back of her story-few homes have not
come in contact with similar situa-
tionS.
AS mentioned above, her episodes
come down through the years with
the swiftness and the thoroughness of
"Cavalcade." Singly. she returns to the
immediate past and reminds her lis
teners of facts that they perhaps have
long since forgotten-facts which,
nevertheless, as presented in their
proper dress and with the hint of the
music of the day, become as near to
you as the theater has ever presented
them. Singly. she faces the future
with the hint that the ever-present
changes of today are no worse than
they were yesterday. Singly, she pre-
sents sentimental picture that is
sad, but one which is also terribly
true. Singly, she creates a magnificent
drama.

STOPPED
BY POLICEMAN

OAKLAND, Calf, Aug. 8. UP)-
Under orders of police at the ring
side, Nash Garrison, Mexican light
heavyweight who now hangs up his
hat in San Jose, was awarded a
technical knockout last night over
Ival Wilson Of Eureka at Oakland
auditorium.
The decision was the most un-
usual ever experienced in an Oak
land ring.
Wilson was on the floor with 10
seconds to 60 In second round
when Jack Thornbury, Oakland
police lieutenant, leaped into the
ring and ordered the bout stopped.
Although the Eureka fighter ap-
peared able to continue, Thorn
bury said he was not going to "see
any one killed" and directed Ref
cree Jimmy Duffy to award the
bout to Garrison.
Thornbury's order stood despite
the protest of Claire Goodwin,
member of the state athletic COM
mission, that no police officer had
power to halt a match. Until the
abrupt end, Wilson had appeared
to be leading in points.

O|LNEN LOSE
To FAT BOYS

One large inning during which
the Fat Boys gathered in six runs
was more than enough to win their
game against the Flying A outfit
last night. Gregory of the losers
pitched steady game of ball but
his support wobbled at crucial mo-
ments and enabled the Fat Boys to
pile up a lead which was never
cut down.
This victory leaves the Fat Boys
and Valley Laundry outfits out in
front, running neck and neck in
the second half of the league sche-
dule.
The Oilmen took the lead in the
opening frame when CaHzza past
ed a homerun with a mate aboard,
but this advantage was lost when
the Maggie team got down to bust
ness later in the game. Chambers
for the winners pitched his usual
good game of ball, but was inclined
to be rather free with transporta-
ton to first base until his mates
gave him a good lead after which
he tightened up and it was all over
then.

GEHRIG SETS
RECORD FOR
BALL GAMES
BY HENRY SUPER

Il
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Henry Lou
Gehrig, basebal's Iron Horse"
passes another milestone in his dia-
mond career today.
When the New York Giants
meet the Philadelphia Athletics at
the Yankee stadium, Gehrig will
participate in his 1600th consecu-
tive major league game, a record
which should remain on the books
for decades.
On June l, 1925, a husky, broad
shouNered youth of % took his pos
ition at first base for the Yankees.
Every day since Columbia Lou, ="
has handled that assignment in ev-
cry league game the New Workers
have played.
The only person ever to approach
this record was Everett Scott, also
Yankee, who played 1907 consecu-
tive contests.
The end of another chapter in
LOUIS career finds him having one
of his worst seasons. His batting
average today is a mere 1923 COM
pared to an all-time mark at the
end of the 1884 season of .345. He
has cracked out only II homers. A
year ago he led the circuit with 49
The streak, Lou claimed today,
has nothing to do with his batting.
After I've passed 1900 I'll aim
at 100. This streak has had moth
ing to do with my failure to hit this
season. A fellow can't go on hit
ting $50 or better year after year.
He's got to come up with an Off
| season now and then-and I guess
this is the one for me-"
Gehrig fattened his average yes
terday with two hits in four at
tempts as the Yankees lost to the
Boston Red SoX in the opening
game of a double-header, 6-5. He
went hitleSs in the second, which
the Yankees won, Ga. The New
Workers stayed four games behind
the league-leading Detroit Tigers,
who were idle. The Chicago White
Sox and Cleveland Indians split,
the Indians winning the first So
and the Sox the second, 2-l in 10
innings.
In the National League the lead

idle, increased their margin to 312

YANKEE NET
STARS BACK

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. UP)-Am-
erica's unsuccessful Davis Cup
team returned today from England
aboard the liner Manhattan with
no alibi for its crushing defeat by
England in the challenge round.
Our players aren't good enough
to beat England yet, and that's
about the whole story" said Joseph
Wear, Philadelphia, non-playing
captain.
Wear said the chief fault in Am
erica's eight successive failures to
win back the Davis cup was, in his
opinion, the inability of the Off
ciais to approximate the players.
"The best players are not al
ways used" said Wear
Wear said he had no regrets
about failing to use Sidney B.
Wood, Jr, New York, in the chal-
lenge round instead of Wilmer AL
lison, Austin, Texas, veteran.
Wood was highly erratic and
told me So" said Wear. What's
more Harry Hillman, our trainer,

''BLondy" Ryan To
Play With Yanks

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. W.P)-Short-
stop John Collins (Blondy) Ryan,
the famous slogan-maker who was
purchased from the Philadelphia
Phillies for the waiver price OF
$500, probably will break into the
New York Yankees lineup within
three or four days, Manager Joe
Mccarthy said today.
Ryan became famous in 1888
when he wired Manager Bill Terry
of the New York Giants: "They
can't beat us. Enroute." At that
time he left the hospital where he
had been treated for spike wound
to join the Giants in the west and
play an important role in shaking
off slump which threatened to
ruin their pennant chances.
The Yanks bought Ryan Tuesday
after Shortstop Frank Crosetti in
jured his knee.
