Sport Stunts
 BY PAP

When Wally Berger came up tC the National League seven years ago he was tabbed as a brilliant prospect, one who was likely to carr a rightful place beside the great Iright-handed sluggers of the past For some reason he failed to live up to that promise. He hit well enough, and mighty hard, too. But somehow he lacked the inspira- tion to become standout. Per haps it was the second division complex which seemed to cloak the Boston Bees.
 Now that the big blonde batter is with the New York Giants, Ma tional League champions and in the thick of the pennant fight, he may come into his own. Certainly there is every reason for him tc produce.
 For one thing, the home park ot the Giants with its extremely short fields is made to order for his long drives. Berger is pull hitter and most of his smashes go to left and center.
 Berger is no spring chicken. He has celebrated his 31st birthday Over a period of years, his home run output fairly well matched that of the leading clouters of the National League. Only Mel Ott Chuck Klein and Gabby Hartnett outrank him among home hun hit ters in the senior circuit.
 A bad break in the season open. CT put Berger on the sidelines for the first month. He was shag- ging flies in the outfield before the game when a wind-blown drive cracked his right index finger. The finger was dislocated as well anc the result was that Wally wore a cast for several weeks. The injury has not completely healed and ever now occasionally bothers him.
 The New York Giants have had their eye on Berger for some time With injuries keeping Hank Leibei and Joe Moore on the sidelines and Mel Ott laundering in the worst slump of his career, Bill Ter ry made determined bid and fi- nally landed his man.

 INNING NO. TEN
Purple Rally Spurs Moose to Seven-Run Splurge
 in Added Frame

The Extra inning" Elks worked themselves overtime again last eve- ming in Douglas, but to no avail, as the Moose, irate over the Pur- ples' spelling their apparent ninth inning win, went out and shook their Black Legs around the paths full seven times in the first of the tenth, to walk off the field with a l2 to 5 victory in the Elks at home" on the Island.
 Hiding Haglund was the fair haired boy who broke the to 4 tie under which the two teams had la bored since the seventh inning, when the Moose put across two runs to even the Elks' early lead. Haglund booted one on the nose and sent it sailing far and high to bounce off the light wires in deep left over into the hap crop, where the pellet hid long enough to allow Haglund to scamper all the way round. Being as that smack came in the first of the ninth, things looked fairly rosy then for the Paps, and continued to take on an even more rosy hue as the first two men up for the Elks in the last of the inning quickly bit the dust.
 Mightiest Break
 Dick Mcdonald came up then to cross the Moose, however, demon strating to the home folks that he had not lost his punch by lacing a two-bagger into left field to set the stage for the mightiest break of the day. Molly MacSpadden bounced what appeared to be a cinch for Fritz Schmitz to gobble up, but just as Fritz was ready to tuck it away, the ball took a side- ways skip into the old cellar in right field, to put Mcdonald across for the run that once more equalled the score, and sent the game into the dime frame.
 Fat grew the batting averages of the Moose as they hit around in the first half of that tenth inning Five bingles rolled off their war clubs to combine with walk and Bud Fosters second wild and woody 'heave of the game to chalk up sev- ien runs off Hurler Koski and put a period to his mound chores.

