best in both circuits today, even
barring the Pie Traynors, Pinky
Whitneys and Johnny Vergezs.
Gets Two Hits
Ossie gathered two of his teams
10 hits against Mel Harder yester-
day in that 12-ining game against
the Cleveland Indians. The first
of these came in the second inning
and aided in the coming of the
opening Griff run for the day.
The second came in the eighth
after Kuhel, first baseman, had
famed. This did not figure in
any scoring in this instance as
the next two swatsmiths were
easy out for Harder, who really
hurled a beautiful game for the
Indians.
In the field, Oss handled three
chances without an error. On two
of these he made excellent stops
and quick throws to retire the bat
ter. And were these particular
plays characteristic of the Bluege
fielding? Ohmyohmyohmy!

Maybe McAfee wasn't Gro

talked with him yet today, and
didn't like to approach him
after his teams defeat yester-

wondering if perhaps Joe dlon I

Matter of Hunger

Anyway, we are going to give
Cronin the benefit of the doubt
until we get the matter straight
ened out, We still insist the
wrong guy came from the bull
pen, and if you don't think so,
too, then you weren't among the
ladies who saw Kamm single
and Averill triple there in the
tantalizing twelfth.
That just about ended the
ball game. What happened be-
fore or after doesn't make much
difference in the official pay
off. It's what happened then
and there that counts, no mat

living these days.
It looked for a while like

was q matter of whether the
boys on the field or the girls in
the stands would get hungry
first and go home.
But all hands might have

Indians ahead of the Griffs for
the first time in 30 innings Of

Memories of two unexpected
setbacks probably Jump into the
minds of the Griffs at this time
as the Sox defeated the Griffs
twice out Of a clear sky during
their series here in May, and it
was all Manager Cronin's men
could do to get themselves out of
the rut that the two setbacks
started.
Naturally Manager Cronin and
his gang will be out to keep up
the winning work in their tussles
with the battered Fonseca team
during the next four days. An
other clean sweep will get the
Griffs started on another winning
streak, which was broken by the
Cleveland Indians yesterday after
seven consecutive victories had
been registered.
Too Much Harder
The Griffs lost yesterday to the
Indians because Mel arder,
crafty hight-hander. was very,
very good in the late innings.
The game went IL frames, with
the Indians winning off Bill NC
Afee in the first half of the
twelfth when Kamm singled and
Averill tripled. The inal score was
3 to 2.
Harder granted the Griffs ten
hits in his excellent effort. He
was combed for runs in the
second and third innings but
after the latter frame kept the
Griffs from the counting block,
even to the very end when
Manush singled in the twelfth,
was sacrificed to second by Cos
lin, but who was left stranded
when Cronin flied to Porter and
Schultz bounced to Kamm.
Lefty Walter Stewart was Man
ager Cronin's starting pitcher
for the day. He travelled II
innings before being withdrawn
for Pinch Hitter Cliff Bolton on
the lower end of the eleventh.
Bill McAfee took his place and
as mentioned, was Immediately
reached for the hits which de-
cided the count.
Double Play
After Averill tripled, Uncle Bill
pitched two wide ones to Spencer,
then was sent to the showers in
favor of Jack Russell. This lad
retired Spencer on a fly to
Manush, who in turn, threw out
Averill at the plate completing
a double-play. McAfee, however,
was charged with the loss.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Fully
decided that Jack sharkey will
still prove a drawing card. Madi-
son Square Garden went ahead
today with plans to show the
former heavyweight champion in
New York in September.
Jimmy Johnston, of the garden,
announced he had talked with
sharkey and the Boston sailor
said he had received an offer to
meet King Levinsky in Chicago.
sharkey was promised $25,OOO
for his efforts.
The. former heavyweight king
told Johnston he wanted to meet

would serve as a tuning-up for a
battle here in September against

inning when Kuhel and Bluege
singled, Sewell sacrificed and
Stewart grounded to Boss, Kuhel
scoring. The second counter
arrived in the third when Cronin
walked and Schultz drove a long
double down the left field line.
Hale's homer scored the first
Indian run in the second while
singles by Kamm and Boss and
Spencer's infield out, counted the
other in the seventh. This
marker tied the score until
Averill's triple broke the deadlock
in the twelfth.

