TEAR OF wins
OVER LEADERS
Defeat Brooklyn FL;
Ruth's 40tl Fails to
Stave Off Drubbing
From Rec C0x
BY HERBERT w. BARKER
Associated Press Sports Writer

The Pirates of Pittsburgh, unwont-
eddy innocuous all year, have set sail
on a Corsair cruise that threatens TO
disturb the equanimity of all Of the
National leagues assorted list of
Pennant ~contenders, actual and al
legged.
A 2 to / victory over the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the leagues only game
Monday put the Pirates only five
percentage points back Of the
Dodgers who are at the top Of the
second division. Fred Russell, young
Corsair southpaw, and Doug Nc
Weeney, most effective of Uncle
Robbie's pitchers in recent weeks,
hooked up in a hurting duel that went
FusselIs way only because the
Dodgers and McWeeney elected to get
all the bad baseball out of their sys-
TEN in the sixth. In that frame, an
error by Harvey Hendrick, a mis-
judged fly ball by Babe Herman, a
balk by McWeeny and G~rantham's
single gave the Corssirs two runs and
the game. Bessler's double and Ban
croft's single gave the Robins their
only tally in the second inning.
Babe Ruth's fortieth home of the
season failed TO have the Yankees
from a decisive defeat at the hands
of the Boston Red Sox 10 TO 3. Danny
Macfayden, young bespectacled right
handler, was strong in the pinches
and the Red Sox coasted in to an easy
triumph. The Babes drive put him
% games, 80 days and ten homers
ahead Of his record-breaking pace Of
1927.
The Yankees retained their lead on
the American league field, however,
for the Athletics were 9lanked by
Milt CASTOR and the Washington SEN
ators, 5 to o. 1t was the As first de-
fest in eight starts.
George B%laeholder pitched the St.
Louis Browns to a 10 to 0 victory
over the docile Indians Of Cleveland
hurlers and took occasion at the same
time TO equal the major league rec
ord for sacrifices. The Browns COM
mitted the suicide act eight times
during the game, a mark held BY sew
eral major league clubs in past years
but never bettered.

BLOCKERS Give
MILLINERS $1,000
Redeem Pledge to Help.
Fight Union Wreckers

The latest development in the strug-
gle for existence of the Millinery
Hand Workers Union Local 43 against
the officialdom of the International
Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery Work
ers Union shows that the members
of that militant local are receiving the
wholehearted support of growing
section of the general organization.
At joint meeting of the executive
boards of the Blockers Local AZ, and
Local 43, several decisions were made
which spell doom to attempts of Pres
ident Zaritsky and his cohorts to de-
stroy the milliners organization.
Vital Decisions
The most important of these deci-
sions was the one deciding that the
boards of both locals AZ and 43 meet
jointly in conducting the struggle
against Zaritsky. 1t was also decided
that the office stats of both locals
function together on questions of in
ter-local relations.
In redemption of the promise ten
dered by the Blockers Local AZ to the
fighting local 43, that moral and fl
nancial aid will be gwen in their fight
to maintain the union, the executive
board of the blockers union yesterday
presented to the Local 43 executive
board a check of $1,000.
AS has been practice among the
millinery workers, large picket lines
turned out to patrol the shops which
tried to assist Zaritsky by ordering
their girls to disavow their member
ship in Local 43, and locking them out
when they refused. The faithful Ito
the bosses and Zaritsky) police were
also there zen Masses" No arrests
were reported, however, at late
hour yesterday.

FIGHTING
IN CROATIAN CITY
Troops Kill 4, Wound
43 in Fighting

VIENNA, June %. - Street fight
ing, with the erection of barricades,
followed the attempt of the enraged
crowds to storm the Italian consulate
at Zagreb yesterday as result of the
shooting of Stefan Raditch by a gov
eminent deputy, dispatches from Bel
grade report.
A violent outbreak of political fight
ing in which four persons were killed
and 43 seriously wounded occurred at
Zagreb. The outbreak resulted after
the assassination Of two Croatian
peasant deputies in parliament at Bel
grade on Wednesday,, Paul Raditch
and George Rasaritch.
The bodies Of the slain deputies ar
rived at Agram this morning and
were received by huge crowd, said
dispatch from Belgrade. The bur-
ial will take place on Saturday.
The Croatian (opposition) newspa-
per Noosti, published at Agram,
charges that the .assassinations "re-
suited from the plotting of a corrupt
clique at Belgrade who sought to do
away with the strongest leaders of
the campaign for political indepen-
dence for the Croatians."
This newspaper demands that sep
arate and independent states be Gre

questions than Coolidge.

that it is still open-minded and awaits
