Cubs Massacre Cunninghams Is
to @ in City League Contest

Staging a ten run rally in the
very first inning, the Cubs massa.
cred Cunningham's in a City Lea
que contest at Recreation Park
Wednesday evening, as they hung
up a total of eighteen runs and
whitewashed the Druggists IS to
0. With darkness rapidly coming
on Cunningham took their turn
at bat in the first half Of the
sixth inning and although they
scored a run 1t didn't enter into
the final score since the game
was called and the Cubs didn't get
a turn at bat so the score re-
verted back to the end of the
fifth inning.
Manager Charlie Townsley of
Cunningham's started on the
mound for his team and although
he pitched only one and two.
thirds innings, the. amazing total
OF thirteen runs crossed the plate
before Dave Squiers could relieve
him. Charles main trouble was
his wildness, as six batters receiv-
ed free passes to first base dur
ing his stay on the mound and
one other was hit by pitched
ball. He was also charged with
two wild pitches, one of which
directly resulted in a run.
When the Cubs weren't being
walked, however, base hits ratified
off their bats like hail stones off
tin roof as they seemed to be
meeting every pitch squarely. Be-
sides the ten runs they scored in
the opening inning, the Cubs
scored four in the second, were
blanked in the third, tailed one
in the fourth, and found the
range with three more in the
fifth to give them, their total OF
eighteen.
Fred Knox was the starting
pitcher for the Cubs ana after
pitching three innings, allowing
only one hit and no runs, and
with the score l4-O in his favor,
he retired in favor of Myers who
pitched the final two innings.
J. W. Anderson Was-the hitting
star of the game getting a home
run and two singles in five trips
to the plate while Myers had a
perfect day with two for two

criticism by Sen. Hiram w Johnson,

retention of men in service may
be an "infripetmet' of private
rights but said it is necessary to
national security.
"The best possible men to have
in the navy are those now serving"
he said. where the interest of the
individual and the government come
into conflict, the governments in

Johnson charged that such pro-

Ship Shortage TO
Mean Delay in
Help to Russia

WASHINGTON, June 26 CUP)-
American aid to the Soviet Union
under the lend-lease act will be
handicapped by an acute shortage
OF Russian shipping tonnage and
deficiencies of the Soviet's railway
system, informed quarters said to-
day.
RuSSia'S merchant marine at the
outbreak of the war totaled only
678 ships. Fewer than 500 of these
ships were considered adequate for
trans-oceanic service.
Shipping men estimated it would
require the best Russian ships be-
tween Ia to Is days to cross the
Pacific between the American sup
ply ports and the Russian port OF
Vladivostok.
Two or three weeks would be
needed to ship the materials from
Vladivostok to Moscow by way of
the Trans-Siberian railroad. Admin
istration spokesmen already have
indicated it may be weeks or even
months before the first shipment
is ready to be sent.
