son and drove in 80 runs. There
is little chance that Manush will
approach these figures in '35.
From a run producing stand
point the fate and fall of Hal
Trosky, first baseman of the Cleve-
land Indians is more surprising
than that of Manush. Trosky
ranked second to Gehrig last year,
smacking 142 runs over the plate
and hitting $3.50. Now he's bob
bing along at about the $50 mark
and going nowhere at top speed.
It was a good bet when the season
started. that with the league park
fence for a target that Trosky
would challenge Jimmy Foxx,
Greenberg and the others not only
as a home run hitter, but as a
run producer.
Among the other casualties this
season are Frank Higgins, Of the
Athletics, who hit $3.50 last year;
Sammy West, with a mark Of 1926;
Bill Dickey, Of the Yankees, who
batted 1929, and Bill Werber. of
the Red Sox, with a mark of 1921.
Last year washington had two
men in the first Is. These were
Manush and Travis. So far this
year the Griffs have Buddy Myer,
in full career of his greatest sea-
son; Rocky Stone and Cecil Travis.
For the sake of uniformity, this
writer is quoting figures from the
unofficial averages, correct as OF
Thursday morning. BY that table
Myer was hitting $40 and ranking
third in the American League.
Buddy was five percentage points
in advance of Charley Gehringer,
the Tiger second-sacker. Stone
ranked seventh with a mark of
1886 and Travis was sixteenth in
the league with a mark of .3l8.

the hands Of the commission
and give it back to the fans.
MuShky, be it known, is the
silent partner behind Mr..
Howard Livingston, the portly
front man for the American
Legion Arena. BY which we
mean that Mushky doesn't
want his presence in the Le-
gion liaiSon known, so he hides
behind the generous form OF
Livingston and makes the
matches, while Howard stays
out front and takes the blame
when the matches are not so
good.
Incidentally, Howard has had
no occasion to make alibis, up
to and including the second
successful fight show he has
held under the guidon Of the
Legionnaires, however unsuc-
cessful they may have been
financially. Howard has an
angel to explain away the eco
nomic phases of his promo
tons, and thus a very tidy
organization seems to be func-
tioning; Howard being the
front man, Mushky the rear
man, and the angel being in
the middle, as it were.

 In order to bring about the stricter regulation of the sale of securities, the bills provide that salesmen and so forth must ob- tain licenses from the state before they can operate. The measures will be heard by the committee on banks of which Senator Nathan Spiro of Danbury is the chairman.
 Other Bills
 Under the bills persons offering advice pertaining to securities for a consideration would be regulat- CT. The Culhane bills are not the only ones aimed at tightening up the law regarding the sale of se- curities, however.
 .a, Representative John Thornhill Of Brookfield has a bill before the legislature which requires permits for securities salesmen. The Gull hane bills, though, amend the act concerning the general powers of the bank commissioner involving securities so as to give him greater power over those operating in this field. Before the salesmen and those offering professional advice could be licensed they would, un- der the provisions of the Culhane bills. be required to pass an ex- animation and, also, establish to the satisfaction of the bank com missioner the status of their character and their standing in the community.
