The much-quoted law Of
averages absorbed a terrific
kick III the pants when not a.
single one Of the eight double
headers scheduled for the big
league teams on Memorial Day
resulted in an even break.
The Reds. Cardinals. Braves. Ath.
letics. Browns and Tigers each won
two games, while the New York
Giants and Washington Griffs made
hay while the sun shone for one
game only. Seventy thousand fans
incurred as the Cubs lost twice TO
Cincinnati, s to 0. and 2 to 1, and
dropped to fourth place. Rixey and
Kolp outpitched Root and Malone.
The Cardinals nicked the Pirates
twice, to 3, and 10 to /. stretch.
ing Pittsburgh's losing streak to
six games. The Cards haven't been
trimmed by the BUGS all season.
The Giants jumped to second
place, IA games behind Gin.
cinattf, by Strengthening Brook
Iyn again. 8 to /. Faulkner was
there like duck i'm the pinches.
Rain halted the second game i'm
the seventh with the score tied
mt 2.2.
Rogers Hornsby smacked two
home runs as the Boston Braves
scorched the Phillies to the tunes
OF IL to and to 8. George
Sisler got three hits and stole two
bases. The Pills percentage Is
now down to .1S9 and is rapidly
approaching infinity.
The recent winning streak of the
Red Sox was rewarded when 36, 900
fans, the biggest Fenway Park
crowd in years, turned out to watch
the Bostonese perform. They were
sadly disillusioned when the Car.
rigan clan was beaten twice by the
veterans of the Athletics pitching
staff, Ehmke and Quinn. The scores
were 8 to ! and to 2.
The As now trail the Yankees
by only seven games, IL that means
anything.
Dan HOwley's Browns took
both ends Of q twin bill from
the White SOx, 8 to / and 5 to 2.
Two st. Louis rockies. Ogden
and CrOWdef had the edge ON
Faber and Thomas. The Browns
have won four straight.
Detroit regained sixth place by
taking two close ones from Cleveland,

BYRD Tribute
TO BENNET
AIR THRILL

More or less success attended
radio tuning efforts during the
Early evening hours although
there were an sorts Of noises In
mi sections Of the broadcast band.
The Midwest again seemed to be
sunk considerably below the sur.
face and neither power or patience
would dig it out. The North YVES
better and the South only
slightly 80.
OF ali the various Memorial Day
talks, music and other things that
came through loud speakers during
fhp holiday period the thrill that re-
mains and stu stirs the pulses Of
the listener wis the raightforward
tribute paid the late Floyd Bennett
by Commander Richard Byrd dur
iTlg the American Magazine pro.
gram from WRC.
Comnnander Byrd WAS introduced
to tell 81 his arctic explorations
he told Of them. But he told Ot
them as the achievements Of the
man he called . perfect comrade. g
tr1Ie friend and the finest human
character he had ever encountered.
THE perile Of arctic flying were
ylvidly set forth-but always they
were presented az obstacles Bennett
had overcome with almost super.
human skill. endurance and forti-
tude. The Byrd tribute to his de-
parted comrade WAS one Of the
finest bit Of memorial oratory one
may ever expect to hear.

Among the weller. Of things that
flowed swiftly along the air ways

the motor race from indianapolis.
Therefore the evening programs
were pleasantly quiet and soothing.

GROWERS HEREFOR AL SMITH

The attempt upon the part OF
early Irish potato growers IN
the Carolinas and Virginia to
improve the quality of their
pack and better regulate the
Quantity and distribution OF
shipments has been largely sue
cessful to date; but the main
objective of the cooperators, to
stabilize markets and obtain a
fair price for potatoes is meet
ing with failure. The city buy
ers take the attitude that the
growers must sell their stuff at
any price and are holding OFT.
To June II. 1927 North Carolina
put 3.032 barrels Of potatoes on the
New York market: to June .. 1923
North Carolina had put only l.2SS
barrels of new potatoes i'll New
York. And yet potatoes are selling
for half what they sold for last
year.
Elizabeth City put an average OF
$50 cars Of potatoes on the New
York Market for the first week i'll
June Of last year and the average
price was $500 IL barrel. For the
first week in June of this year El1z-
abeth City put an average OF only
GJ barrels day Oh the New YORK
market and received an average 0f
only &.25 for them. The buying
mower of New York has not decreas-
ed in year. And New York had
fewer potatoes from all points this
wear than it received last year.
The first weekly summary OF car
lot shipments issued by the govern
ment market reviewers yesterday
showed a total of 1902 cars OF
potat,es received at New York u
June 8 of this year against 2o,S4d
cars received at New York to June
