Moose Junior Baseball Team

LEGION ENTRY LOSES 13-12 IN GREAT GAME Feasel Pitches Team To Victory; Final Game Wednesday After playing possum for ■ overal innings, Buck Baxter's Moose junior basebal 1 team came to life in the final inning of the second elimination '•ame and nosed out Ferd O’Brien’s Legion team by a score if 12-13. The Moose team will play the Rotary team Wednesday night to determine which Decatur team will go to the district tournament at Alexandria next Saturday. The Munday night game drew a record crowd, and those who attended saw some of the most spectacular baseball of the season. Manager Baxter chose to start Buff nlmrger on the mound for the Moose and Strickler b< hind the plate. Buffie was wild and after hitting the tlrst batter he passed five Legion batters. After several runs, without a single hit had been tallied Marlon Feasel was s nt to the mound and he managed to retire the Legion side. With three innings played the Legion had a lead of 11-4 and | while the Legion boys were unable to find Feasel for hits they were taking advantage of every break in the game and getting bases and scores. Feasel pitched a good game and held the ball in the infield. Some good fielding by Fisher. Moose shortstop, helped keep the trailers within striking distance. In the closing half of (he sixth inning the Moose batters rallied mid brought their total to 11, while the Legion had managed to get 12 runs. In the final inning the O'Brienmen failed to score and the Moose came to bat in the last half nt the last inning trailing by one point. Ritter, who started in the mound for the Legion and who pitched a eat game was sent to third base •nd Louie Hendricks was sent to the mound. Baumgartner caught the entire game for the Legion.

ecreed. ...a New Colorful, Patterned Roof It’s the final word of leading architects! Modern roofs must be colorfully correct. That’s why famous artists selected the tones of the nationally known Speedlay Shingle. The Speedlay is a four-colors-in-one shingle, beautifully blended, Its broad face is marked in five units, varying in size. Thus, the final roof resembles careful hand hewing. It effectively resists weathering and fire—gives thorough insulation. Cost? You’ll be amazed at the low cost of Specdlays. Phone or see us for all the facts.

Both teams were buttling hard for the right to pluy the Rotary team In the finals Wednesday night. Hendricks pitched some good ‘ bustdiall. but when the crucial time came he lacked the necessary sup- ■ port. The Moose team got a run- ■ ner to second base and he was » flapped between second and third. Finally, us he approached second i base, (idle. Legion shortstop, threw > th' ball to Ritter at third and Ritter run toward the base runner, who In turn collided with Odle. Ritter tagged the runner with the ball but Umpire Cochran awarded f th" runner a base because Odle 4 blocked him. 1 There was no question about the f decision in the officials rules. One' I section states clearly that if a field- ■ er blocks a base runner he is en- ’ Idled to a base. Os course there I was some confusion at the time ■ because many of the fans were not I familiar wtlh the rule. ‘ Anyway the Baxtermen came to - life and smacked in the winning run. Fisher, Feasel and Strickler, i did some good playing for the Moose while Dale Myers and Dick Macklin helped in the butting end of the offense. For the Legion, Keller, first baseman was the outstanding infielder. He played the primer sack errorlessly and accounted for several runs. Both Hendricks and Ritter did some good work on the mound and Baumgartner backed the two pitchers up in good style. Wednesday night at 6 o'clock Pat Coffee's Rotary team will tackle i | the Moose Diamondeers in the fin- . als of the elimination tourney. The , game will be a dandy and hundreds . of fans are expected to witness the tilt. A free will offering will be , taken during the contest to defray expenses -of the winners to Alex- , andria to the district tourney. , At last night's game Frank Pet- , erson umpired home plate; Beal | worked first and second and Coch- | ran workrd second and third. Both the Moose and Rotary teams have a large following of j radical fans, and the game prom- ; ises to be the highlight of Deca- | tin's junior baseball. Baxter Indi- | cated today that he would start < Feasel and Strickler and Pat s Coffee stated that in all probabil- > ities Ogg would start on the mound , for the Rotary team and Omlor would catch. t Both finalists will practice to- , night In preparation for the Wed- ; nesday game. | o Fined for Broken Rope Pueblo, Colo., —(UP) — It cost 1 John Rebol S3O because he failed 1 to hang himself.

