PRO FOOTBALL GAME RESULTS Brooklyn And Pittsburgh Head Eastern League Division (By United Press) The Brooklyn Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates were tied for the j lead of the eastern division of the national football league today, each with two victories and one defeat. The Pirates had their perfect ' record broken yesterday when they were nosed out. 10-7. by the New, York Giants before a crowd of 33.OOt) at Pittsburgh. A fourth period placekick from the 12-yard line was the deciding margin after Richards had scored a touchdown for New York in the second and Karcis had evened the score with j one for Pittsburgh in the third. It was also a field goal that decided Brooklyn's j)-7 victory over ; Cleveland. The Dodgers were trail- ■ ing 7-6 with two minutes to play when Baldy Crane place-kicked the ball. Mattos scored a touchdown and kicked goal in the first period for Cleveland. Goddard scored for Brooklyn in the same session, but Kercheval's placement for extra point was blocked Cleveland protested the game because of a re- ; covered fumble and 43 yard touchdown run by Sam Busick was called back by referee Tom Thorpe, who ruled that the play was a misdirected lateral pass. The Philadelphia Eagles played their best game of the season, earning a 6-6 tie with the Chicago Cardinals after suffering three straight setbacks. Pangle scored for the Cards in the first period, and with! less than two minutes to play' Smukler got off a 32-yard pass over the goal line to Carter that evened the score.

Mm bed Nanking and Canton anew today and opened a mass assault all along the Shanghai front. Communication with Nanking was broken twice by mid-atternoon as fleets of Japanese bombers seeking to terrorizze the capital, struck again after a 24-hour respite. Big fleets rained bombs over the iwh..’e Canton area. j Coincidently with a new drive, ion the Shanghai frcnt, which re- ( ijorts indicated to be the most ferocious of the entire war. three great Japanese planes dropped 550-pound j ? bombs in the North railroad station section of Shanghai, adjoining the , International settlement. So terrific was the c.flcussion that thousands iin the settlement fled to shelter,; fearing that the Foreign area was the target. Japanese warships bombarded Hainan Island, at the southern end of China, one of the most important islands strategically in the tar east because it dominates Hong Kong and Philippine Islands. , A Japanese navy landing party stormed Huantao and Huton Is-' lands, on the coast between the i Shanghai and Cantcn areas, and seized them. Chinese sources reported that Japanese airplane fleets merclless!v bombed the cities of Kweiehi and Shangjao. north of Canton. | Japanese sources asserted that their planes bombed the Sopwith (British) airplane plant outside Nanking in a morning raid. United States Fourth Marine headquarters hers received reporta that the Japanese planes blew up a sulphuric acid p’ant at Nanking. As effort was made to ascertain damage and causalties resulting

from the morning raid, comirunica-1 lions to Nanking tailed for the sec- , ond time t-day at 2:30 p. nt. The bombardment of the North ‘ railroad station here caused panic.! Bornfos used were the largest ever ; dropped in the Shanghai area. They i shook buildings all through the Cen-; | tral business district of the Inter-1 > national settlement. It was not certain whether the . battle raging on the Shangai front was the final Japanese drive. But it was on a big scale and reports from the battle front indicated that ! causalties c«a both sides were frightful. Japanese artillery and trench motars had been active a'l night. At dawn the Japanese infantry I went over—except at one point. ' there, at the "Eternal Peace” bridge ■ I midway between Liuhang and Hang. Hang. Chinese troops stormed and captured the bridge. This attack was ordered by Ger. Chu Shoe-Lang. New Chinese commander in chief. During the weeit-end he former war lord of Kansu Province. ; succeeded Gen. Chang Chi Chung, ! who left for Nanking several days ago. TRUSTEES SET 'CONTIMry;D KKOM PAt4R oyfc> sary v place the families on the township relief rolls.

OPEN CAMPAIGN TO SMASH CIO Head Os Trades Union Leads Fight Against John L. Lewis Denver, Sept. 27 - (U.R) A campaign to expel John L Lewis' rebel unions from the American Federation of la»l>or got away to a smashing start today when representatives of the big metal trades department cheered charges that the C. 1. O. had succumbed to com- ; munistic Influences. John P. Frey. presiden( of the 650,000 member department and ■ the man whose prosecution led to I suspension of ten C. I. O. unions last year, set out to finish the job by warning labor that continuation of Lewis' "terroristic" methods would lead to state and federal legislation threatening the workers' right to bargain collec-1 lively. Arthur O Wharton, president of the machinists and fifth vice president of the A. F of L., joined the attack with an assertion that the C. I. O. “has been entirely taken over by communists, and wiii de stroy itself." While Frey openly advocated i expulsion of the Lewis unions. ' Wharton said that while he favor- > ed expelling the C. 1. O. groups l last year, he now felt that "it Is i too late to bother with them " “They will destroy themselves,” I he said Wharton said that the federation ; had some "bad spots" in regard to communistic influences “The ranks of Minnesota labor ! is full of Reds." he said, "and we must clean them out!" Frey, opening a fight which will be climaxed next week when the ! A. Fof L. convention is asked to I I expel the Lewis unions, criticized the national labor relations board on two counts. 1. He charged that it had been ' partial to the C. 1. O. in some i cases, and that its powers under ; the Wagner act were too great and should be restricted before “it can regain the confidence" originally placed in it by labor. 2. He asserted that experience had shown that “boards created to protect labors rights to organize may actually vitally interfere with labor's basis right” to organize' and bargain. But Frey's main efforts were' directed to leadership of the fight , against I^ewis—a battle to which he rallied the full strength of the second largest department in the federation at the first day of its annual convention.
