Heads Up Again. Surprising Gs Return for Long Home Stay
RAID ON BROWNIES
AvERTS DISGRACE
FIashy Wind-up Of Western
Fling Eases Sting OF
Losing Streak.
BY FRANCIS +. STAN.

I'm ROUTE FROM ST. LOUIS,
- July 25.-Roaring eastward and
to home at long last, the Ma
- tlonals arrive in the Capital
tonight with deep sighs of relief and
feeling fervently thankful TO. ST.
Louis franchise in the American
League
Thanks to the hapless Brownies the
Griffs got out from under on
Western trip that promised to 60 down
as one of the worst in the modern
history of the firm. Going into the
ANAL lap OF their tour the Mats held
only one victory in eight Western
starts, but four wins in five starts in
st. Louis erased some of the sting.
Thus, instead of limping home as
hopelessly as they limped out. the
Mats at least had the satisfaction of
holding Cd safe lead over the
seventh-place Browns, (2) four
game winning streak, and so flock
of freshly-fattened batting averages
as a result of the 40 hits compiled in
yesterdays twin bill.
What was done in St. Louis, how
ever. failed to prove much except that
Washington can wallop the Browns
regularly The Mats have no real
laurels upon which to rest. but. on the
contrary, a severe test ahead of them
at home. There remains the slight
matter Of facing thesWhite SoX and
the Indians this week. and the Mats
have done nothing against them this
season to furnish much hope.
Can't Win on Road.
THIS much can be said for the
Grifs. Once they are at home they
ere better bail club. The records
prove this contention.
Despite their two double-header VIC
tories in as many days, the Griffs have
won only Is games on the road-East
and West-all season. Against this
mark they have lost %, for a feeble
1853 percentage. If ball team can
climb into the first division at this
rate it is performing quite trick.
The silver lining for Manager Bucky
Harris lies in the fact that with the
season barely past the halfway mark
for his outfit, only one more Western
swing is scheduled. Most of the
Griffs' future campaigning will be
done at home. with few invasions of
Boston, New York and Phila delphia
slated.
q The Mats record of five wins as
against eight defeats came as
pleasant surprise, in view of the poor
start. They dropped their first seven
games, extending losing streak to
10 in row. Not even the most opti-
mistic Griffman foresaw five wins in
the last six games.

COWS over the head with an iron mall

of the world, Max Baer." That was
another mlcrophone prophesy that
came true.
Yes, the boxing world has been full
of colorful personalities. mustn't
forget the present heavyweight cham
pion of the world, Jim Braddock. Jim
isn't a very fluent performer on the
radio. He doesn't care much for per-
forming in any way, and perhaps
that's the reason why he has seldom

THE greatest interest in q fighter
was probably evidenced when Joe
Louis, the present sensational con-

the N. B. C. studios. OF course, the
boxing fans had read in the papers
that Joe was going to be on the radio,

fore he submitted to an interview, and
didn't crack a smile until he was
asked If he could knock Make Baer

Joe didn't smile, but he answered

an employe Of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry
asked why the plant handler had
put the questionable hog aside, mas
much as the inspector had not been
there when the carcass fell to the
floor. Why hadn't he just busted it
OF and sent 1t along with the rest?
He wouldn't dare send 1t along.
He knows I'd catch it In the cooler
and then he'd catch hell. They clean
the floor here every night, but that
hog will have to skinned"
We went into a room where hog
carcasses were arrayed in parallel
rows, extending far back int the foggy
darkness I shivered IL: the damp cold.
This room Is chilled tt take the
animal heat out of the carcaSses," the
chief inspector explained.
T ASKED him how many hogs and
cattle were killed in this plant each
week. He said about 5000 hogs and
about 1900 head Of cattle. Nearly
TOO people were occupied in slaugh-
tering and processing these animals
for consumption as food. A big job
for the inspectors.
A substance which the inspector
said was leaf lard hung on rows OF
hooks. 1t looked like tallow drip from
monster candles. Ten men were at
work in the "boning room." taking
bones from sections of hogs to pre-
pare meat for chopping.
The chief inspector led me to a
"cell," an area inclosed In heavy wire
screening. This, he explained, was the
retained room" He showed me the
lock on the small cell door. It said:
Bureau of Animal Industry"
"Only our inspectors carry keys" the
chief said.
The retained room" contained 10
hog carcasses bearing tags like the one
I had seen the lay inspector put on the
hog that had fallen in the floor. The
inspector pointed to bruised carcass.

have had localized disease symptoms.
The diseased parts have been removed
and it is perfectly all right, but just for
safety weN give it the heat treatment" :"
The odor in that section Of the plant
where lard Is made was almost over
powering, 50 I was glad when we left
that for the place where cattle entrails
were being prepared. An inspector
was bending over table, carefully ex-
amining kidneys. Another was scrap
ing hearts, tongues and livers.

T APPROACHED an inspector. His
uniform was freckled with blood.
He said he was looking for cysts, prin-
cipally. He found q kidney that
seemed to be studded with jelly beans.
"Cysts," he said, and tossed the de-
fective organ into red barrel, q gar

inciosed chute to another "cell' like
the one where they put the retained"
carcasses. The door to this Gagged in
clousre did not have a lock, however.
It had q metal seal. The workman in
side, shoveling the condemned part
into . surrendering tank, could not get
out until that seal was broken ofdcial-
ly by o Federal inspector. The seal
cannot be broken until all the con-
demned stun has been reduced to
fertilizer at . temperature OF 240 de-
srees. This takes three hours cooking.
This account is backward. The first
duty of the Federal meat inspectors is
to examine the animals before they
are slaughtered. The "ante -mortem
inspector, as they call the officer whose
duty this is, must be at the plant at
$50 in the morning to look over the
hundreds of cows and pigs that will be
made into beefsteak or bacon that
day. He must go through the pens
where the animals are placed when
they are taken of the trains or trucks
that bring them to the end Of thei:
trail. And If his trained eye sights
anything suspicious" he must put a
metal tag in the animals ear, tag
that says, ~. S. Suspect" After

tailed inspection is more than 80 years
old. / didn't know it and bet you
didn't, either. There are United States
inspectors in about $50 communities,

comes from some 1,500 plants.

"For instance" he said, 1--WE only
allow 3 per cent cereal in this kind"
The inspector watches, too. the
temperature of the room in which I'M
cooked sausages are kept. 1t must
not be more than 81 degrees.
IN THE same section Of the plant,
80 or 40 workers were standing
at long tables, filling the sausage cas-
ings with meat, tying the "wieners"
or franks" at proper lengths and
stamping the long coils with that
circular symbol Of health safeguard:
~. S. Inspected and Passed by De-
partment Of Agriculture" The chop
ped meat was shoveled into cylindri-
cal machine, which fed it through a
nozzle into the castings. Squirting out,
it looked like toothpaste being squirted
from q giants toothpaste tube. As
the sausages were completed, sections
of them were looped and placed into
tin boxes or cardboard cartons. The
boxes and the cartons likewise bore
the Federal inspection label.
Sausages of a variety that doesn't

I can tell you that sports broad
