GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE

Crimes Defeated SherdeI leo, But Cards Reach lst

(This is the best individual pitching performance for any 27th day of May)
 Burleigh Grimes great work in allowing the Cardinals but two hits, was responsible for Brooklyn'S vic- tory, l to o.
 Although Grimes did not allow St. Louis to reach base, except Baird and Paulette on singles, he narrow ly escaped being drawn into extra innings to settle scoreleSS argu- ment with Jack Hendricks newest pitching star, Bill Sherdel.
 Sherdel, himself, was hurling a brand of ball just a shade removed from that which Grimes uncorked, allowing only four singles.
 Olson scored the only run of the game when he reached first in the eighth by being hit, went to second on O,Mara's sacrifice, stole third and romped home on Hickman'S single to right. Hornsby then nabbed Wheat's hot .liner and doubled Hickman of first.
 Paulette hit over third in the Cards eighth inning, stole second and continued on to third when Miller begged low to Doolan. Marty Kavanaugh then had the Cards only opportunity to drive in a run with a single, but he raised to Myers.
 Note: Bill Terry, of Brooklyn American Assn. Club, beat Louis vile to 0 in 1888, with no hits, but he allowed six passes. Fromme, Cincinnati, defeated Pittsburgh in 1911, 1 to 0, giving them one hit, 8 double, by Hans Wagner. He also hit batsman, making a total of three bases which he was respons- ible for as against Grimes two.

A sudden heart attack struck

The angina pains were reported
authoritatively to be intense and

the Pope's physician. administered
an Italian patent drug used in
cases of angina pectoriS.
DeliriOus With Pain
The Pope was delirious with
pain. No visitors we're permitted
to enter the sicksEoeuls

The Pontiff's condition was so
grave that DR.. Milani remained at
his bedside throughout the day,
leaving it only briefly when the
painful attacks subsidized. DR.. Mi
lani already had spent almost the
entire night in the sickroom.
Just before the pains reached

Muscles Afflicted
Intensification of attacks OF
pain throughout the Pontiff's body
and particularly in his legs, medi'

the fact that muscular paralysis
has begun following paralysis OF
the nervous system in his limbs.
His muscles, it was said, con-

causing pain of indescribable in

Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins today reported several IA
vorable developments in the con-
ferences she is holding here in an
effort to settle the General Motors
automobile strike.
The situation today, she ex-
planned, has boiled down to point
where one factor stands in the
way of a reopening Of peace ne
gotiations.
That factor lies in the refusal
of the United Automobile Workers
to evacuate Sit-down strikers from
General Motors plants, and the
refusal of General Motors to begin
actual peace negotiations unless
the men do leave.
Talks to Both Sides
