BRAVES TAKE SECOND PLACE Boston Moves Into Run-ner-up Position In National League New York, Aug. 23 <U.R>—Just I when the baseball world was be ginning to wonder who would be J the next manager of the Boston Braves, the tribe staged one of 1 the season's most notable uprlsI ings. apparently assuring Manager Bill McKechnie of another con-, ' tract. McKechnie signed a four-year j contract with the club In 1930 : giving him full authority to re- ! build the Braves from the ground j up. and this was Bill’s last season to show results. The Braves haven't won a National league pennant since 1914. and they I ; haven’t finished in first division ! since 1921. But now that the Braves are in • second place and bowling along ! sturdily with 14 wins in their last il7 starts with only 37 games left ■ to play — it seems certain that | they’ll wind up in the upper strata of the circuit, although the Giants' 1 leven-game lead seems too great for the Braves to pare down for; ihe pennant. Boston wrested second place 1 from Pittsburgh yesterday by < beating the Pirates. 5 to 4. when Wally Berger drove out his 22nd homer of the season in the 14th inning. His clout was the second hit off veteran Waite Hoyt who I took the Pirates’ mound in the ; fourth. replacing Hal Smith. Frankhouse went the route for | Boston, allowing 10 scattered hits, j This victory completed a fourgame sweep over Pittsburgh, and ; dropped the Pirates to a fourthplace tie with Chicago. It was the only contest weather ' permitted in the National league. | In the American circuit, the, ' <econd-place New York Yankees I and a half games by shading cut Washington’s lead to seven I Cleveland. 4 to 3. while the Senai tors bowed to Detroit. 10 to 8. i Little Joey Sewell changed from i temporary bench warmer to hero ■ when his ninth-inning pinch sin- J | gle drove in Sammy Byrd with the i Yanks winning tally. Byrd ran I for Bill Dickey who tripled. Sewell I had been benched for a batting , i slump. Lefty Gomez was an Imi portant factor, limiting the In- ; dians to four hits, while Mel , Harder allowed the Yanks nine, i ■ Detroit snapped Washington's ; string of 13 straight victories with j a three-run burst in the ninth, aid ed by Hank Greenberg’s second; homer of the day with a mate aboard. The Senators had threati ened with three runs in their half ;of the ninth. They out-hit the ' Tigers 15 to 14. Philadelphia ont-slugged St Louis. 7 to 6. aided by three home i runs from Lou Finney. Eric Mc--1 Nair and Frank Higgins. Sam West contributed a four-bagger for the Browns. Leroy Mahaffey held the Browns to one hit until the eigjith when the Browns ral- ’ lied for five runs. Rube Walherg succeeded him. Together they allowed five hits. The A's collected 10 off Knott and Hebert. j Ted Lyons and Joe Heving i pitched the Chicago White Sox to i : a double victory over Boston. 8 to ■ i 1. and 4 to 0. Lyons allowed seven i hits while his mates hammered Dusty Rhodes for 15 in the open- 1 | er. Heving blanked Boston with I six hits in the nightcap. o Threaten To Kidnap Child ■lndianapolis.

Senator James Couzens, (Rejm., Mich.) whose criticism of the Hoover administration's banking policies caused Prosecutor Toy to invite Mr. Hoover's testimony, finished his testimony yesterday. o DEMAND LEVY BE RAISED TO REPAY LOANS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of the governor’s unemployment relief commission. It held this week that auditors in federal aid counties must require trustees to levy a rate sufficient to raise money to repay federal relief loans received during the year. Although the loans will not be ic paid next year, the money must be raised, the committee held, because federal aid grants will decline greatly in 1934 and the money raised locally will be needed for poor relief. Amounts raised equal to federal aid loans will be left in county treasuries to be used as needed. That was made a requirement before any further federal aid will
