CARDS,CUBS TO FIGHT FOR LEAD Cubs Lose Twice Sunday As Curds Take Double Header New York. Aug. 3. (U.R> Onl Y two percentage points apart, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Curd Inals meet tomorrow. The result may go far toward deciding the | National league pennant race. The top teams of the senior circuit, westward hound today, clash in a full week of basebull during the next 10 days. If the Cubs remain dogged in their batting slump and the Cards keep on slugging at th*i‘ present pace Charley Grimm s men will see their slender margin of leadership changed into a substantial deficit. If neither gains a clean cut advantage in the four-day Cubs-Card-inala series opening at Chicago tomorrow and their three-day tiff at St. Louis early next week, the New York Giants can rise within striking distance of the top by maintaining the gait that has earned them 12 victories in their last 15 starts. Since last week-end when they rampaged in Philadelphia the Cubs have dropped six of their last eight engagements despite consistently tight pitching. Their batsmen have averaged less than seven hits a game over that stretch, and only 1.87 runs per contest. A dismal eastern trip ended at Boston yesterday with the Cubs losing twice to the Bees, 4-3 and 3-2. St. Louis, on the other hand, has been supporting spotty pitching wtlh runs aplenty. In winning five out of eight in the past week the Cards have averaged 10 hits and 7 runs per game. They touched a high yesterday, pounding out 32 safeties as they twice downed the Phillies, 13-3 and 11-8. New York remained in the threat position by winning its third straight from Pittsburgh, 3-2. Cincinnati and Brooklyn shared a twin straight from Pittsburgh. 3-2. Cincinnati and Brooklyn shared a twin bill, the Reds taking the first, 4- and Brooklyn the second. 5-2. The first-place New York Yankees and second-place Cleveland Indians fought to a 4-4 deadlock, ended by darkness before 65,000 in Cleveland municipal stadium in the American league. Chicago jumped from fifth to third place, defeating Boston 9-1 and 12-11, the latter in 12 innings. Boston dropped from fourth to fifth place and Detroit, which lost. 5- to Washington, fell a peg from third to fourth. St. Louis and Philadelphia divided a doubleheader. the Browns taking the opner, 6- and the A’s the nightcap, 7-3. Yesterday's hero: Jesse Hill, Washington outfielder, who tripled to drive in two runs and stole home as the Senators rallied in the ninth to defeat Detroit. o Girl Scouts Back From Week’s Outing The Tri Kappa girl scouts have Ireturned from Camp Ella Ixigaji. where they enjoyed a week's outing. The girls were able to experience camp life through the efforts of the Tri Kappa sorority, who gave benefits and helped raise the money for the girls. While at camp three of the girls earned their junior life saving awards. They were Helen Jeaji aud Florabelie Kohls and Zulu Porter. Kathryn Knapp received her first aid award.

NO PERMANENT I FREIGHT RATES - Interstate Commission Refuses To Make j Rates Permanent Washington, Aug. 3. —(U.PJ- —The interstate commerce commission today refused to permit the na-, tion's major railroads to establish 1 permanently the emergency freight' rate surcharges put into effect last year and scheduled to expire Dec.! 31. The surcharges were granted in response to the carriers' plea for federal action to bolster freight revenues. Originally, they were scheduled to expire last July 1, but | the I. C. C. authorized a six monthsi extension. In their petition asking permanent increases, the carriers contended the rates were “Just and reasonable ana industry and traffic can bear them without harm." They said the rates would not result in any material loss of traffic. Two courses now are left open to the roads. They may petition the commission for a re hearing of ! their plea or they may file indi-1 virtually proposed surcharges in, line with those already in effect. I The commission would have to pass upon any schedule of individual rates. The emergency increases were of varying percentages and applied to a large number of commodities. Whe nthey were established in April. 1935. the railroads expressed belief they would boost revenues by about $105,000,000 an- ’ nually. When it granted the six months extension, the ICC made two important modifications in the rates, reducing the maximum charge on coal and coke from 15 to 10 cents per net ton and the maximum on iron ore from 10 cents to eight cents per net ton. The carriers contended these reductions would ent drastically into their expected revenue, possibly reducing it to about $80,000,000 per year. "In translating the present emergency charges into so-called permanent rates it is not the purpose or petitioners to publish rates ] which will result in charges in ex- ] cess of those now collected," the! carriers said in their plea. "While they desire to retain

TAKE STEPS TO AID HOMESTEAD Resettlement Administration Plans Sale To Families (By special Correspondent i Washington, D. C-, Aug. 3. As soon as the problem of annexing the Decatur Homesteads to the city of Decatur is settled, and questions of tax exemptions understood. i the Resettlement Administration will sell the homesteads to the 40 resident families, it was learned today. The Decatur Homsteads will then be turned over to a non-pro-fit community association for management. This association will be composed of two project residents, a representative of the Resettle- , inent Administration, and two resident's of a neighboring community, probably Decatur, who have shown unusual interest in the success of the project. I If the sale of the Homesteads is delayed for more than six months. 1 it is probable that the Bankhead act, passed by the last congress ; aad authorizing payments to communities in lieu of taxes on resettlement projects still owned by the Federal government, will become effective on Decatur Homesteads. At the present time the legal and finance and control divisions of the Resettlement Administration are working out the details of the application of the bankhead act so that it can be applied to any resettlement project, and it will be about four months before the act can be applied. The Resettlement Administration would like to see Decatur Homesteads annexed to the city of Decatnr, an official said, for It welcomes such interest in its projects. All resettlement eyes are on Decatur, he added, for it is the only rural resettlement project which is desired for a part of a city, and one of the few where outside residents are still shouting loudly for admission. The Washington office of the Resettlement Administration has received a petition from residents of the city of Decatur asking for an addition of thirty homes to the project, hut it will be some time before it is decided whether the additional homes shall be constructed. The allocation of $35,966 for the project is said to have been contracted for. and additional expenses will have To have the approval of director Tugwell.
