Specific Case of Hardship

In the railway mail service Of the

according to legislation, cut is per cent
In salary. the travel allowance was cut
about two-thirds Of the whole, the night
dif1erential, which means the 10 per
cent additional paid for night work,
was cut In half. In some cases the ex-
pense Of travel is greater than the al
lowance. Runs on lines were readjust-
ed, consultations were made and the
number OF men In crews was cut In
many cases the distance covered by q
crew was doubled. At the dawn of the
fiscal year nine-day furlough for the
first quarter Of the year was invoked,
presumably to obviate the necessity for
dismissals. A pay check that had nor
mally been $110 for the half month be-
came SAT. Clerks affected have excel

"A YEW YORK, May 22.-The s.

at the mercy of Mrs. Silas
B. Mason's Head Play, now is a
wide-open affair as a result OF
Head Plays disappointing show

Jamaica Saturday.
The Wood was run over mile ana
10 yards. much shorter distance than
either the Preakness or the Kentucky
Derby, with Head Play giving weight to
three rivals, but the way he ran either
Mrs. James NJ Austin's Mr.. Khayyam,
the winner, or H. C. Phipps De Valera,
the second place horse, could have con-
ceded weight to the Kentucky colt and
still led him to the judges STAND. Al
the finish Head Play was seven lengths
back of Mr.. Khayyam and tralled
De Valera by four.
Both Mrs. Mason and Trainer Tom
Hayes naturally were disappointed at
the colts showing. but they announced
they would go ahead with the schedule
planned. The colt was to leave Jamaica
today for Chicago. where he will go into
training for the $25 900 American Derby
at Washington Park June 8. Other i'm
mediate engagements include the La
tonia Derby the latter part of June and
the $35, 900 classic at Arlington Park in
July.
WITH Head Play not eligible for
w either the Withers or the Bel
mont Stakes and not many Of the
crack Eastern 3-year-oldS expected to
go West for the American Derby, the
Arlington Classic now shapes up as the
race in which the divikon's champion
ship will be decided definitely. The
Eastern colts are expected to remain at
home for the $4,000 Belmont. which
will be run on June 10, week after the
American Derby.
Two colts and one filly which did not
face the barrier in either the Derby.
Preakness or Wood must be considered
if they run back to their juvenile form.
The colts are Mrs Payne Whitney's
Dynastic and c. " Whitney's The Darb.
The filly is Adolphe Pons' Swivel. which
captured the 1882 Pimlico Futurity and
then won galloping her first time out
this year. Swivel was taken sick a week
before the Derby.
Mr.. Khyyam, which set a track record
in winning the Chesapeake Stake at
Havre de Grace prior to the Derby may
go on to offer the others an argument.
Although eighth at Churchill Downs,
the son of the 1917 Derby winner. Omar
Khayyam, is bred to go the route, and
his run through the stretch at Jamaica
Saturday indicated he had just reached
his best form. De Valera apparently is

HARRIS COMEDIES
PENNANT TO YANKS
Ruth Slowed, but He's Still
q Terror With ShiIlelah,
Says Tiger Pilot.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

