YANKS BLANK
INDIANS
CLIMB TO TOP
Hubbell in 23rd Straight
Win, Is 9TH Of the Year
for the Giants

NE WYORK, May 25. (UP).-
The New York Yankees came to
life yesterday and bludgeoned out
a 40 victory over the Cleveland
Indians to climb over the Ath-
letics into the American league
lead.
Sturgeon Chandler, rookie,
assured himself of regular start
| ing berth in the world champions
lineup when he turned back the
tribe with six hits for his second
successive shutout victory. The
Yanks clouted four Indian hurl-
ers for 16 hits. Held scoreless
until the fourth inning, the Bronx
bombers torpedoed Cleveland
with an eight-run assault. Lou
Gehrig paced the New Workers
with four singles in five attempts,
driving in three runs.
The st. Louis Browns ended a
seven-game losing streak by top
ping Philadelphia, Sc. 1t was a
three-run burst in the seventh
climaxed by Harlan Cliffs homer
with a mate aboard that sunk the
AS. The Brownies raked Nelson
and Caster for ID hits, the loss
being charged to the former, and
the win to Jack Knott who re-
| lieved Thomas in the sixth.
Detroit maintained winning
pace, Roxie Lawson chalking up
his seventh victory, 81, over the
Washington Senators. Lawson
also hit the ball that decided the
issue in the second inning,
grounding to Travis who threw
wild past first to allow Walker
and English to score. The second
year graduate from the minors
held the Senators to seven hits,
and Buck Newsom gave up 10 to
the Tigers. Newsom however,
stopped the sensational hitting
streak of Gerry Walker, who aft
Ell managing at least one safety IN
the Tigers first q games, went
hitless in three tries. ,
The Boston Red Sox climbed
/ from seventh to fifth-above the
Chicago White Sox and the Sen
ators-by licking Chicago, 9-5.
The Sox scored all of their runs
off Rigney who was driven to the
showers in the fifth. Walberg
went the route for Boston, seat
tering nine hits. FoXx( with a
home run and two doubles, paced
tho ll-hit Red SOX attack.
Carl Hubbell scored his 23rd
consecutive National league VIC
tory and his seventh straight this
season when the New York Giants
downed the leading Pittsburgh r.
rates. 4-3. The win gave the
Giants a virtual deadlock for sec
ond place with the st. Louis Cards
who were idle.
Hubbell weakened in the clos
| ing stages, being reached for two
runs in the eighth, then retiring
lin favor of Melton after he had
gotten two out in the ninth. Mel

| faced filling the bases. Manager
Terry sent Dick Coffman to the
hill and he famed Dickshot for
the final out. Mel OFT clouted his
sixth homer of the year. Brandt
gave up all of the Giants runs in
the seven innings he lasted. Hub

kept them scattered.
The fourth-place Cubs were
bested, 81, by the Boston Bees

CONVICT LABOR
RULING HAILED
BY 0'MAH0NEY
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A new plan to limit maximum
hours Of labor, fix minimum wages
and ban child labor developed in
Congress today as result Of the
Supreme Courts decision in the
Kentucky horse collar case in
which it upheld a ban on convict
made goods.
The decision breathed new life
into campaign for immediate
legislation after the proposal had
been dealt powerful blows by intlu-
ential Administration leaders.
O'MahOney EIated
, Senator OMahoney Cd OF
Wyoming, leader in a fight for
a national incorporation bill, &C
claimed the courts unanimous de-
cision as a new judicial Landmark
which makes it unnecessary LOT
Congress to await a constitutional
amendment.
The court held constitutional
the AShurSt-SumnerS act prohloiG-
ing shipment of convictmade
goods into a state in violation Of
State laws.
Thus, said O'Mahoney, the court
also set it's seal of approval on a
congressional act forbidding trans
portation of goods into a State in
violation of it's laws limiting hours
of labor. fixing minimum wages
and outlawing child labor.
Spirits of hackers Of the OMa-
honey bill, dimmed when Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, Senate
leader, and Speaker Bankhead eX-
pressed a belief that a conStitu-
tional amendment offered the
only way to accomplish the old
national recovery act objectiveS,
were lifted by the decision.
Fight for 3O-HOur Week
Senator Black CD of Alabama
and Representative Connery (D.)
of Massachusetts nevertheless,
planned to introduce bills calling
for a 30-hour week for industry
and to make fight for the legiS-
lation.

Nader Still Ring Puzzle.

