Ydnks Confident Gomez
Has Returned to Form
| lefty ScdIps
Tribe, Allows
I Hits
BY ANTHONY J. PUGL1EsE

NEW YORK, June II Q.N.S0
Buoyed up with confidence that
Lefty Gomez has at last returned
to winning form, the New York
Yankees eagerly took the field
against the Cleveland Indians to-
day, hopeful Of cutting further
into the Tribes league lead.
Gomez has been Manager Joe
McCarthy's problem child this
season, and in no small measure
has hindered the Yanks' battle
for their third straight American
League bunting.
Winner Of 81 games last year,
Lefty this year has been buffeted
about by all and sundry oppo-
nents and has ben able to finish
only four of his II starts.
PROCEDURE REVERSED
Gomez reversed the usual pro
cedure yesterday and hung the
Indians scalps on his belt instead.
Limiting the Clevelanders to
seven hitS-two over the last six
irnings-Lefty chalked up his
fourth win by pitching the Yanks
to an 8 to 2 decision.
The potent bats of Bill Dickey,
who hit homers Nos. 8 and 8, and
Lou Gehrig, who snapped a bat
Ting slump with his seventh homer
and a single, featured a vicious
13-hit attack on Earl Whitehill
and Denny GalehouSe.
The Indians, meanwhile, were
virtually dormant against the
lanky CaStilian, and suffered their
third straight defeat.
2O-HIT ATTACK
In Boston, the Red Sox ran into
a 20-hit attack by the Chicago
White Sox and were defeated, Is
to 2. The White SoX barrage was
featured by two homers by Mike
Kreevich, one by Jackie Hayes and
a four-master with the bases loaded
by Monte Stratton who also held
the Red Sox to five hits.
The Detroit Tigers overcame
6 to 3 Washington lead and beat
the Senators, z to 6, in 10 innings.
The Tigers got nine hits off Chase.
Weaver and Appleton, while the
Senators collected IL off AukeI
and Eisenstat.
While Buck Newsom held the
Philadelphians to eight hits, the
st. Louis Browns defeated the
Athletics, 8 to 4, by virtue Of a
five-run fifth inning rally. Rookie
Sam Chapman hit his fifth homer
to aid the Athletics losing cause
as Newsom chalked up his seventh
victory of the season.
ONLY 2 N. L. GAMES
Only two games were played
in the National League, the
Dodgers-Cubs and the Bees-Reds
games being rained out.
Aided by Alex Kampouris'
single with the bases loaded in
the seventh, the New York Giants
defeated the st. Louis Cardinals
3 to / and increased their lead
over the Cubs to two full games.
Hal Schumacher won his fifth de.
ciSion.
In Pittsburgh, Hugh Mulcahy
pitched steadily in the clutch and
was aided by four Pirate errors
in winning, 8 to 2, for the Phillies.
The triumph was the Phils' first
| in eight starts.

Italy, France at War
; Years, Saws Goydo

ROME, Dec. 3 R.-France's bris-
ting reaction to Italian designs on
French-ruled territory was met to-
day by new Fascist charges in an
exchange of sallies which hindered
efforts to patch up Italian French
differences.
Virginio Gayda, who usually re-
fleets the government view, wrote
In II Giornale d'Italia that virtual
state of war" has existed between
France and Italy for the past three
years, but added: War is fought in
many ways-not only with cannon"
He mentioned blockade as one
form, and referred to French partici-
patton in sanctions against Italy
during the Ethiopian war.

sador, conferred with Foreign Min
lister Galeazzo Ciano on details Of

ment. British sources said the Ital-

has no designs on the Mediterranean
status quo.
The attitude is taken here that
under the Italian form of govern
ment press statements and any
largely backed movement in the
Chamber of Deputies amounts to
officially inspired action. On We'd
nesday deputies of the Chamber
chanted "Tunisia" in unison after
Count Ciano had delivered an ad-
dress OH Italy's Inspirations"
Loyalty Is Expressed.
The French, who feared the Ital-
ian tactics might be to raise the
question Of Self-determination for
Italian residents of Tunisia and
Corsica on the basis of internal dis
satisfaction, were heartened by ex-
pressions of loyalty from both re-
gions.
Representatives Of the Tunisian
Parliament presented unanimous
assurances of loyalty to France to
the resident-general and asked that
their readiness to fight to retain
French control be transmitted to the
government in Paris.
A gigantic demonstration of Cor
sicans was organized for tomorrow
at Bastia. The committee in charge
telegraphed Corsican members of
the French Parliament their "indig-
nation at the manifestation Of the
Italian Parliament" A similar DEM
onstration will be held at Ajaccio,

ever. the French say they fear its
members may be used by the Ital-
ians as a means of stirring up a re-
bellion against the French authori-
ties.
Capital Has Italian Ma jority.
Italians have more than a mere
foothold in Tunisia, which France
acquired in 1881. In the capital city
of Tunis there are 49,878 Italians
to 42,678 French-exclusive of the
military. In all of Tunisia there are
l08.068 Ffench-exclusive of the
army of occupation-compared to
81 ,289 Italians. The total native
population is 1895 ,108.
Despite the apparent preference
Of the Neo-Destours for French
rather than Italian, domination

France to Tolerate
No Interference

PARIS, Dec. 3 (P.-France will
tolerate no interference In Tunisia,
qualified sources said tonight, what
ever may be the outcome of the
French protest to Italy against the
Fascist clamor over the French
African protectorate.
The protest was made yesterday
after Italian deputies and the con-
trolled Fascist press had indicated
that Italy was dissatisfied with the
status quo in Tunisia. The Italian
foreign minister, Count Galeazzo
Ciano, was disclosed today to have
disavowed any official responsibility.
This disavowal cleared up the situa-
ton somewhat but concern per-
sisted.
The French were piqued especially
by the statement ir yesterdays
Rome newspaper II Giornale
dTtalia that Italy is "ready to
march against France if necessary"
1t was met with the comment in
authorized quarters that France no
matter what the circumstances,
would not bulge.

France, it was stated in official
circles, feels the Tunisian Ques-

agreement granted Italian residents
