Errors Cost 81 Defeat,

WITH Pete Appleton receiving his
wv first starting chance since June
-. when he faced and lost to the
White Scx, the Griffs were to end
the Detroit series here today. Orig
finally Bucky had intended to start
Ken Chase, but he decided that such
fight-handed hitters as Hank Green
berg, Gerald Walker, Rudy York and
others presented an unfair hazard at
this stage OF Chase's career. Ken will
get his chance later on this trip.
The second game Of the Tiger Sc
vies was lost In the first inning, when
with two out Weaver walked Gehr-
Ineer and Greenberg. Here Gerald
Walker inserted . single to center,
scorins Gehringer, but Bluege let Al
nada's throw to third get through
him and Greenberg scored. When
Weaver recovered and threw wildly
past Rick Ferrell 1t the plate Walker
also scored. Errors were charged to
AlmAda and Weaver, but Bluege

LOSS Of 2-H|TTER
MONTE'S SADDEST
Beating in Detroit Fifth for
Hur|er, Eighth in Row
for Griffs.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Sta5 Cnrrespondent Of The Star


~ ETROIT, July 19-Prof Monte
Weaver is the last guy in
the world to 60 around eating
babies and stealing the
crutches of cripples, so it must be
case of mistaken identity the way
kind providence is not looking out for
him, Strictly on merit, the mild
hammered, courageous Washington
right handler ought to be sitting on
the top in the American League. But
he isn't.
Take that game yesterday. The
Tigers really took it, to l. but there
was no justice for Monte. He held
the hard-hitting Detroit club to two
hits for his best pitching performance
OF the year, and yet was charged with
his fifth defeat of the season.
The loss was the Nationals eighth
IN a row, tying their longest losing
streak In recent years, but that is not
what hurt the Griffith A. C. so much
as the fact that 1t represented another
heart breaking setback for Weaver.
Verify, Monte is the American Leagues
hard-luck champion Of 1887. That
he also Is staging the best comeback
Of the year adds to the credit he de-
serves.

'S"NSi ASS"st E'ey" AA@t sSs
MONTE really has enjoyed only two
A easy games this year. On June
- he whipped Cleveland, 8 to 2.
These eight runs represented by far
the greatest amount totaled for him.
On May 71 he held the Athletics to
three hits and won, 6 to l.
And, II you really want to become
pro- Weaver to the limit, that one bad
game he pitched-Chicago, IA; Wash
lngton, 8, on June 11-he should have
survived that. In the first four in
nings the White Sox scored 10 runs
and 8 OF them were unearned
With two out in the first inning
Johnny Stone dropped fly ball and
this touched off a four-run rally. In
the fourth Weaver himself made an
side was retired the Sox had four
more runs.
This observer cannot but wonder
what kind Of record Weaver would be
able to show today if he we're pitch
ting for the Yankees. The chances
are that he would not have a defeat
to show today And If this Is con-
sidered overstatement, listen to Man

I Iowa family Feller - Dad,
Y Mother. Pitcher Bob and
pretty 8-year-old Marguerite
agreed today that whoever dubbed
the New York Yankees base balls
"Murderers' Row." knew whereof he
spoke.
Bob, the 18-year-old American
League strike-out ace. went the route
for the Cleveland Indians yesterday,
held the dynamic Yankees in check
for eight innings-then lost, 10 !,

Nearly $4,000 fans saw the slugging
fielder from Frisco convert Feller's
curve ball into a story book hit-a
home run in the ninth inning with
the bases loaded and the score tied.
Dl Maggie rifled the ball into spacious
Cleveland Stadiums leftfield seats.
The Andrew Fellers and daughter,
here from their Van Meter. Iowa, home
to see Robert William in action against
the pennant-bound Yanks, took the
defeat philosophically. So did Bob.
Concerned Over Sons Arm.
ITS hard to beat those Yankees
with one run, they're such a
powerful lot" remarked Mrs. Feller,
mildmannered little woman. She
was more concerned with the condi-
ton Of her sons hurting arm. which
gave him trouble until recently.
We'll, IL isn't very easy" grinned
Bob. Still, If I had got that curve
to breaking properly on the last pitch
TO Di Maggie they might have been
bea ten.
He had missed the first fast one
by plenty and barely got a piece Of
the next one. Then had to give him
a curve high and inside"
Right up his alley, eh?" observed
the father.
Right where it was murder" re-
piled Bob. The ieda was to have It
low and outside"
Still Hero to Sis.
MURDER in the third degree" re-
marked Mr.. Feller. But YOU
just forgot about the slow cruve, for
while, anyway"
There was speed on this curve,
dad said the son.
Il know" the father said. under
standingly. I'm speaking strictly Of
the slow curve. You Just forgot It."
The husky young pitcher said with
determine ton:
Once 1 get my control things will
break better"
A contagious smile lighted sister
Marguerites face She was silent,
but her smile and doting glanoes
showed she thought Master Robert
the greatest pitcher in base ball
despite 'Murderers' Row"
The defeat was Fellers fourth In as
many starts this season.
Di Masgio's circuit clout was de-
livered with the count of two strikes
and no balls Nobody was out. Feller
had jammed the runwavs with a wild
throw and a passed ball after Pitcher
Red Ruffng opened the frame with
a single.

while the Tribe nicked Ruffing

Mats "Choke" in Clutch.

