YANKEES SLASH GAME FROM LEAD Cardinals And Giants Open Crucial Series This Afternoon New York, Aug. 14.—-<U.R>—The league leading New York Giants begin a hand-to-hand battle with the first of the wests two pennant contenders today. Even’s during the next forthnight either may make or break the New Yorkers' bld for the 1935 National .’eug’ie flag. The initial western threat will be made by the swashbuckling, sec-ond-place St. Louis Cardinals who open a five-game series with a double-header at the Polo grounds. The Chicago Cubs, now in thirdplace. tangle with the Brooklyn Dodgers at Kbbets field and take on the Giants next week. Both series beginning today will have a definite bearing on the leadership. The Giants, hopeful that two days of rest has 'ifted them from their slump, go into the crucial period with a slim 2% game lead. In games won and lost the Cubs are closer to first-place than the Cardinals but Chicago has played more games and lost more than St. Louis. Thus, the Cards have a three-point edge in the percentage column. Tlie Giants lead the Cardinals by three games and the Cubs by 2%. The Carinals must win four of the five games to move in'o first.: If the Giants win three they will remain on top even if the Cubs sweep their five-game series with Brooklyn. While interest centers on the National fight, the New York Yankees are off to a flying start in their last western invasion. The Yanks crept up a full game to within five game of the leaeding De-1 troit Tigers yesterday as all the eastern teams triumphed in their i opening western contests. The Yankees subdued the Cleve-. land Indians. 8-2. while Washing-! ton's Senators were trouncing the Tigers. 4-3. in ten innings. The' Boston Red Sox moved into third place a full game ahead of the Chicago White Sox whom they defeated, 9-5. The Philadelphia Athletics beat St. Louis, 14-1. Yesterday's hero: Joe Kuhel. l Washington infie’der, whose single in the tenth scored the run that defeated Detroit. — o Preble Giants Will Play Ft.

EARLY PAROLE IS UNLIKELY D. C. Stephenson’s Hopes For Parole Are Fast Fading Indianapolis. Aug. 14 - (U.R) •’ C. Stephenson's chances of an immediate parole from a life sentence have faded completely and unless the courts rule in his favor, the former Ku Klux Klan dragon must serve at feast five years more. This fact was assured today with the announcement by the state clemency commission that it had| closed its fl'es on cases to be considered at the September mee'ing. The announcementTToupied with the recent order that starting with the Sep.etnber meeting, all "lifers serving sentences on murder charges must serve at least 15 years before leniency can be shown, cut off Stephenson's last avenue of an immediate parole. The former klan leader's only hope to obtain a parole or commutation of sen ence is in an ord-1 er making his plea a special order) of business. In past cases, the commission has been reluctant to show special | privi'eges to life-term inmates, es-1 pecially those serving sentences on murder charges. The only exIceptions which have been made I were those in which it was evident there had been a miscarriage of justice. Up until a month ago, the former political boss was considered to have had a good chance to escape life entence by a parole from the clemency commission. Several statehouse officials, while not openly declaring themselves in favor of St- phen-son'd rekuvse, said that he would "fare better with the commission than in the courts. Attorney Genera’ Philip Lu.z, declared Stephenson's court battle as "useless." Gov. Paul V. McNutt said he was not considering a petition for Stephenson's release, and added that any recommendation for leniency must come from the clemency board. Several friends and relatives of the former klan dragon have appealed to the governor personally, but on each occasion he refused executive clemency, referring them to the commission. S'ephcnson has served nine years and eight months on his life sentence. — o f magTfy news Mrs. Noah Hetrick spent a couple days last w ek in Kalimazoo. Michigan, visiting relatives.
