CASTINGS WINS FINAL GAME OF LEAGUE SERIES Decatur Castings Beats G. E. To Take League Championship Hitting Brokaw. C. E. pitcher, ai ease, the Decatur Castings softball team won the industrial league title last night, defeating 0. E„ in the final game of the year. Scoring two runs in the first the I foundry men were never headed,' and very seldom in danger. Singles by Price and R. Ladd and a double by V. Andrews netted the Castings two runs in the first. (J. E. retaliated by making their only major bid of the game by scoring two, on singles by J. Omlor, Baker and Busse. Neither team scored in the second. Castings scored three to open the third, with a single by Price, a fieiuer’s choice, single by Paint-. er, a double by V. Anders, another I single by V. Hill and a walk. In the last of the second G. E. loaded the bases on a pair of | singles by Gage and Baughn, and a walk, but Andrews retired the side without a score. From then on the game was never in doubt. ] Castings again scored three in l the fourth on a home run by A. Andrews, singles by Strickler and Price and a double by Wynn, which finished their scoring for the game. I The best that G. E. could do however, was a lone run in each of the fifth, sixth and seventh frames. Schneider in the sixth drove out one of the year's longest homers, with a circuit clout over the centerfielder's head. Price, Castings lead off man turnrd in the best performance at bat, i getting four single in four times at bat. Both pitchers, Brokaw for G. E.. and V. Andrews for Castings, allowed 12 hits. Castings made one error and G. E. committed four bobbles. Summary: RHE G.

ALL-STAR TILT IS SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT Rain Causes Postponement Last Night; 80,000 To Attend Chicago Sept. 2 —(UP) — Football’e moat spectacular show will be staged under the floodlights in Soldiers field tonight when the Detroit Lions meet the college all-stars after a 24-hour delay voted during' yesterday’s rainstorm. Elaborate pre-game ceremonies were scheduled at 7:2D p. m. CST., while a crowd expected to reach 81),000 settles in the giant lakefront horseshoe. Anxious to compete on a dry field, coaches cf both squads agreed to postponement suggested by direc- [ tors of the contest. “A dry field will be all the better for the fast All-Star backs." said head coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota. “The college boys all are on edge for thus game and I was hoping it could l>e played as planned. bnt we'll -be as ready as ever." The Lions were unconcerned, although dry turf would permit top speed from their high-geared offen-’ sive. Reiports of the collegians’ final drills indicated the 8X8)0.000 fans in 40 states chose a squad with more great ball carriers than blockers —and Bierman's Minnesota system requires eleven perfect jobs ’ on every play. Bierman and his aides, Bo McMil- 1 lin. Elmer Layden and Lynn Wai-; dorf, must start Capt. Riley Smith [ of Alabama at quarterback, MU' Shakespeare. Notre Dame, and Jay Berwanger, Chicago halfbacks, and: Sheldon Beise. Minnesota, fullback. 1 This unit includes at least three triple threat men, four superb detensive players, but no outstanding I blocker. In the event the attack is spilled j repeatedly by Detroit's aggressive, ends, Ed Klewicki and John Schnel- j ler, Bierman may rush in Dick Crayne ot lowa, who has mastered every backfie'd position. His value as a iblocker became apparent last season when he was the runningmate of lowa’s famed Ozzie Simmons. The All-Stars felt in the dark in

preparing a defense for the tricky professional champions. Only two starters, Vern Oeeh. a guard, and Dick Smith, a tackle, -both from Minnesota. are familiar with every iphase of professional play. Earl 'Dutch) Clark, captain and star quarterback of the Lions, will not start, according to coach Potsy Clark, who said he will be held in reserve until the champions need their sparkplug. Glenn Presnell will appear at quarter, with Ernie Caddell and Frank Christianson at halfback, and Ace Gutowski at fullback. Christianson will handle the (punt- ' ing until Bill Shepherd breaks into the game. Shepherd. Collegiate star of the second all-star game, has ■ established himself as a kicker. o UNITED PRESS TINGED FROM PAGE ONE) ‘ and the screaming sirens of police ! cars giving the alarm. It vividly recalled the air raids [ of the World Wdr on London, j [ which, which some members of i the United Press staff remember. Surprisingly, the usually cat-like censor did not interrupt the conversation as Pflaum remarked occasionally: "Did you hear that?” “I'll tell you when there is a really big bang." “Now I can hear the plane motors overhead." | When Pflaum paused so that | the faint hum of the motors (no government planes fly over the city between dusk and dawn) and the muffled boom of anti-aircraft guns could be heard plainly. The souniTs even registered on recording apparatus, as Pflaum I dictated slowly in order to permit 1 us in London to hear the noise of Madrid’s war. After dictating his news. Pflaum ! read off hundreds of words of 1 “hay” so that the censor would i not cut him off and he would be l able tc send the news of whatever happened. But the noise died out as ti e planes departed, and Pflaum | ram; off. I o Needle In Hand 25 Years Mt. Carmel.

