CARDS START i EASTERN TRIP New York, Auk. 11—<U.R>—Philu-j delphia and St. Louis, respective! leaders In the Aitierican and National league pennant races, today I opened their final intersectional road trips of the season — tours 1 which are expected definitely to! Settle the 19t{ 1 world series par- j ticlpants. Philadelphia, enjoying a 10-game j lead over its nearest rival, is scheduled for 14 games against Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis during a id-day iannt, with only one double-header. St. Louis’ Cardinals are in a less favorable position. They lead j by S games, a margin which ap- ! pears large enough to give them victory hut they must play IS games during Id days in the east. Eight of the games are against New Yolk and Brooklyn, teams which still retain hopes of winning the pennant and five are with the Boston Braves, who have been j especially tough for the Cards this year. In addition the Cards mfist play five games in four days in ; the Philadelphia Nationals’ sand box park and the Phils are no | • easy opponent in their home park. , Only one major league game was ' j scheduled yesterday, with Chicago j losing a 4 to 3 decision to Pitts- J . burgh. Pie Traynor’s double with j ( L. Waner on base and two out in j the'ninth inning gave the Pirates the winning run. Pittsburgh got j . 8 way to a two-run lead on two i 1 walks and doubles by Groskloss I and Thevenow in the second but j j the Cutis went ahead in the third j with a three-run attack, featured | by I! ill’s homer. An error by Bell 1 enabled Pittsburgh to tie the j score in the eighth. Yesterday’s Hern: Pie Traynor.: Pittsburgh third baseman, whose | ninth inning doulje with L. Waner, 1 on base and two out. gave the , Prates the winning run in a 4-3 , triumph over the Chicago Cubs. ! , o , Major League Leaders Following statistics compiled by j 1 lif United Press include games of!

j New Orleans. Lemann’s variance with the! views of the other members first; | appeared in the final report on I prohibition. Several commission-! ! ers in the body of the report expressed autl-prohibitisn views, but I j Lemann alone refused to sign the! "dry” conclusions and recommeu- J j dations. In a separate statement lie ques-j tioned whether it was within the | province of (he commission to go j into the wisdom of prohibition in J (lie abstract and expressed opln-1 ion that the 18th amendment I should be repealed. 1 Lemann did not sign the report! severely criticising the makeuft and administration of police systems. He gave no reasons. He! dissented In the leport on criminal | procedure, saying that "generaliza(ious by the commission seem to serve no useful purpose." He am-1 plified his concurrence in the reI forcement hv noting a slight diffport on lawlessness in law enerence of attitude toward the j Mooney-Biltings case. He agreed j j to the conclusions in the report ! ,on prosecutions, but refused to I join in the recommendations. Golf Title Decided Indianapolis, August 11 —(UP> — j The “marathon” golf battle for the [sta’e open title between Neal Mr- | intyre and Ralph Stonehouse, Indianapolis came to an eand yesterday at Speedway course when Mclntyre won the third play-off with a for-stroke margin. It was the third state championship for Mclntyre, who also was vie-1 torios in 1927 and 1929. Mclntyre ended with 73, two over par, and Stonehouse scored 77. o REBELS FIGHT CUBAN FORCES CONTINUED FkitM RAGE ONE penetrating the censorship indicat- ’ ed, and a sharp, brief skirmish J ensued. A commuunique from the I department of the interior confirm- i ed that five refills and a corporal , of the rural guard were killed. Guanabacca is a town of 17,000 p: rsons. The engagement, the first enj counter during the revolt, resulted in President Machado's issuing the I degree suspending constitutional ] guarantees throughout the repubi lie. The president's action followed ! authorization from congress grant- ! ing him extraordinary powers to | suspend the guarantees. Rigid | rule under a stat° of siege already was established in Havana and : I’inar Del Rio province. Prior to the reports of the enJ gagement at Guarabacoa Uiere were rumors of uprisings and one outbreak of violence in Havana. ! Four persons were hurt when striking street ear workers hurled ! a tbmb into a street ear near ; Havana University. Secret police i raided a rural establishment oecu- ! pied by alleged rebels between Marianne and Arroyo, arresting | two men and seizing arms and ammunition. Gen. Maria Menoeal. former I of the rebel movement, was said president charged with leadership | to be in Oriente Province, where I successful Oulnn uprisings have I started in the past. However. i government officials said Menoeal dad tied toward Florida on the Yacht Coral. Disorders were reported In Santa Clara, an important railroad i '“lint. 150 miles east of. Havana. ; Tile reports larked confirmation. Other unconfirmed rumors said ; that G n. Baldomero Acosta, form- ! or mayor of the Mariano district, heading a force of some 500 rebels had attacked government forces in Hi" mountains near Pinar Del Rio.

