established no pitching rec
ords on Washington's western swing,
but the little left handler at least had
the dubious distinction of being the
Nationals most successful twirler.
Used in six of the Griffs' l6 inland
games. Petit wound up with three
victories and no defeats, to boost his
season record to six wins against two
losses.
Leon picked up the first of these
games in st. Louis, when he became
the first Griff twirler to go the route
and win. He downed the Browns,
IL to 3.
Pettit's second triumph, in Cleve-
land, was tinged with luck. He re-
lieved Bump Hadley with the Griffs
trailing, S to 4, and was nicked for
three runs in the one inning he
pitched. But the Nationals came
back in the following frame to stage
big rally and score seven runs. Ed
Linke hurled the rest of the game,
but it was Pettit's on the record books.

hurt and Schultz fell heir to his job
of old. He virtually has been un-
stoppable since.
From below the 200 class, Schultz
has come up within the last couple
of weeks to .270 mark in batting
and bids fair to finish once again in
or near the 300 class, to which he
belongs. Against the Tigers he was
a terror both afield and at bat, espe-
cially in the last two days. His four
safeties in five trips did not help the
Tigers in their 14-inning victory Tues
day and yesterday one of his two safe
blows enabled the Griffs to take the
Western finale and wind up with o
record of seven victories as against
nine defeats.
A preceding double play involving
Eeinie Manush and Cecil Travis
Voided Fred's single in the second
inning, but nothing could void his
other hit, lusty home run over Navin
Fields left-field fence which scored
Travis ahead of him and gave the
Griffs a 7-to-1 lead in the fifth.
The margin was more than enough.

= At any rate, since he re-
turned to Boston with the Braves he
has taken a new lease on life and
bolstered his sagging pitching record.
Danny began throwing his twisters
for Somerville, Mass, High School,
with Frank "Shanty' Hogan roaming
the outer garden.
McFayden first went up with the
Red Sox in 1925. In 1881 he won Is
games and lost IL with that struggling
club and so impressed the Yankees
management that they gave Henry
Johnson, Ivy Andrews and a consider
able sum for him. When he left
Boston he left his pitching effective
ness behind. He had an in-and-out
career with the Yanks. finally went
with the Cincinnati Reds and had
lost two and won but a single game
when he Joined the Braves June IS.
Since then he has won three and
lost two and yesterday he turned in
a sterling victory over the second
place Pittsburgh Pirates, holding them
to eight scattered hits and two runs
while his mates ran up total of seven
talies.

Makes Bucky Forget Miles.


PERHAPS there was another reason.
At any rate, Fred landed here
today with a 371 batting average for
Is games in the West and in possession
of the centerf1eld berth which was
snatched from his grasp last Spring
by Takoma Parks reformed tiger,
Jake Powell. 1t isn't Schulte's job to
keep, perhaps, because the injured
Powell definitely had won Bucky Har-
ris over with his spirited play, but Fred
did not hurt himself.
There no longer is much talk from
Harris on Outfielder Dee Miles of
Chattanooga, whom Bucky wanted
shipped to the Nationals pronto. If
Powell rejoins the club shortly Buck
will not have much to worry about
as far as outfielders are concerned.
Schultz will bow out in favor of Jake,
undoubtedly, but he will continue to
alternate with Stone in right field.
Fred's batting spree started the day
the club arrived in the West. Facing
the White Sox in the opener, Fred
singled in his first two times at bat
and finished the day with three safe
ties all told. Used as a pinch hitter
the next day, Schultz was inconspicu-
Gus, but in the last two tilts with the
White Sox he collected four more
hits.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
, COURAGEOUS CONGRESSMAN

