CHAMPIONS ARE SETTING PACE New York Giants Have Won Six Os Eight Games Played On Road New York. Aug. 20.—(U.R) —The New York Gian’s are bowling along at a merry pace, having won six 1 out of eight starts since they took to the rbad. Their record since August 1 shows they have won 12 of 17 games, a .706 average. A considerable measure of their success may he attributed to the presence of several young men who are extremely adept at laying a length of hickory to a leatherwrapped pippin. The Giants have six of the ten best batters in the | National loop. Four of these —Joe Moore, Bill Terry, Mel Ott and Frank O'Doul — htt .377 or better. Two others. Phil ] Weintraub, the natty young man from Nashville, and Harry Banning are walloping at better than .370. j hut have not gone to bat enough tl-r.es to give them c nsistent rating. No club in either league can ' match the New York outfield, which is now six deep. With Ott. Moore and George Watkins as regulars, and O'Doul, Weintraub and Hank LeTber in reserve, the mass aver- ! age at bat is .325. Yesterday timely hitting again brought the Giaifts safely through

SONG COMPOSER IS FOUND DEAD (CONTINUED FROM PaGF ONEI his wife spent several hours rehearsing a skit which they had plan- ; ned to film. The composer appear-1 ed to be in good spirits, she told officers. Jarnegin left the home in the, early evening to get his niece. Miss Dorothy Watson, who was being ; honored at the dinner, it was her I engagement to William Green, both of Lake Charleston, La., that was being celebrated. Just as they sat down to dinner.' Miss Franklin said, her husband ' told the guests to go ahead while i he "washed up.” A short time: later she said she heard a shot that ' sounded like a cap pistol. After calling to her husband several time to hurry, she walked into the living room and found him dead with a bullet wound below his right ear, Miss Franklin told police. The musical comedy star said . her husband had been moody occasionally since an asserted attack , on them by Lawrence Thomas, 25, their former houseboy. Both Jarnegin and Miss Franklin j were taken to a hospital for treatment following the asserted altercation on July 26. The attack was said to have followed Thomas' dis-, harie. He was arreste 1 later and now is awaiting trial. o— — — 1,000 PRISON INMATES RIOT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) formed of the coming riot by one < f the inmates “five minutes before it happened." “The yarl calptain then." said Warden Lewis, “hastened to convey the news to the rest of the guards. In the meantime, however, the pris nets learned that the news had leaked out, and so started the riot immediate'}', instead of waiting, as they had planned, for a pre- | arranged signal." j When asked if the convicts were firmed witli knives they had fashioned in the workshop, the warden denied this, but added, "during the course ot the riot, the prisoners broke into one of the shops and secured knives. None of the guards was stabbed. It was estahlisaeu that none of the ininred —23 inmates and four guards—was in such a serious condition that death might result. Warden Lewis said he was certain ail would recover. Tlie prisoner killed Saturday was Leo Pieiek. formerly of Chicago. An inqest into his death was opened today under Coroner John Keeley. The prison's printing shop, razed by fire started (by the rioters, will not be reconstructed for some time. Warden Lewis said. SALE OF AUTOS IS INCREASING (CONTINItED FROM FArvE ONE) Used-car sales also made a substantial contra-seasonal gain. “Total Indiana employment at the end of July was down to the level maintained in early March. Part of the July decline was the result of seasonal factors. “Indiana coal mines continued to operate on restricted schedules because of continued hesitancy of industrial concerns, domestic consumers and retailers to ‘purchase coal in anticipation of future needs. “Few lines were as quiet as the limestone industry during the year ending July 31. ' “Automobile production made . less than the usual seasonal deI cline and total output continued > well above the like periods during the past two years. Auto parts and ■ accessories plants were busier than !. during any other July since 1929. ■ ‘ “The decline in electricity proII duction was largely a result of a I reduction in industrial demand.

f There was a slight decrease in the j amount of electriciC consumed as • a direct result of the hot weather. "Refresentative Indiana cities i had increased-- bank debits during July over the corresponding total i for June, despite the fact the past month had one less banking day than June. "Life insurance sales made less ’ than seasonal decline and newspap- ■ er advertising made more than the normal seasonal decline. H wever. i newspaper advertising remained ' above the record low set for July in 1933.” REPORT CAPONE IS TRANSFERRED (CONTTNt'ED FROM PAGE ONE) • » • *-*« * ♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦ • « • • was met by newspapermen, a pri.e(oner who generally resembleJ Capone was spotted at a car window. When the interest of reporters was aroused, guards quickly pulled down the window shade. Capone is known to have been i one of the prisoners on the list of I dangerous criminals selected for I transfer (o Alcatraz. He has been I in Atlanta penitentiary since his conviction in Chicago of income tax charges. o Break Even In Double-Header ‘ The Decatur Floral c mlpany soft ball teacn divided honors with the Wolf and Dessauer team fnem Fort Wayne Sunday afternoon at the S uth Ward diamond. The locals lost the first game 3 to 2, when the visitors scored three runs in the opening inning. Decatur won the sei' nd game, 5 to 1.

ADOLF HITLER IS CONFIRMED AS PRESIDENT i icoNTiNUtcn Phom pagk onki 1 tator in modern civilited history, I sole master ot his country's immed j late political fate, with the power] of war and peace and life and death. I Opposition Increased because of 1! the bloody suppression of the storm troop revolt, the Evangelical church schism, the Austrian troubles and the black economic situation. It was an indication of the serious,ness of the crissls through | which Nazism lias passed since the . i June 39 revolt. The total oppo- I Itlon vote was more impressssive: because it was a courageous man who voted no in face of the Nazi i leaders' statements in their appeal ! for support that he who voted ' against Hitler “placed himself out- . side the nation.” ' Hitler's position remained unimpaired. There was no one in sight i to take his place. Whatever his ! dissappoinlment that he failed to I surpass the November vote, there j ' was no doubt that the counter I overwhelmingly supported him. His | popularity Is greater than that of ] his subordinates and much of the I opposition vote was regarded as a i rebuke for his radicals, particularly such men as Paul Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister. Walter Darre, minister of agriculture, and Alfred Rosenberg, chief of the Nazi party's ' foreign political bureau. The country was cold to their appeal which was a part ot a propaganda campaign that surpassed : any ever staged by the Nazis. ’ The most astonishing increase In the negative vote came in the Koblenz-Trier district, strongly I Catholic. Where 18,788 persons voted no in November, 105,279 voti ed no yesterday. The affirmative vote decreased from 800,760 to 642.- { 600.
