Tribe Takes ttth Scalp In Row; We re On Our Way Says Lopez
By the Associated Press

Cleveland's onruShing Indians continue to whiz by all opposition as the Lopez Limited" speeds steadily toward it's destination - Pennantville.
 Manager Al Lopez Tribe won again last night, defeating Detroit, 2-1. The win increases Cleveland's first place margin over the runnerup New York Yankees in the American League to two and a half games as Philadelphia shellacked the Bronxites for the third straight time, 16-3.
 It stretched the Tribes winning streak to II straight, only two short of the clubs alI-time re- cord of 13 accomplished in 1942.
 It marked the 18th triumph for Bob Teller, who celebrated night" in his honor by limiting the Tigers to seven hits.
 It was the eighth consecutive complete job by a Cleveland hurler and it was the 18th straight game the Indians held their opposition to four or less runs. It also was Cleveland's 14th win in Is meetings with Detroit.
 We're on our way" said Lopez.
 q don't see how anyone can stop us now
 Philadelphia raked four New York chuckers for Is hits = it's season high = and scored in all but the first and eighth innings.
 In the last three games, the Ath- letics have bombarded II Yankee pitchers for 32 runs and 46 hits.
 A three-run homer by Gil Hodges in the eighth inning gave the Brooklyn Dodgers a 7-6 victory over Boston's Braves and left their 12l4 game first place margin intact. The runner-up New York Giants won their third straight from Phila- delphia's Phils, 5-2.
 Cincinnati swept doubleheader from Pittsburgh, 20 and Fl, while Chicago's Cubs upset the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3.
 Boston, Washington, St. Louis and Chicago in the American league were not scheduled.

By the Associated Press

Seattles Coast League leading Rainiers will try to put a little extra air in their tires, starting to- night, before taking off on their most important road trip of the season.
 The Rainiers host Sacramento in the opener of a four-game series, hoping to pad their five-game lead. Rogers Hornsbys hungry horde then will descend on Los Angeles and Hollywood for a 10-game stand that should just about decide the 1851 pennant ace.
 As matter of record, the Studs may have more trouble with Sac ramento than with the third place Angels or runncrup Stars. The Sacs have won nine of the 19 games played with Seattle this year, the closest any club in the league has come to breaking even with the pacesetters. The Studs have taken II out of 18 from Hollywood, 10 of IA against Los Angeles. They'll meet the Angels in a five-game series starting Sat urday then follow next week with five at Hollywood

Z. w. Scripps Does
His Own Portrait

DAMNED OLD CRANK
A Self-portrait of E. w. Scripps
Edited by Charles R. McCabe
Harper G. Bros; $780,
This is a rather dull self-por-
trait Of an extremely sharp char
acter. E. w. Scripps.. founder OF
a great newspaper chain, was a
man of great gusto, vitality and
color. But the rheumatic style
frequently defeats the crusty con-
tent of his memoirs.
Actually, he wrote no autobiog-
raphy as such. The present vol
ume was pieced together by his
granddaughter's husband from
unpublished autobiographical frag-
ments, letters and streams OF
disquisition.
Power of the Press.
Unfortunately, Scripps deals
here largely with the business and
administrative side of newspaper
work and, apart from his broad
philosophy, gives little hint of the
journalistic methods that made
his newspapers great.
In his personal life Mr.. Scripps
was spectacularly intemperate. He
drank "a gallon" of whisky a day
for years, and smoked 40 cigars a
day. Economically, he was a
veritable young Boswell. Reform
came hard to him, but he under
took it in Difference to his tender
young wife.

flower prints surpass those by
Pierre Joseph Redoute. whose IA
nous book Lies Roses" published
early In the 10th century, is on
view along with several original
paintings on vellum and the stip-
Iple engravings from them.
An interesting sidelight to the
show is the number of famous
Iowners who had some of these
prints before Mrs. Hunt acquired
them. Several by Nicolas Robert
were owned by Napoleon and
Marie Louise. Pancrace Bessa, by
whom there is group of 6 deli
cate paintings on vellum, worked
for Charles x of France. These
paintings once belonged to the
Duchess of Berry, sister, -in-law OF
Teresa Christina, second empress
of Brazil, and until recently they
were in the collection of Paulo de
Campos Porto, former director OF
the Rio de Janeiro botanical
garden.
Later items in the exhibition
are Autographs, which were very
beautiful for some decades after
the medium was invented. But
lit actually sounded the death
knell of flower prints as works
of art, for it was soon CONNER
cialized in mass production. anc
now we have the ultimate result

The Seoscopes
Are Beautiful
RAIN ON THE WIND

RAIN ON THE WIND
BY Walter Macken. (Macmil-
Ian; $3J ..
Rain on the Wind" consists Of
a little band of original and ap-
lpealing characters described
against a series of seascapes. It
is not really much of a novel,
though, despite its charms. Mr..
Macken has a sympathetic hero
in Mico, great-hearted fisher
man with terrible birthmark on
his face. Like his father and
grandfather before him, Mico
takes to the sea, leaving the books
to his brother Tom and his friends
in the Galway fishing village. But
although he has chosen the sim
pie life. he finds that life is not
SO simple after all, particularly
when he meets Maeve, the gentle
Connemara girl who marries his
friend Coimin. Mr.. Macken is in
obvious sympathy with his people
and writes about them wisely and
lafectingly. But every time he
wants to give the plot a push he
introduces a supernatural ele-
ment. Due to his lavish attention
to all the characters, the story
moves very slowly and without
much drive. The sea scenes are
beautiful.

on Russia, for instance, was writ
ten during the reign of the last
Car and revised in the summer
of 1917, after the Kerensky revo-
Ilution. Mr.. Ellis saw a Russia lib
Grated from tyranny and taking
over it's own affairs, a thrilling
moment in history. He could not
foresee people enSlaved by thei1
own revolution and represented by
a government embarked on world
conquest by one means or an
other.
Perhaps most of us have be-
come SO fact-minded, so concerned
with the passing parade Of
events, that it is hard for US
to see a people apart from what's
happening to it at the moment
to accept the profounder, longer
range judgments of an indie
pendent thinker like Havelock
Ellis. Everywhere we see," he
comments, that what is in the
blood will come out in the spirit
and that the subtlest variations
of a mans outlook on the worlo
were determined long centuries
before he was born"
The essays are written with a
clarity and simplicity of style
an avoidance of cloudy abstrac-
tions and muddy cropping, that
make them a delight to read. In
his insistence on letting his read
ers understand what he was writ
ing, Mr.. Ellis was. indeed. almost
a unique figure in philosophy and
psychology.
