NIGHT GAME AT CINCYAUG.3I Final Night Game Os Season Will Be Played With St. Louis Cards Cincinnati, Aug. 16— Saturday, August 31, has been selected as the date of the seventth and final night game of the season at Crosley Field. The Reds will meet the j Wor'd Champion St. Louis CardinI als on that occasion, the same opponents who drew more than 30,000 fans to the sixth night game, played on July 31. During the sixth night game numerous spectators overflowed onto the field, at times obstructing the vision of those in the stands. Steps have been taken by the Reds' I management to prevent a recurI rence of this condition. In prepari ation for future capacity crowds, the outfield at Crosley Field has been te; raced for a distance of forty feet In front of the right, center and left field walls, Should it be necessary, six thousand temporary chairs can be placed on this terra.’e, which is likely to take care of any emergency. The management has issued a positive statement that every person who buys a seat for any future game at Crosley Field will have a clear and unobstructed view of the playing field at ail times. The night game on August 31 will be the first home contest for the Reds after their ret turn from their long eastern trip. Besides the game against the Cardinals that evening, the Reds will meet -the world champions again the next afternoon. Sunday September 1. The popularity of major league night baseball has been such that almos* every rai’road running into Cincinnati has announced special excursions to take care of the fans , desiring to witness the seventh { game under the floodlights. Rail- ( road agents within a radius of ap- i proximately 200 miles are selling ( round-trip railroad tickets which include a reserved seat for the night game. Fireworks and other pre-game i ceremonies are on the program for the final night game at Crosley Field.

DEAN PITCHES CARDS TO WIN Great Righthander Pitches Masterpiece To Reduce Giants Lead Polo Grounds. N. Y., Aug. 17 (U R' Dizzy Dean’s long right arm drew a noose around the New York Giants yesterday and the . St. Louis Cardinals wrested a stub born 1-0 victory from the National league leaders. Pale and drawn after two days’ illnees. Dean pitched one of his masterpieces to reduce the Giants’ lead to three games and to even the crucial series at two games each. « Until yesterday Pean hadn t beaten the Giants this season, but he seared the Giants with revenge in a dramatic pitchers’ tattle with Hal Schumacher before 14.580 persons, including 4,823 ladles’ day guests. • Th-‘ Dodgers proved more proficient than the Cubs at home run hitting today and won the fourth game of their series 2 to 1 as boundary belts produced all the runs in a mound duel between George Earnshaw and Charley Root. After winning the first three games of the series the lowly Boston Braves reverted to their usual form and dropped a doubleheader to the Cincinnati Reds 3 to 1 and 4 to 3. Young Vern Kennedy outlasted Wes Ferrell in a marathon mound duel, and the White Sox ended their seven-game losing streak with a 14 inning victory over the Boston Red Sox 4 to 3. Tony Piet's single to right center with one out in the fourteenth scored Luke Sewell with the winning run. Marritt (Sugar) Cain, whose 1935 hurling achievements have been anything but astonishing, set a new American league strikeout record for the year by fanning 13 batters, and the Browns defeated the Athletics, 7 to 2. Cain bettered the mark of Johnny Allen, Yankee pitcher, who struck out 11 Cleveland batters May 11. The Yankees’ various manifestations of wildness cost them a chance to gain a game on the league-leading Detroit Tigers as they tossed away two leads and lost the final game of the series to the Indians 8 to 5. The seventh-place Washington Senators pounded three Detroit Ditchers for 16 hils. seven of them for extra bases, to beat the leagueleading Detroit Tigers, 8 to 1. — o —■ —- AIRPLANE CARRYING CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONH

