REDS BOAST STAR PLAYER 1 1 New York, Aug. I.—(U.R) —The' Cincinnati Reds haven’t much to ’ be proud of this year hut they at r least can boast of numbering in : their ranks th- best fielding short- - stop in the major leagues, I The gentleman is Leo Durocher, | who started in the major leagues i as a New York Yankee. Its been I; so long since Durocher has blund- ; cred in the field that even Dan i Howley, the Cincinnati pilot, is eon- | vinceil that errors are something that the shortstop doesn't have in i his system. t Durocher. who has played in al-'' most all of his team's games this ; season, hasn't been charged with;an error since May. Sine? he made his last misplay he has handled] 222 chances perfectly. Bourcher handled seven chances cleanly yesterday as the Reds fell victim? ,0 Hay Kremer and the I Pittsburgh Pirates, 5 to 0. Krein-I er allowed tlie Reds only six hits | and although he issued six bases' on balls was invincible in the pinch-: es. The Chicago Cubs advanced to j second place in the National lea-, gue standings when they whipped; the St. Louis Cardinals 10 to 3 be-1 hind the effective pitching of Guy i Push. Bush limited the league leaders to eight hits while the Cubs batted three Cardinal hurlers hard. | The ds feat cut St. Louis’ lead to I. eight and one half games. New York Giants dropped to third place when they lost a 4 to 2. 13-inning decision to the Boston ! Braves. Two hits, two bases on h balls and a hit batsman enabled the , ’ Braves to win out. Seibold went the route for the Braves and yield- < ed only six hits. Brooklyn defeated Philadelphia, i' 6 to 4 in the other National league 1 ! game. A two-run attack in the:: ninth, featured by Babe Herman’s J double, gave the Robins the con-ji t st and enabled them to move j within a game of third place. :: Vernon Gomez was in brilliant i form as he hurled the New York Yankees to a 4 to 1 victory over 1 the Boston Red Sox. No other American league games were scheduled. Yesterday’s hero: Ray Kremer, who pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5 to 0 victory over Cincinnati.

CARD MANAGER IS CONFIDENT ! , By Edward W. Lewis I United Press Staff Correspondent St Louis. Mo., August I—Charles 1 "Gabby" Street, sharp tongued mani ager of the St. Louis Cardinals, has so many pitchers he doesn’t know what to do. Despite that slight worry. Street I has at last cautiously decided that, j barring injuries, the Cardinals will win the National League pennant and are “just good enough” to take I the world series.* The pitching problem is a serious one, to hear Street talk. “I’ve got a wonderful pitching staff. The best in the league, but I've got so many twirlers they can't work often enough,’’ he said as the Cardinals hurried away yesterday after concluding their most successful 1 home stand of the season “It's a fact’’ Street went on. “If they pitch in order, say Derringer, Grimes, Hallahan, Haines. Johnson and Rhem. it's too long between games. They may get stale from lack of work.” “If you ask me why we are leading the league, it’s because I’ve got a 25 man team that is the best behaved group of ball players in the country. We don't have to have any spies to see they keep training rules We're just one big family. "I can put anyone of my 25 men on the diamond and when I see them go on the field I know I will see them play a real game They all work together .and we don't have I any friction. The only idea the boys . have is to bring in the runs.” Street, remembering how a year ago this time the Cardinals were trailing the league leaders by more than 12 games and then won out, Qualified with care his ideas about who would win the National League ponrant. “Pairing injuries I see no reason wr.y we shouldn't repeat. I won't sa••• whether we’ll win 3# gamznw:e or not, but we ought to —BarrI ing injuries,” Street said "AmJ barring injuries, we’ve got a ball club just good enough to take j the world series,” he concluded. — o Textile Working In the manufacture of certain line textile products it is necessary to Impregnate fibers with starch and other chemical agencies to pre serve them while they are being woven or knitted into finished articles. Textile mills employ several types of mold to generate enzymes that digest these “sizing" materials. leaving the finished product fresh, new and impervious to the harsh ministrations of laundering ) achlnery. Spider's Pre- -nee a Benefit Spiders are trot produced from dirt or by hot climates. All species are carnivorous, eating Insects and other spiders, and they are likely to be found wherever their Insect prey may be caught. When they enter n home or building, they do so for the purpose of cleaning oat tiles and other insects. o Rian'* Earliest OccupationAgriculture Is believed to be the earliest occupation of man.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, AUGUST 1. 1931.

