The letter Is addressed to em ployees of the board of game com missioners and emphasizes the nec essity for keeping the game com mission free from politics. "Fish and game cannot vote, nor Is their welfare and protection a Republican or Democratic activity," the letter states. "It Is paid for exclusively by our sportsmen, and la for the good of all political parties and of all creeds and con ditions.

"America has- discovered to her sorrow that conservation and politics do not mix.

E MAJOR LEAGUES Gomez Turns In 16th Vic tory Of Season In Yankee Uniform Mahaffey Wins 14th For Athletics. By Edward f. Nell (Associated Press Sports Writer) A spindly left-hander and a tall right hand sharpshooter, both from the finishing school of the Pacific Coast league, are proving better and better arguments, as the season wears on. In favor of the fancy prices the west coast youngsters command In the major league baseball market. Consider the left-hander, Vernon Gomez, late of the San Francisco Seals, polished a bit last season In St. Paul, and now ace of the Yankee pitching staff. In a year when the Yank hurling eccentricities have sent peppery Jco McCarthy, Yankee pilot, home to mope over his victuals, Go mess has been the savior of many a good evening meal. Wins 16th Game Yesterday he turned In his 16th victory of t,ie season, an 8 to 6 con quest of the Chicago White Sox that ran the Yankee winning streak to six, a new high for the team this season. The right hander, Leroy Mahaffey of Connie Mack's staff of., world champion Athletics, turned In an even more stylish performance to win his fourteen victory of the season against only two defeats. The 1929 graduate from Portland, Ore., limited the St. Louis Browns to five hits while the A's were belting Sammy Gray. Goose Goslin's 20th;, homer cost Leroy a shutout. Detroit pulled up out of the American league cellar and the White Sox were plunked to the bottom as the Tigers nosed out Washington In a free hitting struggle, 6 to 6. The Tigers reached the heights of sixth place when the Boston Red Sox crumbled under Cleveland's pound ing, 11 to 7. and fell back a notch ahead of Chicago. Many Rained Out Rain obliterated all but the battle of the New. York Giants and Chi cago Cubs for second place In the National league and as far as results were concerned that double-header might as well have gone overboard too. The Cubs piled on Clarence Mitchell for five runs In the fourth Inning of the first game and picked up three more to win for Bob Smith, 8 to 4. In the second game, however, BUI Terry hit his second homer of the day, this . time In the ninth inning with the score tied one-one, and he broke Up a pitching tusslo between Ouy Bush and Preddy Fltzslmmons to give the Giants a 2 to 1 victory.
