Victory Over Champions
Gives Bob Greet Kick.

At any rate, Robin showed UP.
Cropping around to get his bearings,
gulping the heady New York atmos-
phere for the first time, the fugitive
flreballer soon got grip on the sit
uation. In fact he beat the Yankees.
He gave them four hits in eight in
nings, and he proved once more that,
If you do not bury your good pitch
ers in caves Gf you have good pitch
ers), you are just as likely to whip
the Yanks as not.
Il don't think the Yanks are the
hardest team in the league to beat"
said Robin later, as he washed down
his 10th victory of the year with a
slug of looking soda pop.
Boston, Detroit and st. Louis all
have hitters that are just as tough.
But there's no kick in the world
like winning one from New York.
I didn't finish this one, but I have
feeling that I would of finished
in good shape and won in nine in
nings if they hadn't needed some
body's else's bat in there in the
ninth. Yes. the Yanks can be had"
Yes, sir, they can-if we can get

Feller chafed under this treatment
also, for he likes to pitch, and, while
the Yankees always have made him
slightly nervous, they do not by any
means paralyze him with fear. In
fact, he usually goes we'll against
them, till the pressure of facing one
murderous hitter after another all
day begins to tell on him toward
the close of the afternoon.
Not long ago, Detroit handed the
soaking Yankees two lickings in a
row by the simple process of haul
ing her two ace pitchers off the
bench and pitching them. Bridges
beat New York the first day, Buck
NeWSom the next. And the word
began to sift around the league
striking the deeper thinkers dumb
with astonishment-that the Yanks
could be beaten by good pitching.
Maybe this rumor penetrated to
the lair of Cyril c. Slapnicka, where
Cleveland's official strategist cudgels
his brains without mercy from 9

Guest List Became
More Varied.
During other administrations each
cabinet officer and his wife gave an
annual dinner in honor of the Presi-
dent and his wife and until the days
of President Theodore Roosevelt the
unWritten law was that no one out
side the cabinet circle should dine
with the President But dining once
a week with the same small group
was a bit tiresome and so the guests
became more varied. During the
Hoover administration each men,
ber of the cabinet invited guests
from his section Of the country, thus
adding more interest to the parties.
President Roosevelt requested the
omitting of these festivities and the
one party was planned to celebrate
the anniversary of the Presidents
first Inauguration.
Murphy and Hopkins
Two New Hosts.
The annual dinner will have two
new hosts this year. the Attorney
General, Mr.. Frank Murphy, and
the Secretary of Commerce, Mr..
Harry Hopkins. Neither of these
gentlemen is married and therefore
no one is to be 'at home" for the
heads of these departments. There
is a general impression that because
there is no feminine member of the
household to act as hostess the Of
fetal need not give parties. Yet
there are certain social obligations
for the head of each Federal De-
partment even though he may not
be "a party man"
There are many still living in
Washington who remember the bril-
liant and delightful parties, not al
ways large or lavish, given by the
bachelor Postmaster General, the
late Frank Hitchcock, and the Sec
retary of the Interior, DR.. Hubert
Work, a widower when in the cab
met. DR.. Works parties were as
noteworthy as those of the late Mr..
Hitchcock. The decorations at DR..
Works parties were characteristic
of the varied interests of his de-
partment.
