GIANTS ADD TO LEAD IN LEAGUE New York Heats Philadelphia To Lead Hy Three Games New York, July 28. — (U.R) —The New York Giants stretched their lead to three full (tames over Chicago by beating the Philadelphia Phillies. 6 to 3, which the Cubs were idle. A four run rally In the second, on singles by Ott. Ryan. Mancuso and Schumacher, a double by Joe Moore, aud a Philadelphia error, gave Schumacher a safe lead on which to work. A home run by I Verge*, after Lieber's single, in the 1 third gave the Giants their other j two runs. Schumacher had the Phillies at bay In all but two innings the , sixth, when Bartell's single, a w ild pitch and two infield outs scored one, and tho eighth, when John Moore lifted one into the right field stands after a single by Chiozza. I Hansen and Johnson worked for j Philadelphia, allowing ten hits, ; while Schumacher gave up seven. That "youth will be served" was borne out effectively, whe naneb nt Jess Haines and Young Bill Swift engaged in a tight pitching battle r for six innings, with the older man givig way in the seventh to allow three runs across the plate. The [ Pirates triumphed 4 to 0. with Swift being separated from seven scattered hits. Five hits without a run had been made by each side up to the Pirates’ seventh, when Snhr led off with a triple. Traynor, Thevenow and Grace followed with successive singles. Mooney replaced Haines in the eighth and a walk to Suhr, followed by Travnor's single and a long fly gave Pittsburgh another tally. They were the only National league games carded. Cleveland at St. Louis, doubleheader, was rained out. No others were scheduled. o Night Horse Show At Indiana Fair Indianapolis, July 2S —Starting the 3d day of the Fair. September 3d at the Coliseum the Indiana State Fair will present America's finest and largest horse show. People from all over the middle west will follow their favorite stables to the tanbark arena of the spacious Coliseum to see the best horses in 1 the world compete for $18,750.00 i in prize monies, the most ever offered in premiums at any horse show ever held. This money will be awarded WITHOUT REDUC- ! TIONS which is a feature well appreciated by the horsemen of the country for the reason that at : many fairs and expositions the advertised amount is reduced when the prizes are actually awerded.

COURTS READY BY NEXT WEEK, — Asphalt And Clay Tennis Courts Are Near Completion Ira Fuhrman, chairman of the j athletic committee of the Decatur school board, announced today that i the four new courts being constructed by the board with FERA labor will lie ready for play by the middle or latter part of next week. FERA workers are now installing the center hack stops and the net poles for the two asphalt courts 1 being constructed on the high school athletic field. The last coat of oil will probably be poured on , Monday. The court will then be J sanded, swept and lined. Lack of rain has delayed the two courts on the city lot in the south part of town. These courts are clay and it is necessary that they be packed down well with rain before they are in good condition. The school board, however, has determined to go ahead and finish , rolling them. The rain this week was of some help. Mr. Fuhrman pointed out. today, that after the l courts had been packed down by play this year and rolled next spring they would be two and the best In town.

RAGES SUNDAY AT WINCHESTER Prominent Drivers EnterI ed In Dirt Track Races Sunday Winchester, July 28 (Special)— Everything was In readiness here j today for what is expected to be i the fastest race ever run on a dirt 1 track in the history of auto racing. The world's best drivers have | entered the fastest cars ever built ! for the competition in the four races which are scheduled to start at 2:15 C. S. T. on the historic j Funk Motor speedway. Time trials at which Mr. Funk predicts the ; world's half mile speedway of 22.- ’ S 5 seconds for the half mile circuit will be broken, are scheduled to start at noon. Both trials and races will be conducted by the contest board of the American Aut- ! omobile Association Included in the long list of brilliant drivers who will face the starter’s flag are A1 Thieson and Doc McKenzie, leaders in the midwest auto racing championship, both of whom have enviable records on the midwestern tracks this year. Thieson will drive the Vance special. owned by Johnny Vance of Dayton, 0., %nd McKenzie will drive the 220 Miller in which he \ has appeared this year. There is | some hard feeling between the j two lads, due to a challenge hurl- j ed at Thieson in Greenville, 0., j and to date unaccepted. Maurie Rose, second place win-1 ner at Indianapolis will be at the j wheel of the famous Marx-Gtlmore ! Special which is powered with a 255 Miller motor, and rated as the fastest dirt track car ever built. He likewise is out to reclaim laurels lost while piloting a car not up to standard of the fast steel. Babe Stapp, former Boyle Valve team mate of "Wild Bill” Cummings hopes to have returned from California in time for the events with I a new 255 Miller. o ——— Boston Braves Pitcher Finally Acquire Control Boston (U.R) — Fred Frankhouse o( the Boston Braves, one | of the outstanding National j League pitchers of the season, j finally has acquired that essential | quality of a successful hurler.' control. In winning 12 games against two losses up to the end of June, j Frankhouse gave only 31 bases on j balls in the 18 games in which he worked—an average of less than two passes per game. During his years with the St. Louis Cardinals and his tirst year with the Braves iFrankhouse's effectiveness was ruined by wildness. But Manager Bill McKetchnie of the Braves had confidence that Fred could some day bring his jughandly curve under control, a confidence which now seems to have been justified. - —oReleased Ball Player Hitch Hiked to Coast Greensburg, Penn.
