Pitchers Rule
For One Day
In Baseball
Dodgers Gain on Reds,
Bosox Lose Ground
AS Boxmen Click
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated prose cnorfe NIyritar

Pitching" baseball writer's are in
the habit of quoting the immortal
John McGraw, sis rs per cent of the
ball game" Days like yesterday in
the major leagues make the state
ment easy to believe.
There were no individually spec
tacular mound operations, but 10
teams were in action and averaged
only eight hits apiece. All but two
of the starting pitchers finished.
The upshot of all this fine flinging
roughly was that the Brooklyn
Dodgers moved within l point of
the Cincinnati Reds in the National
League. .344 to .343, and the Boston
Red Sox lost ground in the Amer
lean through their extra Inning loss
to Washington.
Wyatt Outpitches Erickson.
Whitlow Wyatt pitched the
Dodgers to a 81 decision over Dick
Erickson and the Boston Bees.
Wyatt gave five hits and struck out
six, finishing the 8-inning rain
shortened struggle with four hitless
frames. Erickson permitted Brook
Ign only seven safeties, but four of
these were punched in the fifth
when the Dodgers got all their runs
Then Jake Mooty, an expert at
hurting under the electric lights,
came along with a six-hitter for the
Chicago Cubs last night to edge
out the Cincinnati Reds, 80. Chi
cago nicked Big Paul Derringer for
II blows and scored all its runs in
the first two innings. Mooty kept
the Reds scoreless until the seventh
and coasted home.
The Reds announced during the
day that Johnny Wander Nicer, the
double no-hit hero of 1888, had been
optioned to indianapolis in the
American Association at his own
request.
The southpaw star has been viz
tually worthless to the Reds znce
developing arm trouble year ago
last spring.
Martins Homer Decides.
In another night game Fiddler
Bill MCGEE of the st. Louis Card
inals whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates
80 with SEVENTH hurting. The
score didn't show it, but this game
also was pitching party with Lefty
Ken Heintzelman matching MCGEE
until the ninth, when Wild Horse
Pepper Martin hit a home run with
the bases loaded.
There were only three home runs
in the five-game program and two
were in this contest, Elbie Fletcher
hitting one for Pittsburgh.
The New York Yankees amassed
a two-game winning streak, their
longest since June Is. by beating
the Philadelphia Athletics Al. The
AS gave the game away with four
errors to spoil six-hit pitching job
by Bucky Ross. One of the hits he
gave up was home run by Charley
Keller in the first inning, but after
that he held the champions score
less until the seventh when FUN
BILE with two out let in the deciding
run. Ross himself had tied up the
score in the fifth by driving a run
home with a single.

faltering Mats out of their chronic
losing manner.
1t was Colbert who was outstand-
ing again yesterday as the Mats
won 4-3, 10-inning battle from
Boston in the opener of four-g game
series, enabling Dutch Leonard to
annex his ninth victory of the sea-
son. Colbert drove in three of WASH
ington's runs.
Charleys single to right, scoring
Cecil Travis, staked the Mats to a
10 lead in the second inning and
his double to center, scoring Buddy
Myer, increased the margin to 20
in the fourth. In the tenth, after
the Red Sox had pushed over a run
to lock the score at 3-3 in the NINTH
Colbert doubled high off the left
field fence to score Travis, who had
singled and moved to second on
Myers sacrifice, with the winning
run.
Leonard wasn't allowing many
liberties with his knuckle ball spe-
cialty, although the Red Sox made
six of their seven hits travel for
extra bases. Doc Cramer's triple
and Jimmy Foxxs single whitfield
the score to 81 in the fourth and
doubles by Jim Tabor and Joe
Cronin manufactured another run in
the seventh after the Mats had
boosted their lead to 81 in their
half of the inning.
In the ninth lanky Ted Williams
walked, advanced to second on
Tabor's sacrifice, to third on a wild
pitch and scored on Cronin's double
to left. Colbert, however, rescued
the Mats in the extra inning and
Leonard protected the lead.
George Case, who protested
called third strike by Umpire Mori-
arty in the seventh inning, was or
dered from the game when he re-
turned to the bench and tossed bats
from the dugout. The feeling was
that Case would be spared a sus-
pension but probably would be fined
$25 for his display.

