PETE APPLETON DROPS VERDICT
 TO JOSE GOMEZ
Yankees Knock Terryville Boy Out of Box in First
 Game of Double Bill
By GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press staR Correspondcn,


 New York, Aug. ie.-(Up)-Every fan, every player and every mothers son who knew the story paid silent tribute today to Lefty Gomez for the most valiant baseball perform ance of the year.
 His mother died in Rodeo, Calf, just about thetifne he was putting on his Yankee uniform for yester- days double- header with the Wash ington Senators. Manager Joe Me- Carthy broke the news to him.
 Lefty, you can make your own choice" Mccarthy said. "It's your turn but you can do what you think best"
 I'd rather pitch," replied Gomez "1t won't give me SO much time tc think"
 Then with 2S,ses fans, none of whom knew of Gomez's cross of sorrow, was looking on, Gomez pitched one of the masterpieces of his career. He blanked Washing ton. so, allowing only three hits. Only seven men got on base, and only one of them reached third. Lefty himself made two singles in four times at bat, and his first hit started a fve-run rail.
 When the last man was out Lefty trudged of the mound and Up the steps to the Yankee club house. He pulled of his uniform and sat down in front of his locker. Then he broke down and cried-all the grief and misery which had welled up in- side him during his courageous pitching performance released itself with tears.
 All around him the Yankees sat silently. Joe Mccarthy came out of his little cubicle of an ofiice and said:
 Lefty can do whatever he wishes. He can go home or stay"
 Of in a corner Catcher Bill Dickey pulled of his shoes and said
 Lefty had everything. I never caught him when he had more stuff."
 Lefty just sat on a wooden stool with naked legs crossed, and stared at the floor.
 The Tanks came from behind with a five run rally in the eighth to make a clean sweep of the double- header. Bill Dickey'S 23rd homer with mate on base was the crown ing blow in the big eighth inning rally which gave the Tanks the sec- Ond game. The double defeat broke Washington's eight game winning streak and ended a three game los- ing string for the Tanks.
 In the other American league games Detroit biased out a 11-7 vic- tory over the White Sox, and the Boston Red Sox scored six runs in the first two innings to win their 18th straight game from the Ath- letics, 6-1.
 The National league race tight .ened up as the league-leading Chi cago Cubs continued to nosedive by losing to Pittsburg. 4-2. The Waner boys made six hits, Lloyd getting two and Paul four. The New York Giants. behind the five-hit pitching of Cliff Melton, beat the Boston Bees. Al. and advanced within three games of the Cubs. The Phil lies climbed out of the cellar by trimming Brooklyn. 11-1. The Dodg- CTS are now the eighth place tenants.
 In a night game at Cincinnati St. Louis beat the Reds. S-6. Weiland was the winning pitcher but was relieved by Harrell in the seventh when Cincinnati staged a four run rally.

 Styles to Fit Both
 Heads and Occasions
 The tendency among men to wear the proper hat for specific occasions sires wide variety of models. For business and general wear the snap brim, with slight ly lower crown, and wider brim with welt or bound edges is still the fa- vorite. Informal social occasions call for -the-face models whose brims turn up in varying degrees from the pronounced curl of the true Homburg to fiatter "dish-brim" styles. Sport hats offer much divers ity of model and material, although the Tyrolean with fore-and-aft rake and sharply f1ared brim is still the leading influence. Finishes tend to be rough. Two-tone mixtures, espe- cially on the green side, are corn- ing to the fore.
 Closely associated with hats are gloves and shoes. The gen- eral trend in fan shoes is toward a wider, more rounded toes al-
