Earnshaw One
Reason For As
Huge Success

Stout hearted George Earnshaw
apparently has accepted the respon-
slbility for keeping the Philadei-
phia Athletics in their accustomed
post on at the top 81 the Amer
can league standing. Few pitchers
In modern times have worked hard
er nor turned IN more heroic per-
tormances than has Connie Mack's
r ght-handed ace in the first four
months or the campaign.
Friday the Moose" went to the
firing line for the third time with
III six days and pitched the cham
pions 70 a victory over the New
York Yankees in a thinning thrill
err, 8 10 8. Entering the game az
a relief pitcher in the seventh in
ming. he withstood a blow that
would have demoralized a less
courageous moundsman and stuck
ii out TO win.
Going into the last OF the ninth
with a two rean lead, Earnshaw
retired the first two batsmen and
appeared 70 have the contest in
the bag. Then Babe Ruth singled
and his old sparring mate, Lou
Gehrig. came through with a home
run into the right bleachers tying
the score.
E~arnshaw settled down and
BANKED the Yankees for the next
five innings until Bishop. Simmons
and F0xx blazed out the hits TO
win in the fourteenth.
The game marked Earnshaw's
twenty third appearance ON the
Hill this year and gave him his
fifteenth victory against four de-
feats.

BUSINESS SURVEYS
REVEAL OPTIMISM.
Labor Federation Cites Four
Major Reasons for Pre-
dieting Recovery.

While the manifest optimism in trade
and industry has not been translated
thus far into any sharp Increase in the
volume Of business, reports received
from 81 cities by the Presidents Or
ganization on Unemployment Relief
and q business survey made by the
American Federation Of Labor tndi-
Gated today the prevailing cheerfulness
may be a prelude to wholesome re-
covery.
After months OF viewing conditions
on the pessimiStic side, the labor fed
today business sentiment Is distinctly
better" and cited four major reasons:
1.-THE beginning Of organized effort
to meet depression problems has
steadied the public mind.
Finds Gain in Confidence.
1.-THE Presidents credit organization
to check bank failures has increased
confidence at home.
Conferences between ministers Of
the leading nations have facilitated
measures to deal with world problems
and improved world confidence.
THE Presidents plan for fund to
liquidate frozen real estate investments
~SANSSe
measure"
The federation pointed out other de-
velopments ION the bright side of the
picture:
The rise in wheat, all commodity and
stock prices, an increase in steel OPP
erations in the first week in November
prospective improvement in automobiles,
a decrease in the boarding of money
and in bank failures.
100000 Estimated Idle.
The survey estimated approximately
100000 workers are unemployed and
asserted that, although unemployment
has been increased by the business de-
preston, the major problem left by the
past decade has been to adjust work
hours to the actual worktin1e needed
in the country's industries.
CLEARLY, business must face thil
fundamental adjustment" the survey
said, land il there is only 35 hours
work a week for all wage earners In
the United States the only sound eco
nomic policy is to adjust work hours
accordingly. This involves universal
adoption Of either the six-hour day
or the f1ve-day week.
