BIonking Giants
BY JUDSON BAILEY,

Like decrepit fire horses answer
ing the summons of familiar bell,
a quartet of the American Leagues
tottering pitchers came charging
onto the firing line yesterday with
some of the seasons best hurting,
including an abbreviated no-hitter.
Silent John Whitehead, who
hadn't won a game this season and
was so ineffective the st. Louis
Browns sent him to the minors for
spell, blanked the Detroit Tigers,
40, without a hit in the second
game Of double-header and
knocked the Bengals out of first
place.
Whitehead pitched only six In
nings, because rain halted the game,
and his performance won't get his
name on the no-hit hall of fame
list that Cleveland's Bob Feller and
Brooklyn's Tex Carleton made early
this season.
Browns Giant Killers.
But it was a noteworthy bit Of
workmanship for Whitley. who could
win but one game all last year, and
it kept up the Browns favorite side
line of knocking off the pacemakers.
Previously this year they had
bounced the Boston Red Sox and
the Cleveland Indians out of first
place.
Schoolboy Rowe, who also served
term in the minors with the grim
prospect that he might not come
back, pitched siX-hit ball to give De-
trolt go verdict in the first game.
1t was the 10th victory against two
defeats for Rowe. who had the help
OF home runs by Rudy York and
Dick Bartell.
Melvin lie Roy Harder. who has
been so near the skids this year the
fans in Cleveland had taken to
booing him, pitched the Indians to
10-1 triumph over the Chicago
White Sox and back into the league
lead by a scant percentage margin.
Harder came within one home run
by Mike Kreevich of getting a
shutout and gave only five hits over
the route.
Another admirable comeback was
the seven-hit, 4-to-1 victory Fritz
Ostermueller earned for the Red
Sox over the New York Yankees.
The little lefthander, who will be
33 years old next month, hadn't
pitched complete game until a
couple of weeks ago. but this was
his third in four starts and a worthy
one.
He didn't give more than one hit
in any inning and the only time
he was scored upon was the eighth,
when he walked two men ahead of
a single by Joe Di Maggie.
Foxx, Heinrich Both Help.
Jimmie Foxx hit his 25th homer
with one on to help out and Yankee
Outflelder Tommy Heinrich forgot
how many were out in the fourth
and Intentionally dropped a fly try
ing for double play with two
already down.
Whitlow Wyatt, an oldtimer resur-
rected from the minors last year,
shutout the New York Giants, 60,
last night with a six-hitter for the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
This was the only action In the
National League yesterday and the
first time the two teams ever had
met at night. Wyatt never gave
the Giants chance and had lots
of help from his mates, especially
Dixie Walker, who made four hits.

Shared ADVANTAGE, Shared Burden

The Forthcoming Pan American meeting at Havana is
going to provide very practical tests of mutually
If the American nations to cooperate for their COM
advantage is obvious that they ought to share
sponsibities.
For instance: DIR. Oswaldo Aranha, Brazils foreign
minister has indicated that he does not believe European
in the Americas ought to change hands by
unlatera action Translatng that from diplomatic into
English it that the United States alone ought not
to grab such island Martinique keep from falling
into German Italian hands, Any such grab ought to be
made in orderly way by all the American nations acting
together and becoming joint trustees for the territories
That is right enough and believe the United States
would along with it. But Dr. Aranha has decided not to
himself to the Havana conference but to send repre-
sentative This suggests that Brazil is handling gently the
hot potato of just how far she will in taking part in
any such mutual action
The United States has clearly indicated that it would
prefer handle any such problems jointly For 10
has labored to make the Monroe Doctrine not merely
policy of the United States government but joint policy
of all the American republics.
Let no one make any mistake about it. If there is
threat of seizure Caribbean islands other South Ame
territories whose occupation by European would
endanger the Panama Canal, the United States will act
alone if necessary.
1t would be helpful if, before the Havana meeting
both presidential candidates could make clear that in inter-
American matters there is party. u S. diplomacy is
often handicapped by the feeling among other American
countries that change of administration may mean
change of policy.
But in the present emergency both parties are bound
by the logic of events to closely inter-Amerlcan
policies To have both candidates say perhaps even in
joint statement, forthrighy and definitely would proba
bly, help smooth the path of the American emissares to

But if they have not if they shy shaly along and

yincing Tokyo that Japanese

should try generally to nor
