Foxxs HedvY Hitting
Features Penndnt Race
Can Top Ruth S
Record # Pace
Continues
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, June 8 UNS.)
Neither the excitement engendered
by the cloSeness of the pennant
races nor the constant shift in the
standing of the teams can keep
the spotlight today from that
grand old veteran Of the Red Sox
Jimmy Foxx.
In 43 games the big first base
man has hit II homers and driven
in 66 runs and is one Of the main
reasons why the Red Sox today
are tied with the World Champion
Yanks for second place in the
American League.
Those figures don't appear to
amount to much in cold type, but,
broken down into understandable
comparisons, they represent one
Of the greatest slugging streals Of
all time.
For example: If Jimmy can
maintain his present pace through
the season he would finish with 81
homers, which would top Babe
Ruth's all-time record Of so.
WONDERFUL RECORD
And his current runs-batted-in
speed would find him with 236
runs driven across the plate at the
end Of the season. You may sur
mise how wonderful this would be
when you recall that Hack Wilson
set the all-time high for r1TnS
batted in for the Cubs in 1890
when he drove in 100. Lou Gehrig,
Of the YankS, holds the best Amer
ican League mark with 1874 in 1891.
It was Jimmy's 18th and lTth
circuit wallopS-good for four
runS-that were largely inStru-
mental in giving the Red Sox q
T6 decision over the Indians
and moving them ahead of the
Senators and on even terms with
the YankS, who blew a pair to the
White Sox, lilo and 10-6.
That low moaning sound you
hear from the Bronx is the wail
of Joe Mccarthy over his slipping
champions. The YankS had q five
run lead going into the ninth, but
they blew it. Gerry Walker hit a
homer with two aboard to tie the
score in the ninth and the same
hombre drove in the winning run
in the 18th.
The Giants moved back into
first place by taking a pair from
the Cubs, "A, in 10 heats. and
Al, in regulation time. The first
was q pitching duel between Cum
bert and French, and the Cub
Southpaw would have had shut
out had not Jurges lost a pop fly
in the sun.
HUBBELL POUNDED
Old Carl Hubbell was hit rather
freely in the nightcap, but SenSR-
tional support and his own steady
pitching in the clutches carried
him through.
Lou Fette, whose name is be
coming synonymous for hard luck
this year, pitched another good
game for the Bees, but the Pirates
beat him, Al, when Bob Kl1nger
gave the Bees only six hits.
And those amazing Dodgers put
on a forr+run splurge in the ninth
to nose out the Cardinals, IS,
for their fourth straight victory,
a sure indication that the age Of
miracles is stiIl with US.
The Cincinnati Reds, playing
under the floodhghtS Of their
home stadium, defeated the Phil

Barnett was in excellent form to
match par for the course. On the
outgoing nine he took four strokes
off the regulation figure, with a

the fourth, fifth, sixth, and

then looked up thinking Of Leo's
last words that afternoon.
He closed the book suddenly and
stood up. He went to the phone
and asked for Leo's number, only
to be informed that the storm had
wrecked the wires. The thing preyed
on his mind. He began to recall
Biblical passages that could be ap-
piled to the present situation. "A
mans sins are always. =" he broke
off, not daring to finish.
Dawn was just beginning to creep
over the freshly mown hay fields
when Silas drove into Leo's yard,
Smoke poured from the chimney.
Through the kitchen window he
could see Leo sitting disconsolately
at the breakfast table. He glanced
up at Silas' knock and came to the
door.
Hello, Leo" said Silas. II been
thinkin over about that gray.
Reckon I was tryin' to drive too
hard a bargain. Tell you what, I'll
give you $135 for the critter."
Leo looked bewildered.
"You musta had stroke of con-
science, Silas. That amt as much
as the horse is worth, but I'll take
it. need the money"
1t was Silas' turn to look bewild-
cred. He had expected Leo to balk,
demanding more money and was
willing and ready to pay it.
However, a trade was trade. Silas
reached into his pocket, produced q,
thick roll of bills, and peeled of the
required amount. Leo scrawled out
a receipt, signed his name and the
transaction was completed.
"The gray's in the barn." Leo said,
and carelessly waved a hand.
SilaS nodded, returned to his buck
board and secured a halter rope.
Despite his good resolutions he felt
that instructive. satisfying warmth
at having negotiated close deal
and come out the winner.
Silas stepped over the barn door
and paused. He felt suddenly cold
and weak. Sweat stood out on his
forehead.
The rear end of the barn had
caved in, the result of a bolt of
lightning. A heavy beam had dropped
from the roof and was now lying
diagonally across the body Of the
big gray. The horse was dead.
Silas could never remember Know
ing such q feeling of helpless rage.
He whirled, only to confront Leo's
sober face.
Leo peered into the. barn and
seemed surprised at sight of the
dead animal. why, that's too bad,
Silas. It's a shame I didn't know

