JUNIOR LEGION TEAM DEFEATS BERNE.S TO 4 Scores 5 To 4 Victory Over Berne Nine In Extra-Inning Battle Junior basebal players provided Decatur fans with a real thriller Thursday afternoon at Worthman ’ Field, with the American Legion I team of Decatur nosing out a 5-4 ' extra inning victory over the Berne nine in an Adams county junior , league battle. The game was a pitching duel 1 between Bill Schnepp of the Legion team and Neuenschwander of Berne, with Schnepp gaining an , edge over his hurling rival. Schnepp held Bente to five hits and fanned 14 batters. Neuenschwander allowed nine hits and struck out 13. Berne got away to a flying start in the first inning, scoring three | unearned runs. After the first | two men had been retired, Berne i filled the bases on two errors and | a base on balls. Another error and a single by Habegger scored ' three runs. The Legion retrieved one of these runs in the same frame on hits by Hackman and Voglewede. The Decatur team tied the count in the second inning. Chilcote and Fhurman walked. The next opened the inning with a double two batters fanned but Hackman came through with his second hit to drive in two runs and tie the score. An error and Habegger’s second hit enabled Neuenschwander to score for Berne in the sixth. The first two Legion men to bat in the seventh were retired. Voglewede reached first safely on Luginbill's errors and stole second. The Legion’s first sacker then stole third and when Baumgartner threw •the ball into left field, Voglewede scored the tying run. ScTTaepp had little difficulty retiring Berne in the eighth although walking one man, and the Legion team then cinched the game with a run in the last of the eighth. McGill, first Legion batter, singled and stole second. Chilcote fanned but Fuhrman came through with a clean single to left center to score McGill with the winning

INDIANS BREAK I LOSING STREAK Bob Teller Hurls Victory As Cleveland Holds League Lead New York. June 17. nU.Rj —The Cleveland Indians, their worst slump of the season broken, dug In today in an attempt to beat ohck the challenge of the New York Yankees in the red-hot American I. ague pennant race. With only half a game margin over the Yanks, Cleveland won its second straight game yesterday by defeating Washington. 4-1. Prior to this two-game streak the Indians hail dropped five in a sow as the Yanks moved up with a rush. But things are looking up for the Indians with rollicking Rollie Hemsley back on the job to catch bullet Bob Feller. Hemsely. out for three weeks with a broken finger, returned to action yesterday and Feller was able to go the route for the first time since May 30. Feller allowed eight scattered hits, fanned seven and walked four. It was his seventh triumph. That the Indians mean business about holding their lead was dem- ' onstrated by the fact that first [ baseman Hal Trosky, who was abi sent from Wednesday’s game because of a knee injury, returned to ! the lineup quickly after having a muscle specialist repair a misplac- , ed cartilage. The Yanks kept breathing on the Indians' moccasins by winning their sixth straight, a 5-1 triumph over the Chicago White Sox. Monte Pearson allowed only one hit in 3 1-3 innings but was relieved when he walked four men and made a wild throw. Bump Hadley finished the game and did not allow a hit. Lou Gehrig hit homer [No. 9. The Boston Red ’Sox made it I three in a row over the St. Louis Browns, 12-8, and remained two games off the pace. Jimmy Foxx drew six consecutive bases on balls : to set a modern major league rec- ! ora. Tommy Bridges brought Detroit back to ,500 per cent by pitching the Tigers to a 12-3 victory over the Athletics. Rudy York hit horn- | | er No. 16 and a double to drive in three runs. Carl Hubbell was thwarted in his secon d attempt to win his 200th major league victory when the Pirates beat the Giants. 10-2. ITubbell went out for a pinch hitter in the seventh with the score | ; 5-2 against him after allowing i eight hits. Lloyd Waner and Lee Hadley hit homers. Bob Klinger let the Giants down with five hits. The defeat trimmed the Giants’ i lead to IVg games over the idle I Cubs. In the only other National league game the Phillies, behind Claude Passeau’s six-hit pitching, won from the Cardinals, 3-2. Three s walks by Max Macon and shortstop Gutteridge’s wild throw enabled the Phils to score the winj ning run. Yesterday s hero: Bump Hadley. Yankee relief pitcher, who relieved Monte Pearson and pitched 5 i 2-3 innings of hitless ball against i the White Sox. o STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

