His father was Ogden Mills and he acclImu-
lated so much money in the course Of his long
career exploiter that the property after his
death was administered through what is known
as the Mills Estate. Inc, OF which Ogden L.

At the time when Mills, as g Congressman was
fighting any attempts even to regulate" the
power companies in their stealing operations. IL
was revealed. much TO his chagYin. that he and
his family were interested TO the extent OF
$l,662,000 in the Niagara Falls Power Co. the
stock OF which jumped up when 1t was merged
with larger company.
Perhaps his most important connection. from
the point Of view Of tbs labor movement. Is the

The Lock-Ou of the Illinois Miners

more than 10000 miners who have been employed
till April work only part time. The present
wages the miners receive are starvation wages
already and further reductions in wages means
misery, starvation and death to the miners and
their families
Under the leadership of the rank and file
committees in the UNdWA the policy of the boss
es, supported by the bureaucrats, can be de-
feated. The miners can achieve their victory BY
showing their militancy and struggle against the
bosses attack and against starvation wages.

Of money has been used to boost the plan but
hardly cent has gone for unemployment relief.

Since this was written they have placed 100

Favorite With Ruth

No man on the Yankees is
fonder of Dickey than is the
big, clustering Babe Ruth.
The older and more level
heads of the team swear by
Bill and explain his blow off"
here as the result of pent-up
feelings over a series of bump
1ngs and Spikings he had been
taking, particularly in Boston.
They say it was a very hui
man streak in Dickey, one
which most people display
from tim to time, that when
he had stood about as much
jostling as possible at the
plate his normally mild tenn
per crystalized in that sock
to the point of Reynolds jaw.
Dickey was a crushed man
when he came to the full real
1zation of what had transpired.
He was the picture of sorrow
and detection on the trip
away from Washington. He
has suffered mentally as much
as Reynolds has suffered physi-
cally, and not in the sense
that he has ever been a fighter
afield, until July 4, but he
will never take another poke
at ball player again as long
as he is in uniform, or other
wise.

KLEIN CREEPS
NEAR FOXX

Chuck Klein's feat in hitting
his thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth
homers as the Phils scored an
8-to-1 win over the Braves yes
terday brings to mind the fact
that the home-run output of the
leader, Jimmy FoXX. has fallen off
so alarmingly that he probably
will not crack Babe Ruth's rec
ord of so circuit CloutS in a sea-
son.
Foxx hit his forty-first homer
on July q and his forty-Second on
August 5, since when he has hit
exactly none. In mid-July he
seemed certain to beat Ruth's rec
ord. Now he must Wallop 10
homers in 43 games to turn the
trick. On July 27 FoxX was II
up on Klein and IS up on Ruth.
Today the Maryland farmer boy
leads Klein by only seven and
Ruth by 10.
A sloppy play cost the AS a
ball game yesterday when Catch
er Mickey Cechrane returned
one of Earnshaws deliveries with
undue enthusiasm. Big George
dropped the ball and Rhyme
dashed home from third with
BoStons first run. Jolley's
homer in the sixth enabled
Poison Ivy" Andrews, the for
mer Yankee pitcher, to win a
2-to-1 decision over EarnshaW.
Meanwhile Cleveland tied the
AS for second place by beating
Detroit again, 81. Clint Brown
outpitched Sorrell and helped
win his own game with a timely
double.
The pennant-mad Brooklyn
Dodgers took third place in the
National League, passing Boston,
as Watson Clark limited the
Giants to four hits and won a
1-to-O verdict over Fat Freddy
Fitzsimmons. Strip doubled IN
the fifth and scored on O'Doul's
hit and a sacrifice. Brooklyn
made II hits, but was held back
by six double plays on the part
of the Giants, tying the major
league record for a nine-inning
game.

gray; high cheek bones and a
square chin-unmistakable signs
of athletic greatness. She is with
out fullness of lips; her mouth is
almost a straight cash through
the thin flesh of her face, which
reveals white and fairly even
teeth when she smiles.
Hers is a husky voice, heavily
freighted with a Texas tWang.
Sometimes she speaks rapidly,
jerkily; at other times with a

is there boasting. She is modest

Fascinating Girl
She is a girl "of bewildering
contrasts. She fascinates with the
change in her moods which seem
to transform her from girl to
boy-and back again.
Talking of her beloved Texas,
of her kid days, of her brothers
and sister, her father and mother,
or of things beyond sports, she is
all girl, with all the charm of
feminity.
Shift conversation to athletics
and a change comes, almost dra-
matte in its SuddenneSS.
This, coupled with the close
cropped hair, tends to destroy
the picture of the girl who was
just before your eyes, and brings
into vision a boy. with a bows

