BRAVES MAKE GOOD SHOWING 1 New York. May 26—4U.R) — Consistent >■ good baseball, rather than ' spectacular play, has boosted the Boston Braves to the top of the ! National league. - j ' I Bill McK eclinle's men have done ; ' nothing sensational. They have! driven out only 12 home runs in itlic 24 games play&d. They have' .registered only two shutouts. But the tribe Ins averaged 5.2 ; runs from 9.6 hits per game, while opponents averaged only 4.2 runs fiom .5.7 hits. The two outfielders. Bob Worthington and Wes Schu'merich, and * shortstop Bill Vrbanski have been particularly effective at bat. while .four outstanding hurlers have pitched winning ball: big Ed Brandt. Ben Cantwell, Walt Betts land the 2l)-year-old rookie, Bob, Brown. Brown, who created a sensation!' earlier in the season by downing, Ulie mighty Dazzy Vance in a pitch- 1' ing duel, stepped out yesterday and' slapped unother defeat onto thei Dodger's fastball ace, as the Braves beat Brooklyn, 4 to 2. This defeat | dropped the Dodgers into seventh j, place. Rookie Brown yielded on’y four! hits, while Vance and his relief: hurler. aged John Picus Quinn of! spitball fame, allowed seven. Brook-j |l>n’s three errors contributed to the i defeat. The Pittsburgh Pirates moved ilast the Dodgers into sixih place by downing the Cincinnati Reds, 9 to 4 The Pirates pounded Carrol, Benton, Rixey and Ogden for 12 hits. In his first appearance against | his former teammates, the veteran Burleigh Grimes pitched the .Chicago Cubs to a shutout victory over the champion St. Louis Cardinals, 3to 0. He held them to seven scattered hits. Four home runs featured a slugfest trom which tile New York Giants emerged victorious over the Philadelphia Phillies. 12 to 8.

In the American league, St. Louis at Detroit was called off at the end' of the third inning because of rain. Cleve and at Chicago was washed out. They were the only games scheduled.

FORD'S RUBBER PLANTATION ON AMAZON GAINS Headway Reported In Battle Willi Jungles of South America Detroit, May 26. (U.R) More i• Dan 600 miles up tin* storied Amazon seed is iw'iiig sown by between 2.000 .ml 3,000 nien which Henry Ford hopes will mean the economic rebirth of one of the richest areas u the W-«'i«*rn hemisphere. Since the first announcement hy Ford thut he wdulil grow Bara plantation rubber in the Amazon Valiev for years ago. It is estimated that he has spent more than $8,000,P9O on tlie project. The jungle lias been pushed back as the r te of 1,000 m-res a year, r.nd since the first rubber tree was planted In 1929, more than 4.090 acres of orderly rows of trees have replaced tlie tangled vegetation. 3.600 Miles Fiom New York Boa Vista, just 610 miles from the port of Para and .3,600 miles

from New York, is rapidly taking I form in modern streets, homes nml factories. Hut, it will lie ut least four years yet before any appro viable amount of rubber Is produc i cd. For too years this province ot ’ l’ara was the chief source of the | world’s rubber supply. It reached Hie peak ill I9OS when the Amazon Valley, Including Para and utheiI Brazilian sl ites, as well as portion.of Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador. Peru and Bolivia, exported a total not 40,164 tons. The crash In the South 'American : market came in IBID. There sinl delily appeared ill the New York 1 market, clean, evenly graded cheaper Bari rubber, taken from scien tiflcul y cultivated and operated; ’ plantations in Malaysia, 13,000, miles away. Tills was the beginning of the rubber monopoly which dining and after tlie World War ■ shut prices sky high, and, probabI ly. had a pi rt in Ford’s decision to ■ enter tlie field. While practically all of the 5,000 acres already cleared have been planted with .llevea Brasliiensls. 1 Ford does not intend to use his eu 1 the ricarenctf for rubbtr.
