The metropolitan dis- 1 trict’s other two clubs—the Yankees and the Giants—still are wPhin .striking distance of the lead in their respective leagues but both clubs are handicapped by uncertain pitchers. Brooklyn continues to hold a % game lead in the National league but the Robins face a difficult assignment in holding the advantage when they embark on a month's road tour while their rivals, the Chicago Cubs, play 32 consecutive games at home. Both the leaders won their games yesteiday, Brooklyn defeating Cincinnati, 7 to 2, and Chicago whipped Philadelphia 9 to 5. Clarence Mitchell's pitching and Bill Terryss slugging gave the Nev; York Giants a 3 to 1 triumph over Pittsburgh. The Boston Braves advanced from sixth to fifth place, only two games out of tlrst division, by defeating St. Louis, 5 to 4. Philadelphia increased its American league lead to six full games, defeating Cleveland, 14 to 1, while Washington was dropping a 6 to 5 decision to Chicago. Lefty Grove held the Indians to 6 scattered hits while his mates found three Cleveland twlrlers for 12 safeties, including homers by Bishop, Simmons and Miller. Chicago came from behind to defeat Washington, scoring five runs tn the final three Innings. A walk to Mulleavy and Reynolds’ double produced the winning run after two were out in the ninth. Detroit pounded Ed Wells for 5 runs in the first inning, but had little success with the offerings of Henry Johnson and lost a 14 to

7 decision to the New York Yan keen. Goose Goslin's slugging gave St. Louis a 6 to 3 victory over Boston The foimer Washington outfielder drov • in five runs with n double, home run and single and scored the Browns' only other run him self.

LIONS DEFEAT LEGION NINE The Lions and Legion junior baseball teams staged a real battle I at South Ward diamond Friday evening and gave the fans a lot of thrills during nine ninnings of baseball. The Lions won the game after two extra innings, 8-7, and only after Harmon for the winners and Tink Ritter for the losers had engaged in a pitchers' duel through the entire game. Schultz, receiving end of the Lions battery played his best game of the season and his peg to first and second base was almost perfect all during the game. Baumgartner, Legion catcher also was strength for the losing battery and he halted several steals by gooil pegging. Both batteries went the entire route. When the game officially ended at the close of the seventh inning the count was tied at 7-7. In tlie eighth inning .neither team scored and in the ninth the Lions scored the winning tally. Harmon tanned 14 Legion batters and accounted tor a home run during the tilt. Ritter fanned 8 opponents and made a safe hit for ills team. o Can Compel Attendance There Is no general luw or Con stltutlomil provision that compels members of congress to attend the sessions but the Constitution gives eucli house the authority to compel the attendance of Its own members.

!LEHMAN DOPED ’ AS GOLF CHAMP It Chicago, July 26.—HJ.R) —Johnnie , Lehman, Ciuca*.., nn—t'ar master r of driving, went out today ns fav- , i orite to defeat Ira Couch, Chicago, ,1,111 the fine linateh of the western ( I amateur golf tournament. Lehman, good enough to < llminate Don Moe, Portland, Ore., winnor of the title last year, achieved I his favoritism by h's surprising 8 < and 7 viclory over Phil P‘ rkins yi , a semi-final match yesterday. Perkins was favored to win when I'he two ted off. Phil previously had shot a 69, for a new course record. The former British am- ! ateur champion was regarded a i sure winn r. Bat Lehman, who has overthrown such men as Nordstrom and George Dawson, refused to lie cowed by any r> cords I and went out determined .to win I fioin tlie man who was runner up -, | n the American amateur tourna- ; nieiit of 192.8 to Bobby Jon s, the I super golfer. ; Com li won his way through the lower bracket by <1 feating such golfers as Don Anderson, St. Louik; Homer Joy, Colorado Springs; Charlie Fish, Rockford, 111., and , I finally Bob McCrary, trans-Mississ- ; ippi champion. ;| Lehman has played consistent i golf throughout the tournament. He was co-medalist with Chick ; Evans, Chicago with a score of 147 tor th- two qualifying rounds. To achieve that score he put togeth r a 73 and a 74 and ho has played low 70 golf throughout the tournament. His most gruelling match was with Moe, whom he eliminated on the 37th hole in a quarter-finals battle. Johnnie showed his real metal when lie took a two up 1 ad i at the end of three holes and never was down to Moe throughout the match. Perkins, who had eliminated Jack ; | Westland. Chicago district champ-, 1 ion in his previous round, was no ' ■ match for Lehman. Johnnie took | the lead on the second hole. The I Englishman was able to square the ; match several times but could not I get the lead. | Lehman, instead of playing ■ against his opponent, played against par. As a result he turned | the fiist nine holes with a 1 ad of. one hole in his favor. On the 11th i he went two up by playing a great , iron shot through the trees. That kad was increased when Perkins tine- putt-d tlie 14th and Johnnie was down in par. Perkins got a hole back on the 15th when Johnnie drove into the woods hut lout : it again when his ball became cov- ■ e: ed with mud and caused him to three putt. Lehman got off a great ! 325-yard drive on the 18th, tlie first time any one has achieved that dis I tame in the tournament, and he v. as down in "four to end the first 18 holes five up. He won the match by styming Perkins on the 25th and 26th holes which lie won. Th y halved the next three and the play was over. 0 Apple Flavor* Tlie flavors of apples are naturni to different varieties, but can he Influenced by witter and excessive tree growth.

