Pirate's Win Streak Fails
To Cut Margin Of Cardinals
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Aug. 23. (U.R) Frankie Frisch, manager of the
Pittsburgh Pirates and a guy who has been in baseball for quite
a few seasons, must be wondering today just what a ball club
has to do to win a National league pennant in this war year.

closer than they were when they
started this phenomenal brand
of ball on Aug. 6.
Last night, for Instance, the
Pirates won their sixth consecu
tive game by beating the Brook
lyn Dodgers, 7-5. But the Cardi
nals won two from the Boston
Braves with a net loss of one
half game to the Bucs In their
desperate drive to close the wide
gap between themselves and St.
Louis.
Frisch evidently has Instilled
some of his own fighting spirit
into the Bucs, for on paper the
club gives no evidence of the
strength which has carried It to
17 triumphs In its last 18 games.
According to the latest official
averages, the Pirates were fifth
In team batting and sixth in
fielding. Their top pitcher,
Truett (Rip) Sewell, from a

Roosevelt's TouP
Too Expensive, Is
Rep. Shafer's View
Washington, Aug. 23. (U.PJ
Rep. Paul Shafer, R., Mich., said
today he planned to seek a con
gressional investigation of Presi

such an inquiry voluntarily.
He estimated the cost of tak
ing Mr. Roosevelt to Hawaii and
then to the Aleutians at $20,000,
000. While on the five week
trip, Shafer said, the president
was protected by a task force of
combat vessels including battle-
snips, grrcrart carriers Ini BtnV
dreds of planes.
"I think a $20,000,000 suntan
is a little too expensive even for
a nation with a national debt
approaching $300,000,000," sha.