Tony Doesn't Hit Like
Joe, Says Godoy, Who
Has Met En- Both
GoIento Fails to Impress
Two-Time Conqueror in
Training for Boer
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. June 2o.-Arturo
Godoy, still looking as if he had
been hit by a cleaver, sat at the
ringside out at Madame Bey's train
ing emporium yesterday and watched
Tony Galento clown around in prep
aration for his fight with Max Baer
Tuesday in Jersey City.
1t had been eight days since the
Chilean sampled Joe Louis fists, but
his left cheek bone still was pulled
and hidden by sticking plaster, and
there was long, brown scar where
a dozen stitches had been taken in
his eyebrow. Having fought and
licked Galento twice, Arturo could
not be expected to go into raptures
about the Orange round man-and
he didn't
Il don't think he's so strong as
when he fought me-" he volunteered
in his neW-found English. They
can't be so strong again after having
pneumonia. My brother in Chile
had it once and he never was so
good again.
mo, Tony don't hit like Louis. He
hit me left hook in our first fight
that hurt, but he hits heavy punches,
not sharp like Louis
Whereupon Arturo proceeded to
explode another theory about Tony,
To wit, that it is useless to work on
the Galento mid-section
Il hit him once good in the
stomach in our first fight, and he
didn't like it." Godoy recalled.
Arturo said he couldn't make
guess on the winner between Galento
and Baer, because he never had seen
Max in action.
Galento jumped on the scales just
before yesterdays workout and
when the springs finally settled
down again Tony grunted: Two

NEW YORK, June 29.-The battle
for hitting honors in the American
League has developed into as red
hot race as the championship
struggle itself.
Today Lou Finney of the Boston
Red Sox and Rip Radcliff of the
st. Louis Browns were deadlocked
for the lead at 1863, and Barney
McCosky of Detroit was only II
points behind. The skirmishing was
nearly as close all down the line and
there was even a tie for 10th place
at the high level of 1923.
The National League, however,
settled into a one-man show by
Catcher Hank banning of the New
York Giants. He finished strong
with seven hits in his last two games
to increase his percentage to .375
and take 3l-point lead over the
No. 2 batter, Dixie Walker of the
Brooklyn Dodgers.

This so-called Golden Age of Greek Democracy showed us the magnificent achievements that could be accomplished by 8 "gov- ernment of the people" when 1t enjoyed the leadership of men of exceptional ability, integrity and an unselfish desire to work only for the glory of the community at large.
 But 1t also gave us clear picture of what must happen the moment these men disap- peared from the scene and their places are atken by those cor rupt and dishonest individuals who use thei r0ratOrical abilities to hypnOtize the masses up to the point where they will lose all ability to judge for them selves and will acclaim as their heroes and leaders the very men who will soon afterwards be. tray them and carry them to de- structiOn.
 There once was an Englishman by the name of Thomas Gresh- am. He lived during the first half of the sixteenth century and he was Queen EliZabeth's financial adviser.
 As that august lady was always hard up for money as all medic val SovereignS were bound to be in day when most people went through life without ever seeing as much as $1O in actual cash), {, he was an economic expert of no mean ability.
 Since Antwerp was then the great banking center of the world, he lived for many years in that city and it was there that he dis covered that ingenious economic law which Is still known as Gresham's Law.
 According to this law, bad money will invariably tend to drive out good money" By bad money, the Queens merchant" not only meant actual counter felt money but also inflated. money and every other form of currency that was not somehow or other backed up by absolute ly sound asSets.... .... ... .. ...
 Sir Thomas therefore never ceased in his attempts to convince his royal mistress that only ever- lasting activity on her part to pro- tect the good money" of her kingdom would prevent the ''bad money" from driving the good money" completely out of circu- lation.
 We have since then learned that Gresham's Law is not merely restricted to money but holds good for all other commodities, both of a material and spiritual nature.
