MILK AGREEMENT
MAY BE FOUGHT
Attorney for Frederick County
Producers Cites Injunction
in Roston Court.

Louis Oberth, attorney, said today
he would contest in court the right
of the Secretary of Agriculture to
issue a milk marketing agreement for
the District.
oberth, representing some inde-
pendent milk producers in Frederick
County, Md, said the action of Fed
eral court in Boston in issuing an in
junction against an agreement there
gave him hope of success in District
Court.
He said he would take his action
as soon as the agreement would be
issued, which, he thinks will be in
the next three or four days.

HubbelI and OFT Team.

THE double header start Of the
crucial" series, by which the
Cubs hoped to chop the Giants lead
to one game yesterday, was mostly
New York before 1t ended. Screw
ball" Hubbell's elbowing baff1ed the
Chicago champs in the opener to pull
out a seven-hit, 6-1 decision, for the
portsfder's twentieth win of the cam
paign. The Little Feller's" bat came
through in the nightcap, blasting out
homer No. % with two mates aboard
in the ninth inning to turn what
seemed certain defeat into an 8-6
Giant win over Larry French.
This double defeat dropped the
Cubs out Of second, and pulled the
Cards into the No. 2 spot. The Gas
House gang. with Dizzy Dean, as
usual, gangster No. /, clubbed the
Dodgers, 6-3, in the opener Of their
bargain bill. to gain an even break.
Van Mungo allowed seven hits in the
l3-inning nightcap for a 81 Dodger
win.
The Yanks all but nailed the Ameri-
ical League pennant to their mast by
taking the White Sox in both ends of
a doublt-header, 81 and Al. Bump
Hadley turned In his twelfth win Of
the season in the opener, and Monte
Pearson pitched three-hit ball In the

letters to important people:
Mr.. Thomas H. Yawkey,
co Boston Red SoX.

Dear, Sir:-Your ball club, which
has been called the Sox and the Gold
Sox and the Gilt-edged Hose, all in
spirit of good clean fun. though I
don't suppose 1t is so funny for the
guy who writes the checks-your ball
club, as I started out to say, is in
sixth place. At the beginning Of the
season lot of us hair-trigger opti-
mists we're figuring you for the pen
nant. I plead guilty to mentioning
third place, and that was an over-lay,
too.
Well, none of this is news to you.
You have your headaches, and I
would be IL kinds of heel (instead of
just 10) if I added to the total by
rubbing it in or second-guessing.
The second-guesser should be
muzzled by law in August and
September and compelled at
the point Of gun to put his
guesses in writing in April.
A citizen who spends money on
base ball in a good ball town like Bos-
ton is deserving character. Boston
had a pennant-winning team about
18 years ago, but the proprietor, Mr..
Harry Frazee, was more of a seller
than buyer, and pretty soon all
those rare bits Of ivory, including an
item named Ruth, were appearing in
Col. Jake Ruppert's showcase in New
York, and winning pennants for the
Col, too. That was tough on the Bos-
ton fans. You've been treating them
better.
But 1t occurs to me that you
are buying your goods from the
wrong store. Col. Rupert
bought from q pennant winner.
You buy from a cellar club. That
elderly merchant, Mr.. Mack, has an
innocent face and tempting line Of
sales talk, but If you study his record
you will find that he makes spe-
cialty of giving nothing for some
thing. The only exception can think
of Is Mickey Cochrane. Your own
Mr.. Grove was no bargain at the
price.
Where did the cagy old trader fin
ish last season with the stars that
he peddled to you few months later?
In the same place he is finishing this
year, without them. Furthermore,
for the price of bag of peanuts, he
acquired a pitcher whose record is
l6 wins for a basement ball team,
one Harry Kelley. It's a better record
than Yves Ferrell's-better than
Groves, comparatively.
OF course, you have to buy
from the bloke who will sell,
and I admit that none Of the
other tycoons was particularly
anxious to do business with you.
The moral seems to be that q fell
low can get farther with starvation
wages and chain-gang tactics (paging
Branch Rickey) than he can with a
fat bank roll and cute competitors.
Hoping that this won't always be
so, and that Santa Claus will bring
you five Cobbs and two Speakers in
the next mail, remain,

round route. He lost and won against

Les Kennedy, drew and lost to Matte
Brown, lost to and knocked out Bob

On the other hand, Gallagher, in
his only 15-round encounters, has
knocked out Galento in II heats and
copped a decision over Tow. 1t would
seem, therefore, that Marty is at his
best over longer distance A slow
starter, he fails to warm up until q
prohibitive score has been rolled up
against him.
Marty has the courage and moxie Of
a champion, but his management, in
signing him for a scrap with a man
over whom he holds a decision and
handicapping him with a 1o-round
bout, has placed Gallagher's ring
future in jeopardy

Browns Are st. Louis Pets.
THE BROWNS are not a poor G.