No matter how much Of a
home town fan you may be,
you've got to admit that the
latent power which has been
apparent in the Indians, par
ticularly since Walter johnson
took hold, finally came to life
i'm fact just in time to prevent
the Indians from being the
victims of a clean sweep on
Walters initial managerial ap"
pearance here in Indian regalla.

s46O,OOO FOREST HIGHWAY MONEY NOW RELOCATED
Flory Advised of Allotment to Alaska-Asked to
 Submit Program

Four hundred and ten thousand dollars has been allocated to Alaska for Forest Highways and general improvements, including trails, ac- cording to official advices received here late yesterday by c. III. Flory, Regional Forester, from Washing ton, D. c. The funds are part of the public works relief money ap- propriated by Congress under the National Recovery Act.
 Of the total, $350, 900 is for For est Highways and the balance for general improvement and trails. MT. Flory was directed to submit a program for immediate considera- tion and approval.
 No detailed program is available for publication at this time, he said. However, projects will be selected at the centers of greatest unemployment. Those that will absorb the largest number of un- employed and on which work can be started without delay, will be given preference. It is expected that considerable day labor work will be undertaken in carrying out the program.

NEW YORK, July 20. - Stocks plunged downward today in thick clouds of gloom as grains and cot ton suffered the worst collapse of the year
 The dollar scared on foreign markets.

WORLD MARKET | CAL CHAMBER
 FOR NEW GOLD ASKS FISHERIES
 BEING SOUCHTSTUDY BE MADEI
Asks Gov. Troy to Seek $25,000 from Govern
 ment for P,uropose

An allotment of $25 900 for a fisheries survey in Alaska waters is suggested by the Chamber of Commerce, to be had from the public works relief funds, in a resolution adopted by it today by a unanimous vote. It is addressed to Gov John w. Troy, who is urged to include the project on the Alaska program.
 The resolution was introduced by F. H. Foster, who said he had discussed the matter with Com missioner Frank T. Bell of the Bu- reau of Fisheries. He pointed out that for several years, Japanese vessels had operated in Boring Sea waters, packing king crab that in turn are imported into the United States in competition with local products.
 Text of Resolution
 The text of the resolution fol- lows:
 Whereas; the present fishing season in Alaska continues but a short period of time, leaving the fishing population of this terri tory without occupation for the greater part of the year, and:
 Whereas; the waters of the Ter ritory of Alaska abound in valuable food fish of which very limited commercial use has been made as compared to the ultimate develop ment of such resources given an adequate survey and examination of the same, which survey has never been made; and:
 Whereas; comprehensive sur vey and mapping of the waters of the territory would, in our opin- ion, disclose vast banks of spider or king crab of which Japan is now exporting to the United States more than half a million cases per year valued at more than eight million dollars annually. additional halibut and cod banks, resources of shrimp and scallop and many oth- CT commercially valuable fisheries; and
 Whereas the development of these fisheries will inevitably fol- low such marine survey, bringing to the fishing population of this Territory a source of year-round employment which will greatly as- sist in overcoming the distress and suffering which many of our peo- pie are now experiencing; and
 Whereas; by the terms of the National Recovery Act, sums of money have been made available to the use of the States and Territor- ies for expenditure in meritorious projects for the relief of distress ful economic conditions among the people of the United States:

 In the matter of imitation, he has exercised virtually none of the inflationary powers given him by Congress Apparently, he is giving no thought whatever to using the extreme power of revaluing the gold dollar,
 Most recently the public works and railroad coordination programs have been thrust into the center of this general controversy.
 Some of those highest in ad ministration counsels would rather not spend penny of the $3,300,- 100000 authorized for public works. With thousands going back to work in normal activities, they argue that vast employment expendi- lures no longer are necessary, and that the projected issue of public works bonds just now would do more harm than good.
 So far, the new railroad admins tration scarcely has turned wheel, except for mediation in a wage dispute.
 While it was getting ready, car loadings jumped so unexpectedly that the men higher up began wondering whether it might not be better to let nature apply her own restoratives.
