CHICAGO SOX BEAT YANKEES White Sox Nose Out Yankees In ThirteenInning Battle Chicago, July 21- XU.R)—A crowd of 10,000 sat through three hours and 15 minutes of baseball and watched the Chicago White Sox put up a determined fight and, finally, win out over the New. York Yankees, on Luke Appling's single tn the thirteenth inning. The score was 7 to 0. The St. Louis Browns went into fifth place by defeating the Washington Senators. 7 to 4 here. Blaeholder allowed nine hits, the same number as the Browns* collected, but Knott was called to, his rescue when the Senators oc-' copied all the bases in the ninth. Jimmy Foxx hit his 29th home’ run of the season to enable the! Philadelphia Athletics to nose out the Detroit Tigers 5 to 4. With the score tied at four-all. Foxx.' first man up in the eighth, caught one of Hamlin's deliveries and lifted it over the center field wall , Go-slin and Owen hit homers for Detroit. Cleveland defeated the Boston Red Hose, 5 to 3. A rainstorm which held up the game for 45 minutes seemed to refresh the New York Giants, as' they came from behind a 4-0 score to win 11-5. Ernie Lombardi was the big | factor in the Reds' early lead, his j single scoring two in the second and his homer in the fourth bring ing in another. Eleven men batted in the Giants’. fourth, banging out seven hits for as many runs. Moore's triple with: the bases full provided the big punch. After setting down the first 20 i men in order without so much as a scratch hit, Tex Carleton had the misfortune of grooving one to I Wally Berger in the seventh and the ball was promptly deposited in the left field seats. It was Berger’s twenty-first homer of the season and gave the Braves their only tally as the St. Louis Cardin als triumphed, 5-1. Chicago at Philadelphia was rained out and Pittsburgh at Brooklyn will be played later.

Os this amount only $9.960. 28 has been charged against the homesteads and will be prorated among the 48 purchasers of homesteads. The largest single expense the homesteads corporation has spent so far is the $7,982 to the Almira Cade estate for the purchase of the 79.82 acres of land purchased south of the city. The government authorized the payment of SIOO an acre. Two payments made to the architects. McNally and Quinn of Chicago, total $1,200.

Administrative expenses for the i homesteads including the salaries I of the three paid employees, A. A. Watrous, project manager, George Andrews, chief accountant and disbursing agent and Evelyn Miller, secretary, total $792.28.

TENNIS COURTS NEARLY READY i Asphalt Court Probably Will Be Ready For Play Next Week I Ira Fuhrtnan, chairman of the] ■ athletic committee of the Decatut | I school board predicted today that ; i'the two tennis courts being con-i jstructed east of the Decatur high school athletic field will be ready 1 for use by the latter part of next i week. I These courts have been oiled and will be covered with a prepiaration similar to asphalt. After the asphalt is layed and rolled it i will be necessary to bank up the I dirt around the courts in order to make smooth playing. As soon as the back stops are 'erected and the courts lined off I they will be in condition for play, j The manufacturers of the surfacing compound state that only a short time is necessary for the asphalt to harden. Progress on the courts on the new city lots in the south part of town have been delayed by the lack of rain necessary to settle the ground. The courts were ditched and covered with several Inches of i trucked in (Lay. There has been . scarcely any rain since this work was done. Attempts are being !made to sprinkle the courts with a fire hose. As soon as it rains the grooves left by the big roller used to level the ground will be taken out by a !small two wheel roller, it is probable that two or three weeks will be necessary before these courts are ready for play. Extensive Damage Caused By Quake I Port Armuelles. Panama. July 21 i —(Via tropical radio to United i Press)—A violent earthquake occurred here at 5:45 A. M. (EST) * today, causing extensive property damage. Early reports indicated that no one was seriously hurt. About lb houses were partly ruffed The United Fruit Company's dock : was practically destroyed. Three banana conveyors, huge trolley-Uxe devices which transfer the fruit from the dock to ships, , were wrecked.

