Twice in 7 Days
Hits for Route
With Trio On
Yonks Take Pressure
OFF Leading Bosox
By Betting Tribe
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Maybe it's nostalgia creeping up,
but a fellow can't escape feeling
every once in awhile that the old
heroes are the best heroes.
There's Jimmy Foxx of the Boston
Red Sox. In the Is years he has
been swashbuckling around the
American League, a lot of fine new
faces have appeared and lot of
them have passed right on out.
But old Double x" still is setting
the opposing pitchers crazy with his
terrific slugging. He hit a home run
with the bases loaded yesterday for
the second straight day to help
Boston beat the Detroit Tigers, 11-8,
and take a stronger grip on first
place in the junior circuit.
He has hit II homers and batted
in 38 runs already this spring to set
a spectacular pace for the American
League. For a while he even was
on top in percentage battling, runs
scored and other departments in
cluding stolen bases.
Homer Sparks Team.
For fellow who is 80 years old,
that's going mighty fast early in
the season and one Of the principal
reasons the Red Sox are out in front.
Foxx's blow yesterday came in the
third inning when Boston was two
runs behind. It was what the Sox
peeded to set them sparkling and
they punched out three other
homers to Detroit's two to win.
In the meantime the World Cham
pion New York Yankees took some
Of the pressure off Boston by betting
the Cleveland Indians. 1912, with a
12-hit attack, led by George Selkirk
and Charley Keller. Manager Joe
Mccarthy reinstated his World
Series lineup in spite of the fact
the Tribe started lefthander, AL
Milnar, the leagues leading pitcher,
and the move proved propitious The
performance was all the more i'm
pressive because Of the Shit pitch
ing of young Marius Russo.
The victory was not sufficient to
pull the Yanks out Of the cellar,
however, because the Chicago White
Sox edged out Washington, 90.
Big Homer Goes to Waste.
These were the only completed
games In the American League. The
Philadelphia Athletics started to
work out on the st. Louis Browns,
with Frank Hayes hitting q home
run with the bases loaded, but rain
washed out the game in the middle
Of the fifth.
In the only contest the weather
allowed In the National League the
Brooklyn Dodgers squeezed past the
Chicago Cubs, 4-3, to end a 3-game
losing streak.
The Cubs scored three runs in
the second and third innings on
homers by Bill Nicholson and Jimmy
Gleeson, and Claude Passeau shut
out the Dodgers on two hits for five
innings. Brooklyn scored twice in
the sixth. Then Passeau loaded the
bases In the ninth and Dolph
Camilli raped out single. All the
boys had to do then was touch all
the bases.

"In view of the present unset

fact that the undersigned is anil

believe it fair to the N. B. A. that I
be considered for further national

is not secret that he was anxious
to step out long ago when the Or

on his head. Recent developments
IN the Archibald case led to his de-

Heine Gives His Reasons.
His statement, under the sub

follows:
"The current year has been a diff
flcult one, the N. B. A. being sub
tected to biased and uncalled-for
newspaper attacks. Few, If any, OF
these articles have been fair enough
to even present the N. B. AS side

ing an otherwise competent and
formidable baseball team crumble

How horrible the flatteringly

f1ected in bitter doses in the Chi

of nearly IA game, when even
passable pitching would have jock

For some time Harris has been en-
visioning improvement in the situ-
alton. A hope predicated, no
doubt, on the belief his hired hands
couldn't be ineffective forever. Now
he is beginning to believe his hurl-
ers couldn't locate a plate unless

The frantic need for the destroyers

and other farm buildings.
The Durrell tract has been divided
into seven farm units, with a commu-
nifty pasture of 249.95 acres on dry
land. Each farmer will have his indi-
to 1856 acres. The original set of Dur
rell buildings will house one family,
six of the Fort Peck houses will be

Farmers who are members of the
cooperative association and who will

Total irrigable land before leveling

which is planted to alfalfa.
Improvement of the land will require
leveling of $50 acres, construction of
5.3 miles of irrigation ditch, 2.S miles
of drains, 2 miles of road and bridges
exclusive of large number of small
irrigation structures.

On the Cuff

transfer of 100000 in all was officially
predicted.
AS the demand for more and more
workers in the armament industry be-
came acute, the labor shortage in the
other fields became more pressing I'M
til young people were pressed into
service as soon as they could be OF
any use and old people were denied
pensions in order to keep them on the
job.
In a democratic country with vaster
resources than those of Germany the
process might not be as swift. But
the trend is the same.
AS the ranks of the army are swelled,
as the armament Industries expand
and require additional workers, and
as a shortage of labor develops in
certain. fields, the lines are pulled
tighter.
/ The unemployed do not necessarily
reduce the labor shortage if they are
taken into the army or if their labor
is used on national defense public
works.
In order to keep wages from rising
as a result of the demand for workers,
factory owners may feel the necessity
of hamstringing unions and legislation
which protects unions and wage stand
ards.
It is in wartime particularly that
unions become the mainstay of democ-
racy for it is the union which furnishes
the vast majority of the people with
their only means of expression.
Yet it is in wartime that unions are
subject to the severest attack from
those employers who seek to divert
popular excitement to their own uses.
Here there are indications that the
drive on unions is shaping up. Bosses
not accustomed to dealing with their
workers on the basis of equality think
they see a way out through the de-
Tense program.
Maybe they'll be set back on their
heels this November. Maybe, when
they see the story of Senator Burke
of Nebraska, Senator King of Utah
and Senator Holt of West Virginia re-
peated a score or more times, they'll
stop to think.
But they learn slowly.
