JOE DIMAGGIO DAY AHEAD OF RUTH'S RECORD Yankee Star ( louts 31st Home Run Os Season Sunday New York. Aug 2— (U.R) —Joe Dimaggio, slugging sophomore outfielder of the New York Yankees. Mood today on the threshold of a new home run record—a mark set by Balie Ruth 10 years ago. Jolting Joe. who came to the majors from the San Francisco, Seals last year, has a one game • better chance of reaching Ruth s 1927 mark of 60. Ruth hit his 31st home run that year in the Yankees' 90th game, i leaving him 64 tilts to clout 29 more. Joe banged his 31st in the Yanks' 91st game yesterday, but because of two tied games which will have to be replayed, he has 65 contests left. Regardless of Joe’s home run ability, he appears destined to become a better all-around ball player than Ruth ever was. The Rabe never was a great fielder, and Dimaggio is one of the great- i est. He roams wide both to left ; and right from his center garden | position, and his deadly accurate throw to the plate has cut Off many runs. Besides his homer yesterday, the 23-year old Italian collected a single and double in three official trips to the plate for a perfect day at bat. He scored three runs and drove in three more as the Yankees blasted the St. Louis Browns 14-5. The Yanks got 17 hits, Lou Gehrig hitting for a "cycle "—home run. triple, double and single. Dimaggio is now challenging Gehrig for the American league batting mark with an average of i .373, five less than the iron man. He has been at bat 359 times and j botten 134 hits to lead the circuit j tn total safeties. His 93 runs are more than any other major ■ league player, topping Hank Greenberg of Detroit by seven, and the I Today and Tuesday Continuous from 2 P. M.

j 99 runs he has batted In are only four less than Greenberg's total.

M. (U.R) — Sitdown strikes are not a 20th century innovation. Court records here show that a sit-down occurred in 1884 when ; Indians objected to the amount ■ of land being used in construction ot a railroad across Indian territory and squatted impassively on the right-of-way. In May. 1884. the records show, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs directed the U. S. Indian agent at Union Agency, Indian Territory, “to cause the removal of numerous unauthorized persons who have established themselves on the right-of-way and station grounds” of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway. The records further recite that the railroad "complained that It was seriously embarrassed and impeded in proper execution of its legitimate business by their presence.” The records add that execution of the order was for various unnamed reasons suspended until Oct. 1, 1885, indicating the sitdown may have lasted for 18 months, a record not even approached by present-day demonstrations. Canadian-Haiti Pact Signed OTTAWA, Ont. (U.R) — A new trade agreement, providing for exchange of "most favored nation” treatment in tariff matters, has just been signed between Canada and Haiti.
