LINDSTROM IS OUT OF GAME 1 Brooklyn Outfielder Announces Retirement Krom Game New York, May 20 — <(J.R) Retirement from baseball of Freddie Lindstrom, the former "boy won- ' der" of the late John J. McGraw. ; left the Brooklyn Dodgers’ need of > a hitting outfielder more acute i than ever today and Casey Stengel was believed dickering with tho I Chicago Cubs for Chuck Klein. *' Rumors persisted thal Stengel II was offering any of his top flight pitchers— with the exception of Van Mungo—for Klein, but they could not be confirmed officially. Lindstrom, although only 31, i announced his mdgnation from the Dodgers yesterday and it was as much of a shock to the baseball world as his release from the I champion Cubs le.st fall. Freddie ; bad chosen tho Dodgers in the I belief that ho could help the club 'despite several offers from other I major league managers. I He had not been going so good this year, hitting only .264 and I troubled by a knee injury. His throwing arm also lacked tho ' power it used to have. However. 1 close followers of the game beI lieve that the real cause for Lin- , dy’s resignation dated back to 11933 when his roommate. Bill TerI ry. was named to succeed John McGraw as manager of the Giants. Lindstrom had felt that McGraw was grooming him for the job. Freddie started his major league career with tho Giants in 1924. His l>est year wae in 1930 when ho hit .379. The Dodgers' scheduled contest ' with the Cincinnati Reds was I rained out yesterday as were the New York-Pittsburg and the St. Louis-Philadelphia games. In the only National league game played, the Bcaston Bees engaged in a slugging match with the Chicago Cubs and nosed out a 6 to 5 victory. New York's Yankees. American league leaders, blasted a 10 to 4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. ’ The second place Boston Red Sox only got four hits but made them count in defeating the Chicago White Sox. 4-2. Two walks, I an error and one hit gave the Red ' Sox three runs, enough to win. in ; the second inning. | Tommy Bridges limited the Washington Senators to four hits j as the Detroit Tigers won. 4 to 2. j * The St. Louis Browns made it* , two straight over the Philadelphia . | Athletics. 8 to 4. as Sammy Knott went the route, scattering nine I™ 8 - i Yesterday's hero: Sunny Jim Bottomley. of the St. Louis Browns, who rapped three doubles in three successive trips to the. 1 plate and drove in three runs to lead his team to victory.

Employment is being handled by the WPA but the projects are supervised by the commission. The commission originally expected to extend the program over approximately 806 miles of state highways in 77 counties, but this will not be possible. i In some sections, necessary ad- ' ditional right-of-way could not be I obtained and in others there was not sufficient WPA labor available to undertake the improvements.
