FARM RELIEF CHIEF
D|SL|KES UTOP|AS
George N. Peek Is Linked
With Both Industry
and Agriculture.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Belief that "an scre in Middlesex is
worth a principality in Utopia" is the
sympathetic creed which George NJ
Peek of Moline. ILL.,, will try to put into
practice when he becomes Farm Admin
istrator of the Roosevelt Administra-
ton.
Picked by the President to take one
OF the big jobs Of the Federal Recon-
struction program, Peek fits the picture.
He has the height and bulk of a foot
ball tackle, one of those ruddy corn
belt huskies typical of the rolling
prairie territory. He was born at Polo,
ILL.,, nearly go years ago.
Likes to Go West"
"One of the most earnest and COM
was the way one of his friends de-
scribed him when the selection was
made known.
His new job will be to administer
the farm relief act. dealing particularly
with trade agreements with professors
of agricultural products.
Peek likes to go West" the open
spaces calling him to communion with
the outdoors. Summer time leisure
generally finds him heading for Mon
tana. II he gets a few days off in
winter, he goes to Texas.
In business he is earnest, aggressive,
full of energy.
Learns Both Sides.
BY 80 years in the farm machinery
industry he learned to speak the Ian
guage of both farmer and business
man. He has lot of faith in both.
Peek has medals as proof that at
least some of his ideas worked. He
was member of the War Industries
Board in 1919. The United States
gave him distinguished service medal.
France elected him to her Legion of
Honor and he got crown decorations
from Belgium and Italy.

Dizzy Dean in the senior circuit.
Robert Moses Grove. appearing for
the first time since breaking the
Yankees shutout streak, won his seven
teenth game Of the season as the AS
turned back the Red Sox, but he
needed the help of three home runs,
one of them Jimmie Foxx's thirty
second circuit clout of the season.
The Dodgers and Giants put on
pitching duel between Ray Benge and
Hal Schumacher, and Brooklyn emerged
with the winning run in the eleventh.
Schumacher loaded the bases on two
singles and base on balls but it was
error by Johnny Vergez, just when the
Giants appeared on their way out OF
the hole, that let Pinch Runner Danny
Taylor cross the plate. Benge set the
Giants down with three hits, two OF
them by Schumacher. while his mates
got to the Giant hurler for nine.

Dean establish a new strike-out record,

BY this spot in August the Yankees
were supposed to be about eight games

to break into the first division. The
only trouble with this prophecy is that
it suddenly turned upside down. As
the case is now, it will take some tall
hustling to overtake the Giants and
level the Senators, who have been mov-

no signs of cracking up.
What has happened to the
Yankees?

The answer is simple

few threatening gestures.
Too much big money spoiled them.

The fight game will have to rebuild
itself with some fighters who know how

at least 40 per cent of their pay.
Until this happens the fight game
will remain stone dead. There may be
some things in sport that are worse

With so much money bet in the

~ ing would have come roaring out

While gambling on base ball games
is something the mogulS would rather

it exists, nevertheless, and no matter
how you dislike black eye, either, you
can't hide it from the neighbors.

where they would be at this time If
Goose Goslin had biffed them as high

But these disappointments are some
what made up for by the collapse of

proved to be the biggest pennant bust
in long while. Their descent has not
been steep, not sudden. because they
were beyond a doubt the most powerful

Uncle never figured on the Yanks'
1888 docility.
THEIR is much snorting and pout-
ing on the part of the gal friends
and "you-knoW-me" pals of the
visiting ball players because the boys
cannot give them free tickets to the
ball games at Griff Stadium.
AS result there have been stories
current that Griffith alone Of the A. L.
mogulS put tne pressure on tne anne
Oakleys.
All along the line those who have
been thumbing their way into the ball
park now must pay cash or peep
through knot hole.
And Uncle Grif is not alone in caus-
ing this situation.
From what 1 can learn it is
an American League rule that
players on visiting teams are not
permitted passes. Only eight
tickets are given to the manage
ment of the visiting club. These
are for officials and their friends.
None for the ball players pals.
And if a club official is SHARED
giving one to a ball player, or
ball players pal, the club is fined
$500.
At the Winter meeting of the majors
it was agreed. so 1 am told, that free
trips into the parks be discouraged,
business being what it was and what
1t was likely to be.

N YEW YORK. August 9.-Another
N set-to with the Yanks, weather
permitting-showers were fore
cast for today-and the Ma
tionals will move on to Boston for
three-game fling at the Red Sox.
While these Red Sox are rather
rough playmates these days, the Ma
tionals should find themselves in a
more pleasant spot than the one oc-
cupied by the New Workers. The sec
ond-place outfit will be down in Phila-
delphia battling with the Athletics.
The AS handed the Yanks three sue
cessive trimmings here last week. And
the last time they visited Philadelphia
the Yanks dropped three of four games.
The Nationals have an excellent
chance to add to their league lead be-
fore they return home Sunday for an
other shot at the Yapks. But Cronin
and his charges aren't looking to the
Boston conflicts as "breather"
series.

charged with only defeats. In
the 1880 campaign Earl again
won II games, but he lost IL.
His record for the current campaign
reads IA wins against losses. The
Nationals have to play 81 more games,
including that scheduled for today.
Earl should be sent into at least 10
of them. He ought to beat that 17-won
mark.
FEELING between Nationals and
Yankees is running high in the
series here. but thus far nothing
more than dirty looks and acrimonious
remarks have been exchanged by the
players.
For time yesterday it seemed there
might be something more violent. In
