Bucs' Lead Is Cut to Four
Games by Reds Comeback.
Yanks Blank Bos0x.
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


As though that weird National
| League race itself wouldn't make even
the most confirmed teetotaler see pink
elephants dancing all over the place,
the first division clubs now have it
even whackier with as creaky q collec-
ton Of patchwork pitching STATS as
ever came down the pike.
OF course, the "Sore arm-itis" for
which this year is famous has a lot to
do with it. Even the oldest inhabitant
can't remember when the four top
| outfits in as tight fight as the cur
| rent scramble found it necessary to
rely on such makeshift hinging STATS
in the stretch drive.
Take the Cubs It wasn't enough
that they had to lug old Charley Root
out Of the bullpen for starting duty
Yesterday they decided to ring in one
Walter Kirby Higbe A search Of the
books revealed he was making his first
start since he was recalled from Biz
mingham
Slab Odds, Ends Use.
For the moment, the move paid divi-
dends. Young Mr.. Higbe held the Car
dinals at bay for six innings, then gave
over to old Jack Russell, and the Cubs
took the ball game in the tenth on
Frank Demaree's second homer Of the
afternoon, to climb within four games
Of the first-place Pirates.
So it has been all down the line.
Cincinnati's streaky Reds are now
leaning on Red Barrett, fresh up from
the International League. as a regular
starter The Giants are trying to
| make up for the loss of Carl Hubbell
with the importation of Johnny Wittig
from Baltimore and Dick Coffman
from the relief lines as regular starters
And Pittsburgh's pace making Pirates
have had to summon Red Lucas, who's
no spring chicken at 36. and Dutch
Brandt distinctly overlooked quantity
in the early-season prospecting.
Some of this pitching pressure has
been lifted off Pittsburgh and Gin
cinnati with the recent return from
the hospital lists Of Bob Klinger and
Johnny Wander Nicer. Klinger, his
sore arm right again. has taken two
straight for the Bucs. Last night
Vandy came back and pitched the
Reds to 7-hit, 5-3 win over the
Pirates.
| Race Is Sizzling.
This, coupled with q 6-4 decision
the Giants took by outlasting Boston S
Bees, left the Pirates slim four games
in front of the Cubs. with the Reds
half a game farther back, and the
Giants the same distance behind
Cincinnati.

THOMAS FINED, JAIL SENTENCE
 IS SUSPENDED
Death Car Driver Must Pay $7OO to Avoid Five
 Months Behind Bars

Joe Thomas, convicted by jury yesterday on four counts-reckless driving, driving while under the in- fluence of liquor and two speeding charges-was fined $700 and given five months suspended jail sen- tence by U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray this afternoon. The jail sen- tence was suspended on condition that the fine be paid and Thomas was given several days in which to raise the money.
 Thomas was the driver of the machine which left the road at Morris Curve on the Glacire High way near Salmon Creek a week ago last Sunday, resulting in the death of Alex Conn and the serious injury of George Kezak, who is still con- fined to St. Ann's Hospital
 Sentence was passed this after noon instead of tomorrow morn ing, as originally set, so that Prose cutor George w. Folta and Defense Counsel George Grigsby can get away by plane tomorrow morning for Haines where another reported drunken driving case is to be tried. Grlgsby also is defending in the Haines case. A charge of selling li- quor to drunks also is to be heard at Haines, having been brought against c. A. Brouilette of the Gate way beer parlor, Folta said.

FARLEY HELPED HIM DECIDE

This year almost the same situa. tion developed. The party organiza- tion was frankly afraid of the Re publican candidate, District Attor- ney Tom Dewey. With Lehman run. ming again for governor they fell they could win. So, under pressure from Postmaster General Farley anC organization leaders he scuttled his immediate Senate ambition to run for governor.
 To most people it would not be sad news to have to be governor ot New York, but if wan wants to be Senator instead, then what?
 At the end of two years more of governorship, what will be in store for Lehman?
 For various reasons Lehman is not looked upon as presidential timber and further, he never has indicated any desire to wield a big influence in the National Party organiza tion He wanted only to be Senator, and now the odds are not good there In 1940 he might run for the Senate, but if the pres ent Democratic candidate for that job, Rep. James Mead, is elected, he won't want to step out of the way for Lehman And if Repub- lican is elected, he won't be so easy to unSeat.

