THE NORTHWEST'S PROTEST
(St. Paul Pioneer Press, June 81

The action of several hundred civic
organizations, farm groups and indi-
viduals who joined under the leader
ship of the Minneapolis Tribune in a
telegram of protest to Senator SmCot,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, unquestionably expresses the
opinion of Minnesota and the north
west on the tariff bill which the house
of representatives, in violation of
every promise made the farmer during
the campaign, has written.
The bill is a betrayal of the Repub-
lican party's pledge to place agricul-
tural protection on parity with in
dustrial protection because, while
raising some tariffs on farm crops, it
would take almost as much out of
the farmers pocket as it puts in.
The bill increases the rates on a few
farm products, but it raises even more
the protection on nearly a thousand
kinds of manufactured goods. This is

Acceptance Aids Reparations Pact.

Paris-Germany and her creditor
experts have agreed on the question
of lifting the lien on the German rail-
ways and on several other German
conditions to acceptance of the Young
plan. 1t was definitely decided also
that the question Of the reimburse
ment of Belgium for German wartime
marks shall be eliminated from the
experts report, leaving the two gov
ernments to negotiate their differ
ences. The U. S. government will be
the only creditor country to emerge
from the reparations conference with
out real cut in her reparation claims
and the only creditor country destined
to receive payments on account of re-
parations, properly so-called, for a
period of more than 81 years.

UNJUST TARIFF

Vital legislation affecting the entire
country is being enacted in Washing
ton these days and therefore it be-
,hooves all of us to be alert to our
interests and let the lawmakers hear
from home. In this connection the
American has drawn up a petition to
be sent to the United States senate
protesting against the Hawley tariff
bill just passed by the lower>house
and asking alteration by the senate
changes that will give help and en-
couragement to agriculture and the
northwest and carry out the promises
made in the last campaign. In other
words, square deal for agriculture.
There are differences of opinions on
tariff Some are for it and others
argue that we should have none of it,
The Republican party has stood out
for tariff while the Democrats are
largely against it. But that is not
the question now as we will have a
tariff bill with the Republicans in
the majority, so whether for or
against it, the thing to do now is
IT,.
tariff on agricultural products
which the farmer sells-will not help
if what he must buy gets even greater
protection. President Hoover said, Il
have called this special session of
congress to redeem two pledges given
in the last election-farm relief and
limited changes in the tariff
So far the changes in the tariff
have not been very limited and if
the senate does not make great
changes in the Hawley bill the farm
ers will not get what was promised
The present bill is a long ways from
getting agriculture on parity with
industry.
Six of Minnesota's ten congressman
are to be commended for taking the
stand of opposing the Hawley bill. In
cluded in that group is our own con-
gresham, Godfrey g. Goodwin of
Cambridge. Our two senators, Hen
rik Shipstead and Thomas d. Schall,
will undoubtedly also do the right
thing and work for better deal
for the northwest. But let them all
hear from home. 1t spurs those on
who are right and makes the others
think. When they know what we are
asking for it is no more than just
and what was promised and we do
ASK they give it more serious con-
sideration. America is big country
and the industrial east is much closer
to Washington. Therefore let us make
the appeal spontaneous. The Mime
apolis Tribune has done a wonderful
work in big way in letting congress
hear from home. But such work can
also and should be carried out in
smaller districts-the counties and
congressional districts. The Amer
lean will be glad to receive signers
to the petition on the front page of
this issue from folks over the county
and the district Send in your name
and it will be published with others
and sent to Washington. Expressions
of opinions will also gladly be re-
ceived by the American
Agriculture has not been on the
best footing since the World War,
politicians have hollered farm relief
and campaigned on that measure.
there has been pussy-footing and
side-stepping and now is a good time
to get down to brass lacks Let the
voice from home ring out.

The business of eleVating eye brows took brisk upturn about ten years ago when Yale announced that a professional ball player had been hired to coach the team.
 That player was Smoky Joe Wood. hero of the 1913 world series when his fast ball helped the Boston Red Sox into a world championship. He was the first of the tobacco hewing element to make his way into one of the hoity-toity schools. Ever since Smoky Joe came to Yale, profession- al players as coaches have been gaining in favor. Prof. Phelps O. Yale even went so far as 10 have Puncher Tunney tell a few things about left hooks and Shakespeare to his English class.
 Joe has won respect that is na- tion- wide because he has been turn ing out smart teams at Eli and de- veloping splendid ball players. Yol don't hear much about Joe's players. because not many of the Yale men go into professional baseball after they have ended their college ca reers. Bruce Caldwell, farmed by

