one game to
pay the players of both teams
for several years. Their wages
are $40 per week when they
are topnotchers, and a rule of
the association makes that sal
airy the maximum.
Soccer magnates could well
afford to pay 100000 for a
player, but they don't.

The Sisters come far and few
between and it would be pity II
his eye trouble would affect him
permanently.
The unpleasant and at the same
time fortunate fact of the matter
so lar as the Yanks are concerned
is that hes out, and since 1t is un-
certain just when he'll be back,
we've got to figure the Browns
accordingly.
Last year the Browns finished
Just a little behind us with Sisler
in the game all season. With him
out of it for at least good part Of
the season what chance have the
Browns of finishing first?
There's only one answer. They
can't win without him. The
pitching staff is just about the
same as it was last year, and SO
Is the rest of the team, except
that young Robertson is playing
regularly at third base and doing
o good job Of it.
But with Siz back in the game
bunch will do. What l mean is
that the psychological effect of his
return may make them play above
their natural strength, and for this
reason l say they're a hard outfit
to dope. Sisler is the great big
question mark.
Until the Browns got Fred
Schliebner from Brooklyn Marty
McManus played first in Sisters
place. McManuS is what I'd call
ball players player.
The players think he's a wonder,
and sooner or later the baseball
public will think the same. But by
moving him over to first the team
naturally lost strength at second.
Now that he's back 10 his own job
the infieId has more balance, even
though Schliebner isn't a great
hitter. His fielding, however, will
help a lot. In the one game he
played against us the Browns
looked a lot better than they did in
the other three games of the series.
Johnny Gerber, of course, is il
great little shOrtstOp, and Robert
son, as j say, looks pretty good.
The OUtfield IS the same as it was
last year. There's no fault to be
found there. Williams, TObin and
Jacobson are stars.
Hank SEVERED, behind the plate, is
a firstrate catcher, and Pat Collins
is a good second-string man.
The pitching, however, is a prob
lem. Urban ShoclSer won five

So you've got to give the Browns
credit for beating Connie Mack's
team and judge them as much by
that as by the fact that we beat
them four straight.
There's going to be a free-for-all
scrap for second and third places
and it may be that the Browns will
finish away up without Sisler. but
the chances, 1 think, are against
them with Sis out of the game for
the better part of the season.
McManus, Gerber, Williams, To-
bin, SEVERED and Jacobson are all
firstrate men and Shocker is one
of the best pitchers in the big
leagues. But 1t takes at least eight
men above the average and more
than one first-class pitcher to win
a pennant or finish second, and the
Browns haven't got them right now.
With Sisler in there the Browns
are an altogether different. team.
He is to the Browns what ham is
to ham and eggs.
Here's hoping he gets well soon.

MELLON .TO HEAR BRETON COMPLAIN IF IND l | \ | I F |
Claimed English Ship Captain Was UnduIy Detained At
 Ellis Island

LONDON, June 25-(By Associated ress.)-Andrew Mellon, American
 Secretary of the Treasury, will proba- bly be consulted by British officials upon his arrival here with regard to alleged indignities forced upon British subjects landing at Ellis ls- land, the House of Commons was in- formed today by Ronald McNeill, under secretary for foreign affairs.
 The subject was brought up by Captain Viscount CurZon, member for the south division of Battersea, who called attention to the case of an unnamed English mercantile captain, who. he said, was made to land at Ellis Island on April 2S, last, placed in wire cage with 30 foreigners and afterwards forced to strip for examination, although his passport was in perfect order and he had been told by the American consul that there would be no difficulty.
 Under Secretary McNeill, replying to the member, said he would gladly receive the captain at the foreign of flee if the latter desired to tell ot his case. He thought there was ,ap- parently ground for representations to the American government, pro- viding the captain allowed his name to be used.
 Mr. MeNeilI added that, in the ab- sence of any guarantee that innocent travellers would not be subjected to these indignities, he could only re- neat that the real remedy was for British subjects to refrain fro1n going to United States.

democratic primaries, in order to confuse the situation in that party, while democratic leaders, who do not yearn for him as a problem in their ranks, are seeking to have him en- tered in the republican primaries.
 Both the organizations - meaning those in control of the republican and democratic party machinery like Ford as nominee as little as they did Hoover years ago.
 Organized labor has been chary about adopting him and probably, in a show down, would be opposed to him. National defense societies and certain interests advocating large ar mics and navies would oppose him in the belief that his administration 'would favor navy of jitney subma- rines and "eagle" boats, while scrap ping the men of war to beat them into farm tractors.
 What to do with Ford is question any one talking politics with the so- called political general staffs these days realizes is uppermost in the minds. Despite the Dearborn manu- facturer's reticence in discussing the subject there Is conviction in the minds of republicans IS well as demo- crats in staff headquarters that Ford is a potential candidate for the presi- dencv and that his great organization is functioning smoothly, with ade- quate financial support to boom him.
 The worried leaders take comfort in the fact that Ford must have a party to hang his hat on if he is going to make showing. Further more, they believe he must put that hat on one of the two major parties if he is to win. It would appear he would not have a chance to break the already organized intention of the repu blicans to renominate Presi- dent Harding.
 The situation in the democratic party has not even begun to clear, and, given the right support, Ford might well regard a democratic nomi- nation as easily within the range of possibility. His anti-Jew campaign, however, apparently has frightened off William Randolph Hearsts sup port for the moment at least. Also, while Bernard NJ. Baruch's recent ad vocacy of leasing Muscle Shoals to Ford despite the latteris repeated at tacks upon Baruch, created some sur prise. it has no political significance. Baruch advocated the Muscle Shoals lease beause he thought it right and elected to pass over the anti-Jew attacks of Ford upon him. It does
