With five consecutive defeats behind them and three games with the league leading Chicago Cnbs ahead, the Robins are facing the all-important test of their worth as championship contendere. A victory over the Cubs today would enable Brooklyn to remain a tie for first place and probablyi would give them the confidence ■ needed to carry them through to the pennant. A defeat will put the Robins two games behind the Cubs—the largest margin by which they have been out of the lead since the opening month of the campaign—• and in the opnion of baseball critics would put an end to Brooklyn's championship dreams. On paper the Robins do not rate as a first division ball club and their sustained success has been the surprise of the major league campaign. Ever since the Robins attained the lead, rival managers have been predicting that they would slump. Manager Wilbert Robinson, however, has kept his team in front and until yesterday l they had not lost more than four I games in a row at any time dur- ■ Ing the season. The Robins dropped the first

I contest of their crucial four-game I series with the Cubs yesterday I when Sheriff Fred Blake bested i Dazzy Vance, 3 to 2, In an 11inning pitching dual. Vance pitched great tall and deserved a victory, the Cnbs, making their only earned run of the game in ’ tile eleventh inning when Stephenson singled after singled by ' English and Cuyler and a walk to ' Hack Wilson filled the bases. Two errors by Jake Flowers 1 gave the Cubs their first two runs in the opening inning and although the Robins pounded Blake for 12 . hits he received sensational supI port and Brooklyn was unable to I overcome the handicap. Manager Robinson refuses to believe his team has "cracked" And predicted that they would earn at least an even break in the series with the Cubs. "We've had more than our share of bad breaks during the past week," said Robinson. “Vance deserved to win yesterday but luck was against him. I'm counting on Phelps. Luque and Thurs- , ton to stop the Cubs in the reI maining games.” - o BASEBALL BRIEFS 1 ♦ .——• The Chicago Cubs were a fraction more than one full game in front in the National League pennant race today as they resumed their vital series with the second-place Brooklyn Robins. The Cubs beat the Robins in the first game Tuesday 3-2 after 11 innings to extend the Robins’ losing streak to five games. The St. Louis Cards touched their old team-mate Willie Sherdel for eight hits to defeat the Boston Braves 4-2. Lindsey stopped a nlntnj inning rally by the Braves when he struck out two men with the tying runs on base. Powerful hitting carried Pittsburgh to a double win over the Phillies, 8-7, 8-3. The first game went 14 innings. New York and Cincinnati opened a four-game series today af'er a day of test. The Philadelphia Athletics continued their triumphantic March toward a second .American League pennant by taking both ends of a lonhleheader from the Cleveland Indians, 9-1, 7-0. Baoe Ruth hit no. 43 as the New ■ York Yankees nosed out Detroit 6-5. Bobby Reeves singled with the bases loaded and two down in the ninth to give the Boston Red Sox a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Browns Fas: fielding featured Washington's 5-4 defeat of the Chicago White Sox. The two teams executed five double plays. Yesterday’s Hero:- Babe Ruth, who in addition to hitting his 43rd home run of the season, singled ir. i the ninth inning to score the winning run as the New York Yankees defeated Retroit 6-5.

BOXING TRADE AT STANDSTILL

New York, Aug. 13-(U.R) After drawing more than a million dollars in three outdoor bouts here ths summer, the boxing Industry in this region was virtually at a standstill today because of the excessive demands of the leading fighters. Madison Square Garden has dropped negotiations for three outdoor shows- -Sharkey ■ Campolo, Singer-Berg and Thompson-McLar-nin because the fighters are asking too much for their services. Sharkey wants a guarantee of SIOO.IIOO to get into the ring again. Al Singer, newly-crowned lightweight champion, asks 40 per cent to meet Jack (Kid) Berg who demands 25 per cent. Jack Thompson, California negro, wants 40 per cent to meet Jimmj» McLarnin, Vancouver. B. C., who asks 25 per cent for his services. “We have dropped all negotiations for bouts in which the prin-

cipals ask more than 50 per cent of the gate," Frank Bruen, vicepresident of Madison Square Garden told the United Press today. "With the fighters getting 50 per cent, the tall park 12*4 per cent, another 12% per cent for preliminaries, there is left only 25 per cent for profit and incidentals. We are through with guarantees and will not pay any fighters more than the customary 50 per cent.” Unless Madison Square Garden can get the New York State Athletic commission to approve a match between Al Singer and Jimmy McLarnin, it is unlikely that another big outdoor show will be held here this summer. Singer and Mandell are willing to divide 50 per cent between them, but the New York commission is opposed to a champion fighting out of his class which Singer, the 135-pound titleholder, would have to do to meet McLarnin. a former lightweight who has grown into a welterweight. Another heavyweight match is a remote possibility. Young Stribling returned last night from England, where he knocked out Phil Scott in two rounds, and conferred today with the Garden over a possible match with Sharkey or Campolo. Sharkey’s demand for a SIOO,OOO guarantee may cause his break with the Garden, as Mique Malloy, Chicago promoter, is dickering for the Bostonian’s services for a match against Primo Camera at Chicago. Johnny Buckley and Jack Conway, managers of Sharkey, were due here today to discuss the Camera bout with Malloy.

(Young) Stribling, who re cently knocked out Phil Scott, arrived in New York las’ night on the liner Paris.

