TRADED HUhLERS FEATURE GAMES Pitchers Sent To Other Teams Benefit By Change New York. July 30.-<U.P.>~ Next to a hard fast one and a good change of pace nothing helps the average pitcher more than a change of scenery. Pitchers traded, sold or waived after losing favor in their old bailiwicks are cutting fancy capers in new major league records showed today. The pace-setting New York Yankees In the American league have benetitted more than any other club from “change of scenery" pitching. Monte Pearson, Pat Malone and Hump Hadley, all of whom used to toil in other places, have accounted for no less than 81 of the New Yorkers’ 64 victories and should come pretty close to pitching the Yanks into the junior league pennant. Pearson, who won eight and lost 13 with Cleveland last season, has a record of 13 wins and five losses with the Yanks. Malone won only “Perfectly Air Conditioned’’ - Last Time Tonight - Hear Four Song Hits! FRANCES LANGFORD “PALM SPRINGS” With Sir Guy Standing.

Hadley, who won lo attd ) lost 15 with Washington In 1936, leads all New York pitchers In the percentage column with eight vier torles and one defeat. Offsetting New York's gains to some extent is the loss of Jimmy Deshong, who, traded to Washington, sports a 13-6 winning margin. The runner-up Cleveland Indians are benefiting from “change of scenery" pitching, too. Johnny Al1 len, obtained from New York for Pearson, has an 11-7 record to 1 date.

NO DISCUSSION OF DISMISSALS Olympic Officials Refuse Comment On Latest Action Berlin, July 30 —(UP)—Officials, of the American Olympic team. em-| harrassed by the publicity given the; suspension of Eleanor Holm Jarrett, | adopted a “hands off" policy today; in the mysterious dismissal of two ( members of the Boxing squad. Joel Church. Batavia. N. Y.. feather-j weight, and Howell King Detroit negro welterweight. Church and King, dropped from 1 the team yesterday, were aboard; the IT. S. liner Manhattan today j bound for home. Why they were hustled out of the Olympic village under cover of darkness and given no opportunity to ta'k with reporters remained a mystery. Joe Davis of Chicago, manager, of the boxing team, siad ‘ The boys were homesick and their mental attitude so endangered the morale of the boxing squad that they had to. Ire sent home.” Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic committee, professed to know nothing of the de-1 tails. “However. 1 believe the boxing l committee acted entirely within: their rights and it is exclusively their affair," said Brundage. Meanwhile tra k and field ath-j letes seemed to be approaching peak condition In today's workout. Most of the ath'etes arose today; less stiff and sore than at any time since they have been in Berlin. This convinced head coach Lawson Robertsi.n and others that the Ath-

Politicians to Bombard Ether f ’H • #Y i ■Mflr ? I iiill * OI > Iw> i i I “— Governor Landon —“ American radio listeners will be targets for an unprecedented verbal bombardment during the next three months, according to predictions based on a preliminary survey of broadcasting schedules for the duration of the 1936 national political campaign. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic standard bearer, and Gov. Alfred M. Landon, G. O. P. presidential nominee, already have arranged for several nation-wide broadcasts prior to the November election. Scores of others have filed requests for radio time and the demands are expected to increase as the campaign progresses. Meanwhile broadcasters face the difficult task of arranging their daily schedules to please not only the politicians and sponsors of commercial orograins, but listeners as well. Radio showmen anticipate a rumble of protest .com listeners who do not care to have their favorite entertainers replaced by discussions on the New Deal, the budget. or the countless other issues of a major political campaign.

KIKICUYLER LEADING REDS Veteran Outfielder Pacing Cincinnati Ball Club Cincinnati, July 30. If Kikl t uyler continues his present pace until the end of the season and the Reds are able to flnixli in first division it Is quite likely that this veteran outfielder may have an excellent chance of being voted the most valuable player in lhe league. Cuyler's comeback after a mediocre season in 1935 has been remarkable. He seems certain to hit well above the .300 mark, and is on his way to 200 hits, 100 runs and a healthy total of runs hatted in. Cuyer has been performing in left field during the Reds’ recent games. He started out as the club’s center fielder, but shifted to right when Ival Goodman was injured. When Goody returned to the lineup. Kiki went over to left. This apparently hasn't affected his play at all and he is at home in one garden as in another. The Reds wind up their eastern tour in Brooklyn Stinday, after which they are scheduled to play an exhibition game in Richmond, Va„ before returning to Crosley Field for one series . This series will consist of a night game against the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday evening, and afternoon contests against the same club on Thursday and Friday. Then the club will be gone for another week. Toni Sheehan, veteran coach of
