MEDICINE FOR WEAVER

Perhaps Monte Weaver's decisive pitching victory over the Yankees will prove to have accomplished more for the professors arm than all the doctors and masseurs have been able to do together this sea son.
 Baseball players insisted some sort of mental complex had more to do with the Washington right handed's failures this year than the actual condition of his arm.
 At any rate, whether imagina- ton played some part or not, Wea- yer finally flashed a real return to his 1892 form against the World champions and raised capital hopes that he will continue to bear down for the balance of the season.

when they closed their last series at the Yankee Stadium, was dis tinctly uncomplimentary to the New Workers Washington played like champions, the Tanks like ex-champs.
 Of course when Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are not getting the range the Yankees do not look so impressive nor do they feel so good themselves. There is nothing very strange in that. Any outfit would feel the handicap of having one of it's big guns getting worn and the other misGiring.
 They may snap out of it and de- liver the winning blows with a comeback charge but, when they left for the great open spaces the Yankees looked exactly like this years runner-up.

ELKS SCORE ON PAP ERRORS TO
 WIN 6 AME:, 3-2
First Inning Boobies Cost Moose Game-Elks to
 Enter World Series

Making the most of three errors made by the Moose in the first frame last night, the Elks scored three runs and nosed put over the Moose, 3 to 2, to win the sec end half of the City League sched- ule, and the right to meet the American Legion in the Little Worlds Series that opens tonight.
 M Macs Spadden and Pete Schmitz. staged as petty a pitch CTS battle as has been seen here this season. Mac had the Paps blanked until two were down in the seventh when doubles by Grummett and Jensen and an er- TOT by M. MacSpadden gave the Moose two. Mac famed Bill Schmitz for the third strikeout to end the game.
 Nello Saves 1t
 Joe Nello, Elks' right fielder, was cast in the hero role for the day. In the sixth frame, with the bases loaded, he raced yards and stabbed line drive from Killewich's bat, making a enchanted catch that shut off at least two scores.
 That occasion, and the seventh frame were the only times that the Elks' hurler was in any par ticular danger. He yielded but four hits, two of which came in the seventh; and famed seven men. Pete Schmitz only yielded five hits and walked none. Had both pitchers got perfect support, the Moose would have won to 0.
 How It Happened
 The game was tossed away by the Moose in the first inning. Lit tie Mac opened with a drive to center that was good for one base. Grummett juggled Jern berg S grounder to short and both run ners were safe. Pete famed Big Mac. Jack Schmitz let Haines' low fly to center get past him and Molly scored, Jernberg going to third and Tom to second. Garn blasted a grounder right into Fritz Schmitz's hands and that us ually reliable infielder let it get through, Jernberg and Haines scur- rying over the rubber with runs two and three.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-08-24

That was the end of the Bills scoring Two singles and a field CTS choice put runners aboard first and second with one out to open the second for them. A poor piece of judgment by Pete on Je.nb2rgs ro.-er to the mound filled the bags. Then F. Schmitz redeemed himself by leaping for Big Macs line drive between first and second and doubling Jern- berg off first to retire the side without a tally.
 After that the Bills had but three runners on the paths Garn singled with one out in the third, but was doubled up on Erskine's grounder to second. Orme got to first on F. Schmitz's second CT TOT in the fourth but died there. Jernberg singled through the box to start the fifth. He was forced at second on Big Macs grounder to F. Schmitz but Mac was safe when Collins missed Grummett's throw at first. Mac d.ed at sec ond when Haines went out, Pete Schmitz to Collins and Garn flied out to Bill Schmitz.
 Stingy With Hits
 Big Mac was stingy with his hits for the first six frames, al- lowing but two and both of them were fluky scratches Killewich got the first in the second in- ming. He lifted a short fly to left that Jernberg loafed on. He should have had it, but preferred to play it safe, allowing it to fall for a single
 In the third, Jensen rolled one inside of first base to Haines. Big Mac failed to cover the bag and Mark got credit for sigle. Both should have been outs, but it made no material difference since no runs resulted.
 Mac got himself in bad hole in the sixth after the first two batters were retired He lost con- trol and walked Bill Schmitz, hit Fritz with a pitched ball, and then walked Coughlin on four straight pitches. With the bases loaded, Catcher Blake, and two MacSpaddens and Erskine conferr- ed over putting Erskine in. In the end Mac resumed his job. With the bases on d jag, Killewich hit the first ball pitched to short rightfield. Nello sprinted in for it and made a wonderful one- handed catch that saved the game.
 Rally Falls Short
 The Moose staged rally in the seventh that netted them two scores and put the tying run on first base. Collins went out, Mol ly to Haines to start it. Jack Schmitz was retired via the strike out route.
 Grummett smashed line drive

TUNIC SOLVES MANY
A DRESS PROBLEM

One suspects that the introduc-
tion, or rather the re-entry OF the
tunic at this time is one OF the kind
ly gestures fashion is making to
those Of us who must make our
last years dresses serve another
year. The tunic is a direct answer
TO the often perplexing question Of
how to lengthen a skirt-especially
since many of the really smart tu-
mics are quite as long as skirts used
to be.
Not, of course, that every tunic
dress is leftover by any means,
any more than every dress with con-
.trasting sleeves is one that has been
remodeled. The current ruling on
sleeves is that they should either
contrast or do something to attract
attention-and most OF them do.
Fashion, being so completely CON
cerned in preserving the topheavy
silhouette, naturally has given up
decorating skirts and is concentrate
Ing on above-the-belt trimmings. The
exception to this is the tunic frOck.
which Is likely as not, bordered at
its tunic edge with fur. or with a

LEGION MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Month of February Set Aside For
Membership Activity

With membership surprising
any ever attained in the depart
ment as its goal, the Department
of Delaware, American Legion, is
now engaged in the most intensive
membership drive in American
Legion history. The drive was be-
gun February and will continue
throughout the month, in accord
ance with a communication receiv-
ed from Louis Johnson, National
Commander, setting aside the en-
tire month for membership activ-
ity. The present membership of
the department, as of January Is,
is 1892 The membership at the
same time last year was 7O2. BY
the end of this month it is the de-
partment's aim to exceed the 1882
membership, which was 800 more
than at the present time. Every
post, county, and district com
mander in Delaware is cooperating
with the department commander,
Colonel Thomas w. Miller, in the
drive. In communication to
Colonel Miller, National Command
er Johnson states: Our great or
ganization must continue its for
ward march. 1t must maintain the
same fighting spirit that gave it
birth. The strongest membership
in our history is necessary to as
sure continued progress and to re-
tain our high prestige with the
general public" The following is
