PURDUE GRID TEAM LOSES I though two of the "rivetH" from I last year's "Four Riveters" backI field are not available this fall, re serves and i ncoming sophomor s I who aspire to halfback positions on the Boilermaker eleven have a big responsibility in attempting to fill the shoes of Balph "Pest” Welch nnd (lien Harmeson, the brilliant halfback pair that played a big part in the Boilermakers' 1929 title drive. Loss of Welch, unanimous choice | for all American honors, coupled I with the loss of Harmeson, allwestern and all-conference selec- [ tlon, leav a gaping holes at the two backfield wings, for the two were recognized as one of the greatest all-around halfback duos that ever performed together on an eleven. Rut, however great the loss of the two stars, the backfield situation at the Boilermaker institut’o nsl anything but desperate, for Alex Yunevieh, of Bicknell, crashing fullback, and Jack White, of Louisville, Ky.. canny quarterback, will both be ready for their second year of regular duty after a great season as sophomore competitors. In addition to these two sturdy “rivets." the Boilermaker coaching staff will have six other lettermen backs from the championship backfield roster along with three lettermen from former years, and several likely sophomores. Lettermen from the championship eleven, in addition to Yunevieh and White, include William Fulton. Gary, quaterhack; Lewis Pop' l , Frederick, Okla.; Ed Risk. | Terre Haute; Howard Klssell, Co-1 lumbtis, Ohio, and James Purvis, Mattoon. 111., halfbacks, and Albert Doutch, Chicago, 111., fullback. There is also a possibility that John Schwartz, of Houston, Texas, letterman in 1928, may be available as a halfback, while Linn Cook, of Brazil, letterman in 1927, intends to return to school. Hal Chasey, of Indianapolis, form°rly of Marion. a letterman in 1928. and a rtinor letteiman last season, will also make a bid for a halfback berth. With Yunevieh, the brilliant smasher and broken field runner who scored three touchdowns against Michigan last year in less than ten minutes on long runs, available, there should be few worries about the fullback berth. The Bicknell youth stamped himself as a star of the first water last year, and with added experience is expected to outshine himself this year. Backing up Yunevieh will be I) utch, who showed possibilities in the games he worked last season. Other fullback possibilities include Roy Horstman, Mishawaka; D. E. McDaniels, Coal City; B. Shearon. Hammond; E. C. Huguenard, Fort Wayne; E. O. Zuehlke, Chicago, and R. F. Kurtz, Seymour. Jack White, who turned in a remarkable exhibition of field generalship as a sophomore in direc’ing the Purdue eleven to its undefeated championship, looks like a permanent fixtures at the pilot's post again this fall. White will have abb backing from Bill Fulton and G. R. Weaver, of Huntington, Pa. Reserves who have their eyes on the post include D. B. Winslow. Chicago, and R. M. Hatfield, Sidney, Australia, while the likeliest .■■ophomores .are E. C. Hoagland, I'loomfield, N. J.; F. Keegan, Fort Wayne; R. Kelly, Chicago; M. Saloba, Indianapolis, and H. Shellhouse, Connersville. The wide open fight for the halfback berth is expected to center around Pope, Risk, Kissell, Purvis. Cook. Chasey, and possibly Schwartz. However, the halfback roster shows ten other candidates with regular aspirations, including Robert Dornte, Fort Wayne; C. E. Walbert, Chicago, 111.; C. J. Wil lard, Madison, S, D.; R. S. Atkinson, Kansas City, Mo.; E. R. Ross, Chicago; E. V. Smith, West Lafayette; L. R. Harvey, Mishawaka; R. Marrs. Howard, Kansas; V. A. Flinn, Sullivan, and A. B. Stantus, St. Charles, 111. o | BASEBALL BRIEFS * » ' • The New York Giants were but two games out of first place in the National league today when they resumed their series with the leading Chicago Cubs. The New Yorkers moved up a notch yesterday when they trimmed the Cubs in the first of the four-game series, 13 to 6. The win wrecked a baseball tradition of long standing, for Bill Walker and Hub Pruett, both southpaws, worked on the mound for the Giants. Tradition had It that left-handers stood absolutely no chance of beating the Chicagoans. In the only other National league game the St. Louis Cards ran Berserk to smother the Phillies 16

