Passing of the Train Butcher

HERE'S melancholy in the
l. news that the railroad train
butcher is vanishing. Soon, like
SO many fixtures of the passing
generation, such as the dried-pota-
&c as cure for rheumatism and the
dropping sidewhisker, he'll be an
extinct species.
In my earliest recollections of
travel he has fond place, along
with the lunch put up in a congress
shoe box, the cinder in the eye and
the smell which made every day
coach remind you of a woodpecker' S
nest.
On almost the first car trip I ever
made maccompanied twas he who
sold me a sealed volume entitled
''Th1 Jolly Old Drummer's Spicy
Library" with a whispered warn
ing not to break the wrapper be-
fore leaving the train for fear of
arrest. 1 remember my guilty feel
ing, my youthful thrill of anticipa-
ton. / got my moneys worth right
there. 1 didn't get it, later, because
there was nothing in that book you
couldn't read at a meeting of the
ladies aid with impunity.
He was indeed an engaging
scoundrel and engaging scoundrels
grow increasingly scarce. There's
nothing picturesque about an lin
vestment counselor" doing business
with the aid of a sucker list and

Boston, June 17.-(UP)-Havine snapped their losing streak, the Bees took c new lease on life today and set themselves for a Bunker Hill day double header with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Jim belted three singles in successive trips, and, with Hal Lee, led Q 17 hit slugging splurge. The former Nashville star pitched one of his most effective games of the year.

 The Boston Red Sox, meanwhile, struck hard luck at the start of their road trip. Even two home runs by Jimmy Foxx-his 18th and 16th of the season-failed to rouse his mates from their lethargy, as they lost to 3 to Chicago.

 Distribution of weight is from the hips downward, letting the top part of the body free for the shoulders and arms to work in unison.

Cubs Record Remarkable Ie : Pirates Hold Pace; Rey-

BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff COrrespondentl New York, June IT. - CUP) - The Chicago Cubs Zig Six" hurl- ing corps stood out today as tho sturdiest in the majors. With e half dozen starters winning regu- larly, Manager Charlie Grimm has. his choice of three pitchers daily while still being able to allow the normal four-day rest periods.
 In winning 12 consecutive games. the longest victory streak since the Cubs won 21 in Q row last fall, the Chicago staff has compiled one of the most remarkable records in fnod- ern baseball. In those dozen tri- limphs, not one Cub twirler has had to be relieved nor removed from the game for Q pinch hitter.
 Lon Warneke, Grirnn's fireballer, has won three while the Cubs were running up those 12 wins. Tex Carleton, Curt Davis, Bill Lee, and Larry French have won two each, and Roy Henshaw has one to his credit.
 The only blight on the winning streak is the fact that il of It's l2 games were taken from second di~ vision clubs.
 Larry French won his fourth victory of the season yesterday and kept the Cubs string unbroken by turning back the Philadelphia Phil- lies, 1 to 1. The league leading St. Louis Cardinals collapsed before the Boston Bees, 10 to 1.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates kept 8 game behind the Cubs with . 9 to 3 decision over the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS, and the New York Giants tri- umphed 5 to 9 over the Cincinnati Reds.
 In the American League, the lead- ing Yankees fell, 8 to 4, before the Cleveland Indians, but lost no ground to the second place Boston Red Sox, who were taken in, 1 to 2, by the Chicago White Sox, desptts Jimmy Foxx'S homeruns, No. l6 and l7. Gehrig clouted for the circuit twice for the Tanks.
 A pinch-h home run by Carl Reynolds with two men on base in the tenth gave the Washington Sem ators a 0 to 8 win over the Detroit Tigers, and the Philadelphia Ath- letics licked the St. Louis Browns behind Harry Kellys six hit pitch- ing.
