John McGraw once said that
pitching was 10 per cent of the
battle-and the little guy was
around baseball's big show long
enough to know-but a team with
pitching alone isn't going to win
pennants in any league.
Billy Southworth, manager of the
Rochester Red Wings, probably
realizes this as we'll as anybody, and
knowing that his club is leading the
International League at present
with only three regular players bat
ting over 300, he isn't likely to be
kicking good sluggers out of the

The wings have been gallopine
along at a terrific pace since the

the pitching staff has been the num-
ber of games won by one and two

CHICAGO, June 1-Cleveland
has onlv two regulars batting over
.3OO-Lou Boudreau and Ray Mack,
the two rockies brought in to
strengthen the team defensively.
Manager Oscar Witt turned the
shortstop post over to Boudreau and
the second base job over to Mack
at the start of the season, and he's
had few worries about either posi-
ton since.
Seasoned observers say their bril-
liant defensive play has made" the
team, but not even the most optl-
mistic figured the keystone kids
would make much of dent in big
league pitching.
The 23-year-old Mack, Bo-
hemian and native of Cleveland, is
hitting 1863, sixth best average in
the league. He got away to a slow
start, but in the past two weeks has
been clouting at sensational .478
pace.
Smooth Double-Play Team.
Boudreau, a much better hitter
than Mack when they cavorted for
Buffalo in the International League,
1t hitting 1923. 18th in the circuit,
and is tied with Mack for leadership
in the production of doubles, each
having 13.
Witt called Boudreau and Mack in
from Buffalo late last season and
saw enough to satisfy him. Several
critics think the Indians capable of
giving the Yankees battle all the
way if these freshmen keep up their
smooth double-play work and hit
within 80 points of their present
pace.

FORT WORTH, Tex, June l.
Howard Pollet, Houston hurler only
four months out of high school. has
pitched himself into a modern Texas
League record with II victories and
no losses.
Back in 1895 Dallas pitcher
named Woodruff won II games and
lost none, but who he was, where he
came from and where he went, not
even w. B. Rugglees, league statisti-
clan, knows.
Aided By Young Hurlers.
Pitching in his 18th game of the
season last night, Pollet had a
close squeeze. his youthful team
mates, Steve Warchol and Ed Wiss-
man, stopping a dangerous rally
after Pollet was removed in the
eighth. Houston won 7 to 4.
Incidentally, this trio is rated as
one of the best kid pitching corps
in baseball. You can look for it in
the st. Louis Cardinal roster next
year.
While Pollet is tied for consecu-
tive victories without a prior loss,
he has nine games to go to surpass
the consecutive mark established in
1917 by James Patrick (Snipe) Con-
ley. Conley lost a game, though,
before he started on his 19-game
winning streak.
Pollet is playing his second season
in professional baseball. A left
handler, he started with New Iberia
in the Evangeline League. He
pitched AZ % consecutive scoreless
innings and won IA and lost games
over the season after a stagefright
start.
Twice this season he has pitched
two-hit games and leads the league
in strikeouts and averages about
two bases on balls per game.

gagged in arbitrary and Illegal
methods in connection with exam

tered" the action of the SEC in its

He told the stockholders that
unless the bank could make its
protests effective, it might submit
to them a proposal to convert the
institution from a national to a

"the relations of the Bank of Amer

currency had been thoroughly
amicable. But in September of
that year, MI. Morgenthau J.. took
over the staff of the comptroller's
office and since that time your
bank has been harried unjustifi-
ably"
He related that Morgenthau had
threatened to cite the banks direc-
tors because it continued to declare
dividends at the rate of $240 a
year.
1--WE had no advance notice of
this astonishing action" Giannini
continued. 81 at once asked for an
early hearing. Last September the
comptroller sent personal letters to
the directors of the bank at their
business addresses, threatening to
invoke a further sanction.
"On Sept. 8, officials OF the bank
finally attained hearing and went
to Washington where they conferred
until Dec. Is with the comptroller,
the undersecretary of the treasury
and other officials. On that date
a written agreement was reached
and though I thought the terms
were unduly harsh, they were ac-
cepted by the bank. Since then
We have consistently adhered In
the agreement, although the comp
troller has acted as If such an

He said bank officials had receiv-

actions through the securities and

He said he would take that action
because of last years congressional
dispute over Guam. During the
regular 1899 session congress struck
Guam from list of bases for which
the navy sought authorization.
In view of the fact that the naval
base authorization was considered
by his committee last year, Vinson
said he did not believe the house
appropriations committee should
vote any funds for Guam until the
subject had again been considered
by the naval affairs committee.
