WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (CP).
Sit-down strikers were attacked IN
the house yesterday by Represen-
tative Daniel A. Reed, R., n, Y,
as the "most un-American thing
in America" during debate on
whether the labor department
should be required to submit data
relating to the General Motors
strikers.
Reed said that "a bunch Of out
siders" had come into Flint, Mich,
which he called "a city contented
and happy" to cause a situation
which makes it necessary to call
out the national guard.
The New York Republican
pointed out that the labor depart,
ment, which received an annual
appropriation of $24,0OO,ooGG'
should be required to furnish such
information as it has regarding
the strike situation,

BY DAVIS J. WALSH
International News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Still
sticking narrow-mindedly with the
impression that whoever wins the
1887 world series will do it much
better with what they may be ex-
pected to have next week, rather
than on what they had last month
(August) I'm setting out today to
play the Yankees against the
Giants on the "hot" and cold"
basis. In other words, an August
average can be an october flop
eroo.
I've always said, in fact, that
last month doesn't count next
week, if you get what I'm driving
at, and even if you don't let's just
skip it and go on with the idea
that a bad hot" team can and
often does beat a good cold" team
in a short series. The Giants are
hotter than a stove hinge right
now.
Of course, the thing doesn't
always work out. The Cubs were
hot in September two years ago.
But they turned cold in the ensu-
ing world series, not however be-
cause the idea was all wrong. The
Cubs had monopoly on that.
POLO GROUNDS HEAT
This time, the heat is strictly
on at the Polo Grounds. Joe
Moore, for instance, has just fin
iShed hitting safely in 20 con-
Secutive games; Mccarthy has hit
$50 for his last II games; Melton
has been the winning pitcher in
three of the last six games won by
the club; Ripple has hit safely
in his last 10 games. Moreover,
the Giants themselves have just
won six straight when the pinch
was on.
In fact, the current Cubs have
won 9 of their last IL and still
have slipped one game further
behind the pact. Most of the
Yankees, on the other hand, seem
to be cooling out-not too much,
but appreciably. And for notable
exceptions to this statement, I'll
have to commend you to Gomez,
Myril Hoag, Bill Dickey, and, with
not many reservations? the
DiMagg.
However, the following tables,
showing respective performances
of early August as compared with

his chief assets was perfect con-
troll, attained through a daily two
hour drill pitching through a
small barrel hoop.
He first brought the curve ball
to public notice in 1870 before a
crowd gathered for the express
purpose of seeing him demonstrate
the innovation.
They chalked off a 40-foot line
on the ground and placed upright
poles at each end of it and in the
middle. Goldsmith stood to the
left of one end pole, threw the ball
to the right of the middle pole
and made it curve around and pass
the other end pole to the left.
Thus were the Skeptics con-
WINGED that "a ball could be made
to arc in space" according to a vel
lowed newspaper clipping of Au-
gust II, 1870, reporting the feat.

WOIlu CILlCs
The S7.year-old Highlander,
who was in his heyday with
Pop Anson's Chicago White Stock
ingS of the '70s and '80s, thinks
the Yankees have too much power
and pitching-for any club of
these times.
But what I'd really like to
see," he said, would be a series
between the Yankees and those
teams of ours under Arson.
Every man on those teams
weighed better than 100 pounds,
and every one of them was a
great athlete besides being a
great ball player.
Don't forget Pop Arson was
the greatest hitter that ever
lived, and I don't think any
man has ever been able to
throw a ball harder or with
more stuff on it than could,
and every one of us could hit
and run and field. We'd make
the Yankees step and don't
forget it,"

except that Dizzy Dean and

who started against John Marshall
High in the opener Saturday will
not be in the lineup when the
Presidents take the field against

Eddie Rowland, an end, and
Capt. "Bearo" O'Neil, tackle, are
the two WHO missed practice, and,
consequently, in keeping with a
strict policy of the coaching staff,
will not be in the lineup at the
kickoff, although they may see
action later in the game.
Dick Burrell, Eddie Dove and
Jack Armstrong, all backs, sus-
tanned slight injuries in the opener,
and although their hurts are not
serious, they will not be used un-
less needed
Nowland's place will probably be
filled by Billy Tut, a crack end

ROOKIE MELTON
CHALKS up 10Th
WIN OF SEASON
BY PAT ROBINSON

International News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-If you
insist, I'll concede the Giants
haven't yet clinched the pennant,
but, needing only one more vic
tory, they probably will get that
in the double header with the Phil
lies today. If not, they can hardly
miss getting it in one of their
three remaining games with the
futile Dodgers.
Now that we've agreed on that,
let's take a gander at the double
header the Giants split with the
Phils yesterday.
The overworked Cliff Melton
turned in his twentieth victory
against the Phils in the opener
which the Giants COPIED, 6 to 8.
It was the first time in years that
a rookie turned in so man. wins
in his first major league season.
He showed some evidence OF the
strain he has been under recently
but a good rest should have him
ready for the YankS.
PILLS TAKE SECOND
The second game, which the
Phils won, 6-5, was the interest
ing one, not because Bucky Walt,
ers virtually won it singlehandedi
by driving in five runs, four OF
them on a homer with the bases
fuII hut because of Wayne La Mas
ter's pitching.
For seven innings the stocky
southpaw had the Giants eating
out of his hand, as he held them
to four hits. Then came the
eighth and a bliStering attack by
the never-say-die Giants. Five hits,
including a homer by Jimmy Rip
nile with two aboard, and the
Giants had five runs in and the
tying run on second. In this emer.
gency, Claude Passeau was called
on to fan Moore for the final out.
The game was then called be-
cause of darkness. If the Giants
had had a chance to play the
ninth inning they might have
settled the pennant race right
there.
CUBS SCORE
Leaving Giant and Yankee fans
to null over these developments,
we move on to note that the Cubs
kept themselves automatically in
the race by again shutting out the
Reds, 3 to 0. Cub victories now
have all the earmarks of locking
the stable after the horse has been
stolen.
The Yanks, after slaughtering
the AS is to 4, were held to one
hit and BANKED 3 to 0 by Edgar
Smith in a game halted by dark
ness at the end of the seventh.
In the other games of the day,
the Red Sox took pair from the
Senators, 81 and "A; the
Browns beat the Tigers, IS, on
Cliffs 10Th homer, and the Indians
split a pair with the White SoX.
The Indians won the first in
ten heats, 5-4, and dropped the
night cap, which was stopped
by darkness after five frames. l