 IN B|G LEAGUES
Keen Struggle Is On for Leader
 ship in Both Circuits

New York, July 23 (UP)-A keen struggle is in progress for the bat ting leadership in the two major leagues, with two percentage points separating the two National league pace-setters and bare point be- tween the two American league leaders.
 The last of the ,400 hitters have disappeared and Babe Herman, Brooklyn outfielder, who leads the National league with 1895, is also the major league leader. Two points be- hind Herman comes Frank (Lefty) O'Doul. John J. McGraw's discard who is playing in the Phillies' out field.
 Heinie Manush, St Louis Browns outtielder who lost the American league batting crown to Goose Cos lin by lone point last season. is leading the American league with a .3S7 mark-one point ahead of Jim my Foxx, Philadelphia Athletics first baseman.
 After hitting above 400 for the first half of the season. FoXx has fallen into slight slump and is down to .3S6.
 A year ago Rogers Hornsby was leading the National league hitters with an average of .392. while Goose Gosln was leading the American league hitters with an average of .396. Both won the batting cham pionships Of their respective leagues.
 An interesting sidelight on the duel for National league batting honors is a training camp conversa- tion between Herman and O'Doul which took place just before Brook lyn started north.
 Herman told O'Doul that he was going out 10 win the National league batting laurel this year.
 Well. you'll have to hit more than 400 10 do it as I'm going after that same prize myself" O'Doul re- piled.
 If that's what it takes 10 win the hattlnS cnamplOnShlp. l can do that, too" Herman answered. Their conversation wouldn't hold much water in the spring. but the end of July finds these players doing their talking with base hits and making their words ring true. In the modern history of baseball only four men have ever batted 400 or better. They are Rogers Hornsby in the National league and Ty Cobb. Harry Heilmann and George Sisler of the American league Hornsby has batted over 400 on three occasions-1922, 1924 and 1926. Cobb hatted over 400 in 1911 and 1912, Sisler topped the mark in 1920 and 1922 and Heilmann hung up .403 in 1923.

|PHANT0MS AGAIN
 LOSE IN LEAGUE
Champions Bow to Fighting Se-
 Quin Crew in Junior Loop
Standing

For the second time in as many playing days, the Phantoms base ball team bowed in defeat in the Junior City League when the Se- quins. led by the dauntless Lefty Folden outplayed and outhit the champions to win by the score Of 10 f. Had the Sequins played heady baseball in the early innings. their margin of victory might have been larger.
 Lefty" Cohen essayed to tame the Sequins after pitching Saturday in the Phantoms' first loss. He was in excellent form but his teammates were not with him. He allowed scant eight hits, famed nine and walked none, but six very bad er TOTS behind him, accounted for cost ly runs.
 Al Schubert with home run in the third inning, scoring R. Folden ahead of him, turned the tide of battle and gave the Sequins their first scores. The Phantoms had landed one across the plate in the first frame and had added two in the second.
 The Sequins tied it up in the fourth when Fink singled, stole second and scored on two infield outs. In the sixth, after Bradbury | had got on first on Cohen's error, Fink lined a hard single into center and Baldesari let it so through his legs both men scoring. This gave the Sequins the edge that they need ed but despite it. they put the game on ice again in the eighth by counting twice more.
 The losers scored one in the sev- enth but that was all that they could do toward tying the score or getting into the lead.
 The Folden brothers were mucb | in evidence during the game al | though the palm must go to Lefty" l the southpaw pitcher who was in- vincible in the pinches. He famed nine men and allowed the champs only five hits. He also pounded out two hits himself and drove in a run.
 Levine and O'Brien turned in the | fielding features for the losers with one handed stabs of line drives over first and third. Grammitt turned in the gem for the winners with a leaping catch of a sure-fire hit over second. Fink also cut off scores with running catches in center field. Fink and J. Folden were the hit 1 ting kids for the winners while | Truman and Levine each got two l hits for the losers. The summary: | Pick up box score Sequins

