BRAVES SO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM New York, June 11.-- U.K—The Boston Braves did it but the wrong way. Back In 1914 the Braves rose from the cellar to win the National league pennant and the world championship. Fifteen years later, the Braves presented the 1929 version of the "Miracle Men" by dripping from the top to the bottom. Pennant contenders in April and May, the Braves are in the National league cellar today, a sadly-disorgan-ized and forlorn ball club. Hank Gowdy, Johnny Evers and Rabbit Maranville, heroes of the 1914 team, has made the journey up and down. Game little Maranville, who is in his 36th year and who has been playing major league lva.ll since 1912. has been fighting courageously to hold the hapless Braves up. Traded from a pennant-winning ball club to a second-division outfit, Maranville is playing some of the greatest ball of his career. He is batting well over .30(1 and is near the top in fielding among the shortstops. Gowdy and Evers have been playing their 1929 roles from the Braves' dugout and coaching lines. Judge Emil Fuchs, who took over the managerial role although he never played professional baseball, is said to be ready to turn the team over to Evers, his assistant manager or anyone Ise w.ho will have the job. When Fuchs was gathering his team together this spring, he seriously entertained pennant hopes. The Braves won eight out of their first ten games and got away to a flying start. Judge Fuchs was all) smiles. He thought his dreams were, coming true. The Braves held the lead until May 8 when they started to lose. They dropped to the second division May 23. Judge Fuchs has learned that the old adage —you can't beat the other| man at his own game—is still true’ even in baseball circles. From now one the Braves will do’ their battling with the Phillies. Reds’ and Robins to stay out of the National league cellar. o Watching The Scoreboard By United Press Yesterday’s Hero: Chick Hafey, St 1 Louis Cardinals' .outfielder, whose j heavy hitting helped his team beat the Phillies 10 to 9 and advance with in .002 points of the National League lead. He drove in five runs with home run No. 15, a triple and a double. Woody English had a perfect day at the plate—four for four—as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Boston j Braves, 10 to 8. and climbed within | half a game of the league-leading, Pirates. Harvey Hendrick's home run with two mates on base was the high spot of a fifth inning rally which netted six runs and gave Brooklyn a 7 to 6 i victory over Pittsburgh. The New York Giants dropped their j second straight game when they ran afoul the pitching of Jakie May, Cincinnati southpaw. The Reds pounded Larry Benton out of the game and won, 7 to 3. Bob Grove pitched his tenth victory of the season and the Philadelphia Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox, 3to 1. Joe Boley accounted for all the A's runs, driving in two and scoring the other himself. Waite Hoyt struck out eight men and pitched the New York Yankees to a 3 to 2 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Earle Combs hit two triples. Wildness cost Charlie Ruffing a well-pitched game when he walked three men in succession after Hellmann had singled in the seventh, Detroit beating the Boston Red Sox, 1 to 6. Ruffing permitted but four hits. Ken Holloway's brilliant relief pitching featured Cleveland's 4 to 3 j victory over Washington. Relieving Shaute with the score tied in the fourth, Holloway T< Id the Senato.-g b tless the rest of the game. Averill's doub'e and Joe Sewell's single won the game. o — Oil Conference Opens Colorado Springs, Colo., June 11— (U.R) —President Hoover's billion dollar oil conservation conference got started Monday with indications that it would end in three days without the writing of a compact among the states to conserve the oil resources of the nation. A high government official predicted the conference would result in the establishment of an oil commission with powers to make a compact among the oil producing states and the government. o NOTICE —I am furnishing buttermilk to Bakers, Lose Bros., Green Kettle, Burns, Campbells, Wertzbergers, West End Restaurant, not Motz.

June 11 —(UP) —A 1 . jail without keys—that was the sit--1 nation that confronted the local police department recently. All prisoners were transferted from the old jail to the new one and placed in cells. But there were no keys to lock them in. As a result the prisoners were taken back to the oid bastile and locked , up, while a search for the keys was I made. Investigation revealed that the i city treasurer had placed them in a safe deposit vault and he was in Seattle on business. o— * Raiders Sponge On Hospitality At House — | Boston, June 11 —(UP)-When police raided a Roxbury establishment they hunted in vain for liquor. A pipe running along the floor aroused their curiosity, however and they traced it to the basement, where it entered a large cement block. The mystified raiders returned to the other end of the pipe, tied a sponge to the end of a cord, and forced the sponge down the pipe. Scores of times they sent the sponge to the other end of the big tube. In court they presented 10 quarts of moonshine as evidence. o Peony Day Crowd At V an Wert Breaks Record Van Wert, Ohio June 11.—Sunday was Van Wert’s greatest “Peony Day’’ in number of visitors from out of the city who flocked to the gardens. Main | and Washington streets and the LinI coin highway east and west of Van ■Wert were congested with automobile traffic. “I've seen all the 'Peony Day' crowds and Sunday's was at least onethird larger than any other," Chief of Police W. E. Jackson said after spending several hours at directing . people to the gardens. A supply of . printed sheets suggesting routes for visiting gardens was exhausted in a short time and then police and citi- . zens did their best at telling visitors i where to go. > On account of the gardens visited being scattered about the city and . along the Lincoln highway, no one > ventured to estimate the numbers of i persons who came here to see the I flowers. Take Time for Courtesy There ure not many things that so t clearly reveal a fineness of soul as ■ does politeness. It is a grace of rare • charm, and Is not likely to be too much I praised by us. The Increase of courII teous demeanor and address In the i business world in the last quarter of a > century has been much in evidence. Life Is not so short but there is alr ways time for courtesy.
