SILVER STREAMS
 DEFEAT SLOCUM
Lillian Boucher and Irene LabOnte Feature SOft-
 ball Engagement

The Silver Streak girls put over a good game yesterday by defeating the Slocum street girls softball team 12-5, Lillian Boucher and Irene Labonte featured for the winner. Lillian Boucher certainly forgot all about her knitting by clouting a home run. Irene Labonte the first baseman clouted a three bagger. The wonderful support given by the rest of the girls helped to win the game. The Slocum girls gave the Silver Streaks thrilling game even though they did lose. Eva Lizzie, pitcher for the losers pitched a nice game. At the end of the game Donald Lessards and Boucher, man. agers of the Silver Streaks had a happy expression on their face and smiled as if they had put over some thing big when it was reported that no fistic session took place after the game.

it easy, not pull out all the stop. marked "heroic". This is especially true when all your heroics will gel you is a gold watch and the sobri- quet "iron horse"
 Granting that Gehrig's refusal te give-in and miss game when ht is injured is good for his scrap book and ego, wonder if it is good fol his team? There have been times when Lou was younger and better when he was a better first basemar injured than anyone who could have been put in to replace him. But doubt if that is true today. He knocked but one ball out of the fielc against the Indians in the crucia game Monday, and it was plain that he was favoring his badly swollen thumb.
 Suppose a manager found himself with team composed entirely o1 men protecting a consecutive game streak? Picture team where the catcher had a cracked wrist but in- sisted on going behind the plate and the pitcher demanded his right to work, fractured skull or no frac- tured skull; team where the short stop hobbled about with sprained ankle, the second baseman with pneumonia, the third baseman with beriberi, and the outfield with ad- vanced cases of chestnut blight.
 It wouldn't take the supporters ot such a team long to cease admiring such foolish gameness and demand that it's players be replaced by able bodied workmen. Yet such a team is entirely possible. In this coun- try all men are free and equal and if one man can stay at position until he drops, so can all the others
 Not Good for Game
 Unless Gehrig relents before toe many more years have passed and goes to the bench the rules of base ball should be changed. The pres ent set-up makes no allowance for wheel-chair at first base, or a crutch. And it won't be very long before Gehrig will have to employ one or the other. The Yankees should have ground rule whereby a fly ball dropping in Gehrig's wheel chair, liner richocheting off his crutch or shawl, would be good for no more than two bases. And there should be rule stating whether Gehrig's foot or the wheel of his chair must touch first base to con- Stitute an out.
 There would be no end of compli- cations, in fact. I think Gehrig would do the game great favor if he would just up and go fishing one afternoon next week. If he hasn't any tackle would be glad to lend him some, and I might even throw in can of worms to-boot.

New York, July 21-(UP)-I know this will brand me as heretic of the first, second, and even the third waters, but I feel obliged to say to- day that of all the things that bore me in baseball, nothing bores me so much as Lou Gehrig's feat of play ing 2,042 consecutive games for the Yankees.
 The fact that Gehrig has not missed a league game since that afternoon of June l, 1925, when he replaced Wally Pipp at first base, leaves me cold and I find the count ing of the games he has played a much better means of wooing sleep than the counting of sheep.
 Oh You Lou!
 To come right out and say so I consider Gehrig's insistence on play ing even when he has fractured (such as he now has), concussions, fever and the all-round miseries, as abnormal and none too fattering. Usually it is the dumb or the desperate who continue to carry on while in pain. The human thing to do when you're hurt is to take

The Occidentals place, and re-

a foreign country, although they
seldom mingle with the Chinese

about young Italian girl who had

that she was one among them. Alice

dier in Young Revolutionist." !"
Andrea Malraux's chief interest is
in situation, as is shown in his

vividly of the uprising of 1927. Edgar
Shows main interest is in the
creative writers among the Chinese
themselves. He has collected q
group of stories writer by young
Chinese authors of today in Living

Although the novels of China
tomorrow will depict war and the
rebuilding of ancient cities that
have been wiped away, there will
be in the minds of the Western
writer's the picture of the East that
Marco Polo painted in the 18th
century because the characters will
still be the descendents Of the Great
Kubla Khan.
