May 21.— (U.R) —'This being the anniversary of the Lindbergh tilght, it is apropos to acclaim the “Spirit of St. Louis" as manifested by Frankie Frisch's Cardinals and Rogers Hornsby's Browns. •‘Flying fools”—both pilots. Frisch sent his Cards soaring front a bottom tie in tho National league to second place, propelled by 16 victories in their last la starts. They are just one from the top. Hornsby, navigating a craft which baseball technicians gave no chance to wing out of the American league celler. has reached tifth place by virtue of seven triumphs in the past nine encounters. The Browns are only one game out of first division. The Cards made their lirst landing. of the season at the polo grounds yesterday, blasted mighty Carl Hubhell off the mound and downed the world champion (Hants, it to 5. before nearly 39.000 fans, it was the largest crowd at the polo grounds this year. The stage was set for a pitching duel between Dizzy Dean and Hubhell, but the latter lasted only live innings. Dean limited the Giants to seven scattered hits, while the Cards collected IX off Hubhell, Bell and Castleman. Three were homers hv Collins, Medwick and Geo. Davis. A fourth was a triple by Frisch with the bases loaded. The Cards replaced Pittsburgh at second position when the Pirates bowed to the Phillies, 16 to 4, after a 23-hit onslaught on four Corsair (lingers. Don Hurst, benched for light hitting last week, led the attack with a double and four singles. Gus Sultr made a Pirate homer. The league-leading Cubs were humbled, 5 to 1, by Brooklyn. Van Mungo limited Chicago to six hits, while the Dodgers drove Lon Warneke from the mound, finding him and Jim Weaver for nine. Boston nosed out Cincinnati, 1 to 0, when Marty McManus' 10th inning single drove in Buck'Jordan with tlie winning tally. Jordan had tripled. Ben Cantwell beat Si Johnson in a tight pitching duel.

It is now generally believed that the “snatch ’ racket has received a death blow in the Golden State. Among the stars who were threatened at various times are Mae West, who took up machine gunnery as a protection; Spencer Tracy, who was warned that his children were in danger if he did not pay; Bing Crosby, actor-singer, and Baby Leroy, youngest and brightest star in the film firmament. Marlene Dietrich, German star, did not have much confidence in regular forces of the law.

ILLINOIS WINS BIG TEN TITLE Victory of lllini Bin Surprise; Indiana Finishes Second Evanston, HI., May 21. — (U.RN — One of the biggest surprises In western conference track and field athletics occurred Saturday when Illinois’ starless team broke Michigan's two-yea.' hold on the championship und carried off titular honors tor the first time since 1929 Illinois won only two lirst pluces, j hut succeeded in gathering a totul !of 45 points.

The meet, which drew a crowd j of 7,500 on a warm spring day, saw ■ three conference records fall Satj urday in addition to the half-mile mark made by Charles Hornbostel. Indiana's bespectacled middle distance ace, in the trials Friday. Although Indiana's Jinx of never having won a Big Ten outdoor track title continued to weave its spell around the Boosters, the crimsonwseatered aiMetes from Bloomingj ton. lad., wrote three of the fuur new records into the books. Ivan Fuqua, curley-haired sprinter, cracked the first record Saturday when he successfully defended his title in the 440-yard dash in +7 $ seconds, braking hi* own mark of 45.6 seconds for the quarter mile | around two turns made last year..

WILL DISSOLVE INVESTIGATING BODY ON MAY 31 (CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE) side attack on NRA by the Harrow board was a charge that it is dominated by big business and allows growth of monopoly and choking of small businesses. And as so ofteu in the past, the blunt, bitter words of the fighting counsel zet controversy storming across the country. Darrow's latest and probably his last effort I for principles he holds dear seemed destined to become his most famous. “The hope for the American people," he said in the report of i

his national recovery review hoard on the NRA, "lies in the planned use of America's resources following socialization.’’ Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson led the attack with a phillipic charging: “A more superficial, intemperate and inaccurate document than the report, 1 have never seen." Johnson called for abolition of the Harrow board. Harrow wants the NRA administration abolished and the federal trade commission substituted in its place. The part the report would t lay ' in congressional debate and the fall elections was uncertain But one thing appeared inevitable—that the NRA was in for such a discussion and re-examination as governmental agencies have seldom had. It was noted that of specific complaints made by the Darrow board concerning the several codes studied the NRA has already acted in a number of inj stances to remove the grounds of | criticism. First newspaper editorial critl- ! ( ism was siding with Johnson in i his claim that the Darrow board ! bad failed in its objective whit h j was the protection of the small | business man against advantages to large firms created by the recovery act. Joining the broad side against Darrow, with as fiery criticism a* ] the 77-year-o)d attorney has evokied since the day of his losing battle against William Jennings Bryan in the Tennessee evolution trial, were Donald Richberg. on" 3 Darrow's colleague, and other officers of the NRA. Darrow today was in his old role again, the familiar mantle of (ounsel for Ihe defense. His defense of the small husiness man was an indictment of the NRA. The count he brought against the NRA was that: Pig business dominates the NRA, allowing the growth of monopoly and choking of small businesses. Bach of the NRA codes studied suffers due to poor administration. The NRA oppresses consumers through sanction of higher prices. Darrow was winding up his Washington affairs today. He appeared little impressed by the news sensation he had created. That has been tlie stuff of which Ids life was made. Being attacked has been familiar to Harrow since the day he undertook the defense of the miners in the Grant anthracite strike of 1902. Summer Extension Courses Announced Bloomington.
