Dodgers Beat Giants In 14 Inning Tilt iNew-York, June 6 —(UP) —Just how well the up-and-coming Cleveland Indians fare in a game of “give aud lake," with the war effort rested today upon the shoulders of 35-year-nld Melvin Leroy Harder, a winning pitcher in all but four of his 17 seasons with the Ohioans. . illarder, who left a war plant with draft board blessing under relaxed selective service regulations, steps into the spot vacated by Rookie Charley (Red) .Embree, who made his valedictory appearance one to be remembered last night by shutting OU4. the Detroit Tigers on Six hits, 9 to 0. After the game Kmbree left for California to be inducted into the armed forces. 'if Harder, who is noted tor his ability to get into condition quickly, is as good as he has been in the pa«t, the Indians should have no worries: Last year, despite the mediocrity of the Indians, he won 12 and lost 10 to bring his life-time major league mark to 209 victories against 171 defeats. .d’inch hitter Joe Schultz, thirdstring Brownie catcher, singled in the ninth to hand the White Sox a 2* .to 1 defeat at Chicago. Al (Boots) Hollingsworth, Brownie veteran, pitched a three hitter for his best performance of the season. Tbe Senators split with the Yankees at Washington on tlhe comeback pitching of little Marino Pieret>ti who gained a 7 to 3 victory atafter the Yankees took the opener 112 o 3. Pieretti, knocked out Sunday by the White Sox, returned with only a day of rest to pitch a steady I nine-hitter. (For the second time in a week Goodwin Rosen’s extra base hitting helped tlhe Dodgers to an extrainning victory, his two-run homier highlighting a three run rally in the 11th which provided a 0 to 3 win over the Giants at the Polo j Grounds. He hit a triple to give the Dodgers a 13-inning victory at Pittsburgh last Thursday. Ed Heusser ended a three game Pirate winning streak with a 4 to 0 shutout for The Reds, but Max Butcher countered to end Cincinnati’s string of victories at nine, with a seven-hit 9 to 1 jclb in the second game. • flfaie Boston at Philadelphia I double bill and Chicago at St. Louis night game were rained out in the national as was Philadelphia at

To Build Auxiliary Gas Line In County Supplemental Line For Panhandle Co. According to word received at Bluffton a crew of about 200 men is expected in the Wells-Adams county territory to construct a supplemental or auxiliary gas line for the Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line company, which runs from Texas to Detroit, Mich., traversing Kirkland, Preble and Root townships in this county. The original line was built across the country about seven years ago. The line carries gas from the Texas Panhandle district to Detroit, with take-offs for the Bluffton, Decatur and Fort Wayne gas companies. It was not learned here if the crew of men will stop in Decatur. In Bluffton an effort is being made to obtain housing quarters for the men. The gas line is assessed at $196,000 in this county, the assessments being credited to the three townships through which the pipe line crosses. The line crosses the St. Mary's river and U. S. highway 27 north of Decatur. 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Each team obtained eight hits. Two games are scheduled Thursday night, with Kraft meeting Moose in the first- tilt at 7:30 o’clock, followed by McMillen and Legion.