CIO GROUP WINS
 COURT FIGHT ON
 HAGUE ACTIVITY
Mayor Is Restrained from Curbing and Deporting
 Union Members

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 27. - CIO and allied organizations won a Fed eral Court order today restraining Mayor Hague and fellow New Jer- sey officials from "deporting" mem bers of the unions or interfering with their rights to speak in public parks, distribute leaflets and carry ! placards.
 The decision was handed down by Circuit Judge William w. Clark, who sat as District Judge last spring on the injunction suit brought by CIO and the American Civil Liber- ties League against Mayor Hague and his colleagues in which it was asked the Mayor and his group be enjoined from interfering with activities of the unions and the League.
 Hopes for Appeal
 In rendering his decision, Judge Clark expressed the hope that his opinion would be appealed, and recommended a modified form of public censorship" on public speak ing with the requirement. that an advance copy of the speech must be furnished to authorities in cases where particular persons applying for permits have on previous oc- casions addressed similar audiences with resulting disturbances.
 Nc Intimidation Ruling
 The 15,000 word decision did not rule on the plaintiffs complaint that the Hague administration was intimidating owners of private e meeting halls into refusing to rent them to the CIO, American Civil Liberties League and like groups
 The judge ruled that no compe- tent evidence was presented to con- meet city officials with any groups inability to obtain indoor meeting places.
 Communism" UnmentiOned
 Also, the decision failed to men tion Communism, which mention the judge said was not necessary, because it is unnecessary to speak ''of the particular allergy with which the people of Jersey City are por- trayed as being afflicted, because proof of the idea is only allegedly, giving rise to that condition rest ing on double and triple hearsay"

Politics Plays Great Part
 M Lehman Being Candidate
 ForN W. Y. Governor, Not. Sen.
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Politics has obscured a major drama in the decision of Governor Lehman to run again for governor of New York instead of seeking election to the Senate.
 By his decision to run again for his present office-a decision al- most forced upon him as a means of saving the ticket he log damned his own political career. He and his supporters felt fairly sure he could have been elected to the two-year short term in the Senate left by the death of Senator Copeland. Reelection two years hence normally would not have been difficult. So, that way, his political future was cut out for him.
 Further, he was plainly tired of the governorship. He would have been happy if he could have dropped out two years ago but was prevailed upon to run to assure" President Roosevelt of carrying the state.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-10-27

Her screams attracted the atten- tion of the Zoo superintendent and his attendants and with long sharp pointed pole they attacked the bear and held it from the girls prostrate body.
 Another man threw lasso around one of the girls legs and finally dragged her from the bears pit and then rushed her to the hospital.
 The girl is nearly scalped. deep lacerations cover her body and she may lose her left eye.
 Blood transfusions were immedi- ately resorted to.

PRESIDENT HITS. AT PERSECUTION.
 OF JEWS ABROAD
Chief Executive Declares U. s. Will Defend Vest
 ern Hemisphere
ARMAMENT RACE NOT
 CONDUCIVE TO PEACE
Controlled German Press Cries Out at Roose-
 velt's Remarks

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, in a virtually un- precedented condemnation of na- tions which suppress liberty, per secute Jews and use threats of war to attain national ends, last night issued warning that the Unit ed States would protect the Vest ern Hemisphere from interference from abroad. The Presidents re- marks were broadcast in connection with the New York Herald-Tri- bune's forum on current events.
 The following are some of the highlights of the Chief Executive s address:
 No one can doubt the longing of most peoples of the world for en- during peace.
 :. It has become increasingly clear that peace by fear has no higher or more enduring quality than peace by the sword.
 We covet nothing save good rela- tions with our neighbors and we recognize the world today has be- come our neighbors.
 You cannot organize civilization around the core of nilitarism and at the same time expect reason to control human destinies.
 If there is not general disarma- ment, we ourselves must continue to arm, though we still insist arma- ment had reached a point of being absurd unless new territories and new controls are coveted
 We in the United States do not seek to impose on any other people either our way of life or our in- ternal form of government, but we are determined to maintain and protect that way of life and form of government for ourselves
 In all have said to you I have reaffirmed the faith of the Amer ican people in democracy.
