International News Service Sports writer
With the Sta Louis Cardinals
hanging on doggedly, it behooves
the New York Giants to play the
devil with eastern and western
teams alike In this, their last
long home stand. The spectre Of
concluding the season in the
hinterland, and not-so-fond mem
orieS of the 1884 debacle, which
lost them the pennant, has the
Giants playing headS.up ball IS
the season waneS.
The New Workers took another
close one from the Cincinnati
Reds yesterday. After seven
innings Of runleSs ball, the Giants
combined three hits with Gordon
SHADES error to give Hal Schu'
macher his third shutout, 3 to O.,
and his seventeenth win Of the
season.
Earnshaw Wins One
Across the bridge, George Earn
shaw held the Pirates to six scat
tered hits, and the Dodgers white
washed them, S to o. The Brooks
blasted out 10 blows off Birkoter,
Blanton and Hoyt.
Dizzy Dean registered his twen'
ty.firSt win Of the year, Is to 8
at the expense Of the Boston
Braves. Rip Collins, st. Louis
first Sacker, set q major league
record, getting only one assist and
no putouts.
In a typical "Baker Bowl pitch.
ing duel" the Chicago Cubs and
Phillies fought to a draw in a
twin bill. The PhiaS won the
opener 13 to IL, despite homers
by Hartnett and Herman, and the
Cubs retanated In the nightcap,
10 to 5. A total Of 20 runs and
70 hits featured the days play.
In the American League, the
Philadelphia Athletics and the
Cleveland Indians divided honors
in O double header. HomerS by
Jimmy Foxx and Bob johnson
aided the AS 10 to s victory, and
Lloyd Browns four hit pitching
blsnked the Quakers in the night
cap, 8 to o. Hal TroSky came
through with circuit cloUt in
each game.
Tigers Take Two
In Detroit, the Tigers continued
their trek toward the pennant by
taking both ends Of q bargain
bill from the Boston Red Sox,
4 to I, and 3 to q. General Alvin
Crowder limited the Bostonians
to four hits in the opener. In
the nightcap, the Tigers eked out
a victory with a run In the eighth
inning.
Out in st. Louis a double
header between the YankS and
the Browns developed into two
prolonged batting practice ses-
sionS. In the first game the New
York club knocked the ball over
the lot for 16 hits, to triumph,
IA to 2. Taking their turn In the
final, the Browns slugged freely,
connecting for 13 base cloutS as
they won, IA to 8.

Washington's best known hosS'
owner-Admiral Cary T. Gray
son-was the first hoSsman in
America to get as much as $50"
600 for q yearlin' race hoss.
Going on 10 years ago the good
Admiral raised a golden-coated,
chubby daughter Of Man O. War
arI Tuscan Red. When she be-
came a year old this good look
ing miss was bought-well bought,
too well bought-by young James
Cox Brady, in one of the Saratoga
yearling auctions. Brady got the
filly for $50,500, but only after
spirited bidding against several
wealthy hoss owners of those wild
'20s, days when money seemed to
come from cracks in the sidewalk
and drip from the tree in your
front yard.
Brady, now dead-unhappily,
for he was a grand young fel.
low-called his expensive filly War
Feathers. She didn't prove much
Of a race hoss, failing to win-or
break out of the maiden ranks, to
speak in race hoSs language-until
she was four, and that belated vic
tory was attained over an ordi-
nary lot Of SteedS at Latonia.
Master Horse Seller
In saying that War Feathers was
too well bought, I am thinking Of
the hoSs-dealing credo of the late
John E. Madden, one Of Americas
outstanding breeders of race
horses. Madden was the master
hoss seller of all time, possibly of
all nations, not even barring the
Arabs and gypsieS, who do fair-to.
middlin' jobs Of selling hoss flesh.
You may have noted that I seem
to make q distinction between
buying hosseS and selling them.
John E. Madden made the distinc.
ton very decided, very real.
One day at Belmont Park got
word that only a few minutes
earlier a wealthy New Yorker had
paid Madden $4,000 for q two
year-old, a colt that on the previ-
Gus day had run and won his first
race.
Locating Madden, I asked:
els it true that you've just
AS quick.on.the-trigger as II our
dialogue had been rehearsed, Mad

''Wait q minute, now, just .
minute. Let's get the facts Of
what you are about to ask
straight. The gentleman whose
name you'll be mentioning pres
emily was at the track yesterday
and saw my colt win. He now
owns him. But I didn't sell
him."
rubbed my chin a time or two,
frankly puzzled.
Madden went on.
''It's this way. If you come
to me, unsolicited, and ask for
q price on one Of my horses
and he ultimately becomes your
property, you bought that horse.
But If I solicit you to come and
look at one Of my horses, sug.
geSting that you should own
him, and he ultimately be-
comes your property, / sold
that horse. Get the diStinc-
tion?"
I did. And so the millionaire,
having seen Madden's colt with
out solicitation, then asking for
a price on him, finally bought
the horse. If, however, q few
days or weeks earlier, Madden
had sought out the millionaire,

