the 1929 and 1930 world baseball championships. They have won all eight of their games against western foes, and should they continue their success against the Tigers, there wlil be many baseball fans who will label Philadelphia already “in” for the 1931 pennant. Indians Lose Tenth The Athletics registered their tenth consecutive victory Monday when they defeated Cleveland, 10 to 7. It was the tenth consecutive defeat for the Indians. Philadelphia overcame Cleveland’s early lead and clinched the contest by scoring four runs in the eighth Inning. New York kept within two games of the league leaders by overwhelming Detroit, 20 to 8. The Yankees pounded four Tiger hurlers for nineteen hits as Wells coasted to victory. In the only other American League game, the Chicago White Sox won from Boston, 9 to 8, and advanced to fifth place in the standings. A six-run rally in the ninth inning enabled Chicago to win. Giants Down Cards The New York Giants advanced to within a half game of the National League lead when they defeated Sfc. Louis, current pace setters, 6 to 3. Walker held the Cardinals to six hits but errors by his mates aided St. Louis in scoring their runs. The Giants clinched the game in the second inning when they scored four runs off Haines. Ed Brandt registered his sixth victory of the season as the Boston Braves defeated Pittsburgh, 3 to 1, to advance to within two games of St. Louis. Brandt allowed but five hits while Boston made the most of six blows off Brame, making his first start of the year for the Pipfifp*! Phillies Rally to Win A two run rally }n the ninth inning, capped by Hurst’s single, gave Philadelphia a 5 to 4 victory over Chicago. Hurst’s blow scored Bartell with the winning run. Arlett hit his seventh home run of the year in the second inning off Baecht, Pacific Coast rookie, who hurled well until the ninth inning when he was relieved by Jakie May. Brooklyn came to life and displayed the batting power expected of the team in walloping Cincinnati, 14 to 4. Tile Robins got 16 hits off four Red hurlers. Babe Herman got four of them, including a home run, triple, double and single. Thurston scattered twelve Cincinnati hits.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ABANDON PLANS TO REOPEN DOG RACINGCOURSE Judge Ryan Rules System Is Disguised Form of Gambling. Because a Marion county court refused to draw a line between dog racing and gambling, an attempt to reopen the greyhound track on the Allisonville road was forsaken temporarily today by promoters. Alva Spindler, Chicago promoter, announced no steps will be taken to reopen the track at present, after Judge Russell Ryan of superior court five overruled a petition late Monday afternoon seeking to enjoin Sheriff Charles L. Sumner from interfering with the track’s operation. Argument of Spindler’s; attorney, Meyer Goldberg, of St. Louis, that dog racing “by which purses are awarded to the owners of the dogs or owners’ assignees,” failed to convince Judge Ryan that the assignment system was not a form of gambling. Unshaken by Explanation After dealing in generalities at the hearing, Judge Ryan told Goldberg to explain just how the system was related to betting. This explanation caused the judge to tell Goldberg: “Despite your interpretation of the law, I still believe this dog racing is tainted with gambling.” An affidavit, signed by Spindler, and introduced as evidence at the hearing set forth that purpose of the promoters was to conduct races in connection with a breeding farm. It stated the sheriff had threatened to destroy the track property, valued at SIOO,OOO, if dog racing was resumed. Disguised Form of Gambling Sheriff Sumner was represented at the hearing by Harvey A. Graybill, county attorney, and Clinton H. Givan, former county attorney, represented Indianapolis citizens opposing reopening of the track. Judge Ryan criticised Spindler for signing an affidavit containing “such charges against the law enforcement officer of Marion county.” Judge Ryan’s ruling stated: “The assignment system is nothing but a disguised form of gambling and it will not be tolerated.” St. Cyr in France is one of the greatest military schools in the world.

‘CHURCH MUST FIGHT SOVIET,’ SAYSEVERSON Russian Aims a Distinct Challenge, Chief of Militia Asserts. Russia today, with a government dedicated to wiping out all ideas of God, offers a challenge to the i Christian church. Major-General j William G. Everson, Washington, chief of the federal militia bureau, told members of the brotherhood at First Baptist church Monday night. “What is the church going to do about Russia?” he asked. Here is a challenge to the church in the world today.” General Everson formerly was pastor of a Muncie Baptist church and has accepted a pastorate at Denver, where he declared he is “going to build the biggest church between Chicago and Los Angeles.” Should Remove Cause "Estimating the Situation” was the title of the Monday night address and General Everson used military terms to outline what tactics should be pursued by Christians to combat evil in the modern world. “Only the church can save the world,” he declared. “But what are we doing about it, in Russia, China or anywhere else where there ia a world problem? ‘The church is passing resolutions on reduced armaments, birth control and other things, when it should be# in action in the field removing the causes which make these matters a problem. “One of the greatest tasks, in the world is to teach people how to live together. When man has learned that, all our problems will be solved.” Refers to Rank In closing his address, General Everson pointed out that his rank in the army rates two silver stars. He then described how with his almost daily flying trips in army planes, these soon become tarnished. “Yet, it is for stars that tarnish that many men are making great sacrifice,” he concluded. “Surely it is vastly more important to make sacrifices for Christ and the things that are eternal and will not tarnish.” s At the election preceding the speaking program, Roy Slaughter

was chosen president to succeed J. E. Shewmon. Other officers are Harold K. Harding, vice-president; E, R. Basore, secretary, and Harry F. Bowen, treasurer.
