New York, June 20.-Now we can shout from the housetops again that this is a free country. The home of the free and the land of the brave-with Judge Kenssaw Mountain Lahdis keeping his ear to the ground.
 America was built on the the ory that 1t was a land of oppor. tunity and that everybody had an equal chance.
 Wherever people gather in urban settlements h e are among them some W ho deviate from what man has deemed just and rroper. Such an untoward act is deemed illegal. But as the Romans said. and the Greeks had a word for 1t, too: Let there be an end to it." The basis of our religions is atonement. Our one hope is never to abandon hope.
 And yet three measly, petty minded men who constitute what Is known as the executive com mittee of the minor professional leaguec--and minors they are, If there ever were minors-dared to rule that boy who slipped, erred even as you and I, should have the scarlet letter of thievery marked on his forehead where everybody could see 1t.
 Yes, Alabama Pits committed a wrong-more than one wrong, in fact. He was duly judged con victed and sentenced. The young ster paid his debt to society, what ever that is.
 And so he came out to breathe again, trying to play the great American game of professional baseball-the one thing he be- lieves he can do best.
 It Really Is the
 National Game
 Three minor leaguers tried to take the opportunity away from Pitts who died a living death in Sing Sing for several years.
 If J. Wallingford Astorholtz wanted to take on Alabama Pitts as his valet, or, P. Wallingford W NAAtCIL OtudAh WdhlGu " ChPAOJ him as an office boy, we all would admire the employers as bene- factors who gave consideration to young transgressor who atoned.
 Poor wretches within prison walls should not be coddled, but If Alabama Pitts could not play bass1all under the bright light of publicity, where his every move was Leing watched, every young man in prison might as well be chloroformed. "All hope abandon, ye who enter here," said Dante, but the gates to our prisons should not lead to infernos.
 Alabama Pitts is the first man within the memory of our genera ton, at least the first one so gen. erally publicized, to come out of prison to attempt, and merely attempt, to make a living at pro- fessional baseball.
 Certainly the minor league committee that ruled against him which refused to lend a helping hand-heads an organization that can choose its personnel. But Joe Cambria, the laundry man who owns the Albany club, and Johnny Evers. the great ex- second baseman, both thought well enough of Pitts and his abil- lty to take him on.
 Ruth Was Exploited;
 Why Not Alabama Pitts? It was nothing if they wanted 10 exploit him. Why shouldn't they? Alabama Pitts has as much right to be exploited as Babe Ruth.
 Warden Lawes of Sing Sins sought Evers out to beg this op- pertunity for Pitts-Lawss, the

POWER OF TANKS
 ON WESTERN TRIP
 MAY GINCH FLAG
Gomez Returns to Form as Teammates Score z7 lifts
 to Beat Detroit Twice
BY GEORGE KKRsKEx United Press Stan Correspondent)

United Press Stan COrrespomdent)
 New York, June 0.--(UP)-4-The New York Yankees triumphant swing through the west is turning the American league pennant race into a rout.
 The Tanks have won five in row, and eight of nine games played on their western trip. BY twice conquering the Detroit Tig- ers--the team they figure they have to beat to win the pennant-- the Tanks yesterday increased their lead to 5h games. the same margin the Giants enjoy in the National league.
 At Last!
 Lefty Gomez, back in winning form after a dismal start, sub- dued the Tigers in the opener, 13- 8. A 3-run rally in the twelfth inning won the second game, 7-6. The two defeats dropped Detroit to fourth place, six and a half games behind the league-ieaders.
 Continuing their vicious hitting on the western front, the Tanks shelled their old nemesis, Alvin Crowder. from the box in the open ing game and snapped Tommy the nightcap. New York made 27 hits in the two games. Lou Gehrig led the attack in the opener, with a single, triple and homer, driving in four runs. Bill Dickey's single with the bases filled in the 18th inning of the second game, and an infield out gave the Tanks their winning runs. H
 Detroit put on desperate rally in their half, with Charlie Gehring- CT and Hank Greenberg hitting suc- cessive homers, but the uprising fell one run short. 1t was Green. berg's 17th homer of the season. Pat Malone, who relieved Vito Ta- mulis in the 10th, received credit for the victory.
 Indians Advance
 Cleveland moved into third place by breaking even with Wash ington. The Indians blew a 5-0 lead in the first game and the Senators scored II runs in the last two innings to win, Ills. Four homers-two by Hal Trosky and one each by Campbell and Hale enabled the Indians to win the second game, 10-5.
 Wesley Terrell won his 10th vic- tory when the Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Browns, s-5. The Browns gained an event split by winning the second game, 6-3, on Sugar Gains 7Lhit pitching. Lemon Solters hit two homers against his former teammates sin the opener.
 Brilliant pitching featured the even break between the Chicago Cubs and Boston Braves. Bob Smith outpitched Lon warneke to give the Braves the first game, 7-1. Bill Lee bested Huck Betts as the Cubs won the afterpiece, 3-0s lt was Lees seventh triumph. Phil Cavarretta, Cubs 1s-year old first baseman, drove in all three runs in the second game.
 Rain prevented other games.

ARMOUR's FIFTH HOLE LINK RUINED GREAT OPEN
 IRON PLAY

It was on the fifth hole at Winged Foot, during the 1929 Na- tionai Open, that Tommy Armour was jinxed, although he played four of the greatest iron shots he ever displayed. tt
 In all four rounds, Armour's iron play brought him to the green of this hole with the chance of putting out for, an eagle. Four times he missed. Had he sunk those butts, he would have won the Open by one stroke. He finished with 297, three strokes behind Jones and Espinosa.
 . The fifth is 517 yards long, Q par five, slightly dodleg to the left. Four times the black Scot hit a perfect tee shot, and four times his No. iron put him perfectly on the green. One shot came to rest eight feet from the pin, the second four, the third seven, and the last only IS inches away.
 Armour generally is credited with being one fo the finest iron players in the game. As he starts the backswing, the hands lead the clubhead, the left hand and arm doing the work.
 At the top of the swing, firm grip is maintained on. the club by the little finger of the left hand. This gives control. The right el- bow hugs the side of the body
 
 The downswing starts with a pull of the left hand, the wrists remaining cooked until the hitting region is reached, where they un- coll, sending the club down onto the ball and ripping into the sod. Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, Inc.