to 6. Ths Curds, led by Rafey and Bottomh y, got 19 hits. With two down in the ninth, Al I Simmons poked one over the wall II to score Mickey Cochrane ahead of him and give the Philadelphia Ath letlcs an 8 to 7 win over the Dei troit Tigers. • The Cleveland Indians nosed out the New York Yankees 6 to 5 when , Dick Porter's home run put an end 1 to things in the twelfth inning. , With the score 4 to 3 In favor of j the Yanks In the first of the ninth, , Lynn Lary, Yankee shortstop, in- , vadtd third baseman Lazzeri's ter- , ritory for a pop fly.

The Cubs saw their three-game lead melt away yesterday under a barrage of Giants runs. The score was 13 to 6 and put the McGrawmen two games behind the Cubs for the league leadership. The Handings before today’s game. Chicago 71 48 .597 New York .... 68 49 .581 2 Brooklyn 69 53 .566 5*4 St. I. mis .. . 63 56 .529 8 Root or Malone, for the Cubs, and Hubbell, a southpaw, for the Giants, were to start in the second game of the series today. After this game. McCarthy has either Root or Malone, depending on who pitches today, and the much-over-worked Bush to depend on, while Bancroft can choose Donohue, Keying. Chaplin, Pruett or Fitzsimmons to finish the series. Manager Joe McCarthy started Sheriff Fred Blake yesterday, and before he had retired the Giants in the opening inning the Sheriff was six down. Errors by Blair and Farrell and Lethargy by other infielders paver the way for the Giants' six runs, including a home run by Roettger, whereas alertness by the Cubs would have retired three of the first five McGrawsmen leaving the other two stranded on the bases. Six hits and an error, five of the hits coming in succession, gave the asttrners another cluster of five in the eighth and brought about the retirement of Blake. Teachout retired the side. During his tenure, Blake was rapped for 13 hits of all dimensions. The Giants also scored twice in the fifth, on -two singles, a double and a sacrifice. The Cubs got runs in the second and third on homers by Hartnett and Blair, picked up two runs in the seventh, their b ggest Inning, and single scores in the fifth and eighth. One of the oddities of the Giants’ determined bid for the pennant is the fact that while most teams win their pennants on their lumie grounds, the New Yorkers are making their most successful fight on the road. Manager McGraw has been “unavoidably detained in New York” since hfs team left the early part of the month, and the sensational playing of the diants has been directed by Dave Bancroft, formerly one of the smartest and best shortstops in the game. The Cubs have lost their last three games, losing the first of a twin-bill to the Phillies Tuesday, tying the second in 16 innings, losing the final game to the Phils and yesterday’s contest to the Giants. Oj Chicago, Aug. 22.—(U.R)—Herbie Schaffer, former contender for the world's featherweight boxing ■ championship, today began serving a 30-day sentence imposed upon him when found guilty on a charge ■ of robbery. He was accused of burglarizing $35 in merchandise ; from a restaurant.

The demonstration was it dazzling welcome to notable airmen gathered here for the opening tomorrow of the Nat'onal air races at Curtlss-Wright-Reynolds airport. Confetti and torn paper showered down on building tops as it was released a bale at a time from the speeding planes and floated into the canyons of commerce below : which were cleaned for a parade of vetting celebrities. Building tops were black with people dividing their attention between aviation’s galaxy in the skies and its colorful parade. Five hands led the procession. Spectators went without their lunch to watch the big open automobiles roll by and wave at their favorite heroes — Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, Capt. Fritz Loh-e, the German ace, "Casey” Jones and Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, president of the Nat'onal Aeronautical Association, and Eddie Rickenbacker, the World War ace. Meantime, at a half dozen airports around the city individual planes and army and navy groups were dropp'ng out of the skies every few minutes to be on hand 'or the opening of the races in the morning. The procession was two miles long. It wound its way slowly from the boulevard link bridge on I North Mich'gan Avenue, down to Jackson boulevard, across to La Salle street and north to Wacker I Drive. Some were disappointed at not seeing Admiral Richard E. Byrd In the parade. He was due here this morning to take part in the! prelude to the air meet but wired j at the last minute that he would be delayed until tonight.

