WHITLEY strolled to the mound and

In his next starting performance,
Whitley almost duplicated his bril-
liant performance against Jersey City
when he held the Montreal Royals
to one hit and famed nine.
Not only is the husky right -hander
looked on as an excellent hurler, but
he also is regarded by the various
club owners as terrific at the box
office. His strikeout performances
and his color" have been turning

Farr in Action.

"YOU can't tell much about fighter
in a training camp, as you
know" writes sideliner. But I have
seen Tommy Farr in two fights
against Max Baer and against Neusel.
I've been following the fight game for
many years, have pretty fair idea
OF how fighter looks in action. Farr
is a strong, rugged fighter, with a
pretty good left hand. He keeps it
moving. He has q pretty fair right,
but 1t isn't q Schmeling or q Louis
right by several notcheS.
"Farr knows how to move around
He's game enough and he can take
his share. But he isn't the type to
start Louis guessing. The best way
to beat Louis is to get him muddled
mentally, as Schmeling did. Farr
can't do that. Any stand-up boxer
or fighter Is going to have trouble
with Louis, who has two hands ready
and loaded for any opening that
comes along.
1t takes ring cunning and real
punch to beat Louis and l don't think
Farr has either I saw Max Baer
nail him with two good rights without
doing him any damage. But this is
entirely different from a furry OF
lefts and rights from Louis. Nobody
can keep taking these for many
rounds"

nv cRANTJAND RTcE
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

"A yEW YORK, August 5.-Early
August may be trifle too
soon to open up any world
4 series gossip, but the stage
seems to be set already for the next
show
Last March, all the available dope
at hand indicated the Yankees and
the Cubs, They were the two ball
clubs that had most Of the equipment
needed in hitting and pitching, which
Is the major portion of the menu.
Picked last March, there is no
reason for any one to switch now.
An accident attacking Joe Di Maggie,
Gehrig, Dickey, Gabby Hartnett or
one or two others might have a
somber ef1ect-but that part of it
belongs to fate-not to the figures.
Yanks' Artillery Heavier.
A S BETWEEN Yankees and Cubs
the former outfit still is manned
by the bigger guns. The Cubs have a
punch worth looking at-but nothing
that quite matches the combined
"a eAASAy Va ~ NAdS S6lO, SCllllk, DIChSy
Rolfe, etc.
In the same way, the Cubs have
their share OF pitching, but nothing
to outclass such people as Gomez,
Ruffing & Co. The Yankees may not
be great ball club but they are
stronger than an average pennant
winner, with more power than most
pitchers can handle, day by day.
Turning back to last March. we
recall again the statement from
Jimmy Dykes that his White Sox
would be the club to chase the
Yankees to the wire.
Well outhustle them ALL" Dykes
said. And I'm not trying to fool
you. In addition to that, we've got
a better ball club than most people
know about. Well have some good
pitching and some good hitting-but
more than this, we'll have a lot of
hustle, and that goes a long, long
way"

pointment before this session OF Con-
greSs ends, the Senate would have no
opportunity to confirm until the next
January. Nevertheless. there are ap-
pearances which suggest that Mr..
Roosevelt would prefer not to make
the appointment until after Congress
adjourns.
When the vacancy arose, in May,
there was widespread assumption that
Mr.. Roosevelt would appoint Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, who later died
The Senate almost universally hoped
and almost formally urged that Rob-
inson be appointed. So conspicuous
was the Senate's favor for Mr.. Rob-
1nson that newspaper man, question:
ing President Roosevelt, humorously
reversed the process by which justices
are created-he asked Mr.. Roosevelt
il he was going to confirm the ap-
pointment made by the Senate Of
Robinson to the Supreme Court"
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt ever intend
ed to give the vacancy to Mr. Robin
sumed that he was somewhat embar-
rassed by the Senate's informal but
conspicuous proposal Of Robinson
Robinson was IS years old. Hence il
Mr.. Roosevelt appointed him he would
be subjected to some jeering in the
light Of what he had formerly said
about appointing only younger men
to the bench. Also. appointment Of
Robinson would not have been salts
factory to the radicals and extreme
liberals who have much weight with
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Looked to Court Bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt at that time had some
hope of relief from his dilemma.
There was pending in the Senate his
court measure. That, in It's original
form. would have given him oppor-
tunity to appoint six justices, and in
Its later modified form two justices
now and one more next January. II
the court measure had passed, Mr..
Roosevelt could have appointed Rob-
inson and at the same time could
have. so to speak, diluted Robinson's S
age by naming one or two other JUS
tices younger in age. And he could
have diluted Robinsons conservatism
by appointing other justices more ac-
ceptable to the radicals.
All this was changed by Robinson's
death, and changed still further by
defeat Of the court measure. MIR.
Roosevelt has now only one vacancy
to f1ll. In the present situation the
question is whether Mr.. Roosevelt will
AL the vacancy before the session Of
Congress ends or afterward. He asked
the Attorney General to give him an
