FOXX IS WELL ON WAY TO SURPASS RUTH’S HOMFR KECORD

Pace Set by Athletic Star Is Sensational Beat Sixty, Is Goal, and Jimmy Now Has Thirty-Nine; Mackmen Annex Double-Header and Cubs Gain on Pittsburgh Pirates. Ity United I’rrti NEW YORK. July 20. Jimmy Foxx, ruddv-faced former Maryland farm boy, threatens to blast out anew all-time home run record of approximately sixty-six this season. If Connie Mack's slugging first baseman can continue his present sensational clip until the Athletics’ 154 games are played, he will beat Babe Ruth's 1927 record of sixty by about six homers. In ninety-one games played so far, Jimmy has driven out thirtynine four-baggers, an average of 428 home run a game. If he can average .428 lor the remaining sixty-three games he will make 65.912 home runs, mighty close to sixty-six. Figuring Babe Ruth's sixty home runs on the basis of 154 games, the Bambino averaged only .389 homers per contest. He actually played 151 games in 1927. But the cold figures show that the 26-year-old former truck farmer has a healthy lead in average over Ruth’s 1927 record performance.

Jimmy showed no signs of weakening with his thirty-seven-ounce bat Tuesday when he drove out home run No. 39 in the nightcap of the double-header, whieh the As took from the Browns, 9 to 8 and 16 to 6. Eight Hits by Cramer Jimmy’s teammate, Roger Cramer, also did well at bat, connecting for eight hits in ten chances during both games. Three were doubles. Lefty Grove pitched the opener for the Athletics, and Rube Walborg the nightcap. This double victory enabled the Mackmen to gain a half game on the leading Yankees. The Yanks registered their fourth consecutive victory over the White Sox, 6 to 3, as Lefty Gomez turned in his sixteenth victory. Joe Sewell homered for New York, his eighth of the year. The Tigers administered their third straight beating to the Washington Senators, 3 to 2. Four-hit pitching by Wes Ferrell resulted in a 7-to-0 shutout victory for Cleveland over the tail-end Red Sox. Phils, Pirates Split tn the National League, the Cardinals replaced Brooklyn in fifth position by trouncing the Dodgers, 5 to 3. The leading Pirates split a double-header with the Phillies. The Pirates took the opener, 5 to 2, but dropped with the nightcap, 6 to 5, in eleven innings. Bill Swift pitched the first game for the Pirates, gaining his tenth victory of the season. It was his seventh win in a row'. In the second Tuesday pitcher Collins of the Phils tripled in the eleventh and scored the winning run on Bartell’s single. Chuck Klein poled his twenty-ninth homer in the nightcap. The runner-up Chicago Cubs gained half a game on Pittsburgh by nosing out the Giants, 5 to 4, as Lonnie Warneke scored his fourteenth victory for Chicago. Boston blanked the Cincinnati Reds, 2 to 0, when Ed Brandt downed Red Lucas in a pitching duel. Griffith and Risko in Bout />’ i/ 1 tiitcil Prc*s CLEVELAND.

The Truth about WHITE OWL CIGARS \lf you enjoy a good cigar f read this frank statement of facts]

The executives of the General Cigar Cos., Inc., early in 1931 met to consider what was the most important step the company had ever been asked to take. It was proposed to reduce the price of the White Owl cigar, which for fourteen years had sold at 7 cents, and up, to 5 cents. The price reduction was to be made without decreasing the size of the cigar, or changing the tobacco in it. In blunt terms, the proposal meant selling at 5 cents the identical cigar which was then being bought by millions at a higher price. ii i TANARUS) speak frankly, there were misgivings among the executives of the company justifiable and logical misgivings. The White Owl was a long invincible shape. It was a long filler cigar; not made of scraps and broken leaves, typical of oversize 5-cent cigars. Furthermore, the tobacco in it was the most expensive long filler leaf that this country grows. To market the White Owl exactly as it was, at 5 cents, seemed a manufacturing impossibility. To reduce the size, or take anything out of the quality of the cigar, was not for a minute considered. If this were done, White Owl would become merely another 5-cent cigar, trading for a limited time on the name, popularity, and prestige it enjoyed at higher prices. 4* • ,ii i In the face of facts and figures of production which said "No”, the executives continued to study the proposal because the underlying principle of the General Cigar Cos., Inc., argued for the reduction. Giving the consumer the almost which can be delivered at a price, and still make a profit for dealer, distributor, and manufacturer is the basic policy of the company. Its progress and its success have been written in adherence to this principle. After days of analysis of costs of production, and a far-seeing forecast of results, the executives decided to reduce White Owl to 5 cents, and still manufacture it exactly as it was being made. No economy in buying tobacco aided them. White Owl long filler tobacco had been purchased two and three years before they took this critical step. But costs of production, of merchandising, and of distributing, were cut by many ingenious efficiencies. The margins of profit of manufacturer and distributor were narrowed. The dealer was to pay more for White Owl than standard 5-cent brands. All were to net t less on the sale of one cigar, and gain increased profit through the rapid turnover of multiplied sales.

and Ted Sullivan, state commission representative. CLINTON LEGION CHAMP By Time Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., July 20.—Clinton won the Sixth district American Legion baseball tournament here Tuesday, defeating Terre Haute in the final contest, 9 to 6. In the semi-finals Clinton whipped Crawfordsville, 2 to 1, and Terre Haute eliminated Montezuma, 8 to 4.

But basing the decision most of all on vast output, the executives of the General Cigar Cos., Inc., in June, 1931, ordered the reduction of White Owl to 5 cents. ii f The mathematical results of White Owl at 5 cents were amazing. Within a month it broke all cigar records for rapid increase of consumption. In one year the White Owls smoked have passed the 425,000,000 mark. Smokers who smoked White Owl at higher prices at once knew r it for unmatched smoking value. Smokers of higher priced cigars, turning to it as a real economy, found no let-down in smoking satisfaction. Smokers of standard 5-cent brands flocked to its generous size and fine appearance. Better tobacco will tell, and White Owl told quickly to discriminating smokers. In turn the world saw it in the vast consumption of White Owls. ii f HeRE and there a skeptic could not believe that it was the same 7-cent White Owl being sold at 5 cents, and his skepticism was not so surprising. Though the cigar looked the same, and smoked the same, some men could not but distrust a value which seemed impossible. All the time the guarantee of the General Cigar Cos., Inc., backed up their statement that it was the same identical White Owl. Doubt cannot stand up in the face of quality. White Owd at 5 cents established itself at the cigar case as the same cigar which sold 14 years at 7 cents, and up. If one seeks the secret of how the General Cigar Cos., Inc., can manufacture a cigar and sell it at 5 cents, which sold for 14 years at higher prices, the answer lies in organized production and vast output. It is explained by the fact that manufacturer, distributor, and dealer all net smaller profit on the sale of one cigar. In the last analysis, the consumers, through their spontaneous co-operative buying, make themselves the beneficiaries of White Owl’s price and vast consumption. 1 ii SmOKE White because it is top value in a 5-cent c% -x* ut never expect your dealer to sell it tor less than a nickel. He cannot afford it. He pays more for White Owl than for ordinary 5-cent cigars. It is sold without premiums or prize contests. Big buyer or little buyer, the dealer should get a full nickel for White Owl. The price to the consumer is all in the cigar. Purchase a few of this unique 5-cent cigar, and smoke out the truth of White Owl.
