Boy Seal ped in
Game of Indians

BOSTON, Aug. 3. CUP)-A game
of cowboys and Indians was given
realistic touch when one of the
boy participants was "scalped".
The cowboys cries of "heigh-o

chased and caught seven year old
Don O'Brien. He jerked two tufts

We cannot let men and women

Common. ordinary folks are be-

The committee recommended a

Liner Slowed TO
Prevent Battle
Over Corrigan

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (UP)-The
ruckus over whether Manhattan
Or Brooklyn borough shall be the
first to greet Douglas Corrigan
on his return from Ireland caused
the United States lines to order
its liner Manhattan to slow down
today SO that it will not arrive
until p. m. Thursday.
At that hour, it was believed,
it would be too late for anybody to
hold a parade and perhaps bat
tie in the harbor between the two

be avoided. Each committee had a
boat ready to dash out into the
harbor and snatch Corrigan off

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-There
are two points of view concerning
the place of health in our econo-
mic scheme in the United States.
II may be urged on the one hand
that since poor health is directly
associated with low income, poor
food. bad housing. that a health
program is secondary and that
1t is necessary first to effect sweep
ing economic reforms which will
automatically solve these problems
by raising the standard of living.
AS against this view, the Tech
nical Committee on Medical Care
proposes health as the first and
most appropriate object for ma
tional action.
The obvious reason for that de-
cision is that we know how TO
proceed in the fight for health.

niques. Public health administra-

YANKEES, BACK

POWER TO STAY
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, July IA 1N.SD
The Yanks are back in first place
today and it may take quite a BIZ
Of blasting to get them out OF
there. For the Yanks have what
it takes to lead in their own
circuit and that's sheer. unadul
terated power.
There is no finesse about the
Yanks and they need none. They
simply stand up and slug. They're
the Jack Dempseys of the dia

The late Miller Higgins would
have loved this bunch of Yanks
Always a banjo hitter in his own
playing days, the little Miller had
no use for any except the big
husky bozos who could drive the

HARD TO DISCOURAGE
Hug used to say: None of
those four r-hits-to-a-run fellows like
! used to be. Give me the big
boys who can break up a game
with one wallop."
Those are the kind of fellows
Joe Mccarthy now has and
they're awful hard to discourage.
The Browns found that out again
yesterday when they walloped
four Yankee pitchers for a dozen
runs only to have the Yanks win
out in the tenth. 1912.
The YankS made IA hits and of
these four were doubles, two
triples and three home runs. Lou

INDIANS FALL
The Indians fell off the top
rung of the league ladder when
they dropped their second straight
to the Senators. 4-3, as Harry
Kelley outpitched Boo Feller. The
Senators did it the hard way for
their sixth straight victory, scor-

TRAVIS INJURY
is CAUSED BY
SLOWNESS AT I'd

Cecil Travis, a pretty polished
ball player in other respects, has
one lesson to learn, and if a three
cornered spike wound on his right
knee is evidence, he's mastering
the subject the hard way.
WaShington's brilliant young
shortstop must master the art of
getting from his fielding position
over to second base on double
plays in time to be set for the
runner, otherwise he'll have more
than one spike wound before he
is through with major-league ball.

cuSSing Travis temporary absence

days sixth straight Washington
victory and the second in a row

COACHES TRAVIS
Seated on his dressing stool,
clad mostly in his small clothes,
Bucky confessed he had talked
to Travis about greater speed on
covering second on double plays,
and he has had OSsie Bluege talk
to him, as. we'll as show him.
you've got to be on the bag
well ahead of the runner to get
set for the throw" Bucky was
saying" otherwise you are not
in a position to shift your legs
away from the slide of the rum
ner.
Travis is usually lucky in
meeting the runner at the bag.
still on the go himself, and
that's why he isn't poised to
avoid possible contact with the
spikes"
WEATHERLEY NOT BLAMED
No blame is attached to Right
Fielder Weatherley on whose
spikes Travis injured himself yes
terday. A runner has a right to
the base for which he is running
and it is up to the fielder to keep
his body out OF the way.
Cecil spent last night at George
town University more as a pre-
caution against possible blood
poisoning than through any imme-
diate suffering he was undergo
