Two New Records

THE hard-hitting New York Yam
= KEGS cast a still blacker cloak OF
despair over the seven other teams
of the American league recently
when they established two new rec
ords in double-header played with
the Philadelphia Athletics.
The Yanks pounded out eight
home runs as they won the first
game % to 2. The batting spree
continued in the second game, with
five homers being chalked up foI
the world champions, who won the
game 10 to 0.
When the Yanks hit their stride
against the Athletics, seven of them
participated in the big show. Nine
of the home runs were divided even
ly between Joe DiMaggio, Joe Cor
don and Babe Dahlgren, with George
Selkirk, Bill Dickey, Tommy Hen
rich and Frank Crossetti cutting in
for one each.
Eight Yankee homers in the first
game broke the mark of seven
which was established in 1886, and
which has stood since that time
having been tied five times. The
five circuit clOuts in the second
game broke the major league rec.
ord for the most home runs in two
consecutive games, which the Yam.
KEGS of 1886 had set at IL.
Fifty-three total bases on their
"a hits in the first game broke the
Yankees own record of so, set in
1882. This fell two short of the Ma.
tional league high, set by Cincin.
matt in 1893.
The previous record of sever
home runs in game had been sci
by the Detroit team in the old Ma
tional league in 1886, and of the
five ties, the most recent was re.
corded by the New York Giants
who accumulated a total of seven ir
beating Cincinnati June 6, 1899
Other holders of the mark included
the AS of 81 and the Yanks of 80
Earlier this season the Yanks
were accused of losing both interest
and the touch for home run sprees
But this demonstration of long
-ange hitting quelled all accuse
ions. The champs asserted theil
aim to the au-time batting crown
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-07-13

ing just that. Though his record is
familiar one, a recapitulation
may salve the injured feelings of
Galento's supporters.
Louis has been boxing since 1884.
In four and one-half years he has
engaged in 43 fights, winning AZ and
losing one. Thirty-six of those fights
have been won by kn0ckOuts and
six by decisions. His one defeat
was suffered at the hands of Max
Schmeling, who, in one of ringdom's
most surprising upsets, knocked
Louis out in the twelfth round.
This surprising record is further
enhanced by nine one-round knock
outs. His one-round victims includ-
ed Jack Kracken, Stanley Poreda,
Biff Bennett, King Levinsky, Charlie
Retzlaff, Eddie Sirnms, Max
Schmeling, Jack Roper and John
Henry Lewis.
Since August 80, 1887, when Tom
my Farr went the route with Louis,
only one other challenger remained
in a vertical position as long as did
Galento. That lone individual was
Harry Thomas, who lasted for five
rounds.
GalentO didn't "die in the dressing
ROOM" In other words, his courage
didn't desert him before he climbed
into the ring. His bravery cannot
be questioned. When Referee Ar
thur Donovan stopped the fight in
the fourth round, roly-poIy Tony was
staggering on his stumpy legs, half
blinded by his own blood. To con-
tinue would have been suicide.
Soon the war drums of publicity
will start all over again. Some 9TH
er white hope will be built up high
enough to be considered a cham
pionship threat" But high-pow-
cred publicity won't be of much help
to the threat" when he's roped in
the same small enclosure with the
invincible Brown Bomber from
down Alabama way.

Rule Changes

THREE very important changes
have been made In the rules of
six-man football, according to Ste
phen Epler, originator of the game,
who has worked tirelessly to en-
courage its development and i'm
prove its rules.
The three alterations were devised
with a view toward increasing safe
ty of the sport.
One of the regulations calls for
a termination of one-sided games.
If, at the end of the first half, there
is a margin of As points between
two squads, the game win be
stopped much the same as a tech
nical knockout is recorded in box
ing. Should margin of As points
develop any time in the second half
the contest also viii be halted.
A second change is concerned with
football equipment. The new rule
calls for padding on the outside of
any hard material which may be
used for protective covering. Pres
ent equipment is designed for the
benefit of the wearer. Now pads
must also protect the opponent.
The remaining change is optional.
Schools where youngsters are en-
gagged in the game viii be permit
ted to use a smaller ball.
Six-man football has been steadily
growing in popularity. It is espe-
cially popular in smaller high
schools throughout the nation, and
has been adopted widely as a college
intramural sport.

pONDEROUS Tony Galento, "the

and made the most he could of it.
Though Heavyweight Champion
Joe Louis carried too many guns for
Tony, the Orange, N. j., tavern

He wanted knockout and wanted
it in hurry.
His ambition wasn't realized, but
Tony can go back to his tap room
and tell his customers, for years to
come, of the time he had the
devastating Brown Bomber on the
canvas, looking up at him. Not
many men who have fought Louis
can tell that interesting a story.

BY LOGAN JENKINS

A neat and polished gentleman
of India visited Imperial Valley
Saturday. and said it reminded him
of his own countryside, near Ma
dras.
The gentleman was DR.. D. P.
Pandia, member of the India Ma
tional Congress, a graduate of OK
ford and London universities, and
one of the young Nationalist lead
ers who some day hope to wrest
control of India from Great Britain.
I'VE in India are in much the
same position as you of the United
states were in 200 years ago." the
Indian leader declared over tea
cups at his Barbara Worth hotel
room in Fl Centre.
'We. too. desire independence and
the right to direct our own policies.
Sooner or later, India will be free, 8"
he continued in the clipped accent
of the English public schools.
DR.. Pandia was in El Centre as
part of a good will-pleasure tour of
the United States that followed ne
gotiations in Canada over dispo-
sition of number of Hindus who
wished TO settle there. He said his
visit to California was strictly in
the interests of creating good will
between the United States and In
dia.
Calmly but forcefully he fired
broadsides at British policy in In
dia.
Sixty per cent of the revenue
obtained from India goes toward
supporting the British army in the
Far East, while only a minute per-
centage goes toward hospitals and
education and activities that would
make India a better place to live.
That is one of the major rea-
sons behind the Nationalist move
ment, of which Mahatma Gandhi
is the leader"
