ever, the stuff brings no more than
it is worth, for 1t represents enterprises
that have seen their day and for which
there Is no future.
The main motive Of these auctions is
to permit investors to establish losses
which will reduce the amount of income
tax they must pay the following year to
the Government. So they scrape up all
safe deposit boxes and lay 1t on the
block. The practice of bidding in
securities is a comm0, one where there
Is prospect of ultimate recovery. 1t Is
also popular to pass ownership on to
a member of family or nominee
who Is the representative Of the owner.
This procedure is likely to be aban-
doned as the Treasury finds time to
stop the eVaSions of income tax pay
mentS.
New Types Appear.
For many years the auction sales

Of old mining and Oil stocks that an

to have fallen to small figure There

the issues of investment trusts, of

games? Well, s:r, the first four
innings gave this impression. The
Griffs, for example, opened the
contest by scoring two runs on
singles by Myer, ManuSh and
Harris, Cronin's sacrifice coming
in between.
The Tigers came right back to
tie the count at 2-all when Rogell
doubled and Fox, Walker and
Greenberg singled. They then
went one run in the van by
knocking Earl Whitehill out of
the box in the third when Walk
er singled, Schultz dropped Dol
jacks fly and Owen singled to
right.
Here Jack Russell rushed to the
box and retired the side on a
double-play after walking Hay
worth.
The GriffS took the fourth to
deadlock the score again when
Harris walked, Schultz singled,
Kuhel sacrificed and Sewell hit
a long fly to Fox, Harris scoring.
Cronin and his gang went into
the lead for the first time in the
fifth when Myer singled, and
Manush and Schultz doubled for
two runs. This made the score 5
to 3 at this stage.
Here's a good one. Al Schacht,

were at bat in the sixth. Appar-

to which the latter took eXcep-
ton. At any rate Al was sent
from the game and Johnny Kerr
became the coach at third base
during the remaining innings.

All over but the shouting after
the Griffs' seventh as five runs
were scored. Goose Goslin, up
for Dave Harris because Vic
Frazier, a right-hander, was on
the mound for the Tigers, started
the orgy by socking a home run
over the right field wall. Schultz
followed with a single, Kuhel a
double, SeWell and Russell walked
and Myer had a life on Gehringers

the rally, this bingle being Heinie'S

Goose GoSlin, veteran outfield-
er, had just hit his second home
run of the contest when Manager
Joe Cronin ran out of the Griff
dugout and Rugged the player
warmly, yelling, Alta boy, Goose,

Goslin retaliated by grinning
broadly:
about time 1 was hitting the
ball like I've wanted to all sea-
son. Now, 1 feel right for a
real hitting stretch during the
remainder of the year."
And GooSe's efforts gave out
just that impression yesterday as
those two homers he bounced off
his bat were typical of the Goslin
hits that used to be in the days
when the veteran was breaking
down fences with clock-like regu-
larity.
Goose hit his first homer off
Pitcher Vic Frazier.
Even Harder Hit
GooSe's second clout was off

RAIN PILES Up
TWIN BILLS
ON GIANTS
By COPELAND C. BURG


If the New York Giants fail to
win the National League pennant,
they can blame it on the weather.
Rain and wet grounds have
kept them off the diamond since
Sunday and as a result they will
play double-headers today, Satur-
day and Sunday. The Soggy days
probably have not done the idle
Giants a bit of good and pitching
and throwing arms will be like
brittle China when they trot out
today against the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
While the Giants were catching
up on the latest movies, the Bos-
ton Braves came on with a rush
and yesterday their second
straight defeat of the st. Louis
Cardinals placed them only six
games behind the Terrymen. Ed
Brandt held the Cards to seven
hits against six allowed Boston
by Hallahan, but the Tribe won
in the fifth inning, 4 to 3, when
Pinkey Whitney singled to score
Randy Moore. Boston has won
19 out Of the last Is games.
Yanks Gang Up
New York's Yankees ganged up
on Cleveland, 10 to l, forcing
the Indians to use four pitchers.
Johnny Allen was right, tanning
seven Clevelanders and handing
out only seven safeties.
Guy Bush did some fancy
three-hit hurting to flatten the
Phillies, to 0, and the Cubs
came right back and won the
second game, 9 to 6. Les Schulz
merich cracked a homer with
two on against Bud Timing in
the eighth, but Leroy Hermann
went in for the Bruins and
quelled the riot.
st. Louis sent the great Lefty
Grove to the SpigotS, overcame a
siX-run lead and won from the
Philadelphia Athletics, 7 to 6, in
an thinning thriller. Burns sin
gled for the winning run. The AS
captured the nightcap, 4 to 3, with
Cain a lucky winner over Hadley
in a hurting duel. Each pitcher
was hit for nine blows.
Appling Triples
Luke Appling sent out a triple
in the tenth, scoring Al Simmons,
as Chicago's White Sox snagged
the finale from the Boston Amer
leans. The Red Sox broke their
nine-game losing streak in the
opener, 6 to l, with Johnny Welch
shutting out the Alabasters until
the ninth.
|, Brooklyn again proved disap-
pointing, winning from Cincy's
Reds, 2 to 0, in the opener, only
to falter in the second tilt and
lose, 3 to 2. Mungo, the only
pitcher of Brooklyn worth bed and
board right now, held the Reds
to seven clouts in his shutout.
