ATHLETICS GET STARTED AGAIN New York, May 2. — ,U.R) — The Philadelphia Athletics, after a disastrous start, are beginning to ) show the form that brought them I the world's baseball championship in 1929 and 1930. With Jimmy Foxx back in the lineup and George Earnshaw in i form, the Athletics’ "big five" has | started the click. And when the '"big five” — Grove, Cochrane, Simmons, Foxx and Earnshaw—is in l form, the men cf Connie Mack loom as about the best assemblage of baseball players in the major ! leagues. Earnshaw turned in a 3-hit performance as the Athletics shut out the New York Yankees. 4 to 0, yesterday. For eight and two-thirds . innings the big right hander pillowed but on hit. In the ninth he eased up and was touched for two’ safe blows. George Pipgras, who! has been inactive because cf an' operation, started his first game of the season and was touched for 9 hits, including home runs by Cochrane and Haas. The victory gave t Philadelphia a .500 rating, witli six) victories and six defeats. ! The Cleveland Indians, although) defeated 4 to 2 by Detroit, contin- ' tied to set the pa<e in the American' league. Cleveland has won nine of 14 contests to hold a full game) advantage over the second blace) Washington Senators. Vic Frasier pitched the Chicago White Sox to an 8 to 2 verdict over St. Louis, shoving the Browns deeper into the cellar. A seven-run rally in the sixth proved St. Louis' .downfall. Ftasier kept the nine iliits he allowed well scattered. The Boston Red Sox pounded three Washington hurlers fcr 14) hits in winning 10 to 4. Russell' ■ went the route for the Sox, yield- ■ ' ing ten blows. Behind the six-hit pitching of; j Sylvester Johnson, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated Chicago, 6 to) 2, to go into the National league lead, a few percentage points ahead; (of the New York Giants. The I Cardinals reached Smith and HeaI chout fcr nine hits and bunched I • hem in the third, fifth and eighth) innings for their tallies. Orsatti' (led the St. Louis attack with three .safe blows. Bill Walker held Boston to seven ! , bits as the Giants made it two in) i a row, 5 to 0. Brooklyn's Robins turned in their second straight victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 to 4. Four euccessive bases on balls after two men were cut in the eleventh inning gave the Pittsburg Pirates a 4 to 5 victory over Cincinnati. * Yesterday's hero: George Earn- ( shaw, who allowed but three hits ias the Philadelphia Athletics shut- : out the New York Yankees, 4 to 0. The Yankees made on'y one hit 'off Earnshaw until there were two) j out in the ninth. REBELS HALTED IN PORTUGAL -ONTINCED FROM PAGE ONRI with efforts to observe internation-) ) al Labor Day. Desp’te the bap on manifests-) tions, demonstrators attempted to; : hold a meeting in Rocia Square, i where they clashed with police, i Three bombs and many other missiles were hurled at the police, who replied with several volleys. The demonstrators were dispersed, with few casualties. Later, however, another outbreak was met with a volley of machine gun fire after a sharp clash between extremists and the Republican guard, which was alert for any possible political uprising. The major casualties occurred at that time, with both sides suffering many minor injuries. Questioned regarding any possi ble political significance of the demonstration or the possible threat of a political outbreak, government officials said there was absolutely no threat of that character. o Fire Damages Mine Clinton, Ind., May 2.—(U.R)— Damage estimated at SIOO,OOO was caused by fire which destroyed the tipple of the Miami mine No. 8 southwest of here. Two elevator cages crashed to the bottom of the shaft when surface supports became weakenedby the blaze. Firemen were still pouring water on the smouldering ruins five hours after the fire was noticed. The mine had not been in operation for several years and only six men were -working around the shaft when the fire started.

