CHICAGO CUBS THREATEN LEAD Cubs, Playing Sensational Ball In Past Month, Are Contenders “ New York. July 29.—(U.PJ—The Chicago Cubs, lurking in the background during the recent hand-to-diand battle between the New,York ■(Fants and St. Unite Cardinals for Ihe National league lead emerged "today as genuine pennant contenders. Charlie Grimm's “kid team" has played the greatest baseball in the -majors during the last month. \\ ith ihree rookies —Angie Gw’an. Phil Cava.retta and Frank Demaree in the lineup dally, and sometimes four when Jim O’Dea is catching, the Cubs have won 22 of their last 25 games. They have a 9-game, winning streak intact and are -nly a game and a half behind the lea-gue-leading Gian's. As recently as July 12 the Cubs were In third place. 914 games behind the pace-setters and apparently out of the race. When the Giants started to fold up the < ard-j Inals and Cubs started winning [ drives about the same time but few | paid serious attention to the Chi-; cago uprising.. All pennant talk centered on the Cardinals and the Giants. The: Cubs were looked upon as a thirdplace team playing over i s head.! The Cardinals cracked up after a dizzy pace, and the Giants hold on first place seemed safe aga-'n. Butthe Cubs, who had been stalking the leaders, profited by the crucial New York and St. ixmis series,; passed the Cardinals and leaped on, the heels of the Giants. The Cubs’ big test comes during the next eastern trip, which be-, gins August 14. They have a 10-1 day road trip before coming east, ■ aaid if they can keep close to thei Giants they will make or break i their pennant chances during the ; long swing east. With the veteran Charlie Root | pitching his sixth straight victory . the Cubs beat Cincinnati yesterday.! 11-7. They lost ha'f a game to the; G ants, however, as New York won twice from Brooklyn. 6-0 and 1-0. | Dizzy Dean scored his 16th tri-1 umph in pitching the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh to I snap the Pirates' 9-game winning: streak. The Pirates evened the I score by taking the second game, i 5-4. when Paul Dean walked a man! with the liases filled, forcing in the • winning run. Philadelphia and Boston divided a twin bill, the Phillies taking the opener, 4-1. and the Braves winning the second game, 11-10. Detroit increased -its American league lead to 3 games by defeating the Cleveland Indians. 14-6. After winning the opener, 7-6. the NOTICE! Because of illness.

U. S. DOUBLES TEAM DEFEATED English Team Scores Stunning Upset To Retain Davis Cup Wimbledon, Eng.. July 29 —(U.K) — England today completed a seeond successful defense of the Davis cup, emblematic of world supremacy in amateur tennis, when its doubles team of Pat Hughes and C. R. D. Tuckey scored a surprising 6-2. 1-6, 6-8, 6-3. 6-3 victory over the American team of Wilmer Allison and Johnny Van Ryan. The doubles victory, coupled with the clean sweep of Saturday's two opening singles matches, gave Engj land the three points necessary for ! retention of the famed trophy and reduced tomorrow's two concluding singles engagements, in which Allison will play Fred Perry and Donald Budge of California will engage Bunny Austin, to the status of meaningless exhibitions. The victory of Tuckey and Hughes was a stunning surprise and sent the meager crowd of 8,000 wild with ex it-ment. Hughes, u veteran well pad his prime, and Tuckey. a youngster making his debut in j cup play, were not expected even ' to carry the Americans into extra sets. For the Americans, several times all-England and American champions, took the court with a reputation as one of the greatest doubles combination of a'l time, and were 10 to 1 favorites to throw the issue on tomorrow's singles play. But the Americans were only able to occasionally display the super teamwork and brilliant stategy which has marked their playin the past. Allison, worn from his gruelling play in the singles on Saturday, tired bad'y in the fourth and fifth sets, and with his s'reng h went his touch. And Van Ryn. known for his steadiness, was bogged down in errors almost throughout the match.

OPEN SQUIRREL SEASON AUG. 1 Season Opens In Central Area Os State Thursday Os This Week Indianapolis, July 29. — Squirrel hunters in the central Indiana area, composed of 32 counties, will celebra*e the start of the 60-day open season on Thursday. August 1, with every indication that it will be a successful season. Reports from wardens and sportsmen throughout the area indicate a plentiful supply of squirrels in a majority of the counties. Included in the central area are the following counties: Benton, White, Cass. Miami, Walrash. Huntington. Wells, Adams. Jay, Blackford. Grant. Howard, Carrol), Tippecanoe. Warren, Fountain. Montgomery. C’inton. Tipton. Madison. Delaware, Randolph. Wayne, Hancock. Henry. Marion. Hamilton, Boone, Hendricks. Putnam. Parke and Vermillion. In these counties the squirrel season is from August to September 29, both dates inclusive. This year, acting under provis- ! ions of a law enacted by the general assembly, the state was divided into a. southern area for which the open season began July 1 and will close August 29; the central area with an open season from August 1 to September 29: and a northern area in which the open season will start September 1 and close October 30.

The new law prohibits the killing or possession of squirrels in any county except during the desig- 1 nated open season for the area of which that county is a part, and places a bag limit of five on the number of squirrels that may be killed or possessed in any one day. Squirrels taken legally during an open season in one area can be transported into another area but the hunter should be ready to produce evidence that the squirrels were taken legally. o ITALY THINKS 1 i CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONB Failure was due, he said blunt-’ ly, to the refusal of Italian arbi-j trators either to hear Ethiopia’s case or to nominate a fifth member of the commmission of four, so tnat a deciding vote could be cast. He could not accept, he said, the Italian argument that Italy's course was justified under a treaty of 1908. This he characterized as an excuse. Ethiopia, he said, always had maintained that consideration I of the full situation was vital to an investigation of responsiuility for frontier clashes. Therefore, the emperor said, he could not order his negotiators to withdraw from their positions and he did not propose to intervene.
