Including three double-headers scheduled abroad. Coming through the stormy 4game series with the New York Giants all even, the Robins maintained their two and a half game lead over the Chicago Cubs and j their 5 game lead over the thirdp'nee Giants. Brooklyn sumped on its last western trip, winning only six out of 3 games and losing the lead to the Cubs on one occasion only to get it back on the last day of the Invasion, Strategy that failed prevented the Giants from making a possible clean sweep of the series just ended again -t the Robins. The Giants lost Sunday when Dave Bancroft, acting manager in the absence of J. J. McGraw, ordered Carl Hubbell, yho had held the Robins to four him, to walk Wright and Bressler after Herman had doubled and try for a double play. After filling the bases, Hubbell was unable to retain hais control ami walked Flowers. forcing in the only run of the game. Wright made only one hit in the series and Bressler is hitting .268. McGraw himself made what provto be a costly move yesterday after the Giants had staged a spectacular 5-run rally in the ninth to tie the score, 6-6. Joe Hevins. Giant’s brilliant relief hurler, retired the top end of the Robins' batting order down one-two-three, and then was ban!-tied for Bob O'Farrell, n pinch-hitter, with one out and the l bases empty. The situation did not call for a pinch hitter, and McGraw's move amazed many close followers of baseball. O’Farrell was an easy out. after which the Giants staged a rally to score two runs and take the lead, 8-6. Bill Walker pitched the tenth in-' ning for the Giants, and Brooklyn,' aided by a costly error by Lind-; strom, scored three runs to win the game, 9-8.

"Rip Van Winkle” Kleinhenz, who earlier in the season knocked the cover off the ball and then went to sleep awakened yesterday, and smacked the ball out into someone's potato patch for a homer and then slammed out two singles, a triple. and a double. The rest of the Rotary heavy artillery punished the ball and all in all it was a big evening for the Rotary team. The Legion juniors blew sky-high a few times, but as a rule the fielding was fairly good. Ritter went to the hill for the Legion team at the opening of the game but Hendricks was sent in. Baumgartner did a good job of catching for the losers. Ogg. Rotary moundsman did some good work which held the losers’ to 5 runs and Ornlor supported him i behind the bat in good style. The Coffeemen appeared last night to be out for blood, and several of that team’s players said today they were all set now for city title. A good crowd attended the gam" Next Thursday night The Moose and Lions teams will mix. The Moose now leads the league, a half game ahead of the Rotary team with Lions third and the Legion nine in last place. - -o New Endurance Test Hartford City.

DRAFT IGNORED BY AIL MINORS [I Chicago. Aug. 6.—(U.PJ—With the decision of the American Association. Pacific Coast and International leagues to Ignore the draft ultimatum of thi‘ majors, naseball men I today prepared for open warfare between the class AA organizations and the two major leagues. Representatives of the three class AA leagues met here, yesterday ; and went on record as refusing to . conform to the universal draft, ..thus defying the major league i! threat to sever all player relations , I with leagues not accefiting the ’draft before Dec. 1, 1930. Although refusing to announce I their plans for fighting the major | league boycott, under which the big leagues would refuse to buy, I sell, trade and transfer players to i non draft circuits, the class AA leagues indicated'that th y would ' act in harmony and planned to seek the support of other minor leagues in their fight. A committee of three, Walter E. Hapgood. general manager of the Montreal International league club, Charles Graham, vice-presid -nt of the San Francisco Pacific coast league club, and Oscar Smith, president of the Toledo American Association club, was appointed to make recommendations for a common polity in regard to the draft and 'other probit ms aIT eting relations I between the major and minor leagues. The committee will report at a special conference in Montreal during the first week in December, immediately after the threatened boycott will become effective. By ignoring the draft ulGmatum ’ tlie minor leagues have put the issue squarely up to the major leagues. The class AA organizations declared they were within their rights in refusing to accept the draft and said the threatened major league boycott would be a direct violation of the 1921 national agreement, in which leagues opposed to the draft were granted exemption . from draft provisions. Since that time the class AA leagues agreed to a mollified draft by which major leagues could draft players released to the non-selec-tive leagues. The majdrs have made . many efforts to make the draft universal but the three class AA lea- ■ gues and the western and threeI eye leagues have rejected all proposals for a change in the agree- ' rnent. President E. S. Barnard of the American league said that the majors were ready to accept the class AA challenge but that he was confident the difficulty would be ironed out satisfactorily before Dec. 1. “We are determined that the draft principle be accepted," he said. “We have made many liberal concessions in the past but the minors ignored our offers and forced us to adopt the ‘big stick’ attitude. "A universal draft will aid all leagues and we intend to get one or carry out our threat of severing relations with the so-call d ‘nonselective’ leagues." o * BASEBALL BRIEFS ’ Philadelphia and Washington, the two American league leaders, opened a two-game series at Shib? Park today, while Brooklyn, National league pace-settler, opened a two-game series at Pittsburgh, Enjoying a lead of 7% games, the Athletics' IcadAthip in the American league seems secure unless the Mackmen should hit a diaasrous slump.