MANDELL MAY RETAIN TITLE I i New York, July 15. — (U.R) Although reports that 'l nursday's 15I round world lightweight championship bout is "in the bug" for Al S'nger have made the New York chall nger an 8 5 betting fuvorite, boxing circles are almost unanimous In picking champion Sammy Mandell to retain his title. Singer’s record shows little to qualify him as a title contender and only the influence of the powerful clique financially interested in his career enabled him to get the Mandell bout without first proving his right by meeting th“ two leading contenders. Jack (Kid) Berg and Tony Canzoneri. Investigation showed no evidence of dishonesty in connection with the bout and sport writers believe I the "wise money" favors Singer | solely because of the gamblers' I conviction that the clique controlling the New Yorker take no chances in matching their protege. Singer has been carefully “built up" by tn eting second rate opponents and has won numerous queer appearing victories. Rumors of a fake were prevalent previous to Singer's last fight, when he was made a 10-1 betting favorite to defeat Ignacio Fernandez, who had knocked him out a year previously. Boxing commissioner James Farley visited Fernandez to warn the Filipino of the consequ'nces of "throwing" a fight and the gamblers who bet Singer would win by a knockout in the first round lost their money. Singer won every round but failed to show championship form. He had little trouble in hitting the clumsy Fernandez but his hardest punches had little ifleet and he took considerable punishment himself. Mandell has withstood the heaviest punches of Jimmy McLarnin. acknowledged peer of present, day punchers, for 15 rounds and is a master boxer. He is reputed to be slipping, but if he is one-half as good as he was when he fought McLarnin he should give the inexperienced Singer a bad beating. Both fighters completed their training yesterday with impressive workouts and will indulge in only light gymnasium work today and tomorrow. Mandell removed all worries about his inability to make the lightweight limit by weighing n at 135 pounds after yesterday's boxing session and said he would be strong at the weight. Sammy is indignant at rumors hat he is selling his title and said he had $50,000 to bit that he would win. The Rockford Italian realizes he could make more by throwing the fight than he can earn from the title in several years of hard work but takes pride in his charnponship and his clean record for honesty and sportsmanship. * BASEBALL BRIEFS * • » Eastern American league clubs are encountering the unexpectedly stiff competition during their current invasion of the west and, although all four of the western clubs are definitely out of the pennant ■ace, it is apparent that they will have considerable to say about the final disposition of the flag. Detroit's fifth place Tigers have upset the Washington Senators in three of four starts, the defeats depriving the Senators of first place, while the luckless Chicago White Sox have taken two out of five from the Yankees.

The Philadelphia Athletics are the only eastern club which has met with the expecttd success in the west. Philadelphia had trouble beating St. Louis yesterday but nosed out a 9-7 victory after 11 innings. The B owns came from behind to tie the score in the eighth inning and again in the tentli but were stopped by Lefty Grove in the 11th. Geoige Uhle and Dale Alexander started in Detroit's 8-4 triumph over Washington. Uhle lield the Senators to 8 scattered hits while Alexander had a perfect day at bat with a double and three singles. Wesley Ferrell bested Milt Gaston in a hurling duel, turning in his 13th victory of the season to enable Cleveland to defeat Boston, 3-3. Three Yankee pitchers were unable to stop the Chicago White Sox in the first game of a doubleheader, New York losing 10-9, but Charley Ruffing evened the count by winning the second, 7-2. Only one National league game was played yesterday, Brooklyn defeating Pittsburgh, 12-8. The victory gave the Robins three full games lead over the second place Chicago Cubs. Phoenix, Arlz..°— (UP)— Another mystery has come out of the Arizona desert to baffle science. This latest mystery involves “Alkali Al,” a young 10-inch alligator found near an irrigation ditch in the desert.

COMMUNISTS' ACADEMY BOOK ■ IS CRITICIZED I , “Counter Revolutionary” i Label Tacked on Brovkin Book in Moscow • By Eugene Lyons ■ (United Press S.aff (’orrespondent) 1 Moscow, July 16 — (UP) — The Communist Academy itself has published a book which has just beta publicly characterized as "counterrevolutionary." Dealing with the collective farm movement, this publication, written by T. M. Brovkin, makes the government farms of Czars Alexander 1 and Nicholas I worked with slave labor, the historical ancestors of the present State farming undertakings. More than that, it declares that the early Soviet experiments iu this direction were approximately the ante type as those under Czarist serfdom. The comparison, made by the enemies of the Soviet regime, is rather absurd. Anyone familiar with the present collective farms can cite a score of inferences for every similarity between the old Sta’e farms and the present ones. What is extraordinary is that the inti-Soviet parallel should be drawn by a Communist in a book put out by the Communist Academy. Indeed, the book was in circulation for five months before the offensive references were discovered and exposed in the Moscow press. The gist of Brovkin’s mistake—one that is likely to cost him and a good many of those connected with the Comnunist Academy a great deal —is in the following succinct passage: I "At he time of Alexander'*, and Nicholas I” he wrote on page eight of his book, “the children of soldiers were taken from their parents by the government and "n iLionalized." Some of them, together with State serfs, were organized in to so-called military settlements something like the communes of 1918 on the basis of large farms and slave labor.” The press is especially indignant because the book, before being released to the public, had been read and endorsed by a long list of Communist economists and government officials. It that list, much to the discomfiture of the people involved, some of them prominent After this it is likely that experts will read books more carefully be,ore endorsing their contents. o NYE QUESTIONS PRIMARY AIDES OF McCORMICK (CONTINUEd'fROM CAGE ONE) “down state" advertising. “To state the case accurately, when the Deneen organization ended my salary stopped, so it wasn’t necessary for me to resign."

