Wolff comes closer to proving it than
Saroyan, but even in his case 1t does

Is shed by two leading articles
in the July Mercury, one by H. Parker
Willis, former secretary Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, and the other by
Edwin Walter Kemmerer, Walker pro-
fessor OF international finance at
Princeton. The purpose Of the two
pieces, says an editorial note. Is to
provide readers with "a complete and
factual discussion of the financial
disaster which appears likely to result
from q continuation Of the Roosevelt
administrations policy Of unlimited
currency imitation"
The meat Of Mr.. Willis article is
this: That the administration has
taken the line that free spending
marks the road to recovery. but has
been unwilling to risk unpopularity
by imposing taxes severe enough to
raise the wherewithal. Instead, 1t
has raised 1t by looting the banks.
compelling them to purchase Govern
ment securities beyond the possibility
Of redemption. As much as so per
cent Of the national debt, says Mr..
Willis. has been foisted on the banks
In this fashion. The sum amounts
to SlS 1000, ,000, 900. Yet the total cap
italization Of all banks in the country
is less than $4,000 ,0OO, 900. The reader
does not have to be an economist
to guess what will happen. Mr.. Willis
predicts that the deluge will be STAYED
of until after the election. After
that-chaos.
Mr.. Kemmerer's article confirms
this finding. and adds that the suffer-
ers will be the people OF moderate
means. 1t is their investments, in
surance policies and annuities which
will be swept away, he says. There Is
only one remedy, as he sees 1t. That
is. balance the budget. But one fears
that 1t Is hardly likely to appeal to
the present saviors OF the Nation.
In the July Scribners. William Lyon
Phelps lists, with characteristic op-
timism. 100 good books. all of which
have been published since the 1st of
June. last year. They comprise non-
fiction. fiction and poetry. In addi-
ton. there is q list Of 20 preferred
thrillers.
There Is really only one criticism
to be made of so comprehensive a
selection. and that is this-it is too
long. One hundred good books In a
year means eight and a quarter good
books in month. Now there may be
that many good" ones-merely good
ones. But If you are going to list
works of that caliber, it is obviously
unfair to include the occasional fine
book among them. To place Villa

credit for one when Gehringer

Turner, finally pinned this

Roy Spencer
Returns to
Big Show

The New York Giants new
catcher, Roy Spencer, is a veteran
of the baseball wars. Thirty-six
years old, he's been peering
through a catcher's mask for a
long, long time-to catch and
watch games in both major leagues
as well as in the minors.
American League fans will re-
member him as a one-time first
string receiver at Washington. He
served at Cleveland, too, and a
term with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The broken finger suffered by
Hank Danning at st. Louis last
month made possible baSeball'S S

have been going along nicely with
only one catcher, but Terry de-
cided circumstances demand more
protection.
Spencer has always been some
thing of a hitter-lateSt 1nterna-
tional League averages credit him
with a mark of .327-and as an ex-
ira pinch hitter he should make
himself serviceable at the New
York Polo Grounds.
To obtain Spencer from Balti-

buy another receiver for the ORR

purchasing George Savino from

"I'll ram this ball down his

He should have thought of this

Tommy Bridges couldn't think
Of an alibi after the game. He
didn't need one. He pitched bril-
liantly, allowing four hits. In the
first inning, Myer singled. In
the seventh, Stone tripled and
scored. In between those frames
Powell walked and was the only
Griff to get on base. In the
ninth two hits and an infield
out produced a run for the Tigers.

They were pathetic, and they
were practically helpless against

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 20.
The strategy of firing and falling
back is established as entirely
sound. But the Griffs carried the
practice too far. They fired their
so-called heaviest battery-Buck
NeWsom-full in the faces of the
Detroit Tigers, and proceeded to
fall back right on their backs.
They assimilated another licking,
the third straight in Tigertown,
and the fourth on the trip.
Mr.. NeWSom came out of the
fray early, a chased and chastened
man. He had acquired some of
the wisdom that comes with pain.
And the anguish of his heart he
bleated forth this morning.
"Tf I'm going to meet the
best pitchers of all clubs, this
team must play tight ball.
Also, it must get a hit in the
clutch now and then.
"The Tigers didn't get
enough hits Off'n me to beat
