GR|FFMEN OPEN
YANK SERIES
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 5.-The
Griffs are away from their home
lot again.
Usually this situation means
victories and plenty Of them as in
the past Manager Cronin's gang
has shown itself to better advan.
tage on foreign fields than at
home.
This trip, however. promises to
be more important than any other
taken this season in that the team
must win and win consistently to
get within striking distance Of the
leaders.
Twenty Games Slated
Altogether 20 games are on
schedule. The first bracket fea-
lures a four-game series beginning
here today against the New York
Yankees.
Following this set, Cronin takes
his boys to Detroit, where a
one-day stand will be made
against the Detroit Tigers. Cleve-
land will be visited next for four
games, Detroit again for three
more, st. Louis after that, for
four contests, and Chicago last
for four tiItS. the trip ending
July %.
The toughest bit of the journey
comes right at the start, or while
the Griffs are battling the Yam
KEGS here. In this series, the
Griffs can either make or mar
their chances Of getting back in
the race.
Three Wins Needed
In reality Cronin and his gang
must gather at least three vic.
tories here in order to help not
only themselves but the race gen.
orally. Needless to say, this con-
Stitutes a large order, yet the
boys should fare pretty well, if
their past record on road trips
means anything at all.
When the team came back from
Philadelphia the other night, the
prospects that good pitching might
continue seemed unusually bright.
But today the situation is entirely
changed, due to yesterdays sor-
rowful showing against the Phila-
delphia AS, which found every
Griff hurler in stress.
However, there was still that
chance left today that Manager
Cronin's boys might get back into
winning fettle, once thoughts OF
yesterdays defeats are forgotten,
At least the talent among the staff
is still there, even in the cases of
Gen. Alvin Crowder, Bob Kline,
Bob Burke and Alex McColl all
of whom experienced tough go.

The Center Market nine can
win the first half championship Of

day by disposing Of the Shell

A loss for the Marketmen will

dropped one, while Sanico has
also been victorious in eight con-

DRY DOES NOT RECALL WHEN THEY WERE
PLANTED.
WHY HAS IT BEEN NECESSARY TO RESORT
TO TRICKERY TO DELAY AND HECKLE THIS
MEASURE?
IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO RESORT TO
SUCH TACTICS BECAUSE ONLY BY THEIR USE
COULD FAIRMINDED AND HONORABLE MEM
BERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE BE PRE-
VENTED FROM THE PROMPT ENACTMENT OF A
PROVISION WHICH EMBODIES ONE OF THE
ESSENTIALS OF ECONOMIC RECOVERY.
Only by such tactics could the present inconsistent
position of the Government on the matter of purchasing
power be maintained.
Why it should be maintained nobody knows but there
seem to be forces at work in Congress which have for
their object the hamstrnging of the Governments eco
nonic program.
They give this program lip SERVICE but when the time
comes to range the Government the side of patriotic
employers of labor, they refuse to do their part
The odd part of the situation is that many of those
who are thus handcapping the Governments recovery
effort pose as the champions of that effort.

HAVE ONE CONSOLATION AND THAT rs THAT
TRICKERY CANNOT PREVAIL FOREVER

Needs Purging
It is because Secretary Roper
has replaced expert, experienced
and nonpolitical officials with
inexperienced and political ap-
pointees, that the Airline Pilots
Association has protested to
Congress against giving the
Secretary Of Commerce any au-
thority to determine their rates
of compensation.
Disguised as indefinite fur
loughs, indefensible removals,
transfers and dismissalS have
been made with the result that
the personnel of the aeronau-
tics branch is far less expert
enced and expert today than it
was when Congress recessed
last June.
What was set up as a techni-
cal and non-political Federal
agency to assist the Secretary OF
Commerce in the discharge Of his
responsibility under the law to
regulate civil aeronautics in the
public interest has, for the lack
Of a Norris amendment, become
a political and publicity bureau
for the promotion of political
aviation and the exploitation of
flying politicians and their ap-
pointees.
An investigation by Congress
of the maladminiStration Of the
aeronautics branch is essential
if this Federal agency is to be
purged and restored to o firm
non-political basis.

Senator Norris of Nebraska
has just won another victory in
Congress over pork-barrel pol
itics. His amendment to the
home loan guarantee bill has
earned the Endorsement Of
President Roosevelt. This means
it will be accepted by the House,
having already passed the
Senate.
The Norris amendment bars
political influence from all con.
Sideration in appointments to
the Home Owners Loan Corpo-
ration. It puts that service for
the future under the merit
system.
A similar provision was in
serted, on motion of Senator
Norris, in the Tennessee Valley
Authority Act, which has
worked well. It has enabled the
Administration to protect the
service of that authority from
political incompetents.
The Norris amendment to the
Home Loan Guarantee Bill
should work equally well. If en-
forced, it will protect the service
Of the Home Owners Loan Cor
poration from the greedy and
meddleSome interference Of
pork-barrel politicians.
Timely Warning
In the course Of the debate
upon this amendment, Senator
Norris, than whom President
Roosevelt has no more progress
sive supporter in either House,
delivered this warning to the
Democratic party:
"DemOer0ts, do your duty
and you lUiH stay in pOwer; go
cvGzy and get Uild and drunken
IOith pOUer and do wh0t you
hGVe condemned your enemies
for doing. and you will 60 out

the very things Democrats hGUe

the past had dissusted millions

the council Of the city, and for
once I think the English are be-
lying their reputation for hard
hea6edness and common sense

figures. It was a decision of
moment that the council had to
make. It rested with DR.. Emil

Is put on a road in a respectable
neighborhood and the young
ladies Of today ask who she is
who knows what consequences

T think the good doctor was
unduly alarmed. She lived only
twenty-nine years, this strange
daughter Of Sir Thomas Boleyn
and Elizabeth Howard. AS q
young girl she went to France
and to the court Of Queen Claud
and, returning to England, she
had as suitors the poet Sir
Thomas Wyatt, and Henry
Percy, Earl Of Northumber erland.
But she would be nothing less
than q queen, and to make her
one, Henry VIII put aside Cathe-
rine Of Aragon.

For a while they lived hap.
PLY, but Ann, disliked by the
people and by the court, grew
arrogant and inSolent. The
chronicles Of the day tell us
that she was not the hand
soonest woman in the world.
She was Of medium height and
gwarthy complexion. Her neck
was long and her mouth wide.
But her eyes were magnificent,
large and black and hypnotic.
She was a queen for three
years, from 1888 to 1886, when

All but one maintained their
innocence, and he that con.
feSSed, did so only under tor
tllre. Anne herself was con-
victed by q court Of 60 peers,
and her own uncle, her mothers
brother, the Duke Of Norfolk,
pronounced the sentence that
she should be beheaded, or
hanged, as the king should de.
sire. And he wept as he spoke
the words. The four men were
executed in the presence of
Anne on May 18, and the fol-
lowing day she mounted the
ScaI1old ana placed her head on
the block. She went happily
to death in what may have
been a form Of hysteria. She
laughed the night before and,
putting her hands about her
neck, remarked that it was so
little that it would take no
more than one blow Of the axe.
