CARDINALS BUY PHILLIE HURLER Acquisition of Phil Collins Strengthens Pitching Staff New York, May 8.- <U.R) 'Fidgety' Phil Collins, rightha tided ace of the Phillies, reported to the Cardinals today, giving the world champions their fifth starting pitcher ami ostensibly bringing them hope of relief from the embarrassment of nesting in fourth place, behind even the Dodgers. in the National league standing". Acquisition of Collins yesterday in a. jflraight cash transaction added an experienced winner to a pitching staff none too s urdy beyond the Deans and composed | of Bill Walker, W ild Willie Hi!-I lahan. and a hullpen full of rookies and relics. With Collins in uniform, rhe t’artlihhlß were scheduled today to begin their twice postponed s art of the Brooklyn series. The Cardinals can. by winning today, knock the Dodgers out of third place and renain in position to take advantage of any lense by the league-leading Ciants and second-place Cubs. The Giants, in front by so scant a margin that the fourth-place Card-3 are only two games back, retained their position yesterday as rain washed away all National. league games and one of four in the American. The White Sox increased their | lead and simultaneously knocked the Yankees out of third place into a tie with the idle Red Sox by beating the New Yorkers. 4 to 3. Chicago moved a half game further ahead of the Indians, rained out with the Red Sox. and did it with an attack that drove Lefty Vernon Gomez from the hill. In front for the first time since the first week of the 1933 season, the present leaders found Gomez for seven hits and scored all their runs in the first two innings. The Sox then settled down while the veteran Ted Lyons went on holding the Yank'es to sev n •- fetles. One was a homer by with Gehrig on. Detroit got five-hit pitching from Tommy Bridges and beat the Athletics, 5 to 3, on 12 hits allowed by Cain, the loser, and Marcum. Moses hit a homer in the eighth with Foxx on. Whitehill scattered nine Brown hits and Washington won. 7 to 3, from the whole St. Louis pitching staff. Yesterday’s Hero — Ted Lyons, White ‘Sox. who pitched a sevenhit game to beat the Yankees.

RELIEF LEADER GIVES ACCOUNT Hopkins Defends Administration Os Federal Relief Funds Washington. Muy Xy-(U.R) Re-j Hes Administrator Harry L. Hopkins vigorously defended administration of federal relief today in accounting to the senate for $3.000.1HN1.000 spent by FERA. He defended his "crack down” methods agalnat Illinois and other states which failed to meet his requirements for slate participation and said the primary consideration in determining state allotments was "need—need among the unemployed." Hopkins’ report was in response to the Couzens resolution authorizing the senate appropriations committee to investigate FEHA’s allocation of federal relief funds. It was addressed to Sen. Carter Glas-x. D.. Va„ chairman of the committee. Ninety cents out of every federal relief dollar has come to needy, Hopkins said. The remaining 10 cents spent for adminis’ratlve costs was “not exorbitant.” he said. State allotments, he said, were barred primarily unon "need and the economic cnaaclty of each state to bear the taxes to make available their share of the | cost.” Hopkins estimated average reI lief this year at S2B to S3O per I family per month. This included i | food, such shelter as relief recip-1 | ients may secure with their funds. | whatever clothing it is possible to buy. sickness costs, and other ordinary expenditures. Before determining economic capacity of each state, he said, it . was necessary to estimate the I total contributions that might [ reasonably be expected from all j states. “In 1934," he reported, “such 1 contributions amounted to $409.- [ 435.735 out of a total of $1,478.406.447, or 27.7 per cent. It was believed that were all states to [ contribute in accordance with. and local contributions would be! between $500,000,000 and S6OO,- > 000.000.” “The determination of need.” i he said, ’ begins in the individual [ counties where applicants for aid - are investigated. The sum total; of the minimum needs of the:e persons who are found to be I eligible for aid forms the basis | in the final analysis, taking into I account, of course, local and state ! funds available, or the allotments, made month by month to the [ several statees. “It. is not the function of FERA
