INDIANS PULL BIC SURPRISE New York, June 3. lU.R The Cleveland Indians are on the warpath again. After blowing the advantage they built up early in the season, the Indians have come back in surprising fashion and now boast a winning streak of eight consecutive . games. Although still nine games behind the pace setting Philadelphia Athletics. Cleveland promises to cause plenty of trouble for the American league pennant contenders if the team continues its present stride. When the first intersectional com petition of the year broke out in the major leagues three weeks the Indians held the lead in their, league. They lost it, however, when they were the victims of a i 12-game losing streak. Since they , have hit their winning stride again, the Indians have climbed hack into; the first division. Cleveland made it eight in a row yesterday by nosing out the Boston 1 Red Sox 12 to 11. The Indians shelled three Boston pitchers for eight runs in the sixth inning but almost lost out in the ninth when Boston scored five runs and had what would have been the tying run tagged out at the plate for the third out. The Philadelphia Athletics retained their five-game lead over Washington with a 3 to 2 victory , over Chicago. Bing Miller's home run with Foxx on base in the sixth | inning proved the downfall of Pat I Caraway. Rube Walberg allowed ' only four hits in registering his' eighth victory. Washington kept pace with the ; league leaders by turning back the Detroit Tigers, 5 to 3. The Sen-; ators collected 12 hits off Karl Whitehill, while Carl Fischer, a : rookie, was holding Detroit at bay. I New York also kept in the run- ; ning with a 9 to 2 verdict over the ; St. Louis Browns. The Yankees clinched the contest in the sixth j inning when they got to Gray for. five hits and four runs.

LONDON RUBBER MARKET PINCHED ♦ By Arthur F. Degreve United Press Staff Correspondent London. — (UP) — Millionaires here have bounced into poverty ; with the collapse in the price of I rubber. Today the dead hand of despair I hangs over Mincing-lane, the "Wall Street of rubber. ’ Office staffs have been cut in half. Brokers arrive late at their offices, take three hours for lunch and leave early in the afternoon. Some who once lived in luxury flats in lie west end, rode about in expensive automobiles and kept [ many servants, have moved tn a; small place in the suburbs. The, joint has replaced caviar and the ipping of champagne corks is heard ao Saw Prosperous Days Ten years ago Mincing-lane wins the magnet of the financial district • Thousands were investing in rub- 1 ber shares and living comfortably on the huge dividends paid. Youths .est college and hurried to the heat ridden rubber plantations where it seemed oportunity lay for the foundation of a great fortune. Those were the days when rubber was selling at 2.88 a pound. When [ new uses were being found for the i j.oduct daily and when the United S ates was buying more and more rubber to cope with increased sales 1 and production of automobiles ; Shares in rubber trusts reached as i high as $lO a share. Prices Began Slump Long before the pibsent economic depression, prices began to slump. The native producers in Malaya, Sumatra and Java increased their output and soon the world had much more rubber than it needed. 1 hen came the reduced purchases Horn abroad due to decreased sales <ii automotive vehicles. As a result rubber today is selling for a few pennies a pound, the lowest since man first put a knifq in‘o the soft bark, tapped, treated and dried the sap and sent it home to swell iortunes of those who had iiist realized its possibilities and had invested heavily.. The tragedy or Mincing-lane is exemplified by the story of the broker who doffed his hat as he stood before his office and explained his action to a friend, "1 always remove my hat in the presence of the dead." Holders of rubber shares have ceased looking at price quotations on the daily market and rubber trust investors look sadly at their stocks now worthless than half of what they were a decade ago. * COUNTY AGENT’S * COLUMN « -4B Tomatoes, cabbage, radishes and ail other garden plants are standing of the way in which the common garden insects attack plants will enable one to apply esI fectively the best insect controls, ac cording to County Agent Archbold The gardener should recall that insects damage plants ia ‘wo general ways. Some insects have chewing mouth parts and eat the solid parts of the foliage so that any poison placed on the part eaten will □e aken into the stomach. Other insects have sucking mouth parts and weaken the plant by removing the plant juices. Such insects can be killed by an insecticide which kills by contact. Insects such as caterpillars, slugs beetles and the like can be controlled by the use of such stomach poisons as arsenate of lead, applied I as a dust or as a spray. On the other hand insects of the ' type of aphids and leafhoppers, | which do not eat the foliage but

| instead suck the plant juices, can • be controled only by contact insecthides. Contact insecticides com-' ' inonly used in the home garden ar ? nicotine and p.J ethrum extracts , i which are now generally on the; I market. Regardless of rhe insecticide i used, it is exceedingly important ' that any control be applied promptly. throughly and. in a fine, force ; .ul spray. —— o — Twins Meet After Years Alessandria. —<U.R> —Orphan twins ot unknown parents.
