LOU GEHRIG TO CONTINUE MARK Although Hampered By Wrenched Back, Yank Star To Continue New York. Aug. 4 —(UP) — The baseball spotlight played on Lou Gehrig and Hal Troeky, a pair of American League sluggers, today.! Gehrig, iron man first baseman of the New Y'ork Yankees, announced j that he would play in his 1755th con-! ,eecutive big league contest today; at Boston, despite the wrenched back that forced him to the side-' lines in the 13th inning of Sunday's 1 game at Cleveland. The strain!! suffered when Lou! swung at one of Denny Galehouse s. curves, p|inl<l con|idn-ably—-but not nearly an much as some of the ] broken Irones, skull injuries from' pitched balls, torn muscles and as-1 sorted aches Gehrig has endured while playing in every regular game • in which the Yankees have engaged j ' since June, 1925. Doc Painter. Yankee trainer, said ' the wrench was more painful than; serious. It was good news for the New Yorkers, whose 10-game lead! in the American league is due toi no small part to Gehrig’s .382 batting mark. While Gehrig looked forward to a ■ continuance of his "consecutive games record. Trosky, first baseman of the Cleveland Indians, looked back on one of modern baseball s finest consecutive hitting streaks. Until he went hitless in four times at bat as schoolboy Rowe and the Detroit igers defeated Cleveland, 9-4, yesterday, Trosky had hit safely in 28 successive games. Over that I stretch Hal batted .412. The spree boasted Trcsky’s seasonal batting average to .347, left him second to Gehrig in home runs, with 31, and second to his teammate Earl Averill in hits, with 149. The Cleveland-Detroit game was the only contest in either league yesterday. The Chicago-St. Louis game, only other scheduled in the : American league, was rained out. No games were scheduled in the National league. Yesterday’s hero: schoolboy i Rowe, who won his third game in eight days and his 13th of the season, and snapped Hal Trosky’s con- | Aecutive hitting streak at 28 games as Detroit defeated Cleveland. o Mother Wins Degree Salt Lake City (U.R) —Mrs. Edna Evans Johnson, mother of five daughters and wife of the president of the Utah state bar, found

It was reported today tollowing a subcommittee meeting | in New York. Bishop Oxnam Is serving as act- ' ing president until a new adminis- ! trator is selected. Members of the subcommittee ; who met last night in New York are I : Roy O. West, Chicago, president of I the board of trustees at Depauw; 1 ! Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of | i Washington, and Kenneth C. Hogate . i of New Y'ork, Trustees. PRIMARIES IN ! , THREE STATES — Kansas, Missouri And Virginia Voting In Primaries (By United Press) Three states — Kansas, Missouri and Virginia—held primaries today that were preludes to this fall's general warfare on all political fronts. None had direct bearing on national issues. Greatest interest centered on Republican and Democratic primaries I in Kansas, home state of Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee, to choose party cam didates for state and congressional offices. Democrats hoped to poll a greater total of votes in their primary ’ -than the Republicans do in theirs. Such a result would be subject to ; varying interpretations. The Re--1 publicans had no outstanding con- ' tests to bring out their voters in ’ numbers, whereas the Democratic ' J places on this fall's ballot were ■ disputed hotly. In Missouri, voters settled a fight on the Pendergast Democratic organization carried on by candi- ’ dates for the Republican and Demi; ocratic gubernatorial nominations. ■ The Pendergast candidate for the -1 Democratic nomination was neveri theless a heavy favorite. Congressional nominations also were settled by the voters. The Virginia primary was that i of the Democratic party for state , and congressional officers. Senat- . or Carter Glass was unopposed for I the senatorial nomination.

LANDON POLICf ISATHCKED __ w—> < Ickes, Wallace To Challenge Agricultural Policies Washington. Aug. 4.—<U.R> -Two former Republican members of the new deal cabinet have been assigned the jobs of dissecting Gov. Alf M. Landon's agricultural policies , and challenging his right to raise ( the progrssive standard over his , I presidential campaign. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. WaNace and Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes will command new deal troops on those campaign fronts, supported by President Roosevelt from administration G I HQ. Ickes opened on Gov. Landon last night with a reply to his acceptance speech, charging the Kan san is no progressive but is linked with reactionary, Wall street Republicanism. New deal strategy calls for frequent Ickes attacks on Gov. Landon. The secretary has| been widely and favorably known to mid-west progressives for 20 years. In 1920 he was one of the Hiram W. Johnson-for-president managers. In the 1932 campaign Wallace, an lowan, plugged the Roosevelt-Garner ticket in the farm belt and Ickes organized the Roosevelt mid west p-ogressive Republican movement. Wallace will concentrate largely on agriculture and what shall be done about it in this campaign. But Ickes has three major 1936 ' assignments. 1. Challenging Gov. Landon's progressiveism. 2. Defending and explaining PW A spending.. 3. Appealing to negroes for new deal votes. As principal progressive Republican spokesman for the new deal, Ickes will be on c3Ti from the Democratic national committee. I His speech last night was the first of a series which will carry him 1 into the mid-west and into New , England. On invitation of Sen. ; George W. Norris, Ickes will speak iin Columbus. Neb., at a Sept. 4 i homecoming celebration. Norris, finally out of the Republican party I after years of progressive insurgi ency, is expected to run for rej election this year as an independ- ! ent. He win support the Roose-velt-Garner ticket. The Ickes-Wallace assault on I Landon's policies will not mature ■until next month, after the goverI nor has outlined in more detail j some of his mffjor policies. But , the new deal political research | staff has sifted Gov. Landon’s ut- : terances since 1932 and is loading its speakers with them. Ickes began using them last night in an effort to show’ that “Governor LanI don” was sympathetic to many ne wdeal methods now 'condemned by “candidate Landon.” o Mercer County Fair At Celina Aug. 16-21 The Mercer county fair will be held at Celina, Ohio, August 16 to • 21. The feature of the opening day will be the "Ash can derby" on Sunday afternoon, when old autos vaj1 tied at not more than SSO will race • in B. Ward Beam's racing event. A big six day's program has been arranged for the week, including ! horse racing, the New York musical 1 revue, “Listening In” and other attractions. o Assert Coughlin Will Be “Muzzled” i Vatican City.

Coughlin in a friendly manner to cont fine his speeches as far as possible s; to religious subjects and avoid -; political controversies entbarrassr i ing to the church, persons close ito the papal secretary of state
