Ry all rights, the White Sox ahould have smacked the Yankees down twice yeaterday, but they merely got an even break. The evll hand worked several days fixing the stage for their loss In the opener.

July 31 <U.R> All I know ahout the report that the Yankee luiaeball empire la going to be sold la that it can be had for a price. The asking price would be around 310000.006 but If 1 anybody came along and laid 18.000.000 on the line In ready money, the heirs would wrap the whole thing up in tit) foil and say. "Take 11. Mister" You must keep In mind that when Jake Ruppert was alive the Yankees were his pride and joy and about the only bobby he knew in his late years Today the Yankees may lie a pride and joy to the heirs but they are no hobby, and It the heirs are to get any substantial dough out of the estate of the late brewer it must come from the sales of property, and the Yanke«>s with their far-flung chain system represent a very rich I , property Indeed. Now where are you going to find anybody around town with sufficient money and sufficient Interest in baseball to lay 38.000. 000 on the line? Don't wear your eyes out looking because there , Isn't any such animal. If the Yankees are sold - and some day they will be—lt will be piece by piece, club by club, and perhaps. , In the end. even player by player This brings me up to what I think may eventually be the solui tlon to the messy baseball situation which exists In Bt. Louis, which is strictly a one-club city, but which tries with commercial futility to support two major league cluba — the Cards and Browns 1 happen to know that the Yankees would not mind selling their Kansas City club, which is In the I process of building up an enviable attendance and artistic record. What's more Kansas City llsetf has major league aspiration. The team as It stands today probably could perform creditably in either of the big leagues It Wouldn’t win any pennants but It would do all right. I happen to know that if Sam Breadon. who owns the Cards, wants to buy the Kansas City club he will not have the door slsmmed In his, face. And this goes for the bunch of Mt. Utula business men who are behind the Browns. What I'm trying to say Is that If either Breadon or the Browns' group wants to move, the Yankees will listen to a proposition concerning Kansas City. Everybody In baseball knows the St. Lulls situation has reached such a state that something * must be done and that something * amounts to moving one of the clubs, either the Browns or the Cards, out of town Breadon has his home there and doesn't want to move; the people back of the ! Browns think that In time they , can put their enterprise over sue- * cessfully What's going to come out of this ' stalemate? Off hand It would . seem to be a tng of war of finB snees ('an Breadon outlast the ; other fellows In a plural losing adventure? How much more . money can Breadon afford to lose l ln trying to force the Browns to : surrender? How far can the peoI pie back of the Browns afford , to go? My guess—and H’s strictly a j guess—ls that when tW> final answer la written the American league will dominate Bt Louis baseball First, because It's traditionally an American league city. Second. I have reason to believe that the group back of ths Browns has received assurances from the American league direc tore that they are In their come. Why do 1 say that? Well, what do you think la back of ths Browne' refusal to put out any more to Install lights In their bell park? Mind you. they own th* — park; the Cards are merely pay

Night base- 1 ball saved Cincinnati — at least 1 pulled It out of a big. ugly flnan ' clal hole, and It has helped Brook-1 lyn. Philadelphia. Cleveland, etc With night liasrball maybe Breadon and the Cards could make 8 go of It; without night (Mseball they are definitely licked. The i Cards are still very much In the pennant fight In tbelr league and yet they aren't drawing peanuts, as the lx>ys say .and of course you can't blame people for staying away from the Browns, consider Ing 4>e shape they are In. Well, my thought on thia Is that the directors of the American league are encouraging the Browns to lay off night Imaeball. and thud make It tougher for Breadon and the Cards. I think this part of a -idled sisategy to force Breadon to cry "enough." and move Os course Breadon could taxe hla Cards to Columbus, where he owns a franchise, and maybe In the end he will Rut Kansas City seems to be more of a major league prospect, and potentially It promises greater finsTicial returns.

MCNUTT BUCKS f F. D. R. POLICY McNutt On Record Ab Supporting Roosevelt Foreign Policy Cleveland. July 11-0 M V McNutt, fedora) social security administrator, was on record to- , day In support of President Roosevelt's foreign policy ( McNutt crltlcixed "extreme Islolatlonlam'' as leading ultimately . to heavy mllltarixatlon and destruction of what he called “our classic pattern of a Democratic republic of peace." The former Philippines' high commissioner and Indiana governor spoke yesterday at the dedication of the Cleveland cultural gardens In Rockefeller Park, an event of the seventh world poultry congress The address was radiocast nationally "Isolationism means al least j trebling our present navy." Me- , Nutt said, "for we ahould have the coast lines of two huge continents 'to defend It means aliattdonlng many inarketa for our agricultural products putting two-thlrds of the cotton producing south out of action " McNutt said he agreed with Secretary of State Cordell Hull that 1 'Tt ia our natlon’a duty to Itwlf to make Its appropriate contribution toward preservation and advancement of the principles of Intermit tonal law and of the orderjly and cooperative processes of International relations" I McNutt said he favors a national course opposite to “the withdrawal from the entire current of world ' affairs.'' Political quarters speculated on the possibility that the Indianan was bidding for Roosevelt support for his own interest In the 1840 Democratic presidential nomination. McNutt said that "certain nattona openly, even brutally, state that their alma la war unless ■ware Is iMHtght by surrender Other nations, like ourselves, desire only to keep the peace." he said. "We have an Interest that other countries shall not attempt to force the irpolitical doctrines on us and that In solving their difficulties they do not precipitate the world Into a war. which neceaaar-l Uy will affect the United Rtatee economically, if Indeed we can! avoid being embroiled In actual I military conGlct "Thuoe countries which take the same view of peace that we do, happen to have for the moment I an Interest which helps us In - asking any country to defend th* ' peatv. or to assisting it do so by 1 exerting a steady Influence In fav-' 1 or of such non-warllke powers, we are not aasisting that other court 1 try as much as ye are assisting 1 ourselves" - " o— " Beardstown. 111. — (U.R) — A 100- , year-old hammer, brought to this I country from Denmark, la prised by Cyrus Christensen.
