Still Hitting
Two Months Ago Today DiMaggio Started
Streak Now at IS Games

The Yankee slugger had no
way Of knowing then that he
was projecting himself on the
most sensational batting streak
ever recorded in major league
history. In those lean days Joe
was delighted to collect any
thing resembling basehit.
Batting champion of the
league in 1889 and 1910, Joe had
just returned from sad trip
below the 800 mark. Until he
got that hit off Smith he had
drawn "horse collars in IL
games between April % and
May IA.
OF course. all baseball fans
know what he's done since Mel
Harder held him hitless May IA.
Joe has done so well that today
he went against this same club
by Smith in an effort to extend
his consecutive game hitting
streak 10 SIS games.
Willie Keeler's old record of
"A lasted more than 40 years.
Your guess is as good as any
ones on how long JOS incredi-
bic string will endure.
Joe was batting .304 when his
streak began. In the subsequent
two months the Yankee power
house has collected 86 hits in
2l5 times at bat, scored So runs,
collected 1873 total bases. knock
cd in 81 runs and blasted Is
home runs, Ia doubles, four
triples and SO 4 kles.
This promiScuous slaughter OF
all kinds of pitching has boost
cd him into leadership of the
league in runs batted in, home
runs and total hits. He is tied
with brother Dominic OF the Red
Sox for runs scored and is fourth
in batting at 1868.
Joe says his performance now
Is mo strain at all.

Twilight Race
is Settled;
Owls Dropped
One More Week
Of PIoy in Loops;
independents Gein


oThe city softball championship
is going to be decided early this
year.
That much became q certainty
last night when the Owls club
became the second team in two
days to be disbanded and drop
ped from the Twilight league
because of failure to play sched-
uled games. The other team, A.
& w. Root Beer. forfeited Z game
Friday night and was ordered
yesterday to disband by City
Recreation Director Bernard
Ballantine.
Last night the Owls forfeit
ed q game to the Koleky Clean
ers, thus sending the race into
three-way tie for first place.
Gilbert's Cut Rate, Koleky, and
Johnnie's Bar now have won 10
and lost three games apiece and
automatically qualify for the
playoffs, despite the fact that
they have little more fighting
to do among themselves. All the
firing should be completed in
the league this week. Then.
while the Recreation league
completes its two-round schedule
next week, the Twilight win
rest before starting the playoffs.
This Is how Recreation Director
Ballantine has lined up the
schedule.
The forfeits, plus comparative
~ few rained-out and tied Games
have made this one Of the short-
est seasons in years. The city
champion should b crowned in
early August where Il ID usually
not determined before late Aug
ust or Labor Day.
Meanwhile the other leagues
are moving along 1t . rapid clip.

College for the deaf. This unusual
chool has a wide curriculum, in
luding an excellent athletic pro-
gram.
Two Problems
These things have been accom-
plished. Yet the 800 representa-
ives of the National Association
of the Deaf noted at their Los
ngeles meeting that two big
problems remain to be solved.
The other prohlem-more diff
cult, perhaps-is to destroy the
misplaced pity which the deaf 50
frequently encounter. Pity, they
point out, is for the weak and
helpless. Wherever permitted, the
deaf have proved that theirs is no
serious handicap-that it does not
prevent them from leading per-
fectly normal, independent, hap
,py lives.
So important to the deaf is this
desire for freedom from pity that
the various state associations OF
the deaf are even seeking to take
care of their own aged and infirm.
Two states already have achieved
this goal. In Minnesota, there is
fund whereby deaf-mutes no long
err self-supporting through illness
or age are placed in congenial
homes and are given a certain
amount of spending money at the
expense Of the association. And in
Ohio the state organization has
established and maintains a plea
SAINT home for the aged deaf.
Since the day when Thomas 'l-
laudet spelled out HAT for lit
tie Alice Cogswell. and began his
life work of freeing the deaf from
the bonds of ignorance, the deaf
have never asked or or accepted
the charity that has been so free
ly offered.
Instead, they have fought long
! fight, patiently and silently to be
permitted to take full advantage
Of the opportunity that Thomas
Gallaudet opened 10 them.
