CHICAGO CUBS DEFEAT GIANTS IN FIRST TILT Slugging Os Gabby Hartnett Leads Cubs To Victory Chicago, sept. 22- (U.R) —The Chicago t'uha, finally clicking again after a tumble that almost slumped them out of the National league pennant race, planned to ibrow rangy Tex Carleton at the I New York Giants today in the second game of their vital series with ; the league leaders Now only one and one-half | games in the lead. Manager Hill j Terry of the Giants indicated he will attempt to hold the Cults at , hay with Cliff Melton, who has scored 17 victories this season. Fair weather and another crowd of .10-odd thousand were predicted It was Gabby Hartnett's boom-! ins hat that slashed a full game off New York's lead yesterday. The roly-poly catching veteran dusted off three runs in the first ihning with a triple deep in center field and finally clinched it in the j eighth with a double scoring Bill Herman. The Cubs won 7 to 5. The standings to date: The first figure represents | games won: second, games lost: third, games itehind. and fourth, games to play: New York 85 54 !■> Chicago 85 57 l'-j 12 i Even the most loyal fans liudd- j ling in the stands or gathered around loud speakers in towns from Michigan to Nebraska ad netted the Cults had only a long chance of stopping the pressuring Giants. The Giants have hit a terrific j pace. They know as well as the j Cubs how much hangs on this ser-1 ies. and after the rough-shod manner in which they rallied against the St. Louis Cardinals they still , are confident despite loss of that opener. If they continue their present • pace—6l2—they will win nine of, the 15 games tfiey have left to • play. If they do that, the Cubs will have to win 10 of the 12 , games left —an even .825. The Cubs could burn tip the league with a dozen straight victories, starting today, and still not he a ; mathematical cinch. The Cubs got off to a four-run lead in the first inning of yesterday's game, on Hartnett's triple j after Stan Hack was safe on an error. Billy Herman had singled, i

NEW TRIAL IS GIVEN BUTASH Salesman Granted New Trial In Syndicalism Case . Indianapolis. Sept. 22. — (U.R) Paul Butush. Chicago magazine salesman convicted in Steuben ! county In 1936 for alleged state-, meats advocating overthrow of the government by violence, today was ready for a new trial after the state supreme court refused to re-, hear the case. Butash was sentenced to a term of one to live year* In the Indiana | ( state prison hut after a long legal battle the supreme court reversed the decision and ordered a new ■ trial. Late yesterday the high | court denied the petition of SteuInm county authorities asking the I court to reconsider its decision. "The state is unable tp supply 1 any evidence additional to that which was presented at the originul trial." Harris Hubbard, prose cuting attorney of Steuben county, said today when informed of the supreme court's decision. 'ln all probability he will not take any further action against Butash." In its original action In overruling the Steuhen county decision and ordering a new trial, the supreme court termed the case to be ‘‘so trival as to be almost beneath the notice of the law.” The high court failed to rule on the constitutionality of the syndi-; ] calism law. but stated the evidence in the Butash case was “so muddled and Incomplete” they were unable to see how a verdict of guilty could be sustained.

Reports after the afternoon visitation indicated that the I’nited States gunboats Luzon and Guam, | with ail but one of the embassy j staff aboard, remained at their j moorings at Nanking during the j raid. It was said that 50 Japanese planes took part in morning raids ! and 60 in afternoon raids, but that though they were outnumberjed and outclassed the Chinese I fighting planes challenged the Japanese fleets and kept most of them from the city area. People feared here that the Nanking situation was bad Reliable foreigners, arriving from Nanking, said that all gas masks had been coufistcaed by authorities and that thousands of people —this was before today's raids —were huddled in dugouts. fearing the city would be destroyed. Hundreds of laborers, the travelers said, were building dugouts in the streets, tearing up sidewalks to do so even in the business district. The travelers estimated that half the population would be : able to get into shelter. Urgent work on dugouts, it was said, was due to casualties caused in air raids Saturday when ill-built dugouts collapsed.
