HAFEy'S LOSS
!. HARD BLOW
!. To TEAM
syAuN;@ By

NEW YORK, July 23.-I have
about given up on the st. Louis
Cardinals, whom picked last
March as the probable pennant
winner in the National League
this season. Their early failure
impressed me as merely one Of
those Slumps into which all teams
fall at times, whether they are
pennant chaSers or in the second
division and out Of the race. l
looked each week for the return
to winning form, but as the weeks
have gone by the Cardinals nave
done nothing to indicate that
thev still belong to the upper set.
Usually l string along with my
remnant choice until there is no
longer a mathematical chance
for that team to come through n.
But this year it seems IDLE TO
stick any longer to the Cardinals.
L guess it is about time, TOO, 10
figure thai 1 was wrong In my
prediction that the Giants would
he the second place team at the
close of the season. Both Caros
and Giants have been CONSISTENT
second division teams to daCe
and the season Is more tnan na4l
completed.
Answer Easy
IT is easy to find the answer for
the plight of the National League
champions. They gave up more
than they could afford when tney
let Chick Hafey 60 because OF
salary dispute, and several OF the
outstanding stars in their pen
nant dash last season are having
a had wear. Jim Bottomley, who
finished less than a percentage
noint behind Hafey. the National
League batting champion iasC
season, has slumped badly TINS
wear. and Frank Frisch is conslo-
erably below his 1881 form.
Charley colbert is another. His
hitting this year has been consld-
eraplv below his normal average
for his three previous years VIVID
the Cardinals.
Adams Hurt
Sparky Adams, who was counted
llpon as the regular third oase-
man. has been out most OF tile
season through injury. Thus we
have the entire championship IN
field. which delivered so hand
somely a year ago, far below tne
nrevious standard and three play
ers showing the effects Of this
slump in defensive plaS as we'll
I think, too, that too much was
expected of Pepper Martin as
result of his brilliant play in the
world series last october. Martin
also has been out a lot as a result
Of injuries, and when he was in
the game he hit only $50. Thus
we have Bottomley, Frisch, Gel
bert. Adams and Martin affected
by injuries, or slumps, or both,
and both Hafey and Grimes lost
to the team through trades. 1t is
little wonder, when you stop to
consider the part these players
performed in the 1881 success,
that the Cards are down In the
second division and no longer re-
garded as a hlgn-claSS team.
Trade Filters
Then there is the Hack Wilson
case to remember. The Cardinals
had him for a time and when
everybody was telling what a
great outfield it would be with
Hafey, Martin and Wilson in the
game, the two heavy hitters were
traded. l am not criticizing the
club officials because they know
what players they want. I men
ton all these happenings as fac
tors in the drop of a worlds
championship club to one which
has not been able to remain
above the 500 mark consistently
this year.

ton in Farley Corrected
in Statement

London, July 12.-(AP)-Nobody
can blame the United States for the
attitude she has taken toward war
debts, Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald told parliament Tuesday, and
the Lausanne Treaty was in no way
intended as an ultimatum to America.
1t was the prime minister's first
appearance in the house since his
return from Lausanne. Just be-
fore he began to speak an official
statement was issued correcting an
impression that the negotiators at
Lausanne had consulted American
representatives regarding gentle
mems agreement" that the Lausanne
Treaty would not become effective
until America scaled down the debts.
That impression arose from a
speech Monday in the house by Ne
vile Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer, who said the delegates
from Lausanne had consulted not
only each other but also representa-
tives of the American government.
Chamberlain's statement was In
terpreted by some newspapers as a
hint that a secret agreement on war
debt revision had been made with the
U. S. before Germany's reparatiops
bill was cut to three billion gold
marks (about $3.50 100000.
Cat Washington Monday Secretary
of State Stimson said no representa-
tive of the state department had
anything to do with framing the So
called gentlemen's agreement, which
provides the reparations settlement
shall not go into effect until the Uni
ted States scales down It's debt
claims.
The Chamberlain statement was
made in the house of commons in
reply to an attack by Winston
Churchill in which the latter said
that. from his knowledge of public
opinion in America. he believed mo
more unfortunate approach toward
debt cancellation could have been
made than the procedure at Lau-
same +.
The chancellor replied it was en-
barrassing to him to have to antic-
ipate the prime minister's speech
Monday. and that Churchills attack
had done no service to Britain
After ALL" he said. I'VE were in
touch at Lausanne, not only with
European representatives, but we
also had an opportunity of conversa-
tions with the representatives of the
United States. so we would ask the
house to believe that, in this rather
delicate situation, we have no reason
to think that the course we have
taken is going to lead to any of those
unfortunate results MIR. Churchill
anticipates"
He begged the government not to
bring the question to a head until
after the American presidential cleo
ton. declaring that to raise it now
in the atmosphere of the election
would be disastrous to the ever
growing number of friends of debt
revision in the United States.

Florida Convict Dies in
Prison Camp 'S,Ueat Boz
Head Of institution and Guard
Are Accused Of First
Degree Murder
Associated PYess Photo

Jacksonville, Fla, July 12.-(P-
Sunbeam prison camp near here was
in process of abandonment Tuesday
as a result of the death in sweat
box" on June 3 of Arthur Maillefert
l9-year-old convict from Westfield
N. j., and charges Of cruelty to pris-
oners that grew out of the case.
Evacuation of the prisoners was or
dered after camp officials said the
men had become "demoralized" over
Maillefert's death.
Meanwhile the grand jury which
Indicted Captain George Courson,
head of the Sunbeam camp. and
Guard Solomon Higginbotham on
charges of first-degree murder. and
severely criticised the handling of
prisoners at the camp. has taken up
other cases.
Courson and Higginbotham are
free under bond of $1,000 each, fol-
lowing habeas corpus hearing last
week in which they denied charges of
cruelty to prisoners and called Maille-
fert's death suicide rather than the
S>oIlt of torture.
Maillefert, serving nine years for
robbery, was found dead in the sweat
box strangled by a chain placed
around his neck and attached to a
rafter of the box. His feet were in
stocks. The sweat box" legal in
strument of punishment, Is a tiny
house, barely head high and about
three feet square. ventilated only by
small opening at the top. Author
tiles said it would be impossible for a
prisoner to sit or lie down in it.
Courson, in testimony, denied he
had chained Maillefert to the box as
punishment. He said the chain was
used to prevent the prisoner from
making another of - repeated at
temptS to escape.
The morning before his death,
Maillefert was punished for refusal
to work by being placed naked in a
barrel, with only his head and feet
outside. He gnawed his way out and
fled, but was recapjured a mile from
camp. He was then placed In the
sweat box. Physicians said he was ex-
hausted and weak from a bread-and-
water diet. County authorities said
they believed that in his weakened
condition, he strangled on the chain
because he was unable to stand.
