GIANTS FACING HARD STRUGGLE New York Pitching Is Weaken inn: Boston In Great Spot New York, Aug. 29. (U.R) It the Boston Braves hope to win the National League pennant, this week is their magnificent opportunity. Six games behind the first place New York Giants today, the Braves are riding a winning streak while the league leaders apparently are beginning to slump. In twenty-seven games, the Braves have won twenty-one times: the Giants in their last four contests have lost three and ti d one. After playing three more games; with St. Louis while the Braves j meet Cincinnati only once, the Giants move on Boston Thursday for the fateful six-game series that 1 may decide the pennant chances of both. The giants held first place to-1 day by six games only because the I Braves ran into Red" Lucas of' Cincinnati when he was "red hot."' Lucas turned the Braves back' with two hits, beating them 2-0. j Stacked alongside the Giants’j 12-8 defeat by the St. Louis Cardinals this didn't look so bad. Leading in the ninth inning, the Giant pitchers folded up and the’ Cards scorer! seven runs off Par- , melee, Schumacher and Clark. Meanwhile' Pittsburgh advanced I to fourth place tie with the Cards by scoring two victories over the Phi lies. 9-5 and 9-1. iJtrry French! blanked the Phillies for eight in-; nings in the second game, yielded but six scattered hits throughout.] The Chicago-Brooklyn game was I washed out. In the American League, the Senators, although idle, picked up half | a game and increased their first! place lead to eight and a half games over the New York ] Yankees. With Vic Sorrell hurling a fourhit game, the Yankees bowed to Detroit 6-1. The first hit off Sorrell came in the seventh inning when Lou Gehrig doubled Philadelphia’s Athletics scored!

WOMAN SWIMS THE CHANNEL Swims English Channel From France To England; Behind Record London, Aug. 29 (U.R) —Miss I Sunny Isiwry swam the English ! channel from Cape Gris Nez, j France, to St. Margaret’s Bay. I England, today in 15 hours 39 1 minutes. She was the first swim I mer to make the crossing since j 1930. ’ As she fought her way to the | English coast Miss Lowry passed I i a small parade of east bound : j channel swimmers. She entered the water at Cape j Gris Nez at 6:36 p.m. yesterday. 1 She arrived well behind the record i for women made by Gertrude I Ederle in 1926—14 hours 31 mini utes. The men’s record is in dis I mite. Some record books credit j Venceslas Spacek, Prague news-1 ! paper mechanic, with a 10 hour 45 I minute swim in 1927. Others credj it Georges Michel. French baker. for his 11 hour 5 minute trip in 1926.

Miss Lowry was the first successful channel swimmer since Miss Peggy Duncan, of South Africa, swam from Gris Nez to South Foreland-September 1. 1930. The last man to cross was Ishak Heimy. of Egypt, who crossed in 1928 after so many tries that the books stopped recording them. — o

Form Coal Code Washington, Aug. 29— (U.R) — I The national recovery administra- ! tion was within striking distance j of its first objective today, virtually assured of having all basic I industries under the Blue Eagle I by Labor Day. Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson announced settlement of one of the nation's most longi standing disputes between capital and labor. Last night when he reI vealefi operators of non-union soft I coal mines and leaders of the Uniti ed Mfate Workers had reached a : basis of agreement on a code for the bituminous coal industry. Codes ■ for the oil. steel, textile and atitoI mobile industries already have been promulgated. Johnson said all that stood be- ! tween a coal code was agreement !on wording. Until then, he said, | none of the details of the code I would be revealed. The agree- ; ment was understood unofficially Ito involve recognition of the I union, long opposed by the operators, and a compromise between the union's insistence on base pay of $5 a day and the operator’s

proposal. reportedly materially less. Johnson's statement said: "Committees of the United Mine Workers and of operators in the Appalachian bituminous fields have reached a basis of an agreement covering the principal points at issue and which this administration is willing to recommend to the President. "This clears the way to the preparation of an acceptable code and no announcement of provisions can be made until there is i agreement on the actual wording of the agreement and the code." Negotiation of an agreement obviated the need for the NRA to I impose a code, which Johnson i had threatened to do if an agree- I ment was not reached by today. The deadline was fixed by President Roosevelt. o LEGALITY OF GOVERNMENTS ACTION UPHELD

i (CTiNTTNUED FROM PAGE ONE) ; beyond the bounds of customary : peace-time legislative authority, j has been brought to a test. Jus-1 the O’Donoghue s finding of a national emergency was expected j (p establish a precedent which may prove ot great importance in future legal contests involving the widespread powers delegated the executive branch of the government by congress. The Chicago case grew out of the blanket licensing provision imposed on all milk distributors in that area in an effort by the government to stamp out racketeering. cutthroat competition and irregular practices in that business. The licensing provision

fixed a price of 10 cents per quart on milk. Those attacking the law had been selling "over the countcharged the government had no er" at cents per quart and power to prevent them from con- ' tinuing to do so. O’Donoghue peremptorily terminated yesterday’s hearing on the injunction suit to announce he , would make a decision on the case I today. James L. Fly. special assistant a'torney general, had referred to Chicago wayside •milk dealers as “parasites." Neil Burkinsjiaw and Nuget Dodds, attorneys for the two milk dealers, charged that the licensing provision of the adjustment act was unconstitutional on grounds it deprived the dealers of their property rights. o MONROE NEWS i Mrs. Frank Moore of Indianap- , oils visited her parents, Rev. and Mrs. E.

o SWEET PEA GRAFTED TO ROSE San Angelo, Tex.-- (U.R) —Nature 1 stole Luther Burbank's thunder i here when it caused a sweet pea 1 vine to be grafted to a rose bush at the home of J C. Clements. The I graft came about without aid of man when the vine used the rose I bush as a trellis. The vine wound! itself so tightly about a stem of i the bush that the two became I merged just above a joint. Roses ; above the juncture bloom as be-: fore, but instead of leaves coming I out of the joints in the stem, sweet; pea petals bloom forth.
