CRITICAL OF MOVIE
CLEANUP DRIVE
By Reader.
l have been reading about the
movie cleanup, headed by DR.. Parks
Cadman. You know the story of
the woman that the men brought to
Jesus Christ, and he wrote on the
ground, If any are among you
without sin, let him cast the first
stone" That's the way feel about
the preachers. They are greedy;
they don't work for the glory of God
like they once did. They must have
a fine home and swell car.
They buy good cigars which they
smoke behind closed doors; they
take from the people every cent
they can squeeze out. They prac-
tice birth control, yet condemn it
in the poor trash of their churches.
CAN'T SEE MINTON
IN U. S. SENATE
By V. Webster.
I read in the Message Center a
letter by w. E. Lemon saying that
if we hadn't had enough of fat ioWl
and beans, and wished for more, to
send Arthur Robinson back to
Washington.
I'd like to say to him that I'd
rather have fat jowl and beans than
go to the poorhouse and stand on
the outside. as most Of us will have
to do if Sherman Minton and his
fellow candidates are elected.
I see Mr.. Lemon is in favor Of
Senator Robinson retiring. Not sc
very long ago, I read that the Pres
ident didn't say Senator Robinson
was going to retire, but that he
must retire" Perhaps most of us,
the President included, will have TO
retire If things continue as they are.
You say the Republican party will
have the nerve in this coming cam
paign to tell 221,0 900 registered voters

In MemOriam

In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear mother, Emma J. Mills who
departed this life November 23rd,
1884, age II years.
We miss thee from our home dear
mother,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
IT'S ours to miss thee, all our years,
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
He giveth his beloved sleep.
By her devoted Children.

Goose Goslin migrated from the

Only a few hours ago the 18-year-
old Pimlico, Md, product, sent up by

had a suspicion he wasn't getting

THIRST of all, the guardians Of our

THIRST of all, the guardians OF our
i amateur athletes had much to
say in praise Of the not-so-old
District Boxing Commission. This
commission, you know. holds sway
over amateur boxing as well as the
tougher, rougher professional kind.
Nothing must be done by the amateur
body that would offend the august
commissioners. That was generally
agreed.
But-and there were many butts in
the Cabling about the long table.
What about this $50 nut Eyes. that's
the way it was expressed) the COM
mission must have for sanctioning an
amateur program when admission is
to be charged?" And what about the
elimination of bootleg boxing at club
smokers?" Also what about the fly
by-night clubs springing up to pro-
mote amateur boxing solely for the
gain of their backers?"
All these disturbed the over
lords Of the simon-pures no
little, but it seemed that the
$50 nut was most disturbing.
Some of the affiliated organizations
have sufficient funds to conduct anna
teur boxing programs without the
necessity of charging admission. An
A. A. U. member like the Washington
Boys Club can do so and will says
Charlie Fyfe, its representative on the
District A. A. U board. But other
smaller ones lack the funds for such
promotion.

CROWDER PITCHES
TIGERS NEAR FLAG
Beats Yankees With Fine
6-Hitter-Rookies Star
on A. |. Mounds.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

THEY can nail the American
League flag on Navin Fields
f1agpole right now and be all
but certain it will stay there
until next Fall.
Mickey Cochrane's Detroit Tigers,
scenting a league championship for
the first time in a quarter century,
pinned back the New York Yankees
ears, 80, yesterday in the first game
of what once loomed as a crucial
series, and stretched their lead to six
and a half games.
Joe Mccarthy sent out his left
handed ace, Vernon Gomez, in an ef-
fort to keep the Yankees in the race,
but the southpaw was outpitched all
the way by Alvin Crowder, Washing
ton cast-off, and suffered his fifth
defeat where he had been looking for
his twenty-sixth victory.

Helping Kids Costly.

AYOW 1t isn't the intention Of any
IN A. A. U. member TO carry on
amateur boxing contests solely
for the gain of any club backer. In
stead, the money netted by the boxing
bills would be used for the develoment
of boys in other branches of athletics.
What coin might be collected possibly
would make good swimmers Of some
youngsters who have no chance Of
blossoming into boxers.
Having branched into the neighbor-
hood club business in Washington, the
A. A. U. is eager to get clean athletic
training to every kid it possibly can
reach. OF course. it wants to preserve
the amateur standing of the kid.
That's the big business Of the A. A. u,
after all.
But this training of kids in
sports requires money. Boxing
appears to be the best way to
get the money. But that $50
nut is a handicap.
OF course, in return for the $50 the
District Boxing Commission provides
referee, physician and inspectors for
the show. For a purely civic enter
prise such officials very likely could
be had for less. But that's the Box
ing Commissions minimum.

- LEVELAND. September 1s.-
I Pete Susko pounded out three
Y singles, a double and a triple
and handled IA chances flaw
lessly yesterday, yet Pete is a jittery
young man today.
Johnny Kerr lashed out three hits
and drove across four runs, yet Schnoz
is jittery. Reese Diggs made his
major league debut as a starting
pitcher at flippant Is and won a COM
mendable victory. And Reese has the
jitters.
Even placid Monte Weaver. who
hurled one of the seasons master
pieces against the Tigers t'other day,
has his fingers crossed. So has old
Nick Altrock, who just celebrated his
58th birthday anniversary in perfect
health and was given q big box Of
his favorite stogies.
Reason for Nervousness.
VYyHY? Reason enough. These
w five, alone of the athletes
who have sunk with the good
ship Grifhth this season, have SO far
evaded the most all-embracing jinx
in the history of base ball. But until
an X-ray yesterday showed Clif Bolton
and Earl Whitehill possessed fractured
and slightly Clipped fingers, respec-
lively, so had they defied the injury
jinx. Their numbers finally came up.
When, and in what manner, will theirs
come up, Is what Susko, Kerr, Diggs,
Weaver and Altrock, lone survivors,
want to know.
Ball players long have been listed
among the most superstitious OF NOR
tails Some of the superstitions may
border the ridiculous. But. even you
superstition belittlers, get a load of
this revised record and sympathize
with the five (as these typewriter
keys are pounded) survivors:

head. Alec McColl-Arm trouble and
subsequent operation on ailing fin.
Joe Kuhel-Broken ankle. Joe

NIOW the A. A. U. intends to assist
IN the Boxing Commission in every
way to rid the community of

more often than not is a semi-pro

would flourish to such an extent
there'd be no room for these cheating

Germ at present of the District OF

The District A. A. U. takes unto
itself considerable credit for the le-

committees gave various committees
on the Hill protracted earaches with
arguments favoring the establishment
of the manly art Of give and take in
the capital.
Boxing is the favored baby Of
the District A. A. u, and it
seems to be giving more consid-
Grafton to its rearing than to
any other of its many children.
At least, that was inferred by the
only outsider attending the fifth birth
day party of the local A. A. U. last
night. Fifteen officers and governors
of the District division gave over two
thirds of the discussion at the party
to boxing and how best the simon
pures among the District addicts might
