Cards’ Flag Hopes Get Test in 21-Tilt Tour of East in 16 Days; Junior Loop Leaders Head West

N. L. Champions Play Six Games in Four Days With Braves; Giant Pitchers Erratic. BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Prew Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 18.— Western teams of the National League began their second invasion of the east today. The St. Louis Cardinals, current pace setters, face a schedule which calls for twenty-one games in sixteen days before they return to western soil. If the 1930 champions can finish that assignment by winning the majority of their games they will become heavy favorites to repeat their performance of last year unless the Chicago Cubs or New York Giants turn in a prolonged winning streak. There Is nothing to indicate that the Cubs are going to bowl over Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn and New York with any great degree of consistency. Mound Staff Wobbly Furthermore, the New York pitching staff appears too wobbly for John McGraw’s club to have any marked success against the Cardinals, Cubs, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. The Cardinals, holding a threegame advantage over the second place Giants, began their invasion by meeting the Boston Braves six times in four days. Following this series they go to Philadelphia for four contests in three days; Brooklyn for five games in four days; New York for four tilts in as many days, and back again to Philadelphia for a double-header. Clark Stops Pirates In addition to testing the strength of the Cardinals, the current invasion of the western teams may decide sectional supremacy. Thus far each section has won 44 contests, while dropping the same number. Brooklyn’s 2 to 0 victory over Pittsburgh Wednesday pulled the eastern clubs up to a .500 average in their competition with western teams. Lefty Clark allowed the Pirates only seven scattered hits in registering his second consecutive shut out. His batting also was a factor, for his double drove in one of the two runs Brooklyn got off Heine Meine. It was the only National League contest scheduled.

Washington Continues to Chase A’s as Rivals Wind Up Long Home Stands. BY DIXON STEWART United Pres* Staff CorresDondrnt NEW YORK, June 18.— With the American League pennant race definitely settled down to a fight between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Washington Senators, the leaders were headed west today on a tour which may be an important factor in deciding the ultimate winner of the 1931 pennant. Both teams were highly successful in their home stands which closed Wednesday, and as a result are far ahead of their rivals. Philadelphia, the leader, enjoys a 2Vfegame edge over the Senators, with the other teams so far back they definitely can be counted out of the fight. Yanks Eleven Behind New York’s third-place Yanks are eleven games to the bad, with Cleveland an additional 3Vi games to the rear and the second division clubs hopelessly in the ruck, Philadelphia and Washington will make a complete round of the western parks before returning east on July 4 and after Independence day double-headers against Boston and New York, respectively, will hook up in a three-game series at Washington which should provide an accurate line on the strength of the two rivals, Philadelphia, which has won 23 of its 26 games against western clubs this season, is scheduled for sixteen games in the west, four at Chicago, five at St. Louis, four at Detroit and three at Cleveland. Nats Beat Browns Washington, with a season’s record of 24 victories and three defeats against the west, will play five games at Cleveland, four at Detroit, five at Chicago and three at St. Louis. The eastward invasion of the western teams of the junior circuit closed with Washington defeating St. Louis. 8 to 7. and Philadelphia winning from Cleveland, 4 to 2. Bluege’s triple in the ninth inning scored West with the run that extended the winning streak of the Senators to twelve straight contests. The Browns had tied the score in their half of the ninth after they knocked Alvin Crowder out of the box in the eighth inning. George Earnshaw bested Wes Ferrell to enable the Athletics to retain their two and one-half Rame margin over the Senators. Earnshaw allowed onlv five scattered hits while Ferrell yielded seven hits in as many innings before he retired for a Dinch hitter. The double-header scheduled between New York and Boston was postponed because of rain while Detroit and. Chicago had an open date.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

U. S. LAUNCHES LAST SMASH AT CAPOHETHUGS Grip of Gunmen to Be Broken Completely, Officers Promise. BY RAY BRENNAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. June 18.—The United States government began today to "mop up" what is left of A1 Capone’s gang. With the "Big Bullet” himself under a plea of guilty, leaving his lesser lights to shift for themselves, the government sent scores of agents out into the underworld to round up the sixty-eight other gangsters indicted with their chief and charged with 5,000 violations of prohibition laws. Federal prosecutors promised that this final thrust against gangland would snap the last bond that has bound Chicago to the underworld. Many to Be Sentenced By the time the gang leader enters Leavenworth penitentiary shortly after June 30 many of his thugs, liquor peddlers, torturers, vice-mongers and gunmen also will be under sentence, federal agents predicted. Acting under orders from Washington, the government agents descended almos f simultaneously on many underworld resorts in "Capone’s badlands,” the district immediately surrounding State and Twenty-second streets. If the gangsters disclaim connection with Capone's liquor syndicate, which flooded the midwest with $200,000,000 worth of beer in the last decade, they will be turned over to A. P. Madden, chief of the internal revenue department intelligence unit in Chicago. Case Is Strengthened “Maybe we will be able to that manj* other gangsters in addition to Capone defrauded the government in neglecting to mail their income tax returns,” said Madden. The same overwhelming mass of evidence which put sudden fear of the law into Capone likewise is available against his sixty-eight hirelings, federal agents pointed out. “Scarface Al’s” plea of guilty was believed to have served to strengthen the case against them. By United Press NEW YORK, June 18.—The government agents who broke the gang of Scarface A1 Capone invaded America’s largest city today to begin anew drive against “public enemies,” numbered here at some 1,500. Elmer E. Irey, chief of the special intelligence section of the internal revenue bureau, who obtained the evidence which forced Capone to plead guilty to evasion of income tax and violation of the prohibition laws, will direct a picked squad of expert income tax investigators in a drive here against racketeers who have grown wealthy from liquor, narcotics and operation of shady night clubs. Investigators have been poring over bank records and other documents which might shed some light on the vast incomes of "public anemies” in New York’s underworld for the last two months.

