The Moose trimmed the Legion 114 at West Adams street diamond and the Lifers beat the Rotary 21-6 at Berne. The Moose team, having defeated both the Lincoln Life and Lions aggregations looms as a possible winner of the county title. The Lions however have been strengthened considerably since the first Moose game and it is believed that these two teams are the strongest in the league at present. The Lincoln Life team also is regarded as having a chance to win the pennant. Ritter and StriUkler were the winning battery in the game here last night and Lose and Miller formed the Legion battery. The Legion team showed considerable] improvement and with a little more strength that team is going to cause some trouble before the season is over. No games are scheduled in the league for today or Sunday. Next Tuesday the Rotary plays Winner Brand at the local diamond. St. Bernards of Thibet Geneva.

THREE FAVORED i IN DERBY RACE - Chicago, June 20 —(U.R) — Mate,, Suu Meadow and ‘Spanish Play, 1 1 were the favored contenders for 1 1 the 23rd running today of the 1 1 $50,660 added American derby, i- ■ notorious for its long-shot win ' < j I “ers- | . Many in the crowd of nearly I50,000, which gatherer! at Wash- - ' ■ ington Park today, remember how , 1 1 Reveille Boy beat Gallant Knight. , 1 . the favorite, by four lengths last year and paid $113.08 for each $2 t ’ mutuel ' In 1929 it was Windy City * which upset the favorite, while in £ ' 1928 Toro triumphed over the-J favored Misstep. Hydromel won ‘ 1 i in 1927 and Boot to Boot in 1926. j r Inaugurated in 1884 the Ameri- 1 , can Derby was once the country's I t ! I most famous thoroughbred race. | • ! but it was suspended from 1904 to 1 , 1926 when racing was outlawed in ' 1 ; Illinois. c Fifteen three-year-olds, 14 colts -j' and one filly, were named over I j night to go to the post at 4:25] j central standard time, but three . ' of them. Royal Ruffin. Don Leon j , find Sunny Lassie, the lone filly, 1 ■ • were considered doubtful starters, i 1 With the field reduced to 12, I the gross value of the race would | be $56,700. ami the winner would, .. receive $46,700 and a silver trophy' worth $2,500. The distance is a mile and a quarter. The nation's classiest 3-year olds, with the exception of Twenty v Grand and Sweep All, were among ( the entries. Twenty Grand failed j to accept the nomination after v dinning the Belmont stakes last t week. Sweep All. second to , Twenty Grand in the Kentucky derby, bowed a tendon in a trial 1 rate Tuesday and probably will t 1'? laid u'i the rest of the year. , Mate, carrying top weight of! i 126 pounds, ruled a 2-1 favorite t largely because of solid backing from the east. A. C. Bostwick.; owner of Mate who is h°re to sad-1 die his horse, was confident th-- I ' chestnut colt which has picked up 150 pounds since he ran third in 1 ] the Kentucky derby will win. "Mate has only Sun Meadow to 1 beat." said Bostwick, ‘‘and I think he will do that convincingly." Sun Meadow, which finished j second to Twenty Grand in the I Belmont stakes and beat Jamesj town, was a second choice at 5-2. ' Spanish play, owned by C. H. Knebelkatnp of Louisville and Richard Morris of Chicago, carried the hopes c,f the west and was third | choice at 6-1. Those who telieve this famous j old race has the favorites jinxed! - point out that: 1. Mate hasn't started a race ! since he ran third to Twenty I ■ Grand and Sweep All in the Ken-. I tucky derby and that, although he t 1 looks good, there must be some reason why he was shipped east ! and then kept idle. 2. Sun Meadow ran a gruelling mile and a half at Belmont Park last Saturday and doesn't figure j to be good enough horse to come! back with another top notch per-I , formance today. 3. Spanish Play is a winter track horse and already has start-1 e<l 17 times this season, and mjy 1 have run his best in winning the! Louisiana derby and finishing 4th , in the Kentucky derby. Six horses. Morpheus. Don Leon, I Royal Ruffin, Ladder, Sunny Las-i sie and the Mongol, have been 1 grouped in the mutuel field. I Ladder was third in the Preakness, j and Morpheus only lost by a nose ; I to Boys Howdy In the derby trial | purse. The field looked like a [ ; good bet unless the crowd derives ' i the odds down below 20-1. 1 Joey Bibb, a colt from Lexing-1 ton.

CUBS SHOW OLD TIME ABILITY I United Press Staff Correspondent New York. June 20 (UP) Fears ' that the Chicago Cubs. aftes a I rather unimpressive home stand. ! would see their 1931 National Lea.gue pennant hopes fade on their : current eastern invasion apparently . were groundless. With Manager Rogers Hornsby back in the lineup, recovered from a hitting slump, the Cubs have displayed their old time power in the first three games of the road jaunt. They have taken two of the three contests against Brooklyn and have been hitting the ball at a merry clip. • The triumphs marked the return of Hack Wilson to batting form If Wilson continues to hit and Pat Malone can take his regular turn hereafter on the mound, the Cubs will still be a formidable threat for the pennant. There was nothing wrong with their play yesterday as they overwhelmed Brooklyn 12 to 7. The Cubs scored ten runs in the Fourth and fifth inning when they knocked Joe Shade, starting Brooklyn pitcher, and Fred Heimach from the mound. The St. Louis Cardinals increased their leadership in the National to four full contests by whipping the Boston Braves 11 to 3 as Pittsburgh won from New York, holders of second place. 4 to 1. The Cardinals got to Seibold for six runs in the first three innings and allowed Bill HaUahan to coast to victory. Piling up a large lead in the first three innings, the Philadelphia Phillies had Little trouble in downing Cincinnati, 10 to 3. In the American League, the Philladelphia Athletics increased their leadership to three and one halt contests by defeating the Chicago , White Sox In to 4 while the second p ace Washington Senators lost to Cleveland 9 to 6. The Indians broke Washington’s 1 winning streak which had extended to 12 games, by hitting Sad Sam Jones hard in the early innings while Milter and Harder managed ’ to keep the Senators at Bay. The New York Yankees got 19 ’ hits at the expense of three St. i Louis Hurlers and turned in a 16 , to 5 victory. Detroit defeated Boston 7 to 6 in the other American League con-! test. The two teams made 39 hits, j he Tigers turning in 19 of them. Yesterday's Hero —Earl Averill, !

SHOWERS BREAK INTENSE HEAT IN SOME PARTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEI New York and Boston reported a total of 12 deaths. The broiling sun set In motion wheat harvesting in central Illinois where the grain had been ripened I prematurely. Farmers elsewhere ' greeted the heat wave as a boon to their growing crops. Chicago's beaches, where 360,000 persons were estimated to have sought relief yesterday, were covered today with even greater throngs as the Saturday half holi ! day released multitudes from the, overheat 'd loo<p. | Sizzling summer heat continued in Adams county today and pre-’ j dictions were that the mercury | , would reach a new high mark for the summer. Temperatures in the ' county hovered around the 90 de- ! gree mark yesterday. No damage has been done in iI he county fr,.m the h.?at, and while rain is needed, many farmers are of the belief that the crops ] ran at this time withstand more ' hot weather without rain. Creeks and ditches in the counts’ are quickly reducing their depth] of water because of the dry weath i er and the St. Marys and Wabash I rivers are below their usual ! summer depth. Indianapolis.