"Most es epllal in combatting . crime is the robust sentiment which, regardless of the differences of political parties and policies, demands purity and competence in official action.” Speaking of criticisms of the supreme court, Hughes said: "Naturally when legislative arrangements become the subject of keen jud'cial examination . . . decisions become the subject of public scrutiny nnd sometimes of seVere criticism. That is whole-' some. If even scientists and great state-men disagree why should ! judges be expected to be always. In accord?" Defects in bankruptcy laws which, lie said, make it possible! for hundreds of thousands of wage earners to contract easily avoided debts, were po'nted to by Solicitor Thomas D. Thacher in an address preceding Hughes' talk. Outstanding among the committee reports yesterday was one l which recommended the Sherman I anti-trust law be changed to allow 'the federal trade commission to pass advance judgment upon all business agreements wh'ch might later involve the question of illegal restraint of trade. Prominent among the men mentioned for the presidertcy of he association were Josiah Marvel of Wilmington. Del.. Charles A. Boston of New York, and George B. Young of Montpelier, Vt. TEXAS PRIMARY NEARS CLOSE (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) ■state for Sterling, whom the young “xecutive appointed chairman of the state highway commission and refused to run against for governor. The campaign has Iwn largely one of negatives, and if there is any outstanding issqe it is the one called “Fergusonism." Dust of two decade’s accumulation has been brushed from the iecords of “Ma" and "Pa” Ferguson. The Sterling faction has presistently ferreted out details of those records and devoted a major portion of the campaign to discussion of alleged irregularities in the handling of the governor's office by “Farmer Jim" during his term of office. The Fetguson plea is to deny Sterling the nomination "because lie is a millionaire, and has lost the common touch, because he dominated the highway commission arbitrarily; because he would utilize the governorship in his vast business interests, and because he would saddle tax-payers with enormous burdens, chief of which is his campaign for a $350,000,000 state road bond issue.” A.

I gangsters from the city, played , j Important roles in the city's poll Illes, and. possibly, how he conducted himself when his wealth was * threatened. , Zuta, the records disclosed, was i much more of a power in gangland than he ever had been given credit $ . for being. One document which Roche showed special interest In was an official statement given to police , by a girl who was arrested three ! years ago. « This girl, who was never Indicted, told the officers, according to . the document, that she earn o here at the request of Joe ’Peppy" . Genero and Thomas “Mops" Volpe to lure Zuta into a kidnaping trap which they planned for him. Roche ’ pointed out that the girl's statem nt never was made public by the police, but that Zuta, some;how, obtained It, and that shortly' ■ after the date it was obtained Gen-o-n and Volpe were mysteriously 1 slain. Another exhibit among the Zuta I possessions was a postcard which , Ahl rman G orge Maypole sent Zuta from Hot Springs, Ark. Another was a telegram and letter indicating Zuta had made efforts to. influence Gov. Doyle E. Carlton of Florida in some matter of interest; to him. The records did not makej clear what this matter was and .?ave no indication the messages ever reached Gov. Carlton. Roche, chewing constantly on a cigar and toying with a moster onyx ring which he wears on the little finger of his left hand, told newspaper men there was no reason to believe many of the men named in the documents ever had any actual dealings with Zuta. but that the records offered definite evidence that others in high positions had shared in the millions which the gang leader handled. SOCIETY EX-TRUSTEES HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC The Adams county township trustees, elected in 1908 and who served from 1999 to 1914 with their families and other guests m t in annual picnic at Sun Set Park Thursday. This oiganization has been in existence since the year 1909. At 12 o'clock, a sumptions bask t dinner was served on a long table in the park. Following the dinner games were played and a social time enjoyed. The chief game was “horse shoes.” and at this game quite a bit of inter: st was 1 manifested. Nathan Meshberger and Vernon C.
