Although there's only one game
scheduled in the American League
today New York's Yankees meet
Boston's Yankees in New York; ),
the Mats didn't remain exactly
idle this morning, for there was
considerable commotion going on
at Griffith Stadium, where the
Mats held a two-hour batting
practice.
Among the more industrious
Mats was Zeke Bonura, who, in an
effort to rid himself of his unholy
slump, was trying out a new bat
ting stance, as prescribed by iris
Speaker.
Upon Washington's recent visit
to Cleveland, the man they call
the greatest center fielder of all
time sought Bonura in the Wash
ington dressing room.

Listen kid" he said, greeting
Bonura, II don't like to NEEDLE.
But I've been watching you for
a couple of years-and I was
thinking that now is as good a
time as any to get this off my
chest. A fellow in a slump will
lister to anybody"
Bonura listened.
1--WE studied you" Speaker
continued, land 1 know I can
straighten you out. You should
be the best hitter in baseball,
but you get your hits the hard
way. All you have to do is
shorten your stride at the plate
and quit lunging into the ball
it gets there soon enough. In
stead of kicking your left leg
into the air, keep it on the
ground and see what happens.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-05-31

You're off balance, the way you
hit, and you can't possibly shift
your weight at the last second.
Remember, keep that foot on
the ground and shorten your
stride"
Zeke remembered.
Last night when Bonura was
returning with the Mats from
Philadelphia. Bonura bounced his
bunch-of-bananas fist off a din
ing car table and said:
by golly, I'm going to do as
Iris said and see If it helps
any!"
Bonura, collecting one scratch

NEW YORK, May 81 (I.N.S0.
If times are bad, major league ball
club owners today want more of
the same after watching an all
time baseball record crowd of
1888 storm into the Yankee Sta
dunn, while both leagues drew an
aggregate Of $4,000 fans at eight
Memorial Day double-headers.
The terrific crowd packed every
inch of available space in Col.
Jake Ruppert's massive ball yard
and saw the Yankees sweep both
ends Of double.header with the
Boston Red Sox, 10 to 0 and 5 to 4.
Thus was shattered the old record
of 10000, set at a game between
the Indians and Philadelphia Ath-
let1cs at the opening of Cleveland's
Municipal Stadium in 1882.
GROVES STREAK BROKEN
Climbing from fourth into sec
ond place in the American League
standings, the Yanks blasted
Lefty Groves eightgame winning
streak with a 16-hit attack. Mean
while, Charley Ruf1ng held the
Sox to three hits and shut them
out. Lou Gehrig'S fourth home
run with DiMaggio on base placed
Lefty Gomez to a 5-to-4 win in
the nightcap. Jake Powell of the
Yankees and Manager Joe Cronin
of the Red SoX were elected from
the first game after free-for- all
on the diamond, arising from
Archie McKain hitting the Yankee
outflelder with a pitched ball.
The Indians kept up their league
leading pace by taking two games
from the Chicago White Sox, 5 to
2 and 8 to /. Bob Feller yielded
five hits, outpitching Ted Lyons
in the opener, while Johnny Allen
held the Pale Hose to four in the
nightcap for his sixth win.

NEW YORK. May 81 G.Ns).
Scanning bright, sun-lit skies and
weather reports which forecast
that a chill in the air would
moderate by nightfall, Promoter
Mike Jacobs today announced
that the twice-postponed welter"
weight championship fight be-
tween Barney Ross. Of Chicago,
and Henry Armstrong, Of st.
Louis, definitely was on for to-
night.
AT PHYSICAL PEAK
With that the champion and his
challenger, Armstrong, hoped on
the scales for their second weigh
ing in, which revealed an ga"
pound advantage for Ross. He
scaled 142 against 1882 for Arm
strong, who has shed nearly three
pounds since the first weighing in
last Thursday, original date set
for the bout.
After that weight agreement
between the two fighters was can
celled. Ross had agreed before to
weigh not more than 142 and
scaled 14134.
Thus both will enter the ring
tonight at their physical peak.
While the welterweight division
limit is lat pounds, Ross always
scales around 142. Armstrong
usually fights at 1873 or 1874, al
though. theoretically, he can make
1873, inasmuch as he is the feather
weight champion.

The lady, on the other hand, leans

and subdued. to the exquisite and re-

than striking variety, the lady of a

In the Marital Relationship.

their wives Of any mistake they have
made.
RUT there are far more men who
stand in terror of their wives
than there are women who are afraid
Of their husbands. No man can be
the absolute autocrat nor the inces-
SAINT nagger that woman can, be-
cause he has his business to attend
to and other things to think Of besides
dwelling on his wife's faults and telling
her Of them. while she can do her
housework with one lobe of her brain
and use the balance of it in devising
ways to boss him and circumvent him.
Men show more loyalty, outwardly
at least, to their wives than their.
wives do to them. It is very seldom
that you hear man criticizing his
wife. And. no matter how disap-
pointed he is in her, or what poor
makeshift of a creature she is. he
rarely complains of her or discusses
her failings with even his best friend.
But disgrunted wives hardly ever show
such consideration to their husbands.
They broadcast their wrongs and call
upon all and sundry to see what
brutes, what drunkards, what mis-
cradle ne'er-do-wells they are mar
ried to. In unhappy marriages it is
nearly always the wife who breaks up
the home. The husband has the cour-
age to carry on and make the best of
his bargain. She hasn't. She is the
gutter.
But, on the other hand, a wife
nearly always loves her husband bet
ter than he does her. Her affection
for him stands greater disillusion-
ment than his does for her. She tries
harder to make him happy than he
does her. And she forgives him the
things he doesn't forgive her. And
50 perhaps, by and large, they break
even. DOROTHY DIX.