reasonable. They dickered. Leo
finally knocked off $25. Silas wanted
Leo to knock off $50. Leo stubbornly
refused. Silas went into the house.
Leo drove his horse home.
The next day Silas expected Leo
to return, ready to talk lower price.
He knew that the owner of the horse
was in difficult straits. And he in
tended to take advantage of this
fact. 1t never occurred to him that
this attitude was not consistent with
the teachings of the church which
he attended regularly.
When Leo drove his horse into
6ilas' barnyard he found Silas pitch
ing hay into the loft.
Hello, Silas," Leo said. Mighty
fine load of hay you got there"
Silas looked over his shoulder,
stuck his fork upright in the hay,
produced large red and white ban
danna handkerchief from his hip
pocket and began to mop his face.
Never mind about the hay, Leo.
I'm busy man. Are you ready to
talk sensible about that horse?
Ready to take fair price for him?"
Leo plucked straw and began to
chew it. His mind was made up,
but it would never do, he knew, to
let Silas think he had a propo-
sition already formed.
Leo pointed with his straw. THAT
roam on the nigh side of your team,
6ilas, amt fit to be hauling hay.
You need this gray I got here and
need it bad"
"Mebbe," answered Silas. "An'
you need the money"
Leo grinned. 1--WE otter get to-
gether then, Silas."
I'VE otter" saids Silas. "An' we
will, if you talk sense"
Leo chewed his straw. Tell you
what I'll do, 81. I'll knock off an
other $40. but it's robbery"
Silas laughed and repocketed his
handkerchief. Leo, you're plumb
unreasonable. You know the crit
ter amt worth that much money.
Seems like a man who was in bad
need of funds like you would have
sense enough to snap up a good
thing when he had the chance"
Leo pulled up the grey and turned
the blackboard he was driving. "Si-
las, you're takin' advantage of me
because I need money. You amt
q righteous man."
Leo drove off. Silas returned to
pitching hay into the loft.
That night there was terrific
thunder shower and Silas congratu-
aated himself on getting his hay in
before the rain came. He felt so
good about it that his thoughts
turned to Leo, and the milk of hu-

COLLEGE STUDENTS
Can Be Employed for Summer
at $40 a Month, Acting
Controller Decides.

Acting Controller General Elliott
today came to the assistance of needy
students, ruling that the rates under
the Classification Act might be waived
SO they could be employed for the
summer by the Civilian Conservation
Corps at $40 monthly.
Secretary of Interior Ickes brought
the matter to the attention Of Mr..
Elliott. He explained that it has been
possible to pay the youths $40 under
the emergency scale when the c. C..
c. was an emergency agency. but that
the status now had been changed
to that of a regular establishment.
and it might be held necessary to put
the salaries under the usual claSsifi-
cation rating. entailing a minimum
Of $1,000 annually. If this was the
case, he added, 1t would not be posi-
BILE to give the same number the
positions
Mr.. Elliott said that under the cir
cumstances it was reasonably within
the authority" OF the Secretary to fix
the compensation, but that these en-
ployes could not be considered in a
regular status emitting them to leave
privileges.
Secretary Ickes said that the en-
ployment was being furnished be-
tween June l and September IS to
students majoring in sucn professions
as engineering. architecture, landscape
architecture, forestry. geology, history,
agronomy and business administration,
and that it not only aided them in
financing their schooling but helped

as a constructive move" today an
agreement by IA utilities companies to
try to work out methods Of compli-
ance with the death sentence" clause
of the Utilities Holding Company Act.
Mr.. Douglas would not comment
further, but it was expected he would
send an immediate reply to letter
from two utilities executives announc-
ing the agreement. Five utilities Off
cials were chosen to confer with the

In other quarters the announce
ment was interpreted as meaning that
the long fight between the Govern
ment and the power industry may be
near an end.
Some administration officials ex-
pressed hope that this foreshadowed
an early resumption of utilities con-
struction, including expenditure in the
next five years of S2,000,000,o0 to
IS ,000, ,0o0.oo0 for line and plant equip
ment.

FOR PRISON GUARDS
A. F. G. E. President Urges Dunn
Bill, Which Would Raise
Pay of EMPLOYEES.

Charles I. Stengle. president of the
American Federation Of Government
Employees, appealed to the Fiscal Al
fairs Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee yesterday to report
favorably the Dunn BILL which would
raise the pay and improve the working
conditions of guards at District penal
institutions.
Under existing conditions, he de-
elAred, "the guards are just as much
. prisoner as the men they guard"
Ray L. Huff, general superintendent
Of District penal institutions, submit
ted data showing guards at the Jail
work on an average of Sc hours a week,
while those at the Lorton Reformatory
and Occoquan Workhouse average SO
hours a week. A number of them,
he pointed out, have had no pay in
crease in years, due to the failure Of
Congress to provide funds for salary
step-ups.
Statistics also were submitted show
ing 81 additional guards would be
needed to establish a 44-hour work
week for these employees. The cost
would amount to $780, 900 a year.
The Dunn bill would establish q 40
hour work week for the guards and in
crease the pay Of all those receiving
less than $4,000 year by 25 per cent.
The base pay of the guards now is
$500 q year.
