THE COMMUNITYLOSES

IL you took a map of the United States and stuck
PIN IN every community in which the railroads make
purchases of supplies fuel equipment you'd be forced
to just about corner the pin supply of good store
For during the 1887 the railroads made purchases
from firms and industries in 12,174 cities and towns
These communities were located in 1888 of the 3,O72
counties in the United States More than 10000 different
Items ranging from string to locomotives were bought
and the total spent reached the astronomical sum of
133,OOO,OOO
An authority observes that one reason why railroad

Emotions and Health

The problem Of health is ofen
an emotional problem. Wrong
emotions entertained, INDUCED, re-

ness. When the preacher talks
about loving your enemies, the
man on the street is apt TO dismiss
the exhortation as uncomfortable
piousness, as a counsel of perfec-
ton which has no meaning for
imperfect men in an imperfect So
ciety But the fact is the preacher
is telling you something which is
one of the first laws of hygiene as
we'll as ethics. No man even for
his body's sake can afford to in
dulge in hatred. 1t is like repeated

doses Of poison, when you are urg,
ed to get rid of fear, you are not
listening toa moonstruck idealist;
rather you are hearing counsel that
is as significant for health as
advice about diet. The appeal to
Danish envy, to learn to rejoice in
the good fortune of others, is, il
you only knew it, voice whose
message bears directly not only
upon the saintliness which you do
not seek but upon the health you
do. The Beautitudes are exactly

Hold Howitzers

And Win Two
Cards Twin Victories
Extend Streak to 9:
Foxx HurIs Well
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Word has been getting around
that the World Champion New York
Yankees are just another ball club
against good pitching.
Sometimes this is like saying what
the country needs is a good scent
cigar You've still got to find the
cigar.
But the record shows that the
Yankees and the good pitching have
found each other fairly frequently
of late and an immense crowd of
1878 fans at Yankee Stadium yes
terday can attest that the rumors
are true.
Bobby Feller and Mel Harder
ratloned the entire crops of famous
sluggers to a total of nine hits in
two games and brought the Cleve-
land Indians juicy Sd and II VIC
tories.
This feat gave New York, which
earlier in the campaign sported a
record of winning four out of every
five games against all opposition at
home and abroad, a showing of
seven victories and five defeats dur
ing its latest 12-game stand against
the Western clubs.
Pitching Generally Excellent.
Good hurting was the order of the
day all around the major league
front yesterday as the teams put on
a l4-game show
The National League leaders, Gin
clnnatis Reds, were shut out, SO,
by Luke Hamlin of the BROOKLYN
Dodgers in the first game of a
double header Neither team scored
Tor eight innings, but the boys who
do things the daffy way got to Paul
Derringer for plenty in the ninth.
The Reds reversed the tables in the
nightcap to win, 8-6.
The second-place st. Louis Cardi-
mails won their eighth and ninth
consecutive games, Ito and 8-3.
with the Phililes as victims. Bob
Welland earned the shutout on five
hits. Mort Cooper gave nine in the
second game.
Hal Schumacher and Cliff Melton
combined to hold the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates to six hits as the New York
Giants took the first half of their
double bill. 9-5, and in turn were
blanked, 60, by the shit pitching of
Bob Klinger in the second session.
The l2th-inning home run by Max
West broke a 5-game losing streak
for the Boston Bees with a 9-8 VIC
tory over the Chicago Cubs.
Hutchinson Masters Red Sox.
Freddie Hutchinson, the much
pubiicized rookie right -hander,
whipped the Boston Red Sox, l0-l,
on six hits in one game of double
header, but his Detroit Tiger team
mates were handcuffed. 8-3, by the
7-hit hurting of Jack Wilson in the
nightcap.
Jimmie Foxx, first baseman and
last years leading hitter in the
American League, pitched the ninth
inning of the first game for the Red
Sox and did better than any of the
regular staff. 1t was the only in
ming Detroit failed to score.
The st. Louis Browns and Phila-

cellar struggle with fireworks and
this proved what the Browns needed
to win both games of a double bill,
11-4 and 8-6.

2O-Win Year Seen for Leonard,
One of Best Box Bargains
Mats Ever Got in Draft

1t helps for a pitcher to be good
ball player as well, and Emil
Outch Leonard, Washington S
portly knuckle-ball ace, is living
evidence. AS the Mats loafed on
their off day today, fluctuations were
in order for the 29-year -old Amer
lean League sophomore" winner of
II games and loser of only four.
Leonard won No. IL yesterday to
extend the Mats amazing winning
streak to seven straight and set a
new seasonal mark for the Harris
men. He won it because he is a
pretty good ball player any way you
look at him. His bunt for single
to lead off the ninth started the
Mats on their way to victory, and
when the Sox completed an orgy
Of wild throws after that Dutch
crossed with the decisive score in a
4-to-3 decision.
Going back few minutes earlier,
Dutch pulled a neat bit of defensive
work to save himself some possible
embarrassment. With one out in
Chicago's half of the ninth, Eric
McNair had singled. After Larry
Rosenthal had famed they put on
the hit-and-run, McNair running
and Mike fresh hitting.
Mike slammed hot shot toward
first base. The ball hoped off Jim
Vernon's glove, caromed off his face
and rolled toward the boxes. Nc
Nair was heading for third, and, in
all, it was big moment for the Sox.
But Vernon scrambled after the ball
and slammed hard throw to first
base, which Leonard took perfectly
on a hard run to beat fresh by a
half-step and retire the side.
Not Lucky Pitcher.
When President Clark Griffith
shelled out approximately $500 to
get Leonard in the minor league
draft in the fall of 1887 not even
the Old Fox dreamed that Dutch
would be the pitcher he is today.
That 1874 record stands right with the
best. Only Alley Donald's 12-1, Bob