Entrant in 636 athletic duels
over a span of little more than
three years and winner of 634.
No record like this in the an
nails of sport.
The other occasion when she
was awarded only a silver medal,
instead of the golden one that is
emblematic of the queenship, was
last Sunday, when she twice
shattered the world record for
the high jump and then was de-
prived of the high honors by two
weird rulings by officials.
The first time she cleared the
bar at feet 6 inches. After
landing, her foot kicked the. sup
porting pole, jarring the bar and
causing it to fall. She was en-
titled to the glory of having made
a clean clearance. But the Of
ficials denied her that. 30 she
scared again, cleared the top,
never kicked the pole, and the
bar remained firm in its mooringS.
Awarded Second LaureIS
After which those strange
judges declared that she had
taken dive over the bar. which
is prohibited by the rules. They
denied her another chance, and
thus the girl who twice had
cracked a world record was
awarded nothing better than
second laurelS.
What manner of girl is this
whose exploits have gained her
world renoWn. who is a champion
of champions and does herculean
things with a lazy nonchalance?
She admits to 5 feet inches
and 126 pounds. But neither in
track toggery nor in street attire
does she seem to bulk better
than lis. Not an ounce of fat
on her body; no iota of flabby
flesh. No muscles are visible
except when she is in action.
Then they can be seen to ripple
beneath her skin that has grown
bronze from days under the
Scorch of sunshine.

The Griffs are comforting
themselves today with the old
adage that home is the best place
after ALL
Having enjoyed being home a
full day by virtue of yesterdays
off day in the schedule. these
same said Griffs we're ready to
begin a home stand this after

happier times and more victories
than turned in during their recent
Western trip.
Lead Over Yanks
Naturally the Griffs hold hopes
of starting on a new winning path
against the Yankees this week end
One thing about it, Manager
Johnson's men have held a GER
tain spell over the Yanks this sea-
son. when it has come to beating
them at Griffith Stadium.
Briefly, the Yanks have fallen
something like seven times before
the Griffs when they have met
them here. The McCarthymen
have made this up, however, by
winning almost at will whenever
the Griffs have played at New
York.
One Game Advantage
The Griffs hold a one-game ad.
vantage over the league leaders,
however, in the little matter of
games played during the course of
the season. The records reveal
that in II contests, Manager
Johnson's team has won in nine
of them. Not such bad showing
when thought is taken on the
generally known greater strength
of the Yanks over the Griffs as a
team.
An investigation is to be taken
in the case of Bobby Burke,
pitcher, who. after having been
sent to the Chattanooga club, de-
clared that he was not in shape.
Owner Griff plans to find out
whether Burke is in shape or not,
and if it's just a matter of stub
bornness on the part of Burke,
will fine the left-hander and suS,
pend him for an indefinite period.

Reynolds is Calm

Dickey seemed glad to know
when he reached Washington
that Reynolds conduct since
the incident has been that of a
gentleman and sport. Told that
anything he had read or heard
about the incident had come
from others than Reynolds,
Dickey was quite moved.
Not one complaining word
has come from Carl, Dickey
was assured when he reached
Washington Thursday night.
No personal resentment, no
threats, no desire for retribu-
tion, no vindicativeness, no in
tolerence and least of all no
intention to seek legal redress
have been in ynolds'
thoughts.
He has taken the whole situa-
ton like a major. He has
been patient in his GONZALES

Whatever soreness there may
be remaining in his chin. there
is none above it, and the
chances are today or tomorrow
that if Reynolds and Dickey's
paths cross, there will be a
handshake and a grin. and the
whole matter will be dismissed
as far as they personally are
concerned.
They're like that-both of

Punching out low scores on the
Chevy Chase course this past
week has been the habit of the
District amateur golf champion,
Harry G. Pitt, of the Manor

Chevy Chase.
The Manorite continued his
phenomenal shooting yesterday
with a 10, one over par. He was

Pitt played with Roland Mac

Freddy Mcleod. It was Mac
kenzie's first golf trek in several
weeks and. owing to his recent
operation, he played but nine
holes. He was fatigued and he
may rest until Tuesday. Roland
was 81 for his nine. indicating
his game has suffered none by his
lay-off. Pitt played an additional

McCallum and Fowler carded a
better ball of 80 on the inward
