It kept the Cubs 2*4 games behind the leading New York Giants, who were* forced into extra innings to beat St. Louis. Babby's four-bagger followed DeMareZs single, one of the four hits given up by Max Butcher. The Dogers gave the Cubs a scare in the ninth when they scored once and had the tying run on third base, but it was Gabby who cut off that potential marker. George Cisar. running for Babe Phelps, took a long lead off third, and. as Curt Davis began his windup to pitch to Gil Brack, he broke for home. Hartnett stuck out his big mitt, caught the ball. and. on a close play, got Cisar at the plte. The Giants also had a narrow squeak.

He called for prelection of the constitution and an independent judietary as the "only bulwark through which to (preserve tne freedom and liberty of jhe citizen."

BUCKEYES LOSE FOOTBALL STARS 4 Ohio State To Abandon Razzle-Dazzle Style Os Play (Copyright 1937 by United Press), Columbus, 0.. Sept. 20 (U.R> It’s a new kind of Ohio State foot ball team ruddy Francis Schmidt ‘labored over today an underdog, (lacking polish, and probably definitely through with the famed ratzle dasale offensive that thrilled I the Big Ten for three seasons. For the first time since Schmidt i came out of the southweat with his j complicated system of forward and I lateral pusses, the Buckeyes were jnot being hailed along high street [as the new scourge of the nation. Their eleven ball-handlers of last I season —Tippy Dye. Johnny Beltridge and Frank Antenucci — all were gone and in their places was a new crop of hard running backs who love straight, hard footbajl. "Our offense probably will be nothing fancy." Schmidt admitted i i "One thing we can be sure of. our ' running attack is stronger than j usual and the whole team could ! I>e better than last season. “We could be Iretter and look worse. Everybody we play is 'tougher and that opener with; (Texas Christian puts,us against an i experienced team the very first 1 game." | Despite his graduation losses. 'Schmidt can start an experienced teath from his 14 returning letteri men. Reserve strength is the big problem, although the ends vacated by Merle Wendt and Frank (Cumiskey and quarterback, left! open by Dye's graduation, are sore [spots on the first eleven.

The weapons had been made from scraps of materials available about the prisou, and accumulated for the break. The warden, captain, and two guards. Martin and Janies Kearns, were in the office for the routine interviews with prisoners, who were filed in a long line outside the door. The seven prisoners slipped into the line. Wesley Eudy, one of the seven, reached his turn at the window facing the desk where the warden sat. Eudy pushed the clerk in the face. That was the signal to his six companions. They charged into the office and overpowered the four officers. They ordered Larkin to instruct the guard in the gun tower to withhold fire when they would rush the gate, with the warden and captain as hostages. "That wouldn't do any good." Larkin said. “The guards have orders to fire regardless of who is being held hostages.” They pounced on the warden and captaifl. hacking them with the knives. Martin and Kearns also went flown, the latter only slightly

. hurt. The clerk fled from the office and ran from one guard station to another helping to spread the alarm The clerk was u convict trusty. Prison authorities praised his loy-, 1 alty and withheld his name to savej him from the vengeance of other
