Phils Are Thorn
I'm Side of Bucs

NEW YORK, August 2.-In IA
4N games the Phillies have beaten
the Pirates of Pittsburgh 10
times to date. Burt Shotton's team
of heavy hitters captured their third
straight game from the National
League pacemakers at Baker Bowl
yesterday by the overwhelming score
cf 18 to 5. According to the standing
early today, the Phillies, in third po-
sition, were two games behind the
Chicago Cubs and seven behind the
Pirates.
The vastly improved Phillies now
are leading the senior loop in bat
ting, and if Manager Shotton's pitch
ing staff can stand the gaff the Phil
lies may have much to say about the
championship, if they do not win it.
Shotton has nine pitchers with which
to make the final drive. They are
the right-handers, Flint Rhem, Phil
Collins, Ed Holley, Ray Benge, Ace
Elliott, John Berly and elise Dudley,
and the SouthpaWs, Jim Elliott and
Roy Hansen. If they can come
through, well if they can.

CRUCIAL CONTESTS
DUE ON SANDLOTS
Next Sunday to Bring at
Least Three Tits In
voIving Titles.

- ANDLOT base ball this year has
been marked by the smallest
crowds in seasons, but, judging
by the surprisingly large thrpng
which witnessed the Columbia Heights
Federal Storage clash last Sunday, all
the sport needs is a few crucial con-
tests to act as tonic.
Next Sunday on the West Ellipse local
sandlot followers get another sandlot at
traction, involving the same Columbia
Heights tossers and Rock Creek Serv-
icenter, and indications point to a high
attendance mark for the season. The
championship of Section B of the Capt.
tai City League will be at stake.
Columbia Heights was undefeated
until, with three games to go and only
one victory needed to clinch the flag,
it ran into st. Joseph's and lost Next
came Federal Storage, which won a
9-to-8 victory. If Rock Greek Serv-
icenter also upsets the Heightsmen
triple tic between these two clubs and
Federal Storage will result.

FORMER PLAy-BOY
STARS WITH PH|LS.
Boosts Mark in New Berth
to s Won and 2 Lost
by Beating Pirates.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

@REDIT for the years great
4 est base ball comeback
~ seems to belong almost
without question to Flint
Rhem, erstwhile play-boy of the
st. Louis Cardinals and now a
consistent winner for Burt Shot
tons failing Phillies.
The right-hander, whose disregard of
training rules and ineffective pitching
finally cost him his place in the far
flung Cardinal organization, has rolled
up a,string of eight victories against
only two defeats since he Joined the
Phillies early in the campaign. For
the Cardinals he had won four games
and lost two.
Rheims pitching was responsible in
no small measure for the Phillies' third
straight victory over the league-leading
Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday, 18 to 5.
1t was significant that Rhem blanked
the Pirates until his teammates had
piled up a 9-to-0 lead for him. The
% hits to pile up their one-sided tri-
umph, their tenth in IA games with
the league leaders this season.
Tex Carleton pitched the Cardinals
to a 4-to-2 victory ovo-A- the Boston
Braves in the only other game on the
National League program. Carleton al
lowed only seven hits and had sensa-
tional support from his teammates, es-
pecially Jimmy Reese, who handled IL
chances without a bobble at second
base.
T'HE New York Yankees and Phila-
i delphia Athletics were the days
winners in the abbreviated Ameri-
can League program.
The Yankees tripped Detroit, 6-3, as
Danny MacFayden kept IL Tigers hits
well scattered. Babe Ruth's sensational
hitting streak came to an end, as
Whitehill and Wyatt walked him four
times after he had been called out on
strikes in the first inning.
Rube Walberg had a slight edge on
Yves Ferrell as the Athletics nosed out
the Cleveland Indians, 10. Ferrell al
lowed only two hits until the ninth,
when singles by Cochrane, Foxx and
McNair scored the only run of the bat
tie. Walberg was reached for only four
hits. 1t was the AS second 10 victory
over the Indians in as many days.

n YEW YORK, August 2.-Detroit
N enjoyed an interval of success
in the American League and
while it was going on, an all
too brief period for the Detroit fans,
so many nice things we're said about
the team that the bugs began to talk
OF a championship.
That was little too gorgeous. Bucky
Harris did so well with his players that
he should not have been loaded down
with the incubus of sprouting pennant.
Everybody was so ready for a sensa-
ton in the American League that the
wish was father to the thought, as far
as Detroit was concerned. The Yankees
were a lot of sensation but the critics
refused to recognize them as better than
ball players. The truth is that some
fans were surfeited with philadelphia
and New York and were looking West
for anything to happen, just so that it
stopped the everlasting Eastern boast

MORE conservative opinion held that

MORE conservative opinion held that
1Vl Detroit never would rise above
certain height in the race in the
long run. The team might bob up and
down, as ballast was trimmed or the
gas gave out, or something else hap
pened of like significance, but it
couldn't get far enough aloft to win a
championship.
The fact is that Detroit has gone up
or down during the successive weeks of
this race as the team has been good or
not so good in its batting. That shows
strongly. 1t traded away batting
strength, beginning with a none too
strong batting organization, to try to
get something workable. Harris partly
succeeded in doing that but he didn't
get championship caliber with it.
There are three teams in the Amer
ican League that have not been able to
get the lead and hold it, but which at
some time or another have given the
local fans palpitation of the heart
These three are Cleveland, Washington
and Detroit.
Washington, for instance, never has
been lower than fifth and for two week
ends was first in the race. Cleveland
never has been lower than sixth, but 1t
has been everything above that except
first Detroit never has been lower
than fifth and one week end in April
it was first.

SOciety's Revenge

If 1t Is true that conscience can
be an instrument Of torture, Theo-
dore Lily. sentenced to life inprison-
ment, should go through an endless
inquisition. Lily, who was holding
up a grocery store when a little
eighr-year- old boy entered, heart
lessly shot down the child. The De-
troit judge who sentenced the MUIR
derer decried the fact that his state
does not have capital punishment.
The only objection to conscience as
an avenger of wrong is the fact that
those who commit the gravest sins
have been hardened, usually, by such
a series of Entertainments that their
is less keen than those
whose errors are few. It is only at
the beginning Of wrong doing, it
would seem, that conscience makes
a coward of a man. Certainly Lily
had nothing to warn him of the moral
Wrongness of his act. Perhaps, dur
ing the sentence that he must serve,
his conscience will awaken again. If
it does, the judge need not worry be-
cause he could not inflict a death
sentence. There are times when
death could be merciful.

A Way to End Gangs

There are many potential govern
ment, military and scientific leaders
hiding behind the masks of gang
leaders, according to experiments
conducted by DR.. w. H. Cowley, of
Ohio State university.
DR.. Cowley, psychology expert,
studied 20 criminal leaders and 20
criminal followers at the Illinois state
penitentiary Joliet, ILL.,; 20 non-com-
missioned officers and 20 privates
from Fort Sheridan, ILL.,; and 16 stu
dent leaders and 16 student followers
of the University of Chicago.
He found certain traits predomi-
nate in leaders of all three classes
that were missing in the followers.
These traits were: self-confidence,
finality of judgment, drive" or lack
of inhibition and speed of decision.
Education, it seems, holds the an
swer to why two men with the same
qualities follow different paths-one
to public fame and the other to pub
lie defamation. Education will cure
the flaws of adverse environment.
Once the brilliant mind of a leader
is directed along the right path, II
is quick to acquire fame.