75th CONGRESS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) himself, shortly will embark on a transcontinental journey dipping deeply into political waters from coast to coast. The battle is one to determine the factional and party completion of the new congress. It Aireshad ows the 1940 struggles between conservatives and liberals for control of both the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions. The Democratic phalanx which 1 marched shoulder-to-shoulder into | Washington in January. 1937, dispersed today in cliques and factions. The scant Republican rearguard, surviving of the hosts which controlled congress through postwar to mid-depression years, scattered denouncing the record of this congress but gaily predicting big things from the 1938 elections. Chairman Joseph W. Martin, Mass., of the Republican congressional campaign committee promised that Republicans would pick up a minimum of 76 seats in November. There were a few unavailing objections to leaving without voting emergency loan and other aid for distressed railroads But President Roosevelt in letters to Garner and Speaker Wiliam B. Bankhead praised the departing congress for its “constructive legislation.” Flying proudly from the new deal

NEW GROUP OF AGED ELIGIBLE I — • , Additional Aged In Indiana To Be Eligible For Aid July 1 Indianapolis, Ind , June 17 —'Five members of the state board of publie welfare and Thurman A. Gottschalk. administrator, have issued a ' statement of public welfare policy [ In regard to the handling of thirtyfive to forty-five thousand applica- ' lions for old age assistance which , are expected to follow the drop In l age requirements under the amend-1 ed law, effective July 1. On and as-1 ter that date pereons in need and meeting other eligibility require-J ments who are between the ages of, 65 and 70, the former minimum, may apply to county welfare de-' partments. The state welfare board i J insists that present high standards [ of investigation 'be maintained by | county welfare departments. The ' statemet of the board follows: ‘lt i« estimated that 35,009 to 45,-1' 000 pesons between the ages of 95 - and 69 will apiply for old age assist- 1 ance after next July, when this age group becomes eligible under the, terms of the welfare act. “County departments of public ( 1 welfare after an experience of over l' two years in administering assist-' ance to the needy aged over 70 v°ars of age are well prepared to halyards today are the bright signals of victory on wages and hours , legislation. That was the outstanding Roosevelt legislative triumph ; of the 75th session. Killed once by the house, but revived miraculously by an exhibltlon of new deal pulling power among southern voters, the Roosevelt dream of a floor under wages |' and a ceiling over hours came true this week. Congress balked. [ squirmed and surrendered. But this session junked Mr. Roosevelt’s bill to reorganize the executive departments of govern-: ment just as the 1937. session I junked judiciary reorganization. At : White House word congress whipped through a $1,157,000,000 emergency naval construction authorization, sought only after the United States government reluctantly became convinced that the arms limitation program, launched in the Harding administration, had swamped in iT,e seas of world wide turmoil. Mr. Roosevelt’s request for new legislation to curb monopolies never came to a vote. Congress substituted, with White House approval. a joint congressinal-department-al investigation of business and I monopolistic trends. | = SUN. MON. TUES. 10c Matinee 1:15 Sunday TWO ACTION HITS!

accept applications and to make the detailed Investigation of each appllcat io as required by the provisions of the welfare act. In verifying eligibility requirements on age, residence and citizenship, the procedures established over the last two years are generally understood and little difficulty should therefore bo experienced in determining whether or not each applicant meets these requirements. "Once eligibility Is established on these points, the all important task of determining whether or not the applicat Is a needy Individual taxes the ability of every county worker tngaged in making investigations. The welfare act is very explicit in requiring that every resource of the applicant be ascertained to determine whether or not hfs total income is sufficient to meet his needs. No investigation is complete rntil a full study is made of each applicant’s actual and potential sources of support, Including the financial ability of sons and daughters to assist their aged parents. The federal congress Ln the passage of the social security act and the Indiana general assembly in the passage of the welfare act of 1936 provided away of giving a ‘reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health’ to all needy aged individuals. Those who are not Ln need are not the responsibility of the county, state and federal governments. Social, religious or political status cannot possibly make an applicant eligible or keep him eligible, even though he may become a recipient of public assistance temporarily. “The state board of public welfare emphasizes the necessity for each county department of public welfare to make a careful and exhaustive survey of each applicant’s needs and resources and not to permit the avalanche of new applications to iprevent a complete study of each case. In the granting of assistance there should be no doubt as to the eligibility of the applicant. The procedures in effect are such that there should be no guesswork
