lead In midseason, with the pennant
race virtually over by the 1st of Sep
tenber. It is something new for any
team to dominate the National League
scramble. This Is alone SUFFICIENT TO
strengthen support for Joe Mccarthy S
outfit, formidably equipped as it Is with
heavy hitters and . fine. corps OF
pitchers.
In the face of such rivalry it would
be the height of optimism to expect
Connie Mack's Athletics to continue the
rough-shod pace of the Yankees. For
one thing. the Yanks were and still are
as great a money team as base ball
has known IN many moons. The AS
are now q better ball club, but they are
less experienced in the big show than
Ruth g. Co. -...
The AS, in fact, are less seasoned
than the Cubs, so far as world Sc
ries experience goes. for Hornsby.
Cuyler and Wilson all have figured
In championship conflict. Hornsby
managed the last club to beat the
Yankees In the world series, while
Cuyler's winning hit of Walter john
son In 1925 made him the hero Of
the Pirate conquest that year. The
only Mackman with any real series
experience is Eddie Collins, but Ed
die Is no longer an active combat
ant. Old Jack Quinn pitched four
innings for the Yankees in the 1921
series.
The AS and Cubs both have plenty
Of heavy artillery. Sluggers like Fox,
Cochrane, Simmons, Hornsby. Wilson,
Stephenson and Cuyler will rattle the
boards In any park on the slightest
provocation. Behind the bat Cochrane
should. give the AS an edge. On the
other hand, the two southpaw stars of
the Mack moundsmen, Grove and WAL
berg, face tough lineup Of right
handed Cub clouters.
This is only the start Of an argument
that will be tossed back and forth dur
ing the next few weeks. It will be Just

on Michigan boulevard or Broad street.
COMETHfNG should be said for the
Cleveland Indians, whose fine play
since the middle of the American League
season, involving leap to third place,
is one of the big surprises Of the year.
Billy Evans and Roger Peckinpaugh

chased home on successive Sacr1fce
hoists by Cronin and Hayes. The Ma
tionals got after Faber again in the
seventh for a third marker. Hayes
singled with one out and checked in at
the far corner when Barnes picked up
Thomas bat and singled. Judges loft
to Metzler was deep enough to enable
Hayes to tally after the catch.
Get Goslin OF Second.
It looked as though the home side
might do something in the eighth when
Goslin, first up, laced double OF Lyons.
But the Goose was picked of second by
Berg, who made fine throw to Cissell
while Myer was at bat. Lyons easily
disposed of Myer and West. In the
ninth Cronin singled with one gone, only
were two on when Lyons. covering first,
dropped a throw from Shires and gave
Pinch Batter Boss a life. Judge, how
ever, could do nothing more than loft
to Kerr.
Kamm was charged with an error in
the seventh inning when he muffed a
foul Rice had put up. But when Rice
fouled again Willie froZe to the sphere.
Goslin and Thomas were the only
Nationals to help their batting averages
to any extent. The Goose, with single
and q double, had a .667, day, and
Thomas srnote single 10 show 500 for
the fray.
Kerr was busy second baseman for
the White Sox. He raced over a deal of
territory to take care of eight chances.
Garland Braxton underwent an opera
ton yesterday to reduce the lump on his
left leg that developed after he was hit
by a batted ball 10 days ago. Some
bruised blood was drained from the lump
and as there were no signs of infection
the southpaw slabman is expected to be
on the job again in q few days.

CANADA,s ECONOMIC FREEDOM
Duluth Herald

There has long been a latent fear among Canadians
that their country was likely to be absorbed in an eco
nonic sense by its powerful neighbor, the United States.
Inis thought, unpleasant to Canadians in general. never
mad q foundation In reality. The fact is that any capa-
ne people owning and occupying a reasonable part Of
the earths surface and being fairly self sustaining, can
not be economically absorbed.
The Scandinavian states have not been absorbed. Hol-
lana seems to hold her own against Germany. and Bel
GUM has not been absorbed by France. Switzerland
STANDS erect surrounded by much stronger powers. The
matter goes with the will of the lesser power.
But Canada does not need to rest on the apparent gen.
eral rule. Specific facts lately in the news show that
Canada is becoming more and more self supporting. more
and more economically independent. as she is politically,
each passing year. Americans have over three billion
dollars invested In Canada while Canadians have almost
q billion invested here. The total Of British and Cana
dian dollars Invested In Canadian enterprises is five and
threc-ouarters billions. OF this great sum three and one
half billions is Canadian money invested by the home
folks.
This Is 4 fine showing for Canadians, and when it is
considered that the constant trend Is to the increase Of
Canadian control Of Canadian business. Canadians have
no reason 70 be alarmed at economic conquest from out
Sde.. Canadians may note that New York has not eco
nomically submerged Ohio. Illinois does not dominate
Indiana. and Texas seems to hold her own against Cali
fornia and Pennsylvania.

AMERICAN PRAISE FOR MUssOLINI
philadelphia Bulletin)

In the exchange Of courtesies between Ambassador
fletcher and Mussolini as the ambassador gives up his
Italian mission there Is a note Of cordially lifting them
above the ordinary level Of diplomatic amenities.
particularly striking is Mr.. Fetcher's tribute to the yis-
iole effects on the country Of Mussolini leadership. 1t
would be outside Of the ambassadors province to pass on
the merits Of Fascism as q system Of political philosophy.
But ne does feel called upon to testify to the interest and
sympathy with which he has followed the steady progress
ana orderly development of the Mussolini plans for the
renovation and transformation Of the country and to
place it on record that he himself has cndeavored to help
the American government and people to understand the
revolution and evolution which have taken place in
Italy under the duces leadership.
Revolution and evolution. That Is the history of Italy
ana IN the nearly seven years that have elapsed in Italy
since the famous march on Rome. Mussolini has used
the power that leadership in a successful revolution gave
MIN to effect q singular transformation in the mind and
soul as well as the political system Of his country. The
admiration which close contact with the effects Of his
leadership evokes In so sound an American as Mr..
f1etcher cannot be ignored in any impartial outside at
tempt to evaluate the unique Fascist attempt to give a
great modern state 9 new orientation.