fore he sky-rocketed to fame in attendance, will be very simple. Rogers’ body will be taken to his home in Beverly Hi’ls. Cal., where his intimate friends of the motion picture world were in the deepest mourning. Arrangements for his funeral are pending. The Immediate cause of the accident that took two lives of inestimable value to world aviation and to world amity (Rogers through motion pictures, radio, and newspapers dispensed a homely wit that lightened the heurts of millions) was Post’s utiter confidence In his new plane and his skill as a pilot. He took off from an arctic river 15 miles south of Point Barrow in a heavy fog with a faulty motor. It was a foolhardy gesture such as only a supremely expert pilot or the most inexperienced amateur would undertake. The brand new Lockheed low-wing monoplane, which had replaced Post's celebrated plane, the Winnie-Mae, rose 50 feet before the motor missed fire. It then plunged head-on into two feet of water, killing its occupants instantly. Rogers’ confidence in Post’s flying skill wai of the unquestioning kind. He had traveled thousands ( upon thousands of mi'es as an air i passenger, having a passion for 'flight. He regarded Post, his inf timate friend of a number of years standing, as the world’s greatest pilot. Grief tor the two men far transcended their immediate circles of family and friends. President Roosevelt, former President Hoover. members of congress, leading business men and industrialists, rulers of many countries, world statesmen, all expressed their sorrow. In London, in Paris, Berlin. Madrid, Tokyo, the accident, that had taken two beloved characters was a subject of intense interest. The movies had made the lovable personality of the Oklahoma cowboy, who for years had pointed out human frail ities in high places in his inimitable manner, a world figure. Post, hero of two flights around thte world, was universally regarded as one of the world’s greatetst fliers. A few hours after a shocked world learned of the accident, the United States senate passed a resolution calling for government purchase of the Winnie-Mae, and soon afterward thte house gave its approval.. The plane, which car-

ried Post on both his famous tiights, will be placed lu the Smithsonian Institute. In St. Louis, the Spirit of St. la>u!s medal for outstanding contributions to aviation was awarded posthumously to Rogers by the aeronautics division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Death cut Post down In the midst of his newest efforts to ad vance avla’ion. He was experimenting with flights in the stratosphere, hoping to develop a technique and equipment that would shorten the air time between the east and west coasts of the United States to seven hours. This new plane had been purchased especially for the experiments after four failures in the Winnie Mae. Rogers was believed to have left an estate valued at between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. Through insurance and other assets he said to have established a trust fund of $500,000 for each of his three children. Post w’as believed to have died practically penniless, outside his ownership of the wrecked plane and the Winnie Mae. He earned great sums, but everything went back into airplanes and aviation. Hie widow will receive $25,000 for the Winnie Mae, the sum congrest appropriated. The world recalled the exploits of Post — his dash around the world with Harold Gatty in 8 days, 15 hours, 51 minutes in 1931 —his one man flight over the same route in 1933 in 7 days 18 hours. 49 minutes. Os Rogers, it recalled only a lovable character who usually appeared on the stage in chaps and sombrero, to twiri a rope and philosophise in an authentic plainsman's brawl, and in the movie,? as rough-hand-ed and full-hearted. Neither Post nor Rogers had the least fear of death. Post dared it again and again. Rogers composed his own epitanh: ‘ When I die, my epitaph, or whatever you call those signs on gravestones, Is going to read: “ 'I joked about every prominent man of mv time, but I never met a man I didn’t like.” "I am proud of that, I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come around my grave, you’ll find me sitting there, nrcdlv reading it" Rogers said that tn Boston in 1930. Crosson brought his Arctic plane into this hamlet of 10 whites and 250 Eskimos to find it intense with shock and grief. A native runner arrived Thursday, all but “xhuusted from 15 miles of fast travel over a rough terrain of bogs and lakes, shouting excitedly that "the bird men” were dead. He gave his news to this correspondent and staff sergeant Stanley Morgan of the United States army signal corps. They didn’t believe him at first, but after he had jabbered his story twice, Morgan manned a whale boat with a native crew and with the correspondent set out for the scene. o McNutt Appointed To F'ederal Works Board Washington, Aug. 17—(UP)—.Administrator Horry L. Hopkins yesterday appointed Gov. Paul V. McNutt, Indiana, the fourth member of his works progress advisory board.
