Thomas Has Bad Luck.

THE Tigers had scored in the Sec
ond inning with Rogell's double
and Owens single, but the Mats
had matched that in the third with
Stewards walk, Schulte's two-base
knock and Myers loft. The other
Washington scoring had been done in
the fifth. Sewell walked, Stewart
sacrificed and Schultz hit long fly
to get Luke to third. Then a wild
pitch let Sewell get home. Myer
walked and was moved around by
singles hit by Manush and Travis.
AL Thomas followed Stewart for two
innings and gave the Tigers only two
safeties. both after two were out in
the seventh. Al would have been a
winner, too, had the Nationals pos
sessed any sound punch in their
ninth turn.
Then Bluege batted for Thomas and
singled. A passed ball enabled OSsie
to make second base. Schulte's best
was a foul to Owen, but both Myer
and Manush drew walks to crowd the
cushions. Travis picked this spot to
drill into the only double-play OF the
game.

Stewart Blows Up.

THEIR scoring opportunities were
numerous, too. While they got
only half a dozen hits of Carl
Fischer, the former National was Wild
and handed out eight free tickets to
first base. The Nationals capitalized
on three Of these, but In the ninth
inning, after Fischer filled the bases
with only one out, they were helpless.
So for only the second time this sea-
son the Tiger left-hander went
through TO complete game.
Walter Stewart opened fire against
the Tigers and left-handed nicely for
five frames. Over this stretch the
home side got four hits and a run.
But the two-run advantage Stewart
carried into the sixth session was
swept aside by the Tigers with q
four-hit rally. Stewart lost his cum
ming after getting the first batter out
and the hits, three of them doubles,
few from the Bengals' bats in sue
cession. And that was the ball game.
Three runs rolled across in that
Tiger turn. Gehringer began the rally
with a two-bagger. Then Rogell hit
a slow one toward Travis good for a
single. Cecil persisted In throwing
and the ball scared wildly over first
base, letting Gehringer score and
Rogell reached third. The error only
made Gehringer's run cross somewhat
earlier than it would have through
fiawless play, for doubles by Green
berg and Owen followed.

- ETROIT. July 18-Their
flag fancies faded, the
Nationals now are bent
49, on getting a first diyi-
sion berth, and even that sizes
up as no snap for them. They
are three and half games
away from the select bracket OF
the league after a bitter 4-to-3
licking handed them yesterday
by the Tigers and the way they
have moved recently, three and
a half games are many, very
many, for the Nationals to
pick up.
The Capital olubmen figure the
scheduling for the next series in this
Western sector might aid them in
their quest, however. They move into
St. Louis tomorrow for a four-game
set with the Browns and In the mean
time the Red Sox and Indians, Of
which one group must be dispossesSed
II the Nationals are to advance, will
fly at one another in Cleveland.
Coming as It does after the tough
tussling with the league leaders, the
Nationals look forward to the st,
Louis series as something Of a
"breather" Which may prove all
wrong. The Browns still have an
edge on the Washington club for the
seasons scrapping, even though the
latter has triumphed in It's last four
meetings with the st. Louis outfit.
To get anything worth while out of
the battling with the Browns, though.
the Nationals will have TO do much
more for themselves In st. Louis than
they did here yesterday in their tilt
ing with the Tigers After a string
of three games marked by their heavy
scoring, the champs fell down badly

n YEw YORK, July 18.-The

VI aced in Great, Britain by a
l. mutiny aboard Mr.. Thomas
Octave Murdoch Sopwith's
costly sailboat, Endeavour. In ordi-
nary circumstances, the trouble would
be called strike, and very tough
strike at that, but British yachtsmen
prefer to classify all symbols of unrest
and indignation among their seamen
under the general heading Of "mu-
tiny"
Mutiny is unsportsmanlike at all
times. In this case, it is downright
nuisance. Mr.. Sopwith's sailboat is
a competitor for that well-known
Evening star., 1934-07-18

He was STEPPED In the traditions OF
British seamanship, He thought that
the defenders Of Britain's supremacy
on the sea were the sort of fellows he
used to play cricket with. He shared
with Mr.. w. S. Gilbert the notion
that:
"A British tar is soaring soul,
AS free as q mountain bird"
SO Mr. Sopwith made his crew
what is know in the best empire
circles as "a sporting proposition" A"
The crew wanted so pounds in prize
money if Endeavour won the race for
the Americas cup, and 25 pounds If
the boat lost. Mr.. Sopwith offered
them a 30-l5 split on the same terms,
or, as an alternative, his sporting
proposition-50 pounds II they won,
nothing if they lost.
Grew Practical and Firm.
TT WAS at this juncture that the
crew flashed its supreme bit of
keenness. The crew was old
enough to remember something about
England's record in the yacht races.
Joe Beckett may have swooned on the
canvas scores of times for the glory
of British pugilism, but he never
went down as frequently or consist
emily as a British yacht in the Amer
ica's cup races. The crew fixed Mr..
Sopwith a cunning glance.
THAT is a fine sporting PROPOSE
tiOn," said the crew. IF your alleged
yacht loses we get no prize money at
all. Mr.. Sopwith, it has been very,
very nice to know you, and we may
see you again some time"
So saying, these practical salts at
tached the cook and went ashore, leav-
ing Mr.. Sopwith with his shattered
illusions about the seamen Of Great
Britain and a week in which to dig
up new crew.
Mr.. Sopwith seems TO have learned
his lesson. He promptly announced
that he would man his ship with a

SUSPEND THE SUSPENDED SENTENCES!

