IS <U.P> Th*' National league is being mated tr> the unusual spectacle of the hitherto lowly Phillies command Ing an undisputed lead in the longue. with the highly-touted Giants groaning in the cellar. Between them everything is topsy-turvy. Don Hurst surprised his Phillie team mates and amazed himself yesterday by blasting out a homer sh the eighth with the bags load•«1. to defeat the Giants. 7 to 6. He made his clout off the screw-j ball delivery of the formidable! t'arl Hubhf'll. Less than two hours before, he had remarked to reporters that southpaws like Hubbell “are keeping me from getting anywhere in baseball." At the same time the questionable Dodgers walloped the Bravos 8 to 2. the rising Reds tumbled before the Cubs 8 to 2. and the Pirates hooked a fl to 7 game from the champion Cardinals. The Dodgers played excellent hall, particularly Cuccinello and Stripp. the fellows who came from Cincinnati, and Hack Wilson.

JUDGE GIVEN PRISON TERM .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONg witness stand. He began his 25-minute story, tears streaming down his ashen face—a confession that he had destroyed records to save his daughter. Judge Thad Dryson followed with a dramatic plea for clemency. Judge W. A. Devin ruled that his colleague must serve 12 months In the Wake county -jail on a misdemeanor charge. A felony con- ! viction would have disbarred him. The girl was sentenced to two years in state prison. The judge and his daughter, an j honor graduate of North Carolina State college Jor women, were taken immediately to their ve- ’ spective prisons and started servj ing their sentences. Miss Harwood embezzled $4,823 in state tax funds, records reveal-1 I ed, when an audit whs ordered. Het father prepared a defense. He was given access to state records. It was then that he erased and blotted figures to cover up his daughter’s crime. Harwood was indicted and he ■ was suspended at his own request I pending trial. It is believed that ] he will resign his post as judge r,t ' once.

Brodsky has two other daughters and a son. Harry Pnbenstein. Brodsky's at- , torney, was reported in New York s lon a ferret mission.

Massie is recalled to the stand he is expected to re- i la'e for the first time what happen-' ed last January when Kahahawaii was spirited away from this ancient,! judiciary building and a bullet fired into his heart, thus revealing I who did the shooting. Kelley's point, however, was that Darr w first must name the slay-1' er if Lieut. Massie is to be per-, mit ed to bring the Ala Moana j case—as the attack on Mrs. Thalia: (Fortescue Massie is known—furth-' er into this trial. Darrow's an-', nouncement that insanity would be brought up on behalf of the actual I slayer spurred Kelley in his de-' mands. "We want to know for whom in-' sanity is being pleaded." Kelley said. “If this is admitted, we pre-; sume it would automatically dis-, close the slayer.” The canny defense chief, how-1 ever, may contend that the Ala Moana case is admissible as a mo-tive,--in short, a move to estab-1 1 lish the killing as nnpremediated. I Kelley promised he would oppose I that contention as well. Darrow, stricken suddenly Thursday afternoon by a slight digestive ailment after finishing a swim at i Waikiki Beach, disappointed hundreds who had waited at the courti house all night to hear Lieut. Mas:;sie's closing testimony. The elderly counsel —he will be 75 Monday—was attended by Lieut. Com. J. E. Porter, navy physician

Meanwhile, the crush of would-be spectators around the judiciary Lails threatened to become a major !e:n. Some of those who waited all Friday night to hear the case yesterday reported much rivalry among sec ions of the crowd aS they jockeyed for seats. Police Chief Charles Weber finally ordered all spectators away from the building, explaining there were "so many loiterers that routine court business can't be carried on." Lyman H. Bigelow, chairman of the public works board, remonstrated with Chief Webber, holding it was better to have an orderly crowd than a mob which might possibly rush the gales in the morning. Grimly determined spectators continued to swarm the lawn, equipped with camp chairs, newspapers and thermos Itottles ot coffee.

(ROOSEVELT HAS 215 VOTES ON I!RST BALLOT — (CUNTINUKD HUM PAGE <JNk.t fessing officially H position of in'll Irallty. every Informed denioeratlc politician knows that those in con trol of the Democratic national commith’ are not for Roosevelt. It Is ail op> n secret that Alfred H Smith spoke their inner feelings when he made his attack on •‘dcniociaey" at the Jefferson day dinner. This has made Rmiaevelt's "for gotten man'' speech historic. Time will tell whether Roosevelt commitied a politieiil blunder in going <m record ns favoring helping the man at the bottom instead of concentrating all government aid nn those at the top of the economic heap. Many of Roosevelt's friends are satisfied to let the matter stand where Smith left it. If eon sideration for the ''forgotten man" .it the bottom be di-mogngory. they argue, let his enemies make tlio worst of it. The collapse of the Kreuger Interests whose securities were sold in this country by one of the most respectable houses, the receivership of the Insnll Middle West Utilities company, the larg est in history, the use of reconstruction corporation funds to pay off r"ilroad loans to J. P Morgan and Co., against the better judgment of the interstate commerce commission, are episodes of the drastic deflation which indicate to some that the "forgotten man" can he given some attention safely without danger of pampering him. Roosevelt's enemies have pushed this issue out into prominence. This speech which they are now using in the hope of dyeing him a narlnr pink attracted little atten tion until Smith's attack caused it to be revived. It was delivered vs part of a cigarette program in which Roosevelt appeared along with a dance orchestra and a Broadway gossip columnist who Introduced him. And the chances are that Roosevelt, after getting this advertising by Smith in a form which probably will make him housands of votes in the west, will bob up very shortly with a few solid words aimed at substantial business interests to win back the approval of the New York Times and other such conserva-