 r Thanks to the cratic Brooklyn Dodgers, the rowing Pirates of Pitts -burgh have added another half game to their slender lead over the Chicago Cubs in the gruelling Ma .tional league pennant struggle. ~- While all other major league clubs were idle yesterday. the Pirates shelled three Dodger pitchers for 16 .lusty hits and coasted in with a 13 to 3 victory.
 Thus the Bush-men boosted their lead over the Cubs to a game and a half, all in the games-won column. a slender enough advantage but better than none at all,
 -a The game preserved surface indi- cations of a real contest for only three innings, the Pirates got two runs in the first and drove Austin Moore out of the box with two more in the second while the Dodgers con- tented themselves with single runs in the second and third innings to bring the score 10 A. against them at the end of the third.
 Clise Dudley had stopped the Pi- rate rally in the second and blanked them in the third but he was rudely assaulted in the fourth. Three singles and a double intersperscd with two walks. two sacrifices and two Brook -iyn errors gave the Corsairs seven runs and to all intents and purposes the old ball game as well.
 Dudley staggered around in nearly every inning but kept the Pirates from the home plate until the Sth. Paul Waner started this frame with home run into the right field stands, his third hit of the game. Clark, the Pirates rookie third base man, promptly tripled to left field and Dudley was relieved by Win Bal lou. Clark scored on an infeld out but Ballou then retired the side.
 Erwin Brame, who had pitched steady ball all the way. eased up in the ninth and a double and two singles gave the Dodgers their final tally before Hermans pop fly ended the game.
 All other National league clubs had open dates as did all American league teams but Cleveland and Philadelphia whose game was rained

 Paradise Park 18, Willow Brook 8
 The Paradise Park Willow Brook clash had all indications of being closely contested affair but the Par adise Park team went in a rampage in the fifth inning and from then on the contest became rout.
 The teams battled on even terms for the first four frames and at the end of this time the score was dead locked at two all. Paradise Park was the first to score pushing across lone tally in the opening inning on hit and an error.
 The losers evened matters in the last half of this session when they counted on a single hit. There was no further scoring until the openmg of the fourth when F.. Coyle doubled into centertield to score WoJack, "ho had singled. Griffin's long home run into right field knotted the count gain in the last half of the fourth. ] The storm broke in the following inning when the Willow Brook out fits defense collap psed and six Para disc runs sfted across. Murray, who started on the mound for the win ners. was lifted in favor Of Helnz- man in the last half of the fourth inning and the latter was touched for a pair of talies in the fifth.
 The winners continued their rally in the sixth and added two more runs to their total but the losers came back to tally once.

 BY ANOTHER MAN
Frederick KirSCh Seeks to Get
 Two Per Cent Of Earnings

New York. July g, tP>-The fstic subdivision known as Max Schmel- ing had one more worry on his hands today. Already over his head in legal entanglements, the German heavyweight discovered that some one else had brought suit for q portion of Herr Maxs ring earn lngs in the United States The chances are that Max won't worry oVer-much on the theory that one more suit among so many hardly matters.
 The latest claim on Schmeling's purse came in the form of suit, brought by one Frederick kirsch asking for two per cent of Max's earnings. kirsch, a Quondam friend of Schmeling and Arthur Buelow, the boxers repudiated manager, filed an order signed by Supreme Court Justice William Black, re- quiring the Madison Square Garden corporation and Charlie Rose, an- other of Schmeling's many man. agers, to show cause today why a receiver should not be appointed to take over two per cent of the box CTS earnings in his victory over Pauline UzCudun.
 kirsch said he had introduced Schmeling and Buelow to Rose and that Buelow had assigned 10 per cent of Schmeling's earnings to Rose who, in turn, gave per cent of this 10 Kirsch.
 All was serene until Joe Jacobs, now Schmeling's manager of choice. entered the scene. Jacobs acquired a 3 1-c per cent interest in Schmel- ing from Buelow and per cent from Rose. Possibly because the mathematical problem was a diff cult one, nobody has seen to it that kirsch got his two per cent, the plaintiff asserted.

 Nathan Hale 9-Smith 6
 In a fast and thrilling battle on Diamond No. 2, the Nathan Hale team came through to take the measure of the Smith crew by the score of to 6. The winners got out in front in the first three innings and were never headed after that, although the Smith team threatened all the time.
 After a scoreless first inning, Ma than Hale, through four walks and some very bad misplays, scored three times. The team didn't get a single hit in the frame but the run ners trotted wildly around whenever they got on. In the third frame, they scored another trio of counters, giving them a sizeable lead. An other error in this frame and two hits accounted for the markers.
 Smith started in the third when brace of runs was scored on two singles, sacrifice and an error III center field. The team, however, couldn't get man across the plate again until the seventh while the Nathan Hale contingent scored all additional run In the sixth.
 In the seventh, Smith staged a rally netting the team two runs but the necessary hits were lacking when it came to bringing stranded men in to home.
 Both teams scored twice in the final frame and the score relative ly remained the same,
