LEADERS MEET CLOSE RIVALS Giants And Cardinals, Yankees And Tigers Open Series Today New York, July 22 —<1 P) The pa hs of pennant defenders and their bittercet rivals cross today as “crucial*’ series open in both, major leagues. The world champion St. Ixulis Cardinals, only a game and a half, behind the New York Giants, i leading the National league, enter-, tain the easteners in a six game ■ series at St. Louis. The American league champion Detroit Tigers, a half game behind the New York Yankees, clash wish them in a four-game series at the Yankee stadium. Although nearly 10 weeks of play remain, both series are gonrinelv “crucial*’ because the statistical and psychological advant hbps gained hy winners undoubtedly will bolster their pennant chances. Both defending champions have excellent opportunities to f<w from behind and take the load a ; they did a year ago. It was this same series in 1934 that sent the ■ Tigers fn’o a lead they relinquished for only four days in late July. The Tigers have won 11 of their) last 15 starts. The Cardinals have won 15 of 16. Roth Now York clubs are deeidedly on the defensive. The Gian’s, with a crippled pitching staff, dropped | nine games of 17. The Yankees: have won eight times in 15 starts., Since July 4 the Giants* lead has been cut from nine games to m. The Yank-i had two gam- s then and have been fighting hard ever since to stave off the rush- . ing Tigers. The Yankees art onlv a half : game to the good as they meet the Detroit nine. They gained the margin yesterday* by* splitting a double-header with the St. Louis Browns while the Tigers were ■ dropping a 7-6 decision to Boston’s . Red Sox. The Yankees won th-* | opener. 2-0, behind Johnny Broa-: ca’s two hit pitching, and S’. I Louis captured the nightcap in the tenth. 2 1. A home run by Wes Ferrell with two on in the ninth gave the Boston Red Sox their victory 1 over Detroit. Chicago’s White Sox defeated Washington. 4-2, end the Cleveland Indians scored five in the seven’ll to beat Philadr 1-, phia, 6-4.

To Vinci-Glgliucci’s protest, the government was understood to have replied only with a complete refutation of charges by Benito Mussolini that the emperor had usurped power In Jimma state. Instead of explaining his speech or apologizing for it, the government, at the emperor’s order, characterized Italian charges as inaccurate. Consider Situation (Copyright 1935 by UP.) London, July *2.— W.PJ — The

Bri'ish cabinet met in special session today to consider the Ethiopian situation and was understood to have expressed grave concern over Premier Benito Musso- j lini's ambittons in Africa.
