CHICAGO CUBS INCREASE LEAD IN SENIOR LOOP Beats Giants To Win 14th Straight, Cardinals Lose Half-Game New York, Sept. 18.—(U.R>—The tMS major league winning streak record will be shattered today if the Chicago Cubs halt the NewYork Giants. Having tle’d the mark of 14 straight set by the St. Lottis Card Inals during their July drive, the Cubs wil istake their'chances for a new record on Charley Root, 36 year old right hander who is mak ing a briliant comeback after win ning only four games last year. Victory today will mean more for the Cubs than settling a rec-1 ord—for another Giant defeat will virtually eliminate the New York ers from the National league pennant race. The Giants, walloped by the Cubs, 5-3. for the second in a row yesterday, now trail the leagueleading Chicagoans by 5*4 games. They have 16 more to play and must win 14 of them to tie the Cubs, even if Chicago wins only five out of its remaining nine. At tiieir present rate, there is no telling when the Cubs will stop. Pitching has been their backbone, and thus far there have been no signs of any weakness developing in that department. During the 14game streak, only one pitcher failed to finish—Root who was relieved during Saturday's 18-14 carnival with Brooklyn—and In the last 16 games only two failed to go the route. Chief opposition now for the. Cubs seems to be St. Louis more than New York —and the Cards appear to be cracking. The only hope for the world-champions rests in their ability to match every Chicago victory from now until Sept 25 and then win at least three out of five from the Cubs in the final series of the season. Even then the Cubs might go into that series with enough margin to win the pennant even if they come out on the short end. Chief Cardinal trouble is pitching, with the Brothers Dean, Paul and Dizzy, being overworked. Both saw action in yesterday's double header which the Cards split with Brooklyn. The Deans now have worked in 14 out of the Cards last 17 games. St. Louis yesterday dropped to 2*4 games behind Chicago by defeating Brooklyn. 4-2 in the opener and losing the nightcap, which was called in the seventh because of darkness, 8-7. Jesse Haines won his 2OOth major league victory in the opener but only after Paul Dean relieved him in the ninth when the Dodgers scored a run. Dizzy lost his third straight in dropping the second game. The Giants fell to 5*4 games behind

DECATUR PLAYS BLUFFTON TEAM ! FRIDAY NIGHT Yellow Jackets To Meet Arch Rivals Under Lights At Bluffton The Decatur Yellow Jackets this week are preparing for one of th" feature games of the season. the’ annual battle with their arch rivals, the Bluffton Tigers. The game will be played under the floodlights at Bluffton Friday i evening, with the opening kickoff 1 scheduled for 7:30 o'clock. With confidence renewed after 1 their 13-6 triumph over the An- i burn Red Devils last Saturday, the Jackets hope to duplicate their victory of last year over the Tigers. Bluffton has played two games so far this season, losing to the Fort Wayne Central Tigers. 36 to 0. and upsetting Warsaw last Saturday. 7 to 0. The Tigers' touchdown against, Warsaw was scores! on a highly j unusual pla.v. In the fourth quae, ter. Warsaw advanced deep into Bluffton territory. Failing to make the necessary yardage. ( Warsaw attempted a place kick ! from the 10-yard line. The kick ’ i was short and Templin, fullback i and son of the Bluffton couch. I grabbed the ball on his six-yard j line and with good interference, | raced 94 yards for the touchdown. • Bluffton played •without the services of three regular backfield ; men. who may be able to take ■ part in the Yellow Jacket giune : Friday night. Several members of the Yellow i. Jacket squad were badly bruised | in the Auburn battle last Saturday. but. all are expected to be in , fairly good condition by Friday. , Several reserves showed to good ' advantage in the pinches Satur-i day. and the Jackets apparently I' are str'nger in reserve strength ' than was thought aarly in the season. Faulty Decision Decides Title Decatur. 111.. Sept. 18 —(UP! —An umpire's faulty decision gave the' 1935 championship of the ‘ Three Ey?” baseball league to Blooming- j ton today. President L. J. Wylie ruled for Bloomington after Bob Coleman. | Springfield manager, refused to replay a series game which was, ' thrown in doubt when umpire Pat | Fohl of Terr Haute misinterpreted I the rule book. Springfield. leading the series three to two. won the sixth game yesterday 5 to 2. The argum.nt between the two teams arc-’e when Fohl called first caseman Foster out when he was tou.hed by acting manager Herschel Martin as -he rounded third has - on a home run driven outside the park. WILL RELEASE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE tee body. Edward C. Steep, owner of the I i plane in whi h Koene ke was killed. | ’ came here from Detroit with the | intention of furnishing the bail ask- ! i d for the aviators' release. MAKE PROGRESS — CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I 30-hour work week has been abandoned. Originally, the miners ask-' jed for an increase in the basic ! wage of 50 cents for a 6-hour day. i This has been reduced to cover a 7-hour day. Tonnage rate increases of 15 | cents for machine mined coal and j ■ 25 cents for pick mined coal have been cut to 10 cents for both types of operation. Increases of 20 per cent asked for yardage and dead work labor have been reduced to 15 per cent. Despite these concessions by the miners, however, operators appear to be insistent upon their original proposal to extend existing contracts another year. The conference must find a compromise between these two positions before Sunday midnight. o MRS. RATLIFF CONTINUED FROM \ AGE ONE of the defense attorneys. Mrs. Ratliff was placed on the stand early this morning and at the noon recess the attorneys for the| 1 plaintiff had not finished with her ’direct examination. Questions ask ' ed her were to support the evi- ! dence already given by her husband. ! The cross-examination of Mrs. Ratliff required only 10 minutes. The next witness called by the plaintiff was Dr. Werner Duemllng. skin specialist of Fort Wayne, who examined Mr. Ratliff's hands and took pictures of them before they were amputated.

