"A YEW YORK, July 3.-There were
N 800 hitterS galore among the
VI leading batting groups in the
4 big leagues last week, but none
of the heavy hitters-not even Ducky
Medwick and Lou Gehrig-could keep
up with Paul Waner, Pittsburgh's Big
Poison" and Sam West, St. Louis
Browns better
Although Medwick and Gehrig re-
tanned the National and American
League hitting leads, respectively, both
were in the batting doldrums during
the seven-day span ending yesterday
and as result were no longer sporting
lop-sided margins.
Gehrig collected only two hits in 10
chances to fall % points to $40. while
Medwick, the Cardinals ace clouter,
dropped II points to 405.
West Makes Big Jump.
NJ THE same time West. banging
out 13 hits in Is times at bat for
a $40 average for the week, climbed
all the way from ninth to second be-
hind Gehrig, with a 1858 average.
Waner even outdid him, getting Is hits
in 26 chances for SIT weekly mark
and a 1885 season average, thereby
taking stranglehold on second place
back of MedWick.
George Selkirk of the Yankees and
Johnny Mize of the Cardinals also
turned in 500 averages for the week,
Selkirk advancing to a tie for, fifth
in the American League and Mize
taking third in the National.

\ 4 ILWAUKEE, July 3.-Archie
|" San Romani. the little Kan
w san, was primed for a shot
at world record in the
1,5O0-meters feature of the fiftieth
track and field championships of the
Amateur Athletic Union today, in Mar
auette Stadium. and the big Kansan,
Glenn Cunningham. wasn't certain he
could do anything about it.
Suffering with cold, an ailment
that has upset him several times dur
ing the past year, Cunningham. holder
OF the world mile record and the
worlds mos. consistent foot-racer at
the classic distance, wouldn't admit
that he had another beating from San
Romani coming. But he wasn't too
optimistic over his chances of con-
tributing much to an assault of Jack
Lovelock's great 3:478 world mark for
1,500 meters set at Berlin last year.
This latest in the series of cinder
battles between the two Kansans, stood
out as the blue-ribbon event of the

But over in the other fellows back
yard it's still anybody's ball game. At
the moment the Cubs are holding the
reins by the measly margin of half a
game over the Giants. In their back
breaking efforts to be the No. crew

in four-game winning streak, and
the Giants have done it six games in

After ealloping over the gas house

decision on the strength OF four

which was Augie Galans game

cause they NAV not do any better

When East meets East. Joe Nc
Carthy's heroes are going to get much
sitter opposition from Boston and
Washington.
Gather around closer and I will tell
you why. Both of these teams were
strengthened by that recent swap in
which the brothers Ferrell and Out
fielder Almada we're peddled to the
Senators for Pitcher Buck Newsom
and Outfielder Ben Chapman.
Red Sox Prayer Answered.
ROSTON's prayer has been for
righthanded pitcher with real
gifts and a background. Newsom,
strong as an OK. who in delivering the
ball swings his arms like Indian clubs,
fills that want. The Red Sox also
required right handed hitting out
fielder, and they could not have
landed a better man than Ben Chap
man
Therefore. I believe that both these
teams have solved problems by this
deal. and this means that the Yankees
are going to have more trouble trying
to beat them when they next meet.
As the season wears on. the White
Sox, Tigers, Indians and Red Sox are
showing plenty of red corpuscles on
the field of battle.
COchrane is lost for the season,
but the Tigers have two worthy re-
! ceivers in George Tebbetts, hardy
young New Highlander and the more
experienced Ray Hayworth.
Cleveland and the Red Sox refuse
to be shaken off.
Four rival clubs are prepared t.
"hotfoot" the Yankees any time they
see them.

