CLOSE RACE
WILL HELP
7 f A N
By GARRETT WATERS

With his team hitting we'll and
the pitching showing signs OF
finally crashing through in the
form supposed to be the case at
this hour of the season. Manager,
Cronin looked into the future TO-
day with more hope than has been
in back of his mind since the start
of the season.
Now, he believes his co-workers
will get into that long awaited
stride even though games against
the several powerful Western op-
ponents are due for the next thir.
teen days.
Said the young pilot today:
"Of course we can't become
too OverjOyed just because we
grabbed a hard earned victory
over the New York Yankees yes
terday as events of the wrong
nature are still liable to happen
to throw us off the track mo-
mentarily. But we can be en-.
couraged by the fact that a
certain nOrmalcy is being
reached in every department Of
our makeup, which nOrmalcy
will gradually get into full work.
ing order as the games pro-
greSs."
Cronin, particularly, is pleased
over the manner in which his
men have hit in the last week or
so. The boys, he points out,
haven't been outclassed at bat in
any contest. as the many hits
they've raped out more than
proves.
Fight Still There
Also, the young leader has
noted that the same fight and
dash has been paramount in
the teams play, even though in
one or two cases, losses have
had to be swallowed due to the
off-form pitching.
Opines Cronin:
Even in those first two
games with the Yankees the
boys demonstrated that they
could go out and get runs
after the opposition had scored
'em first. That certainly
should prove that the team,
on the whole, is still a threat,
Also it should offer an idea
that it'll be more of a threat
when the pitching finally hits
its stride and the race gets
down to that stage where
stamina and balance counts"
In this connection, the season
promises to reach that certain bal.
ance within the next month. The
teams have played almost three
weeks now and in this time have
unlooSened all the good, bad and
indifferent baseball that anyone
could imagine.
And best of all, the Griffs
haven't been the lone entry to
have had its troubles. This can
easily be pictured by the fact that
no one team has made a runaway
race Of it at any time since the
campaign commenced on April 16.
The Yankees, who finished here
yesterday, have had their troubles
both at bat and in the pitching
box, as have the other teams and
this names every entry in the race
from the East to the West.
Future Is Promising
So it can readily be seen that
Cronin is half right in his
thoughts of the future, and par.
ticularly the future of the Griffs.
AS the young pilot points out, the
Griffs have looked just as good
as the others with the exception
of their pitching, and when this
department. straightens itself out,
it's just going to be a case Of
stamina and balance winning out.

Through a recent ruling by Judge

is invalid, the board has lost entire
control of the hog farm situation,
and unless some other law is dis

regulate or eliminate hog farms,
Farr said, there will be nothing to
prevent the establishment Of such
farms anywhere in the county.

GOSSIP RUMORS
 PROVE HARMFUL
Roosevelt Urges People to Seek Source, Motive
 of Reports

Washington, Sept 2S.-(UP)- President Roosevelt feels that gos- sip mongers and rumors from anonymous sources are hamperinS intelligent discussion of current problems.
 Tn d message to the fourth an- nual women's conference on cur rent problems, meeting in New York city, the president last night directed attention to the growth of independent thinking in the past two years and the part played by false reports in confusing the situation.
 More and more people are jo- ing their own thinking" he sasid. "Thc number of poll-parrots in our midst is steadily declining-for which we must be very thankful. More and more men and women are looking up their own facts an1 forming their own opinions.
 We are learning to discrimin- ate between. news and rumor. As a people we put our tongues in our cheeks when a fact or series of facts are distorted, no matter what motive is the cause of that distor- tion."
 He said that there was less in- clination to believe those who would create fear. or encourage panic"
 We as a people pay small at- tention to those gossip mongers who invent tales, generally with a selfish objective behind the tales," he declared.
 As an example of this type of rumor, the president cited one which occurred this very day"
 "A rumor which started in Wall street, spread to Chicago, and came back to Washington for verifica. tion. The ruimor was the immedi- ate retirement of three members of my cabinet-the secretary of agriculture and his undersecretarY, the secretary of labor and the sec retary of the treasury.
 The origin of the report comes from what is politely called an anonymous source.' I urge that everyone of you consider and an- alyze the source and motive back of every report you read"
 Mir Roosevelt declared that the bulk of the American people paid nosattention to this type of rumor and emphasizing that the report be cited was wholly untrue.
 In a message to the Intsrnation- al Association of Police Chiefs, the president declared that prog. ress would come only when the nation was secure from depredas tions of the criminal classes.
