Coup of Regime
Washington, July 12-(UP)-
The administration sought by a
parliamentary coup in the house
today to strengthen it's conference
position on the death sentence"
provision in the utility holding
company bill. House leaders, it
was reported, plan to appoint n
six-man conference committee
evenly divided on the death SEN
tence" issue, to confer with the
five-man senate group already
named. Four out of five of the sem
ators named by Vice President
John Nance Garner favor the dis
solution proviso, passed June IL
by the senate. The house over
whelmingly defeated the clause.

Garner, in Manipulating senate
conferees, ignored the senate Gus
tom of appointing ranking men,

ference.
The chairman Of the senate in

Baer does not retain what he learns
in training. When he is hit and hurt
he laughs to show it is nothing. He
does not think then, he just fights.
That may become very dangerous
for him in the ring. If hit and hurt
by Louis he may do this and become

RAER, hit on the chin, probably does
~ not feel 1t as much as another

I think Louis would be easier to

balance on his toes. But a knock
down may have less harmful effect
on Louis than on Baer.
The significance of these and other
factors in predicting the winner and

The analysis will include two sides
of the asset on which Baer's hackers
rely most-his ability to turn into q

CARDS NEED SIX

Il under the momentum gener-
ated by their amazing 1S-game win
ming streak.
Idle for two days while the second
place st. Louis Cardinals tackle the
Pirates twice, the Cubs we're assured
Of having at least a two-game lead
when their final ''pay-of" series with
the Cards starts Wednesday.
That much was made certain yes
terday when Larry French pitched
Chicago to a 2-to-0 victory over Pitts
burgh in the eighteenth of the amaz-
ing string of triumphs that has car
ried them to the top.
The Cards won a double header from
Cincinnati, taking the first game, IA
to 4. when the Reds went to pieces
and made seven errors to aid the IS

the second when he limited the Reds
to three hits in a mouT / duel with

Fat Boy of Staff Scores
Seventh Straight Win,
Buck His Fourth.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

BY FhANCIS L. Stan.
"OR the first time since Bucky
- Harris inaugurated his build
for-l936" campaign, Washing
L tons rookie cavalcade today
found its new boss eye arrested else
where and the focal point was the
likely nucleus OF a passable pitching
staff.
Quietly, but steadily, a seasoned trio
OF National slabmen have been pitch
ing their way into prominence in
Harris program for next year with
the result that now Bucky might
reasonably regard Eddie Linke, Buck
Newsom and Earl Whitehill as frame
work for first-division curving corps.
The belated clicking of this trio
comes too late to undo the damage
Of this season, ironically enough, but
better late than never is an assurance
for Harris, who almost certainly will
be at the helm again next year, that
he can bank on some members OF
the current staff which dragged the
Nationals through the mire a few
months ago.
Play 500 Ball at Home.
RY WAY of showing what a little
steady pitching has meant, the
Nationals have played at $3.50 pace
since returning to Griffith Stadium
the first of this month. At that
time Washington club was in grave
danger of finishing in last place for
the first time in Is years. but, sud-
denly and without warning, a big
league brand of pitching broke out
and since September l the Nationals
have won IA victories, lost and
tied another game on their home
ground.
They've won three OF their last
four series and split even in the
other, and so torrid has been their
pace that today the Griffs actually
show 500 record at home this sea-
son. If they split even in their last
two games of the year-tilts today
and tomorrow against the Yankees
the Nationals will wind up with 38
victories as against 3s defeats and one
tie at Griffith Stadium. This same
pace on foreign fields would have
them battling for third place in the
American League standing.
But forgetting what is past and
looking to the what's promised in the
future, the specter of Newsom and
Links acting as bulwark of next
years pitching staff looms large. Dur
ing the Washington clubs home stand
this pair has accounted for of the
II victories, while being charged with
only of the 8 defeats.

But Can He Cook!
BREEZY Buck Newsom. who had the
American League hard luck pitch
ing championship locked up a few
weeks ago, seems to have found the
remedy for the weak attack which his
mates showed while he was on the
slab. Buck now gets his own runs.
1t was Newsom's double with the
bases loaded which gave him all the
runs he needed yesterday and for
good measure he slammed out a
couple Of more hits. In his previous
game he singled across the winning
run in the ninth inning of 5-to-4
game with the White Sox.
Before that he whipped Cleveland,
to 1, without having to hit himself
but, in downing the Tigers by 60
score prior to his Indian triumph,
Buck smacked two hits and drove over
a run.
Then there was that dramatic sim

inning off Lefty Grove three weeks

1t can happen. But the logical odds
do not point in that direction.
That double handicap of quickness
and accuracy is the main barrier in
Baer's road. 1t Is a barrier I don't

Declaring that young Buddy Lewis
Of Chattanooga is not in good enough
shape to do himself justice. Harris has
decided to play Estallella at third
hereafter and confine Lewis activity
to light practice.
This was the original plan of the
Griff boss. but when Lewis first re-
ported from 'Nooga he looked fit to
share infield duty with the colorful
Cuban. Since then his failure to hit
has convinced Bucky that the grueling
Southern Association campaign took
too much out of the 19-year-old
Lewis.
In the five games In which he has
played Lewis has batted 10 times and
made only one hit for an average Of
.053.