EX-B0SOX HITS .3l3
FOR HIS NEW CLUB.
Melo, Extra Player in Deal,
Cuts Down Yanks With
His Four Sateties.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


IN THE midst of a new era Of con-
quest. the Nationals paused today
to shower fluctuations upon the
i youthful head of Out1leIuer Me.o
Almada, the Mexican hot tsmale. In
something less than three weeks the
Griffith A. G. has decided that Melo
will do.
The 22-year-old speedster, who came
via trade from the Red Sox, ran wild
yesterday at the stadium as the Mats
won an a-to-3 verdict from the YAM
KEGS and stretched their latest win
ming streak to three games in a row.
During the course Of the afternoon
Melo collected three singles and a dou-
Bile in five times at bat He scored three
runs and drove another across. He
roamed all over the outfield He stole
base-and third base, at that.
Thus it is no wonder that Almada,
finally if belatedly, is attracting some
attention. Of all the players involved
in the Washington Boston deal swung
last month, Melo was regarded most
lightly. Fans followed the fortunes of
Yves Ferrell as against those of Buck
NeWSom. They watched Ben Chap
mans work in the Red Sox outfield
and the Washington species noted with
pleasure the work of Rick Ferrell be-
hind the bat.
Now it's Almadas turn to take a
bow.

Company to Help
Finance Raising
OF Sugar Beets

Los Alamitos Sugar company
which is introducing the culture OF
sugar beets in Imperial Valley will
finance sugar beet growing here to
a reasonable extent. This was re-
vealed during several conferences
held late last week in the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce, attend
ed by G.. J. Strodthoff and Bruno
Juskievicz, general manager and
field superintendent respectively OF
The Los Alamitos Sugar company
This follows closely the decision OF
the El, Centro Production Credit
association to similarly make ad-
vances for the growing of sugar
beets, as announced last month by
w. E. Walters, local manager of the
federal credit agency.
According to p L. Moore, chair
man of the chamber beet sugar
factory committee, this is the last
step necessary to insure the estab-
lishment of sugar beets here, as a
number of growers were waiting to
be assured of necessary advances
for growing the crop.
Realizing this, Chairman Moore's
committee held several meetings
with representative of the sugar
beet company and urged the neces-
sity for such action. A confer
ence of officials followed, and Sat-
urday the announcement was made
that finances will be forthcoming
Members of the beet committee are
p. L. Moore, chairman, T. B. Edgar,
Scout B. Foulds, J. w. Glasgow.
l.. G. Goar, w. E. Hancock, Harold
w. Hunt, H. Lee Eanderman, Henry
l.. Loud, E. K. Sasaki, Gordon
Scriven, P. L. Van Slyck and w. E,
Walters.
Among the largest acreages to
be planted in sugar beets are those
of the vegetable growing companies
who are seeking to reduce the acre
age of lettuce, cantaloupes and 9TH
er winter vegetables. Last year, the
price for lettuce was particularly
good, and it is feared by many OF
the growers that there may be a
tendency to over supply this season.
Therefore, the more careful grow
ers are planting more of their acre
age to sugar beets and similarly
urging other growers and shippers
to change some of their acreage to
beets, instead of lettuce.

DUCE'S 4-YEAR PLAN
OFFERED TO COUNCIL
Economic Autarky Is Objective of
National Program Explained
to Fascist Chiefs,
B, the Associated Press,


ROME, October 12.-The elements
of four-year plan by Premier Mus
solini for the development of Italian
economic independence have been laid
before the Fascist Grand Council, in
formed sources disclosed today.
The program, to give the nation
economic autarky by 1910 or l94l, will
call for development of resources un-
der four headings: Agriculture, raw
materials such as minerals, energy
production and building material
economies.
Under the latter heading, Corpora
tions Minister Ferruccio Lantini indi-
Gated before the Grand Council yes
terday, builders would be expected to
find way to import less foreign iron
and cement.
The plan would mean development
OF italian production of cereals, meat,
f. Il. textiles, oil, beet sugar, iron,
manganese. fertilizers. synthetic resin
and energy in the form of electricity
and gas.
Lantinis report showed that such
development would involve increased
acreage devoted to the more important
agricultural products. increased credit
facilities. prizes and subsidies for
necessary new industries, market
guarantees for such products as syn
thetic resin to replace metallic i'm
ports, changes in customs duties, even
in ties resulting from commercial
treaties" and eventual institution OF
entities for disciplining and co-or-
dinating enterprises necessary tc
autarky.
