Giants Go on
Victory Spree,
Gain on Cards
Terrymen Near League
Lead After Boosting Streak
to Seven Straight.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 18.-The New
York Giants went after the st.
Louis Cardinals National League
leadership today with a n-game
winning streak-the seasons long
empowering their drive.
The New Workers haven't lost q
game since May 9, when they were
knocked over by the Philadelphia
Phillies. That was the day that
Manager Bill Terry injected himself
into the Giant lineup to replace
Sam Leslie at first base. Terry has
connected safely in every game
since and the Giants have won two
from the Phils, two from the Chi
cago Cubs and pair from the Gin
cinnati Reds. Yesterday Terry let
Leslie go back to his position and
directed the Giants 8-to-6 win over
the Pittsburgh Pirates from the
coaching line
The peculiar thing about the
Giants winning streak is the fact
that they have been outhit. The
Terrymen hit safely but 10 times
in winning their last seven games,
while their opponents drove out II.
However, Giant hitting was more
timely, as evidenced by the Al runs
they manufactured, compared ITO
opponents 81.
Castleman Breaks Through
Clyde Castleman, who won Is
games while losing for the Giants
i last year, finally broke into the
1886 win column yesterday as New
York defeated Pittsburgh. He
pitched only 22-3 innings, but he
was on the mound when the Giants
three-run burst in the fifth clinched
victory. Doubles by Mancuso and
Jo-Jo Moore drove in the three
markers. Bartell homered for New
York and Vaughan for Pittsburgh.
The victory enabled the Giants
to keep within half game Of the
leading Cardinals, who pounded out
a 10-to-3 decision over the Phillies
to give Dizzy Dean his fifth VIC
tory of the year. Dir gave up only
six hits. Joe Medwick's homer, two
triples, and single led the Cards
14-hit attack. Pepper Martin also
clouted a four-bagger for st. Louis
and Camilli hit one for Philadel-
phia.
Brooklyn's Dodgers banged out a
dozen hits but left II men stranded
on the base paths and lost to the
Cincinnati Reds, 3-2.
Chicago at Boston was rained out.
Gomez Beats Cleveland
In the American, the leading New
York Yankees were held scoreless
i've innings by their old teammate,
Johnny Allen, but in the sixth they
unleashed a six-hit attack good for
five runs, and went on to defeat the
Cleveland Indians, 8 to 4. It was
Lefty Gomez fifth victory.
Rick Ferrell's ninth-inning homer
gave the second place Boston Red
Sox an 8to-7 decision over the
Chicago White Sox.
The Detroit Tigers won out by
the same margin, 8 to 7, over the
Washington Senators, as a result
of a two-run rally in the ninth.
st. Louis Browns won out, 8 to S,
over the Philadelphia Athletics.
Elon Hogsett, acquired from De-
troit, became one of the few Brownie
pitchers to go the full route this
season.

No figure that is dominated by
the waist can be lovely. AS the
difference between bust and waist
diminishes, the figure takes on
the general contour of barrel.
A 6-inch difference is a fair-to-
middling waist and gives you
some claim to symmetry, but it
is not uncommon to see figures
with not more than an inch or two
difference-and no Waistline at
all.
When the scales start climbing,
the figure takes on waist first.
However, it is comforting to know
that while it is easy to gain, it
is equally easy to slim down this
proportion.
The following set of exercises
will redefine your youthful lines
and restore these pivotal muscles
to flexibility:
Get about four yards Of wide
elastic to harness to the leg of the
davenport or some other article
of heavy furniture. Pass the
doubled elastic around the leg OF
the furniture, holding the ends in
each hand.
Position: Sitting on the floor,
legs extended. Grasp the elastic
as you would reins.
Movement: Using only the waist
muscles, bend forward. Reverse
the motion and bend back as far
as the elastic permits. This exer-
else is fun and gives you some
what the same action as rowing a
boat.
Exercise 2.
Position Sitting on floor, legs
extended, feet slightly apart, hands
clasped back of head, fingers
locked.
Movement Twisting only at the
waist, touch the right elbow to
the left knee and the left elbow to
the right knee. Repeat IL, later
so times. When you get really
supple, try to touch alternate ell
bows to the floor space between
the knees.
Exercise 3.
POsitiOn-Sitting with legs
tucked back under body, feet out,
at sides, hands clasped back of
head.
MOvement-Try to touch the
right elbow to the right heel
and the left elbow to the left
heel. Alternate sides. Start with
six times, later increasing to Is.
Here is your favorite exercise of
bending to touch the floor with
new twist added for the good of
your WaiStline!
Position: Standing, feet apart,
one arm bent at elbow and placed

Sirth st. N. W., tUhen pet otDnerS

By MILTON A. BOSLEY, D. v. M.
Although rare in the United
States, the boxer is sturdy and
powerful dog with courage and fl
deity. BY many, he is mistaken
for bulldog, because of the fact
that he is more or less of this
origin.
This breed is entirely a German
one, although Americans some
times believe it to be of Chinese
origin because Of the Boxer inSur-
rection. Strange as it may seem,
however, this animal is seldom seen
save in his native land and in the
United States.
When first observed, this dog
suggested the bulldog and, al.
though the origin of this breed is
uncertain, it may claim an ancient
heritage. Somewhat similar to the
pit bull of England, in that he may
be termed the fighting dog Of Ger
many, his conformation is differ
ent. When fighting, he never runs
away or lets go his hold and in
variably sticks until the last. For
this reason, he seldom loses, for
he never gives up.
The infusion of the bulldog
blood in the boxer came about
approximately Is years after the
Civil War. The bulldog of that
day, however, was considerably
different from the present bull
dog that we see in either America
or England today. AS he is found
in presentday American homes,
his ferocious appearance most
often bellies an affectionate ma
ture.
Although having the same
makeup of the bulldog and the
same gentle nature to their mas
tiers, courage is their great virtue
and, while not particularly vicious,
they will never give up protecting
those for whom they have an af-
lection.
This breed, in my opinion, is
making Roadway in America, as
statistics show that registrations
in the American Kennel Club are
increasing every year.
In general appearance, the
boxer is a medium-Sized, short
haired dog, lively, muscular and
active, and almost arrogant in his
carriage.
