Red SOx Place
Loop Hopes in
Wesley Terrell
Veteran Right-Hander Max.
ing Good All Early Boasts;
Wins 18th Game.
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-One reason
why the Boston Red Sox are train
ing their sights on third place in the
American League is Wesley Cheek
FerreL, veteran right-handed pitch
er who is having one Of the best
seasons in his eight-year majo
league career.
The Red Sox, who finished fourth
in 1884, haven't done better than
that since 1918. when they were
first. Ferrell, playing his second
season with Boston, is a major fac
tor IN their drive for third place this
year.
When the season started, Yves
said he intended 10 win p games
and break two batting records for
pitchers. One mark he is after was
set by him in 1891 while with Cleve-
land-nine hOmers in one season.
The other record he is shooting at
is 30 runs batted in by pitcher in
one year.
By now it's evident that Terrell
was making no idle boast when he
threatened TO better those stand
ards. He already has clouted seven
h and bdtted in "a runs. His
I8 games won constitute the most
victories turned in this year by a
major league hurler.
If he continues his present pitch
Ing pace he may top his 1880 peak
season. when he won IS games and
lost 13 for Cleveland.
Yesterday Terrell won his 18th
game as he pitched and batted his
mates to victory over the Phila-
delphia Athletics, 7-6. in the OPEN
ing game of a double-header. The
AS tied the score in the ninth and
Terrell started a tenth-inning rally
With single He took second on a
sacrifice and scored the winning run
when Roy Johnson singled. The
Athletics won. 4-3. in the nightcap,
which was called in the eighth be-
cause Of the Sunday baseball aw.
Chisox skid Toward Fourth
The league-leading Detroit Tigers
increased their margin over the
New York Yankees to four and one
half games with a TO victory over
the Cleveland Indians, while the
Yankees lost, lilo. to Washing
tons Senators. The third place
Chicago White Sox dropped to
within three games of the fourth
place Red Sox when they lost a
double-bill to St. Louis, 1912 and
Al.
In the National League the New
York Giants gained a full game and
increased their lead over the second
place Chicago Cubs to three games
by winning a double-header from
Boston's Braves while the Cubs
split with Cincinnati. Hal Schu-
macher won his sixteenth victory as
the Giants won the opener 90, and
Carl Hubbell accounted for his
fifteenth in winning the nightcap,
81.
Cubs Split With Reds
Cincinnati defeated Chicago, Sd,
in the opener and lost the night
cap, 4-3. The Philadelphia Phillies
split a double-header with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, Al, and 5-4.
The St. Louis Cardinals halted
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, and 6-5.
They won the opener in the tenth
when Leo Durocher singled with
the bases loaded and a two-run

second game.

Supreme Court Faces M0mentouS Session
Decision on A. A. A. to BeOne of First Handed Down
in New Building.
" WITH the future of the MAJ

w WITH the future of the Ma:
a ! tons political and economic
wv philosophy hanging in the
balance, the Supreme Court
will convene next Monday in its new
$l1 100000 temple for what many OBJ
servers believe will be the most
momentous session in its history.
BY far the most important case
awaiting the decision of the nine JUS
tices is the attack on the constitu-
tionality of the administrators agri-
cultural program-a decision that
probably will be reached by Christmas.
President Roosevelt, now on tour
of the West. already has indicated the
New Deal will look to the A. A. A.
program for its principal support in
the farm belt during the forthcoming
national elections.
Should the court declare the act un-
constitutional, many believe the issue
of constitutional revision would then
inevitably be raised in the 1886 cam
paign. If, on the other hand, the
court should declare the legislation
valid, it is believed the New Deal
philosophy would become so strongly
imbedded in the law of the land that
1t would stand, regardless Of who is
elected President.
Procedure to Be Speedy.
The attack on the validity of the
A. A. A. was launched by the Hoosac
Mills Corp. of Massachusetts,. Ordi-
narily decision would not be reached
until long after Christmas, but the
Farm Administration has indicated it
wants the case expedited, and in such
circumstances the Supreme Court us
ually agrees to speedy procedure.
The Hoosac controversy attacks the
constitutionality of processing taxes
levied on cotton and other basic agri-
cultural commodities. For instance,
when cotton is changed into cloth and
imposed. The A. A. A. act also as
sessed articles or commodities which
already had been processed. That was
called floor stocks tax.
Money thus derived is used for rental
and benefit payments to farmers who
agree to control of production or to
withdraw land from cultivation.
Other Laws Due for Test.
Additional administration legisla-
tion regarded az virtually certain to
come before the bar of the court, for
continued life or sudden death, in
cludes three acts standing at the core
Of the Presidents program:
The Bankhead cotton production
act, the first attempt in this country
to regulate by national legislative
command the amount Of a commodity
man might grow without penalty.
(This act. while in a sense supple
mental to the A. A. A., stands apart
in that it has compulsory features.
