BROWNS LOOM AS CONTENDERS Winning of Five Games Places St. Louis In Second Bracket Lead Nev; York. June 27. — eU.RJi —Not that Philadelphia or Washington need have any fears, but the St. Louis Browns are threatening to go scinewhere in the 1931 American league pennant race. The Browns were at the top of the second division today, thanks to a winning spurt of five games, four of them over the world champion Athletics. While their margin over tile Boston Red Sox is only a few percentage points, the Browns have shown enough promise to indicate that the experts who could aee them as no better than a 7th place club when the season started probably are wrong again. First-division may be a little be- 1 yond the reach of the St. Louis aggregation this year but it has a I good chance of keeping ahead of the Red Sox. Detroit and Chicago. The Browns have a great outfielder in Goose Goslin; a pair of nifty infielders in Oscar Meiillo and Ralph Kress; a good catcher in Ferrell, who, by the way is a brother of Wesley Ferrell, Cleveland's no-| hit, no-run artist; and a fair pitching staff featuring Stewart, Collins, I Blaeholder and a rookie by the | name of Herbert. Collins did his bit toward bring-, ing the supporters of the Browns i better days by pitching a 3 to 2 victory over the Red Sox yesterday.; Collins held Boston to ten scatter-1 ed hits and had only one bad inning, the seventh, when Rothrock hit a home run with a mate on base to account for Boston's two tallies. The Browns scored two, runs in the first on two doubles and a single while Bettencourt's single' and Burns' double manufactured I what proved to be the winning run I in the seventh. Pat Caraway s pitcning and hitting featured Chicago's 4 to 3 victory over Washington in the other American league contest played. Caraway allowed the Senators only five hits, two of them home runs by Kuhel, while he rapped out a triple and two singles in three times at bat, and also scored the winning run. The tiefeat dropped Washington a game and a half behind the pace‘ setting Athletics, whose scheduled i game with Detroit was postponedj because of wet grounds. The New; York-Clevelaad contest also was , called off on account of rain. The National league leadership of the St. Louis Cardinals was out to three and one half games when they dropped a 16 to 5 decision to Brooklyn while New York was defeaturing Cincinnati. The Robins knocked Burleigh Grimes from the mound in the first inning and con- ■ tinned their assault on Lindsey and | Kaufmann to collect a total of 151 hits, including home runs by O'-1 Doul, Frederick. Herman and Thur-! ston, who held the Cardinals to nine blows. Will- Walker allowed only four’ hits in shutting out Cincinnati, 2 i

The wild scramble for the title of National Open champion, vacated♦ by Emperor Bobby Jones, is soon to occupy the minds of the golf I kingdom.

SEEK EMBARGO AGAINST RUSSIA (C<INTINUED FORM PAGE ONE)| obeyed. It is assumed that Russia will contest vigorously such an interpretation of the Hawley-Smoot provisions. It would have the right to carry the issue to the courts, acting probably through the Amtorg Trading company. Soviet i business agent in this country. Tender present law, only goods produced by actual convict labor are banned from the United States. Several times the treasury has temporarily held up Russian shipments, particularly lumber, for investigation on this score. A cargo of pulpwood is now being detained at New York pending a ruling by acting secretary of the treasury, I Ogden L. Mills. No such shipments have been kept out so far. But under th=i new regulations, the treasury pro- ; poses to bar not only’ allegedly! goods produced bv convict labor! in Russia, but all 'Soviet products. I It would give to these provisions a significance that apparently was ! not realized by congress. Oongross in the new regulations I defines forced or indentured labor as labor that is non voluntary and is subject to penalties for non-per-1 formance. The treasury view is that virtually all labor under i Soviet rule is of this type. Offi-1 rials cite a decree of the commits-1 ariat of labor issued last Novem-1 her. Th? decree says that skill—l workmen who refuse the tasks offered them will then be put to doing unskilled labor and if they' refuse this will be removed from! the employment register. To tie | stricken from the employment I ! register means that the worker | loses his food book, is deprived of I the right to buy in the stores, and 1 is driven from his lodgings. Russia’s allegied dumping es goods into the United States, as [ into other countries, is a result | of her effort to sell enough to fin-1 ance her own industrial development. She is strapping herself to do this, exporting products, incbid-j ing' foodstuffs, which she could well use. o IfrTownTalk The Adams County Clerk's office , v ill he closed Tuesday afternoon, June 30. at which time the quarterly . report will lie made. !