FARMERS USE I SPLIT CROPS TO BEAT DROUGHT Mississipians Plan To Sell Something Each Month Jackson. Miss., Aug. 1. — (U.R) - Mississippi farmers this year are going to "sell somthing every j month of the year.” j All over the state tillers of the soil are adopting a program sponI sored by agricultural officials which calls for crops to be ready at given and scattered periods, whereby the agrarians will receive practically a monthly increment. “The farmers probably won't get rich with the system they are going in for this year, but at least they will have something coming in from time to time and not just live a half-moneyed, half-broke year, says J. Ed Ruff, agricultural extension agent. Foodstuffs Grown Corn, foodstuffs and garde nvegetables are being produced over the state in large quantities than ever before, so that even it the farmer can't sell, he still will be able to eat. Widespread diversified farming has become a reality following the drought of last year that brought disaster to the Mississippi farmer, according to Ruff. Farmers are carrying out the “live at home" idea and are clashing in on the recommendation of extension forces to balance their farm program with livestock. Weak Markets Lessened Through the “every month” plan, the danger of weak markets will be lessened. Ruff believes, by providing the farmer an almost continuous income that will catch some high and some low markets during the 12 months. The average price received for his products should provide a worthwhile margin of profit, and the year-round program will give work for farming forces that here- 1 tofore, under the one-crop system. ; have remained idle nearly half of ' the year. ——o Planes to War on Mosquitoes Versailles. Mo.— (U.R) —Troubles ; are myriad for the owners of a ! huge hydro-electric power dam. I, and operators of the $30,000,000 Bagnel project over the Osage river near here have encountered a new one. Just when all the condemna- . tion proceedings were out of the way, and the 375-mile long lake filling up, residents along the shore have started to complain about mosquitoes, and dire stories of precipitant malaria epidemics have been floating ar und So airplanes will be us.d to spread a mixture of parts green and tobacco dust along the 1,500 miles of shoreline created by the new lake. o EXPRESS HOPE FOR PRICE RISE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ment was just as lx*arish as now. but that three years later, in 1898, the grain was up to $1.85 a bushel. Traders also found consolation in the fact that wheat was in reality higher here than the world market level. The Liverpool close yesterday was 55%. Counting transportation costs, this was figured at the equivalent of 36 Pents here. While wheat dropped to the record low. July corn closed at the comparatively high figure of 72% cents, a price attributed to the activities of Thomas M. Howell, the modern “old hutch," who buck- : ed the market alone, held it up, and made many thousands for himself as well as ate-w millions for the farmers who had corn to sell. o WICKERSHAM GROUP URGES NEW SYSTEM .rnNTtNTTICD FROM page ONE) seeds to “shake up" the force and 'pttlson his predecessor’s policies >n th° broad theory that they must have been wrong. These reorganizations, taking place in larger cities on an average of about every two years, effectively disorganize police efficiency. the report said, and diminish the protection for which the pul Hie pays. The commission recommended civil service protection for police chiefs, by which they would be removable only for proved cause. This, it said, would remove the element of uncertainty and would enable the. executive to administer his office without fear or favor. Thus would be retained in office men of ripe experience in their joWs. The commission cited the case of Milwaukee, which has had but ; two police chiefs in 46 years. A . Wisconsin law brings iioliee chiefs under civil service rules. MilwauI kee is cited in this and previous Wickersham reports as outstanding among large cities in the

matter of crime detection and prevention. On the other hand, the report cited the classic of unusual case of a recent Indianapolis mayor who made his tailor chief of police. This action he explained thus: “I know that my man is going to lie a good chief because he has been my tailor 20 years. He knows how to make good clothes: he ought to a good chief " The commission remarked that civil service requirements for police chiefs would be violently opposed by politicians, since "in the main the funds which really make successful campaigns pos- ■ sible come from owners and; habitues of vice, gambling and | ijootlegging resorts.” Policemen in general were char-, acterized as of low average men tality and education, inadequately! trained and ill-equipped