Under our form of Government
1t is possible to change the national
administration only at stated in
tervals. Once the people have given
their decision in a national election
they must abide by that decision
for the ensuing four years. Conse-
quently it is imperative that we
have a free press, free public dis
cussions and a strong opposition
party. Public opinion must be con-
stantly awake and ready to make
itself felt in the conduct of the Ma

Runner-up With 1856

NEW YORK, July 13.-It looks
as though nothing short of an Act
OF Congress can get Murray Howell,
the Baltimore better, out Of the
top spot among the International
Leagues hitters.
The big outfielder boosted his
average to sensational $50 this
week to stay on top for the third
straight week and the seventh week
this season.
Last Thursday Murray's average
was .346 but he swatted all the
pitchers he faced this week to fat
ten that mark and strengthen his
lead over Team-mate Gene Corbett
who is in second place with a 1886.
Corbett replaces Tuck Stainback
OF Montreal as the runner-up. Tuck
slipped to third place when his aver
age skidded from .343 to 1875
Stainback has been in the No.
slot most of the season.
Coming along behind the hard
hitting leaders and with Wednes-
days games figured in were Don
Ross, Montreal, .321; Mike Chartak,
Newark, .321; Mickey Vernon. Jer-
sey City, 800; Eric Upton, Toronto,

PHILADELPHIA, July ia blis-
ter kept Cleveland's Bobby Feller
from chalking up his second no-hit,
no-run game Of the season, says
Rolne Hemsley: Feller's battery mate.
The 21-year-old Iowa farm boy
turned in a 1-to-0, one-hit perform
ance against the Athletics last night.
For seven innings the pride Of
Van Meter, Iowa, moved down the
AS without q hit, only one man
reaching first by getting 4 walk.
Then Dick Siebert, first man up for
the AS in the eighth, singled over
second base.
"Siebert's q first-ball hitter, !"
Hemsley declared. IF 1t wasn't
for that blister we'd have curved him
on the first pitch. But the blister
gave Bob trouble when he tried to
throw hook 20 We gave Siebert q
fast one and he hitJt."
The blister developed on the
fourth finger Of Feller's right hand
and resulted, Hemsley explained,
from the force with which the hurler
gripped the ball.
On opening day in Chicago, April
10. Feller twirled a no-hitter against
the White Sox, striking out eight
and giving up five bases on balls.
He had better control last night.
