OATH TAKING IS SERIOUS; MURPHY, HOPKINS EXAMPLES
 OF OLD FASHIONED GRAVITY
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-There is no escaping the cathedral note that attended the swearing in of the two recent cabinet appointments by President Roosevelt.
 The latest was former Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan, who was named Attorney General. Earlier came the appointment and swearing in of Harry Hopkins, former WPA chief, as Secretary of Commerce.
 Ordinarily these things are booked along as matter of course and the oath to support the consti- tuition is read off more or less casu- ally although with due respect for the fact that it is a very serious occasion for those involved.
 But in the case of Murphy and Hopkins, there was special note of gravity, if not religious fervor, that caught the few chosen spec tators off guard. Prior to taking the oath Murphy spent upwards of an hour closeted with Roosevelt in the executives chamber.

wIsEcRACk BREAKS THROUGH

On these two verses Murphy placed his hand as he was sworn in.
 There was less of old school reli- gious atmosphere about the swear ing in of Hopkins. but he took the occasion with equal seriousness. If ever there was a blase what-the- blazeS party, on occasions it has been Hopkins. But not this time. Solemnity enwrapped him. Mrs. Roosevelt made it the occasion for giving him Bible since he is a close family friend, and upon it he took the oath.
 It was not until the spectators were outside that they could shake off the ritualistic atmosphere. But wisecracking Washington took hold again as one ermarked: "'In God we trust, is replacing the brain trust"

MURPHY SOLEMN

Murphy, usually jovial, was as solemn as Hindu prophet. He had scarcely a smile for even his close friends among the group and was quite obviously impressed by the situation. Then came the swearing in by Associate Justice Reed of the Supreme Court. Murphy had his own Bible for the occasion, one pre- scented him at the age of Is by his mother when he was graduated from grade school.
 ITO Dear Frank from mama on the day he graduated, June 26. 1908," was inscribed on the fly leaf.
 But that was not all. Once upon a time his mother had marked two preferred verses, Isaiah II, 4-5.
 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and she shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins. and faithfulness the girdle of his reins"
 (Note: the next verse begins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb," etc. That was not marked)

Champs 1ripped
As Tribe Takes
Tigers Tip
FeIIer Scores 10th
Win; Bonuro Homers
Giants to Victory
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


There aren't enough great pitchers
in the American League to keep the
New York Yankees from another
championship, perhaps, but their
rivals freshly formed policy of play
ing their aces from the top of the
deck promises some unforeseen in
reference
Young Bobby Feller muffled the
Bronx bombers on four hits for eight
innings yesterday to enable the
Cleveland Indians to triumph, AZ.
This was welcome answer to the
plea of Detroit's Manager Del Baker
that other clubs follow his example
of aiming their biggest guns at the
Yankees. He fired Dizzy Trout,
Tommy Bridges and Buck Newsom
at the New Workers on successive
days last week and won two out of
three games.
Murphy Nicked for Game.
Poised as any veteran, Feller en-
gagged Monte Pearson in a pitching
duel which in the end was not de-
cided by either, although Feller got
credit for his 10th victory against
two defeats. Both were removed for
pinch hitters and the Tribe teed off
on Johnny Murphy for three tallies
and the ball game in the ninth, with
Ben Chapman driving in the WIN
ming runs on double.
Meanwhile the Tigers extended to
seven straight victories the string
they started with the noble expert
ment against the Yanks They bested
the Boston Red Sox, 9-8 and 60,
dropping the Sox within a game of
Cleveland's climbers.
The AS were trounced, 60, at
night by the ST. Louis Browns, who
have been in the American League
cellar long enough to know their
way around in darkness. Vernon
Kennedy gave only three hits and
his teammates four home runs ac-
counted for all the Brownies scores.
Reds Rally Trips Phils.
Cincinnati's rampaging Reds had
to come from behind to beat the
Phillies, 10-7. Seven pitchers saw
service in the -for-all batting
practice. A four-run cluster in the
fourth off Gene Schott, whom the
Phils recently obtained from the
Reds, decided the outcome.
The St. Louis Cardinals collected
IS hits. including home run by
Terry Moore with two on base. to
blast the Brooklyn Dodgers, go.
Lefty Bob Weiland held the Flatbush
Floogies in check on seven hits.
This defeat. reduced the Dodgers
to a virtual tie for third place in
the National League with their hated
enemies, the New York Giants, who
climbed over Chicago into the first
division by beating the Cubs, 81.
Both New York runs we're homers
by big, bountiful Zeke Bonura, his
fifth and sixth of the season.
Boston's game at Pittsburgh was

innings.
Johnny Rigney and Vic Frasier
weren't exactly allowing the Mats too
many liberties. but Washington made
the most of its six hits to break a
losing streak of five games.
Bobby Estalella beat out a bunt
with one down in the third, stole
second and scored when Buddy
Lewis rif1ed a double of the right
field wall. Lewis scored when Cecil
Travis punched single to left. The
Mats added their other run in the
fifth when Taft Wright tripled to
the center-field corner, scoring
Lewis.
Bob Prichard. recruit first base
man, failed to impress at the plate,
but his fancy fielding tickled the
fans. Jimmy Bloodworth, slated to
remain on second base indefinitely
whacked a double off the left-feld
barrier and was a slick article afield
The hitting streak of George Case,
incidentally, finally was halted at 20
games.
The Mats and White Sox were to
clash in double-header today at
Griffith Stadium, with Ken Chase
and Joe Haynes slated to pitch for
Washington and Jack Knott and
Thornton Lee due to toll for Chi
cago.

have Light Heavyweight Champion
John Henry Lewis ready to submit
to a physical examination here to-
morrow to determine whether the
26-year- old Negro is able to defend

His announcement came after the

The N. B. A. has directed that
Pennsylvania Athletic Commissioner

highly regarded Bob Feller, 10. in

Dutch can't understand it-but
Leonard can't win on the road. At
least he can't win anywhere near
as consistently. And ball clubs play
as many games on the road as they
do at home
Thus far this season Leonard has
captured six victories. four of which

pitching at home His two triumphs

occasion to score six runs in the

Leonard made his first start on
the road this year at St. Louis. He

was removed after giving up six
runs on nine hits in seven innings.
Next came Al loss on 10 hits
at Boston. Then those successive
10-7 victories, followed by a 6-5 de-
feat for the Mats at Detroit, with
Pete Appleton relieving and being
charged with the loss.
That Boston loss has been the
only defeat charged to Leonard. On
other occasions the Mats either have
rallied to win or relief pitchers have
been debited with the defeats.
Dutch, anyway, is a pretty handy
fellow to have around Griffith Sta
dium. For six innings yesterday he
allowed the White Sox only one hit,
a crisp single to center by Mike
Kreevich in the second inning. The
other Chicago hits, all singles, were

He hasn't been picking his spots.
In his first engagement here he
spanked the Yankees, 81, on six
hits. Next time he trimmed Phila-
delphia. 6-3, on nine safeties. His
third home appearance saw him
whip Cleveland by identical figures.
Yesterday he became the first WASH
ington pitcher to register a shut

lowing Chicago only four hits to
gain 80 victory.
1t all adds up to something ter
