CAROS GATHER BIGGER LEAD New York, Aug. B.—(U.R) —luste d of the anticipated six team race, the National leagtr champion lias developed into a victory march for the St. Louis Cardinals, who now appear likely to pile up the largest lead by which any team has won the senior league pennant in recent years With their chief rivals, Chicago, New York and Brooklyn, faltering badly and the Boston Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates never having been an important factor in the race, the Cardinals now hold an eight-game advantage over th field. The Cards still have 48 games to play and have an excellent chance! of bettering the 10U game margin by which Chicago won the pennant in 1929 the only time during the past decade that the National league champions have held a big advantage over their rivals. The Cardinals increased their! advantage by a full game yesterday. d feating the second place Chicago Cubs, S to 0, while the other first division clubs. New York and Brooklyn, were losing to Phila-1 delphia and Boston, respectively. Burleigh Crimes let Chicago down ' with seven hits in scoring his fourteenth victory of the season, while his mates pounded four Chicago pitch rs for 11 hits. Pat Malone was the chief victim, allowing seven runs in less than three I innings. The Now York Giants pounded Phil Collins for 16 hits hut were ineffective with men on base ami were defeated. 13 to 5. The Phils made only 11 hits off Mitchell,, Parmalee, Berly, and Hubbell but combined them with 8 walks and two errors. A three-run rally in the ninth gave Boston a 3 to 2 triumph over Brooklyn. Hollis Thurston blinked Boston with three hits for eight innings but weakened in the ninth and retired after the Braves scored! one run and put the tieing and win- j ning runs on second and third base I with only one out. Relief pitcher! Quinn walked Neun to fill the bases and a double by Urbanski gave Boston the decision. Pittsburgh scored seven runs in , the first inning and defeated Cincinnati, 9 to 3. The veteran Red Faber pitched. the Chicago White Sox to a 2 to 0 victory over St. Louis in the only' American league game. Faber allowed only five hits. Blue’s triple and a fly gave Chicago its first run , and Faber’s double and a single by Reynolds produced the other. Yesterday's hero: Red Faber, veteran Chicago pitcher, who hurlrd the White Sox to a 2 to 0 tri- ] umpli over St. Louis.

that they finally had flown out of ! the fog. Point Bthrow's population was I augmented by about 200 | Eskimos, who came from nearby I villages to see America's most' i distinguished flying couple.

T. and 15 minutes later was re-1 ported soaring across the boundary line out of northwest territory and into Alaska. The fliers had waited near their ship since Friday noon, ready to ! take off any minute reports came i in that the weather had cleared; sufficiently to the west. Shortly after 7 o’cloc!"

Today's new offer with reference 1 ito wheat, which would provide purchase of almost 17,000,000 bushels of farm board stock, was [ not expected in view of large Ger-1 man crops.

I‘SOUTH SYSTEM’ PLAN REJECTED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) towns in 26 counties which comI promise the "south system.” I The Public Service company I contended that the entire system | is interlocked, so that each point |is essential for service to the , other. It contended that all ' patrons were entitled to equal j rates, to which the commission | order agreed. I Cuthbertson held that the group plan would discourage discrimina- , lion against, specific cities and that ! cost of would be less if I I the unit was considered us a ' 'whole. He pointed out tiiat similar plans are in effect in other | states. Including California, Penn-! j sylvania, Illinois and New York. Bible School Life Is Shown In Movies Student and academic life at a [great institution of religious training The Moody Bible Institute of! Chicago—as depicted last night at the First Baptist church here ini the film "Life at The Moody Bible! Institute of Chicago,” “The West] , Point of Christian Service,” as Moody is internationally known, was brought home to residents of this community. From the opening flicker to the final fade-out, tiie Moody Institute story was unfolded in all its realism and importance. Rev. M. K. (Cobble, a rtpresentative of the institute, who explained the high [lights of the film, was agreeably pleased at the interest manifested iby local citizens. Students of Moody were shown I in actual, every-day, practical-work I assignments, as well as in the class room and "on their own." One of the striking views was that I where a group of students passed I through the iron gates of forbidding Joliet penitentiary, there to ; spread th? gospel among the unfortunate inhabitants of that penal j institution. I Real adventure is almost com- | monplace to the Moody students, I whose experiences in practical | work carry them into many queer land unusual localities in the great [city of Chicago. Th? film clearly | depicted the experiences of some. As was seen last night, the I Moody Bible Institute is a vital j agency for good, and participates in tiie struggle for a better world [ with its vital message of salvation I and the sending forth of its hun.dreds of trained to-the-niinute Chris- [ tian workers to the ends of the I earth. _o_ DIRIGIBLE TO BE CHRISTENED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ?NE) 146.5 feet high, and 137.5 feet wide.

BODIES WILL BE SENT EAST EARLY SUNDAY (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) small coupe stopped in front of the i Daily Democrat office Friday as-! ternoon’, shortly after the tragedy and was quoted as saying that they saw the accident. They were driving south on State road No. 27 and stopped on the north side of the track. Policeman Arthur Clark and O. L. Vance talked to the couple. They said they were from Chicago. I Their car carried an Illinois license ' piate. The couple was quoted as [ saying that it was the worst acci-! dent they ever saw. They claim- | ed that they saw the bodies of the j three people dragged along the | track. Later in the afternoon an effort I [ was made to reach the couple, i They inquired of Policeman Clark I the road io Willshire and a few hours later were found there. Russell Byers who operates a garage there, found the coupie. They . would not give their names and I I denied that they were eye wit-1 I nesses to the tragedy. They stat-i I ed that they came upon the scene j after the accident occurred. The ! license number was obtained amt was turned over to Attorney C. J. Lutz, representative for the Penn- ; sylvania railroad. Railroad officials will probably get in touch with them. It is likely that the couple did not want to be delayed on their trip and by refusing to give their names thought that they could proceed on their way. Legal Question Arises An important legal question arises in connection with tiie tr'p’.e death tragedy. The presumption is tiiat Mr. and Mrs. Broddy dial first and it probably never will b ■ [ determined which one died first. | It is believed that they were killed | outright. Early arrivals at the I scene state that their daughter Aileen, age 14. breathed a few minutes following the accident. On this evidence it is presumed that the child lived after the death ' of her father and mother. The legal phase of the case is in the event Mr. and Mrs. Broddy had property to dispose of. If her parents died first she inherited all the property from either or both of them. According to Indiana law the child's grandparents would be her heirs, the question arising there being if it would be tiie | paternal or maternal parents to j inherit the estate. Ate Lunch Here Mr. and Mrs. Broddy and daugh j ter Aileen had stopped at the Camp- > bell Service Station on North Sec-' ond street, shortly aftei one o clock. [ Friday afternoon, for lunch. Mr. Broody parked the car on ! [North Second street on the east side I of the stree' in front of the large signboards. He opened the back of •?ie car and either arranged the luggage or removed some article from the car. The three then walked across the street to Campbell's Euper Service Station and lunch room where they had lunch. Persons in the lunch room at the time said that the three members of the Broody family ha.l : emairred in the building for about twenty minutes, laughing ami joking among themselves. When they left the service station the three people were seated in the front seat of the car, the little girl sitting between her parents.