The American flier had long experience to aid him on the flight j across the North Atlantic, experts pointed out. There was some hope hat Cramer might again have been • forced down at sea and was riding out the storm in his sturdy sea- ’ ; plane. The only other hope lay j in the possibility they had been j i picked tip by a small vessel without radio equipment. Damage to their own sending set would explain lack of word from them since Saturday. All ships at sea along the route believed tak n by Cramer off the Norway coast were asked to watch for the plane and give it every possible assistance. The storm hindered communication with various ships as it was pointed out vessels might have had difficulty in relaying any word of Cramer. The United Press Correspondent at Oslo, Norway, checked all important points along the Norwegian coast by telegraph, in an unsuccessful effort to locate Cramer or learn something of his whereabouts. Norwegian officials were quick to cooperate with the Danish authorities in organizing search parties, held up by the storm. If Cramer landed yn the sea and rode out the storm, his seaplane would be drifting toward Denmark, navigators said. A radio message believed to have been the last definite report from Cramer was picked up at noon Sunday. It said he was flying near Stavanger, on the west coast 1 of Norway, and expected to reach Copenhagen by mid-afternoon. He 1 had been gone nearly 24 hours ■ then since he left Sydero. Sunday night and again at 7 a. m. yest* relay, the navy yard in Copenhagen reported overhearing 1 mysterious wireless telephone sig- ! nals which might have come from ■ Cramer's plane. If Cramer passed Stavanger, a3 1 ieli vptl, the range of the seareli would lie confined to a compora- • lively small area. Cramer attempted the flight 1 over the North Atlantic twice be- ■ fore, once with Bert Hassell from Rockford, 111., In 1928, ami once in the ’untin Bowl's from Chicago. : Both flights failed to complete the cruise via Greenland and Iceland, , scheduled stops on what Cramer believed the safest regular air mail route between the two continents.

' Stephenson wrote that he re ! gretted having to 'take til? position of abandonment on a petition "so unselfishly motivated." "In the unhappy event that in this case law is to be flouted and the constitution ignored, then it will be much better for me to remain in prison and carry on a legal fight in the courts as a protest against the broken bulwarks of justice.” he concluded. Checks to Be Honored Indianapolis August 11 —(UP) — Contracts drawn up under such conditions as attended signing oil the $04,000 statehouse cleaning and ! repairing contract are ii(>aal, attorney geneial James M. Ogden ruled today, but at the same time he held that payment may lie made from the Governor’s emergency con \ tingent fund. After receiving the opinion he had requested, state auditor Floyd E. Williamson said he would honor Governor Harry G. Leslie's checks for part payment to the Cincinnati ( leaning company for the work now in progress. Bride’s Body Found Pittsburgh, Aug. 11 —(UP) —The) >ody of Elizabeth Valek Hart a 19- j year-old bride of a week, believed ' lain by a rejected s&itor after he j earned of her elopement six days i-’o, was found in a woods near Coverdale.

There was bullet wound through ! he heart of the girl, inflicted police j believed by Joseph Snyder, 28, whoj mim ed her to enter the woods with him yesterday a few hours before he committed suicide. LINDBERGHS FORCED DOWN BY HEAVY FOG CONTINUED EKOM PAnpt "'NEt is believed, it will land on the Bering Sea at Nome Roadstead directly in front at the Nome coast guard station. The sea there was rough during the night, but was smooth today. While the Lindberghs spent the chill early morning in iheir plane in about 100 miles, virtually all an fog-filled Kotzebue sound withj residents of Nome were on downtown streets, holding a celebration in anticipation of the arrival lat»r today of the famous couple. The picturesque Indian "King of Diomede” was in town with his Eskimo followers. Dozens of other Eskimos, who had come to Nome to see the Lindl lerghs, forgot their usual stolldness and mingled with the whites, around bonfires on the principal street, shouting an! cheering. Yesterday the famous American llier and his wife spent many hap- j t Py minutes with the Eskimo chil-’j ’ dren at Point Barrow, visited a river bank “stockyards" where fathers were slaughtering reindeers and storing away the meat for the winter, and conversed free- ' ly wherever they went with the northlanders whose manners of living they found so different from | theii own. Several times during the day, ’ Lindbergh gave informal lectures ' to little groups of traders, Eskimos and trappers, urging tli»m to work hard to make Point Barrow an air mail station and thus establish a definite connection with the outside world. [, He contrasted conditions here to Aklnvlk, northwest territory, I where he and Mrs. Lindbergh were storm bound for several days last week. Although smaller, Aklavik > is a mail station, t During the day, rumors spread , that perhaps the Lindbergh trip - was not entirely a “vacation" after 1 all. Hints were given that Lind- - hergh, as technical advisor for Pan American Airways, ro.aliy was making a “pathfinder" flight to - find and map out the best possible I air ’mail route to the Orient. It was said that both Pan Amere lean and American Airways, Inc., e were interested in obtaining con- -! tracts for an oriental mail service r j which they believed soon would ho a established. An official of Aroor- ! lean Airways recently left Alaska i- after an inspection of possible :! routes.
