BRUCE CAMPBELL RAPS OUT SIX HITS IN GAME Cleveland Player, Stricken Three Times, Still A Star New York, July 3- (U.W —?>>•• courage of u slugging young base ball player, Bruce Campbell of the Cleveland Indians, who refused to let three attacks <Ti a dread malady keep him down, was rewarded today with un achievement, that but fe wplayers of the national pastime ever experience. Campbell, 26-year-old outfielder, was believed "through" early this season when stricken for the third ti inewlth spinal meningitis, a dissense which often leaves it victims crippled or paralyzed for life —if they recover at all. The concensus was that Campbell s days as an athlete were over. But Campbeu, whose ball playing began at LaGrange, 111., high school, fooled them. Three weeks ago he took his old place in right field with the Indians, apparently as good as ever. Yesterday he gave proof of his full recovery by smashing out seven consecutive hits—six of them in one game, the first of a double double header with the St. Louis Browns. In bouncing out six singles in six timse at bat Campbell tied the modern league record for consecutive hits In one game, and his name will go down in record books along with those of Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Frankie Frisch and the more recent entries of Bob Johnson of the Athletics and Myril Hoag of the Yankees, wno turned the trTTTt in 1934. The only man on record ever to hit safely seven times in a nine inning game was Wilbert Robinson. the old Baltimore Oriole, who smacked out a double and six single on June 10, 1892. In an ex-tra-inning affray. John Burnett holds the record. Playing with the Indians, he hit safely nine times Notice My office will be closed from -July 6 to July 11, both dates inclusive. Patrons please take notice. Dr. H. V. DeVor .

Will Union Party Win Liberals? i» ZjjZ A f Ji. Wilk jfl B s, it < ' vSr* ?? I _ M *\ ” $ (Congressman William Lemke \ (jS -s How much of an effect will the new Union party have on the presidential election this fall? That question is being asked to an increasing extent as some of the more insurgent factions marshal their forces in support of the third party ticket headed by Congressman William Lemke of North Dakota and Attorney Thomas C. O’Brien of Boston, his running mate. There are many who believe that the Unionists will draw enough support from liberals and progressives in some states so that the movement may have more effect than New Dealers are willing to admit.
