OUTFIT IS

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Just
what sort of an Indian sign do
the Chicago White Sox hold over
the Griffmen this season. Try as
they might, Manager Johnson's
men are finding it harder and
harder to win in this city than
ever.
When the Griffmen made their
first appearance here back in May
they had little trouble in down
ing the men of Bush. But since
then it has been a different story.
Last June. as is known, the Sox
took three out of five games in a
series which actually squelchcd
the GriffS as far as their pen
nant hopes were concerned, while
the present series stands three to
two in favor of the same said
Sox.
It's really hard to figure out.
A peculiar thing is that the Sox
have been in the throeS Of heart
rending slumpS when the Griffs
have hit town, but the appear
ance of the johnson team has
signalled return to winning
form as Sox victories will bring
out.
Before the GriffS landed here
for this series, the SOx were
unable to hit balloons. so weak
were they at bat.
They continued weak against
big Fred Marberry in the first en-
counter of the series, but against
all pitchers Manager johnson has
used since, the SoX have been
hitting like demons.
1t just narroWS down to the
fact that they like to defeat the
Griffmen better than any club in
the league, so it seems. They GER =
tainly play an inspired brand Of
ball. to say the least.
All told the Griffs have won
only four times out here since last
May. A shameful record for O
team that is supposed to be so
much stronger than anything the
West has to offer.
The GriffS lost a great deal of
ground by yesterdays 1O-to-5 de-
feat, the third game of the series.
First, they dropped a full contest
to the AS (regardless of whether
it means anything or not), who
new lead by IL games. while a
half a game was lost to the
Yankees, who idled in Cleveland
because Of rain. The Yanks now
trail Manager JohnSon's men by
three and a half games in the
fight for second place.
All the GriffS have left to
fight for at this time in their
series with the Sox is an even
break. They hope to get it to-
day when they engage the Bush.
men in the final encounter of
the set.
Manager johnson has nomina-
ted Sad Sam Jones for mound
duty in sticking to his pitching
PAdAlo oAIAAOuAASCu al IklS SIdEu O1
the series. Pat Caraway, who
hurled the ninth inning during
yesterdays game, is to hurl for
the Sox.
The Griffmen were quite upset
about losing yesterdays game.
They had hoped so earnestly
to take the SOx and take
them badly" in this series when
they left Washington last Sun.
day.
But it seems it's just not to be
when Manager Bush's men play
so strenuously against them like
they have recently. The Griffs'
lone consolation at this time is
to get an even break. That's the
least they can do fSr this year
in this city at that.

RYE, N. Y. Aug. 14.-They

EMPLOYMENT
GAINS IN JUNE

That the unemployment prob
lem is still sever in American in
dustry is shown by statement
of labor turnover for the month
of June. based on statistics gath
cred from 10 separate manufac-
turing industries by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the Depart
ment of Labor.
The statement shows that the
accession rate for manufacturing
as a whole, based on a survey
from representative establish
ments employing approximately
1,250,000 people, was 2.41 per
cent, while the separation rate
was 500. In other words, 2.68
per cent more people left their
jobs than were newly employed
during the month. OF the sep
aration rate 1.02 per cent quit,
% per cent were discharged,
while 3.84 per cent were laid off.
In the boot and shoe indus
try, the brick industry, the mems
clothing industry and the meat
packing industry, the accession
rate exceeded the separation rate.

all, I can see him collapSing

Aren't they famous? What
more could any one ask? And
that's why, when I write of
the simple tragedies of some of
these girls, so many people
think I invent my tales.
Let me tell you of the Helen
Walsh that used to be. Here
was a girl of "a whose father
had died some years back. He
left very little money, a home
far uptown, another daughter
and wife who has never been
quite the same since her man
passed away.
Sounds like the old dime
novel stuff-but there were
taxes and mortgages that had
to be paid. Mrs. Walsh wasn't
strong enough to work, and her
two children would not have let
her do anything even if she
could. So it was up to them
to carry on. Helen went to
work in department store
and her sister Marion became
a stenographer.

About Richman

!, And then, even at the mo-
ment, I suddenly realize that
it's all true and that they we're
going to bury her in a few
hours. They'll expect me to
slobber in this column. But
I'll fool them. I'll not slobber
at all. I'm going to try to be a
trouper. Like Harry Richman,
for instance.
How I admire that man.!
How my heart hurts when 1
think of the many things I
wrote about him before 1
learned to know him-and un-
derstand him. How well 1 know
that he would give his life this
moment to bring that girl back
to earth again. Even as would
my wife or 1. And gladly, too.
1 have many mental pictures
of the man in the last seventy
two hours. 1 can see him now
as, stunned as he was by the
terrific explosion, he managed
to leap in beside me in the
blazing boat and toss that poor,
burning girl into the sea. 1
can see him refusing treatment
in the hospital and insisting
that he was all right until the
three girls were cared for
and then collapsing from burns
that had scared him from head
to foot.
