Marberry made 1t possible Tor
the Griffs to snatch third place
away from the Indians by defeat
ing the Tigers, 8 to 5, yesterday.
All of which pictures the idea
that he'll be one of the chief
aids in keeping his team in their
new berth from now until the end
of the schedule.
Marberry didn't grab third
place for the GriffS all by his
lone efforts. The New York Yam
KEGS proved a most helpful aid,
while Marberry's felloWmen were
other helpmates.
YankS Prove Aid
The Yankees defeated the Cleve-
land Indians as their part in the
aiding" Marberry'S teammates
batted behind his good pitching
as their contribution. The double
combination of efforts could not
help but have one definite re-
suit. Needless to say third place
was gained by the Griffs and a
third straight pitching triumph
by Marberry, all to the delight of
everybody involved with the pos
sible exception of the Cleveland
Indians, who dropped to fourth
place in the standings.
Marberry was hit pretty hard
by the Tigers yesterday, but he
managed to have enough in re-
serve to halt rallies when they
became too dangerous. In the
eighth, for instance, he showed
his best work.
Here the Tigers peppered Big
Fred's offerings to all corners of
the lot. After they had gathered
four runs, the veteran figured
that they had scored enough.
Then he put on the brakes and
the Tigers were stopped.
Great Big Lead
The Griffs got Marberry a
comfortable lead right at the
outset when they jumped on
Whitley Wyatt, Manager Bucky
Harris starting pitcher, for four
runs in the second inning. One
more was counted in the fourth
before Wyatt'S exit, while three
more were showed across the
plate during the fifth and
seventh, when Marrow and Uhle
occupied the mound.
The Tigers had one other
scoring frame besides that four
run eighth. 1t was in the first
when Walker singled and Webb
tripled after two had been re-
tired. All told, Marberry gave
up IL hits.
Sam Rice led the Griffs with
two hits, both coming with men
on the paths. Cronin and Kerr
also grabbed two bingles each
while Spencer socked out three
to actually lead his teammates
in the matter of the highest
total.

HELD IS CHOICE
PUBLIC LINKS
CONTESTANT
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Eddie Held, of st. Louis, will be
one of the prime favorites to win
the national amateur champion
ship at Five Farms, September IL
to II.
Eddie is today, as he was 10
years ago, the choice of the pub
lie links golfers.
In 1922, when the first Standish
Cup winner was decided, the first
national public links tourney was
staged over the rolling Ottawa
Park course, in Toledo, Ohio.
Eddie and his brother-manager
foregathered at Ottawa Park with
140 others from all over the coun-
try. They were the vanguard Of
the horde of public links players
of America.
Brother Had Faith
Eddie'S brother had great faith
in the golfer of the family. Be
fore the tournament was an hour
old, Eddie's brother had the news
paper men all hoped up about
Eddie's chances.
While the newspaper men felt
that little George Aulbach, of Bos-
ton; Dick Walsh, of New York,
and Bill Wallace and Bill Muddy, of
Detroit, were the best of the field
@F fc a oly nj
the newspaper crowd watched the
slender Held as he started his
first round. They were really in
tereSted.
Eddie Held was straight from
none-too-good public links in st.
Louis. His brother competitors
were from the none-too-good pub
lie links of other cities. 1t was a
real free-forall.
Eddie came through with flying
colors, after George Aulbach had
won medalist honors. Dick Walsh
was runner-up to Eddie, and the
highly touted Wallace and MUDDY
were nowhere.
Toward dusk of the tourna-
ment'S final day, Eddie'S brother
joined the ScribeS as the latter
were rattling off stories for home
town newspapers. Eddie'S brother
was patient. AS each scribe fin
ished his work for the day, Ed
dies brother whispered a few
words to him. The result was
that when the final story of the
tourney for the day had been
written, all the scribes remained
within the press tent.
Eddie Makes Speech
Eddie's brother delivered an
grafton. He pointed out the ne
cessity for a real public links
player to represent Americas
public players in the National
Amateur to be played a few days
later at the Brookline Country
Club.
The scribes dug down in their
jeans and sent Eddie to Boston.
He was Americas first public
links champion, and this coun-
try's first public player to COM
pete in a National Amateur.
Eddie did we'll in that National
Amateur of 1922. but Jess Sweet
ser and "Chick" Evans reached
the final, the former defeating
the Chicagoan, 3 and 2, in
dingdong battle for the amateur
crown. .
Eddie Held had been competing
in national amateurs ever since,
and he never tires of hearing the
story of how the cold-blooded
newspaper gang made it possible
for him to go to that great event
at Brookline.

Course Inspection

The Fifty Fifth, with a party
of hardy Seamen aboard, was
turing the course, determining
if matters would be generally
satisfactory to the pilots who
will compete for the Presidents
cup, come mid-September.
After plenty of accommodating
1t was the consensus of all
hands. above and below deck,
that the turns were too sharp
to admit of maintaining the
high speed at which those swift
craft are expected to negotiate
the course, and that something
should be done about it.
1t was our modest suggestion
that they bank the turns, such
as they do on thoroughbred
horse racing tracks and in gym
nasiums, but the idea brought
on irritable scoWl from the good
Major and what we interpreted
as a real dirty look from
Comdr. Edmund Jewell. of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Power
Boat Association, and after all
you couldn't blame him.
Anyway. for some reason or
other, the idea seemed to be
out. 1t was apparently aban-
doned before it was even given
breath and we can assure you,
one and all. that the turns will
not be banked. although from
what happened a few minutes
later we are positive that if
anybody in, or out of, the en-
gineer corps could bank those
turns, Major Arthur would be

