Tricky Hits Help
Yankees Break
Dutch's S Spell
Griffs' Ace at Lost
Finds Winning Hard
Way Is Beyond Him
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-THE last
time Emil Dutch) Leonard won a
ball game he was sitting on the
bench watching his pinch-hitter
drive across the necessary runs and
a relief pitcher protected the lead for
four innings. Obviously it was
lucky victory but there were no COM
plants. Dutch was way overdue to
have a little luck
But this game proved to be only
a brief respite from bad luck. His
teammates are betraying the suety
knuckle- -baller again, as witness his
4-to-0 beating yesterday at the
hands of the Yankees.
Leonard gave up only six hits
and three of them were tinged
with bit of luck. 1t didn't make
any difference, however, except in
Dutch's earned-run average. At
the rate the Mats were getting no.
where against Marius Russo of the
Bombers, they still could be up there
swinging without having scored.
Still Tough Luck Pitcher.
Dutch was due to be beaten by
the Yankees, who had bowed four
straight times this year to the for
mer Dodger, but yesterday he didn't
even get run for his money Four
hits were all the Mats could pro-
duce and the only time they had
Russo on the run they spoiled it
by bad base-running.
All of which is by way of saving
that Leonard still is the tough-luck
pitcher of the Washington club He
has notched up IL wins and five
of these were by one-run margins.
Two others were by two-run mar
gins and three were by three-run
margins. Hard luck? But the Nats
at least make him win the hard
/ way.
! Dutch grabbed a pair of wins
from the Yanks, to 2 and 2 to l.

decision over the Tigers.
Only Four Balls Well Hit.
The Mats, in brief, simply are not
in the habit of scoring runs for the
fellow and yesterday the hex worked
two ways. With the Mats standing
helplessly at bat. the Yanks were
getting a fair share of breaks.
Witness, for instance. the chron-

INVISIBLE SPENDING"

President Roosevelt's new in
visible spending scheme knocked
the old congressional crowd virtually
speeches." observed Paul Mallon,
veteran Washington columnist, re-
Gently. Hours afterward they had
not reRained their breath sufficient
ly to comment aloud.'
Mr.. Malion does not exaggerate-
the invisible spending" idea is one
of the most amazing things ever to
come out of often-amazing Washing
ton. To tell the story in its chron-
illogical order. you have to begin
with that growing DOGGY. the nation
al debt.
The legal debt limit-though few
people seem to know this-is fixed
by Congress. And it can be changed
only by the will of Congress. At
present. the limit is established at
S45. 900, 100000.
The national debt is now some
SAL, 300, ZOO, 900. And it is slated
for sharp rise next year. The Ad-
ministration has apparently aban-
doned all hope OF balancing the bud
get, and has decided that continued
and perhaps increasing. deficit f.
nancing is a necessary and semi
permanent part of DIR fiscal policy.
Thus, the President and his adj
visors have found themselves un-
comfortably close to the point where
it would be impossible to add to the
debt, and the government would
have no way whatsoever of raising
revenue beyond its income. The OBJ
vious solution was to request that
Congress Increase the debt limit.
But that isn't as simple as it sounds.
The present Congress has shown
itself to be definitely economy.mind
ed, at least by comparison with lis
immediate predecessors. Early this
session representatives of the Pres
ident sounded out leading congress-
men on the possibility of swiftly and
quietly passing bill to boost the
debt limit. The answers they got
were not reassuring. Consensus
seemed to be that the odds were we'll
against the bill going through-and
that, even if White House pressure
could turn the trick, it would only
be done after long and bitter fight
that might prove definitely harmful
