CUBS GAIN ON CARDS, GIANTS French Blanks Pirates As League Leaders Are Idle Pittsburgh, Sept. 5. — The third place Chicago Cubs picked up half a game on the National league pace setters by trouncing the Pirates 8 to 0 behind Larry French's seven-hit pitching. With the league leading Giants and second place Cardinals idle, the victory left the Cubs four and one-half games back of the NewYorkers and half a game away from the Gas House gang. The victory was French’s seventeenth of th season. He was opposed at the start by Bill Swift, but Mace Brown was called on to finish up after he had given up a dozen hits in the less than eight innings he worked. While the batting slumps of Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio sent them through another hitless day. there was nothing wrong with Tony Lazerri s hitting eye. and so the New York Yankees trounced the Red Sox 9 to 6 in their series opener. Lazerri connected with one of Fritz' Ostermueller’s slants in the fourtn inning, with two men on base, and drove out his thirteenth | homer of the season to account for three runs, the margin by which I the Sox were downed. Buck Newsom pitched the Senators into sole possession of fourth place in the American League, i holding the Athletics to nine hits for a 7-to-3 victory in the opener of the current series. The win, Newsom's sixteenth of I the season, put the Nats a half game in front of the idle Chicago White Sox. with whom they were tied for fourth place. These were the only major league games scheduled.

Althoj the total number of traffic fatalities for the first seven month, 1936 is below the number for the similar period last year, t» has been a decided increase in deaths over the previous year 1 ing May. June and July. Unless there is a marked reduction this increase soon, safety experts fear that a new death record I be set in 1936 when a total of 37,000 were killed. Seeking solatia the traffic accident problem, safety experts and heads of police t sic bureaus are preparing for the 25th national safety congress exposition to be held at Atlantic City, Oct. 5 to 9. But safety c paigna s ~1 traffic laws alone will not curb the "slaughter", sa leaders say. The solution, they contend, still rests in the hand "the man behind the wheel”.