PURDUE VALUE OVER 9 MILLION —r 1 Lafayette, May I.— Assets of $9,509,641.10 are listed for Purdue University in the newly published I annual financial report for the ; institution covering the fiscal year lending Sept. 30. 1930. The report,! I prepared by f’ofttrolh r R. B. ; Stewart gives a wealth of informaI tion alMMit the financial organization of a modern and rapidly growing University. Land, lliil’ings and equipment ! owned ■bv the University have a i cash value of while other assets make up the difference between this amount and the 1 figure of nine and a half million. . The other assets include $340,000, | obtained from the sale of public lands in the sixties, and now loan-1 e l to the state: $37,439.64 in th" | student loan funds, securities worth $411,172.85 etc. These last I two amounts are the results of; gifts to the University at various times. An interesting fact revealed J>y the report is that of all property owned by the institution, $2,353,- | 220.92 has been received in the form qf gifts, something unusual in the life of state educational institutions. Some of the larger gifts received during the period covered by the report are a be- '■ quest from the Thomas Duncan I estatte valved at $150,000; 5200 j acres of timber land in the upper i penninsu’a of Michigan given in 1929 by Chase S. Osborn, former . governor of Michigan, and Purdue alumnus; gift of securities, assignment of various patents by officers and employees of the University, and many valuable pieces of equipment and documents; another of $54,000 from Frank M. Cary, Lafayette, retired business man and financier, for men’s dorinjior*"s; $20,000 bequest from the late W. F. M. Goss, formerly dean of engineering; SS,OOO for equipment of commercial pharmacy in the new pharmacy building and a $3,500 outfit from- the Oxweld Acetylene Company of Indianapolis. A majority of these gifts have come in the last 10 years. The report also reveals that the University owns more than 10,000 acres of land, including the 5,200 timber land gift from Mr. Osborn; 1245 acres in Minnesota from the late W. C. Smith of Williamsport, and the remainder of about 3600 in Indiana. More than 2200 acres of the land in Indiana also came to the University in the form of r’fts, either for experimental work over the state or for use as the campus, recreational field, civil engineering practice camp, University ainoort or for other purposes necessary in the varied lines of endeavor carried on by the insti- , tution. Even though the state by special act of the 1927 legislature for all state schools, provided a building tax which produced $378,020.78 during the fiscal year, private gifts yielded even more, or a total of $388,508.50 for the same purposes

1 during that peric:’, the report brings out. Funds require! to carry on the instructional research, and extension work of the University are supplied by state and federal appropriations, fees from students, sales of farm products, and by various private and public agencies which have put money in fellowships or are paying the cost of research programs. ‘ In terms of percentage, finan- : I rial sup >ort for instruction has increased less than 35 percent in five years, while the instructional urden itself has increased more , than 42 percent, due to a gain of 1342 students in the five year period* ’’ says Controller Stewart in part of his report. ‘ This brings the real financial problem of the University into its true perspec- | five.” — 0 NATIONAL BODY SEES GRADUAL BUSINESS GAIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I ' events.” I Edward A. Filene, Boston merchant: “I think at the end of the year there will be a beginning of an upwftrd turn that will continue through next year. Next year is going to be an election year and the Republicans who are in the majority in business in general influence know that their party cannot be re-elected unless times are better. They will exert a strong continuous influence. There are many others cn tip-toe waiting to jump, and that will serve to reinforce the general movement for improvement.” Fred M. Sagent, president Chivagi and Northwestern Railway: I “I have no doubt we have reached the end of the depression. World ~ forces are shaping themselves for 1 upward trend. This is no time •ifor pessimism, it is time to face ( the future with confidence.” U Pliny E. Helt, director of Caterpillar Traction Company, Stockton, ■ California: ;' "I expect a gradual improvement. I I don’t think there will be an im- •, mediate marked improvement, but i it will come slowly and surely.” Home C. Stephenson, South Bend, ■, Ind., president, American Bankers • Association: I “I do not suppose that any among us are pessimistic enough to be- >; lieve that anything but at least . gradual improvement in < business f lies ahead.

To reporters who met

him at the train and asked when the War would end, he said, it would end some time. When he picked up the papers the next morning, he saw in flaming headlines the words | "End of war in sight." “Well, I feel like prophesying again if you will allow me to do iso,’’ he told his audience last night, ! with an impish smile. . | "This crisis is sure to end. and we have never been so near the end as we are today." Washington, May 2— U.R) — The American Federation of Labor in its monthly survey of business conditirns today estimated that (there are still between 5,500,000 and 6,000,000- persons unemployed imthis country. “Improvement is not as rapid as hoped,” tke feedratio nsaid, "but gains are held. In building, water transport, service irfltustries and trade, employment is better. Hut in metal trades and printing, conditions are not improving. The greatest danger now is reaction and loss of confidence." Business is showing more resistance t 6 depression forces, the survey said, and for the first time I -since July, 1929, activity has increased for two nionthts in succession. , o License May Be Revoked Ii dianapolis, May 2—(UP)—The State Board of Education will (ry , Kenneth Hauk. ■ senool teacher at its June meeting . it was. announced here.
