Hits the Spot
NEW YORK, July 6.—There is a letter at hand from Henry McLemore who has been in London making an exhaustive study of the Brussels sprouts situation and its relation to a balanced wartime diet. Hearing from Mr. McLemore reminds us, with something of a twinge, that there is a form of journalism for which we never were able to qualify, and it leaves us with a deep sense of futility. This form of journalism has no formal classification. For want of 4 Worse phrase it probably could be called doing it the hard way.

OF COURSE THAT'S what Mr. Gallico did. He climbed into the ring with Dempsey and Dempsey let him have it flush on the kisser i Mr. Gallico was promptly and pleasantly belted out. In due se he was revived and the following morning his readers learned on intimate authority that what they had been hearing about Dempsey was true; he really did hurt you when he hit you. Looking back, we can see we didn't have the intense interest and curiosity that mark the hard way boys. We would say: “Dempsey doesn’t have to hit me to prove he can punch. I know he can.” But Was just a pose, a superior attitude assumed to conceal our indolence and very likely our cowardice.
the first game with his 10th homer as Dizzy Trout held Washington to six hits. Early Wynn allowed 10 Tiger hits in the second contest, but scattered them effectively as his mates hammered across six runs in the first four innings.
Gordon Leads Yankees that Joe Gordon led the Yankees to a twin win over St. Louis, 3-2 and 8-5. He hit his ninth homer in the top half of the 11th to break up a pitching duel between Charlie Wensloff and George Caster in the opener and punched out a single. double and triple to pace a 12-hir New York attack in the nightcap. Chicago split with the Red Sor to remain tied for third place with Detroit. Four Boston errors gave Chicago three runs and a 4-2 triumph in the first game, but Yank Terry allowed only six hits to give the Red Sox a 6-1 decision in the nightcap. Brooklyn came out of a five-game losing spell by trouncing Chicago, 6-3 and 8-2, to trim the National league's leading St. Louis Cardinals’ margin to three games.

He writes: “It n't until I started going to the camps over here that I fully realized sp mean to boys I wrote sports for a long time with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. as Know, but I never would We have gone out and started talking to 700 or 800 soldiers in the evening and wound up long past midnight, still answering the stars, telling the boys about fights and races and I suppose one has to be a youngster to feel that wav about games but it is certainly true of the boys over here.

I was at Windsor the other day and there were 40.000 persons there trying to beat the bangtails.
