week In a four-game series with the

cision in Tuesdays opener. and then
humiliated the Yanks all the way in
taking both ends of 4 double header
yesterday. 81 and I'll.
Lefty Gomez lost another OF his
heart breakers in the opener, max
ing two-run wild throw in the first
inning to hand the Tribe all its runs,
and then pitching one-hit ball the rest
OF the way, which his mates failed
to back up. In the nightcap, Johnny
Allen tossed a four-hitter for the
Indians and Bruce Campbell's three
run homer led a 14-hit attack.
Indians Boost Margin.
With the second-place Boston Red
6ox dropping an SO decision to the
Tigers, in which Vernon Kennedy
handed Lefty Grove his second de-
feat of the season, the double win
boosted the Indians margin over their
nearest rivals to 81 games.

ROME, Nov. is >d.N.sJ.-Kinp
Victor Emanuel of Italy has inter.
vened in the quarrel between
Pope Plus and Premier Mussolini
over Italy's prohibition of mixed
racial marriage, it was learned
here today.
Would SaUe Pact
The Italian monarch acted in
an effort to achieve an amicable
settlement of the controversy, and
to avoid an open breach of the
1929 Lateran Concordat between
the Holy See and the Italian gov,
ernment.
The King, in message to the
Pope, assured him that the Vati-
cans protests against Italy'S
"Aryan marriage" decree would
be given close consideration. Vic
tor Emanuel said:
'The Pontifical letter ad-
dressed to me will receive full
and due consideration"
I11passe Near
1t was not known here whether
the Kings private letter to the
Pope was a new initiative or an
answer to the Pontiff's first mes
sage of protest.
1t was believed, however. that
the monarch acted independently
to avoid a rupture or a deteriora-
ton in the relations between the
Holy See and the Italian king
dom.
Relations reached a grave i'm
pasSe yesterday after sharp pro
tests by the Holy See against the
