INTERSECTIONS!. GAMES FEATURE Major League Teams Open Intersectional Play Today New York. Apr. 28— (U.R) -Tinfirst international warfare for the i 1836 baseball pennants began today with National league teams of the east invading western territory and American league clubs ’ of the went counter-attacking their . eastern opponents. The league leading New York Giants' invasion of Sportsmans park, stoutly defended by the St. Louie Cardinals, furnished the highlight of National league activl- | tics. Headline bout on the Amer- ; lean card was the New York Yankees' defense of the stadium against the Cleveland Indians, leaders of the junior circuit. The Giants found the going much easier in the east than either St. Txmi« or Chicago, both I rated above the Giants in pre-sea-1 son pennant predictions, found it against western opponents. In the new game schedule. New York won three games from Boston. two from Philadelphia and three from Brooklyn while dropping only one to the Philliwt anil two to the Dodgers. The Cardinals lost a pair each ' to Cincinnati and Chicago and one I to Pittsburgh while whipping the I Reds and Cubs once each and the Pirates -twice for a percentage of I .444 and a sixth place tie in league standings. The Cubs, besides the two they won from the Cards, defeated the Reds and Pirates twice each, but dropped four to the Reds and one each to Pittsburgh and St. Louis. The Cubs today entertain the Brooklyn Dodgers, with whom I they axe in a tie for third place. Other National league games send the Boston Bees to Cincinnati to meet the second place Reds and Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to meet 1 the Pirates. The Cleveland-New York game ’ in the American was watched with •; interest because seven of the eight gamts won by the Indians have l been from second division teams. 1 ; The only game Cleveland took j from a pennant contender was the ' second one of the season against

the Detroit Tigers. (Since, tho Indians have won five from lastplace St. Ixmis and two from Chicago, in sixth place. The Yankees, only a game and u half ot of first place, won two from the hard-hitting Boston Red Sox, four from tho Washington Senators, in fifth place, and one from the Philadelphia, Athletics. It is felt th:U the three-game Buries with the Yankees will furnish u good Indication us to whether Steve o'Noill's bund will be a strong pennant contender. The champion Detroit Tigers traveled to Washington to engage the Senators. The Chicago White Sox. who got away to a good i+tart but slumped badly last week, meet the Red Sox in Boston, and the Browns and the Athletics will engage In a battle for the cellar at Philadelphia. In the only American league game played yesterday Cleveland picked up a half game by defeating the Browns 2 to 1 in a pitchers' duel, won by George Blaeholder. A tenth inning single by Thevenow that sent the winning run home enabled the Cincinnati Reds to defeat th- Chicago Cuba, 5 to 4, in the solitary National game played. St. I»uls at Pittsburgh was rained out. Yesterday's hero: Tommy Theve now, Cincinnati second baseman. who singled, in the l(Kh inning to send home the winning run. STANDINGS NATIONAL league — W.

'As a flood control project engii neers have reported that it will do much to relieve dangers of high water down the Wabash river. Recently it has been announced ■ that four of Gene Stratton-Porter's | novels, all of them dealing with I the Limherlost, have been includ-1 ed among the first ten ot “best | ' sellers" in the last 50 years. Resii dents of Geneva have pointed out that the region is internationally . known and should be recognized i locally. 1 Originally there were five lakes !in the Limherlost A few dams 1 : would replace these fromer lakes ' and create a recreational point -for Indiana. - i An omnibus flood control bill ' carrying a proposed $360,000,000 expenditure hM been approved by i the United States Senat and id now being considered in a revised ; condition by the House which passed the original bill. o Monroe Commencement Exercises Wednesday Twenty-two seniors of the Monroe high school will graduate Wednesday night at the commencement exervices held in the school auditorium, with Dr. F.

ROPER DEFENDS (CGNTINtTBD FROM PAGE ONg.\ order and to obtain correct and scientific information regarding unemployment and the prospects of reemployment from its own ranks rather than waiting for the j federal government to obtain this information. In effect, he gave his blessing to I the move instituted yesterday by ' the C. of C. board of directors, to conduct a survey of re-employ-ment possibilities. He assured the chamber of the government’s assistance in any way possible. “Today in some industries there are more people employed than ! before the depression and further ! gains are constantly being made," | Roper asserted. “Even though one industry may | show highly encouraging gains the i sound position ot that industry is j not assured until national unemployment has been greatly reduced. There is no greater assurance for successful and profitable i operations in the future and, thus, for decreased government expenditures than the employment of labor. “Therefore, it is the responsibility of all business and industrial enterprise, and not ot one ■ particular segment or of the gov-

ernment. to inerrease its efforts for greater employment." Roper bluntly warned that “if a substantial measure of increased reemployment does not take ; place, the taxation for relief purposes will come largely from business earnings. Thus, facing the problem frankly there must be rei employment or a longer period of increased taxation." Roper sajd he had attempted to ! emphasize the fact “that since business enterprise must pay the bills it should submit the plans to i cope with the unemployment ; situation."

AMENDMENT TO BILL APPROVED House Committee Approves Amendment I o New Tax Bill Washington. Apr. 28.—<U.R>—The house ways and means committee today approved an amendment designed to close a $100,000,000 loophole in the SBO3.<MM),OOO eatimated flrat-year yield of the new tax bill. Ways and ineima committee action came as the house prepared for consideration of amendments to the bill in an atmosphere of partisan debate. The committee also agreed to sponsor an amendment providing further tax aid to “deficit” corporations. The change would allow corporations, under certain restrictions. with earnings of less than the amount of their debt to pay a flat 15 per cent tax on their earnings instead of the 22H rate of the original bill. All amendments except the administration •sponsored proposal were believed certain of defeat. Without the change loaders fear the bill's revenue would “lag" at least $100,000,000 short of the predicted $803,000,000 yield in 1937. Republicans, as a result of their first party conference of the session, were driving for a united front vote against the bill. They admitted however that *he imwerful Democratic majority would win on all test votes. Tho loophole amendment was formally agreed on by the Democratic members of the ways and means committee at a secret session last night and acted on at a full committee meeting today. Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the committee, who i= toerfng the bill through the house, said it was “probable" that tho bill would