A. FL. REPORTS
Up TREND

Steady progress toward recovery
since the low mark of the depreS'
sion in January, 1888, today
was reported by the American
Federation of Labor in its monthly
survey of business.
There have been recessions in
the general upward trend, but the
net change has been for the better,
the review stated. It said:
"Workers' total income has
been slowly increasing through
unemployment: their gains in
buying power, though small,
together with those of farmers,
raised retail sales in 1884 above
1888 by 6 per cent.
Business is now in its third
upswing since March, 1888. This
upswing apparently terminated
with the second week Of Febru-
ary, for since then production
which had been rising in many
basic industries, such as steel,
electric power, automobiles, and
others, either turned downward
or ceased to show any more than
the normal seasonal rise.

next few months"

Deadly cracking of gangland

Two more men were killed and

The murders were the eighth

LONG NENACES'
CONSTITUTION

Governmental interference in
economic affairs Of the nation
is bound to increase, but the
danger to the Constitution lies
more in the "Tammanizing" OF
the Government that is certain
to follow, DR.. A. A. Berle, Co.
lumbia University political scien-
tist and an original Brain
Truster, declared at the Town
Hall meeting in the Shoreham
Hotel last night.
He asserted that intervention
would not be a matter OF Gov
ernment choice. He said:
ut is the logic of economic
and commercial necessity. 1t
m cans, accordingly, that q
higher standard Of integrity
must be imposed"
DR.. Berle asserted the Con.
stitution is in danger, from facts
too little talked about. Senator
Huey P. Longs share the
wealth" plan he cited as one OF
these dangers, declaring the fact
that it has received such wide"
spread support shows the Con-
stitution must stand certain

That was the declaration to-
day of George Booklet, AZ, as
he sadly looked at himself in a
mirror. He had reason to fear
what the consequences of his
battling malady might be.
Suffering from ostectis de-
formans-a rare disorder which
affects the pituitary and thy
roid glands-the former COM
mercial artist presents an odd
sight. His chin and breastbone
are being drawn together and
his skull is expanding. His legs
are shortening and his arms be-
coming elongated.
Seven years ago he wore a 67s
hat; today he requires an 8A.
Seven years ago he was five feet
seven and one-half inches tall,
but he lost four and one-half
inches.
DR.. Frank G.. Nolan, a Los
Angeles specialist, said that by
supplying the missing endo-
crime or gland secretion, he
might reverse the action of the

j. s. DEBT BY
675 MILLION
international News Service


Dipping into the profits" which
resulted from devaluation Of the
dollar, the Treasury today moved
to reduce the national debt by
675 million dollars.
The operation invovled a call
for retirement of the only two out.
standing bond issues against
which national banks may issue
currency. They were the 2 per
cent consols of 1880, called for
July /, and the 2 per cent Panama
Canal loan bonds, called for
August /.
Retirement of the bonds will
use up the remaining unallocated
portion of the 2,812 millions
profit which accrued to the
Government when the dollar was
devalued. Treasury officials said
the move involved no enlargement
in the currency at this time.
Replaced BY Reserve Notes
Bank notes outstanding against
the bonds to be retired will neces-
sarily be replaced by Federal Re-
serve notes, and back Of these. the
Treasury announced, will be an
equal amount of gold certificates
issued to the Federal Reserve
banks. The actual gold will be
ear-marked and remain in the
Treasury.
Inasmuch as only 40 per cent
gold backing is required for cur
rency, the Federal Reserve could
use the gold certificates to be is
sued as the basis for two billion
dollars of currency. This would
effect an initiation of 1900 mil
lion dollars.
Currency Unified
Today's operation effected uni
fication of the national currency
system, and Undersecretary OF the
Treasury Thomas Jefferson Cool
idge, who made the announce
ment, said it would make for "a

President Roosevelt faced a
grave political crisis today as the
Senate resumed consideration Of
his 1880 million-dollar work-reliet
bill, with six distinct revolts
threatening his legislative leader.
ship.
All other controversies may be
overshadowed by a direct progress
sive attack on the President.
Progressives in both parties were
aroused over reports that the Ad-
ministration is trying to "buy
votes" on the MacCarran prevail
ing wage amendment, through a
promise of work-relief apropr1a-
tions.
One report stated two Senators
had agreed to switch their votes
on this issue, thereby defeating the
amendment, after being promised
large appropriations for their
State.
May Cause Break
A number Of progressives
threatened direct attacks on the
President. If they carry out the
threats, it will have far-reaching
effect. For one thing, it might
cause an open break between Mr..
Roosevelt and such Republican
progressives as Senators Norris
johnson and LaFollette, who sup
ported him in the 1882 campaign.
For another, it might alienate
Democratic Progressives on whom
he must count to win in 1885.
The other revoltS were:
/. BY progressives in both
parties to secure adoption OF
the McCarran prevailing wage
amendment, which orders pay
ment of prevailing wage rates
on relief projects, even if
monthly wages are limited.
2. BY conservatives in both

slash the appropriation to

rect relief.
