♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD * ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ + <• + ♦ + + ♦ + + + Yesterday's Hero — Paul Waner, young Pittsburgh outfielder, who hit in his 19th conaecutive game as the Pirates defeated Boston 6-0. Through the victory the Pirates managed to maintain a slim markin over the second place Chicago (,'ubs. The Chicago Cubs sot up a new 1927 winning streak by taking their 12th straight victory, this one from Philadelphia 7-2. The previous winn'ng streak was held by the Pirates who won 11 straight games. The Cincinnati Reds had little difficulty in defeating Brooklyn 10-1. Luque kept the Robin hits well scattered. The New York Giants stopped their s x game slide down hill by beating the St. Txntis Cardinals 10-5. It was a big day fnr Rogers Hornsby who hit safely four times in four times at hat. Home runs by Ruth and Gehrig and the presence of Col. Charles L'ndbergh at Yankee Stadium made the S-l victory of the Yanks over the St. Louis Browns a gala event. Bill Barrett and Bill Hunnefield hit home runs to feature the 4-0 blanking of the Philadelphia Athletics by the Chicago White Sox. With Ira Flagstead back in the lineup, the Boston Red Sox braced and won a slugging match from the Ceveland Indians 11-10. Flagstea l got three hits and scored two runs. Lil Stoner was touched for only four hits as the Detoit Tiges slapped down the Washington Senators 0-1. o VALUE OF FARM LAND DISCUSSED AT HEARING HERE trnvTtMT.n from page one> some cases, the land sold for less han it would have sold had it not been for the mortgage. It was the general opinion of the farmers and land owners present, as well as Mr. Shaughniss. that farm land and vacant lots in cities are assessed too high at present, while the improvements on the farm land and ci y 'ots are assessed too low. making the values out of proportion in t tany cases. Farm land with no or little improvements and vacant city and town lots sell for much less than their appraisements, while farms with good improvements and city and town lots with good buildings on them usually sell for more than their appraised value. A law passed sit the last session of the state legislature gives the sta'e tax board power to make blanket adjustments of the appraisements on real estate. Mr. Shaughniss will submit the information which he obtained here today to the state tax board and that body will decide whether or not the appraisement on real estate in Adams county should be increased, decreased or left as they are at present. o—Illinois Athletic Commission Exonerated Springfield, 111.. June 17.—(UP)— The Illinois athletic commission today was exonerated of any charges of sanctioning improper boxing or wrestling contes's by a committee from the Illinois legislature. The committee has heard evidence for several days, including testimony of prominent wrestlers and boxing promoters. Numerous wrestlers and managers of wrestlers appeared before the commission and charged that “framed" wrestling matches had been held in •the s ate, and told of an alleged “wrestling trust.” It was pointed out, however, that all of those contests were held before creation of the athletic commission. Chamberlin And Levine Reunited With Wives Bremen, June 17—(United Press) Carence D. Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine met their wives on the deck of the North German Lloyd liner Berlin shortly after 1 a. m., today. Only a couple of deckhands were about at the time, and they tactfully turned away, allowing the fliers to greet their wives privately. The fliers, by tiptoeing from their cabins on the steamer Bremen, another steamer of the North German Lloyd line, eluded newspaper correspondents and photographers who also bad cabins aboard the Bremen and had hoped to be present for the reunion. Tito moan of the Berlin's horn had awakened the fliers.

The motor had been running so.- several minutes, but no one thought the flier was ready to start. But Lindbergh crawfled into the cabin, listened a moment to the perfect hum of the motor, and “opened her up wide.” The plane shot out onto the field, tax ed a hundred feet end rose sharply into the air. In little more than a minute it was out of sight. Just before lhe start Lindbergh said he expected to arrive in St. Lou's at 4.30 p. m., central standard time. Just before the start a reporter asked Lindbergh, “Will you do any stunts over New York?” “Certainly not.” he said indignantly. “Th's plane isn’t built for stunt flying.” Wh'ch. considering the number of surprising feats he did over Mitchel and Roosevelt fields yesterday in the Sp r't of St. Louis, took the newspaperman somewhat by surprise. " His parting word to New York was that he had enjoyed his “great visit” and deeply appreciated the honors he had been given. At one of the last functions attended by him last night Lindb >rgh receiv ed the Raymond Orteig prize of $25,000 for being the first to fly from New York to Paris. Orteig handed the flier an engraved check for the amount. o Storms Delay Byrd’s Flight To Europe New York June 17 — (UP) — Two storms in mid Atlantic today made it virtually certain that the Byrd nonstop flight from New York to Europe could not start before Sunday or Monday.

Byrd was prepared to start In his tii-motored monoplane as soon as weather conditions permitted.
