Casey Sstengel's Dodgers who knocked the New Ybrk Giants from ’ the ra.'-e near the close of the 1934 campaign, rose up from the cellar yesterday to take their third straight from the Giants, who have been giving the St. Louis Cardinals a hot battle for the national , league leadership.

ENGLISH SHIP | REACHES U.S. Queen Mary Reaches New York, Just Short Os Record By Louis F. Keemle (United Press Sable Editor) Aboard S. S. Queen Mary, at the end of the voyage. June 1. —'U.R>— Just short of a record for North Atlantic speed, Great Britain's proudest ship steamed majestically into New York harbor to find it a bedlam of welcome today. The Queen Mary, officials aboard announced officially, arrived off Ambrose lightship at 9:05 a. m . New York time. Unofficially we are only 44 minutes behind the ' record for North Atlantic paaseng- ' er travel from the Cherboug break water. Our welcome to port near the end of the Queen Mary’s maiden voyage began when airplanes soared out to sea to dip in salute above us as we passed Fire Island lightship at 7:40 a. m. (EDT). Ambrose lightship, where west-, bound records for North Atlantic records end. was sighted from the decks at 8:50 a. m.. New York time and passed at 9:05 a. m. (El) T). Passengers crowding the decks and watching airplanes swooping low were expecting a dramatic last minute spurt for the blue ribbon of speed spremacy held by the French liner Normandie. But they were disappointed when, a few I miles off Ambrose, Commander Sir Eagar Britten ordered the ship's i engines slowed to half speed. Long Beach was enticingly within view. Had we gone into the spurt we might have tied or even

RECORD NUMBER OF HATCHERIES Hoosier Lakes To Be Heavily Stocked From Hatcheries i Indianapolis. June 1. — With u record-breaking number of ConnerI vation clubs operating hatchery 'ponds for the propagation of game tlsh. Hoosier anglers can anticipate still better fishing in Indiana next year, it was pointed out today by Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the department of conservation. [ i Fish propagated in the club hatchI eries supplement the production of the state hatcheries in providing game fish for Indiana lakes and i streams. There are one hundred and sixtyeight clubs operating fish hatcheries under contract with the division of fish and game this year, an . increase of thirty over 1935, Mr. Simmons reported. The clubs art* [ paid for the tisii produced and these fish are then used to stock lakes and streams in that vicinity. More than a million game fish were taken from the club hatcheries for stocking purposes under a similar agreement last year. Each club operating a hatchery this year secured its own parent I stock and early reports indicate i that the hatch of bass has been exceptionally good in most of the j ponds. The bluegills and rock bass are still on the nests. Removal of the young fish from the club hatch-, eries and the planting of lakes and .streams this fall will be supervis- , ed by the division of fish and game.' With a record-breaking number of club hatcheries In operation this year—covering a water area in excess of that in the stat hatcheries —the number of game fish avail-; .able for stocking Indiana lakes and 1 streams this fall will probably exceed the records of previous years. ’ o Pope Pius Renews Attack On Communists Vatican City, June I—<U.R1 —<U.R) —Pope Pius renewed his attack on communism yesterday when he celebrated his 79th birthday. In a speech to 4.000 representatives of the International Catholic action organization he exhorted Roman Catholics to "beware the snares of communism and fajse prophets who spread untruths, dreaming of a possible union between truth and untruth.” He emphasized the Catholic i press as a powerful weapon against the spread of communism. i Walter Shead Named Assistant To Peters Indianapolis Ind., June I—(UP) ; —Appointment of Walter Shead, Indianapolis, director of the state-1 house news bureau, as executive ' assistant to R.
