GIANTS, CARDS
, FAIL To HIT
STRIDE
By BABE RUTH


The idea expressed so freqeuntly
before the start of the season that
American League pennant race
would be a three-cornered affair
among the New York, Philadel-
phia and washington clubs, while
the Giants and Cardinals would
have the battle pretty much to
themselves in the National
League, has not been borne out
in the early returns. In fact the
standings after the Memorial Day
double-headerS indicated that 1t
was an open fight in each league
AS a matter of fact the sup
posed big three in the American
League have not been able to
shake off either the Cleveland In,
dians or the Detroit Tigers. The
Indians, in fifth place, were only
six games behind the pace-setting
Yankees after each of these teams
had won a double-header on the
holiday. A sustained squirt could
put any of these four other clubs
in front of the Yankees within a
short time.
Browns May Get Back
The other American League
teams have begun to show the
strain and have fallen several
games behind the group men,
toned above. There is chance
for the Browns to get back into
the fight but I can't see much
hope at this stage for either the
White Sox or the Red Sox.
The National League has a
much tighter race than the Amer
ican. The eighth-place club was
exactly eight games behind the
leaders when all the holiday base
ball had been completed. and you
can't beat that very much for
keen competition. Every day sees
some change in position among
the National League club, with
the going so close that a team
could drop from the first division
into last place within space of
three days.
The inability of the Giants and
Cardinals to climb Above the 500
mark and hold the pace has been
the big surprise of the National
League race during the first seven
weeks of the season.
Frequently Happens
That certain supposedly weak
teams should have winning streaks
is not surprising, because it fire.
quently happens that several
pitchers acquire effectiveness at
one time, and team is favored
by hard hitting. It is surprising,
however. that teams of such un-
doubted strength as that pos
sessed by the Giants and the
Cardinals can remain so long in
the second division. Perhaps the
answer to this is found in the
more even distribution of strength
among the eight clubs, which has
prevented either from embarking
on any such winning splurge as
the fans have been expecting.

H|GH-GRADE
ATHLETICS
BY HARRY COSTELLO


"Is the hidden motive of the
sO-called new college athletic
movement actually the elimina-
tiOn of intercollegiate ath-
leticS?"
The question comes from the
assistant principal of a high
school.
An cresting question, too. in
view of the recent statements
coming from Yale University;
more than interesting, consider.
ing that paid coaches of the IN.
try have rather suspected profes.
sional pacifist a@tators in the
matter of intercollegiate activi.
ties; unusually interesting, when
one studies the recent statement
of DR.. Marvin A. Stevens, Yale's
head footban coach, a graduate
of Yale, and a man whose mo-
tives and integrity cannot be
questioned.
New Movement Grows
In recent months, the so-called
new college athletic movement"
has gone forward with leaps and
bounds. Indeed, the movement
has reached out to include the
high schools, and even the grade
schools. Pacifists readily admit
that they seek "the elimination of
all warlike games from American
life"
Paid athletic coaches have for
some time suspected that paci-
fists have been working very sys-
tematically, and very cleverly,
among collegiate authorities, high
school officials and grade school
teachers. The work of these pa
cifist groups has been nationwide.
There has been no particular ef-
fort on the part of paCifistS to
work behind smoke screens. So
far as this observer can see, the
work of the "peace-at-any-price"
groups has been conducted open
ly. The point here seems to be
that the pro-athletic groups are
not organized to cope with the
pacifists.
DR.. Stevens in a signed article
said:
Preserve Starting Date
81 advocate that no change
be made in the starting date
of fall practice. If a change
is made, Yale should compete
with only those teams whose
training period is of the same
length. This may mean the
elimination of intercollegiate -.
football at Yale"
That final sentence indicates
that DR.. Stevens has something
in mind apropos the elimination
of intercollegiate football.
The method of attack en-
ployed against intercollegiate foot
ball obviously is open to suspicion.
A later date for starting fall
practice means that the physical
condition of players will be much
poorer than it is now. Injury
should follow injury, if football
history teaches us anything al
all.
Many persons who closely fol
low ALL activities in relation to
intercollegiate athletics are firmly
convinced that the elimination OF
intercollegiate athletics is greatly
desired by pacifist groups. These
same pacifist groups are now
obtaining dividends on consistent
efforts invested since 1921, when
the so-called new college athletic
movement started.

Frank W. MondeI| Says Two
Senators Should Be ExiIed
From G. O. P. Ranks.

Frank w. Mondell, former Represent
ative from wyoming, In an address de-
livered last night at a meeting of the
Republican State Voters Association OF
the District at the National Capital Re
publican Club. attacked Senator George
w. Norris of Nebraska and Hiram john
son of California for boiling the Repub-
Ecan party. His speech was confined to
an appeal for party unity to insure the
reelection Of President Hoover.
Mr. Mondell expressed the hope that
the current Norris-Johnson bolt would
result in their permanent exile from
Republican ranks. but he predicted they
would come trooping back in December
to demand their committee chairman
ships because they are supposed to be
Republicans He added that the fact
that Mr.. Hoover is Republican is SUI
ficient for his reelection.
Denounces Norris.
The former Representative character
lied the boiling Senators as having been
"nourished on Republican food" and
stated they lowe everything they have
politically to the Republican party" He
declared that for many years Senator
Norris has been reelected because by
devious ways he got on the Republican
ticket"
Mr.. Mondell blamed the present pri-
mary system for the situation which
permits candidates to show their party
affiliations only when it is to their ad-
vantage. He added that under the pres
ent system of nominating the Demo-
Gratis can put the worst Republican on
the ticket and then the Republicans
have to vote for him."
An appeal to woman Republicans to
demonstrate that their judgment of
President Hoover was correct in 1928
by working for his reelection this year
was made by Mrs. Hewitt Giles Robert
son. identified with the Republican or
ganiZation in Montgomery County, Md.
She stated the women of the country
have not changed their opinion of
President Hoover and will play an i'm
portant part in keeping him in the
White House another four years.

times for Governor, but lost It by q big
margin when he ran for President. Gov.
Roosevelt has carried it twice on State
questions. There is no telling at this
moment whether in a presidential elec-
ton he can swing the State into the
Democratic column for the first time in
20 years.
The people of the State know the
Governor well: they know his record,
but they are divided as to the character
of his achievements. To the people of
any other part of the Union Mr.. Roose-
welt may be an unknown quantity, so
far as campaign promises and pledges
are concerned. To the people of his
own State, however, Mr.. Roosevelt is
neither an economic Moses nor an in
efficient Governor. On the whole he
has made an excellent impression as an
administrator and partisan Of the
peoples interest.
Hoover Experienced.
But among Republicans who admire
him there is distinct feeling that Mr.
Roosevelt would be required for one or
two years at least to go to school," SO
to speak, in managing national affairs
They point out that President Hoover
has had nearly four years IN the Wnlte
House and eight years besides in the
executive branch of the Federal Gov
ernment, hence is more familiar with
national and international problems as
a whole.
The test in this case is not going to be
on personalities. 1t never has been. The
Republican vote, which is preponderant
in presidential elections, will be cast
on the basis of which candidate can do
more to bring about business revival and
which candidate has had or is likely to
have better grasp of Federal problems
The Governor of New York has large
responsibilities and much power in deal
ing with questions growing out of the
depression. In SO far as this State is con-
cerned, Mr. Roosevelt is one of the

resentment that apparently is being Wis