CITY CHAMPS START MATCH Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 6. —-'U.R) —One hundred seventeen municipal golf Enks champions from 28 cities continued play today' over the Jacksonville city course, but without th presence of a defending champion. Carl F. Kauffman of Pittsburgh, champion of the past three years, was disqualified last night when he ■nd his partner. Guy McCall of B iff,.io, could not agree with United States Golf Association officials on tlie counting of a putt. The official statement said: “The competitor with whom he “Kauffman) played in the qualifying round marked on the score card a four instead of a five for the ninth hole. • The error was wholly unintentional but the rules state no alteration ?an be made after the card has be n returned. Unfoi tunately Kauffman did not check the score before he handed in his card." Harry I. Givan, of Seattle, Wash., turned in a 36-37-73, one over par, to lead the field in play yesterday. Bob Wingate, Jacksonville city champion, and Al Quigley, Chicago, were tied for second place with 37-37-74 each. Joseph S. Green, Philadelphia, was third with 40-35-75.

The drought has not changed Legge’s belief that wheat farmers should cut down acreage, he said. "We have an unusual situation this year," he said. “In average years there would be no need to feed wheat to livestock.” Legge said that Secretary of Agriculture Hyde’s estmates of a 500000,000 bushel corn shortage this year was “only too true.” Corn fields and pastures from a line beginning at the national capital and running clear through to central Missouri are practically all burned up, he said. ‘‘Farmers in that section are being forced to throw their dairy cattle and steers on the market for what they will bring,’ he said. There is absolutely no need for them on the farms. It is the most regrettaable part of the drought. “It means the breaking up of dairy herds. It will take at ’.east ix years to rebuild these herds which are being destroyed in a single season. “That is why I believe our greatest problem now is to care for the livestock industry.” Coaching School To Open Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 6—(UP)—• The fifth annual basketball coach ing school for high school and col ege instructors will be opened at Lake Manitou, Rochester, Ind., August 11, with Ward Lambert, Purdue mentor in charge.

Councilman Joe Hunter mentioned the fact that the signal lights did not work when the engine or ars were on the team tracks until the engine was within a few feet of the crossing. This matter, Mr. Dtompson stated would be corrected, either through the adjustment of the signals or the placing of a man at the crossing when thq switching crew was at work. Councilman O. L. Vance stated that the city did not wish to be arbitrary in the matter, but that citizens in the south part of the city, especially those who sent children to the south ward school building wanted the watchman on duty during the day. Mr. Vance also stated that the council in demanding that a watchman remain at tn.i crossing was done “to keep faith with the citizens who wanted such protection”. "The understanding the council had with the railroad was that the watchman was to remain on duty until the council saw fit to remove him", Mr. Vance ex-

plained. There was much discussion and Mr. Thompson brought out many I points In favor of removing the watchman and having the crossing guarded by the signal lights only and the city councilmen brought out fin ts and points favoring the watch- . man. The matter was finally disposed of with the suggestion from . Mr. Thompson that his department . obtain personal Interviews from j every citizen south of Adams street on the mutter and that ho present , such findings to the city council. The Nickel Plato railroad some- , time ago removed George Winters age 82 as watchman at the crossing. The Elie railroad has also re- , moved its crossing watchman at Winchester street and Mercer avenue. Representatives of the Erie ' railroad did not appar before the council last night.
