LIONS DEFEAT ROTARY TEAM Harry Knapp's Lions junior baseball team defeated Pat Coffee's Rotary nine at South Ward' I last night and by so doing showed *he baseball fans that the team which started "the season as a decided underdog will be a tough pennant, contender next season. The score of last night’s game was 9-4 and Harmon, Lions t.wirler. held the opposing batters at bay during most of the tilt, netting II strikeouts. Schultz, Lions catcher, worked one of his best games of the season. While there are two or three postponed games yet unplayed, it is probable that the games will not be held, because they would not materially change the standing. The Moose team by losing a postponed game to the Lions would still retain first place. o Kindness Causes Arrest Ind|anajK>|iis. ISept 4. —<U.R>— What was intended as a kindly act landed Thomas Kelley in jail last night. He hailed a stranger who was passing the home of John Kirkham I and offered him a glass of beer. The stranger accepted the invitation. ‘‘That will be a quarter,” Kelley said after producing a stein of foaming brew. The stranger showed a police badge. After police confiscated 114 quarts of beer they arrested Kelley on blind tiger charges. Kirkham, who was not at home, later was arrested on the same • charge. o — Man Bitten By Rat Warsaw, Ind., Sept. 4—(UP)— A vicious bite on one ear awakened Harold Shepler, city fire truck driver, this morning, and blood poured from the wound. A rat had gained entrance to the municipal building and attacked the sleeping fireman. o— Get the Habit—Trade at Home.

MCGRAW SIGNS NEW CONTRACT I New York, Sept. 4.—(U.PJ—John J. McGraw has signed a contract ’ to manage the New York Giants , for five more years, and harmony ) apparently has be n restored' ( among the owners ami officials of! the chib. ! With McGraw absent from the team for many weeks, many confileting ‘reports were circulated about the state of affairs among the Giants' officials and McGraw's future plans. To quiet these rumors, Charles A. Stoneham, president and principal stockholder of the club, officially announced yesterday: 1. That McGraw had s'gned a 5-year contract, beginning in 1931. 2. —That McGraw's absence from j the club was due to ill health. 3. That McGraw was und r doctor's orders to keep off I lie bench. 4. —Tliat McGraw intends to finish his baseball career as a National league manager. 5. —That McGraw has been in constant touch with the Giants' while on the road as well as at the Polo grounds. Under the terms of McGraw's new contract, it is understood that he will draw a yearly salary of $70,000, an increase of SIO,OOO over his pfesent contract. McGraw's' present contract is said to pay him $40,000 as manager of the Giants and $20,000 as vice-presi-dent of the club. Although McGraw is not confined to his bed, it is doubtful if he 1 will assume active direction of the' Giants from the bench again this season. Dave Bancroft, former Giants' shortstop and one time manager of the Boston Braves, is running the Giants, although receiving daily orders from McGraw via long distance telephone. The rumors concerning McGraw’s retirement started when the veteran manager failed to accompanj’ the Giants on their final western trip. McGraw's absence at that time was reported as due to "per sonal matters.” Not until yesterday when Stoneham announced that McGraw had signed a new long-term contract I did it become known that the vet-* eran manager was under doctor's orders to remain off the bench. It is known, however, that during his absence from the team McGraw appeared at the race-track at Saratoga Springs. This was taken to' mean in some quarters that he had definitely lost interest in the Giants I and planned to transfer his ser-j vices elsewhere. »_ * BASE BALL BRIEFS j The New York Giants were half 1 game nearer the Chicago Cubs today in the National league pennant race, but had muffed another opportunity to gain still more ground on tjieef altering league- i leaders. A double victory over the Bos-| ton Braves yesterday would have elevated the Giants to within 2% i gam s of the Cubs. Instead the! Giants squandered a 3-run lead in j the second gam\ and divided a, twin bill with the Braves, winning Ithe fit st game, 5-3, and losing the second, 11-7. The Cubs dropped their fourth game in the last five played when . the Pirates put on a 6-run rally In th? sixth inn'ng to score a 9-6 victory- The Cubs’ lead over the Giants is now only 3% games. j The Philadelphia Athletics In-' Teased their lead in th? American' league to 6’A games by defeating the Boston Led Sox, 11-4, while the New Yotk Yankees beat Washing-' on, 10-7. Lefty Grove hung up his 23rd victory of the season in pitching the A’s to victory. Play Night Football Frankfort, Ind. Sept. 4—(UP)— rhe first night football game of the 1930 season is scheduled to be played on Scott field Friday nigh', with Frankfort -and Attica high schools competing. Coach Rnorbaugh has been drilling his Flankfort grid squad for several weeks in preparation lot the exceptionally early season game. All games at Frankfort will bo played at night. O ' Low Water Level Tarentum, Pa.,'—(UP) The Al legheny River reached the lowest level in 36 years at Rimerton* in the j draught this summer, it was revealed when the water fell below a rock carved with initials during the rec- , ord drought in 1894.
