CHICAGO CUBS TAKE SECOND Warneke Blanks Cardin-; als To Move Into Second Place Chicago. Sejt. 19. Lonnie Warneke kept ullve the Chicago Cubs’ almost dead hopes of overhauling thd New York Giants in the National league race by choking off the St. Louis Cardinals with three , hits for a 3 to 0 shutout triumph. ! The victory, the Cubs' sixth over the Cardinals in 17 starts this season, hoisted them back into second place, a half game ahead of the Gas House Gang but tive- full | games behind the virtually ‘'in" > Giants, who were* idle today. Warneke, who scored sliutouLs I over the Giants in his last twostarts against the league leaders,! i was a great pitcher as he racked j up his fifteenth decision of the. | campaign. And the Cubs, after ! wasting early scoring opportun- ! (ties, became infected with the I spirit of the thing in the fifth in' filing long enough to provide the lean Arkansan with his three run j I margin. The Browns doubled the White j Sox into defeat, 6 to 5, and shoved 1 Jimmy Dyke's men down into a j virtual tie with Detroit for runner-j up position to the champion Yanks in the American league race. Chicago has one percentage point edge over the 1935 world i champions. .538 to .537. The damaging doubling all came in the third inning and accounted < for five of the seventh place ! Browns' six runs. Jim Bottomley's | homer onto the right field pavilion i roof in the seventh was the other, i Young Bob Feller couldn't get j his fast bail past the Detroit Tig-; ers and so he and the Cleveland | Indians were clubbed 6 to 3 by the ex-world champions. Tommy Bridges, the Tigers': number one elbower, stole the | strikeout spotlight from Feller by | ■ fanning in Tribe batters, allowing I but four hits and walking only j three to chalk up his twenty-second ; victory of the year against 11 defeats. o BLUFFTON FAIR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I day.

Parrish and Tow-nsend will meet i Paul Haoichet and Bun Affolde--. who advanced to the finals by defeating Dailey and R. Affolder j in competition last week. The defending champions earni od the right to enter the finals i when they eliminated Alton and 1 Cline. The last year's title combina- , tion have had things pretty much their own way in this year’s tournaments, Townsend winning the singles title last week from Parrish, after both had won their way to the finals. Now they will team up to defend their doubles crown. Following the championship match. Deane Dorwin, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce ■will award the trophies, presented by the organization to all winners. The -trophies are awarded for one year, with the winner's name inscribed on the cup. Three wins are needed to secure permanent possession of the cup. Pauline Affolder, winner of this year's women's singles will be : presented with her trophy, which

she won for the first time. As yet no winner has his name on a cup more than once. LOYALISTS AND rrONTTNUED FROM PAGE ONE) of a terrific rebel air raid in reprisal for the dynamiting of the Alcazar yesterday —a dynamiting that failed, it is clearly apparent, now. and must be repeated. Believing that the raid might come during the night that has just passed, authorities ordered a complete blackout of lights at 11 o'clock last night. At 4 a. m. the thousands who waited sleepless for the sound of planes heard the unmiwakeable drone of the motors of a rebel bomber. No loyalist planes fly between dark and dawn. But the sound died away and no bomb explosions were heard at the United Press offices in the center of the city. Toledo 1s a city that might represent a madman’s tortured dreams of a hell. Down in the living rock under the ruins of the great fortresspalace of the Alcazar, rock on which the Romans first built a fort 2,123 years ago. are some where between 1.200 and 2,000 men, women and children. Loyalist officers, who at first believed that more than half of the besieged were killed in the dynamiting of the Alcazar yesterday. now confess that they doubt ■whether the great mines killed more tran a scattered few. o WANTED—To buy poultry.
