called it "one of the most important
antitrust cases since the enactment

Mr.. Biddle also told Congress it

Circuit upholding the constitutional
ity of the so-called death sentence

Offers Other Suggestions.
Other suggestions by the Aattor-
ney General:
The intentional manufacture or
delivery of any defective material
for war purposes should be punish
able as sabotage.
Provision should be made for the
voluntary expatriation of persons
who hold citizenship, but whose true
allegiance is to a foreign nation.
A uniform definition of the re-
quirement that Federal prisoners be
arraigned within reasonable
time" thereby clarifying the So
called "McNabb rule" laid down by
the Supreme Court.
The qualifications of jurors and
exemptions from jury service in the
Federal courts should be fixed by a
uniform law and provision made for
improving the mechanics of jury
selection.
The commissioner system in con-
demnation proceedings should be
eliminated in favor of a single trial
by jury.

Their play smacking OF the bush

the Mats last night at Griffith Sta

beating from Detroit's Tigers. This
time the count was to. 2.
The beating didn't affect the Mats
third place standing m rile race, but
it got them keen razzing from the
1888 ladies night crowd.
Left-handed Stubby Overmire of
the visitors gave up 10 hits but
spread them so well outside of the
seventh that the Mats were all but
helpless. He struck out six, taking
Eddie Butka, Johnny Sullivan and
Pinchbatter Early Wynn in a row
in the fifth.
1t was the first win for Overmire
in five games he has pitched to q
decision this season.
Mickey Haefner, who opened fire
for the Mats, had nothing as he
went down to his second defeat of
the year And in the five innings
that he worked he had nothing to
brag about in the way of support.
Eight hits were made off him and
in his last four innings the Tigers
had great time on the bases. They
stole about everything but Catcher
Mike Guerra's glove, pilfering four
sacks. Once they got away with a
double-theft that meant a run.
Guerra twice threw the ball away
while thefts were in progress and
granted the Tigers one run by
dropping a toss to the plate. Butka
again had his troubles as a first
sacker and contributed one run
with weird play of bunt.
Alex Carrasquel came on to pitch
the last four rounds and in his
first he was nicked for two safeties
and a score.
Pinky Higgins started the Tigers
toward their first score when he
opened the second session with a

There was another Tiger tally In
the third, due TO a double theft.
Joe Hoover was out when Eddie
Mayo singled. York drew a pass.
While Haefner was working on Hig-
gins the runners took off. Mayo
crossed and York went around to
third as Catcher Mike Guerra S
heave went to centerfield. But Rudy
was stranded for Higgins and Out
law were soft touches.
Round 4 was good for another
Detroit marker, Guerra's second
error being responsible. Two were
out when Overmire walked. Doc
Cramer doubled Stubby to third.
Haefner grabbed Hoover's bounce
and threw to get Overmire at the
plate, but Stubby's slide knocked
the ball out of Guerra's hands.
In the fifth the Tigers added two
more runs, this time with hits when
they crossed Washington strategy
Higgins singled with one gone, moved
up on a passed ball and reached
third as Outlaw singled. Outlaw
took second when Ortiz threw fu-
tilely to third. Here Don Ross pur-
posely was passed to let Haefner
get at the rather weak-hitting Bob
Swift. This looked sound when
Swift struck out, but Overmire
singled and Higgins and Outlaw
romped home.
Two Washington errors figured in
a Tiger tally in the sixth. Cramer
singled and after Hoover struck out
Doc pilfered second. Guerra again
threw wildly, letting the runner
carry on to third. Butka did every
thing but bite Mayos bunt and
there was the sixth Detroit score.
Washington warriors finally found
the plate in the seventh. One was
out when Ortiz got a life as Hig-
gins furnbled at third. Butka then
drilled a double to right and Johnny
