For the next four months, the other seven American league clubs can hope for nothing better than second or third place. The Yankees are swinging along at better than .100 faster clip than they did last season which was a rout in itself. A comparison of standing follows : W. L. Pet.

Just what the other seven clubs are up against when they go against the Yankees may be seen by checking up on what the Yankees did to Connie Mack's pet pitching staff in the six games.

Boston Baseball Fans Welcome Manager Shift M * ***** JOUt ; ; \<< / ® . \;l ♦ % BILL CARRIGAN ROGERS HORNSBY International Newsreel Photo. When Rogers Hornsby was traded by the Giants last Winter to the Boston Braves for Catcher Frank Hogan and Outfielder Jimmy Welsh, baseball wiseacres asked themselves the question How long will Jack Slattery manage the Braves with Hornsby captaining the team?" So the promotion of Hornsby to the management of the Bravos wasn't entirely unexpected. It simply hart to come. There was no friction between Slattery and Hornsby, according to Boston writers and Judge Emi) E. Fuchs, president of the club. But the Braves had not shown as well as the Red Sox under Carrigan'a mentorship; ergo Beantown's interest in the National League team dwindled to an alarming degree. Bill Carrigan's success in building up prestige for the Red Sox undoubtedly hastened the Hornsby-Slattery deal. The largest crowds seen in Fenway Park in more than ten years witnessed the Red Sox triumph over Weste»n teams. Indeed, many depesters believe Carrigan will either finish well up in tlie first division or cop the pennant. Just how tlie Braves play ball under Hornsby's peppery leadership remains to be seen. The ex-Cardinal, ex-Giant leader takes hold of the same men who couldn't win more than one-third of their games. Will be inspire in them his own fighting spirit? Or will the Braves' owners seek to bolster up Boston’s chances by parting with thick slices of their bankroll? These are questions which fans are eagerly asking themselves*following the deal; and upon the conclusions they reach will depend, in largo degree, which of the two leaders—Carrigan or Rajah—gets (he break in the matter of attendance. For there’s no use beclouding the issue—Beantown is that way about its ball clubs.

Winner Os Cross-Country Race Calls On President Washington, May 29. (U.R) —Andrew Payne, 2l)-year-old Oklahoman who defeated 199 other entries in C. C.

HUGE SUM CUT FROM REVENUE FOR NEXT YEAR (CONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) licenses. Individual Incomes Not Affected It does not affect tax rates on individual incomes, adjust surtax rates or provide for publicity on incomes. The b’.li signed by tile president was a compromise between the original house measure, carrying a $289,000,000 reduction, and tlie senate bill cutting taxes approximately $205,000,000. The treasury had asked for a cut of only $201,000,000. This figure being based on March 15 tax returns and the resulting estimated surplus. Democrats sought a $325,000,000 cut, and the U. S. chamber of commerce held a $400,000,000 reduction was justified. Secretary of Treasury Mellon engaged in a public dispute with chamber officials because of this latter estimate. The bill, while fairly close to the treasury estimate, departed from tlie
