.. breaking New York's win
ming streak. which had been stretched
to nine straight.
At the same time the Mackmen
shcared two full games off the Yanks'
hold on the league pinnacle which is
now eight contests.
In the first tussle, Lefty Grove
worked well up to the ninth, striking
out 10 batters. Three successive hits
were punched off him in the final
frame and he gave way to Pate who
barely held the Philadelphia lead.
New York had four runs in and run
ners on third and first when Lou
Gehrig was called out on strikes to
end the game.
Babe Ruth again had trouble with
his right knee and retired after the
first inning of the final struggle.
Lamar's bat was responsible for the
Yanks downfall in the second game.
He hit a home run in the first inning
and after New York took the lead in
the sixth, crashed q triple with two
on base.
Walberg yielded only five hits in
seven innings when he retired and

CARDIGAN SWITCHES
LINEUP OF RED SOX

BOSTON, June 25-Bill Carrigan
changed his Red Sox lineup for to-
days game. He yanked Cleo Carlyle
and Fred Haney. sending Johnny
Tobin and Bill Rogell into action at
the start of the fray. Ira Flagstead
was kept on the bench by an injury
he suffered Friday. so Walter Shaner
was shifted to center field and Arlie
Tarbert. former Ohio State star. sent
to right.
An odd play brought about Shan
er's retirement after he had singled
through Harris in the fourth inning.
Walter tried to stretch the blow into
a double, but Reeves chased back to
short center to retrieve the sphere,
while Hadley hustled to cover second.
and the Red Sox runner was nipped
by an eyelash.
Goose Goslin had plenty Of trouble
before he got his double III the sixth
inning. AS he swung for first
strike the Goose fell heavily, and
when he arose he limped back to the
plate. After fouling for n second
strike he fell again. When he got
up this time he decided to change
bats. and walked TO the National dug
out to select one instead of calling
on the bat boy He must have picked
a good one. for the two-bagger that
drove over the Nationals first run

Speaker had a good afternoon at
hat, He singled the first two times
up and doubled on his third trip,
Spoke also swiped second In the first
inning McNeely. too. got three hits
in a row after missing in his first two
batting efforts.
RIuege made spectacular stop

the eighth. Ossie went over behind
the pitcher to scoop up the ball and
heaved it to Speaker without coming
up.
Gc.lin found it difficult tn get un-
der lofts to the terrace back Of left

left felders In the contest had no great
trouble.
Back of the pitcher there were no
misjudged balls during the seven in
nings of play and there were no in
juries. 1t was possible for those in
any part of the stands to see the long
fly balls. and at no time did fly bail
go up out of sight.
Only Straight Balls Used.
There was an agreement between
the two teams that the pitchers re-
strict themselves to straight balls. The
curve was abandoned for the night. 1t
was felt that should pitcher mix

pressure on the batter would b. almost
, too great for comfort and for safety.
The pitchers seemed TO be the only
players unable to judge drives. Each

JOHNSON FACES RED SOX
In CONTEST HERE TODAY

BOSTON. June 25-After Sunday
ington, when Walter Johnson will do
the pitching. the Nationals will jump
back here for two more engagements
with the Carrigans, then return to
their home lot for brief sojourn be-
fore a swing through New York and
the Wesl.
Horace Lisenbee and Al Crowder
are likely TO do the hurting for Bucky
Harris bunch in the two contests to
he staged in Fenway Park next week.
Lisenbee contracted troublesome
cold while in Philadelphia, but was
feeling much better today. He did
not accompany his teammates to
Washington as Trainer Mike Martin
believed rest here Sunday was need
ed to get the sterling recruit In fine
form for a tilt with Carrigan's crew
Night Base Ball Success.
Base ball on an artificially lighted
field may he possibility, Sam Rice
thinks, but the veteran outfielder of
the Nationals holds that more devel'
opment of electrical illumination is
necessary to assure the successful
staging of contests at night.
Rice and many others OF the Ma
tionals went to Lynn last night as
guests of the General Electric CO. to
see the first professional base ball
game ever played by electric light.
Sam not only viewed the tilt. one OF
seven innings between the Lynn and
Salem clubs of the New England
League, from various parts Of the
stands, but also stationed himself in
the outfield, where he might observe
actual playing conditions.
In the field the ball always was
visible. Rice declared hut at bat he
believed it must have been somewhat
difficult to observe the sphere. He
could not follow it's path from pitcher
to the plate while he was sitting in
the stand. but had no trouble keep
ing his eye on it when he stood back
of the outer line of defense Rice
thinks that by flooding with light a
considerable space back Of the out
field playing conditions would be
greatly improved.
2,c50.O00 Candlepower.
The actual playing ground was
lirhted brilliantly by II projectors, or
food lights. with total of more than
> 800 900 candlepoWer, and the quality
of base ball which was shown was eyi.
dence sufficient that the fielders with
the exception of the pitchers could see
fairly well thrown and batted balls.
The projectors. six of them. with u
lights each. were mounted on 50-foot
poles as far from the playing field as
the area of the ball park permitted.
The Lynn lark is comparatively small.
and the illumination experts declared
that if The poles could have been 100
feet from fair territory and the pro-
jectors on top of 120-foot poles the
lighting would have been better for
| players and spectators.

beginning July 1S, by President
Green, Secretary Morrison and Vice
Presidents Matthew Woll, James

"The congress will be the largest

yet held, due largely to the state of
international relations the past year, y
said Santiago Iglesias, secretary of
the American. Nations never

"Peru, Bolivia, Panama, Guatemala
and Honduras are endeavoring to SEND
delegates, and Chile, it is said, is pre-
vented by difficulties in that country

from some countries is certain. This
is true Of Cuba and the same may
be true of Nicaragua"

This part of the agreement is still

In northern West Virginia, nom

UNIONS UPHELD
BY U.S.. SENATOR

Minneapolis" know the benefits
of organization because | belong to

work under strictly union conditions" /"
said United States Senator Shipstead
at one of the largest meetings of
trade unionists held in this city.
Senator Shipstead referred to the
anti-union drive which its advocates
insist on calling "open" shop. This
system, the speaker said, has been
heralded as the handmaiden of pros
perity. Instead, he said, it has bought
poverty and business depression, and
the wisest business men now realize
that business prospers as workers
prosper
Senator Shipstead described condi-
tions of the workers in Central Amer
lean countries which he recently vis-
tied. He said these workers told him
how they had pinned their hopes to
this ruler and that ruler to find in
most instances that the professed
saviors assumed dictatorial powers
and proved ruthless exploiters.
"The workers." said Senator Ship
stead, must depend upon themselves,
and their unions have a function to
perform which nothing else can serve
as substitute"

IMMIGRANTS TO

UNEMPLOYMENT

Edmonton, Alberta.-The govern

grants into Canada is opposed by or
ganized labor. The workers insist
that present conditions will be inten-
sifed next winter, when unemploy-
ment is acute.
Business interests are defending the
so-called colonization" system, but
the workers refer to the long lines of
idle and destitute job seekers in
Northwest cities.
The immigrants are not being en-
ployed on farms. They cannot speak
English and they are unacquainted
with modern farm methods. Some Of
them are employed on railroad sec,
tion gangs at low wages, but this is
summer employment.