- TANLEY HARRIS, here with
- his Tigers to open series
\ against the Griffmen today,
when he is dignifled and be-
ing interviewed, thinks the Yam
KEGS will win the American League
pennant again this year. The
Detroit manager promises to give
the Yanks as much opposition as
possible, but he realizes as well
as the next one the utter impos-
sibility of trying to beat four aces
with a full house or anything OF
lesser caliber.
ut seems to me-" said Bucky, re-
flectively, that I didn't claim very
much for the Tigers this year. Why
should I? I didn't claim anything out
of reason last year, either"
What makes you think the Yankees
have such an excellent chance to win?"
ssTHEY have perfect confidence in
i each other and in the team as a
whole. Now, take Ben Chapman
as an example. don't believe that any
one in base ball. and that includes all
of his team mates, thought he would
be one of the leading batters of the
American League right at this time or
any other. You would have picked
Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri or Combs, but
I don't believe in advance you would
have thought of Chapman. He is up
there now and the members Of his
{,,et ~ hoiro af hin,
are glad that he Is there and hope he
will keep it up, just SO long as the
honor falls to a New York player.
Babe Ruth probably has seen his
best days. He can't run as fast as for
merly. I guess that fact is preety well
settled among all base ball men. But
he has not lost his ability to come
along at just the right time and crack
the ball to the fence and send runners
home, even if he doesn't make more
than two bases on the hit himself. He
may be gone tomorrow, next month, or
the month after. No one knows when he
will be gone. He has stood up there
nearly as long as I can remember and
has whipped balls to the fences and
over the heads Of the flelders.
..VIIHEN Ruth leaves the team to
w accept some other job, won t
be afraid of New York as am
now The very name of Babe Ruth car
ries fear into the hearts of opposing
players.
This New York team carries a line
up of good batters, every one of them.
I regret to say We have got to come
back East and play the Yankees in two
more series before the season is at an
end. BY that time We may have one or
two new players, but I am mighty sure
there will be no Babe Ruth among
them"

y to increase their effectiveness.
Others have muscle manipula-
tors work on strained shoulders that
strength may be restored to. their salary
whips. But Walter Miller has verte
brae snapped back into place and hurls
tWo-hit game.
That fine performance by Miller for
the White Sox in Griffith Stadium was
his first in the American League in
several seasons. He is the same Miller
who used to left-hand his way so sturd-
lily against the Nationals and other rivals
of the Indians back in '25 and on
through 20. Then his arm began to
fail him and after the 80 campaign
he dropped out of big time.
He attempted to make go of 1t
with Indianapolis in the American
Association, but his arm seemed gone
and the base ball folks gave him up.
Miller didn't give up. though. He went
from doctor to doctor finally to dis
cover the trouble was not in his arm,
but in his back. An adjustment was
made, after a time Miller tested the
arm anu lOuIlo Ilc SOulu IlAOH WAtA
strength again.
A free agent. he persuaded the White
Sox to give him a job this Spring. He
did not do much other than pitch to
batters in practice for weeks. Then
Manager Lew Fonseca tried him twice
in relief roles. His last relief work
was against the Nationals in Chicago
a week ago yesterday. Then he was
well thumped in the one and one-th1rd
innings he toiled.
He kept after Fonseca for a start
ing trial, though, and yesterday he
got his chance. The way he moved
down the Nationals in the to 0 game
must have convinced Fonseca this left
handler soon will be worth trying again.
ONLY five Nationals got on the run
~ way-Miller yielded three passes
beside the two hits-and but one
got as far as second base. Sewell, who
walked at the start of the sixth in
ming. was sacrificed to that station by
AL Crowder.
The first hit of Miller was scratchy
affair. With one out in the first in
ming. Manush drove the ball toward
short Appling cuffed down the ball,
picked it up and threw to first just
too late to flag the runner. But Cos
lin flied out and Cronln famed. IL
was the first of five strikeouts Miller
recorded.
Manush walked at the beginning Of
the fourth, but. after Goslin flied out.
was caught in a double-play with
Cronin.
The second and last hit of Miller
was a clean drive to center by Goslln
at the start of the seventh inning. The
Goose stood on first to watch Cronln
fly out, Kuhel be retired by Swanson's
great catch of foul and Boken, bat
ting for Travis, roll to the second base
man.
Sewell was the last National to get
on. He drew his second pass with one
out in the eighth. Up came Kerr to
bat for Crowder and drill into a two
way erasure.
Miller didn't flash any speed, but
he did show a superb curve OF which
he had excellent control. He had the
Nationals left-hand batters backing
from the plate almost every time he
threw it and every time 1t was called
a strike the batter harangued the
umpire That's how good Millers
curve was.
AL CROWDER, out for his sixth win

season, took his third beating IN