for their work. The report concludes that more than 75 per cent of the country’s policemen are not mentally equipped for their work. A better system of training policemen was urged as a pre-: requisite to appointment. State-1 maintained police schools, teaching not only technical subjects but also the broad aspects of crime' prevention, child delinquency and other social problems, were favored. It also was suggested that universities include courses in police work. Police schools in New York, Louisville, Ky., Cincinnati and Berkeley. Calif., came in for commendation for their advanced methods. The commission felt that if police chiefs were removed from l politics and police*standards and training generally raised, with I nonconiitant "living wages" for patrolmen, there would We no dearth of high calibre material, j and much of the “furious antipathy against all law enforcement officials” would lie removed. o HOOVER MAKES NEW SUGGESTION (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) tinue all sales but Chairman James ; C. Stone refus'd to meet that eon dition. He promised merely that surplus stocks would be disposed of at a rate calculated to cause the least disturbance of the domestic market. Despite such precautions, wheat fell to below 50 cents yesterday at Chicago. Stcte department officials said ! there had been no discussion with Germany of prices to be paid for any wheat or cotton purchases. George S. Milnor, president of the Grain Stabilization corporation, which holds federal wheat stoics, conferred yesterday with farm* board officials. Milnor told the United Press his presence here had! no connection with possible sales | to Germany. Carl Williams, cotton member of the board, said the board was awaiting a definite proposal from Germany or any other “responsible government." -Any reasonable cred it suggestion, he said, would be entertained. Through the Grain Stabilization corporation, tlie government now holds more than 200,000,000 bushels of- wheat and through the cotton stabilization corporation, it has 1,300,000 bales of cotton. Although the board has received no offer for wheat, it has intimated between 40,000,000 and 60,000,000 bushels would be involved in any transaction with Germany. o Ce!e.*y Production A remarkable result <>t scient'fir cultivation achieved years ago Is celery To obtain this, experiments were curried out with a British weed, growing in rnursliy places and near the aea. By this work the world tins been enrh-hed with those nutty flavored stalks so much In demand. o Effect of Bee Stings The (lublic lieultli service says that if a person were stung by bees until the swelling added one-third to hia normal, size there would be no io'-rciise In weight except in the _mount of formic acid Injected by tile bee Btin-.'T. This would be SO little that It should be ilisre ga riled. Industrial Railroad* Many large Industrial corporations build and operate railroads as adjuncts of their plants.

Judge Wilkerson had. however. 1 I read newspaper stories of “a deal ’| ! with Capone, and he didn’t like j l them. Instead of passing sentence he declared he would not recog- : uize any "agreement" and asked Capone to explain under oath the; i crimes he had pleaded guilty to.; ! As a'result. Capone asked to with-i draw his pleans and stand trial in- j stead. In a surprise session yesterday. ! Wilkerson granted the request for ; the income tax case, setting th”! trial for Sept. 8. He withheld an j I answer in the liquor cases and | I made it clear he Believed Capone; i should be given the stiffest sentence possible. He ordered the ! grand jury to investigate further I the indictments with the view of j making the charges more serious.; During the nearing. Attorney Michael Ahern of the defense de dared Capone believed Wilkerson | was prejudiced. Wilkerson's answer indicated he would grant a! change of venue if requested! This made it a probability that, outside of the further preliminary rulings in September. Wilkerson ’s | through with Capone and his | trials. As things stood today. Capone ! faces one expensive trial for sure, with nother pending and a grand i jury looking for chances to “whoop i it up” enough to make it a Jones j “five and ten" law case. That the gangster may remain | out of prison many more months and possitfly be free even to sell . his beer to the world s fair crowds in 1933 was admitted. It also was' generally agreed that his ultimate fate now appears much darker for him than it did before. Reports from Washington were ' that officials in the department of. , Justice were “embarrassed” by the ! turn of Affairs which Wilkerson I had forced. At the hearings here, i it was stated the Washington officials haq concurred in the agreement to let Capone plead guilty, tak' a comparatively light sent-
