DODGERS HAVE HIGH HOPES

Have Climbed Into Third Place To Trail Leaders By Two Games — New York. Aug. 15—(U.R)—The i Brooklyn Robins, boasting 19 vic- ' tories in their last 24 games, began their final swing of the Nat- ! ional league curenit today with I their pennant < hances at stake. The Robins were a poor seventh three weeks ago and counted out of the running but were only two games behind the pace-setting Chicago Cubs as they opened their tour at Pittsburgh. They are only a game and a half behind the secI ond-place Pirates. Noted as a poor road club, the Dodgers set out from New York last night in high spirits even though they lost the second game of a double header to the Giants. 8 to 4. after they had won the . opener, 2 to 1, to stretch their ' winning streak to six contests. A home run by pinch-hitter Johnny Frederick with two men out in the ninth inning enabled Brooklyn to tie the score in rhe ninth inning of the first game and they won out in the tenth 'on a double by Wilson and Cuccinello's single. Even though they split even. »he | Robins picked up a full game on the Cubs who dropped a doubleheader to the Cardinals. The Cards won the first game, 2 to 0, behind the seven-hit pitching of Tex Carleton and took the second game. 2 to 1, in 10 innings. Orsalti's single scored Gelbert with the winning tally and gave Dizzy Dean victory in a great pitching battle with Guy Bush. The Boston Braves slipped to fifth place in the standings and they dropped bot hends of a twin bill to Cincinnati. The Reds won the first game, 3 to 1. as Red Lucas allowed the Braves only seven hits and took the nightcap. 9 to 3. I Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were idle. Vernon Gomez, star southpaw, became the first major league pitcher to win 20 games this season when he hurled the New York Yankees to u 5 to 4 victory over Washington. Balk' Ruth hit his 33rd home run of the season, i Jimmy Foxx hit a triple with i the bases loaded and liis 43rd home run of the season to help Rube Walbert turn back the Boston Red Sox. 6 to 1. in the first game of a doubleheader but Boston won the nightcap, 2 to 0, behind the excellent pitching of | Young Johnny ‘Welch. Welch allowed 8 hits but kept them scattered. ' Bump Hadley of the Browns shut-out the White Sox. 5 to 0. in the first game of a double-header. The Browns also took the second contest. 9 to 5. garnering 16 hits off four Chicago pitchers. Tommy Bridges of Detroit hurled his third low-hit game in a row when he blanked Cleveland with five hits, 3 to 0. In his previous start Bridges had allowed three hits and the tmie before that only one safety.

EFFORT MADE TO DEVISE NEW TAX RAISING METHOD I CONTINUED FROM PAGB ONE I to the governor immediately. Indianapolis, Aug. 15. —(U.K) An 11th hour rush to create new revenue in Indiana was on today witli tiie emergency session of the legislature due to terminate shortly after midnight. During the waning days of the a session the light for new revenue sources has become more pronounced. Since passaage of teh $1.50 tax limitation law many legislators who backed that measure have thrust their support behind the search for additional income. Meanwhile scores of other relief measures clogged the dockets of I both houses. Many still in committee or on second reading were j doomed to’discard because of insufficient time for consideration. ' Il was expected, on the other hanfl, that rules would be suspended in a few instances to rush bills through to the.governors desk. Apprehension on the part of some legislators who feared that Governor Harry G. Besiie would abide Iby his consitutional right and re- ; fuse to accept bills passed* Saturday or today were quieted following Leslie’s announcement that all j measures would be given “cour- , teous attention" by him. One measure, the Hoffman sales i taax hill, is pending in the senate. It was defeated once but appeared to gain favor after passage of the tax limitation measure. Other plans which may be pre- ; sented to the senate by its special 'committee appointed to design a I new revenue source were, a graduated tax on new incomes, a store

IN spite of the fact that the American Davis cup team failed—by the narrowest of margins—in the attempt to win back the most famous of tennis trophies from the French defenders, the recent matches at Paris showed clearly that next year it will be another story. Ellsworth Vines’ great victory over the famed Cochet was the tipoff. When the gangling California net marvel came from behind to literally blast the great little Frenchman off the court with his terrific smashes, the death knell was sounded for France’s 1933 Davis cup chances. It became all the more evident that this will be the last year of French tennis supremacy when Jean Borotra announced immediately after the recent matches that he had positively played in his last Davis cup singles.

license tax. a flat rate on persons ' and corporate incomes. Senator J. Clyde Hoffman, Rep., 1 Indianapolis, a member of the t special committee, estimated that ! his measure would raise approxi- i mately $5,006,000 and balance the < budget 1 It was reported unofficially by!' the committee members that be- * cause of nearness of adjournment 1 the report probably would be in 1 favor of a sales tax. Both houses, they pointed out, could scarcely i be expected to concur in an income < tax in a single day. i The salary reduction bill, tossed; 1 about in the legislature for more ! than two weeks, still awaited house ‘ i oncurrence today. After the house ’ passed the bill and sent it to the 1 senate, it was amended to provide p that all wages more than SBOO a u year would be lowered according to the Hoffman uniform reduction 1 formula. Under this plan, salaries i would be cut beginning at 5 perp cent and continue to 25 per cent, i; House conferees on the bill were i cf the opinion that the house plan of cutting salaries on a designated I basis for specified sums was more; I simple than the senate amendment.!'

