BY virtue Of his fine showing
he became one Of several rookie
sensations of the eventful cam
paign. But with all his success
he was not ranked as the best
newcomer in the world because
many Of his games were won for
him by the hitting his mates un-
corked behind his pitching, not
only from the start Of the cam
paign but to the very end.
This year, as most every serious
minded baseball fan knows,
Monte has had his troubles reach
ing the form that was his in the
"palmy" days of 1882. After
pitching one or two passable
games during the first few weeks
Of the campaign, his work fell
off to such a low standard that
Manager Cronin was forced to
keep him on the sidelines
throughout the entire month of
June.
Late in July the young pitcher
found out what was ailing him.
1t was his stomach. Follow.
ing several visits to a physician,
Monte felt himself coming
around" again-in fact, so much
so that he was given a trial on
the mound by Manager Cronin
during the latter part of July.
In this test, Monte gave several
indications of being right" once
more.
Best Work Of Year
Weaver made this all the more
certain by another performance
a little later on against the New
York Yankees in which he set
that club down with seven hits
while winning a 4-to-1 game. In
this contest he pitched better
than at any other time in his
days as sensation during 1892
while his value to his club rose
twofold all the while.
Yesterday Monte went in"
again for another Of his tests
in the third game of the cur.
rent series with the Chicago
White Sox.
He came through with flying
colors as he held the Sox to
four hits while the Griffs banged
the Chisox hurlers for Is hits
and a 14-to-1 victory.
Now the beauty of Weaver's
work yesterday was this: At no
time did he look on the verge of
collapse, as his pitching through
out was an exhibition Of careful
ness and GOODNESS personified-
something that was far from his
grasp in 1882 when he was chalk
ing up victory after victory.
Weaver. by winning, chalked up
his seventh triumph of the cam
paign. The GriffS, in the mean
while, made it their ninth in
row while they also made it their
third straight over the Sox for the
current series.
Griffs Rout 4 Pitchers
To go into complete detail
would take up too much space
here, but let it be said the Griffs
did everything in a hitting way
to rout the four pitchers Acting
Manager Jimmy Austin sent to
the mound. The first victim was
Walter Miller, who had beaten
the Griffs three times before yes
terday, while the others were
Chad Kimsey, Harold Haid and
the veteran Red Faber.

The high.handicap golfer some

Earle Chesney, a 25-handicap
member of the Congressional
Country Club. tells friends of the
spectacular nine-hole round, ex-
periencing the thrill that comes
to every golfer.
Chesney shot the back nine in

golfer would like to do the dis
tance in similar figures. Besides.
Chesney carved out a As for the
first nine, giving him 80 for the
entire 18 holes, leaving him but
eight strokes over par.
Handicaps Due Decline
1t goes to show that a golfer.
when in the midst of a hot
streak. can climb to great heights.
Chesney's handicap is due for
sharp cut because of his round of
go. That's the penalty for dip
ping into the low scores.
Eddie Stevens. assistant pro at

Billy Dettweiler is evidently re-

was playing with George McGehee.

Spectively, put the game far out
Of the Sox reach-all of which
made it easy for Weaver to coast
through the last few innings with
plenty to spare.
Fred Schultz came out of a pro-
tracted batting slump by socking
out three hits in four trips to the
plate. Two of these bingles were
doubles while his single in the
first inning came with the bases
full and drove over two runs. Joe
Kuhel, with a single, double and
triple, costarred with Schultz,
while Moe Berg, who subbed for
Luke SeWell after the third,
socked out a homer with two on
base.
Sewell, incidentally, will be back
in today's game full of his usual
pep. His injury only proved to be
painful at the time yesterday, it
coming when Kimsey hit him on
the elbow with pitched ball.
Acting Manager Jimmy Austin
started the youngster, Billy Sulli-
van, behind the bat for the Sox
in yesterdays game, leaving such
experienced men as Berry and
CRUDE on the bench. He did this,
he said, to have more than the
left-handed hitting Hass in the
Sox lineup against Monte Weaver,
Griff hurler for the day.
The Griffs lost no time in get
ting Walter Miller, supposed jinx
twirler, out of the box as five
runs were scored in the first in
ming. The batting order went
completely around, Pitcher Chad
Kimsey relieving Miller before the
round ended.

Schultz Quits Slump

Schultz Quits Slump
And Fred Schulte-good old
Fred-came out of his extended
batting slump by socking out one
of his old time singles with the
bases full in this first. You could
tell it was one of his "old stock"
hits by the wa. it went on a line
through the box and out into
center field.
And say, Fred didn't stop with
this bingle. No stree! In the
third he cracked out a long double
to right, scoring a moment later
on Kuhel's single to center.
Then in the fifth, the big out
fielder took aim and slapped out
a prodigous double off the left
field pavilion wall-three hits all
told, mind you, more than he's
been able to get at any one time
in several weeks of late.
Weaver had only one real bad
inning against the Sox and that
was the fourth when they filled
the bases with none out. He got
out of the hole, however, when
Rhyme drilled into a double play,
Cronin to Myer to Kuhel and
Sullivan fouled to Kuhel. SIM
mons, who had opened the frame
with single, scored on the twin
killing.
That the Griffs were in a hit
ting mood was truly demonstrated
when Moe Berg stepped to the
plate in the sixth and lifted a
home run into the lower stands
in left. Two were on base at the
lime, and did Noes boy friend,
Al Schacht, go crazy with joy?
Either Walter Stewart or Jack
Russell was down" to pitch for
the Griffs in today's finale with

