The first swing around the west ern loop was enough to convince Manager Bill Terry that his Giants, in their present shape, are not likely to head off the western en- trants in the race for the pennant After feasting on the soft pickings in the East the Giants slumped badly and won only pair of games, one from Cincinnati and one from Pittsburgh, on the road.
 The Giants pitching staff begged down and Carl Hubbell was the only member of the staff to go the route on the jaunt. Carl lost a

INJURY LINK

Bad breaks in the form of Hines, of key players and injuries have cut down the Giants efficiency. The latest victim of the injury scourge is Harry Dann.ng. This leaves the Giants without capable receiver should anything happen to Gus Mancuso. Terry may have to go to the minors for a replacement since there are few able-bodied catcherS of big league caliber floating around looking for jobs. Ii worse comes to worse Terry might press old Rancho Snyder, the coach who formerly caught for the Giants, into service.
 A little thing like an arm injury does not keep Joe Moore, the Giants skinny but efficient out fielder, from moving right along Joe is one of those old fashioned ball players who can't be bothered to take time out for a minor hurt. Moore has his arm treated in the mornng and then goes on playing Lall in the afternoon.
 Day in and day out Joe gives an exhibition of how a big leagueI should act. There is none of tn pr.ma donna stuff about Joe. He plays ball for all the game is worti. His middle name is hustle. Moore ran his batting streak to 13 game before he was stopped. In the firsl 23 games of the season, Joe f..-.ed to get his safety on only two oc- caSiCns.
 Last year -.-e5re took part in l55 games and equalled Lloyd Waner's record by going to the plate 681 times He is durable, in spite of his frail appearance. He weighs 155 pounds but his loose fitting uni form makes him look much lighter. It doesn't take size and weight to be real ball player. Joe proves that. He gets plenty of power into his punches, is fast on the bases and in the outfield, and, when it comes to throwing runners out at the plate, few outfielders can match his arm for distance and accuracy.
 Moore goes about his work in a business like manner-no fanfare or acting. If he did cut up bit perhaps, the fans would notice him, but that's not Joe's way-hes satis- fled to be just darn good ball player.

 Mir.

 It was emphasized at MA, headquarters that the main pur- pose of the student aid program is to enable boys and girls through their own efforts to stay in high school when they would otherwise be forced to discontinue, Student aid payments arc wages and not scholarships.
 Mir. Dodd pointed out that tra- dltlonnlly in America needy youths have not the incidental expenses of reee education by means Of part time work for private emploers, During the depression however, such jobs have become scarce, and the number of persons seeking them has greatly increased. The N, Y. A., therefore, with its student aid pro- gram, is temporarily taking the place of the part-tlme employer,
 Many Connecticut school superin- tendents and principals have ex- pressed qualification with this branch of the youth administra- tIon's work. The program has not only meant the difference between staying in school and leaving for for many students, but much valu- able work has been accomplished.

The reclpt of a2i,OOO was an. nounced this morning by Thomas ]. Dodd, state director of the na- tlonal youth administration, to pro- vldo aid for high school and trade school students the first two months of the coming school year. Addi- tionnl funds are expected shortly to cover payments in Connecticut colleges.
 The student aid program of the MA. will be substantially the same at last years. The age limits re- main at 10 to % years inclusive. There is no relief requirement, but students who arc to receive MA. aid must demonstrate to the satis- faction of the principal that the aid is needed. AS before, the heads of schools and colleges will be in com- plete charge of the selection of stu- dents and assigning of jobs.
 Last year n few needy students weer given small sums on Q scholar ship basis, for excellence in their studies. A change in the regulations for the coming year lies in the re- moval of this provision. From now on, all students who arc to receive MA aid must do work certified as useful by the head of tho school. Since only three per cent of Con- nectlcut's students received help on this basis last year, the now rule will make no considerable change in this state.
 The principal must also certify that the work done does not take the place of work ordinarily or properly paid for on the normal budget, q restriction which prevents the dlsplacing of regular employees.
 The MA, further requires, nS be- fore that students receiving It's aid must have and maintain good scholastic standing and must take not less than three-q quarters of n full time schedule of studies in n public or non-proflt making, tax

Great Minds Have About Reached Limit Of Ingenuity, Daring, And Expense
 For Striking Film Spectacle
By PAUL HARRISON

CNEA Service Stan COrrespondentD
 Hollywood, Aug. i7--Nobody knows how iDs ell going to end, but the rivalry in producing more and more lavish musical spectacles is fun to watch just now. The money still is holding out, but there's a shortage of chorus girls, scarcity of tunes, and c famine in creative talent Press agents are exhausted and gasping for adjectives.
 The person who can walk into studio with 6 suggestion for spend- ing 9i,O0O Q second on some ex- trayaganza can write his own con- tract. It's quite problem, really, and no longer one of sheer fnagili- tude--the sets already are 70 large that people on them look like thumb-size puppets.
 Busby Berkeley started 1t away back in the carly days of sound, when 60 cuties made Q churus and a million dollars was a lot of money Berkeley was called dance direcs tor. but he applied ziegfeldian touch on a Jovian scale to the first cantor nlmuslcalB.
 Then the Brothers Warner hired him and he went to town in "42nd Street" and 6 series of progressively bigger, but not always better, gale and-gag operas.
 Enter, the Mirror
 The cycle faltered for a while, then swept ahead with "6old Dig gers of 1883" and "Wonder Bar" Tn tho latter picture Berkeley hit his stride with the mirrow waltz. That one item cost $l60,000 to stage, and for years was considered the ultI- mate in splurging.
 Now and then an assault was made on MT. Berkeley'S record, us- uaily by some producer imported from Broadway for the purpose. George White, the Scandals man, was one.
 But they couldn't rcadJust their prosccnlum- m-arch perspcctives to the VaBtncss of the sound stages of Hollywood. They couldn't, for the life of them, spend more than Sl60,- 900 on Q Ginglc ditty-and.dance number.
 Quartcr-Mi Song
 It was lip 10 the Hollywoodsmen to beat their own records. And 1t was done in glorincation of the memory of the Great dlorifier. Metro- 1lodwyn. Mayer spent c sum that generally K accepted as $2b0,- 00) for the Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" sequence in "The Great zicgfeld."
 But you haven't seen anything yot. At Warmers they're putting to- gcthcr a number that again will ol,tdazzlc anything ever filmed. It iS part of the Clark dable-Marion Davies feature, "Cain and Mabel" and will be known aS the "'rhou- sand Love Song" sequence.
 It will run exactly eight minutes and 1B seconds on the screen, and will cost c cool S300,000.
