The recent experience of the Gov
ernment Bond market may put a
damper on the whole silver program.
That market is most sensitive in times
like these.
The Government has a lot of fl
nancing to do and can easily maintain
the market for its financing unless
the imitation talk gets out of hand.
Some Shrewd observers believed that
the recent brief decline was meant as
a word of warning against imitation
on the part of large holders of Gov
ernments. At any rate, it is true that
some large holders desired to test"
the market by selling. and now have
repurchaSed.
Baruch Retires.
The withdrawal of Bernard Baruch,
once a Democratic angel, from the
stock market is being widely adver-
tised in the inner circle there. They
say he has moved up town" which
means that he has become. you might
say. a retired capitalist. (The Tam

moved up town. +
After Baruch returns from Europe,
his pals avow, he will devote more
time to the public baths in New York
and Mrs. Roosevelt's homesteading
than to reading the ticker tape.
There is a strong movement among
Republican veterans to promote Iowa S
Hanford MacNider for the Republican
presidential nomination in '36.
One Of the most astute Republican
leaders came back to town from trip
recently and told his friends: "As long
as the Government money faucet is
open, you can't beat Mr.. Roosevelt. "
Wicklisse Shreve. the economist
says: Imitation is like love. No two
people have the same idea about it. u
Mr.. Hoover's forthcoming book will
be an analysis of present day prob
lens from a restrained legal and
constitutional standpoint. 1t will not
be a direct attack on Mr.. Roosevelt.

This apprentice right-hand-

coasted to a 1872 victory over the
Chicago White Sox yesterday. al
though the 10 hits he allowed we're
almost as many as he had permitted
all told in three prior appearances.
The bespectacled Yale stars record
since he joined the club June shows
two victories. including a one-hit
shutout and one defeat, in which he
allowed only three hits. He has given
up only 81 hits in SO innings and
famed five men yesterday to boost
his strikeoutS to %. Gehrig con-
tributed his nineteenth homer. a
triple. double and single to New
York's l8-hit assault. Not content

Lenclen's Literary Standing,

n UT Trudy has gone with Joan and
u Bertha and the dolls on NJ
Villons list. So have Mary
Browne and Suzanne Lenglen, the
tennis ladies who cast their lot with
Mr.. Pyle and gave his troupe the
feminine touch he thought it needed
Mile. Lenglen, of course, retained her
amateur standing with the literary
critics by writing a novel called THE
Love Game" 1t was sweeter than
sugar cane, and the boys refused to
believe that Suzanne had taken money
for the job.
The most versatile of all the lady
athletes was our own Babe Didrick-
son. Babe was strictly handicap
runner by the time she retired from
the ranks of the Simon pures. There
was no one in her class. 1t is easy
to forgive her for going commercial,
but it's impossible not to feel sorry
for her when you watch her pro-
fessional antics.
The Babe, when she signed the fatal
papers, probably felt she was letting
herself in for good time and some
pleasant society But last Spring
she had nothing better to do than
to barnstorm the base ball training
camps in Florida. associate with the
ball players and pick up couple of

every few years, and then the debbil
mammon catches up with them and
they help themselves to slice of cake
and disappear.
Francois Villon once wrote piece
about the dolls who had faded from
sight after a brief spell of notoriety.
Where was Flora. he wanted to know
and what had become of That's? Had
anybody seen Heloise? Or even
Blanche? AS far as Francois could
make out, these celebrated twists had
gone the way of last weeks snowfall
If the poet were alive today, and
could beat those larceny and income
tax raps, he might knock off another
limerick on the same theme about
Mary K. Browne and Suzanne Lenglen
and Gertrude Ederle and Mildred
Babe Didrickson. They were all
leaders in their Simon-pure athletic
days. but they dissolved like dewdrops
when c. c. Pyle or some other tall,
dark man with checkbook crossed
their paths.
Ederle lasted longest as pro. She
made her biggest splurge in this field.
She crossed the channel on one
bounce and came home to a flock of
ticker tape and vaudeville offers.
There even was a popular song about
her, beginning:
"Trudy, We want you always
near U.s."

1t was we'll that Stone came along
with his timely humping. for the
Browns did some on their own against
Earl Whitehill. The left-hander man
aged to go route, although in hot
water much of the way. In addition
to the 10 safeties he gave up, the
Earl was generous with passes. He
franked five Of the Brownies to first

franks resulted in run.

A BSOLUTELY impartial, he picked

Browning groaned and writhed, held
his head, moaned and was rutty in

picked him up again, did kind of
juggling gavotSky around and round
with Browning on his shoulders-then
down came the champion in the final

Finally P0r Mats Attack LOnd Scores One for Right Ling
THE SPORTLICHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Up to the finishing assault. the bat
tie was an even war. Just before the
last attack, Browning had applied a
body scissors that turned the deep
red countenance of Londos into a
series of facial contortions. The
Greek was either suffering terrific
pain or he is a greater actor than
Walter Huston and the two Barry
mores. More than once, 1t began to
look as if Verona, Mo-. was to join
Livermore, Calf, as championship
headquarters.
But Londos had too much in re-
serve. Much faster than Browning,
more alert, he broke every known
hold the big Westerner had to offer,
including a few extempore applica-
tions of arm and leg which Browning
suddenly happened to think about at
the moment.
But Londos had been in the middle
of all those holds for a dozen years.
They were all an old menu to the
Greek, who was in marvellous condi-
ton, as fresh at the finish as he was
at the start.
The physical contrast between the
two gentlemen from Verona and
Greece was amazing Browning, from
Missouri, stood feet 2l2, with dis
placement OF 233 pounds. Londos,
the Greek, standing feet 8, weighed
1875, leaving the Westerner with an
advantage of 38 pounds, something
less than Camera held over Max
Baer.
There was an other wide gap.
Browning made practically no noises
of any sort On the other side, Lon
COS was an entire symphonic chorus
He was a volcanic outburst of groans,
grunts, squeals. gurgles, means and
sobs. There were moments when
Londos sounded like an entire Greek
chorus from the days when Zeus ruled
Olympus
One of the main spots of the pyth-
onic evening came When< Londos ap-
piled the Japanese arm lock, a COM
bination of wrist lock, arm lock, leg
lock and double crotch. Before this
lock was broken Browning's right arm
and hand were drained white OF
blood. His right hand resembled a
huge lily Topping in the wind.
The color scheme was magnificent.
A few minutes later Browning put
over a head scissors on Londos and in
a short while the. Greeks face looked
like a cluster of purple grapes with
the touch of a late June sunset

After Travis fouled out, Andrews
got out of that first inning through
double play. Then the Browns pro-

HITS At FINE CLIP
AFTER BIC SLUMP
Jack Swings Effectively as
Champs Win Second in
Row From Browns.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

A FTER a prolonged batting
n slump, Jack Stone ap-
~ pears ready to make felt
a his presence in the Ma
tionalS attacking list.
For nearly a week now the
transfer from the Tigers has
been getting his hits quite regu-
larly and Jacks pickup at bat
might well provide the cham
pionS with that certain some
thing they need to get them in
respectable winning stride.
With the veteran Heinie Manush
socking Solidly to dominate major
league batting and the rookie Cecil
Travis slamming on a sensational
scale, Stones steady improvement in
attack was little noticed until last
Saturday, when he wound up his
afternoon with successive homerS.
That contribution was to a losing
cause. In yesterdays tussle with the
Browns Stones efforts meant much
more. He helped himself to triple
and two singles. Two of the clouts
figured in two-thirds of the scoring
done by the Nationals in their 6-to-4
victory.
