CARDS-GIANTS IN CRUCIAL SERIES By Les Conklin, INS Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 4. —It the St. Louis (ardinals ran subdue New York In their crucial series starting here tomorrow, many experts will be ready to concede the pennant to the Red Birds, for the Giants have demonstrated quite dearly in the past two weeks that they are the best of the oilier contenders. While the Cardinals were bowlin;; over the Phillies and Braves and getting an even break in Brooklyn, they fattened their batting average to .302, only three points below Pittsburgh. The Giants, meanwhile toon three out of four from Pittsburgh, four out of six from Chicago and two straight from Cincinnati. They clinched second place and stayed within (Pa games of St. Louis by nosing out the Reds yesterday, 7 to 5, while small William S<rdel hurled the Cards to a 5 to 1 win over Boston. Extra base hits by Lindstrom and Hogan have been featuring New York's late rallies. Each hit a homer yesterday as the McGrawmen scored Six runs in the last two innings. The Cubs advanced to third place by outslugging Brooklyn, 8 to 5. — O—- — " — • Golf Tennis Sport Fever Baseball Swimming With two tournaments in progress tonuiruw, golfers on the Decatur Country Club course will have to look twice before they drive and drive where they look.

FINNS SWEEP STEEPLECHASE Amsterdam Stadium, Aug. 4.—(U.R) Finland made a clean sweep of the first three places in the 300-nietefs steeplechase on the seventh day of the Olympic games today when I.mtkola. Paavo Nurmi and Anderson finished one-two-three in that order. The Finns added that smashing triumph to their other proofs of supremacy on the running track despite that Willie Ritola. one of the stats of the team, was not able to keep up the pace and dropped out a lap from the finish. His previous efforts in keeping his country at the top in running had been too much for hint. • Just as has been the case in almost every other track event, the United States had no show at all. The only American runner was W. O. Spencer of the Chicago A. A., and outmatched by the Finns and other stars, he finished next to last. Lukola set a new Olympic record of 9 minutes, 21.8 seconds in winning the steeplechase. The former record was 9:33.6 made by Willie Ritola at Paris in 1924. The steeplechase was just a romp for Loukola who won by fifty yards. Nurmi, who finished second, was ten yards- ahead of Anderson. Olympic Stadium. Amsterdam, Aug 4. — (INS) — America’s four-man relay team of Frank Wykoff. Jimmy Quinn, Charley Borah and Hank Russell, running in that order, won its heat rather impressively In the 400-metre relay race at the Olympic games today. Hungary, finishing second, didn’t force the Americans to their best and suffered further by disqualification after the race, Switzerland being placed second. The Americans, evidently smarting under the series of defeats they have sustained in running races, finished the distance in 41 1-5, almost nipping the Olympic record of 41 seconds flat. o Watching The Scoreboard By UNITED PRESS Yesterday’s hero: Fred Lindstrom. New York Giant third baseman. whose home run in the ninth inning with Fel Ott on second, gave the Giants a 7 to 5 victory over the Cin cinnati Reds. The New York Yankees were able to make only six scattered hits ofT Sam Gray, the Browns winning 8 to 0 and taking the first series from the world’s champions since 1926. This was the third series played by the Yankees on the western trip and the third lost. Their lead in the pennant race, .which had been reduced to four and one-half games, suffered no further reduction, as the Indians defeated the Athetics. O'Rourke led the attack on Hoyt and Thomas, hitting a triple, a double and a single in three times at bat. Connie Mack used 18 players in a vain effort to stop the Cleveland Indians. The tribe scored six runs in the third inning, winning 9 to 5. J. Sewel had a perfect day at bat with four hits. Sherdel's masterful .pitching enabled the Cards to beat the Boston Braves 5 to 1. Five scattered hits was the best the Braves could do. Bottomley and Hafey led the Cards at bit with three hits apiece. The Pittsburgh Pirates had an easy time winning over the Phillies 14 to 5. Home runs by Schulte and Bricketll accounted for seven of the Corsair’s runs. Pie Traynor hit three | angles and two doubles. Both teams | used three pitchers. The Chicago Cubs went into third place by defeating Brooklyn 8 to 5. Del Bissonette obtained four hits and figured in four runs made by the Rboins. The Cubs made seven runs off Elliott and Koupal in the third frame. Gabby Hartnett’s home run tied the score in the third after the Robins. The Cubs made seven runs Although outhit by the Chicago W’hite Sox the Boston Red Sox scored a 3 to 1 win over Tommy Thomas. His wildness proved his undoing, walking five batters. The Senators broke a five game losing streak by defeating the Detroit Tigers 9 to 3. Sam Jones was in fine shape, allowing five hits. “Goose’’ Goslin bit a home run in the first inning. Q Lancaster Coach Goes To Marion High School Austin Smith has resighed his position as coach of athletics at Lancaster high school, Wells county, and accepted a position in the Marion high school, as coach of baseball and trapk and assistant coach in basketball and football. o William Hart, life long resident of Union township, Is seriously 111 at his son-in-law's home east of the city.

