FOCUSED
On INDIANS

Baseball's glaring eyes, already
red-rimmed and burning from
watching two feverish races, cen
tered today on Cleveland to de-
termine if the Indians league
leading aspirations have reached
congealing stage. All the Cleve-
land boys have to do today to
topple the Philadelphia Athletics
from the column cap is defeat the
New York Yankees, themselves
considerably cocky because they
have won eight Of their last IL
skirmiSheS.
The AS logged down yes
terday as they submitted to
Detroit, 9 to 8, the Tigers gal
looping from the rear to win
after johnson got two hOmerS
and Alexander circuited with
two on i'm the fifth.
Brooklyn took a more comfort
able margin in the National
League scramble, humbling the
Cardinals 5 to 3 as Babe Har-
man recovered from his long bat
ting slump and Babe Phelps
proffered a mess of smart pitch
ing.
The Giants got five homers,
but Charlie Grimm, of the Cubs,
was smarter than the enemy and
chose to produce the lone circuit
blast of the Bruins in the ninth
with the score tied, two out and
the bags begged. Charles fore
sight enabled the Cubs to take it.
8 to S.
Chuck Klein got q homer
and three other bingles in one
of those ultra modern slug
festings, which the PhillieS
.cOpped from the Pirates, Is
to IA. There were 38 base
hits in the encounter.
The once great Burleigh Grimes
blew. up like q match factory and
Cunningham did not do much
better, so the Reds lowered the
Braves, II to l. Berger homered
off Benny Frey for Boston's lone
tally.
Two wild pitches in the seventh,
coupled with two walks, q single
by NarleSky and divers double,
blasted Ted Lyons hopes for his
tenth victory of the season. The
Red Sox put over three runs in
the inning and grabbed the game,
6 to 8.

Bill Killefer'S men registered twice
and forged ahead.
Then it was that Muddy Ruel's
triple, with two on. decided the
issue for once and all. Bump
Hadley, the Washington clubs
starting selection, was laced from
the peak, and Lloyd Brown re-
ceived credit for the victory.
Garland Braxton pitched to the
last Brownie batSman.
Lefthanded Walter Stewart was
knocked from the box early.
After Chad Kimsey had been
charged with the loss, Sam Gray

BY JOE HOLMAN

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE un.
expected shifting OF. Pitcher Gar
land Braxton and Catcher Benny
Tate to the Chicago White Sox
in exchange for First Baseman
Art Shtres, created much discus
sion here today,
Out of an interview with Man
ager Walter johnson this morn
ing, the following information
was gained:
/. Either Lloyd Brown or Fred
Marberry will succeed Braxton as
the Washington's clubs relief
pitched. Brown holds the inside
track.
2. Roy Spencer is fixture for
first call behind the bat. Muddy
Ruel is to second him while
Coach Patsy Charity will back
them both up while serving in a
third string capacity.
8. Shires will perform as
an underStudy for Joe Judge.
He is to join the Washing
ton club in the Capital
Wednesday night. And will
probably make his bow on
first base against the Chicago
White SOx Thursday.
4. Tate and Braxton will depart
en- route for Washington tonight.
g. There they are to join the Pale
Hose in a four game invasion of
American League park. Says
johnson.
eff things work out as
think they will, Brownie will
get q real shot to make good
as q finishing pitcher. "I'm
still pulling for Fred to 60
the nine innings. Lloyd's as
tough as they make 'em.
Some Of the others may fill
in from time to time. But,
if things work out as
think they will, Brown should
80 over in a big way"
Charity, obviously, has been
overlooked. Although nearly 40,
Patsy has taken good care of him
self. And he will be ready to
work whenever called upon.
A charleyhorse in Judges left
leg. which has been aggravated
by the latter's anxiety to get
back into action, is expected 10
postpone his return another week.
Ad Liska, prize Washington
club submarine ball specialist,
will go to the firing line against
Rip Collins when the Griffmen
and Browns collide in the final
game of their series today.
The Washington club, to
date has won five games from