THE BROWNS are not poor club
l. financially" declared our in
formant. This is a widespread i'm
preston and strictly erroneous. Fur
thermore, st. Louis is not q bad base
ball town. II the truth be known, the
Browns probably represent the best
buy in major league ball today.
"They don't draw big crowds
now, It's true, but one thing
about the Browns is that nothing
they do is wrong in st. Louis.
For instance, for all Of their failure
to win this season, there hasn't been
heard q single boo in Sportsmans
Park. The Browns, not the more
successful Cardinals, are the favor
ties in st. Louis. The Cards, up in
the pennant fight this year and In
plenty Of years gone by. are booed
frequently.
ITO better illustrate the point, I'd
like to be able to present table OF
figures which, unfortunately, are IN
strictest confidence. Nevertheless, the
year the Browns finished second IN
the American League race they drew
an amazing number Of cash CUSTOM
ers. It was q financial year that will
compare favorably with that OF any
club.
"By this season, not BY the
seasons that have found the
Browns In the cellar, should the
interest Of st. Louis In the
Browns be judged.

No, the BrO,cns Don't Need sympathy.

II anybody bought the Browns for,
say, S250,000. and sunk 100000 extra
into the proposition for the purchase
of new talent, I'd guarantee the buyer
would get back his original invest
ment in a single season if the Browns
finished as high as the first division"
Pitching Is Chief Headache.
HORNSBY, with an iron-clad con-
= tract, calling for two more years
as manager of the Browns in his
pocket, is very likely to be the busiest
person of the Winter at the diamond
mart. Lending credence to this is
the blunt fact that st. Louis. like
Washington and Chicago and one or
two other major league clubs. has not
built up an extensive farm" system.
What new talent the Browns dig up
Is likely to result from trades.
Hornsby, it is rumored, will
put Rollie Hemsley on the block
this Winter. and the grapevine
route buzzes that Rollicking
|. Rollie Is ticketed for Detroit.
In Angelo Giuliani, former Cath
olic University boy, Hornsby has prob
ably the most promising rookie re-
ceiver in the American League, and
it is planned to hand him the reg
ular assignment next year.
The forthcoming retirement of Jim
Bottomley will leave gap at first
base, but Rogers has a chance to
trade for a first-sacker. This prob
ably will be the way he will get Bot
tomley's successor, but if not Bell will
be moved to the bag.
Lyn Larry, the ex-National, is the
only infielder fairly certain of his
job in 1897. it is said, although Cliff
is too good a hitter and runner to
be threatened with unemployment,
and if he is shifted to the outfield
there Is a possibility that Hornsby
will swap one of better hy-chasers for
pitcher.
Only the curving corps rep
resents a big headache, on pa
per, at least.
Every time you start moaning over
Bucky Harris pitching it will change
gray skies to blue if you compare fig
ures Of the st. Louis and Washington
hurting. No wonder Hornsby favors
change in the official ball. Some
of his pitchers couldn't throw a ball
of cotton up to the plate without hav-
ing it socked out of the lot.

Ben Beats Browns Twice.

TODAY. again riding the crest of a
winning streak that grew out of a
double-header victory over the Browns,
the Nationals had time to contem-
plate anew the deal that brought the
fleet-footed fiy-chaser to the Capital.
If ever a ball player single-handedly
stopped losing streak it was Chap
man. newest and brightest of recent
Washington heroes.
To win the opener of the double
header with the Browns yesterday,
Chapman collected a triple and two
singles in five trips to the plate,
scored a run and batted across the
wining tally in a 5-4 affair that laid
nearly 10000 fans in the aisles. In
the nightcap he was even more bril-
liant, getting a double and triple
in four official trips and batting across
four runs in 7-to-4 victory that
today was responsible for the Nation
ais being only one full game out Of
third place and three games back of
the runner-up Indians.
Looking back over Chapman's
record as a Griffman, the full sense
of his value easily is realized. Back
in the middle of June the Washington
firm found itself none too well pleased
with the work of Powell and leaped
at the opportunity to trade him for
Chapman. Since then Ben has done
nothing to disturb the firm conviction
of Owner Clark Griffith and Manager
Bucky Harris that one of the all-time
best deals in Washington history was
engineered,

and seemed well on his way to his
second victory Of the year over the
Griffs.
Then Carl Reynolds beat out slow
roller to short and Cecil Travis singled
to left. Bluege sacrificed and Miles
purposely was passed, filling the bases.
When Jess Hill flied to Solters while
batting for Cascarella, the score was
tied at a.
Here Chapman stepped up and
spoiled the first half of the day for
the Brownies by singing to left,
scoring Travis with what proved to
be the winning run. Pete Appleton
breezed through the ninth inning to
save the victory for Cascarella.

Still Jachucki seemed on his way
out of it unscathed when Red Kress

ball and bounced to Sigmon, who
started double play that wiped out

King Regains Confidence.
I EVINSKY'S knockouts over Pepe

Rogers may not have enthused the
flstic world, but those chilling con.
quests have accomplished much for
the King.
The King is simple soul. Those
victories have restored his confidence,
which suffered severe shock after the

believes he has the best right hand

Levinsky is in that frame Of mind.
he's dangerous.
Obviously, Gallagher has nothing
to gain by trimming Levinsky at this
point, except in the minds of a very
small group. Levinsky is a better
fighter than he was when he faced
Marty last year, but there are few
fans who will believe that.
Should Gallagher lose to the
Chicago clouter, he will get a chilly
reception from out-of-town promoters
in the future. After all, the guys only
opponents of even slight national
reputation have been Levinsky,S Tony
