RAIN IS BOON TO GIANTS IN PENNANT RAGE Giants Need Victory Or Cub Defeat To Win Senior Pennant New York. Sept. 29 <U.PJ Thn New York Giants can put the clincher on the “subway world series" today either by winning a doubleheader from the Phillies or by taking one game from the Phillies' while the Cubs are losing to the Reds. Even the weather in conspiring to get the Giants home in a hurry in the National league race. Rain and cold weather permanently cancelled the Giants' doubleheader yesterday with the Boston Bees, who were tough enough to hold the Terrymen to a 10-10 even break over the season. The cancellation was equivalent to two Giant victories. The off-day was a great break for the Giants' pitching staff which j would have had to labor under the burden of 4 double-headers in 4 days. Cliff Melton. Giants' Ichabod Crane, who has won 19 and lost 9, may get his last prep before the world series today. flanging on by a slender thread the Cubs turned back Cincinnati. 2-0. behind Clay Bryant's 2-hit performance. In addition Bryant! drove In one run with a triple and scored the other on Hack's single. The Cubs have five games to play. The only way they can win the pennant is to win all their games and the Giants lose 6 out of their remaining seven. Pittsburgh took over third place by defeating the Cardinals, 6-2. Ed Brandt held the Cards to 7 hits, , winning his 11th game. Only one, of the Pirates' runs was earned, three fins counting on errors and two others on Bremer's passed

Today’s Sport Parade 1i (By Henry McLemore) | New York, Sept. 29.—(U.R>— Lat est developments in the managerial crisis of the Cincinnati Reds. Berlin: Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, interrupted while singi ing “it's always fair weather, when good fellows get together.” in the i Potzdammer platz today, vigorously denied that they had applied for the job of managing the Reds. From a highly unauthoritative source, however, it was learned that Colonel General Herman Wilhelm Goering, reich air minister, was interested in the position. “A Cincinnati Reds' uniform is the only one Herman hasn't got." the source said “and he keenly! wants one.” — Paris: Edward, Duke of Wind-' sor, today refused to state his posi-1 tion with the Cincinnati team when ' cornered outside Mainbrocher's | i dress salon by a reporter who at-| tracted the duke's attention with a clever imitation of a horse falling I over a hurdle. "Two cannot live as cheaply as one.” the duke was heard to mur-, tnur as four attendants came out I of the store bearing large parcels. | One source said the duke was interested in managing the Reds, but probably would be forced toi decline because of the Archbishop | of Canterbury's dislike of Sunday baseball. Harlem. N. Y.: Father Divine, interviewed while eating a plate of | ‘ angelic pork chops, said today that I he was not interested in becoming ' manager of the Cincinnati Reds. "Even with all my power,” he said. "I doubt if I could get them Reds out of the second division." London: Robert Taylor fought, his way through a crowd of 15,090 | worshipping women today to tell a reporter that he would not consider the Cincinnati managership unless the owners would have ladies' day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, as well as on Friday.

was out walking his police dog. Moscow: Herbert Klupp Mufti, , field representative for the Cincinnati team of the National league, arrived here today. Mr. Mufti frankly admitted the . purpose of his visit. “I would like to sign Stalin as manager. He would make an ideal leader of the Reds," he said. Seattle: President Franklin D. Roosevelt completely ignored rum ors that he would take over the management of the Cincinnati team in a speech delivered here today. Not once, during his entire talk, did he even so much as touch on the problems of the Ohio team. Several Republicans saw in this a clean cut evasion of the CincinI nat’i issue.

The Jackets will conclude their away from home schedule October 8, playing at Portland under the lights. The pubblic address system, used last week for the first time, has , drawn favorable comment from i fans and officials alike. Fans were ] enabled i?- follow the play more closely and intelligently and seemed to evince more interest in the game than in previous years.

MARRIAGE LAW WITHOUT TEETH —- Illinois Legislature Failed To Provide Teeth in Law Springfield, 11l , Sept 29-HU.R) Worries of IlHnoians who married out of the slate lo escape provl ; slops of the state’s new Saltlel hygienic marriage iaw were eliminated by assurance of Atty. Gen Otto Kerner today that such matriages are valid. Kerner's assurance was contained in an opinion which had been requested by Lake county state s I attorney Charles E. Mason, Wall- : kegan. Illinois' Gretna Green. Several hundred marriages had been jeopardized by court intimations that out-of-the state weddings j were invalid where It could be shown that the purpose was to evade the new Illinois law Kerner ruled late yesterday that such out of state marriages and even those performed within the state in violation of the" law were' valid. “At no place in the Saltiel hill is a marriage either prohibited or declared void in violation of the statute," the opinion said "The only thing the Saltiel bill does is to provide a penalty against the county clerk or against I the physician disclosing knowledge ; pertaining to the examination of I an applicant or against any person obtaining a license to marry contrary to the provisions of the act.! “In other words, there Is not a i word so providing, nor a word or syllable thereof, which declares that any marriage In violation of the act shall be null and void. “There is not a case in the state I of which 1 am aware, which holds ! that marriages performed outside of the state of Illinois in violation of the provisions of the laws of Illinois, are invalid unless our I statutes provide that the mar-' i riages are invalid, and there is no I such statute in our state, so far las the provisions of the Saltiel ! bill are concerned " Kerner said he took the position “that no question of public policy is involved.” “My own judgment is that the | legislature left a null and void j clause out of the Saltiel bill," he said. "My judgment is that the legislature had no desire to unduly or go out of its way to basterdize limit the rights of men and women children." He said many marriages were 1 performed outside the state for The Saltiel bill became effective i practical and legitimate reasons. 1 July 1 after passage in the last ! session of the general assembly. It requires marriage license applicants to submit physician's,certificates showing them free of vener-i eal disease. o— CIO EXPULSION ■CONTINUED FROM PA3K ONE) doubt as to whether such influ-, ential leaders as Hutcheson and President William Green would favor expulsion. At last year'g convention Hutcheson took the position that it' was not necessary to oust the CIO .and his about face this year was viewed as a strong implication of sentiment within the federation’s inner circle. Another factor in the expulsion drive is the disclosure that officials of the A. F. of L. executive council expressed overwhelming sentiment for ouster at the recent Atlantic City meeting, although no formal action .was taken and it was generally expected that the council would avoid a definite recom-

! mendntion to the convention Hutcheson, who controls one of the biggest blocks of votes in the federation, announced his changed viewpoint while he was registering al the convention hotel immediately after his arrival Surrounded by newspaper re- [ porters, he pushed hi* hat back from his florid forehead, grinned broadly, and said that the Carpeni ters would strongly support any resolution for expulsion. "The situation luN changed since last year.” he said. "Why go on sleeping in the same bed with a louse?” Seek Adoption Indianapolis. Sept. 29— (U.P) — I Adoption by the American federation of labor of Gov. Clifford Townsends proposed plan for negotiating settlement of differences between the A. F. of L. and the committee for industrial organization will be sought at the former’s national convention in Denver, Colo., next week the state I labor division announced today. Thomas R. Hutson, state laltor [ commissioner, left by plane today for Denver to confer with the national building trades council and | A. F. of L. leaders on the Indiana i plan. Before his departure at the air- ' port Hutson said the idea of the nlan is to restore unity not only | In Indiana but the national labor situation. Gov. Townsend previously had offered his services and those of the state labor division to act as referee in settling disputes between major organizations. o JAPAN ANSWERS •mwTTWUWD FR/vv ’••ar nvr> first time during the battle Japanese marines tried to storm in force the stronglv defended Chinese positions in the north railroad station —Chapei area north of the international settlement.