i , construction of the houses and other expenses. in extending the water mains to the project the city spent $9,106.52 for material. All the labor was - furnished by the federal funds in I the form of CWA and FERA - wages. Since the organization of the FE • RA here the government spent $6,t 653.12 for labor. This includes t both relief and non-relielf work, f The men dug ditches for the wat--1 er main, leveled the grounds, and t are now preparing the road beds, t 1 The' old CWA through which ; channels the original labor used > in the preparation of the grounds f was paid spent $6,653 12. A CWA appropriation of SI,OOO -> was also made here for materials i to be used with the CWA labor. - This fund was administered by 3 James Elberson as president of the board of directors of the Home e steads corporation. The money s was used to purchase fruit trees. . stones for the entrance gates, blue ? prints and other expenses. Approximately $7,000 has been '. spent by utilities in extending or 1 installing their services at the pro a ject. ;- Approximately three-fourths of the money spent here has been t used for labor. At one time about 0 ; 150 men were working at one time J , lon the project. The number has ■- seldom dropped below 20. At the e present 27 men are preparing the e beds for the roads and drives in e the project.

— I Decatur Homestead Project Differs From Others Built By The Goucrnment I

Only one of the 48 subsistence, il homesteads being built by the government is more advanced than the Decatur project, according to t information received by the subsi-. s stence homesteads division of the a 'department of the interior at Wa * shington. { This project is of an entirely dis . ferent nature than the one here. It Is being constructed in West t Virginia in the coal mining district where the miners have been stran ; ded by the closing of the mines. A ( furniture factory was built there ( and the miners will be taught to p do cabinet work. The Decatur experiment is different in that all the purchasers of houses will be expected to have ‘ jobs which earn enough to make ’ the small monthly payments. , Decatur was selected because of ‘ the large number of diversified industries here. At the present time ‘ there are over 75 industrial plants'. . here whi h employ from two or 1 three men to 31)0. The purpose here is to demon- ! strate the pra.ticalbility of providing modern homes to small wage earners at a cost not much exceed- j ing that of rent. The home owner, of course, is required to pay taxes, utility bills, insurance and other expenses in addition to the purchase cost. The Decatur project is different than many others in that the plot of ground with each homestead will not exceed two acres. Some of ilthe homesteads have plots up to ' I ten acres. On the larger plots the j homesteader is expected to raise [ i truck, cows, poultry, pigs, and produce for sale on the market to proi vide cash for himself. Industrial employment here i| i expected to furnish the cash. The Jland is only large enough to fur- . I nish the homesteader and his famI lly with fruit, vegetables, and ; i poultry for his own consumption. . He is expected to care for his gari den, orchard and poultry by himself. with the help of his family. The theory of the local project [ is to reduce the cost of living for . homesteader in good times and to i provide him with a means of existI ence in times of depression. , The homestead is a long time experiment which explains the dei lay in getting them started. Adei quate preparations must be taken . to make the project permanent. ■ It differs from CWA, FERA, PWA ’ and other similar programs in that

it is not an immediate means of. helping depression-stricken citizens. Besides the economical side of! the project the subsistence home- j steads have commendable social i and health programs. The home- . steads are planned to aive factory ' workers an opportunity to get the j fresh air. The fact that the homesteader | owns his own property is calcula- | te I to- niawe him a better citizen. ' His children will have room to ■ play. A special drive will be built ; to enable the children of this pro- j ject to get to the south Ward i school without the necessity of crossing a railroad track. The park in the center of the | project will be maintained by the i homesteaders as a community pro-1 ject. In planning the park the ; architects made provisions for a | baseball diamonds, tennis court and other points of amusement. The best landscaping engineering ability of Purdue University's agricultural faculty was drawn up-1 on to make the project attractive.! Trees and shrubs have been plan-1 ted which in several years will make the homestead one of the beauty spots in the city. Every effort has been made to I make the homesteaders realize | they are not in a factory-built ■ home section. The houses are located on sweeping drives.