WITH any kind of luck, Weaver
ought to have at least nine VIC
tories as against three defeats. With
slightly better -than-average fortune
he might have displayed at this date
q record OF 10 wins and defeats
Only once this year has he failed to
outpitch his mound rival. That was on
June II. when he was beaten by the
White Sox, IA to 8.
OF the Tigers runs yesterday only
one was earned. Weaver with Ed
Linke pitching the last inning) gave
UP only two hits. Two errors threw
the game away in the first inning,
when the Tigers scored all their runs.
Washington got six hits and six bases
on balls of Jake Wade and Roxie
Lawson. but the Mats left II runners
stranded on the bases They have
this left-on-base championship for
1887 sewed up already.
Twice they had the Tigers on the
run. In the fifth inning they filled
the bases with one out, but could not
score. In the sixth 1t was the same
story. Johnny Stone struck out in the
fifth, with the pressure on, and Travis
grounded out. In the sixth Blueee
struck out in the clutch and Kuhel

LABOR'S NEW MOVES.

LABOR'S NEW MOVES.
We are pleased to see that the
policies Of certain of the G. I. 0.
Unions are avowedly fair to the
colored workers. Certain policies
of the American Federation OF
Labor long have been known to be
prejudiced to the best interests Of
the Negro laborer. In many unions
under the aegis of the A. F. of L.
the Negro is not admitted to fell
lowship; but time and again John
L. Lewis and his organizers have
stated publicly that the policy Of
discrimination is not a part of the
G. I. o. creed.
This policy of fair play is par
ticularly noticeable in the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Work
ers Union, with headquarters in
New York, which is now organiz-
ing in different parts of the coun-
try. This powerful labor group, |
with 100000 members, has 5000 |
colored workers enrolled under it's |
banner. Looking over the Off
cial record of the 23rd convention |
held recently in Atlantic City, it is
noticeable that Negroes were
given prominent part in the

meeting. Resolutions were passed
denouncing lynching and the inn
prisonment of the Scottsboro boys.
and favoring the Gavagan Anti
Lynching bill. In Justice, the
official organ of the union. several
photographs were published in the
convention number in which color
ed persons appeared to good ad-
vantage.
Most striking of this new atti-
tude, however, is the avowed In
tention of this Union to deal fair
ly with colored people in the south
In Atlanta, according to reports,
colored workers Of the dress-mak-
ing industry are being organized
with every assurance that they
will receive fair play within the
union.
The material benefits which ac-
crue from the unionizatiOn of
labor are well known. The Negro
needs these benefits he needs
more money for his work, so that
he can live better, give more eGu-
cation to his children, and build q
stronger social group life. We
heartily endorse the support Of
organized labor wherever it will
deal fairly with all workers.

p. w. A. housing experts estimated
today the depression has left the
American people In need Of at least
$500 900 new homes.
It would take that many, they said,
to replace the worst slums and give
families about the same kind Of living
quarters they had in 1890
Homes for 135, 900 low income FAM
flies may be provided in the next three
years through local projects supported

P. W. A. files. however. contain
nothing to show that private enter
prise is getting into the field of pro-
viding homes for loWer-income fam
lilies.
Factors Causing Need.
Public Works officials listed these
factors as affecting the need for houses
as the Nation rises out of depression:
l. The population has increased.
2. Home building during the depres-
sion did not keep pace with the popu-
lation. Over a six-year period in Enid,
Okla. for instance, five families were
added to the population for every new
dwelling erected. A 1885 survey in
Birmingham, Ala, showed that while
1000 new families had been added to
the city, only 500 new homes had been
built.
3. Families which doubled up in a
single home to weather economic
stress are now unscrambling. Typical
OF the depression situation, the expert
said, was LackaWanna, N. Y (popula-
ton about 25000), where 200 families
were doubled up in 1885 and the num-
Der had increased to 400 families by
1886
4. Families which migrated from the
cities to the farms during the depres-
sion are wandering back to the in
dustrlal centers in search of new jobs
HOneymOonerS on increase
5. Marriage, held back by the de-
preston, is on the increase, and nearly
every newly-marired couple demands
a new home. Statisticians, comparing
marriage before and during the de-
preston, found there were about L.
$50, 900 marriages which did not
happen in the lean years.
6. Families are yearly becoming
smaller, on the average, which means
more dwellings are needed to house
the same number of people.
I. Some of the new buildings added
no more quarters because they simply
replaced WORKOUT structures.
8. Other buildings which ought to
be demolished are still in use. If these
are abandoned, the pressure on other
dwellings will increase Some New
York experts say 100000 unfit struc-
lures exist in New York slums.
