GREAT SHIRES TOWASHINGTON Chicago, June 17—<U.R) —C. Arthur Shires. Chicago White Sox first baseman, went to the Washington Senators today in a trade for Pitcher Garland Braxton, a southpaw, and Catcher Bennett Tate, a heavy hitter of the Senat-, ors. Managers Walter Johnson of the Senators, and Donie Bush of the White Sox. both expressed pleasure with the deal. Shires, i sensing an opportunity to get in the world series, was most elated of all. Shires declared he would play “heads up” baseball for Walter Johnson, and took a parting shot at the White Sox management, intimating that he hadn't been doing, his best because he lost out in his' salary dispute with the Sox this spring. With Bud Clancy covering first base in great style, the White Sox felt no greet loss at having to part with Shires, who has been a source of trouble since he came up from Waco, Tex., in 1928 with a great wad of chewing" tobacco in his cheek, and started parading his “ego" around Comfekey Park. Tate is expected to bring the Sox the hitting they need from their catcher while Braxton it is hoped will steady the Comiskey men's pitching staff. I From the time Lena Blackburue banished Shires from one game for clowning until Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain bent his brows in a ferocious scowl and told Arthur to choose between boxing and baseball, the first baseman has been in and out of hot water with the Sox. The Landis edict, however, diverted him to more serious wavs, and the youngster — he is only 23 —has been well behaved this season.

o Airshin Is Attraction At Lake St. Marys, 0.; Lake St, Marys, 0., June 17.—! The famous Goodyear “Blimp" The Puritan which has practically covered the entire United States and has become almost as famous »hroueh it= exploits in the air as the Graf Zeppelin, will be a free attraction at Gordon State Park on Sunday. Jnue- 22. Arrangements between The Goodyear Company, ; Gordon State Park, on Lake St. ( Marys. 0.. have been completed whereby the monster ship of the air will be at the Park all day Sunday. The “Blimp” will leave Akjon at 7 a. m. and proceed directly to 1 Gordon State Park where it is due to arrive about 9 o'clock with fav-l orable weather conditions. Since, wind and weather does not affect! this lighter than air craft nothing can prevent its positive appearance. The Goodyear Company has consented to carry a few passengers during the day, however the number will necesarilv be limited. 1 Those des'ring the thrill pf a blimp ride can make reservation by calling. writing or phone to Gordon State Park. Lake St. Marys. Ohio. I It is claimed that the sensation: of riding in a lighter than air ship such as The Puritan is entirely dis- ( ferent from airplane riding. Seekers after new thrills have a treat in store for them. The engineer from The Goodyear> Company has just completed a survey of the territory surrounding the patk and selected a landing field immediately adjacent to the park on the lot now used for parking. Ample parking space is to be i had however, there being accommodations for more than 7000 automobiles within two thousand feet of the gates. o Gat the Haan —T rade at Home,

Washington scored eight runs in the last three innings to defeat St. Louis, 9 to 7, and move into a tie with Cleveland for second place. Cleveland was rained out. Ted Lyons’ wild pitch with the bases filled in the seventh enabled Boston to break a 2 to 2 tie and Oliver’s double drove in two more runs to give the Red Sox a 6 to 3 decision over Chicago. Brooklyn held its 3(£ game lead in the National League, defeating St. Louis 5 to 3. i Charley Grimm's home run with the bases filled in the ninth neutralized five Giants homers and the Chicago Cubs beat New York, 8 to 5. Philadelphia pounded out 20 hits to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 18 to 14. Wally Berger’s 18th home run of the season saved the Boston Braves from a shutout, as the Cincinnati Beds pounded Grimes and Cunningham for an 11 to 1 victory. Yestenfty’s hero: Charley Grimm of the Cul>s, who hit a homer with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to give Ch'cago an 8 to 5 victory over the New York Giants.

Just how great the increased ’ duties are is a subject of an in- ’ tense dispute as the provisions of Ith bill itself.

Smoot's figures have inI dicated it would be six per cent, j'whil- d mocrats and independent republican opponents of the bill ' say It will reach 18 or 2b per cent. Smoot estimated its Increased cost would amount to about $107,000,000 a year on the basis of 1928 imports, while the <1 mocrats con- , t nd the cost will be nearer a bil- . lion dollars. J What effect the increases will i have on the prices of foodstuffs . and clothing also is a matter of dej bate.