The budget bill, subjected to as much debate as the salary bill, was h signed by the governor Saturday., It reduces the budget from $13,-! 728.437 set by the 1931 legislature to $12,109,822. The bill also prevents increases in employes’ salaries or in the number of employes without approval of the budget committee. Among the 14 bills signed by the governor Saturday was a measure that declares a moratorium on penalties on delinquent tax payments for 1929, 1930 and the first half of I 193’1. The state tax board had branded this measure as having

The popular Jean, idol of the French tennis fans, is no longer your?- tennis players go, and he cannot stand the strain of the gruelling Davis cup singles competition. Borotra’s wonderful victories over both Vines and Allison made him the hero of the recent cup matches; but as he himself said later, “It was a miracle that I lasted through the two matches, and miracles happen only once in a lifetime.” The American doubles team, Allison and Van Ryn. proved themselves the best in the world when they won from the veteran French pair, Cochet and Brugnon; and next year they should find victory in the Davis cup doubles evert easier, since the Frenchmen are both apparently on the down grade. Wilmer Allison the slim Texan, was a real hero in spite of the fact that he lost both his singles matches.

“disastrous” results. No Hope For Bill Indianapolis, Aug. 15.—(U.R) —Bit-1 ter wet and dry lines drawn in the • legislature less than an hour after it convened became sharper than . ever today as the session waned to' a close. With adjournment at mid-; night, legislators stubbornly refus-; ed to make concessions that might! lead to agreement on a bill for re-1 peal of the Wright “bone dry” law.; Politics was injected more prom-1 inently into the issue as a confer-, ence committee pondered over a re-; port scheduled to be made this ■ morning. Ivan C. Morgan, state; Republican chairman, informed the i committee that he was not in favor of the referendum plan placed ] in the bill in a senate amendment. Originally the bill called for repeal. of the Wright law. Lieutenant Governor Edgar D.I Push held out for tha referendum. | Democrats of the house struggled! for elimination of the referendum | and restoration of their original l bill. Conferes on the bill were baffled both by the issue and by advice of j their officials. The house members i ion the committee, Jacob Weiss. Dem.. Indianapolis, and Howard} Grimm. Rep., Auburn, both wets, were informed that the hiuse opposed strongly the referendum plan. The senate conferees, Lonzo Shull. Rep.. Sharpsville, and Thollie Bruley, Dem.. Boston', both “bone dry” were directed not to concur in the outright repeal proposal. o BIG LOSS SHOWN IN ASSESSMENTS MADE BY STATE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Monroe . . 2D,021.00 16,986.00 Berne 276,984.00 244,061.5(1!

W’ilmer ran into a lot of tough luck. Rather frail of physique and possessing none too much stamina, he was forced to play in both singles and doubles because of the collapse of Frank Shields’ game, and he cer- I tainly did himself proud. In that crucial match with Borotra he had the Frenchman at match point, only to be deprived of victory by a doubtful decision on the part of a linesman, who called one of Borotra’s serves good, although the great majority of onlookers believed it to be out. As for the sensational Vines, his wonderful playing in the last three sets of the Cochet match definitely established him as a w -thy successor to Tilden. In that match he showed the French some of the greatest tennis ever seen, and his game is improving every day! Copyright, 1932, King Features Syndicate. Ine.

18 KILLED BY HURRICANE IN WEST TEXAS CONTINUED FROM PAGF? ONE grasp, and crushed it like a giant closing his fist over a flimsy match box. Wreckage of the houke was scattered over a quar-ter-mile area. 8. E. Giesecke, 25, Houston, was attempting to start his automobile when it stalled on a highway near Angleton. A piece of timber, swirled along by the winds, struck him in the side. He died in a Houston hospital. The small towns of Freeport, Angleton, West Columbia and Velasco, on the gulf shore about 50 miles southwest of here, suffered heaviest damage. Seven fatalities were centered near Freeport, a popular fishing resort. Galveston's sea wall protected that coastal city from the winds and high water. The waves buffeted against the masonry but were .repulsed. Galveston residents, warned to stay within their homes listened to the high winds and recalled stories of the hurricane of September 8, 1900, which killed 7,000 or more persons and caused $25,000,000 damage. The stricken area extended along the coast line from Port Arthur to Corpus Christi. A short distance west of Galveston, it veered inland.