CONN MILK HAS STARTED GREAT
 FIGHT IN STATE
Milk Producers AssOcia- ton Reduced Price to AZ Cents-Insurgents Battle For 6 Cents

Hartford, Conn, March 30 - (UP) - Members of the Connec- ticut Milk Producers Association were divided today on resolution of an insurgent group to set the price of milk in this state at not less than 6 cents a quart and abol- ish pooling form of contracts.
 Tho resolution, which would terminate more than 2,600 con- tracts already drawn and effective April 1. was rushed through at 6 vigorous meeting of the associa- tion late yesterday at which threats of strike and milk dump ing repeatedly were heard.
 The agitation came into the open as result of a reduction In prices March 1 from 6 to 4 1-2 cents a quart.
 Insurgent dairymen proposed restoration of the 6 cent price, abolition of existing contracts not later than July ], substitution oi the straight price for the pool contracts and creation of a com mission of three to arbitrate dis putes between dealers and pro. ducers.
 A LuOLlOH IO piCuBo thC SIooSS.e~- ton to this program failed after President Robert c. Mitchell de- clared the board of directors was not bound to abide by the action of the meeting and that all price fixing and contract regulations were left to the discretion of the board by the association bylaws.
 In the meanwhile the agricul- ture committee of the legislature was prepared today to draft a bill, setting up a state arbitration board which would be empowered to fix retail and wholesale prices in emergencies. .z,
 "This meeting demonstrated the need for a state board of arbitEA- tion." Senator Edwin R. Dimrvck of Mansfield, chairman of the com mittee said. 5-y. Commissioner of Agriculture S. Mclean Bunckingham agreed with Dimrock, stating that while the meeting indicated dissatisfaction with pooling contracts, satisfac- tory corrections could be made in this system.

Boston, March 30 - (UP) - Yosuke Matsuoka, former chief Japanese delegate to the League of Nations, travelled to Washington today for conferences with Presi- dent Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull, after hinting, in a Bos- ton address, that Soviet Russian activities in the Far East were one factor in Japan's Manchurian policy.
 The diplomat left for New York at midnight. After 9 brief stop there he planned to continue to Washington. Extra detectives guarded the station when he left because of the discovery of an amateur attempt to wreck the train on which he came here: Bars wrapped in Chinese republic bunt-
 Matsuoka addressed the Japan Society here last night.
 Japan has become the defender of the East, China being unable to defend herself," he said. People of the West may laugh at such a statement. It may appear to them grotesque. Nevertheless, 1t is as true as that the United States Is the guardian of the liberty of the western hemisphere. We, too, have a Monroe Doctrine in the East.
 Less than seven years ago the agents of Moscow dominated the governments of South and Central China, and were directing Chinese forces toward the capital. then Picking. The western world seems to have forgotten that, and 1t hard ly knows that outer Mongolia, vast territory on the borders of Manchuria, has been incorporated in the Soviet Union.
 "But the Japanese know. They are faced with the facts. They remember their former war with Russia. and they do not want an- other"
 Japan is equally desirous of avoiding war with the United States, he added, appealing for the two nations to unite "for com mon, great civilization of the Pa cific" to preserve friendly relations. we will ever fight" he said. we have committed blunders. We even have committed crimes. You, too, have committed them."
 He asked the society to assist Japan and China "in the important task of becoming friends" since "Too many American activities hitherto have led in the contrary direction"
 Japan and China will have to live beside each other for endless centuries to come," he said. "We should like to live in the same way that this country of yours lives beside the Dominion of Canada. without the necessity of armed forces along our frontiers.'

McGrath threatened to send Clemente Raudis. 36, of 116 Congress avenue to jail if court officials verify the story that he was responsible for his wife and family being deprived of q weekly bag of provisions from the Mutual Unemployment com mittee. Raudis was presented in court on the charge of non-sup- port.
 During the presentation of her testimony Mrs Raudis accused her husband of complaining to the committee and stopping her from receiving help in the form of a weekly bag of groceries. Raudis is alleged to have reported that she didn't need any help as she had several rooniers and boarders.
 If I can verify this story" Judge McGrath remarked to Raudis, you're going to jail." When Raudis spoke up and re- marked about his wife entertaining her boarders at parties, his wife accused him of being the life of frequent parties held at the homes of other women.
 On New Years day the Raudfs family obtain some publicity when a boarder in their home fired two shots at Mrs Raudis and then at- tempted to commit suicide. He was

taken by the local health author ities to shut off the sale of these clans. The producer thereupon took steps to secure approval of his product by the outside state authorities.
 In order to safeguard the health of Connecticut citizens, the state sanitary code regulations require that oysters and clans sold in the state of Connecticut for food must be secured from clean waters. The state department of health issues licenses to the various Connecticut wholesale dealers, which are based on the cleanliness of shellfish handling methods and records of the sources of shellfish handled. The cleanliness of the waters from which shellfish are secured is as- certained by sanitary surveys and analyses of the sea water carried out by the state department of public health service periodically issues list of dealers whose prod ucts are approved in each state. This list is available to local health officers and 1t IS a relatively easy IudCICI AOA SiCIi SO SASSh op POAA- edically on the names and license numbers of wholesalers selling oysters and clans to retail fish markets, hotels and restaurants. If a dealer is not licensed, the prod uct should not be sold until fur ther information as to the source of the shellfish is obtained.
 It is a difficult matter to check up on itinerant vendors who at- tempt to sell oysters and clans from house to house. The public should safeguard themselves and assist the health authorities by re- fusing to purchase such shellfish unless they have the assurance of the health officials that the she'll fish are from clean areas and are handled under sanitary conditions.
