TRADE IS BOON TO TWO HURLERS Wes Ferrell. Buck Newsome Improte In New Surroundings New York. June 17. (U.P.) Sometimes a change in uniforms works wonders with a ball player. That seems to be the case with Wesley Ferrell and Buck Newsom. They i were discontented and a couple of large headaches to their respective managers. On June 10 Washington shipped Newsom and Ben Chapman to the Boston Red Sox in return for the Ferrell brothers. West and I Rick, and Mel Almada. The shift in scenery transformed Newsom and Ferrell into pitching fools. They both won their second j games within a week for their I new teams yesterday. Newsom | pitched the Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox., Wes Ferrell hurled Washington to a 2-1 victory over Detroit in 12 innings. Prior to their shift Newsom’s record was three game won and four lost and Ferrell s three games won and six lost. Newsom had been able to pitch only two com- [ plete games and had been knocked out in four of his last five I starts with the Senators. Ferrell hadn’t been able to win a game’ since May 26 and had been pounded out in three of his four starts with the Red Sox. In his first start for the Red Sox Newsom beat the Tigers, 5-4. allowing only six hits. Ferrell set the White Sox down with four hits in his first game with the Senators. Then with three days rest they both come back to win again and keep their records at 1.000 per cent for their new teams. Ferrell limited Detroit to eight hits in stopping the Tigers for his second triumph. His brother, Rick, scored the winning run in the 12th after he had singled, advanced to third on two infield hits, and caine in on a wilu pitch by Jack Wade. Newsom permitted only five hits in notching his second victory. His wildness (walk ing 10 men) had him in hot water several times. After walking the first three men to face him he didn’t allow a hit until the sixth. Gene de Sautels' double with the bases loaded provided the Red Sox big punch. The New York Yankees increased their American league lead to two games by turning back Cleveland, 4-1, behind Lefty Gomez’s six-hit pitching. Gomez fanned the first five men to face Jiim and struck out nine altogether. George Selkirk’s double with the bases loaded accounted for three Y’ankee runs. Home runs by Harland Clift and Tom Carey tied the score and Beau Bell’s single after two St. Louis batters w’alked enabled , the Browns to beat the Athletics. 3-2. It was the A’s fourth straight de- , teat. An eighth inning rally which scored three runs enabled the New DECATUR THURSDAY, June 24 ONE DAY ONLY H. P.

SOVIET RUSSIA OUSTS TRAITORS Believed Hundreds Executed In Soviet Union Campaign Moecow. June 17 —(UP) —A mermilese campaign for extermination of “traitors” spread through Soviet Russia from the Philtic and Black Seas to the Pacific today. Hundreds of men were involved already, newspapers which denounced long lists of men as wreckers, spies, traitors. Trotskyism, scoundrels, bandits, rightists, nationalists and enemies of the people ended their blasts with the significant “and others.” It was announced that A. G. Cherviakov. President o fthe White Russia Republic, had committed suicide "for personal and family reasons.” •Fnt coincidently It was revealed that the communist party executive for White Russia had sent him a note asking why he permitted “traitors” to sidetrack plans for two important military inventions. Criticism extended even to Valery Mezhlauk, commissar for heavy industry in the cabinet of the Soviet Union. Pravda, official newspaper organ of the communist party, warned that it was time for him to introduce “Bolshevist order” in the automotive and subsidiary industries. As In the case of arrests, them

was no means of obtaining authentic figures on executions. There was only one specific announcement for any area—the far east, where the newspaper Pacific Star announced that 94 men had been executed. j But the very announcement of charges gainst scores of men named in newspapers meant that they must face firing squads. j Names of prominent men dismtecI ed or arrested mounted hourly. G. | j M. Krutov, president of the far eas- • tern Republic, was relieved of his ■ duties yesterday and expelled from ; the central executive committee of his government. No reason was glvI en. President Larin of the Black j Sea executive committee was deI nounced as an enemy of the people. Kalmonivich, until recently com- ; missar for state farms of the whole ’ union, was arrested as a wrecker I along with others of almost equal prominence. o_— Ask Amendment j Os Relief Bill Washington. June 17 — (UP) — Mojority leader Joseph P. Robinson D., Ark, asked the senate today to amend the $1.50<).00l),000 relief bill to require local communities to (provide 25 per cent of the cost of work relief projects. Robinson's proposal, which came as a surprise in view of the pre- | viously expressed attitude of the I administration, was designed as an . amendment to the proposal sponsored by Sen. James F. Byrnes, D„ S. Carolina, which would have reI quired .local communities to bear I 40 percent of the re'.ife cost.

NYA DIRECTOR I , LISTS CHANGES State NYA Districts Are Now Cut From Nine To Six Indianapolis, Ind., June 17 —(UP) —Robert 8. Richey, state director | of the National Youth Adminlstra-i tion, today announced reorganization. Instead of the nine district offices maintained formerly, there will now be only six Richey said. The two district headquarters at Gary and South Bend will be combined at South Bend. The Fort Wayne and Muncie offices have been consolidated at Fort Wayne and the Terre ■ Haute and Lafayette offices at Lafayette. i Reorganization of the Indiana' NYA follows a plan recently Inau-, gurated by the WPA, Richey point- j ed out. “Since the work of the two organ-1 izations is closely allied in some' branches, such as recreation and some types of works 'projects, it was j found expedient to maintain t|}e * same district headquarters,” he j said. Newly-appointed district NYA directors include Mason T. Evans at South Bend, Conn J Sterling at I Fort Wayne, and Benjamin R.! Thompson at Lafayette.
