Tempers were raw and faces
flushed after Senator Ferguson
(R.-Mich.) complained that the
Democrats had filibustered
against the vote fraud inquiry and
Senator Connally (D.-Tex.) came
back with an angry reply. Senator
Bandenberg (R.-Mich.), as presid

Connally to “take his seat.”
Brewster finally gave up. The
Senate confirmed Perlman 58 to

In the House, members had fin

ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.)
While the Yankees (baseball*
. I
are breezing along towards a pen
nant. Ray Flaherty is making
plans for the Yankees (football) to
do the same thing. ... At least,
he says, they’re going to make a
strong effort to catch up with the
Cleveland Browns, who ran away
from the other all-America con-1
ference teams last season. . . . Ray
has two good reasons for enter- j
taining such hopes—Frankie Sink
wich and Buddy Young. . . . Sink-.
wich, overweight and troubled by
a knee injury, has been working
out in Georgia since last spring
and is down to 190 pounds. When
Frank is good, he’s very good and
he’ll give the Yankees an experi
enced passer, something they did
not have last year. ... As for
Young, he only weighs 170 pounds
but he’s only 5-feet-5. says Ray:
“If he was a six-footer he’d weigh
about 210. And he’s harder to;
tackle because he’s so close to the
ground. Buddy can go through
the middle and then run away.
from the secondaries.” ... As for |
support for this pair, Flaherty re- J
ports he has 22 tackles and guards
whose weight averages better than
225 pounds per man.
Claude “Big Monk” Simmons:
put Tulane university on the ath-1
letic map as trainer and coach of j
nearly every sport for a 24-year!
period. . . . His son, “Little Monk” i
a four-letter winner and star half-;
back in 1934, went on to become
Tulane’s athletic director. . . . And
now it’s eight-year-old “Chip
monk” Simmons who is winning
athletic honors. . . . The third of
the “Monk” series won a trophy
as “best all around athlete and
sportsman” in a test at his New
Orleans school. . . . Would you j
say Chipmonk is aping the older
monks?
_I
NEW YORK, (/P)—The Yankees j
managed to tie the Chicago White
Sox’ record of 19 straight victor
ies before they were stopped last i
week, but they couldn’t even come
close to one record established by
the hitless wonders 41 years ago.
. . . During August, 1906, while
the Sox were making their record, •
big Ed Walsh pitched six shutout
games. . . . Walsh, who lives in
Meriden, Conn., blanked the High-|
landers (who later became the
Yanks), the Red Sox and the Ath
letics two times each during that1
one month, giving up only 24 hits1
in all. . . . That is believed to be
a major league record, though the
books don’t show it, and just to
prove it wasn’t a fluke, big Ed re
peated the feat two years later. . . .
In 1908 he horse-collared six op
ponents during September, but
was hit more freely. ... Nearest
thing to those feats was Grover
Alexander’s four shutouts for the
Phillies in August, 1916, the year
he hurled 16 scoreless games.
Commenting on a report that
George Halas and Bob Zuppke
frere cooking up in a new football
offense for the Chicago Bears be
cause rival coaches had learned
all about the “T”, Luke Johnson
has this to say: “As far as the
other people catching up with the
Bears, Halas never lets his com
petitors get within five years of
his offense. George’s theory is
that he can learn from a China
man and Zuppke isn’t a China
man.”
Mexico City’s newest hydro
electric power plant was paid for
out of a special ten per cent tax
on electricity users, beginning in
1938.
