put it, you can't dig a street
without a pick. But you can't
keep a fellow from trying, either"
That happens to be Donie's attitude
toward his ball club at the moment, a
hard-luck team that is having ter
rible time humping along in the Ma
tional League cellar. and doubly har-
assed by the fear that the Brooklyn
Dodgers will fall in on top Of them any
moment.
It's a strange coincidence. too, that
little Donie's reference to his ball club
should be couched in terms of digging
in the street, for only last night it was
announced in indianapolis that he was
listed as an incorporation and the In
diana resident agent Of a road material
company just organized there.

mo such thing" said DOME stoutly.
1T don't know enough about that COM
pany to say what it does. Some fell
lows talked to me and said, Yes but
I'm not quitting base ball. That's
cinch."
DOME Is another of the National
League managers who believes, now that
the first shock Is over, that Bill Terry's
Giants are going to win themselves
pennant
THE Cubs will be tough If they ever
get back to their home park within
reaching distance he said. They're
terrors there, even If they can't win on
the road. The Pirates pitching is weak.
the Cards are still dangerous, but watch
those Boston Braves. They might be
the surprise Of the bunch
But don't be fooled" he warns,
about the Giants not being able to
hit. No ones hit much this year. And
when a pitchers got Terry, Mel OFT
and Lefty ODoul coming at him in q
row, he's looking at hitters. And their
pitching? There's been nothing like 1t

May 26 to June %, both dates inclusive.
ran his latest offensive fling to %
games yesterday when he cracked
double off Milt CASTOR in the eighth
inning. 1t was in this town on June "a
that Manush's first streak was ended by
CASTOR and Red Faber, Castor hurting
eight innings of the game. For time
yesterday it looked as though CASTOR
might check the big Dutchman again.
The first three times Manush went to

Manush has not done such hashy
hitting in this streak as he did In the
earlier one But in 81 times at bat IN
the "A games he has made 80 hits Tor
an average of .345. That is seven points
better than his batting record Tor the
season.
WhitehilPs victory over the
White Sox was his sixth in sue
cession, and he has gone the
route the last three times on the
hill. He now is only a game shy
Of his major league mark for VIC

that twice while hurting for the

above the 20-win line this time.

during the Tuesday set-to. Lew
suuaWked plenty when Crowder's drive
that he thought foul was ruled
two-base hit by Kolls. At the time
Kolls simply retired Fonseca to the
bench, but after receiving the umpires
report of the incident Bill Harridge,
the league president, ordered the man

TTERE in Chicago they're rushing

manager. Gossip seems to try TO
make q place for Babe Ruth, the tot

of the club are misleading in their
statements, Lew still will be In charge
of the White Sox next year. Both Lou
Comiskey, the president, and Harry
Grabiner, the vice president, declare
they are satisfied with his work.
OF course they ,oould like to
see the White Sor higher In the

the fault of the management.
Fans here feel that Fonseco has

feel that the ownership is doing
all it can to get better material.
Fonseca is popular with his players.
He has the good will and the best

The White Sox, though, need i'm

of censorship. They promote, man

TINE latest high explosive ex-

recalls the fact even Babe
Ruth's all-time home-run record
is no longer safe.
With the Babe approaching
TOO four-base collections, there
seemed to be little chance that
any rival would ever get within
sightseeing distance of this mark
one Of the greatest in all sport.
But there are certain details to be
considered The Babe accumulated
most Of these homers in the last II
years, after leaving the pitching box in
1919 to take up home running for his
profession.
Jimmy Foxx, with running start, Is
now only 26.
He was born in October, 1907, at
Sudlersville, Nd. under the classic
monicker Of James Emory Foxx. He Is
still two months short Of 26 and he Is
now serving his ninth year as q big
Lacquer.
He played 10 games with the
Athletics in 1925 when he was II
years old, batting .667 for
starter.
A 6-footer, who weighs 200
pounds, there Is nothing fran
about his physical makeup and
he should be good for at least IA
more seasons.
Last year Foxx pounded out nearly
60 homers. This year he should do as
well or better. At anything like this
same rate he at least has the chance
to crowd the Babes all-time harvest.
In addition to q great pair Of shoul-
ders, Foxx has q pair Of hands, wrists
and arms that would make Mr.. Long
fellows village blacksmith look like
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
He has great eye and keen sense
Of timing, and II there Is any one who

"TNSTEAD OF DICTATORSHIP, y
Il by Henry Hazlitt, proposes one
of the most far-reaching political
reforms ever suggested in this coun-
try; and if, as suspect, it will win
few converts, it at least is qualified
to serve the very useful purpose of
stirring up a lot of wholesome dis
cuSSion.
Hazlitt points, first Of all, to the
unacceptable fact that our present
form of federal government is ex-
ceedingly clumsy and inefficient.
But he does not believe that these
faults are inherent in democracy
itself; they arise, he says, simply
because our governmental frame
work creates them.
In place of president and congress,
Hazlitt would have a national coun-
Gil of twelve legislators, chosen at
large by proportional representa-
ton.
If any candidate got more than
half the f1rst-choice votes, he would
be president; if not, the council
would elect one of its own number
president. The right of veto would
be greatly modified All hands
would stand for reelection every
two years.
All of this may not appeal to you
very greatly. But it does provoke
thought about the fundamentals of
our government, and for that rea-
son it seems to me to be a useful,
as we'll as readable, little article.

Gerardo Machado. exiled former
dictator of Cuba, will spend less
than three months in Canada and
may go from Montreal to Paris or
southern France to live, it was
learned today.
Machado has been granted per-
mission by the Canadian govern
ment to stay in his country for three
months. but julius Brown, spokes-
man for the former Cuban presi-
dent, said today that he will not
stay for the duration of this per-

The general and members of his
party are understood to fear the
rigorS of a Canadian winter, pre-
ferring to find a warmer climate.
Dispatches from Philadelph@
Friday night indicated that two of
MachadoS daughters and their
four children-the Sanchez and
Obregon families-had left their
hotel in that city to motor to New
York, where they were to entrain
for Montreal
Sonora Machado, wife of the ex-
president, left Montreal Friday
night with her daughter, Sonora
Baldomero Grau, her son-in-law,
and her 12-year-old granddaughter,
Maria. She indicated that she would
stay in either New York of Phila-

trips added to their curriculum.
Hills L. Howies, the new director

outdoor education for boys and
girls. Since the school stands for
the learning-by-doing technique,

not too far away in the wilds of
Indiana where the children may re-

groups of boys and girls and their
families.
The orchard School is the only
private co-educational school in In
dianapolis, and offers classes for
boys and girls from kindergarten
through Junior high school. The
school was started in 1922 in an old
residence and orchard on North
Meridian street by a small group of
parents who wished their children
to have the advantages of the
progressive methods in education.
The school has had continuous
growth, and several of its original
principles have been adopted by
both public and private schools.
