Chicago, Aug i—(U.RJ The British empire has named a squad of SO athletes, iucluding 38 1928 Olympic game contestants, for the International Track aud Field (lames witli the United States al l Soldier Field, Aug. 27. Th' British team will be recruited from athletes representing England, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. British Guiana and South Africa and will try for places in the British Empire Games at Montreal earlier in the month. Olympic stars include Lord David Burghley, 400-meter hurdle champion; Percy Williams, Olympic sprint champion; Jimmy Ball, quartermiler, and W. B. Legg, South African sprinter. LOU GEHRIG HAS BIG YEAR New York, Aug. I—(UP)—Lou Gehrig has ha,d his ups and downs since he replaced Wally Pip aa first baseman of the New York Yankees in 1925, but the former Columbia athlete is experiencing one of his best years in baseball this season. Gehrig’s batting average dwindled away to a mere .300 last season, and the husky Dutchman's place on the Yankees was none too secure Gehrig is one of the highest priced players in the game, drawing |25,000 a year, and the Yankee officials didn't think Lou quite earned his stipend. But Gehrig has bounded back with a bang, and today was leading the American League with an aver age of .392 and in the midst of a terrific hitting streak. In five games played this week, Gehrig has batted .478. driven in 20 runs, scored nine himself and hit four home runs. Gehrig's home run total is now 33 placing him in a tie with Hack Wili son of the Chicago Cubs for second place, three behind Babe Ruth’s total of 36. With Babe Ruth handicapped by an injury to his thumb, Gehrig's offensive work has been largely responsible for the Yankees hanging on !in the American League pennant I race. If the Athletics should crack it seems likely that the Yankees, and not the Senators, will supply Philadelphia with its stiffest opposition. — o * BASEBALL BRIEFS Two games behind the 1 agu - leading Brooklyn Robins, the Chicago Cubs opened a new drive for the National league lead today after two days of idleness because of open dat s. With a 5-game winning streak intact and tied for fourth place, the Pittsburgh Pirates moved into Chi- ! cago today to battle the Cubs in I a 3-game series. Brooklyn had half a game shaved off its lead yesterday when the Robins lost to the Phillies. 12-7. The New York Giants won their fourth straight game by defeating the Boston Braves, 11-5, and moved within five games of Brooklyn and three games of Chicago. Larry French, Pirate southpaw, doubled in the ninth to win his own game for Pittsburgh from St. Louis. 4-3. The game left the two clubs deadlocked in fourth place. With an 8-game lead over Washington, the Philadelphia Athletics were afforded a day of rest today because of an open d«y in the schedule. The Athletics made it two straight over the second-place Senators yesterday, 4-3. The New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox, 14-13, in a comedy of errors, the Yanks making seven miscues and the Red Sox six. The Chicago White Sox won twice from the St. Louis Browns, 10-2 and 1-0. Ted Lyßns won his 17th victory of the Season in the second game. Eddie Morgan hit his 23rd home run and Wesley Ferrell won n<» 17th game as Cleveland beat Detroit, 5-3. Ferrell and Lyons are the first major league pitchers to win 17 games this season. « Yesterday’s hero was Lester Sweetland, Phillies pitcher, who halted his team’s 11-game losing streak by going the route against the league-leading Brooklyn Robins and corning through with a 12-7 victory. ’

AUTHOR BLAMES U. S. FARM BOARD Says Price Manipulation Caused Decrease in Grain Values Saskatoon, Sask., Aug. I—(U.R)--Dr. W. W. Swanson, author and professor, told the United Press today he believed the United States farm board was to blame for present low wheat prices "because it has artificially manipulated the market.” "The real factor depressing prices is the surplus created by the past policies of the U. S. farm board," said Swanson, who is head of the department of economics at the University of Saskatchewan chairman of the Royal Saskatchewan commission on immigration and author of the book “Wheat.” "Throughout the world,” he said, “the wheat crop does not reach the proportions of a year ago and even the United States will have no considerable surplus above the normal. The figures ssued by the department of agriculture at Washington, which are exceedingly bearish, have evidently been published with a purpose, namely, to support Mr. Legge and his associates in their campaign t'< curtail wheat acreage. "These may be viewed with suspicion in light of the fact that the same department published equally optimistic data within the last marketing year. "Indeed we may say that as long as the U. S. farm board continues its present practice of artificially manipulating the market, buyers for export as well as do- i mestic trade will be handicapped | and confused, witli resultant demoralizing market effects.” Dr. Swanson expressed confi-! dence the market situation would improve, saying "powerful factors are at work which ultimately will , carry basic commodity prices to higher levels."

|W. C. T. U. Plans Annual Meet Plans for the 19.30 convention of the Indiana Women's Christian Temperapce Union to be held at Anderson, Ind., Oct. 40, 11, 12 and 13, are being arranged by the state leaders, and a preliminary an-, nouncoment by Mrs. Elizabeth.

