Ala., and a guy said to him: “You can really throw that apple.” Everybody kept saying the aaine thing to Bryant but he never could win ball game*. The he found the 1 magic touch. Today he is one of the greatest right-handed pitchers I it) the National league. With Gabby Hartnett coaxing hint behind the plate, Bryant pitched the sweetest game of his; major league career yesterday—a two-hit shutout over the New York; Giants. He not only pitched the Gubs to a 7-0 victory but he beat , King Carl Hubhell. The triumph ] narrowed the margin between the; second place Giants and the third ; place Cubs to a game and a half.

| one of the meanest fast balls in I baseball. Mel Ott doubled in the i seventh for the scond and last hit j off the tall, curly haired Cub pitchI er. Pittsburgh lost its second ' straight game when Johnny Lan- • ning of the Boston Bees held the I National league leaders to four hits I and enabled the Boston Bees to I score a 3-1 victory.

Aug. 3XU.PJ—The yellow baseball was given a trial t'y : a jury of its peerers yesterday, , the peerers being the Dodgers of , Brooklyn and the Cardinals of St. | bouis. The trial resulted in a hung jury. | Some of the players condemned it, some voted for acquittal, and oth-1 I ers said it looked no different to them than the standard white ball : which has been in use since Abner ' Doubleday laid out the first diam- ■ ond. In other words, the first major league test of the new yel- ' i low-hued ball did not result in any ! definite verdict as to the advisabil- 1 ity of its general adoption. The yellow ball was devised by 1 Frederick Ruhr, a great human!- ’ j tarian who thought its high visbil- ’ ity would lessen the danger of ; players being hit by pitched balls. ! Players evidently have no high re- ! gat'd for their skulls because not ' ] one of them mentioned the safety I factor of the yellow ball when I ' discussed it with them in dressing 1 room and dugout. Babe Ruth, now a Brooklyn ! coach and also a smuggler of wat- 1 i ermelons if one is to judge by his ' ! waistline, expressed this opinion I from around his chew of tobacco: “I didn’t even know it was yeli low until somebody fouled one down there by me. The color don't I ‘ make no difference. It's the guy I who's ckucking ’em at you that J counts. When a good pitcher is 1 , throwing that ball they all look like aspirin tablets." Burleigh Grimes, the man with 1 ' the barbed wire beard, liked the colored ball; said he could follow it from the bench, even during that ■> split second when it streaked past the shirts of the hitters. Burleigh thought it would be a great help to the hitters when the pitcher was working against a white back- < ground of shirt-sleeved bleacher < boys. t Ducky Medwick, the National's ( mightiest hitter, wasn't too en- < thusiastic, but admitted that his ; ! failure to get but one scratch < I single might have something to do < I with the way he felt. “It seemed sort of soft io me.” i Ducky said. “It didn’t seem to j have that hard clicking feeling ' ' that the white ball does. Yet it must be lively enough, because that homer of Mize’s went as far as any he ever hit.” Freddie Fitzsimmons, the .rolypoly pitcher who wort his game 6 to 2 with the new ball, said something would have to be done about the yellow dye before the ball would be any good. “That dye started coming off all over my hands before the first inning was over,” he said. “And as

soon as the dye started coming off the ball got so slick I could hardly get hold of it.” Mr. Rahr. who was an interested witness to the game, said that Fitzsimmons had bit on the real trouble. “We've had chemists working for months trying to find a dye that would withstand perspiration and still not be oily, but so far they haven't hit on it," Rahr said. Leo Durocher, Dodger shortstop and the man who earned the nickname of the “all-America out" by his weak hitting, said he didn't care what kind of ball the league used. “When you hit the way I do,” Leo laughed, "they can throw- a red ball, a green ball, or a fancy dress ball. even, and it doesn't have any difference. I can miss any and al! kinds." From the press box the yellow ball was much easier to watch than a white one, especially on long flies. Even when it rose against the sun it could be followed every inch of the way. My guess is That as soon as the dye is perfected the yellow ball will be adopted.

MOTOR CLUB TO I SEEK CHANGES Hoosier Motor Club Seeks To Curtail l ee System For .1. P.’s Indianapolis, Aug. 3.--<U.P> The 1 Hoosier Motor club announced today that It will seek changes in I the state laws at the next session of the legislature to curtail the fee system for justices of the peace and prosecuting attorneys as applied to the arrest of motorists. Todd Stoops, manager of the I motor chili, said: “Where arrested motorists are i taken before a justice of the I peace, the justice gets fees amountI Ing to about $2 and the prosecuting attorney gets |5 regardless of whether the motorist is found guilty or innotent. This fact leads I to campaigns for traffic enforce- ! ment and some cases have been noted where 100 or more arrests ! a day have been made. That means JSOO a day for the prosecuting attorney and S2OO a day for the justice of the peace. “Traffic enforcement campaigns can mean a lucrative business for the prosecuting attorney and justice of the peace and inasmuch as the arrest hig officer would be placed in a bad light if there were no convictions, the justice and prosecutor see to it that convictions are plentiful. So in order to line the \ pockets of a few public officials. I the motorist is made the goat. Stoops said the motor club was ! instrumental in having a law passI ed in 1927 which curtailed the arresting powers of constables and eliminated a constable’s fee for making a traffic arrest. Stoops added that the club also aided in 1921 in passing a law taking from justices of the peace the right to try traffic violations in first, second. and third class cities. This law applied to only 12 cities, however. o — HOLSTEIN SHOW (CONTINUED FROM FAGE ONE) . has seven records, has produced 77,293 pounds of milk and 3.265.9 pounds of butter fat.
