CUBS-DODGERS MEET IN EAST New York. July 16 — (U.R)-The first of a s< rlos of crucial mid-Maa-on battles among the National lea-1 gue leaders opened today with the; pace-setting Brooklyn Robins pitted against the second-place Chicago Cubs in a doubleheader at»Ebbets Held. The Robins and Cubs will play flvd gum< s in four days In Brooklyn, and then the Cubs will move to the Polo grounds for another series of five games In four days against the third-place New York (Hants, opening Sunday. This stretch of then games in 8 <lays against their two leading rivals threatens to make or brtak the Cubs as seriouu pennant contenders. Brooklyn held a 3-game lead today over Chicago, with the Cubs three- game ahead of the Giants. The St. Louis Cardinals, in fourth place, were one game behind the Giants, and seven games back of Brooklyn. At this stage of the race Brooklyn seems better equipped than ether the Cubs or Giants for a fight to the finish. The Robins' pitching staff, with Vance, Elliott, Clark and Phelps, bearing the burden, seems the most dependable mound corps of the three contenders. Infield worries have retarded the Cubs since they took to the road, and six defeats in their last eight games against second division clubs illustrate the plight of the National league champions. Little hope is held tor the return of Rogers Hornsby, slowly recoT-j ering from his ankle injury, to the Cubs' lineup until well into Aug , ust. The Giants' pitching staff has , been reduced almost to a whisper by rival sluggers during the past few days, without a dependable starter on the staff. Instead of .orc.ng their way into the thick of tlie pennant race, the Giants are battling to hold their place against ; the Cardinals. Following today’s game against Cincinnati, the Giants will open a frgame series in four days against the Cards at the Polo grounds tomorrow. When the Cubs move to the Polo grounds, the Cardinals will go to Ebbets field to battle the Robins in another 5-game in four- \ day series. Brief estimates of the four leaders at tltis stage follow: Brook- I lyn—better pitching and more ;

TRAINING ENDS FOR FIGHTERS I New York, July 16- (U.R) —Al Singer, New York's current aspirant to the lightweight throne has completed training for his 15-roitml bout against lightweight champion Sammy Mundell at Yankee stadium tomorrow night, but planned to take a light workout at Stillman's gymnasium today to satisfy n pet superstition. Singer never has lost a bout after training at Stillman's and returned to New York from his training camp at Delaware Waler Gap, Pa., a day early to hold his final workout there. Mandell remained nt. Gits Wilson's camp in Orangeburg, N. Y.. and was scheduled for a light gymnastic drill today. He will leave camp tonight and spend the final hours before the fight at the home of friends in New York. Botli boxers showed impressively in their final hard drills yesterday. Singer boxed several rounds and appeared primed to go 15 rounds at a fast clip. He weighed 134>4 pounds after the workout and has no weight making worries. I Mandell limited ids work to 18 . rounds of floor exercises, bag punching, rope skipping and : working on the pulleys. He trainled vigorously and impressed obIservots witli his wind, apparent i strength and readiness for battle. I Tlie Mandell camp continued to make a secret of Sammy's weight I but announced he was la-low tlie I stipulated 135 poun'ds. Sammy was four pounds over weight less than 24 pounds previously and it is believed certain that lie will be forced to weaken himself by spending several hours in the steam room and on the rubbing table before stepping on tlie scales for the official weighing in. Despite, or possibly because of rumors that the fight is “in the bag" for Singer, the fans finally are beginning to show interest after weeks of apathy and Vicepresident Frank Bruen of Madison Square Garden announced the advance sale has reached $125,000. Garden officials now believe the show will gross $250,000. Reports that Mandell is selling I his title to the New York chal- ' longer have been scouted but ' little Mandell money has made its appearance and there is no indication of extensive betting. Tlie [“wise money" is- supposed to be tiding on Singer. On his record and ability, unless he has gone back more than 50 per cent since his fights wjth Jimmy McLarnin and Tony Canzoneri, Mandell should be a strong favorite to defeat the comparative--1 ly inexperienced Kinger who never

Farm labor supply exceeds the demand, and wages are 11 per cent lower than a year ago, the report, set out. Over the United States, the corn crop was expected to be larger than last year, but the wheat crop will be about the same as it was a year ago, it was announced. The report indicated oats and barley would yield higher production. Potatoes were predicted to be higher in production, but sweet potatoes lower. Apples and peaches will have short crops, grapes about average, and pears above average, it was said. —o — Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Struck, Mr. .md Mis.

SPEED BOftTS MENACE LAKES No Laws Lieber Says To Balt Noise-Making On Lakes Indianapolis, July 16 — (UP) Indiana luke resorts must provide their own relief from the mdse ami menace of high powered speed boats if any relief is to be forth■omlng this summer, Ri -hard Lieber director of the department oi conservation, said today. Lieber has studied the situation he said, as a result of numerous complaints from /persons owning •ottages on tlie numerous lakes in the northern pint of the state. "Although tlie boats are a nuisance as well as a danger," he said, “there are no laws at present concerning tlie situation and no one o enforce them if there were." He suggested that legislation lie enacted at the next session of the legislature governing the use of speed boats and that tlie department be empowered to enforce them. “The boats sputter and chug a round the lakes at all hours of the day. It is almost impossible to carry on a conversation even inside cabins. Sleep in the early morning hours is virtually impossible as that is :he time the speed enthusiasts choose to tear across the lakes. The baols are dangerous as well as a nuisance,” Lieber said. “It is not safe for children to play in the water or to go boating. Tlie speed boats whiz along the shores at a perilous rate of speed.’ When asked it the department could not stop the nuisance on the ground that the noise of the boats killed young fish in wholesale lots. I.ieber said his department was without sufficient enforcement officers. He compared the churning of a motor boat through a spawning ground to tlie roaring of a highpowered airplane through a maternity hospital. Lieber suggested that laws should compel motor boats to be equipped with mufflers and that spawning grounds in the lakes should be closed to boating. He also suggested that motor boats be allowed on the akes at only certain hours of the day. COUNCIL WILL TAKE ACTION FOR WATCHMAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ment cracking in several places.

The signal i’ght causes static in the neighborhood and radio reception is interferred with.

That he was only partially successful in this endeavor was indicated by a report issued recently in which the treasiry scored lack of cooperation in many states. “The department will put forth a special effort to confer with authorities of each state, or at east those who have enforcement ■tatutes of their own, relative to ; the part the states may play in the performance of the difficult task | of prohibition enforcement," Mitchell said. The conferences probably will be instituted late this summer or 1 early in the fall after the gathering in Washington of the district prohibition administrators who ar being summoned here by Woodcock for a staff meeting. o SAYS HOOVER WILL WIN OUT CONTINUEd"fROM PAGE ONE) tion under the waters bill, enactment of the tariff law, the unemployment census, acceleration of public building, mid-west waterway appropriations, creation of the ft'vleraj farm board, anid restriction of “federal expenditures to the same net sum that Mr. Coolidge achieved under his admirable policy of economy.” The crowning achievement, she declared, was the reorganization of prohibition enforcement under the attorney general. “We have heard much of the argument that prohibition cannot be enforced,” she continued. “I never have yielded to that view, although I confess my faith has been stretched thin on some occasions. “It Is enough to say that I believe in the same leadership of the president, who, without bom-
