GREENBERG IS AHEAD OF BABE RUTH'S RECORD Tigers Slugger Seven Games Ahead Os Ruth’s Homer Record Chicago, July 28—(U.R>—Eleven years ago Rabe Ruth hit 60 home runs. Today Hank Greenberg. Dei troit first baseman, was ahead of I Babe Ruth's pace nnd everyone ; 1 Interested in baseball was wondering whether he could keep It up or not. Greenberg yesterday hit No. 32 ' and 33. In 1927 Ruth hit his 33rd ; home run In his 95th game of the t season. Greenberg hit his In his 88th game. Now Ruth is standing on the i sidelines, trying to root the Brooklyn Dodgers into a first division 1 berth. Greenberg is only slugging away for a second division ball ■ club. While Greenberg’s attempt to break Ruth's record is one of the vital issues in the sport today, It I does not affect the pennant race.[ The New York Yankees continued to hold their game and a half lead ; over the Cleveland Indians by defeating the St. Louis Browns, 7-5. Cleveland beat the Philadelphia Athletics. 12-11, in a see-saw game.. In the other American league game Detroit triumphed over Washington. 9-4. Greenberg was the hero of that game with his two homers. Pittsburgh gained a full game on the New York Giants by beating! the Phillies 4-2 Floyd Young drove in four runs on a single, a homer and a fielder's choice. Lon Warneke pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-0 triumph over the New York Giants. He allowed only four hits and was superb in the pinches. It was the Giants' fifth straight defeat. In a night game Brooklyn defeated the Cubs. 3-2. when George Stainback singled, enabling the Dodgers to come from behind to win. The Boston Bees rose out of their | slump to beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 and 5-1. Danny MacFayden held the Reds to five hits in the first game and Lou Fette duplicated his performance in the nightcap. Yesterday's hero — Hank Greenberg. Detroit first baseman, who clouted home runs No. 32 and 33 to move ahead of Ruth's 1928 pace toward the record for home runs. o , * Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore ♦ ♦ New York. July 28. —jtU.R>—l wish I knew for sure if the Joe LouisMax Schmeling fight film which is being shown in Germany has been as doctored and censored as reports say. According to one report from Germany the picture which purposes to be that of the last bout between Joe and Max, is instead a hodge podge of both their fights, the chief scenes being those which show Max beating the daylights out of Joe two years ago. If there is such a film being ex hibited. and if it is good enough to fool the good burghers of Berlin and environs, then I want to get in touch with the man who arranged it and bring him to this country. I want to place that man in charge of a news reel theatre I have in mind —a new reel the-I ater that will please every patron of sport. My news reel theatre will be called the "see what you like and nothing else theatre.” It will be the job of the man from Berlin to take the films of all sports events

and doctor them so they will please everyone. Take the picture of a HarvardYale game, which was won by Yale, 7 to 6. for example. Naturally. a picture whose climax comes when Yale completes a winning touchdown pass will be galling to Harvard men. So it will be the assistant's duty to dig up some film showing Harvard throwing a winning pass and stick that in the picture. Then we will advertise like this: “Come and see the Harvard-Tale game pictures. Yale wins at 4, 6, 8. and 10 p. m. and Harvard at 5,7, 9. and 11 p. m.” A scheme like that can t miss. We'll get all the trade. Baseball, tennis, golf, rowing, and racing pictures can be given the same treatment. Wouldn't it be nice for the Bill Terry despisers. when the Giants won an important series, to be able to sit in a comfortable, air cooled theater and watch a film showing the Yankees knocking the stuffing out of the Terrymen in a world series? If the idea clicked, and I don't see how it could miss, sport writers could put it into practice in writing their stories. Take the stories of the Kentucky derby, for instance. The racing writers could just use a lead like this: “The 75th running of the Kentucky derby today was won by—(fill in blank with name of horse you bet on) in the record time of 2:01 before a crowd of 80,000.” This would please everybody, because a fellow could just stick in the name of the nag that was carrying his dough and go down and collect from the bookmaker and then go around telling everybody how smart he was. Os course, this would no doubt cause an argument here and there but then arguments are w’hat make sport interesting. But to get back to the LouisSchmeling film, German version. I wonder what rating the Berlin drama critics gave it? All I can say is that if they gave it half, or even a third as many stars as Schmeling saw when Joe’s right hit him. then it is a wonder picture.

SENATOR SEEKS ELECTION PROBE Sen. Walsh Asks Inquiry Into South Dakota Practices Washington. July 28 — (U-P) 1 . Sen. David I Walsh. D„ Mass., of the senate campaign expenditures 11 Investigating committee today ask- ' the agriculture department to; • Investigate charges the farm •ewir- ' ity administration is playing P 0" Ges in South Dakotas general election. . Walsh wrote Secretary of Agri- ' culture Henry A. Wallace asking' an inquiry into charges that th I farm security administration mailed publicity under its franking privilege, designed to influence the general election in South Dakota. Former Governor Tom Berry. Democrat, and Chan Gurney. Republican, are battling for the South 1 Dakota senate seat. Walsh asked Wallace to ascertain who was responsible for the farm security publicity and to report to the committee. It was the second committee move to investigate tlie South Dakota charges. Chairman Morris | Sheppard. D.. Tex., of the commiti tee, yesterday wrote Postmastei . [General James A. Farley, asking j an inquiry into alleged abuses of I the frankling privilege in that ■ state. At the same time Walsh renewed criticism of political activities in Tennessee, where six committee investigators were dispatched for a field inquiry. He said the Tennessee political fight involves political methods that would "shock the American people” if full details were disclosed. The Tennessee preliminary report, submitted by Ralph Burton, the committee investigator, deals with alleged “rigging" of voters' lists, assessment of both state and federal employes for campaign

funds, coercion of federal and slate employes, and political threats, n I committee member said. Walsh ( declined to comment on the report. • The preliminary reports sub-1 mined to the committee indicate; methods are being used to influence votes and money Is being used on such a lavish scale that It , is almost unbelievable that a po- ( litlcal election could reach such a low level ” Walsh said. "If the conditions reported to, the committee are widespread in I general. the American people! would be shocked. ■ Apparently to get a real picture of the situation the committee', ought to have an investigation ini every voting precinct, which of course is an impossible task." | The committee also sent investl- ■ gators to six other states to study I charges of coercion of relief workers. assessment of government , employes, misuse of franking privlI leges, and an alleged plot to buy I a general election. The investigation of the campaign in Tennessee was rushed so ihat the committee would receive a report before the primary Aug. 4—in which Sen. George L. Berry is opposed l>y four other Democrats. Those opposing Berry in the Tennessee primary are Tom Stewart. J. Ridley Mitchell, John R. Neal, and Edward W. Carmack. Berry, who recently became a critic of the new deal program, reportedly is backed by Gov. Gordon Browning. Stewart has the sup--1 port of E. H. Crump.
