BROWNS CRUSH YANKEE HOPES Leo H. Petersen United Press Staff Correspondent New- York, June 23- (UP)—The St. Louis Browns, who back in 1327 won their way into sports page headlines whenever they held the Yankees to a close score, havfl about sounded the death knell to' New York's 1931 American Pennant hopes. Os course, the championship aspirations of Joe McCarthy’s Club haven't been taken seriously by any one except members of the team since the Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators began climbingl out in front a month ago. But when the Yankees started on their current western invasion they bolted to start a winning streak that would place them within striking distance of the Athletics and Senators. To start the road trip they expected to take five straight from the St. Louis Browns. For after all. the Browns have been the Yankees’ first counsins for years on end. In 1927, for instance. New York won 21 games and lost one to the Browns. Even last year the Yankees won 16 contests while dropping six. But the Browns of today, al-, though at the bottom of the American league standings, aren't the Browns of 1927 or 1930. And the Yankees were well aware of that as they rolled into Chicago today, after taking three consecutive trimmings from the Browns. The Browns sent the Yankees a way with a 14 to 10 lacing. Five 1 ankee hurlers were inet'fei ti>e and • the Browns collected 20 hits. The Yankees rapped out 15 blows, including Gehrig's 15th and 16th homers, but after knocking three pit chers from the box they were stopped by Kimsey. The defeat cost New York an opportunity to gain lost ground for the Athletics dropped an s to 2 vi< • tory to Chicago.

NEW TELESCOPE FOR NAVY TO BE LATEST DESIGN Plans Ready For 40-Inch Reflector With Many Refinements Washington. June 22.— U.R1 —Dr. i George Willis Ritchey, designer of I the 100-inch reflecting type telej scope in use at Mt. Wilson, soon , will build for the' U. S. Naval Obiservatory here an instrument that. I because of several new and secret rc finements, will rival in scientific importance the one in California. I Dr. Ritchey was given the con- ; tract to build a 40-inch reflecting I type of iiretrument shortly after I British scientists revealed plans for the erection of a 36-inch telescope at the famous Greenwich Observa- ] j tory. Naval officials have been at work on plans for the instrument for over three years and sub-contracts , will be let immediately. Dr. Ritchey expects to take about 20 months I for the construction. $225,000 Appropriation The last congress authorized a ; complete modernization of the Nav- i al Observatory and $225,000 was ] appropriated. The new telescope i 1 will cost $76,000. i There have been no major im- i provements at the naval station since the completion in 1873 of the i 26-inch refractor telescope now in . use. i The 40-inch glass cast, from which | the huge lens for the new instru- : ment will be ground, is expected •: to arrive from France within a i month. It was made at the Saint- i ’ Gobain plant near Paris —a plant 1 that has been making scientific in- 1 struments for 375 years. Dr. Richey is enthusiastic over 1 I his new project. The 68-year-old : scientist said he hopes to "erect al: monument torhis 35 years of telescope building. Blueprints Ready He said he has been at work on the drawings and blueprints since I February. He has established a I work room in the observatory's main building. The Mt. Wilson telescope —largest in existence - makes available . about 84 per cent of the light rays. : Dr. Ritchey expects his new instru ' ment to develop 90 per cent efficiency. This will enable the Naval 1 Observatroy staff to produce the 1 most accurate and most detailed photographs of the stars and heavenly bodies ever made. The entire instrument will be float--1 ed in mercury to eliminate friction. Its movements will be synehroniz- : I ed with the rotation of the earth so ' as to cut down the percentage of ' mathematical error. Plans already are taking form for : the dedication of the new telescope. It is expected President Hoover and ether high government officials, as I well as leading astronomers from this country and abroad, will be present. o Loomis Bill Is Signed Madison. Wis., June 23 —<U.R)~ ! Gov. Philip LaFollette today sign ] led the Loomis bill creating ai state corporation for public ownership and operation of utilities. The bill anticipates amendment of the constitution to permit the; state to enter the power business, and provides for current efforts to promote and coordinate municipal- ’ ly owned utilities. Five members appointed by the governor for 10-year terms will I comprise the corporation. LESLIE SCORES HIGHWAY GROUP | rrnNTINFFD FROM PAGE ONE’ for favoritism from the commission, he told the delegaflon that by obtaining truly competitive ] bidding, the state would be aide to save considerable money on that and other projects. He labelj ed the materials fight a “damnable nuisance" in all states. An appeal was aimed at the materials men that, they "use the same methods in selling to the stat,e as they do in selling to individuals- viz.. sell on the merits of- their products, through competition.” Scout Merit Badges Banned - Haverhill, Mass. — U-R? — Boy Scouts here no z longer will wear badges for meritorious marksmanship. Examiners of the Haverhill Council have voted to Abolish such insignia on the ground that the handling of firearms is dangerous and should not be encouraged.

