BROWNS AGAIN PROVE THREAT TO CONTENDERS Hornsby's Team Again Likely To Upset Leading Nines New York. Apr. 27.- <U.R)~Once agai n Rogers Hornshy and his basement crew arise to strike terror into the hearts of clubs hopeful of displacing Detroit as champ lon of the American league. The Browns, noted trouble makers for pennant contending teams, virtually eliminated the New York Yankees by winning a crucial series near the end of the 1935 season. New Yorkers saw their flag hopes go aglimmering as Hornsby's men slapped the Yankees down 10 times last year while winning only five from Detroit. However, the Browns have warned that the going may not be so easy for the Tigers this year by winning two of the first four games played. If they maintain this average against the Tigers, Mickey Cochrane is going to have trouble overtaking the strengthened Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox. Despite Hornsby's lack of a strong pitching staff, there is not one American league manager who can send his team against the Browns with any degree of assurance that the "Rajah's” periodically inspired youngsters will not break up a tight ball game with a. barrage of base hits in the ninth inning. The Browns gave the leagueleading Cleveland Indians such a scare yesterday by tying the score in the ninth, then carrying the game 16 innings before an error by Hornsby's usually reliable catcher. Rollle Hemsley, on an attempted triple play, allowed the Indians to score and finally win, 8 to 7. The Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox. 6 to 4. for their fourth consecutive victory when the veteran righthander, Vic Sorrell, turned the Sox back with five hits. Johnny Whitehead received poor support, Chicago making four errors Led by Bill Dickey, who slashed out a pair of two baggers and two singles, the .New York Yankees launched an IS-hit attack against three pitchers to come from behind and down the Boston Red Sox,

Buck Newsom pitched the Washington Senators to a " hit, 11 to 3 i victory over the Philadelphia Ath--1 let les. In a five-run burst in the ) sixth the Senators accomplished one of the rarest plays in baseball. On a long outfield fly by Bolton, I Reynolds scored from third and Powell from second after Moses I made a sensational catch of the I hard-driven ball. The second victory of the season ' was chalked up by Dizzy Dean as ' ho pitched the St. Louis Cardinals ■ to a 3 to 2 victory over the Pittsbudgh Pirates in 10 Innings. Pepper Martin's single with two out in the 10th brought home manager ' Frankie Frisch, who had doubled, with the winning run. The defeat sent Pittsburgh into a sixth place tie with the Cards, and the Brooklyn Dodgers, who de- ', seated PhPiladelphla 10 to 7. mov- ’' ed into fifth position. The Dodger--1 Phllly game was a wierd affair with 11 errors, 26 hits and 17 runs being divided by the two clubs Chicago continued its surge to- ’ ward the top with a 5 to o shutout victory over the Cincinnati Reds. , Tex Carleton dealt out only four I hits.

ROTARIANS TO PLAY CENTRAL ; City tirade Champions To Meet Rotary Softball Club Tuesday As a sports feature of the Boys I and Girls week in Decatur, the Celt- ■ tral team, winner of the city grade ' school softball championship, will 1 meet a team composed of members of the local Rotary club in a challenge game at the South Wand diamond Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock.

(Copyright 1936 by UP.) Vienna. Apr. 27. —(U.P.) —A ruthless fascist purge involving not only Austrian nazis but army ofiiceri remnants of the old Democratic regime and advisers of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg. was believed imminent today. Prince Ernst Von Starhemberg, vice chancellor and strong man of the government gave clear warn I ing of the purge in a speech, at ! Horn, near the Czechoslovak bord- ' er, on the occasion of the conver- ' slon of his 40,000 fascist heitnwebr troops into a national militia. After reviewing picked men of the organization yesterday, Stnrhemberg warned: “Saboteurs of the authoritarian (fascist) state wish to dissolve the militia. This will occur only over my dead body. We have not given rundreds of lives to forestall bolshevism in order to hand the state over to democratic corruptionists. "The attempt of certain persons to smuggle the old party corruption£st spirit into the new state we accept as a battle challenge. These elements should realize there is a I place for them in our concentration camps.” LOCAL POLICE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) man had disconnected the gas hose on a car parked in front of the house, permitting the gasoline in the tank to drain out. Frank Crist on South Mercer avenue reported that some one pulled a road sign from the ground and crashed it through the front window of bis car, evidently in an attempt to steal It. The man was frightened away. Faye Gunder reported that some one stole eight gallons of gasoline from his truck parked near the Adams county memorial hospital. o 14..ef1y Told One conquers a had I.al.it more I Easily today than tom -mw

FIRE DAMAGES DECATUR HOME Dan Death Residence Is Badly Damaged By Fire Saturday Considerable damage was cansled by fire at the Dan Death home on North Seventh street Saturday I afternoon at about 12:30 o'clock when sparks from the chimney ignited the roof. The conflagration had gained rapid headway before the fire department was summoned. I Passersby turned in the alarm 'and before the department was at the scene nearly the entire roof was ablate. Neighbors aided in 1 removing the furniture from the ; burning structure before any of it ignited, although the furnishings suffered some loss from water. The flames also spread to the Ernest Masters' home, adjoining on the north side, but firemen i checked the fire before more than a iss loss had occurred. The root of ithe home was kept continually i moist to prevent re-currence of the i blaze. The flames in th“ home left onljr the charred rafters of the roof standing on the north side, ; burning heavily on tli west roof land down betw-<ti the walls • Damage to the house was estimated at about $390 by Fire Chief Charles Robenold. This estimate was on the house proper with about SSO estimated on the furniture from water damage. o March On Assembly To Obtain Relief Trenton. N. J..