| NJ, A.1.r+o Constitution this morning praises
the fearlessness of Congressman IarVer, OF t"e
Seventh Georgia District for his frank oeii" 'h"'
bo summarized the bonus legislation 1t hanks OF Ola
timos when statesmen would not betray thelr co!'-
vctions REGARDLESS of consequences, says the Neoi
gia paper. = Ii
Whatever difference of opinion the people Oh MS
district NAV have with their congressman as 10 h''
bonus stand, they must applaud the courage Oh a
representative who is willing to so frankly anu
staunchly stand by his convictions, regardless ol
possible political effect. :.
Judge Tarver conscientiously believes with the
president that the enactment of the bonus legisa-
ton as proposed is both unnecessary and unwise
at this time.
His frankness in acquainting the people of his
district with his position rings like an echo of the
olden days, when political leaders, fearless in their
actions and devoted to their trust stood firmly by
their convictions regardless of political consdera-
tions.
A notable example of this the statement OF
i. Q. C. Lamar when he represented Mississippi in
The senate in which he told constituents who pro-
tested against his position on a matter before the
sanate that at shall not surrender my convictions
and if YOU do not like my attitude you will have
q chance to put somebody else in my place at the
next election" But his state admirng his courage,
kept him at his post, man who would not sacriice
principle for political exigency.
Such men are fewer in public life now than they
in the days of Senator Lamar, ana the seVehCh
district is fortunate in being represented by one
whose constituents may know at all times his frank
position upon the issues and the problems faced by
congress.
Such courage evokes universal appreciation

A GREAT RECORD

Few American executives can boast the remark
able record which has been made by R. E. Simp-
son, of Hickory, who although having served al
most 53 years with the Southern Railway System,
continues active as an official and gives promise of
many more years of service
The dramatic career of Mr.. Simpson from water
boy to general manager of the lines combines all
OF the human interest and inspiration of an Horato
Alger tale of fiction. Although there were long,
hard, lean years of early struggles before success
crowned his conscientious and capable efforts, Mr..
Simpson does not carry any of the battle scars.
This Is undoubtedly due to the fact that he has al
ways been buoyed by happy philosophy of life
and is genuine friend and companion of his fel-
low men, s 4 .a
1t Is cause for pardonable pride when men who
nave been business associates and employees for
many years voice such tributes to one long their
superior, as were sincerely paid to Mr.. Simpson by
southern Railway executives who gathered in this
city Monday night to do him honor and partake of
his hospitality.
NO hlgher praise was spoken, however, than when
ne was assured that he enjoys the love and respect
OF the railroad employees of low and high rank,
,all along the line.-Hickory Record

goodbye and charged the whole thing up to expe-
rience.
And now what is the next racket? Well we
wonder if it is not right upon Did we not read
something about an organization of "Share the
Wealth" clubs? And who is going to finance the
proposition? Are there generous souls back of the
movement who will pay the bills and all that IS
asked of members is for their moral support? Is
this the case? We wonder
Our guess is, and only guess, that members of
this new club will be called upon for dues or fees,
or contributions. And knowing that Huey Long will
find his program as impossible of attainment as
any other wild-eyed scheme we opine that in d
year or two possibly less, supporters of this new
movement will find that whatever contribution has
been made to the visionary promotion scheme is
gone and can be charged up to experience.

Gentlemen: ,
If YOU will allow me a little
space I want to speak a word to
nv old friend Morris Orr and the
Republican party. I notice the
sheriff is facing a bad situation,
seems to me not for any fault of
his own, just simply lack of prop
er support from the public.
Now | want to state here to
Sheriff Orr that he will have to
look to his friends in the Repub-
lican party for help. l myself,
though not voter in North Car,
DINA, worked to help Morris Orr
get elected, and Pm glad | did
and I believe he will make a good
sheriff if backed up as he should
be.
So here is my recommendation
to Orr and the Republican party
, of Henderson county: Call the
party together and pledge the 10y
al members to pay a certain
amount as the occasion may de-
mand to put On the necessary
deputies to cope with the situation
and put it over and give the citi
zens the best service possible. 81
try this and put me down for 81
per month for one year. I'll gladl,
pay it, and if you N. G. Republi.
cans could only realize what YOU
have at stake you would be glaC
to keep your state a two-party
state instead of a onc-party DO
litical machine, as we now have
while mans just rights have beer

Wake up! 1t will be too late
sometime soon, but don't let this
happen to you. am speaking tc