ChamberIlin blamed a small landing field, I with two hills at each end, and a | sun directly in Miss Nichols' eyes, ] for the accident which brought her preparations to a temporary halt. St. John, N. 8.. June 23.-«J,R;i- --. Miss Ruth Nich< Is, 32-year-old Rye, N. Y„ society girl, was undergoing hospital treatment today for injur-j ies suffered when her white and gold monoplane, in which she had planned to be the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean, cracked up in landing here on the first leg of the journey. Although physicians believed Miss Nichols was not seriously injured ■ they planned to make several XRay pictures of her back. They reported that a preliminary examin ation showed she suffered a strain ed back and a wrenched ligament as well as a laceration of the right ■ leg. > Her Lockheed-Vega monoplane i was badly damaged by the crash. The under-carriage was smashed. ■ The engine also was damaged and partly torn from the fuselage. Clarence Chamberlin, trans-At- > lantic flyer and technical advisor > to Miss Nichols, who arrived short- - ly after the crash, was reported in i a conversation with Miss Nichols - at the hospital to have expressed the opinion a new plane would be necessary before she could make another attempt at the long overwater hop. r Miss Nichols took off from the r Floyd Bennett airport in New York -ICity at 3.22 p. m. yesterday to make I a record flight to the airport here.

craft caused her to overshoot the runway and the plane tipped up on its nose. She was lifted from the craft and taken to a hospital. The young woman seemed more concerned over damage to her craft than to her own injuries. Miss Nichols, who holds the world s altitude record for women fliers, as-well as several speed records, started out from New York with a cargo which included three pair of silk hose, chicken sandwiches and a thermos bottle of coffee. Chamberlin followed her, here in his own plane, carrying several newspaper men. She intended to stay here until the fog lifted and had planned to take off. possibly today, for Harbor Grace. Nfd„ where she was going to wait until weather conditions were favorable before attempting to add the solo Atlantic flight to her list of records. She said she was not discouraged and would again attempt the flight] as soon as possible. I Harbor Grace, Nfd., June 23. — \U.F.) Holger Hoirlis and Otto Hillig, who have their monoplane here awaiting favorable weather for an attempted non-stop flight to Denmark, expressed "great sympathy"' today over Ruth Nichols’ crash and attributed it to the condition of the landing field at St. John. N. B. Disappointment was expressed in St. Johns.

SEEK KILLER OF RACKETEER CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) death. “Those reports that I get SBO,OOO a year for running the union are all wrong," said Maloy. “Why, my salary is only SSOO a week.” Prosecutors based their charge that the union was a racketeering enterprise, and in some way connected with Kaufman's death, on alleged evidence that: 1. Kaufman was to have been called before the jury today. He had given information that the union was a racket, giving several thousand dollars a year profit to those in control. 2. Maloy received a “10 per cent cut" from the salaries- of apprentice operators, many of whom were incompetent. 3. His brother, Joe Maloy, head of the city electrical department in granting licenses, was part of : a system, under which non-union i operators could not obtain licenses 4. Union members gave Maloy , a fund of $248,000, out of their salaries to oppose the grand jury in ; vestigation. > Leo Del Marco, 30, was arrested

■ yesterday on suspicion. Police also held Crawford Johnson, a negro • motion picture operator, who accompanied Kaufman to a garage where he was shot. Tests with a lie detector, police said, indicated that Johnson unwillingly ' put Kaufman on the spot." The Chicago Tribune today challegend the new "Scotland Yard" bureau of the police department to prove its merit by capturing Kaufman's killer and investigating the union. j “To all outward appearances" the Tribune said, "the motive for Kaufman's murder will be found somewhere in the inner politics of the motion picture operators' union . . . If the new bureau solves this crime, notice will have been served upon racketeers generally that their day of immunity is over." o Overgrown Catfish Caught Dyersburg, Tenn. — tU.R) J- O.
