That's a mighty big cup for

But the 26-year-old professional
golfer proved himself strong
enough to tote it when he turned

Craig Wood. in the p. G. A.

extra holes of play. By winning
the tournament, Runyan re-
places Gene Sarazen as king Of

The beginning yesterday was
suspicious. FL Gomez, the left
handed senior from San Francisco,
hreballed the Red Sox IN the opener,
allowing only three hits and VIM
ming. ll-2 Herr Ruth. the former
Baltimore bat boy, accounted for
the second. He Waddled to the tee
in the seventh inning and smOte one
neatly into the upper tier of Uncle
Jake's right-field bleacher section,
making the final figures 2-1. Johnny
Murphy pitched three-hit ball until
the eighth. when he was nicked for
one run and Deshong took his place
Detroit got only a split IN Cleve-
land. losing the first 81 and WIN
ming the nightcap. AZ This re-
duCed them to second place for the
second time IN a week.

shellacking. this time at the hands
Of the seventh-place Athletics, who
punched six hits IN the late innings

the face by a ball and had to retire.
The Chicago White Sox came
from behind to beat St Louis, 81,
behind the eight-hit pitching of Sad
sam Jones.
Chicago pared New YOrk's lead to
two and a half games in the Ma

played the last three innings Of an

FIXED DG0LDVALUE
SEEN FOR DOLLAR
Administration Officials Cite
Standing Offer to Buy
Metal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some economists may take ex-
ception to Secretary Morgenthau's
definition of a gold standard. but the
fact remains America has gone as far
toward a currency freely eXchangeable
for gold as the present plans OF
President Roosevelt contemplate.
This was made plain yesterday by
administration officials in discus
sion of views expressed by the Chief
Executive in his recent message to
Congress He has abandoned all
thought of putting gold back into
circulation, they said. and believes
the present standing offer to buy
newly mined and newly imported gold
is sufficient to give the dollar defl-
mite. pegged gold value.
Meanwhile, the Treasury set new
price on it's gold holdings as the re-
suit of the Presidents action in re-
ducing the dollar to 59.06 per cent
of its gold weight and Jumped the
profit of 81 805, ,5120 060 into its general
receipts. The result was that the
daily statement of the Nations flnan-
cial position for the first time since
early in the depression showed a
surplus instead of a deficit.
Profit Not For Deficit.
Where Friday expenditures were
listed as running sl,922,598,l73 be-
hind receipts. yesterdays summary
listed s973, ,716,937 more receipts than
expenditures. Fridays statement
showed the dollar value Of the Treas
urys gold. including that transferred
from the Federal Reserve system. as
s4.034, ,867 900. Yesterday it was
valued at s7,018.263.925.
Treasury officials reiterated there
was no intention of applying the
profit from the gold to the deficit and
that the final figure for the fiscal
year would show a deficit OF s7,000,-
100000 as estimated by President
Roosevelt. Presumably the gold
profit will be segregated later from
the Nations ordinary receipts.
OF this profit, $4,000, 100000 was
appropriated automatically by the
monetary bill for the stabilization
fund with which the administration
plans to regulate the dollars foreign
value. With that deducted, on the
basis of yesterdays statement there
still would have been a deficit of ST.
$26.l83.063.
Whether the United States is now
on the gold standard, officials said,
was purely a question Of how that
standard was defined. Secretary

Roper Suggests Committee
to Coordinate All u. S.
Activities.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt seeking uni
form Federal aviation policy, has ap-
proved appointment of an aviation
Policy Committee to study the ques-
ton from every angle.
The proposal for appointment of
such a committee came TO the Presi-
dent from Secretary of Commerce
Roper. The new Policy Committee
will have representatives of the War
Navy. Post Office and Commerce De-
partments and of the National Advis-
ory Committee for Aeronautics.
The effort of the committee will
be to ascertain to what extent CO.
ordination may be effected anc
greater efficiency attained in the pro-
motion of aviation for military, COM
mercial. airmail and private flying
purposes.
Coming at time when there are
movements on foot for greatly ex-
tending the military and naval all
services. and when the airnail con-
tracts of the Government are under
going close scrutiny by Senate in
vestigating committee. that determi-
nation Of the administration to make
such a study and to adopt uniform
aviation policy is considered both sig
niflcant and important.
Sees Material Saving.
Not only does the Secretary o1
Commerce believe that much greater
efficiency may be attained for the va
rious services using aviation, but he
believes also that the adoption of a
uniform policy and closer cooper
alton by all these Government
agencies will result in a material saw
ing to the Government. In addition
the search by the Federal Govern

opinion, cannot fail to have its re-

There has been no suggestion sc

even that military and naval all

ever, does look to the fullest kind OF
cooperation, not only in expert

The fate Of the unit now rests with

If Congress adopts the recon-