BRITISH FILM INDUSTRY SEES I A BOOM AHEAD By J. C. Oestreicher, INS Staff Correspondent London. — The "boom” in British motion pictures, enthusiastically pre * dieted when the Films Quota Bill * I went into effect lust April, has at last started. In older to obtain a world market i) for their films, the chief British prop ducing companies are framing ambitious schemes, some of which may s never reach fruition, bnt which pro--1 vide splendid opportunities for the local movie magnates to sound the ' death-knell of Hollywood. When the quota bill went into * effect, the British producers were emphatic in their declarations that they would not he satisfied merely with obtaining a local market for their films ' by virtue of this legislation, which re- * quires that English exhibiters show a 8 specified number of British pictures 8 yearly with the American, but that ' they intended to launch an assault upon the world market. After U. S. Movies Toward this end, the GaumontBritish corporation, one of the lar- ' gest producing outfits on this side of the water, is taking about the purchase or acquisition of a number of , American movie houses, which will be used exclusively for the presentation I of British films. t Reginald Bromhead, managing di rector of the Gaumont company, is loath to talk about the plan, but in an interview he inferred that the only j way Britain could obtain a mat ket in America is through the purchase or rental of American theatres. His idea is seconded, it is understood, by a number of other large producing organizations here, and it is probable that some steps toward ’ this end will be taken in the near future. Some of the producers, however, are not so anxious to spend money as I Bromhead, and are trusting to Providence that the time will soon come , when British pictures find a ready market in America, in spite of Hollywood’s competition. , One of them, Oswald Mitchell, manager of the Stoll Cinema Producing company, is 'confident that British pictures are so good that they have the world market at their beck and calb “It will not be long," he told International News Service recently, “before the American public becomes . tired of seeing American pictures exclusively. “Then there will be a call for British and other foreign pictures, for new faces, new scenes and new settings will be desired. “I am sure that it will not be many years before the American exhibitors are scrambling for the privilege of showing British films.’’ Producers Optimistic An optimistic declaration, but made in all sincerity. Mitchell, who echoes the sentiment of many of the producers here, believes that England can sit still and wait for the world to come to it. “British pictures will soon be so good”, he declared, “that the whole world will want to see them." In spite of this. American pictures still hold sway here, pack to the doors any theatre at which they are shown, and fade the British product into insignificance by the mere force of numbers. British pictures are shown under the requirements of the quota bill, but it is quite apparent that the exhibitors show only as many English films as they absolutely have to, and then often incorporate them on the same bill with American pictures so that the box office will not suffer. o — — DECATUR JUNIOR BAND ITEMS —o — , Arline Becker, Editor The Junior Band had an out of door rehearsal last evening at Becker’s tourist park. The bahd greatly enjoyed it and so did the audience. The "Boss" treated us to ice-cream and pop, which tasted very good on a hot night. The band members enjoyed it and certainy thank him for it.

Cal. Two nationally known 1 radio.manufacturers have sent representatives to this city to investigate details of the suit brought by Henry Neuebaumer. Irctel owner against Gary and Company seeking to enjoin the firm from use of a radio loudspeaker on the street.Neuebaumer seeks to have the speaker determined a public nuisa nee. Unique in court annals the case will set a national precedent, according to radio men. Legal representatives of at least two companies will attend the court sessions. In a demurrer to the action by Davin F. Bush for Gary and Company, he asserts that the facts are not sufficient to justify action and points out that the complaint made by Neuebaumer does not state whether objections to the playing of the loudspeaker or its position on the street. The complaint says that the radio caused loud, boisterous and excessive noises to come through said loud speaker by singing, talking, music and static” which disturbed Neuebaumer and occupants of his place. Most of his roomers are railroad men who sleep during the day. Teffet.—(U.R) —An effort is being made here to raise $5,000 for the establishment of a flying school. Howard Oggleby, who lias 250 hours of solo flying to his credit, would be the instructor. It is planned to locate the school near Rensselaer on the Kankakee river.
