what will he use for money? His

Quoting accounts payable.
No, Mr.. Bricker is trying to COW
er up his many cruel wrongs to the
poor people of Ohio by fraudulent
pretense. This present frantic ef-
fort on his part is merely additional
eloquent proof of his sanctimonious
hypocrisy.
Personally, I welcome the fact
that Mr.. Bricker is afraid to be on
the ticket with the Republican can
didate for president, and wants to
stick out his chin, all by itself, on a
separate ballot. This will give a
glorious opportunity to get him
away from the big tent, and tear off
his mask of hypocrisy and deceit,
and to show up before the people of
Ohio this most selfish and heartless
pretender. We can now have a real
ly interesting campaign.
My prediction still stands that
Governor Bricker will run 100000

cause of the cruel manner in which
he has treated the common people
of Ohio, and because of his count
less broken promises I'm glad Mr..
Bricker was frightened into this

be a great thing for us.

Yuma granted $500 licenses to

many were divorces is not stated.

Travis Is Given AN-Stor Spot,
Replacing III RoIfe of Yonks;
Mats Regain CdrrdsqueI

Washington's representation In the
annual All-Star game at st. Louis
on Tuesday was increased to two
yesterday as Joe Cronin, manager of
the American League team, selected
Third Baseman Cecil Travis to re-
place New York's Red Rolfe, who
requested to be excused due to
illness.
Travis, currently hitting more than
$40, is believed to have an excellent
chance of starting in the engage
ment. Ken Keltner, Cleveland third
baseman, is his rival for the role.
Pitcher Dutch Leonard, the Mats
original representative, and Travis
had planned to fly to ST. Louis.
Leonard had made a reservation.
When President Clark Griffith learn
ed Travis was inquiring into plane
schedules, he snorted and ordered
both players to travel by train.
Immediately after today's double
header with the Red Sox at Griffith
Stadium, Travis and Leonard will
head for st. Louis, together with
the Boston contingent of Manager
Joe Cronin, Jimmy Foxx, Lou Fin
ney, Doc Cramer, Ted Williams,

Leonard's appearance in the ALL
Star game appears unlikely, mas
much as he is slated to pitch against
the Red sox today.
Washington's squad is ticketed to
be increased by one today, with
Pitcher Alexandra Carrasquel being
returned to the fold after failing to
impress with Jersey City of the In
ternational League. Carrasquel may
linger only briefly before his ex-
pected shipment elsewhere, possibly
to the Mats Piedmont League farm
at Charlotte, N. c.
After today's twin bill the Mats
will remain idle until Thursday,
when Detroit invades for a three
game series. Cleveland, Chicago and
ST Louis will follow the Tigers into
Griffith Stadium.
Travis, incidentally, now has hit
safely in his last 12~games and over
that stretch has batted .472. B.H.

Dodgers Strike Late,
Top Bees, 20, for
Seventh in Row
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July 6.-Tot Pressnell
stretched the amazing Brooklyn
Dodgers winning streak to- seven
games today with superb shit
performance that tanned the Bos-
ton Bees, 20.
BY holding the Bees without a
run, Pressneu extended the Bos-
tonians' string of scoreless innings
to 20. The losers had been previ-
ously shut out in the last II innings
of yesterdays 20-inning marathon,
which the Dodgers won, 60.
Pressneu gained his decision over
Dick Erickson in a tprrid pitching
battle. Erickson didn't allow run
until the eighth, when the Brooks
scored both their tallies.
The run-making happened like
this: Gus Mancuso walked and
Pressnell sacrificed him to second.
Peewee Reese singled to left, scor-
ing Mancuso with the games
first run.
Cookie Lavagetto singled to right,
lending Reese to third and Dixie
Walker pumped another single to
right, scoring Reese, but Lavagetto
was out trying for third. Ducky
Medwick then ended the inning by
forcing Walker at second.
The Dodgers managed eight hits
off Erickson, who pitched a fine
game himself, but were able to bunch
their hits only in the eighth inning
to any purpose.
The paid attendance was 5,112.

CLEVELAND, July 6.-Held hit
less for four frames by bespectacled
Bill Dietrich, the Cleveland Indians
drove him from the mound in the
fifth with six-run attack today and
coasted to 7-to-3 victory over the
White Sox to keep their grip on
first place.
Mel Harder limited the Sox to
six hits in eight innings, but gave
up four straight in the ninth and
was succeeded by Johnny Allen.
Together the clubs turned in eight
double plays within one OF the
major league record in a single
game. Each side contributed four,
Ray Mack starting three for the
Indians and making one unassisted.
Dykes Also Routed.
After Cleveland's rousing fifth
stanza, articulate Jimmy Dykes, Sox
pilot, was chased from the field by
Base Umpire Lou Kolls for heckling.
Hal Trosky doubled to start the
Tribes scoring spree. Beau Bell
grounded out, but Trosky romped
In on a single by Ben Chapman,
who then stole second. In order,
Dietrich walked Ken Keltner,
Frankie Pytlak and Harder, forcing
Chapman home.
Lou Boudreau doubled, scoring
keltner and Pytlak and Clint Brown
took Dietrich's place on the hill.
Roy Weatherly brought in Harder
and Boudreau with a single. The
inning ended when Mack hit into
q double play. Keltner doubled
Chapman home in the sixth for
Cleveland's seventh marker.
Chisox Rally Late.
The Sox rallied in the ninth for
three runs on five hits, Mike Kree-
v1ch singing and scoring on Joe
kuhels double. Kuhel came In on
julius Solters' single and Taft
Wright's one-base blow sent Harder
to the showers. Luke Appling forced
