The home run came when two men were on bases and the triple cleared the bases. Lefty Gomez is charged with his fifth defeat. | Monty Stratton pitched his first game since he injured his arm in the training camp and gave the Chi- cago White Sox a win over Wash- | ington. | Philadelphia bunched hits to de- feat the Browns. | Lefty Grove won his eighth pitch- Jimmy Wilson Just Escaped Dqu[tul Honor CHICAGO, May 25.—You've heard of the baseball boner authored b Fred Snodgrass and Merkle's fail- ure to touch second base which cost the Giants a pennant, but Jimmgy Dykes, Chicago White Sox manager, says Jimmy Wilson should get the booby prize. Wilson, now manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, pulled that one in 1930 when he was catching | for the Cardinals in the World Se- ries against the Athletics. Dykes was an Athletic infielder. “It was the ninth inning, two out, two strikes on batter Jim Moore, I was on first and Jimmy Foxx on second,” Dykes recalled. “Pitcher Bill Hallahan’s third pitch to Moore hit the dirt but he swung. Wilson scooped up the ball and fired to Jake Flowers on third. Why, nobody knows. “For no reason Foxx started for third, and so I lit out for second. Flowers, surprised by Wilscn's throw and Foxx's run, wasn't on third and Foxx made it. Jake had time to get Moore at first but when he looked up Jim Bottomley wasn't on the bag. Bottomley had gone over to congratulate Hallahan on his supposed victory. “There the bases were full but Pepper Martin caught Bishop’s fly and ended the frame—and also |kept Wilson from joining Snod- grass and Merkle. Still nobody ‘knows why Wilson threw to third.” Bandage Ruling Changed in N. Y.

W Griffin, Secretary of Alaska, from Charley Rozum, naval radio opera- tor and long time friend of the! Secretary. Rozum was formerly sta- tioned at Kodiak with the Navy and along about 1933 was in Juneau with the submarine fleet. He is now aboard the gunboat Asheville in the Asiatic fleet and his letter comes from Amoy, China. Describing conditions in the Ori- ent, he says: “I thought I had seen just about the worst conditions under which people live when I saw those natives up there but they live in luxury compared to these poor devils out here. They are all ragged, dirty, sick and hungry, although they have been that way for hundreds of years. It seems incredible that babies can be born amid such squalor and still live. Thousands of families live on small boats called sampans. These boats carry the entire fam- ily plus all earthly possessions which usually consists of a few bowls of rice, a small pot they use for cook- ing and a few chopsticks. “About twenty of these families hover around the ship from before dawn to well after dark, waiting for the refuse we throw overboard They fight over the garbage as fiercely as a pack of huskies over| a frozen fish. If ever there was such a thing as human scavengers these Chinese are it. They take a crust of | bread from the water, squeeze it as dry as they can and eat it then and there.