MAROONS BOAST BEST HALFBACK I Chicago U. Has Excellent First String But Few Substitutes Chicago. Sept. 18 —<U.R>—A fine 1 first team, a superb halfback, and a coach who ranks among the best will attempt this fall to bring back gridiron glory to the University of! ( Chicago. Those three virtues are the basis : 1 for much optimism on the campus 5 despite a schedule which includes 11 Nebraska, Purdue. Wisconsin. Ohio " State, and Illinois. Coach Clark Shaughnessy, who has had marked success with the 1 Maroons since replacing Amos ® Alonzo Stagg in 1933, has this to: say about his hopes for 1935: "I'll match our first team against . any in the Big Ten conference but • we have the same oft! problem about reserves. | "We just simply don’t get the, material for replacements. "Our starting team probably will ’ I contain no sophomores, so we re ■ banking heavily on the 12 letter- t I men returning and what few good substitutes we had in 1934.” I ’ Shaughnessy, with all his troub- ! les. has one player who is the t envy of all other western confer- t ence coaches. Captain Jay Ber- ' wanger, a 200-pound halfback from t Dubuque, la. ' Berwanger is the best football | player Chicago has had in a decade. As a sophomore he gained 672 yards from scrimmage, did al- j most all the punting, and made far more than his share of tackles. I Last year his record was even I more impressive. He was kept out of the Ohio State game with inl juries but in the seven other conI tests averaged 4.4 yards each time :lie carried the ball and averaged ; 39.8 yards for every punt. The I passes he threw gained 297 yards and he scored 56 points alone. i Berwanger's backfield mates this fall probably will be Ewald Nyquist. a fullback reserve in 1934 who has been moved to quarter-1 back; Ned Bartlett, right halfback, ' and Warren Skoning. full. The first team line will be big I and competent. Bob Perretz and Gordon Peterson are expected to hold down the ends with Merritt Bush and Clarence Wright at I tackle; Harmon Meigs and PresI cott Jordon at guard, and Sam : Whiteside at center. o Federal Government To Stay Out Os Probe Waa'iington.

