first year as a manager, built up a
14-game lead only to lose it late
in July.
This year the Solons were tops
on the totem pole all summer, after
a climb from eight position. Then
came gruelling schedule of dou-
ble-headers against tough teams of
the first division. Lack of man
power which injuries helped Gre
ate began to tell.
Peppers Prestige Holds.
Los Angeles took clean sweep
of a series, Portland took the long
end of another and even birthplace
San Francisco beat the Solons.
Now it looks as if the Pepper and
his men will be fighting it out for
second or third.
But Pepper Martins stock has
not fallen materially with Sacra-
mento fans. Most of them believe
he is the one who can get Sacra-
mento pennant for the first time
in the history of the Coast League
If he is given an adequate roster
and the injury jinx moves on.
Pepper is not dispirited. He still
has ambitions to become a big
league manager and add baseball
managerial glories to those he won
as 1881 and 1884 World Series
star for st. Louis.
At 38 Peppers playing days are
about over, he believes, but not his
baseball career. He makes little ef-
fort to hide an abiding confidence
that he yet will make good as a
manager of the Pacific Coast and
from it graduate into the majors

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-After losing
their last two games on the road
the Yankees came back to their own
ball yard today and made them
selves right at home with a three
home-run attack that easily
trounced the Philadelphia Athletics,
8 to 4.
Connie Mack threw his ace, Phil
Marchildon, at the Yanks-and the
Bombers proceeded to trump him in
a hurry. Charley Keller clouted his
17th homer of the year with two
aboard in the first inning, Bill
Dickey whacked his first of the
campaign with one on in the third
and Buddy Hassett belted his fourth
with a mate waiting in the sixth.
With these seven runs coming on
homers it was no trick at all fol-
the Yanks to hand Marchildon his
ninth loss of the year against IL
victories and break his five-game
winning streak.
Meantime the AS made quite free
with Spud Chambers Sunday slants
outhitting the Yanks, 13 to 10, ane
ending Spud's string of Is scoreless
innings pitched by pushing their
first run over in the third. But
with his mates hitting Marchildon's S
boom boom ball all over the place
Chandler just coasted along to chalk
up his sixth victory in a row and
his 18th of the season against only
two setbacks. He has not been
beaten since June 18.
Keller's four-bagger gave him the
Yankee team homer leadership with
II, one more than Joe Di Maggio
BY hitting his fourth of the year
today Hassett now has more homers
than he ever had in one season be-
fore in his big-league career.

But Japan is vulnerable, never
theless, he said, and in the last
analysis depends on her fleet for
protection, as does England. The
question then was one of forcing
the main Japanese fleet into action,
and not one of surface actions be-
tween battle squadrons.
THE increasing effectiveness of
air bombing attack and particularly
OF Its long-range power is the most
promising factor for a reasonably
quick decision in the Pacific war"
he said. Until American bomber
forces can be placed within oper-
atlng distances of the Japanese
main fleet you will probably only
get within striking distance of their
main feet when the Japanese COM
mand either decides to risk it or
makes a major blunder-as avoid
ing action in this vast area is a
simple matter"
Turning to questions of grand
strategy, he said that first essen
tials were continued and increas-
ing assistance to Russia, and the
defense of Great Britain against
Na1 seizure. The latter, he added,
entailed an intensiflcation of the
war against submarines in the At
