their present stand, the new na-
tional minimum wage and maxi.

by the House Rules Committee
with a recommendation that
action be postponed until the next
session Of Congress.
This was disclosed today in a
confidential poll which showed
that foes of the legislation now

the House.
SHOWDOWN FRIDAY
So confident are bitter oppo-
nents Of the legislation that they
picked Friday as the day for a

tee.
The confidential poll showed
seven members of the committee
opposing a rule to give the legis-
lat.on preferred status on the
calendar. Four were definitely
committed for the bill, with three
doubtful.
Thus. unless powerful labor
pressure causes members to
switch their votes, the best that
advocates Of the legislation can
expect in the committee is a tie
vote.
TWO.DAY HEARINGS
Most members publicly declared
that they will maintain an
"open mind" on the legislation

slated for Thursday and Friday.
Chairman O'Connor Cd Of

special rule be granted.
The battle for action will be
opened before the committee by

Committee on Thursday. She will
seek a rule on her bill providing
for a 25-cent minimum wage, ris-

Would Require Martial La,o
In Ohio to QueU Rabid Fans

The soil of Ohio probably is the last
stamping ground of the old-time fan
who feels very sincerely that a ball
player is hero one day and a bum
the next. and Is very vociferous about
the matter at all times.
There is, for instance, a vast dif-
ference between the attitude Of q
crowd in Cleveland or Cincinnati and
that Of crowd at the Yankee Stadium
or the Polo Grounds. In New York
ball game is a form of entertain
ment and the crowd Is for the team
that looks as though it is going to
score. But cheering for the visiting
team In any circumstances still ranks
as felony, I think, in the State Of
Ohio.
Picture the excitement, then, II
both Reds and Indians win this year,
especially as no pennant has flown
in Ohio in nearly 20 years. The Reds
won in 1919 and the Indians in 1920,
They not only have failed to win since,
but that was the only time either
OF them ever won. They must feel
1t Is about time they had another
crack at the big dough and the great
excitement.
Feller vs.. Wander Nicer.
1t would be quite a series, at that.

Johnny Wander Nicer and Paul Der
ringer-Hal Trosky and Earl Averil]

Oscar Witt, the man who dared to
try where SO many others had failed,
against Bill McKechnie, who has
pennants to his credit in Pittsburgh
and st. Louis, has done q good Job
wherever he has been, and this year
has led the Reds from nowhere to
within striking distance Of the peak.
Three months and q lot Of hard
ball games still lie between these
teams and the seasons end-and the
Yankees and Giants still are favored
to win.
But, as the field swings toward the
Fourth of July, approximately the
halfway mark, the Indians and Red,
are running strong and it's going tc
be no cinch for anybody to throw
them out Of their stride.

BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, June 29.-With the
indians leading the American League
and the Reds embroiled with the
Giants and Cubs in q three -cornered
fight for the top in the National, it
may be that the World Series will be
played on the soil of Ohio this year.
The odds against such series COM
ing to pass would have been long in
the spring. The Indians were among
the favorites in the American League,
but the Reds were quoted at 40 to
in the National. The odds would be
pretty short now. The Reds are play
ing the most consistent ball in their
league and have more speed, dash and
aggressiveness than either the Giants
or the Cubs.
An all-Ohio series would have a
wider appeal-for one year, at any
rate-than another series in New
. York. The rest Of the country has
become rather weary-as evidenced by
patches of empty seats at the games
last fall-of seeing the Giants and the
1t was hot stuff. 1T afforded an op-
portunity for fans from the hinterland
to see the World Series and the big
city in one trip, and many Of them
took advantage of it. But 1t has hap
pened four times since then and in six
other seasons one Of the New York
clubs has won. The country at large
Is getting pretty tired Of that and q
series confined to the Middle West
would have strong pull all over that
section.
Old Fashioned Fans.
As q matter of fact, If nobody went
to the games except the fans of Cleve-
land and Cincinnati and the towns
Immediately surrounding, both ball
parks would be packed. Interest in
the Reds has been greater this year
than 1t has been for many years and
when the Reds get home from this
swing through the East they will pack
them in, while Cleveland already has
given two startling demonstrations of
its enthusiasm for this years team
by jamming the big ball park on the
lake front.
These are-and always have been
red-hot baseball towns. Red hot and
noisy and sometimes arrogant. Mer-
curial, too, by the way. The fans
hit the peak when their team Is win
ming and plumb the depths when 1t
loses, neither town ever having been
able to take pennant race In stride.

HAVE 146 HOMERS
TO NATIONALS 81.
Otherwise Batting Is About
on Par-Foxx, York and
Greenberg Big Guns.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS,

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
CHICAGO, June 29.-As usual the
American League will carry the margin
Of batting power when the sixth an
nual aE-star game is played in Gin
cinnati next Wednesday. The diff
ference in squad averages, pitchers
excluded, is small-a matter Of two
points, .315 to .313-based upon the
most recent averages. But that does
not tell clear or detailed story Of
the Americans superiority in raw,
rugged batting power.
The 1e Americans who may see
service other than on the mound, have
compiled q total of 146 home runs
while the Nationals have maced only
81 round trippers. In contest such
as the all-star game, one or two long
hits may decide the issue and the
American has more players likely to
produce such a blow.
Leading off for the American side
in distance batting are Jimmy Foxx,
Boston, and Rudy York and Hank
Greenberg Of Detroit, with 20 homers
apiece. As you 60 down the roster
Joe Mccarthy will have at his dis
posal, there are Bob johnson, Ath.
letics, with Is; Bill Dickey, Yankees,
10; Lou Gehrig, Yankees. IL; Earl
Averill, Cleveland; Joe Di Maggie,

and Buddy Lewis, Washington. with

For the Nationals, 1val Goodman,
the Cincinnati outfielder, and Melvin
OFT, New York, are tied with ia
good level with the American League
pacemakers. Then you have a sharp
drop in round-trip production. Ernie

men and finish with Stan Hack, Cubs,
and Leo Durocher, Dodgers, who have
yet to make four-baser this season.
Further evidence of the Americans
batting power may be found in the
table Of runs batted in. The junior

the Nationals 544 and there Is q diff.

& THOU SHALT not steal is the
Golden Text for today, and the story
of the lesson is about Jesus and the
little man who wanted so much to
see this great man about whom every
one was talking, that he climbed into
a tree so that he could see over the
heads of the people. This tree is
thought to be the fig-mulberry, which
was a common tree in the Jordan val
ley. 1t has low spreading branches,
which make it easy to climb.
Now Zacchaeus, the little man who
was so anxious to see Jesus, was a
publican-a tax collector who was
oh and very much hated. Jesus,
however, saw him and liked him. He
called to him to come down from the
tree, because He was going to stay at
his (Zacchaeuso home. You can inn
agine how proud and pleased Fac
chaeus was. The Great Man was to
stay with him, man whom every
one disliked. He must have known
how honest and good Jesus was, for
he immediately told Him that he was
going to give half his goods to the
poor, and that if he had been dis
honest with any man he would make
it up to him 'sfourfold". That proved
to Jesus that He was right in His es-
timation of the man.