Ind., Sept. 18 —(UP) —The federal housing program today was credited by R. Earl Petere ! state FHA director, with having furnishe da dominent factor in the return to prosperity in Indiana.” I “Indiana’s housing program As;

The Late Mrs. Foresight BUYING her winter furs in August and such staple summer needs as bathing suits, white buckskins and beach towels in September, always seemed so utterly behindtime. So, at least, her neighlwrs thought. • But sometimes there is “method in madness” . . . although in Mrs. Foresight’s case the “madness” proves to be shrewdness.... She is a good manager. A keen observer. Apparently late, she is really ahead. When the stores have merchandise which it is better for them to close out at temptingly low prices, than to carry over until the next season, she sallies forth and picks up the bargains. She takes advantage of the inactive-season sales. She scans the newspapers. She watches the advertisements. Why not be a Mrs. Foresight yourself? And here’s a further angle to the wisdom of buying ahead at end-of-season prices: The money you save helps to pay for those immediate style needs that cannot well be bought except as Fashion decrees—in season. Figure it out. It’s worth while! Read the advertisements in this newspaper.

MILLION DOLLAR GATE FORESEEN I Promoter Mike Jacobs Predicts Huge Crowd For Baer-Louis Fight New York. S-I»t. 18-(UP)-The return of the 81.000,000 boxing gate, was forecast today by promoter j 1 Mik * Jacolie for the Max Baer-Joe Louis heavyweight bout ul Yankee Stadium next Tit sday night. "It’ll g<» a million sure,” Jacobs , .aid "We have 8700,om) in the till . and the demand for tickets Indi , cates that ev ‘ry on? will be sold be | fore th • day of the fight." If all the tickets are sold the crowd will be 90.000 making ti ththird largest boxing gathering in history, topped by the 118,736 crowd , at tlw* flrut Dempsey-Tunney bout j and th? 102,450 crowd at the second Dempsey-Tunney affair. The en. rmous demand for tickets has started a brink business' among the ticket scalpers, who are quoting 8100 and $125 for choice $25 j t ingside s ats. Counterfeit ticket* also have made their appearance and efforts are being made to dis ■ tribute then <lu a'e outside New York, according to Ja ’obs. Jack 1* mpsey's decision to lend I his moral si • port to Baer in the | I role of second caused Baer's stock | to show a slight upward trend along I fistic alley. ( i "Dempsey's presence in Baer's corner will be just the thing to give I him confidence.” said one boxing ' ! manag r. "Ba ‘r is temperamentaland unruly, but Dempsey always! hau been able to handle him. Max I has plenty of respect for Dempsey I and will do what Jack tells ihim." * The last time Dempaey seconded ■ a boxer was in 1924. when he was ; j behind Mickey Walker when the ’ ' former middleweight champion beat ! B rt Colima in Los Ang’les. De r.psey was givi n his second’s license yesterday by t e New York commission. EXTRAORDINARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE test mobilization. The cabinet approved stispen- ‘ sion of any penal proceedings 'against those called to the colors lor engaged in any work connected ' with the East African campaign. I.aws already have been issued I against war-time profiteering and providing that the jobs of those . I with the colors shall be kept open | for six months. Also, the pay the/ 'would have received goes to their i 'amilies for periods ranging from . three to six months. Financial quarters said it would .be impossible to estimate th<j amount of the loan because it would consist of voluntary uub- ■ script ions and would be carried j out by voluntary conversion oper-

ations. They believed that per , haps the government would set a goal for the country when another , decree fixes the date for the open Ing and closing of the loan. Italy massed two divisions of i I regular army troops in Libya, next to Egypt on the North Afticnn coast today. Naval Warfare (Copyright 1935 by United Preset , I,ondon, Sepl. 18 - <U.R) The basis was being laid in the Medi-, terruuean sea today for the most terrible naval warfare in world history. From the green coasts of Southern England to the pirate Infested | roust of China British warships.; from tiny mine laying trawlers to unsinkable floating fortresses steamed to the ancient ocean which has been a theatre of naval warfare since the Achaeans !*♦•- siged Troy. Tne Italian navy Is massed on either side of ti e long peninsula, that lies between the Tyrrhenean and Adriatic seas and stretches | down toward Africa. On Hie African and Eurrpean coaets, soldiers, airplanes, heavy artillery, are taking their position. Bectnse the Mediterranean is narrow and is bounded by three continents, any big scale warfare would involve engines of destruction which never have, been combined. Thick fleets of airplanes, big guns of coastal artillery, cruisers that can move at more than 40 miles an hour. anti-aJrcraft guns whoss potency never han been tested. Only Faint Hope Geneva.
