YANKEE HOMERS BEAT CHICAGO IN TWIN BILL Yanks Clout Five Home Runs To Beat White Sox Two Games New‘York. Aug- 4 — (U.R) IS there anybody else in the house who wants to challenge the Yun kFbs? The bold and defiant Whit*' Sox. wbo've been hanging on with bulldog tenacity, were in complete , retreat today before their murder- ( ous hats. After the shellacking. they took yesterday, they may bo 100 punch drunk to hang onto second place in the face of the I'fSlng Boston Red Sox. With fifi.767 fans one of the I largest week-day crowds in all baseball history looking on. the 1 Yanks .gave the White Sox a home , run party they'll never forget. 1 When file smoke had cleared away I they had blasted the White Sox , to defeat twice. 7-2 and 5-3. Only home runs counted. The Yanks I only hit five of them but what ( home runs they were! At the end of four hours of ding-dong baseball, the Yanks had the throng loco from their dramatic dynamics. Imagine these things happening , In one afternoon with the pennant | at stake: Lou Gehrig, playing in 19Ot‘th I consecutive game, hitting a 400' foot homer with two on. Joe Di .Maggio, hot on the trail ( of Babe Ruth's 60-hotner record hitting No. 32 of the season with two on. This one was about 415 feet. Tony Lazzeri hit a pair of horn ers —-one in each game -and one < of them traveled over 400 feet. Bill Dickey crashing a 440-foot • homer into the right field stands I with the bases loaded in the ' eighth inning and the Yanks trail , ing by two runs. Cold type can’t describe the: scene as the Yanks routed their nemesis, Thornton Lee, in the first game and went on to break

Johnny Whitehead's heart in the second. Lee and Whitehead con--1 centrated on every pitch, bore down every second, never gave up pitching with head and heart. But five bad pitches five swings by ' Gehrig. DI .Maggio, Dickey and Lazzeri (2) and they went the way of all pitchers who toss one that's a little too fat to a Yankee hitter. Altogether the Yanks got only 17 hits. 9 off Lee and 8 oil Whitehead. Red Ruffing won thfirst (fame for the Y’anks, No. 14 tor him. and Johnny Murphy, who relieved Lefty Gomez, won the second That is they were credited with the victories. Those booming cannons manned by Gen rig. Di Maggio. Dickey and Lazzeri beat down and broke the back of a good, game ball dub Don't worry about the White Sox any more. They're battling for second money from now on. Is there anybody in the house who wants to challenge the Y'all kees? From afar, there's a weak reply: "Save an October date for me " It's the Chicago Cubs. And on the very day when the Yanks beat the daylight out of their hometown rivals, the Cubs rose up it [ the National league to emulate the Yankees. They slammed down the Phillies, 4-1, and no runs counted unless they were homers. Frank Demaree hit one with a man on. Gabby Hartnett and Bill Lee also hit one. And the only run made off Lee was a homer by Hershel Martin. Both the Yanks and Cubs are 7 games on top. Only a conflagration or an epidemic can keep them from the world series. In the other rAmerican league games the Red Sox beat Cleveland, 13-2.* Washington nosed out the St. Louis Browns, 3-2, in a 12-inning game, and Earl Brucker's homer gave the Athletics a 2-1 victory over Detroit. Terry Moore hit a circuit clout with two on to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-2 victory over the Boston Bees. Chick Hafey's single in the 10th drove in the run by which Cincinnati handed the New York Giants their 6th defeat in the last 7 games. 3-2. Pittsburgh shook down Brooklyn for a dou ble victory. 5-4 and 10-4 Gus . Suhr's single with the bases load-1 ed in the 9th won tho first game | and Al Todd's two triples and 1 double featured the Pirates' 14hit attack in the nightcap.

An estimated $3,000,000 of the • increase was added to meet old i age pensions which will lie paid i to a greater number of persons: a year from now when the age limit drops from 70 to 65 years. The amount budgeted for personal service salaries of county directors, their social workers and assistants — was raised from I $567,069 this year to $1,076,935 in 1938. Part of the boost was necessitat- . ed because of the increased numi ber of employes required n -xt ; year and also by the new rules ' of the board fixing minimum salaries to be paid and the minimum number of employes on each! county pay roll. The 92 counties in the state will be required to raise $6,923,832 by , a tax levy on property as their part of the $21,000,000 program. The remainder will be paid by the state and federal governments Rapid increase in welfare costs was shown by the budget report | which revealed that in June, 1936, there were 30.916 persons received . an average of $7.97 per month in ' i old age pensions while in June of i this year the total increase to 39,218 persons received sls 53.

KIDNAPED BOY IS ,5. PY ing him. The dark haired baby was snatch- | ed from the back yard of the Horst home late yesterday afternoon as he played in his sandpile and as Mrs. Horst sat nearby watching him. "We told her who we were." Regan told Crowley, "and said we wanted the baby. "She wouldn’t let us have him and so we took him anyway. Regan said that Fred Ewert. ; friend of the Horsts, drove the | automobile in which they fled from the quiet far westside ueighbor- ; I hood after taking the baby. 1 ' A man and a woman stepped from an automobile yesterday near • the front walk of the home which I the Horsts recently had rented. .' Slipping through some shrubbery, 1 they approached Mrs. Horst and 1 the child. i j “Are you Mrs. Horst?" they askred. "Yes," she replied. I “Is this Donald?" She said it was and upon this the man seized the baby and start- , ed to run back the way he had ' | come. Mrs. Horst, diminutive, red-hair-ed. leaped to her feet and grappled ' with her heavier opponent. “They're taking my baby," she screamed. Neighbors ran to her aid but they were beaten off and the couple, accompanied by the child and an unidentified man in the driver's seat, drove away. At 5:30 p. m. approximately an hour after the kidnaping, a man telephone the Horsts that “your baity is safe, but we want $5,000 1 ransom.” Hours later another message was ■ delivered. “The right father and the right mother have the baby now." is said. Police meanwhile studied these startling coincidences: 1. The shout of the woman in the escaping automobile that “this baby is mine, not yours.’ 2. The statement of a sister of Mrs. Horst, Mrs. Bernice Parker. ■ that Mrs. Horst had shown no signs of expectant motherhood a month before Donald's birth. 3. Mrs. Horst's own conflicting statements regarding whereabouts of the baby's birth. First she had said the baby was born in Belmont , hospital, Chicago, Jan. 4. 1935. Hospital records failed to bear out her story and then she said he was born at the home of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Trioli. 4. The later message regarding the “right father and mother," and 5. Neighbors' identification ot Ewert as the man who came to the Horst home while they were being questioned by police and left word that "doc" had called. He supposedly referred to Dr. John Rose, a one-time business associate of Horst and said to be the physician who delivered the baby. There also was the identification ot Ewert by Arthur Humberg, 24. automobile salesman, who said he ; had loaned a car to Ewert. It was Humberg's car that was traced from the kidnaping—all this, despite reports that the Horsts and Ewert were friendly. o Liby Funeral Rites To Be Held Thursday Funeral services will be held Thursday for William Liby, retired farmer, who died at his home in Monroe Monday night. Services will be held at the home at 1:36 p m. Thursday and at 2 o'clock at the Mmroe Methodist Episcopal church. Burial in the Decatur cemetery.
