AS IN MIDST

BY GARRETT WATERS,
Times staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, June 5,--ThA
inconsistencies of baseball tell an
interesting tale oftimes. Tho
case of the Philadelphia As.
whom the Griffs meet here dur
ing the next three days, offers
the latest example.
The Mackmen were in the
midst of a potent winning streak
about 10 days ago. Everything
was going swell. The fielders
were fielding, the batterS were
killing the horsehide and Lefty
Grove was coming to the rescue
of the pitchers whenever they
found it impossible to finish
games.
But now these same Mackmen
are in the throes of one of the
worst spells of blues in many
moons. A visit to New York has

eral heart-rending games were
lost. And to top this off, the
genial Connie Mack and the
temperamental George Earnshaw
had Words-Words that were hot
enough to force Mack to fine his
big pitcher $500 and suspend him
for 10 days.
OF course all these happenings
haven't done the AS any good
and probably won't for the next
few days, or until they right
themselves again. Because of the
thought, the Griffs are up
here hopeful of catching their
opponents off their guard. so to
speak, in the little matter Of
scoring several victories-needed
so very much at this stage of the
pennant scramble.
Cronin's boys are here for three
contests by arrangement of the
schedule. In the effort to gain
the edge the young pilot has it
mapped out to use General Alvin
CroWder on the mound today.

First, the Sox demonstrated
more than ever that they're 60
ing to be a very tough customer
to defeat throughout the remain
ing days of the campaign. Second,
they promise to hand the Griffs
a special brand of battle because
of the expert pitching they are
apparently able to dish to Mana
ger Cronin's men, while third,
and probably best of all, yester-
days. final game of the series
brought to mind that Pilot Cronin
has found another starting
pitcher in his midst is none
other than Alphone c'Tommy")
Thomas.
True, Tommy did not finish his
game out there on the mound at
Griffith Stadium. but he did go
nine innings and. by his efforts,
pictured the fact that he'll be
able to take another shot as
starter whenever Manager Cronin
desires to use him again.
Made Tommy Work
The Sox made the veteran pitch
every minute in what was put
down as real test. But Tommy
came through in splendid shape,
in fact would have won had not
he been up against George Pip
gras. big right-hander, who used
to be one of the aces of the New
York Yankees pitching staff.
The SoX counted two runs off
Of Tommy as early as the first
inning when Manush dropped
divers fly. McManus tripled,
Hodapp flied to Manush and Fer
rell singled
But after this Tommy was ex-
ceptionally tight with his hits
and might have gotten by with
out being scored upon during the
remaining innings had not Goslin
messed up Seeds short single,
allowing Alexander to score from
second in the seventh.
1t was this marker which tied
the score at 3-3 at that stage
of the game and which later
found the two teams battling to
the thirteenth before the Griffs
finally won.
In this thirteenth Manager
Cronin's boys put the decision
in the bag when Schultz walked,
Kuhel sacrificed and Bluege sin
gled to right. These happenings
came off the offerings of Johnny
Welch, however, as Pipgras re-
tired after the twelfth because
of the heat and also because he
had worked so hard to turn in
triumph.

The suit is the second brought
against the Louisiana senator by
Mr.. Ansell. 1t Is the result Of an
attack made on him by Long on
the floor Of the senate. In the first
suit the senator invoked congress
sional immunity.
The new action is based on the
transmission of copies of the speech
through the mails. According to
Ansell's brief, Long had his remarks
reprinted in pamphlet form for dis
tributiOn to persons in Louisiana and
other parts Of the country. He de-
clared that, while Long was able
to evade SANDER action by taking
refuge in his congressional immu-
nifty for speech delivered in con-
gress, the act of sending the OBJ
jectionable matter through the
mails constituted ground for libel.

The British are now willing to

The French are also willing to dis

{ The administrator" will be head
ed by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., with
the title of governor, and an assist
ant, for the present at least, Paul
Bestor, with the title of commits
Biuner.
i Governor Morgenthau said, after
Issuance of the order, that the ac-
tivities of the government in grant
ing loans to farmers and farm or
CARNATIONS will be fully co-ordinated.
In the past, with the government
making loans through the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the r. f. c.,
the farm board and other agencies,
varying rates of interest were
charged and different purposes and
conditions were set up, and under
the new regime, Governor Nor
genthau said, unity of purpose and
treatment will be observed strictly.
He also declared that all en-
ployees of the new credit admins
tration will be placed under civil
service instead of under a patron
age system as exists in many of
the bureaus at present.
4 The executive order issued by the
President directed the adjustment
of the farm sterilization activities
of the farm board which have re-
suited in losses of three hundred mil
lion dollars, except that he provided
they should be continued only to
s1iquidate the left over holdings of
the board. This consists of thirty
million bushels of wheat and twenty
eight thousand bales of cotton.
In the message to congress accom-
spanying the order President Roose-
welt said his purpose was to "main-
tain and strengthen sound and per-
manent system of cooperative ag-
lricultural credit subject to federal
supervision and operated on the basis
of providing the maximum of Sc
'curity to present prospective In
vestors in bonds and debentures
resting on farm mortgages or other
agricultural securities-an for the
purpose of meeting the credit needs
of agriculture at minimum cost"
The consolidation of these various
activities under one head is expect
ed to result in an administrative
saving Of two million dollars year.

Ten days after the appointment Of
