National League In Form.

TINE National League race has car
ried out early predictions, which
named at least four clubs to min
gle in the dust of the Summer stretch.
Few picked the New York Giants in this
polite society, but four clubs still re-
main. with a fifth not so far away.
For some time the st. Louis Cardinals
have looked to be top choice. They
have the better combination Of pitching
and hitting-the two main foundations
upon which base ball still stands.
Dean, Carleton and Hallahan make
I'D a formidable cluster for any stretch
running. They are all young and can
stand the pressure. Dean Is . truck

They are all young stars, improving
steadily through experience. They are
a big jump over last year. And Jack
Crawford is no small part of the big
hurdle, England, the United States and
France may have to face.

Yankees Face Hard Tussle.

INSTEAD of leaving wrecked league
behind at the halfway mark, the
Yankees now face one of their hard
est fights to win.
The Yankees and Senators have ap-
proximately 10 games left. 1t remains
to be seen whether or not Joe McCar-
thy's hired men can emerge from their
trance and get going again with some
of their 1882 stuff.
They must beat a team which for
more than six weeks has drawn better
pitching and more consistent hitting,
and also a team which has outhustled
them two to one.
They have been badly outplayed for
more than six weeks. The Yankees had
the pennant won. The Senators fig
ured they still had to win twin it on
the ball field, not on copy paper.
But the Yankees are no longer over
confident, whatever other faults their
systems may carry. Joe Mccarthy saw
this danger at the start. But it Is diff
cult to switch the psychology of more
than 20 over-confldent athletes, espe-
cially when these athletes had the rec
ords of 1882 and the start of 1888
strung out in large type.

TODAY they all realize the job that
they must handle-from Ruth and

Senators have been a much better ball
team than they looked to be-
The Yankees haven't been as good
as they thought they were-good enough
to win without any extra strain.
This should make an interesting race
the rest Of the way. As usual it re-
manned for Babe Ruth to start the big
halfway rally with the old cannonade.
What they need now is better pitch
ing, and unless they get this Wash
ington will win to a certainty.

CIVIL SERVICE IS
PRAISED

The civil service system can be
thanked for much Of Washing
tons development, according to
President Thomas E. Campbell, Of
the Civil Service Commission, who
in a radio talk last night pointed
out that under the old spoilS sys-
tenn of Federal jobs few Govern
ment workers felt secure enough
to buy or build homes.
Speaking over station VOL on
the fiftieth anniversary of the
enactment of the original civil
service law, under President CheS-
ter A. Arthur, Campbell declared
that even with the economy act
and pay cuts, Federal employees
today are ''in clover" compared to
those prior to 1888.
The commission head, using the
topic Fifty Years Of Progress in
the Civil Service" insisted that
the coming change of administra-
tion on March need not alarm
any classified civil service EN-.

ROOSEVELT AS
PEACE HOPE
Foreign Policy Secretary Says
Stimson Policies Will
Be Continued

DR.. James G. Mcdonald, execu-
tive secretary Of the Foreign
Policy Association, Of New York,
today told delegates to the eighth
Conference on the Cause and
Cure of War, at the washington
Hotel, that the Roosevelt ad-
ministration does not intend to
scuttle the Stimson policies as
they apply to the Far East.
DR.. Mcdonald drew this con-
clusion from latest developments
in washington and Geneva which
show, he said, that "the great
powers appear at last to be work.
ing together to vindicate those
treaties and international inSti-
tutions on which the hope OF
world peace depends"
He said:
"The United States is MAIN
tanning unyieldingly the So
called StimsOn doctrine Of re-
fusing to recognize gains made
in Manchuria in violation Of
obligations under the Nine
Power Treaty and the BRAND
Kellogg Pact" ......,
Secretary of State Stimson's
conference with President ELECT
Roosevelt was cited as a formid-
able sign that the incoming adj
miniStration would continue
policies now in vogue-even
though Mr.. Roosevelt has made
no such statement, Mcdonald
said. He added:
Apparently, there is to be a
considerable measure Of con-
tinuity Of policy in this i'm
pOrtant phase Of American
foreign relations"
Speakers at the conference
held out hope for improvement
in the peace outlook this year.
Still, the belief is, voiced by NC
Donald, that "the world will have
to undergo another tragedy,
much more terrible than the
World War, to learn its lesson" +"
DR.. Mary E. Wooley, president
Of Mount Holyoke College, told
of the work done in Geneva to-
ward "the framing Of Rerma-

KNIFE RELIEVES
GLUTTON FISH

Fish make gluttons Of them
selves Just as SnakeS-and small
boys sometimes do, and the lat
est example is that Of q burbot,
or fresh water cod, at, the aquar-
illln Of the Bureau Of Fisheries.
A three-pound burbot had a
cannibaliStic urge. but his ambi-
tlon proved greater than his
capacity, and the one-and- -one-half
pound burbot he tried to swallow
stuck.
SO today, aquarium visitors saw
3 fish swimming around with a
tail at both ends, the small fish
hall. way down the throat of the
large one. Director Fred Orsinger
soon amputated the excess vic
tiln.fish with q Scalpel, and the
large fish can now shut his jaws
and all is quiet along the Western
front Of wall pools.

BONUS BACKERS
RENEW FIGHT

Leaders in the drive for
immediate payment Of the soldiers
bonus were planning today to
renew their efforts to support q
bill similar to the Patman bill
Of the last session which passed
the House but not the Senate.
The bill written by Repre-
sentative Patman Cd, Of Texas,
chairman Of the World War
soldiers bloc in the House, pro-
vided for expansion Of currency
to supply funds with which to
liquidate the World War adjusted
compensation certificates. Pat
man said:
1--WE could issue an additional
$5,O0O, ,OO0,O in United States
notes and still have the 40 per
cent gold reserve at present re-
quired by law"
Although a Presidential veto is
expected should the measure pass
both houses, it Is almost certain
the Executive negative could not
be overriden. Realizing this, Pat
man said he would push for con-
sideration In order to get q de-
finite congressional expression on
the proposal for the guidance Of
future congresses.

There are thousands Of young

many more at home, discOur-
