Three Good Braves

Bob Brown and Bill urbanski. shortstop. Urbanski arrived this season, is hitting very well and is holding up his end of the infield. Betts and Brown each won their first five starts, which ought to ex- plain why the Braves have stayed up there. Fritz Knothe at third al- so has done well for the Braves.
 The Cubs have Lon Warneke. who surprised with his sensational pitching, and Billy Herman. who came through to fill Manager Hornsby's place at second. Warne- ke's arrival was sudden, taking even his favorite admirers by sur prise. Herman made a steady start and has been dependable ever since. He has covered twice the amount of ground Hornsby could have guarded. and has hit over 300. Stanley Hack. expensive third sacker, who wilted after fine start may be revived yet, even as Warneke suddenly snapped into form.
 The best Cardinal hitting this year has been supplied by Jimmy (Rip) Collins first baseman or out fielder. Jimmy has hit over .30O' leaders, and seems to fit nicely in- has stayed among the home run to the Cardinal infield or outfield.
 Len Koenecke outfielder thus far hasn't paid dividend on the $75,- 900 the Giants invested in him. Morrissey has done fine work for Dan Howley. fitting into the Reds infield either at short or second.
 The Pirates have played three rockies in their regular lineup, all of them promising performers. Tony Piet has done we'll at sec ond, batting over .260. Floyd Vaughan supplanted the veteran Thevenow because of his capable fielding. He hasn't hit much. Dave

Ynnks Have Two

1uukS 11HVC TWO
 The Yankees, setting the pace in the American. have Johnny AL len, author of several well-pitched games. He participated in the string of 40 consecutive scoreless innings pitched by Yankee hurlers. Saltzgaver and Crosetti. expensive infield pair. have yet to show their value to the Tanks. The latter has been the more dependable perform CT. Saltzgaver recently was optioned out to the Yankees Newark farm. Monte Weaver, the ex-math teacher with Washington, has proved to be quite a pitcher. Wea- against the Athletics.
 Four young players have been prominent in the surprise party Detroit gave the American league this season. Harry Davis, who sup planted the veteran Alexandeg as first baseman, has been fielding like a Sisier or a Judge. Gerald Walk CT, outfelder, has been among the leagues leading hitters. Even as pinch hitter and runner he has been continual threat. Manager Bucky Harris also has been getting good reserve outfielding from Joyner White and some fine relief pitching from lazy Goldstein.
 But the prize of the season, ap- parently. has been Carey Selph, Chicago third baseman. The jump from the Texas loop to mapor league baseball appears to have been easy for him. Selph has hit around the 300 mark all season.
 Ed Coleman, on the shelf for the rest of the season. proved a star outfielder in the As lineup until he was disabled. And Bruce Camp bell, breaking into the Browns out field, seems headed for stardom, at least in Manager Bill Killefer's opinion.

BEER IS LAUDED AS
NOTWITHSTANDING
House Committee Continues
Hearing; Philippines Bill
Up in Senate

Washington, Dec. 8.-@- Anti
prohibitioniSt members of the house
lauded 80 per cent beer as non-in-
toxicating and healthful beverage in
testimony Thursday to its ways and
means committee.
Efforts were made to speed the
hearings so the committee can get to
work by Tuesday on bill to submit
for passage by the end of next week.
This is in line with the Democratic
program for action by Christmas, II
possible.
Representatives Stafford of Wiscon-
sin and Dyer of Missouri, Republi-
cans, and Boland Oem., Pa, led off
in favor of Volstead modification; to
be followed by Yandell Henderson, OF
Yale university.
The professor of physiology said he
wanted it understood that I am an
expert on poisons that include al
cohol."
With that, he declared beer of
about 4 per cent is not appreciably
more Intoxicating than an equal VOL
ume of coffee"
Independence for the Philippines,
pledged by the Democratic party, was
taken up as the immediate chief con-
Germ of the senate.
Leaders of both parties looked for
passage of bill by next week. The
measure before them, considered un-
der an agreement made before ad-
iournment of the last session, was
the Hawes-Cutting bill, granting free
dom to the island Is years after pass
age. But changes were forecast,
largely because it conflicts sharply
with the Hare bill-passed by an over
whelming majority by the house last
session-which provides for full free
dom in eight years.
Both bills restrict free importations
but continue those same restrictions
through the transition years. Farm
leaders want free entries lessened af-
ter each year. They also object to the
island plebiscite in the awes-Cutting
bill at the end Of Is years. pending
which full freedom would be withheld.
