NATIONAL RACE IS WIDE OPEN Only Four And One-Half (James Between First, Last Place New York. May 6. (U.R) — The fourth week of major league basebail competition began today with the National campaign still a wide open chase and all eight clubs IHiHsible pennant contenders. The situation is somewhat different in I the American league where the race apparently has narrowed {down to three or four teams. | In the senior circuit only four and one half games separate the ’ league-leading Chicago Cubs from . the tail-end Brooklyn Dodgers. The Boston Red Sox are showing the way in the American with 10 and ahalf games between them and the lust place St. Louis Browns. Washington's Senators, 'leaders of the second division are four games out of first place. However, the Red Sox are not making a runaway race out of it. The New York Yankees have kept exactly a half game behind them since they went into the lead April 29. The Cleveland Indians, former leaders, are only a game behind i the Yankees. ; Detroit's world champion Tigers 1 have fallen to fourth place, three i and one halt games away from the Red Sox. Lefty Grove, in chalking up his fifth victory and third shutout of the season for the Red Sox, yesterday blanked the Tigers, 2 to 0. Grove held Detroit to five hits and figured in both Boston's runs. He now has pitched 44 innings with i only one earned run being made. Pat Malone, making his initial start of the season, struck out nine men as the New York Yankees sank the St. Louis Browns. 8 to 2. | The new murderer's row — Gehrig, I Rolfe, Dickey and Di Maggio —got 13 of the Yanks' 15 base hits.

LEGION ASKS FOR MANDATE Asks Preference Given Veterans For Government Jobs Indianapolis, May 6. — (U.R) — A presidential mandate ordering that ■ veterans be given preference In 'governmental employment, in accordance with the veterans' pref-! erence act of 1919 was asked today by the American Legion. The request was contained in resolutions adopted by the national executive committee of the legion at the annual May meeting. President Roosevelt was asked to order "all departments of the I government to make effective the j veterans' preference act of 1919 land take into immediate employ- ' inent all applying veterans for pub- ! lie work and public offices, unless special legal exemption has been made." Another resolution asked that President Roosevelt forbid dropping of veterans from relief rolls or from works project jobs upon pay nient of bonus bonds in July.. The committee reiterated a demand that debts against the Pershing Memorial hall in Paris must be sealed down to $212,000 so that $270,000 of the $482,032.92 Stars i and Stripes fund appropriated by congress for the hall would be left to maintain and perpetuate the building. A $370,000 settlement is asked by holders of the mortgage on the hall. Denver. Los \ngeles. New York and Montreal, Canada, submitted bids for the 1937 convention' of the legion. The committee invalidated a contract for uniforms let by the emblem committee and made other i