dropping six. A verdict to-
day would even up the cur

Is that any one can procure firearms. Your
gangsters are well equipped with pistols, auto
mates and even bombs. In England no one
is permitted to have firearms and even our
police are unarmed. One doesn't see gun-slot-
ted armored cars on our Streets We transfer
our money without placing it behind steel
armor.
Another thing that makes your gangsters
brazen is the fact that they can get reputable
people to help them when they are in trouble.
This condition has been brought about by your
many 'grandmotherly' laws which try to make
people moral and sober. As a result of these
impossible laws you have reputable people as
sisting in breaking them down. They are,
therefore, encouraging and contributing to the
situation which you find so appalling.
T isn't the gangsters cleverness that is
helping him to get away with his crimes.
II he had to rely entirely his own resources
he would not get very far. It's the support
that he receives which makes him powerful.
With the writer's giving him a romantic posi-
tion he Is filled with conceit that breeds the
belief he can outwit other men. Destroy his
romantic status by humiliating him, treat him
as he should be treated and let your reputable
people deprive him of support, and you will kill
all his tricks
IT believe that as long as America has so
many grandmotherly' laws, though, she will
have a crime problem her hands. The first
essential of any law is that the backbone of
the country be behind it, When few people
feel any obligation to observe the law, it Is
bound to bring corruption in its wake. And
that's like . cancer. 1t grows and spreads.

There Is this to be said of England. Merely
by the educational campaign that has been
waged in the press, in the schools and in the
home, the tendency Of the country has been
away from drinking. Drunkenness has, in fact,
decreased so per cent in the last 10 years. In
America on the other hand, the tendency since
prohibition has been toward drinking.
There Is one more reason why drinking has
decreased in England" He paused and then
said with twinkle in his bright blue eyes:
ct suppose you know that men are controlled
by women. When a young man Is counting
girl, he particularly wants to please her and do
whatever he can in order to better himself in
her eyes. He wants to have an automobile so
that he can take her out to the country. The
criterion of marriage in England used to be
position or title. But one thinks of those
things any more. Now the criterion has be-
come wealth-and the type Of automobile that
you have.
That's why you find the young Englishman
of today saving his money. He has to be very
economical indeed if he wants to have a car.
He can't spend his money on drinks. This is
true even of the AriStocracy. once belonged
TO a very popular club in London. I resigned
from it few years ago and it was not until
recently that had occasion to visit the place
again. spoke to one of the old walters whom
I had known quite well and asked him how
things were going. Very badly, SIR he told
me. The young men don't buy any drinks
these days
"You see in England there is great in
ducement for the young people to drink. No
one considers it smart to carry around a flask
or TO get drunk. But here there's glamour

HOUSE TONIGHT

"Soil," the much discussed pic
ture directed by Alexander Dow
henko, one of the foremost directors
of the Soviet cinema, will have its
American premiere at the 9Th Street
Playhouse this evening.
"Soil" which portrays the village
life of New Russia, brought forth
wide controversy when released in
the Soviet Union. Word about this
controversy even reached the Amer
lean dailies from their correspond
ents in the capital of the Soviet
Union. Dovzhenko is now one of
the most discussed directors in
U.S.S.R. and is ranked with Eisen-

Gable by Inprecorr)

BERLIN, Oct. 16.-This after
noon, Bruening delivered the pro-
gran3Ss..ic de declaration of the gov
ernnVnt in the Reichstag. He said
not a word about the metal work
ers' strike. There are 100000 metal
workers out against wage cuts.
He stated that other nations were
not reducing but were increasing
their ornaments, therefore Ger
many must receive greater oppor-
tuHities 20 increase its military
strength. He said that the army
was the backbone of the state. He
said the government stood one hun
dred per cent behind the emergency
decrease, and would oppose all mo-
tons to withdraw, but agreed to
place same before a commission for
possible amendments "a concession
to the socialists in return for their
srpportl; he praised the extortion-
ate Kruger loan, declaring that the
same was necessary because of lack
of public spirit in the German Reich,
and because of the withdrawal of
large fortunes, rendering the inner
market unable to meet the require
ments.
He stated that wages and salaries
must be cut, and appealed to the Of
fcials to make sacrafices willingly.
Ell announced a series of laws radi-
cally abolishing the present social
welfare system. Bruening stated it
was necessary first to secure stabil-
ization of the capitalist state, both
economically and politically, and
that then comes social welfare.
He said assistance to agriculture
would continue, and announced in
creased customs, reduction of for
eign imports, including meat, and
new milling laws forcing rye bread
on the people. He said that owing
to conditions of German finances the
Preparations problem must be raised
again.