Dickson, who is planning a Berlin bout between Max Schmeling and Stribling, was met at the boat by Joe Jacobs, Schmeling’s manager, and informed that the promo‘er would have to post $500,000 to insure the fight. LIQUIDATING BANK TO MAKE DISTRIBUTION (CCNTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tion checks. The process of liquidating the old bank is moving along as smoothly as possible, Mr. Kirsch stated. Due to the heavy detail and extra bookkeeping required he distribution could not be made sooner, officers of the bank stated. The record made by the llquidatng agent and his assistants is a good one, since the old bank has been closed less than two months and steps towards liquidating were not taken until a month later. o MISSING AGED COUPLE SAFE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) car. Mrs. Kern was not as talkative as her husband, but did say they had “been visiting relatives a? a certain place in Ohio.” Kern would not discuss a mysterious real estate deal he supposedly had arranged to complete with V ■ ledo “Business men" yesterday.

Ohio police searched underworld haunts yesterday for trace of the couple, and highways throughout u wide section were watched. NO REASON FOR PRICE BOOSTING OF PRODUCTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) prices on farm products, secretary of agriculture Hyde said today after conferring with President Hoover on final preparations for tomorrow's governors' conference here. His department has received no reports of attempts at profiteering and he is confident the crisis will be passed without undue increases to individual consumers, Hyde said, he pointed out that while shortage exist, for the most par: they are in foods for tattle and not foods for human consumption. -— —o Santa Claus to Poor Children Leaves $2.50 Chicago, Aug. 13 -*-(UP) — Padly Harmon, the man who promoted he $7,000,000 Chicago stadium ami '■ho annually nlaved Santa Claus to more than 10,000 poor children, diet! with only $2.50 to his name and friends are planning a benei it boxing show for his widow Mrs. Mae Harmon and her 4-year-old daughter.

PLANE KEPT IN AIR MORE THAN 500 HOURS TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE 1 record, the fliers —whose watches appeared to be slow—shot their monoplane down over the field, a few hundred feet above the crowd, then shot to. the thousand feet level and circled around. They opened the cabin door and waved. Boys and girls in their teens were having the best time during the celebration. Two had drums, which they pounded in the parade. A small boy carried a large placard on which was scrawled "Again—Obie and did it." Lieut. James Doolittle, former army flier, entertained with spins and loops in his fast plane. Mrs. O’Brine and Mra. Jackson were soaked by the rain when they ran out on the field and waved to their husbands. After climbing back to the 1,006 foot level, the endurance monoplane again dived, speeding only 150 feet over the heads of the crowd three times In succession, and then sped up and resumed its circling course.

ROAD MAPS TO BE COMPLETED Indianapolis. Aug. 13.—( Special) —Free distribution of new road maps Issued by the stat 1 h ghway •ommisslon will start in about ten lays. This map, completely redesigned ays John J. B own, director, is the most complete ever issued by he state department, and carries much data heretofore unavailable n a single print. It Is believed to •ontain as much information for he tiaveling public as was ever ,tlaced on a state road map Dsued ■>y a highway department in the miintry. P.'cause of rti- rapid expansion if Indiana's road system, and the h.sire of Governor Leslie to prerent in one map all possible road nfoi mation, plus the fact of Inliana's geographic position in the lation's motor traffic, the new map s issued with a vast fund of inormation to motorists Printed in four colors, th? map s of the bellows folder type, pocket style, permitting it to be open d like the pages of a book. This eature will be found of great consilience to its consultation while n the car. Major county roads are likewise rhown along with the state highways, That the map be of additional rervice and act as a guide to tourists wishing to visit Indiana, the commission caused to be included all the historic memorials and state rarks and numerous points of interest that made the stats a favorite for tourists. They point out that Indiana annually attracts a treater number of out-tate visit(rs and these guests pay a large porportionate cost of state load itiilding and maintenahce through the gas tax. To further aid interstate travelers, more attention is given to connecting roads at the state lines, anc) more roads and wider territories in each adjoining state is shown. In the interest of added safety, the left margin of the map tarries a reprints of state highway '.umbering symbols and warning Signs, to enable drivers to familarze themselves with safe, so that even it at night for some reason wording of a sign is invisable, the Diver notes its shape and is instantly alert to possible danger ahead. The new map was designed unler the supervision of Wm. J. Tit is, chief engineer, who explains it arries more towns than customary, regardless whether on a state oad or not. Designation of towns are such is to indicate their relative popu.ation. State highways appear in wide black lines, surface types indicated by symbols. Major county roads are printed n gray, and symbols likewise indicate surface types. The proposed future additions to the state system, known as the dotted line” roads, to be maintained and paved as funds permit their absorption, are shown in nai routed lines. There are about 2,000 miles of these roads, it is said. Distances between towns state roads only are shown, appearing in small figures parallel with he highway. A long distance between major cities w.U appear in a triangular tabulation on the everse side of the next map issue, planned for some four months hence, officials said. Present figures show distances between all towns regardless of size, and are calculated to the nearest half mile. Numbers designating roads are set within the road line, and not o the side as heretofore. This irecaution was taken, it is explained, to avoid contusion heretofore prevailing under the old system. The road numbers appear either within a circle or a shiel, meaning, state or federal highway. State and county boundary lines are in blue. Because the state road map caries for the first time major county highways, likewise outstanding points of historical and scenic interest if state owned or controlled, its preparation necessitated several months of arduous work, (fficials say. The commission proposes, Mr. Brown states, to issue a new map up to date each four months, and the next edition will carry small detailed maps showing the route of state roads through major cities. In every respect the new map is the most complete in every detail yet issued by the road department, and its arduous preparation is compensated in the knowledge of its usefulness to the public. o 85 TAXPAYERS REMONSTRATE CONSTRUCTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 11c when the waters are high.” The remonstrators further state, "the present bridge can be repaired for $2,000,” and if thj new bridge is built it "would be necessary to build levies or a retaining wall at an additional cost of $30,000 and
