MONTPELIER TO , PLAY DECATUR TEAM SUNDAY Mies Semi-Pros To Meet Montpelier At W orthman Field The Decatur baseball sane are In line tor the biggest treat of the sea- j son next Sunday afternoon whenthe Decatur semi-pro club meets: Montpelier at Worthman field. Montpelier comes to Decatur well recommended with a clean slate in games played and a team batting average of .291. The visitors have played five games and won all of themDecatur will Ibe out for blood in I this game. They lost to Celina last I Sunday 7-2 and marred a perfect I record for the year. To win back 1 their former prestige and put them-] selves in the running to claim the - championship of Northern Indiana.! they must continue where they left , off before laet Sunday’s game. The locals played ragged ball againet Celina and allowed them to; score five unearned runs. Vaufan Snedeker, in committing his first error of the year, permitted one run to score. An error on second ’ pace cost two more runs, and Rol ’ Ladd's failure to handle a fasti drive through short, left in two runs. For this Sunday the management of the local team has announced a ladies day. All ladies accompanied by an escort will be admitted free. I Molly Mies, manager of the locals,. stated yesterday that he expecte to have another team of the Celina caliber here this week. Montpelier hae I not played any of the teams met by j either Decatur or Celina but they , have played -in fast competition all; year. I The game will be called at 2:30. i Admission for men will be 25 cents 10 cents for children. __ ROOSEVELT IS (CttHTIKITKn FHOIC , AGB leaders in reaching the decisions, but all indications from the White House were that there would be intensification rather than diminution of the pressure for action on the court issue, at least. One obstacle facing the leadership - shaken by the loss of Robinson—was the growing demand for adjournment. It came chiefly from members of the house and senate not in sympathy with the ; court program but provided a delicate problem for congressional loaders in view of the sweltering capital heat and the warning of Sen. Royal S. Copeland. D, N.Y.. a physician, that other senators were risking dangers by remaining in the thick of the parliamentary battle. Three outstanding problems were of concern to the senate, central battleground of the summer session, as a result of Robinson's death: 1. Continuation of the legislative program, with emphasis on the court 1, 11. With the house leadership awaiting senate action, it appeared that the outcome of the judiciary conflict would decide

GIANTS TAKE FIRST PLACE IN NATIONAL' Hubbell Beats Pirates As j Chicago Cubs Lose To Boston New York. July 15.—(U.R) Both New York's major league teams. Hhe Yankees and Giants, were in- ; stalled today as the ones to beat —unless the other clubs want to I sit by and witness a recurrence of I last year's subway world's series. The Yanks have been at the top of the American league since May I 24 and steadily are drawing away I from the opposition. The Giants won their way to the top perch in the senior loop yesterday, uprooting the Chicago Cubs who had held sway since June 15. Putting together their longest I winning streak in three years, the Yankees yesterday walloped the Detroit Tigers, 10-2, for their eighth consecutive victory. Red ■ Ruffing, who scared Manager Joe McCarthy half to deatli by his long holdout siege last spring, turned I the Bengal* back with but five hits to score his 11th victory. The loss ; dropped Detroit all the way from I second to fourth place, and inI creased the Yankees’ lead to six j and one-half games. Regaining his early season masi tery. southpaw Carl Hubbell pitched the Giants into the lead with a I four-hit 4-2 decision over the Pittsburgh challengers. It was the screwball king’s 13th win of the j year, and his fifth straight since | the four losses that interrupted a 24-game winning streak over two seasons. Both the Cubs tallies were unearned, being the result of a pair of errors by shortstop Bartell, but Dickie made up for ; the boots by poling out three ex tra*ase hits—two doubles and his 13th homer of the year. Mel Ott i clouted his 18th circuit blow. The Cubs dropped into second j place when they took it on the I chin. 2-1, from the Boston Bees, the same team they licked to take | the lead in mid June. Jim Turner ; doled out five hits to Bruin batsmen. The Cubs protested the winning run when Deb Garins slid into home in the fifth, but Umpire Goetz called him safe. Cincinnati defeated Brooklyn 5-3 j for four wins in a row. Kampour- , is’ long fly with the bases loaded ' and Goodman’s single pushed over I the winning runs in the ninth. Rookie Lee Grissom kept six hits | scattered to the Dodgers before he ■ was banished ffTTV the game along i with catcher Babe Phelps of the Dodgers when they began exchanging blows after a collision at the plate in the ninth. St. Louis at Philadelphia was rained out. The Boston Red Sox replaced Detroit in second place in the American league when they laid down a 21-liit barrage to swamp ■ the St. Louis Browns. 15-6. Hig- : gins and Mills homered for Boston; Clift for St. Louis. The Chicago White Sox. seven percentage ', points behind Boston, also won, 64, from Philadelphia in a game I halted after four and a half inI nings because of rain. Willis Hudlin scored his ninth win of the I season, limiting the Washington I Senators to seven hits as the Cleveland Indians pounded out an 11- ; 3 victory. Averill and Trosky ; homered for Cleveland. 'I Yesterday's hero: Dick Bartell, Giant shortstop, who got three ex- ‘ tra-baSe hits to load his team's 4-2 win over Pittsburgh. . _ — — I Today’s Sport Parade I (By Henry McLemore) | New York, July 15 —(UP) — As the todays melt into yesterdays, and ’ the grave looms increasing large, I am becoming convinced that the prime purpose of a sporta writer is to sit in front of a desk and listen to publicity agents talk big about