HUNTS PUT CARDS TODAY Open Series At St. Louis After Beating Cubs Three Os Four, New York, Sept. 2. (UP) New. I York's pennant-hungry Giants, who| have stolen the National league] show from the preseason favored] Cubs and Cardinals, face their second crucial series within less than a week when they tangle with the Cards today in the first of two games in St. Louis. They face it. however, with a. great deal of confidence after bowl-| ing the Cubs over three out of four, at Chicago. This meeting also sets the stage] for a duel between Carl Hubbell] and Dizzy Dean, who have more 1 victories than any other pitchers in the league. Dizzy has won 22 and lost eight, while Hubbell has won 20 and lost six. Neither has worked since Sunday and both are a cinch to see service, but Bill Terry and Frankie Frisch may put their top hurlers in against weaker opponents in an attempt to gain an even break in the series and, keep them from each others’ throats. Manager Terry, continuing to, play first base in spite of his in- i jured knee, and little Mel Ott again were prominent in the Giants' 71 to 4 triumph in the finale with the) Cubs yesterday. Terry’s single and double drove] in three New York runs, while Ott I banged out a double and three; singles in five attempts, to pace the 12-hit attack against Curt Davis, Bill Lee, Charlie Root, and Clay Bryant. Jimmy Ripple singled in the seventh to run his hitting streak to 18 games, but it came with two out and did no damage. Harry Gumbert. who relieved Freddie Fitzsimmons in the second inning after a downpour of rain interrupted the game for 20 minutes, chalked up his first victory since July 25. The victory increased the Giants’ league lead to four games over the Cardinals whose contest with the Brooklyn Dodgers was rained out in the fourth inning with the j Dodgers leading 3-2. The Pittsburgh Pirates took a' 3-1 decision from the Boston Bees! as big Jim Weaver scattered seven' hits. Lou Scarsella’s ninth inning single drove in the winning run in the Cincinnati Reds’ 3-2 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. The New York Yankees were [ idle yesterday but their American league leau was a halt] game to 17 as the second place Cleveland Indians lost to the Bos-

S. Destroyer May Change Plans Os President i Aboard Presidential Special, Sept.] 2. (U.Rz President Roosevelt may 1 change his plans and return direct l !y to Washington instead of Hyde. Park next Sunday because of the potentialities contained in the bombing of the U. S. destroyer Kane last Sunday, it was reported today. The president aboard liis special train, re.tracted an'easterly course I through the drought area today, en- ' route to Des Moines and a confer-1 ence tomorrow with Gov. Alf M. j Landon. Republican presidential i nominee, and other mid west governors. He attended funeral ser- ] vices of George 11. Dem. secretary lof war, in Salt Lake City yester--1 day. I Though the president had no ' comment, Washington dispatches 1 reflected official fear of some disturbing incident so iong as American warships remain in Spanish waters and American nationals are ! In Spain. Had bombs from the Spanish plane struck the Kane, the resultant situation would have been grave. Mr. Roosevelt kept in close touch*] with the capital and conditions a-] broad. Special telephone lines! I strung through an open window ot [ his car at operating stop* gave him immediate contact with the state; department and secretary of state ■ Cordel' Hull. it was reported that the President 1 would defer his announced radio ad-: dress to the nation on the drought' i situation until he is back in Washington. It had been planned for him Ito deliver such an address from Indianapolis. Mr. R.-osevelt's train will take him across Utah and Wyoming to-' day to Julesburg, Colo., where he will hear the drought reports of 10-1 1 cal officials and talk with farmers ] thence to North Platte.
