RED SOX TAKE SECOND PLAGE Win Nine In Row; Yankees Sweep Series With White Sox New York, Aug. 6— (U.R) —Boston’s Red Sox rode a nine game winning streak into second place of the American league today, but were too far behind the pacesetting New York Yankees to be identified as challenger The Yanks crushed the Chicago White Sox. 13-8, to extend their margin to nine games yesterday. And witlt Boston entertaining the pale hose for the next three days, the New Yorkers have a fine chance to lengthen that margin with the runners-up killing each other off. Boston, shading the Cleveland Indians. 5-4, swept a four game series. This followed a three game sweep over Detroit and two straight over St. Louis which ele vated the Red Sox five points j above Chicago in the standings. L Newsom limited the Indians to eight hits in scoring his 10th victory. while the Red Sox jumped', on Willis Hudlin for 11 to hand him his seventh defeat. The Yankees won despite being outhit 14-10, and it gave them their fifth straight victory with Chicago being victims in the last four. Lou Gehrig walloped home runs No. 24 and 25. driving in J five runs. The winners in both other American league games were on the short end of total hits. On eight hits Detroit won 5-3 over the Philadelphia Athletics who got j nine, and St. Louis, with only nine * safeties, took a 7-4 decision from ; the Washington Senators who col- ] lected 13 The National league race show-< ed signs of tightening up as the j leading Cubs dropped their second straight to the Philadelphia Phillies.

It' was a pitchers’ duel in which Cly- j dell Castleman, who allowed eight hits, bested “Lefty" Lee Grissom.! who was solved for 10. A two I bagger by Leslie, and singles by I Dunning, Ryan and Whitehead furnished the power for New | York’s tallies in the 12th.

Aug. 6.--(U.R)- In which a man who is suffering from I ! acute sealegs makes public a fewprivate opinions on the America s cup series, which, thank lawdy. ended yesterday. There never will be another challenge for the homeliest of all cups ] until the regulations of the race are changed and smaller boats substituted for the class J type.' I believe this for two reasons, the first being that the monster articles , like Ranger cost too much money. Sopwiths don’t grow on trees. Most millionaires are likely to ; think twice before opening his | change purse and pouring a million dollars into a challenge. In the second place, there is the chance that Mike Vanderbilt’s Ranger has killed class J. She is so swift, so perfect in any and all types of weather, that she maychase all her rivals off the sea. discourage other yachtmen from trying to improve on her, or even match her. I dislike to bring the sordid game of box fighting into a discus- ■ . sion of yachting but there is a par- , allel between Ranger and a champion fighter who is too good for his class. When a champion gets too deadly his class withers /way from lack of competition. Yachtsmen have a higher scorn for persons who don’t like r understand their game than any other group of sportsmen. And they can outpose even the A. A. U. officials at track meets. This of course, places them head, shoulders, neck I ■ and Adam’s apple above any other posers in the world. The goal of all marine men is I to do everything the hardest way. I Otherwise, why would they build boats without motors and then insist on sailing them dead against' | the wind? Why would they use' flags to convey messages, and hells to announce the time? Speaking of bells. I’ve heard so many in the past week that my head is ringing with half a hundred of them. So many, in fact, that two Swiss gentlemen have been pestering me all day to rent them my head for a concert tour. Sailors ( ring bells at dinner, supper, breakfast, when a man goes overboard, when it’s full speed ahead, when it’s full speed to one side, when it’s foggy, when it’s clear, when it’s anything. If Sherman Hoyt were to take the helm of Endeavour 2nd and go out against Ranger tomorrow he’d be no longer a shot than 6 to 5. The only way to ever prove just how superior Ranger is to Endeavour 2nd would be for Vanderbilt and Ranger to swap boats and I stage a match race. If such a race : were held it would draw the biggest spectators fleet in the history of the cup. and Vanderbilt, on Endeavor 2nd, would be the betting favorite. There is nothing that will cure seasickness but land and time.

NINE PERSONS DIE VIOLENTLY Onlv Two Traffic Victims, Five Persons Take Own Lives (By United Press) Nine persons died violent deaths in Indiana during the last 24 hours, five of them by committing suicide. Only two were killed in traf- j fie accidents. Samuel D. Symmes. 80. former I publisher of the Crawfordsville, Sunday Star, was fatally injured when he was struck by an automobile driven by Roy Keller. 22, ■ 1 at Crawfordsville. Near Batesville Mrs. Alice Brown. 55, was killed when the I door of an automobile in which she was riding came open on a curve, plunging her to the pavement. i The body of Samuel E. Flanigan. 70, was found hanging in a building on his farm near Crawfordsville. and relatives attributed his suicide to poor health. Samuel Mclntyre, 72. shot himself while sitting on a bench in a cemetery near Farmland and Milburn Huckelbery of Beech Grove also shot himself to death while standing over the graves of his wife and daughter at Muncie. The Allen county coroner returned a suicide verdict after Mrs. Mae Kleinrichert. 36. died of an : overdose of sleeping power. Harmon Irland, Parke county clerk, despondent over the death of his wife, went to her grave in a Rockville cemetery, place d a wreath on it and slashed his throat. An unidentified transient was killed at Peru when he fell under the wheels of a C. & O. railroad train. At Brazil John Elder, GO. died as a result of injuries sustained when a wagon under which he took shelter during a storm was struck by lightning a week ago. o FAIR SIDELIGHTS ■ ~y , , T PAGE ONE) assisted home by several Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts have proven an invaluable aid at the Red Cross tent, Mrs. Oscar Lankenau, nurse in charge, stated today. They have also performed other good deeds along the midway. Those assisting ■ Mrs. Lankenau at the booth are: How-ard Gehrig, Bob Ahr, Fred Bixler. Dick Linn. Bob Kohne, Bob Lammiman, Bob Deitsch, Paul 1 Lord and Max and Rev Heare. Etola Jane Eady was administered first aid at the Red Cross tent yesterday when she fell, injuring her arm and knee. After first aid treatment she was sent to a physician. A total of 28 patients were treated at the Red Cross booth previous to today, Mrs. Lankenau stated. Ten were registered Tuesday, eight on WednesHay and ten again Thursday. Fair-goers' have been asked to confine their requests for broadcasts over the public address system to only those of a more urgent nature. Last night Marcellus Miller, at the microphone, estimated that more calls were made from 9 until 11 o’clock than the ■ entire earlier part of the day.

, I This was attributed to the fact | ‘that people wanting to go home . sought tile loudspeaker as a means I of locating the rest of their party. A record for noise was thought to have been established at the information booth last night. Four lust children were crying at the , same time. To further add to the bedlam, two radios were playing and the telephone constantly ring ing, plus the usual carnival noise j j.-c Weber, of Fourth street, was hit by an auto yesterday while ridj ing itiri bicycle to the local library. He sustained minor bruises, which were treated at a nearby physician's office. State police were suddenly called away from the street fair tiere this afternoon to apprehend a pair of shortchange artists working in Bryant. The pair were captured at Berne. Returning to Bryant, they reportedly made good the loss. o LEADERS HOPE i'ONTI WFTi b'UOM FMCIF OVF» I dieted. 2. General crop control legisiai tion. Hopes for farm legislation at this session were abandoned ' recently when farm leaders faile I 1 to agree on methods for crop con--1 trol, but a strong bloc of adminlsI tration senators and repres nta tlves has demanded action before i next session. Sen. Hugo L. Black. D., Ala., obtained 40 signatures to I a petition for a special session in ! October, despite demands of both house and senate agriculture committee chairmen that the legislation be delayed until January. 3.