SOVIET ONION HIGH IN RATE OF BIRTHS,DEATHS / Control Authorized But Large Families Are Urged By Government By Eugene Lyons. UP. Staff Correspondent Moscow, July 26. —<U.R) The So-; vi t Union has one of th? highest death rate lias fallen sharply owless, its rate ot natural increase is ■xtromely last because of the high bi: th rate. In 192 the latest year for which :■ nnplet figures are available — he e were I'2 births per 1,000 population and IS.I deaths, a population growth of 23.9 per 1,000. This meant a natural increase of about 3,500,000 that year, and the rate, according to estimates for 1929 tnd 1930, has been growing. As compared to pre-revolutionary Russia, the birth rate has declined somewhat: it was 45.5 in 1911-13 against the present 42. But the death lae has fallen sharply owing to improved sanitary conditions: 28.8 per thousand in 1911-13 against the present 18.1. The most startling contrast between the Russian of before and after the revolution has been in the matter of infant mortality. The country is still far behind most of Europe in this respect. It had 155 deaths of nfants under on? year for every 1,000 born in 1928. But this was an immense improvement when compared with the 265 infants who died out of every 1,000 born in 1911-13. Bi: th control is legal in the So- | vlet Union. Books on the subject are in every shq>p. Government clinics provide information and answer qustions. Every physician is p rmitted to instruct patients on the subject. Birth control medicaments and appliances are for sale

in every drug store and may be I bought with no more formality than headache powders. While mak’ng this knowledge legajly available to everybody, however, the Soviet government does not encourage birth control. On the contrary, it encourages the production of large families. The official propaganda on th? subject makts it clear that birth is primal ily a matter for the individuals to decide, but that the duty to the state is to breed new Soviet citizens. Except where economic ■or physical difficulties—poverty, insufI tici nt housing space, Bin ss, etc. I—m ike additional children burden- | some, the governmefit favors more births. Abortions are also legal. More han they, they are made in the ovcrnment clinics) and without •:harg to t:ade tin on m mbeis and; itheis consideted worthy of state 1 ass stance. This official aid, how-, < ver, is given only io those who can give a satifactory reason for not wishing to hive a child. A government commission hears the woman's reasons and decides wheth r or not they are justified. r i ni 'st cases the abortion is perm:**nd. Os course, a good many women hesitate to bring their problems to hesi governor nt clinics and thus ely on p.ivate physicians unauthorized to perform the op'ration, In consequences there are a certain number of illegal operations. Several years ago the governnent cinema trust put out a film ailed "Abortion'' and shown to adult audiences here. That plcure was interesting reflection of he Communist viewpoint on the subject. It was a perfectly candid lescription of the processes of coni ception, birth and child care, with • ample illustration of the methods i of birth control and abortion. But ts chief motive was to emphasize ■ ho dangeis of abortion and the t joys of motherhood — and fathert hood. In other words, while the - Soviets permit absolute, freedom > of knowledge and conscience in i the matter, they at the same time. - urge a natural population increase. ‘ Indeed, the Soviet system pro-

' vid s a good many advantages to mothers which constitute a sort lof bonus or subsidy and certainly go far to explain why the birth rate has temained almost steady' despite the legality of birth control. To- instance, every working iclass woman receives two months’; vacation with full pay before the birth of her child and two. months after. In other words, the birth of cvety child into a trade-union home costs the state four months of wages. That isn't all*: while the ba ; 'y is in its pursing age, the working mother is entitled to cer- ' in p . iods of rest every day for .ceding the infant, without any bu s of wages. The larger factories ipiovide day nuts ries in the sac-1 ory building itself, with trained tn ses in charge. A scries of special institutions ,'i.e advice, m dical assistance,l ■■te., to new mothers. The care of I children is probably the most high-} y dev loped social undertaking in the Soviet Union. Among the milllionfold peasant.y primitive methods of child care ar? still being used, but in the urban centers the state is fast introducing modern ideas. Soviet population increase evenjially may produce a serious prob'm. The present rate of natural growth barring war or some other catastrophe, would double Soviet population in 39 years’ The inciease of about 24 per 1,000, if confine <1 on the “compound interest” basis, would give ths Soviet Union 100,000,000 population In 1960 Grasping I hey know their grammar down n Santa Monica.

LOSS IS SHOWN IN BUILDING LAST 6 MONTHS Business Conditions Believed Slightly Better At Present Indianapolis Ind., July 26-(UP)— ■ Figures on building in Indiana durlii g June, obtained during a busl- ! )e H survey of the state for the week end today showed that only th. -e cities among nineteen showed i-ains over the same month last [year. They are Marion. Michlgar City and South Bend. In June this Lear he total of building in the Lineteen cities was $3,139,795; for i the same month last year $.>,14 1 ,364. Comparisons for the six months of thi< year compared with the same period in 1929 show that three of the nineteen cities gained. They are East Chicago. Logansport and Marion. Totals for the six months were $15,361,841 sot 1930 and $27,923,095 last year. The new building of the Ames Shovel and Tool Company at Emerson. replacing one destroyed by fire in February, will be ready for use about August 15. The company is employing 180 persons in temporary quarters, running on a reduced schedule. There is some hope of increasing the force after occupancy of the new building. A resolution has been adopted by tlie Munroe County Industrial club urging that Indiana limestone be used in construction of a new west side school building at Bloomington. A contract has been awarded on a bid of $5,178 for construction ot an adltion to the tire department building at Martinsville. ..
