REDS TIE RECORD
AND CLIMB NOTCH
Make Lone Fielding Assist
in Beating Dodgers, Go
Into Third Place.
BY the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
BROOKLYN, Aug. 6.-The come
backing Cincinnati Reds stretched
their winning streak to five games to-
day, equaled . major league fielding
record and climbed into third place
in the National League race by wal
Looping the Dodgers, II to 8.
They clubbed three pitchers for II
hits, one of them Harry Crafts homer
with the bases loaded in the first in
ming, which sent them out In front
never to be headed.
The record-equaling performance
was for making just one fielding as
sist in the full nine innings. That
one was credited to young Whitley
Moore. the winning pitcher, in throw
ing out Dolph Camilli in the third
inning. Four other clubs had turned
in record tying performances, begin
ming with the Chicago White Sox
in 1917, and followed by the Boston
Red Sox in 1924, the Chicago Cubs
in 1892 and the New York Yankees
in 1894.
Drives in Five Runs.
In addition to his 10th homer Of
the year, Craft also hit . single and
drove in q total of five runs to pace
the attack. Billy Myers clouted q
homer, double and single and sent
four tallies across, and Lew Riggs hit
three for three.
Bucky Walters started the game for
the Reds. but developed wildness i'm
mediately and Moore was handed the
assignment. He allowed three hits in
the seven innings he worked. The
victory was the fourth straight for
Moore, yet to be defeated this year.
The Reds went into today's game
tied for third place with the Chicago
Cubs. The Cubs defeat in Boston
gave the Reds = margin Of one full
game in the No. ; spot.

CHICAGO. August e.-With four
victories in their five games in Cleve-
land. st. Louis and Chicago. the tour
ing Nationals tomorrow will wind up
their western wanderings with q
double-header against the White Sox.
The Mats have a chance to finish with
q 500 mark for the western portion
Of this jaunt. After losing five straight
at the outset, they now show four
wins against six defeats. A twin VIC
tory will send them to New York with
an even break.
Monte Weaver and Wesley Ferrell
will start the Washington pitching
tomorrow against the White Sox. They
will be opposed by Monty Stratton
and Thornton Lee, the latter a pitch
ing victor over the AS as recently as
last Thursday.
George Pipgrss, the former Yankee
pitcher, made his debut As an Ameri-
can League umpire In today's game.
Pipgras was drafted from the minors
to fill the gap left by the injured
Harry Geisel. It is doubtful If Geisel,
who was injured during the Mats
series with the Browns, will return to
active duty.
Luke Appling came up with one Of
the prize plays seen by the Mats this
year when he dove in back of second
base for Leonard's smash in the
fourth and Tipped the ball, from a
prone position, to Bozie Berger on
second. It forced the slow-moving
Rick Ferrell to end tough inning for
Lyons.
Zeke Bonura. who has done every

livelihood comes from the publicity
field are appreciated, but some times
some one takes it upon himself to
condemn that force for good. A most
noted example is the war which Will
liam Terry, manager of the New
York Giants baseball team, is now
having with sport writers in New
York and elsewhere. Mr.. Terry,
called Terrible Terry" by the sport
writers, goes to some length in a
Saturday Evening Post article to de-
fend his stand which sport writers
call antagonistic and that has not
helped the feeling any.
Now, the sport writers are in a
war with Mr.. Terry and his good
publicity in the future may be rather
scarce. The sport writers claim that
but for the publicity Mr.. Terry has
received from the newspapers he
might have still been a $500 a year
worker.
1t would, however, seem that a
person in the public eye, especially
for selfish reasons, should be consid-
crate to news writers for if one were
to pay for all the publicity man
like Bill Terry gets, it would take
a considerable slice of the $4,000
salary he gets each year. And re-
CARELESS of what he says to the con-
trary there are very few persons
who dislike flattering publicity.

FOR INCOME TAX
Editor ASkoV American:

Editor Askov American:
Carl E. Davidson had a good arti-
Gle published in the issue of the
American of January Is, but in some
of it am of a different opinion.
l may be wrong. He says: "At
times it seemed that the depression
was licked"
could not think that because what
little progress was made was on bor-
rowed capital and taxes on peoples
living, which reduces the buying
power so there would soon be more
products than there would be buying
power for, and that is where we are
now. Nobody gets better off by living
on borrowed money. And he also says:
''The sinister forces of Fascism and
Communism are working overtime
now to undermine our government"
That sounds as if they are work.
ing together, but they are in opposi-
ton to each other; the Fascists say
that they will clean up the Commun-
ism, but there is no Communism for
them to clean up unless it should
be in Russia, and they have not
started yet, but are conquering coun-
tries where people had started to
down the power of capitalists. The
only salvation for the capitalistic
power is Fascism, so the people by
that will be cut off from having
anything to say about government.
The capitalists all over the world
seemingly are in favor of such a
government, or they would not keep
up trade with the aggressors, as a
robber never deserves sympathy or
assistance and will never get it from
decent people, but the victim of a
robbery nation should be comforted
the same as the victim of highway
robber is comforted by decent people.
Without such assistance by keep
ing up trade, none of the aggressors
in the brutal men-killings during the
last few years would be able to OBJ
tain their goal; beginning with the
Italians in Ethiopia. That shows the
way the big capitalists want it to be.
Mr.. Davidson comes close to de-
nouncing Communists, but right after
that he writes: eff we had a CO.
operative commonwealth, there would
be no huge fortunes controlled by a
few" That is a long step to take
toward Communism and it is a hard
task to get cooperation when a few
are the owners of nearly everything.
We would have to pay tribute to the
capitalists in many directions and
not be independent of them. The
only way I can see is an income
tax to the full ability to pay, as