small things. For example, an agent wearing a gray hat and seersucker trousers, has been sticking as close to me as a Siamese twin for the past two weeks telling me about a horse named “Greyhound.” the agent started slowly. He first acquainted j me with the parents of “Grey-' hound,” and then worked up into such vital Information as that ; “Greyhound” ate four uarts of oats at five in the morning, six quarts 1 of mash al 11 in the morning and four qquartts of oats just before the ' Sun sank beyond the horizon. As soon as I had "digested” these illuminating statistics the agent, in a burst of confidence, let me in on; the secret that “Greyhound” was : 16 2 hands high at the withers and 15.1 hands from point of breast to swell of quarters. I was so aippre- ■ ciative of this information that 1 asked my man in the gray hat, who I by this time was sitting on my desk and bumming cigarettes, who in the, name of goodness was this horse, Greyhound? He proceeded to tell me that Greyhound was undoubtedly the, finest four-footed outfit that ever j switched a tail, kicked the slats out of a stall, or bit the hand that fed him sugar, and that he was going to try and pull a buggy over a halfmile course faster than a buggy had ever been pulled over a half-mile course before. “When is this going to happen?” ,1 said, trying to hide my emoption. “It is going to happen on Thursday July 15, at Goshen, New York,” he replied. "You must come up. Al-1 leady we have sold 15,090 tickets. t and I would not be surprised if 25.000 'persons were in the stands when Greyhound came out on the track with his buggy.” The publicity agent did not like what I said from there on. I asked him, in the first p'ace, how he figured that anyone could care what any horse, be it Greyhound, Black Beauty, or the ipnlde of the milk wagon fleet, did a half-mile in with buggy attached. This sent him off into a disenussion of the improvement of the breej and he might have been talking yet, had I not interrupted to say that with the human race in the fix it was in at the present time, I couldn't see any sense in worrying about what happened to horses. "Well,” my man said, “whether it means anything or not, it affords a tine spectacle.” I challenged this with the speed of a mother hen protecting her . brood from a stray hawk. “Don’t tell me,” I said "That

there is anything Insipring or exciting in a sight of a horse and buggy. I don’t think 1 would like the combination even if they were shot out of a cannon by the Zacchin! boys. A horse, viewed from any angle, is homely.” ■ “And a buggy—” • Without another word, I walked from my office, descended to the street, and stepping into my surrey road away behind the four spanking bays, whose names are Hudson, Baffin, Fundy and Rum. o HONOR SENATE I -VW’V• r»Tat 10 p. m. tomorrow, accompanied by his widow, who now is en route to Washington.