GEORGE GAUL WILL JOIN ARTHUR CASEY

Noted Theater Guild Actor Will Open at English’s Soon in Shaw’s ‘Arms and the Man’ for a Week. GEORGE GAUL, who undoubtedly is one of the most popular actors ever to play in Indianapolis, has been signed to appear as guest star at English’s with the Arthur Casey company in George Bernard Shaw's “Arms and the Man,” which Is to be presented for the week starting Sunday night, June 28. Gaul, who is in the third year of a five-year contract with the New York Theater Guild, was signed by Arthur Casey personally in New York. Casey left Indianapolis several days ago with the announced intention of returning with “a big play and a big player.’’ While in New York, he also made arrangements with the Guild to use here the costumes of

that organization’s production. The role which Gaul is to play in “Arms and the Man” is of the romantic type in which he established himself as a favorite jrith the Stuar* Walker company here. Gaul has been playing the same part for the Guild, alternating with Alfred Lunt in New York and on tour. Arnold Daly and Richard Mansfield are the only two other actors ever to play the role in this country. Gaul’s last appearance in Indianapolis took place more than a year ago as Dr. Darrell opposite Pauline Lord’s Nina Leeds in the Theater Guild’s production of “Strange Interlude.” Casey reports that Gaul expressed great pleasure at being able to return to this city for an engagement. With the signing of George Gaul, Casey will have two members of the original Guild cast in his local production of “Arms and the Man” in view of the fact that Jane Wheatley, Casey’s character actress, was featured both with Lunt and with Gaul 1 in the play. 000 Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Nancy’s Private Affair” at English’s, Horace Heidt at the Indiana, “Daddy Long Legs” at the Apollo, “Never the Twain Shall Meet” at the Palace, Belle Bennett at the Lyric, “Up Pops the Devil” at the Circle, double movie bill at the Ohio,, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” at the Terminal, and burlesque at the Mutual.

TONS OF MEAT, ON THE HOOF, PARADE CHICAGO Michigan Boulevard Scene of Low Food Price Demonstration. By United Prrs CHICAGO, June 18. City dwellers were offered an oppor- ! tunity today to see hotv a steak j looks before it is smothered in onions, how lamb chops appear in the original, and how ham looks before it is served on a plate with , candied sweet potatoes. Michigan boulevard—the avenue , of fashions—towered on one side! by skyscrapers and beautiful hotels j and flanked on the other by his- ! toric Grant park, was ihe place selected for several thousand hogs, cattle and sheep to grunt, moo and bleat to the accompaniment of fourteen bands, all marching together in one gigantic parade. The idea was to proclaim to Chicagoans that “meat prices are j down.” It was conceived at a re- i cent meeting of middlewestern meat 1 producers, retailers, bankers and railroad officials who agreed that j visual advertising must be employed j to stimulate the buying of meat at , present low prices. Similar parades will be held in other metropolitan J centers if present plans are carried out. Today's two-mile parade promised to be a unique spectacle for the; city-bred workers in Chicago’s loop. The “fat of the land,” literally, was j on display. In regular marching order, the 1 Shropshires, Hampshires, Cheviots, Dorsets, and Southdowns of the j sheep world were to parade behind \ the Berkshires, Poland Chinas, Duroc Jerseys, and Chester Whites of 1

springs are deep, cushions soft, and the driver's seat easy to adjust the way you like it. How about protection against heat, cold, and rain?—you ask. And you learn that the Pontiac body is weather-tight and leakproof. Everything has been done for your complete comfort. There remains only Pontiac's effect on other people. Glances you notice along the street, and the comments of your friends soon settle that! You know you are right in your judgment. You know that in Pontiac —that outstanding General Motors Value—with its body by Fisher, you have a smart, modern, well-finished car ... a car to be proud of. But don’t stop at this imaginary test. Take anew Pontiac out bn the road and ask it to do everything you want a car to do. Let it prove that it has the quality you wantthen ask the price. It's a figure you will warmly approve.
