CHICAGO CUBS HAND PIRATES FIRST DEFEAT ■ Cubs Win In 10th Inning; Four Teams Vie For League Lead Naw York, April 27 —(U.R> —Come I what may—wars, taxes, recessions i or plagues, the National league 1 can he counted on for a dog-eat-dog ! pennant race. Here it is only 10 ■ days since the season opened and . four clubs are breathing on each other s necks in a first division ' battle. Even with seven straight victor ' ies, Pittsburgh couldn't draw away from the field, and today the New York Giants were only half a game behind the Pirates who had their streak snapped yesterday by the Chicago Cubs. The surprise team is the Boston Bees in third place, two games off I the pace. The Cubs are fourth, al- ] so two games behind. The big reason why the Bees are riding high, is Jim Turner, who at 31 seems destined to gain rank among the league's greatest moundsmen. Many first year sensations fold up when the going gets tough in the second season. Turner led the league in low earned runs average

MAT BOYCOTT LOUISFIGHT • Non-Sectarian League In New York Threatens t t Boycott i ‘ New York, Apr. 27.— (U.R) —The > non-seetarian league announced to- . day that the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling heavyweight title tight would • be boycotted unless Schmellng , agreed to turn his share of the , purse over to the relief of German refugees. Shortly after promoter Mike Jacobs had announced that the fight would be staged in New York June 22. the league's executive I committee issued its Schmellng was given until May 2 to consider the proposition. Unless Schmellng capitulates, the league threatened to place picket lines around box offices and all agencies selling tickets. Pamph- j lets denouncing the tight would be circulated. Other plans for attempting to make the bout a financial failure "will be announced later," it was said. The committee emphasized that "our struggle is not against Max Schmellng. but the things he represents. His position in the boxing world is used as another fulcrum in Hitler's propaganda machine. He is pointed out to the; German people and to the 250.000 I nazis in the United States as the product of reich training and an example of Hitlerism. We're fighting that story—not Schmellng.” Jacobs, however, left himself an "out” for just such an emergency when he announced his choice of sites for the fight, which is expected to gross 11,000,000. He said that it would be held in Yankee stadium "unless developments unforeseen arise to necessitate a shift in the site." Unless a boycott interferes Jacobs figured the fight would be a “natural" that would draw a capacity crowd of 80.000, and he said | that on that basis the fight would "gross a million." He has scaled ticket prices from $3.50 in the bleachers to S3O at the ringside. Explaining his decision to hold the fight in New York instead of in Chicago. Detroit or Philadelphia, Jacobs said: “I have a joint contract with the owners of Yankee stadium and the Polo grounds. Both parks share in the rental for a fight I stage in either park. My contract calls for I a minimum of two major or champ-1 ionship bouts in either park each j year. The owners have insisted j that at least one of these be the ■ heavyweight title bout. I have I been threatened with a breach of contract if I take the Louis-Shmel-ing bout elsewhere.” o HOME RUNS Ott, Giants 3 McCarthy. Giants 3 Greenberg.

When this portable sheep . dipping outfit war started three i years ago. the county was threatened with quarantine for sheep scab. Fourteen different flocks were then under quarantine. Through a loan financed by the farm security administration, Mr. Draiper built a very fine portable sheep dipping outfit and each year since has dipped between 5,000 and 6,000 head. Ticks ajid lice on sheep annually take heavy toll in wool and mutton. Dipping once a year will reduce this toll and promote the health of thej flock, which will help increase the 'annual income from sheep very ma- : terially. When this outfit was put on the road it was one of the three or four in the state. At the .present time 14 or 15 counties are similarly equipped. o Ohio Supreme Court Affirms Hahn Ruling — Columbus. 0.. April 27—(UP)— The Ohio Supreme court today turned down the appeal of Anna Marie Hahn, 31, German immigrant of Cincinnati, for rehearing of her conviction in connection with the poison murder of 78-year-old Jacob Wagner. The supreme court merely affirmed its decision of April 13, when it refused to review Mrs. Hahn’s case and set May 4 as the date for her execution in the electric chair. She would be the first woman to die in the electric chair in Ohio. *__ Trndr In A (iood Town —- lleraCnr

TWO HURT IN MUNCIE RIOTS General Motors Chevrolet Plant Guarded After Unions Riot ■ Muncie. Ind , April 27 — (U.R) -| Police maintained a guard at the General Motors Chevrolet plant today following a riot between members of the United Automobile | Workers of America and independjent unionists in which two were j 1 injured. A third man. Ray Heller, 50. was held for questioning by police who said his automobile struck a wo-, man as he attempted to drive; through the crowd gathered about j the plant entrance. Officers said they found a blackjack and a shotgun in the car. They said Heller apparently was a member of neither faction. Injured were: Charles Cook, member of the Independent Automotive Gear Workers Union, cut i on the neck and face, and Everett Kelley. 40. UAW member who said he was struck < r. the head with a baseball !>at after he defied independent unionists who ordered him to take off his CIO button. The fight started when UAW members left a mass meeting in downtown Muncie and marched to the plant where an estimated 150 Independent unionists had established picket lines after the plant closed yesterday morning. The independents fled Inside the factory and the UAW men were called off by James Poland, South Bend. CIO organizer who was sta- j Honed in a sound truck nearby. When Muncie police arrived with tear-gas bombs they found the plant deserted. Mayor Rollin Bunch of Muncie, who administered first aid to Cook, said the UAW rally and march on , the picket line included delegations from Marion, Richmond. Newcastle , and Kokomo. Endorse Regulation DetroiL April 27—(U.R) —Automo-I bile dealers, having endorsed a plan for government regulation, planned tn end their annual convention to-' day with a discussion of price-fix-ing and used car junking programs.' Leaders of the National Automobile Dealers association did not expect a concrete junking plan to be adopted. They predicted the association would go on record favoring the principle of industrywide cooperation in sending ancient > jalopies to the scrap pile. Actual endorsement of a program and I negotiations with manufacturers to set it in motion probably will be left to a committee. Yesterday members of the association attended a hearing conducted by Charles H. March of the federal trade commission and voted . for 24 out of 27 possible rules to ! be included in a code of fair trade 1 which will be enforced by the FTC. Tonight they will hear an address by Alfred P. Sloan. Jr., board chairman of General Motors corporation. In view of a pending FTC investigation of the entire automobile industry. Sloan's address is looked upon by members of the industry as an important one. o BOTH PARTIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) are former Senator James E. Watson; Walter F. Bossert of Liberty; Clarence H. Wills of Kokomo; Oliver Starr of Gary; and Raymond E. Willis of Angola. Democrats in the race are Sam Jackson, Fort Wayne attorney, and Alex Gordon. Indianapolis labor

leader. Until recently. Jackson was reported to have support of the powerful Townsend administration for the nomination. But this support was withdrawn and the Democratic leaders are casting about for u strong candidate. Lieut. Gov. Henry F Schrlcker was reported as having the inside ' track for the nomination at the present Hine. Local Issues Indianapolis, April 27 — (U.R) Hundreds of candidates in next Tuesday's primary election entered the home stretch of their campaigns today amid a welter of local i Issues from which Republicans ex I pected to revitalize the party for i the 1940 election and Democrats hoped to retain their present superi lority. Aside from the customary local < primary strife, politically-minded ' citizens prepared to scrutinize the total vote closely for signs of a shift in trend from the Democratic to the Republican ranks which may be seen in the November election Archie N. Bobbitt, state Republican chairman, has expressed the i belief that the G. O. P. can pick 1 up several congressional seats in the November election and fortifv