Mrs. Armor is one of the favorite woman leaders of the “drys" and is recognized as a fearless fighter against intemperance. “Col. Robbins was considered the bi st speaker on the program of the Wotld Conference Against Alcohol held at Toronto, Canada,! and Mrs. Armor was the outstanding speaker at the National W. C.j T. C. convention held last Septem-. her in Indianapolis, so we are assured of these two headliners at our state convention this year at Anderson," said Mrs. Stanley. Considerable emphasis will be laid Ulis year at the convention in enlisting the support of young people in the fight against booze, Mrs. Stanley said. "Our grand diamond oratorical

Icontest, in which a number of .voting people will take part, is another feature of the Anderson convention, and we hope to encourage greater interest on the part of our coming citizens in the work we women are attempting to carry on.” Mrs. Luella F.

The total deposits in the old institution now total about $349,000. | A 10 per cent distribution would pay approximately $34,000 to depositors. In the process of liquidation the deposits have been reduced from approximately $440,000, through setoffs on notes, to about $340,000, Mr. Armstrong stated. Persons owing notes at the old institution and having credit, either on checking account or represented in certificates of deposit, were credited witli the deposit, thus reducing the amount of deposits.

At 4:36 o’clock the dirigible's tip snapped into the receptacle on the mast, the telescopic mooring arm was drawn in, and the ship was left with just enough room between t and the mast to swing freely in the wind. Customs officials and medical examiners were the first to go aboard. They made an examination of the ship, as of any incoming ocean liner, before 'the seven passengers end 37 members of the crew were allowed to land. Wing Commander R. B. B. Colmore minimized the damage to the tail fin, but said that it, combined with bad weather yesterday, had delayed the dirigible on the last stage of Its flight. The damage to the fin was not entirely repaired in the air. it was learned, although sufficient! repatis were made to enable the dirigible to continue at reduced speed to St. Hubert..

Major G. H. Scott, who commanded the dirigible R-34 which made the first trans-Atlantic round trip flight compared that feat with the luxurious crossing of the R-100. "We slept well, ate well, and had | plenty of time to walk about," Ma jo. Scott said, comparing the two 'Owing to the way in which the crew of the R-100 worked, we got here safely, comfortably, and not very late." Lieut. Commander Sir C. Denistoun Burney, who designed the R--100 as an experimental aircraft, predicted great benefits to the British! empire it its scattered parts could j lie linked by dirigible lines. Rear Admiral William A. Moffat, | chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics of the United States Navy, was among the first to welcome the Britishers to earth, arid congratulated squadron leader Booth on the sue cess of the flight. Admiral Moffat also extended the i ship's officers the assistance of the United States Navy during the time the dirigible remains in Canada and ■ on its voyage back to England, I scheduled to begin on August 15. I The passengers, officers and crew descended from the ship down the mooring mast elevator, and were informally received on the ground by Col. J. E. Ralston, Canadian Min ister of National defense; Rear Admiral Hoffat, Lieut, Cmdr. C. E. • Rosendahl, former commander ot i the U. S. Navy dirigible Los Angeles; Mayor CamiHien Houde t of Montreal; and other high Canadian and United States officials. The officers and crew will be allowed to rest today. Most of today and tomorrow will be spent in re-1 fueling the ship and filling the bags I with hydrogen to replace that lost during the voyage. The crossing of the North Allan-1 tic by the Dirigible R-100 marked | a new route for airships, which us-| tally have ended their voyages across the Atlantic near New York. The speed of the R-100. 78 hours 51 minutes for a straight course along the 55th parallel, may be compared with the following flights: The British R-34—First airship'' crossing of the Atlantic and t>tst round-trip flight, covered 3.270- miles in 108 hours trom Scotland to Mineola, N. Y., July 26, J 219. The German (now the Los

Covered 3,500 miles from Seville to Pernambuco Brazil in 62 hums 35 minutes, 1930. Covered 4,200 miles from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen in 55 hours and 24 minutes in 1929. making the Eastward crossing which usually is aided by favotable winds. The R-100 has a gas capacity of 5, (11)0,000 cubic feet compared to 3,700,00(1 cubic feet for the Graf Zeppellu The German craft, however is 776 feet long, compared to 732 for the R-100. which Ims six engines developing 2,900 horsepower.