ECONOMY MEETING
IS DUE LATE TODAY
10 Per Cent Cuts Sought,
Except in Relief, Army,
Navy, Etc.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt will meet this
afternoon with representatives Of more
than a score OF independent and emer-
gency agencies and establishments to
outline his plan to bring about a 10
per cent saving in the funds appro-
priated for their use during the present
fiscal year.
The President figures that if this
10 per cent cut is actually accom-
plished, he can bring about q saving
Of approximately $40o 100000.
Preliminary to this economy confer
ence Mr.. Roosevelt conferred this
morning with Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and Daniel Bell, act
ing director Of the budget. They
worked out tentative details to be SUBJ
mitted to the afternoon gathering.
Relief Outlays Not Counted.
The President. in discussing his
saving plan. made it plain that he is
determined to balance the budget this
year; that is, to balance it so far as
possible without including the great
outlays being made entirely in the
name of emergency relief. There
fore, it is expected he will mince no
words when he gets the independent
agency representatives seated about
him in his Office. He will take pains
to impress on them that Just because
this money has been allotted, there
Is no reason why it all should be
spent. His aim Is to impound this
10 per cent saving in the Treasury.
The President is not so hopeful OF
bringing about any great saving in the
old-line departments Of the Govern
ment. He pointed out that this was
particularly true in the case of the
Army and Navy.
Mr.. Roosevelt will follow up today's
economy talk with = similar one to-
morrow afternoon with members of
his cabinet.
Own Agencies Not Invited.
He did not invite to this afternoons
conference those establishments and
agencies whose money is allotted 20
them directly by the President. He is
not worrying about them. as he knows
he can personally attend to the 10 per
cent saving.
Among the agencies to be repre-
sented at this afternoons conference
are the Board Of Tax Appeals, Gen.
tral Statistical Board. Civil Service
Commission, Commodity Credit Corp,
Electric Home and Farm Authority
Civilian Conservation Corps, Export
and Import Bank, Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, Federal Communications
Commission, Federal Home Loan

tenders for the British open golf
championship gave par a thorough
going over in today's second round Of
the tournament.
Whitcombe's 36-hole total was good
enough for two-stroke margin over
Ed Dudley, big, genial Georgian whose
70 led the first round, and Charles
A. Whitcombe, brother Reginald's S
senior by three years and captain Of
the British Ryder Cup team.
Two strokes farther back was Denny
Shute, American F. G. A. champion
and winner of the British crown four
years ago. He put together successive
rounds of 73 for a two-shot advan-
tage on two other United States
entrants, Walter Hagen and Horton
Smith, and Bobby Locke, the South
African youngster who was low anna
teur last year.
Six Better Par.
With part of the field still to come
in, six men had bettered par of 70 de-
spite the fact that the Carnoustie
course had been stretched to its utmost
length of 1900 yards. In addition to
Reginald Whitcombe's 70, Smith and
Charles Whitcombe carded 7ls, while
Hagen, United States Open Champion
Ralph Guldahl. with total of 149
and Aubrey Boomer of France with a
halfway total of ISL, were l under
standard figures with TBS.
Shute and Eric Green, Briton. who
was far down the list at l55, equaled

Earl Disrupts Lords Session;

Clima1ed by Smoke
at Throne.

LONDON. July s.-The London
pre4s' today partly revived the self
imposed censorship of pre-abdication
days IN an attempt to uphold the
dignity of the House of Lords, which
had been ruined by the Earl of Moray
and his cigarette.
The tall. 45-year-old. war-wounded
earl shocked his fellow peers last
night by leisurely lighting UP and
smoking at the steps of the throne used
by the King at the opening of Parlia-
ment. He had just disrupted debate
on \ bill to broaden grounds for
divorce
The earl was escorted from the
chamber.
After it was unofficially indicated
an ancient statute might be, invoked
to penalize newspa pers publishing an
account Of the incident, the London
press divided in its treatment OF the
affair.
The Times. Post, Mail and News
Chronicle gave 4 big play to the gen.
eral debate, but passed over mention
ing Lord Moray's actions. The Tele-
graph carried a bare reference to his
remarks which, it said, were almost
maudible and abruptly concluded"
The Herald put a foot in both camp,
by printing an account of the disturb
ance in its second edition and later
withdrawing it. The Express and
Mirror alone splashed full details
under front-page headlines

In stable language, Mason requires

Lord Morsey called out above the
tumult:

Lord Darcy took up the thread OF
his discussion again.
Lord Moray sauntered from the
bench where he had spoken, hands in
pockets. He paused before the royal
throne, leaned against the railing
there. fished out cigarette and
matches. and pulled calmly while his
fellows ga1ed in astonishment.
Then Lord Fermanagh strobe for
ward and escorted the earl from the
chamber.
The House Of Commons had in
cluded in the bill q provision that

ton and cruelty, after five years OF
