CARDINALS ARE OUT IN FRONT N»»w York. Juno IS —(<U.R>) —The rush of the St. Ixmis Cardinals to the top of the National league, where today finds them enjoying It tidy little throe-game lead, has been the outstanding feature of the pennant race so far this month. Hustling, winning baseball got the Cardinals out In front just when the fight for the flag was hottest. Against strenuous opposition, they have rolled tip a winning streak of eight censett’ttive games and have .Jess.Haines anil Flint Rhem ready to fire at the hapless Cincinnati Reds, whom they supplanted as league leaders last week. • Winning extra inning games, and otheis by run margins, the St. Louis club has had to battle hard for its advantage evety base of the way to the top. Yesterday they opened up nt Cincinnati where they left off in the east, and took a five inning game from the Reds, who were held nicely in check by “Young" Grover Cleveland Alexander. Then there is Walter Hoettger, rookie right fielder from Houston, who won himself a regular berth by some of the season's hardest and most consistent hitting. Roettger is one of the real finds of the year. Frankie Frisch is playing some of the brand of ball that made St. Louis forget about Rogers Hornsby, and Jim Bottomley has become a positive menace as a home run hitter. But if there must be found one paramount reason for the rise of the Cardinals this spring, that, reason is ‘ Rabbit" Maranville. The 35 year old shortstop is putting on a form reversal which gives the lie indeed to the maxim: • “They never come back." For Maranville has come back with a vengeance. The “rabbit” used to make his vest pocket, catches on the worlds (hampion Boston Braves, “miraole man" of 14 years ago. He has ambitions to play in a world series this year. Since his days with the Braves under George Stallings, Maranville has been shunted to the Pirates, the Robins, the Cubs and dropped to the' minors. For misbehavior, "Rabbit", can give Alexander cards and spades and beat. “Old Pete" forty ways from sobriety. They say Maranville has reformed. That is pretty much his own business. What is important is that he is play-! ing such l>aseball as St. Louis so ■ badly needed, baseball which has 1 whipped those around him into a frenzy of winning effort. ——o THE BIG FIVE G AB R HHR Pct Hornsby.

SEVEN WILL ENTER C. M. T. C. (CONTINUED FHOlt PAGE ON El from Col. A. J. Dougherty, chief of staff of the 84th division, for his untiring effoit in connection with the enrollment. "Through the effort of Mr. Striker his county has made a more than creditable showing in the procurement." Mr McNutt said. “It was our our desire when the enrollment began not only to exceed the quota but also to have in attendance at the camps youths from every county in the state. In that aim, we have failed in but five counties, Jasper, Johnson. Ohio, Owen and Whitley. I do not know why they did not choose to be represented. 1 can say in this regard only that the other counties of the state have done their duty.” Col. Dougherty's praise of Mr t McNutt's cooperation included thanks also the American Legion posts of the state, one of the principal factors in the success of the campaign. Mr. McNutt is national executive committeeman from Indiana in the legion. He urged youths who have been accepted for the -camp and who find they cannot attend, to notify corps area headquarters at Fort Hayes, 0.. in order that the alternates may attend. o Preserving Mushrooms Mushrooms may be preserved entire I by drying them in the sun or in an ! oven.

Watching The Scoreboard —(U.R) - Yesterday's hero: Dazzy Vapce, Brooklyn fast ball pitcher, who held the Chicago Cubs to three hits and fanned fifteen men—one short of tying the major league record —as the Robins won, 4 to 0. Burleigh Grimes, who was traded to the Pirates for Vic Aldridge before the season opened, duplicated Aldridge’s feat of Friday by beating the Giants, 6 to 0. The St. Louis Cardinals won their

eighth straight game by defeating the slipping Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 2. The home run twins — Ruth and Gehrig—went into action as the New York Yankees beat the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 2. It was No. 25 for Babe and No. 16 for Lou. The Philadelphia Athletics made it three out of four from the Cleveland Indians by winning, 8 to 7. . Sad Sam Jones held the Detroit Tigers to three hits as the Washington Senators gathered sixteen off four pitchers, the latter winning, 12 to 0. No other games were played.

Although rain hampered his play, Armour, the defending! champion, went around the difficult! Olympia Fields course, where the t; urnament will be played, in 72. displaying the same brilliant work with the lions which won hinZthe mown last I yeai. Bobby Jones, the rt nowed Atlantan, I also worked out, but could do no better than a 76. “Wild Bill” Mehlhorn's ] best practice caid was a 74 and Jack. Daray's a 75.