Occasionally it may be just for court to give
a suspended sentence, but this should be the ex-
cepton, rather than the rule. Suspended sentences
handed out promiscuously breeds contempt for the
cort, and tends toward the repetition of the I'M
lawful acts which first brought the defendants irto
court.
During the past half dozen years the writer has
attended the courts of the county rather regularly
in the capacity of reporter. He has seen an ur-
told number of suspended sentences given, espe-
ciay nrecorder's court and the local police court
Many of these defendants were brought into court
again with period of few weeks or months, and
tried for new crimes against society, but in not
instance has the writer seen the old suspended
sentence put into effect.
What is the need of giving suspended sentences
if no reference is ever made to them, despite the
fact that these same defendants arc shortly ar
rested and tried for other offenses? Why not turn
the defendant loose without the sham of the SUE
pended sentence?
Sometimes a person of good repute is brought
into court for knowingly or unknowingly trans
crossing the law. 1t would be unwise in many
cases of this kind for stiff sentences to be given
and enforced. Set the man Alright and let him so
with as little publicity as possible But when the
inveterate criminal-the old-time "repeater'-is
brought before the bench for breaking the law,
give him just trial, and if found guilty mete out
the proper sentence, and make him serve it. As
ong as judges continue to give out suspended sem
fences on every hand, just so long will there be
general disregard for the law in general and the
judges in particular
Carteret county needs law enforcement, and
needs it urgently. And the bench is the prone,
place to begin, for how can an bonas+ ogoor b,,,,
the heart to arrest even confirmed criminal when
ne has sufficient reason to suspect that suspend
ed sentence will be the only punishment" given
out by the court? The sooner the courts suspend
the suspended sentences, the the proper re-
speet will be given the courts and the judges who
preside over them.-Beaufort News.

indications are that a substantial
majority of the men elected to
the 1885 North Carolina legisla-
ture will be unalterably opposed
to the general sales tax and, IN
nv opinion, advocacy of the re-
tention Of the tax will be politi-
cal suicide" Willard L. Dowell,
executive secretary of the North

said.

ion a majority Of the 1885 legis-

"The fight of the merchants is
fight only indirectly for them
selves, in many respects" Mr..
Dowell said. "In the added cost
of bookkeeping, in the cost Of
collection, and in other ways it
is a financial burden and bust
ness nuisance.
However, the merchants are
not fighting the tax for them
selves alone. They are fighting
for the laboring class, for the
farmer. for the man Of limited
means to whom three per cent of
his income is a very vital part,
besides being a nuisance in its

at is true that the merchants
may have a selfish purpose even
in fighting for the customers.
Upon the prosperity of the GUS

give credit where credit is due, and IS
doing that in this instance.
Several years ago a retired business man
came to Hendersonville, bought home,
and decided to spend the balance of his
years here. He was never engaged IN
business here, did not make any of his
money here, and owed no obligation to
this community to devote his time, efforts
and cash to the upbuilding of the town
and section. But he speedily became an
enthusiast in the advertising and promo
ton of this section and one of the most
consistent and persistent boosters and most
indefatigable workers Hendersonville has
ever had in its citizenry. is. e.. .
The citizen referred to is Milo w.
Strong. The past few months, in spite OF
the fact that the condition of his health
has not been good, Mr.. Strong visited near
w hundred towns and cities IN three
States, from which comes the greater part
of the Summer tourist business OF the town
and section, and made personal contact
with commercial organizations and lndl-
viduals. distributed advertising matter,
and in every way possible endeavored to
promote business for his adopted nome
town and section of Western North, Caro-
lima.
Mr.. Strong devoted several weeks to
this campaign, and at his own expense.
The Chamber of Commerce paid him noun
ing for his services and he put, up the
money to pay the expenses OF the trip
through Florida, George and South Caro-
lima. Ts,-;
This action of Mr.. Strong, and the time,
effort and cash he has devoted in many
directions over the greater part of the pc
riod of his residence here. to the advertis-
ing and upbuilding Of Hendersonville,
furnish a striking example of unseltish
community service. 1t ought to be, and we
believe, is, heartily appreciated by every
progressive citizen of this town and
county. , o., .... ..-
Mr.. Strong deserves ''big hand for his
latest efforts as a Hendersonville booster /;
and he follows it up by coming home from
Florida, still not in the best of health, to
take up the burden of running the Cham
mer of Commerce through the Summer, in
order that Secretary Hollowell may be re-
leased to carry on what is regarded as
very important work as director of relief
in the county. In view of Mr.. Strong's
record, The Times-News believes he is a
mighty sorry citizen of Hendersonville who
refuses to back him in the Chamber Of
Commences Summer campaign He should
have the sincere and active cooperation
of every progressive citizen in putting
across the plans which have already been
made. The program covers the needs OF
Hendersonville for Summer entertainment
for an enlarged movement to advertise the
resources and advantages of the town and
section; and for promoting all the aetiv:-
ties of the organization on an enlarged
and improved scale.
With the help of progressive citizens
Mr.. Strong and the directors of the Cham.
Der of Commerce will be able to make a
showing this season that The Times-News
predicts will be remarkable for its scope
effectiveness and results.