A Stroke of the Pencil

So it was decided that it
would be necessary to make
those turns less hairpin and
more horseshoe. letting them
flare out a bit at the two eX-
tremes of the course, giving the
pilots greater radius of opera
ton in order to maintain
desired momentum.
Even this presented its prob
lem to the casual onlooker be-
cause so widening the turns
might get the craft into shall
low water to say nothing of
sea grass and other flotSam
and jetsam, but of course Ma
jor. Allen had the answer. He
would!
It was to move the course
about 100 yards downstream
where there was more and
deeper water and where there
would be plenty of room to do
hand springs, flip flopS, jack
knives, and other marine gyra-
tons. and accordingly, with a
single stroke of the graphite,
he penciled a new course where
on everything would be hotsy-
! totsy for any eventuality which
might tranSpire come Septem-
Der II.
1t takes a strong man to move
Misunderstanding boat course
100 yards down stream with
pencil between his thumb and
forefinger-we'll tell you! And
too, it's SO much easier than
banking the turns-don't you
think?
Mind again conquered mere
matter!

IN LINEUP
LONGER
BY GARRETT WATERS

Johnny Kerr, the diminutive in
fielder who has been substituting
for Buddy Myer at second base
for the Griffs during the past
four days, is going tn be kept
at the bag for one or two more
games, Manager Johnson init
mated this morning.
The pilot has several reasons
for this decision. One is that
Myer is not yet ready to take
his regular place because of the
injury sustained by him while
sliding home" in last Sundays
game against the Cleveland In
dams, while another is that Kerr
has been playing pretty we'll any
way and deserves the call as long
as he can deliver.
Thus. unless Johnson makes
one of his eleventh hour changes,
Mr.. Kerr will be at second base
during the remaining games Of
this Detroit Tiger series which
finishes Sunday.
Slid Too Had
Myer, it develops, injured him.
self more than first thought last
week. 1t will be remembered
Buddy took a tremendous dive
at the plate and Scraped his
legs quite painfully while sliding
on the ground. He continued IN
the lineup, but found later on
that he had been hurt more than
he thought himself.
Because Kerr is going so
we'll at second base right nov,
and because a short lay-Off for
Myer should not harm the
team a great deal, it is my
plan to keep Buddy on the
sidelineS couple of days
longer" Manager Johnson COM
mented this morning. "Of
course. if Kerr hits a slump
and Myer is about ready to
resume his post, I'll rush Buddy
back to his job. But thePe'A
no hurry about it, with Kerr
going good and Myer still aihng
at the present moment"
Idle today because of an off
day in the schedule, the GrlffS
were hoping that the New York
Yankees defeated the Cleveland
Indians again this afternoon.
Manager JohnsonS men hold
these hopes because their third
place position will be strength
ened that much more by another
Cleveland loss.
Third place was gained yester-
day when our boys defeated
the Detroit Tigers, 8 to 5, for
the second straight time in as
many days.
Battle Looms Ahead
The Griffs are in for a battle
tomorrow, by the way. This, be-
cause Manager Bucky Harris OF
the Tigers has announced that
Vic Sorrell will be his pitcher.
Sorrell beat the GriffS the last
time he faced them in 2-to-l
battle with Tommy Thomas. Be
sides this fact, he's always been
a tough customer for Manager
JOhnSOn'S men.
Gen. Alvin CroWder is to get
the Griff pitching assignment.
Manager Johnson is sending him
back with only three days rest
because the veteran is usually
good against the Tigers, also be-
cause he must be called upon in
view of the battered condition Of
the teams pitching staff at the
present.
The general pitched good ball
his last time out-that against
the IndianS-but weakened enough
in the ninth to enable the Tribe
to tie the score. The Griffs won
the game later, but Bill McAfee
got credit for the triumph be-
cause he held the Indians for four
extra innings while his mates
waited until the thirteenth before
showing across the run for the
winning 5to-4 margin.

Previous to the inspection,
Major Arthur had prepared a
plat, and indicated can buoys
thereon, outlining the course
which runs approximately mid
stream from the railroad bridge
to the tip end of Hams Point,
the same being something like
500 feet from outside to out
side and describing something
of a hairpin turn at the two
extremes, which are probably
a mile and a quarter apart.

A Sick Capitalist
Industry Gets Sicker
By LABoR RESEARCH AssoCrArToN


A REPORT on the world cotton industry by a
II special and weu-informed correspondent" OF
the Commercial and Financial Chronicle"
shows the acute depression existing in all capt.
talist countries in contrast to the steady upward
course in the Soviet Union. The position OF this
industry in Europe at the end Of 1880 was more
unsatisfactory than has been the case within
living memory"
In Britain production in the weaving industry
has been between so and 60 per cent of capacity,
The Indian boycott had been so extensive that
export trade was cut down drastically and bust
ness between Lancashire and India during the
past II months has been on a scale which a
year ago would have been unbelievable" India,
which formerly took S400000000 worth of Lam
castire cotton goods annually now takes little
more than half that amount And Britain meets
with severe competition from Japan in the Chi
nese market (See Chapter l OF Labor and
Textiles
The British capitalists try to improve their
profits by urging the workers to operate more
looms, by more scrapping of old machinery and
naturalization by larger mergers, and by wage
cuts. On the continent conditions are no better,
declines in production being shown in such tex
tile countries as France, Holland, Germany Bel
GUM Poland Austria and Czechoslovakia. In
all countries the depression grows worse, unem-
ployment and short-time work increases, and
the cotton workers face increasing misery.
A survey by the International Federation Of
Cotton Splnners and Manufacturers Association
shows that OF the 100000 cotton looms in the
world at the end Of last year. more than 20 per
cent were entirely stopped at that time OF the
British looms in operation, only 81 per cent were
working normal full time; IA per cent in the
U. s. Sc per cent in Italy; 81 per cent in Czecho-
slovakia; IS per cent in Poland; ana II per cent
in Germany
