A Distinguished but Quiet Guest.
(New York Times.)

When the Berengaria arrived at Southampton Mir Winston Churchill disembarked. Careless Am ercan newspaper readers may thus have had their first notice that he had been in this country so unobserved While MT. Macdonald and President Hoover at Washington in the spotlight of the world MT Churchill who loomed in vast affairs years before either of them did, was inconspicuous in New York He spent almost month here and wandered unregarded throughout the town.
 The few who MT. Churchill report that he had a fine time doing" New York as tourist. He rode in the subway ard the elevated: he tried the surface lines he watched the play of Fifth Avenue traffic in late afternoon and the stream of humanity in Broadway at night He gaped at the electric signs, found out what speakeasy looks like, gave innocuius interviews to the few report who troubled him, did the business that brought him here-and went quietly home. If MT. Asquith were still alive it would be difficult to convince him that Winston ever behaved anywhere in that way

LOBBY WAR;

Representative John c. Schafer
OF wisconsin win turn his guns on
washington lobbyists during the
present session Of Congress, he de-
clared todav.
Schafer has introduced a drastic
bill for the regulation of persons
who attempt to procure the passage
or defeat of bills before Congress,
and soon will follow this up with
an attack on lobbying methods on
the floor of the House.
His bill, one of several which
have been introduced during the
past few sessions for the registra-
tion and regulation of legislative
counselS and agents. Is unique In
that 1t carries a proviso forbidding
former members of Congress en-
gagged in lobby work from going
upon the floor or into the cloak
rooms of either branch of Congress.
AT the present time, this cour.
tesy, extended to former members
of both Houses, is being abused,
Schafer declared. 'The privilege
of the floor-which includes the
cloakrooms-is a courtesy which
should be extended to former mem.
bers, but not while they are acting
in the interests of legislation.
The Schafer bill carries penalty
of $1,000 or one year In prison. or
both, for violation OF the provisions

The pressure on Chicago banks

MOSS FINALLY FINISHES
 GAME IN MAJOR LEAGUES
Brooklyn Right Hander Ends Apprenticeship Started in 1926-Scores 10 to Triumph Over Reds-Cubs Trounce Philes Crippled Pirates Lose to Braves Giants Swamp St. Louis Cardinals - White SoX Defeat Athletics in American Loop.
By the Associated Press.

Ray Moss, right handed pitcher for the Brooklyn Nationals, finally has completed a major league ap- premiership begun in the spring of 1928.
 Moss 10 to triumph over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday marked the first complete victorious game he ever has pitched in the majors, and, incidentally, it was only the second game he ever started and finished.
 Moss came up to Brooklyn from Memphis in 1926 to pitch one inning for the Dodgers that season. In 1927 he pitched part of one game and received credit for winning il. Last year he appeared in % games, one of them complete, and wound up with record of no victories and three defeats. During the current campaign he has worked in many games, received credit for several victories. but never before succeed ed in pitching a complete game.
 He gave the Reds only eight scat tered safeties while the Robins were pounding Red Lucas and Rube Ehrhardt for :, four of them by the illustrious Babe Herman. The Robins pounded Lucas for four runs in the first inning and talied four more before he went 10 the showers in the sixth
 Chief interest in the National league struggle centered in Chicago where the Cubs, by trouncing the Phillies, T. to 10, increased their lead over Pittsburgh to three and half games. Hack Wilson's 2Sth homer with Heathcote on base in the eighth was the decisive blow of the game. Previously Hornsby had cracked out his 22nd and Heathcote also hit for the circuit. Don Hurst's 18th and goth homers Of the year kept the Phils in the running
 The crippled Pirates lost another game to the Boston Braves, 10 to 9. Trailing by 9-7 at the end of the eighth the Braves assaulted Henry Meine and Fred Russell for four runs and the old ball game. L. Waner's homer with one on had given the Pirate q lead in the eighth Rabbit Maranville showed no signs Of old age in cracking out five hits in as many tim at bat.
 The New York Giants crashed out 17 hits off the delivery of various and sundry pitchers to swamp the St. Louis Cardinals T. to ?. Given T big lead, Larry Benton coasted in to an easy victory. Mel Ott hit his 28th homer and Bill Terry his 9th.
 Action in the American league was confined 10 the Chicago White Sox to triumph over the Philadelphia Athletics, thereby reducing the white elephants lead over the idle New York Yankees to nine and one half games. The "ox cuffed George Ecrnshaw around for six runs in 5 1-3 inning and then tallied two more off old Jack ,luinn in the ninth. A four run Athletic rally in the ninth fell short of tying the score by two runs. Urban Faber held the A's to three hits in five in nlngs but had to retire because of the intense heat.

BOXERS WORKING
 HARD FOR BOUT
CanZoneri and Mandell Training
 for Clash on Friday Night

Chicago, July 30 Pl-A massive right hand, propelled by muscsles of steel. shot out like flash and crashed against a sand bag.
 It was Tony Canzoneri's reply to the question of how he expected to topple Sammy Mandell from his lightweight throne in the Chicago Stadium arena Friday night.
 That smash has beaten lot of good men and that smash is going to beat Mandell and make me what I always wanted to be-the light weight champion of the world" the mighty little fighting dynamo from New York supplemented.
 The so-called wise fellows say am not fast or heavy enough for the champ, but when I land few of those smacks Mandell isn't go- ing to have so much speed and I'll nail him with some more. I never felt so good and so sure of winning
 as I do now. I'll enter the ring at 133 pounds-the same weight that Dtll1y l-tOlldTu dllu tHe beSl OI | lightweights fought when they were
 at their peak-and I have plenty of speed myself, don't forget that.'
 Not in the four years he has been fighting his way to the top in light CT divisions has Chesty Tony look = ed better He trains long and hard every day and Trainer Lew Fink
 may force him to all but curtail his activities three days before the 10 round battle.
 "Over- training is the only thing i I am worrying about right now" Fink, who used to watch over the training grind of Gene Tunney, said, Tony is ready for the match to- day and if we can only keep him tanned a little bit from now on, he is going to give the champion the battle of his life.'
 Mandell put lot of action into | his workout yesterday. He boxed 1 four rounds. two with Solly Schu-
 man, fast bantamweight, and an- other pair with Jack Kane, a rough 1 lightweight. Two rounds of rope
 skipping and two more of seeking
 the big bag completed his day.