ACADEMY BOOK IS CRITICIZED

Smith described his research work: “Every day I take up my cross; I read the congressional record; I revel in the thrilling tariff debates, delve into soy bean statistics —.” Senator Nye interrupted him and when Smith treated other questions with mock seriousness, the senator became impatient. The publicity man suggested that the Rev. Elmer Williams editor of “Lightning, ’’ be called as a witness to tell of “scurrilous attacks upon Mrs. McCormick in his paper.” James D. Snyder, Benton, 111., political secretary of Mrs. McCormick, detailed for Senator Nye the manner in wlr'ch he had endeavored to build up a political organization for her. Senator Nye was set off from others at the hearing today by striped white flannel trouses and a blue coat. Mrs. McCormick, attired in a dark blue ensemble, sat near the counsel table, but made no effort to exercise the privilege of crossexamination extended her yesterday by Senator Nye. At times she laughed at the answers of witnesses, most of whom had been closely associated with her in her campaign. o Historic Ha’l a Prison Independence hull at Phlladel phla was on severs ! occasions used as a prison In Revolutionary' times by the British troops, captured American officers being detained there.

“HOBO NEWS" TO I LIST ROUTES OF ' EASIEST LIFE Tramps’ Handbook Soon Will Be Available to Big Circulation Birmingham. Eng., July 15 (UP) I The next issue off me “Hobo News” soon will be issued. .

Neither will the unemployment figures. Boule, alter all, has his public to I please and he is certain it isn't in- ■ terested in stocks or work. In the paper, however, will be included : What towns to avoid. Towns where police are lenient. Homes guarded by fierce dogs. Hornet where “handouts” are freely given. Harsh magistrates and bail jails. All this. Boule insists, is of vital importance to his circulation. Although he has a college education and once occupied a comfortable position, this strange editor now is a hobo ami argues he knows the pulse of his readers. "In the olden days,” ne said, in explaining how the "Hobo News” was horn, “tramps used to rely for their information on signs placed on gate stoops and at the entrances to towns by men who had gone before them. “That was unsatisfactory, for often these signs would be rubbed out, and I was constantly getting complaints from men who had struck bad patches in consequence. “As I went about, I used to gather nformation of all kinds and it ■truck me that it would be a good idea to pass it on in some way."

It said Investigators I had learned that Harry Read, American city editor, was the min spoken of by Brundidge as being arrested In Cuba with Alfonse “Scarface Al" Capone, notorious Chicago gang leader. The Dally News and HeraldExam ner both today named Ted Newberry as leader in a recent loop attack upon Jack Zuta, just after Zuta’s arrest for questioning in connection with the Lingle murder. T* lio rxonnrc’ noM Vou'liavco

The papers said Newberry had been made to "walk the plank" by the Moran-Aeillo-Zuta forces and had sought revenge upon Zuta. A street car motorman was killed and another man wounded during the loop battle, one of the most sensational in the city's history. The Tribune this morning said Harry Read, city editor of the American, Hearst's afternoon Chicago paper, was one of the unnamed men whom Brundidge had written about. The Tribune said Read had )>een a guest of Alfonse ‘Scarface Al" Capone at the gang leader's Florida estate and had been arrested with Capone in Havana. DEFENSE TAKES WITNESS STAND

The French Minister of Colonies has decided upon the recommendation of a committee to install a “volcanometre" in the crater itself, the thermostat attachment of which will warn of approaching danger months betore the erruption actually occurs. The committee of famous volcanologists which, despite the fact that Pele has not been a menace for years began its studies two years ago attacked the problem from a basis of the known facts concerning ava formation It is known, for example, that during periods of iner--tiani volcanic peaks accumulate lava from within anil below the actnil craters, and that as this accumulates grows the heat within lends the mass temperature up, ,'orming gases which eventually exolode and force the molten lava rom the crater. Thus it was thought by the comnittee that If this heat, as well as other developments might be observed and checked continuously, he mountain itself would give sufficient warning to permit the inhabitants to remove themselves from the old lava paths and seek refuge. Since the sum involved 2,500.000 'ran-s—is small enough to be furnished from the Minister of Interior budget it will not be necessary for he Chamber of Deputies to pass on he merits of the plan, and it is the ■nteiition of the Ministry to install the "volcanometre'' immediately, together with one or two technical ob servers.