NOBODY ever has accused Williams
of being polished fighter, despite
his marked improvement in recent
months, so Eddie's decision triumph in
the nine-rounder last night hardly is
a stepping stone to fstiana's easy
street. Rather, Eddie still is rated as
just another light Heavyweight to the
majority of local fight followers.
Reminiscing a bit. it is difficult for
them to regard Mader's win as i'm
pressive in the light of set-ups which
have been thrown at Williams here.
Naturally you ask how Nader has
managed to tumble so rapidly in the
past year. Sickness and sprained
ankle have played their part, but GER
tainly Nader must have lost some of
the persuasiveness in his paws. It's
difficult to believe the dynamite which
trounced Tony Galento. now ranked
seventh among the heavyweights by
the National Boxing Association, still
Is there
Nader still has youth on his side,
however, and Gene Adams, his new
trainer, apparently is an expert body
mechanic. Eddie's worth watching
when he's in shape and his improved
condition was evident against Will

NADER COMEBACK

Decision Over Williams Not
ConvinCing-Batt|e With
Mann Should Tell.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

n JUDGED upward a notch, at
n least locally, by his victory over
VI Hobo Williams last night al
L Turner's Arena, Eddie Nader
New York heavyweight, today concen-
trated on his first difficult step back
toward national recognition and
sWanky hotels.
Eddie's comeback campaign, which
is somewhat ironical when you con-
slider the Irish lad is only % years
old. will assume importance in fistic
circles, or, like so many other attempted
ring resuscitations, may fade like a
98-cent sweater in the immediate fu-
ture. 1t all hinges on the outcome Of
his argument with Nathan Mann at
New Haven, Conn, on Monday
Mann, murderous puncher, def
nitely will settle few questions which
have been bothering local ringworms.
They would like to know. for instance,
if Nader merely has been frowned
upon in recent months by flstic fate
or whether he actually is washed up
and doesn't know it.
The 21-year-old Mann. who already
has garnered much respect in heavy
weight ranks, will swing the needle on
Maders boxing compass. Either Eddie
has been unfortunate very consistently
of late or he's sliding toward ring
oblivion. Mann is an excellent ba-
rometer of what to expect of Nader in
the future.

For Uncle Joe, one Of the finest

trict's league of Junior Legion base
ball and graduates of the base ball
school sponsored by the American
Legion as part Of its Americanism
program have come up to the big
show right regularly the past few
years.
Seven stars Of the Junior Le-
gion program have mad news
at ma jor league training camps
this year and one was truly
big shot before the clubs opened
their conditioning grinds.
The outstanding Junior Legion lad
is none other than Robert William
Feller who last year in his first season
with the Indians established an Amer
ican League record when he struck
out II Athletics in game. Feller,
retained by the Indians after a wran-
gle that needed a decision by Judge

only two years ago. Now in his nine
teenth year, he Is one OF the best

Doerr Red Sox Whirlwind.
p OBERT PERSH1NG DOERR, Just

baseman Of the Red Sox. He has been
going great guns down In Florida.
Five years ago Bob started playing as
a member of the Los Angeles Legion
team that won the State and regional
championships. When only l6, Hol-
lywood OF the Coast League picked
him up and he became regular
. without delay. Now it seems he is
up in the big show to stay.
The Red Sox have another Junior
Legion graduate in Fabian Sebastian
Gaf1ke, a hard hitting outfelder lifted
from the Minneapolis club. Gaf1ke
was q star catcher on a crack Junior
Legion team in Milwaukee a few
years ago.
He batted .342 for the Millers
last year and among his 213 hits
were rs homers. That hitting
was good enough to drive over
1872 runs.
Two Junior Legion graduates are
trying out with the Cubs. Kirby Higbe,
a pitcher, was the slab ace Of the
Columbia, S. c., Junior Legion team
that won the State championship in
1881, but lost in the Legion world
series at Houston. In that series
Higbe lost in 1-to-0 mound duel in
which he famed IA Chicago batters.

Ninth Round Decisive.

WHILE the scrap was close, the
unanimous decision in Mader's
favor clearly was anticipated by the
near capacity crowd of 1900. If any
doubt lurked in the collective mind Of
the crowd Nader neatly erased it in
the ninth round when he staggered
Hobo with three authoritative rights to
the head.
Hobo had given a highly creditable
performance up to that conclusive
ninth round. which. incidentally, was
tackled on when Nader requested 10
rounds and Hobo sought an eight
