- From Pursuers for Awhile; Indians Play Two Tonight
Pittsburgh Stops Cards as Cubs Down Cincinnati In Extra Innings.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Everything was ‘doubled today in the major . leagues as the 16 clubs prepared to . stage eight twin bills before crowds expected to aggregate close to 200,000 persons. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati draw . the National League spotlight—with the league leading Pirates, who can’t seem to make up their minds whether to blow the pennant or stagger in, battling the Cubs at Forbes Field and the Reds tangling with the highly improved Cardinals at Crosley Field. The Pirates seem safe for awhile anyway with a sixgame lead over the Reds. In the American League perhaps. the feature attraction will be a footrace between George Washington Case, Senators, and Ben Chapman, Red Sox, for a $500 prize during the Labor Day festivities at Washington. The winner will be crowned. the “fastest man in the American League.” : The Pirates owe their si:-game - Jead to a 5-3 victory over the Cardinals yesterday which came at the same time as a 2-1 defeat handed the Reds by the Cubs. Russ Bauers scattered nine hits and stopped a ninth inning rally to snap the Cards’ five-game winning streak. Pep Young hit a double and triple to lead the Pirates’ attack.
Veteran Hurler in Form
Thirty-nine-year-old Charlie Root pitched the Cubs to their 11-inning victory over the Reds to end Cincinnati’s six-game winning spree. Augie Galan’s fifth homer in the 11th won the game after Ival Goodman’s 30th had tied the score in the ninth. Galan scored the Cubs’ other run after tripling in the fourth. The Giants dropped to fourth again by dividing with the Dodgers. Brooklyn won the opener, 5-4, but - Dick Coffman pitched a three-hit game to give the Giants the second game, 7-0. "After the Phillies had stopped the Bees, 4-2, behind Hugh Mulcahy’s seven-hit pitching, Boston came back to win the second game, 8-2, on some tight twirling by Dick
Errickson. The Yankees increased their
“+ American League lead to 1312 games
by defeating Washington, 7-4. Joe
Gordon had a perfect day at bat,
getting two doubles and two homers, Nos. 20 and 21. The Yanks now have five players with more than 2¢ homers, a new record. All together the Yanks have 142 round trippers. With Bases Loaded
Sam Chapman’s homer with the bases loaded featured a seven-run rally in the eighth to give the Athlets a 12-11 victory over the Red Sox. In the nightcap the Red Sox slugged out a 12-2 victory, with Pinky Higgins hitting a homer with the bases filled. John Rigney held the Tigers to four hits as the White Sox beat Detroit, 2-1 in 10 innings. The 7 Tigers made their only run on a two-base error by Steinbacher on a fly ball. Cleveland won from the St. Louis Browns, 11-3, and then played a 1-1 tie with the game being called on
account of darkness at the end of Saapn
the seventh. Johnny Allen went the route for the first time in six starts to score his 14th victory. Russ Van

second twin bill under the Perry Stadium lights tonight. Action is to get under way at 7:30 o'clock and since it is a holiday, it will not be “ladies’ night.” The Tribe has a third doubleheader coming up on the home grounds tomorrow night with To. ledo and the six games in three days grind will be a strain on the mound staff. Paced by Steve Mesner, who collected three blows, the Redskins won behind John Niggeling yesterday in the first tilt as he scattered eight hits. Five of the Colonels’ safeties went for extra bases and they tallied in the sixth, seventh and eighth. : Mesner Sneaks Home

Mesner’s alert base running accounted for the Indians’ first marzer in the eighth. He was on third base with one out when Pete Chapman popped to Ogorek back of second. The Louisville second sacker had no idea that Mesner would attempt to score after the catch and was caught napping. Steve made a wild dash for the plate and beat the throwin by a step. Triples by Jimmy Pofahl and Chapman featured the Tribe's attack in the second fracas, the former’s blow driving in two runs. Elmer Riddle opposed Lew Carpenter and after recovering from a wild streak in the first inning settled down and pitched three-hit ball. It was a six-inning affair cut short by the 6 o'clock Sunday closing law. Carpenter issued six walks and pe Indians nailed him for six

Proposed Change in Patent System to Be Discussed Tomorrow Morhing.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 85.—~Two
ered here today for their fall convention that will bring up to date the progress of a summer- of research in hundreds of laboratories of the nation. The of the American Chemical ety not only will describe the newest wonders of research in such fields as vitamins and the industrial uses of farm products but, in general sessions and symposia, will undertake a study of more general, major problems. Most important from the standpoint of everyday folks is perhaps the special session on the American patent system, scheduled for tomorrow morning. Mention patents and most people think of either'eccentric inventors or patent lawyers. But, with a bit of thought, it will be realized that whole sections of American indus-

WESTBURY, N. Y. Sept. 5 (U.

Today Greentree, sparked by Tommy Hitchcock, already was in the semifinal round and Old Westbury was favored over Aknusti in an opening round match. Unless the other three teams still in- the tournament—Aknusti, the Ramblers or Aurora—uncover hidden strength, the 1937 finalists seem certain to meet again for the title next Sunday. The winner of today’s Old West-bury-Aknusti game faces Aurora, which drew a first round bye, on "Wednesday. Greentree, which stormed into the round of four with a 15-9 victory over the highly touted Jaguar four in yesterday's opening match of the tournament, battles the Ramblers tomorrow in the other semifinal.

covery as best he can. Basic idea behind this monopoly grant is that it is a reward for disclosing the facts of the invention which otherwise might be kept secret and, hence, lost to the public.
Chemical Inventions Complex
It applied to a better mousetrap this basic idea is relatively simple.
The inventor can manufacture the’ article himself if no one else will. But, in the case of elaborate inventions and particularly in the case of chemical inventions, ’the process is frequently not so simple. A discov= ery in a -test tube, or in a laboratory, is in many cases a long way from large-scale commercial production. First a small scale plant must be created. This “pilot” plant, as it is called, serves to iron out the countless kinks which often appear under the less rigidly controlled conditions of commercial operations. And finally launching of the scale commercial plant must be undertaken. Then, and only then, are many discoveries given to the public after years of effort and many hundreds of thousands of dollars investment in research and plants. The classic example, of course, is the Bergius process for making petroleum out of coal, which was first developed in Germany during the World War but did not reach the commercial stage until after 13 years despite the gions of 150 men at a cost of $6,000 With the 000 00: case "before them, as only one example among many, leaders of the chemical industry are strongly against any decrease in the number of years for which a patent monopoly will run. Last winter legislation presented for consideration by Congress sought to grant the monopoly for a period of ohly three years, after which time it was proposed that any other company could—for due cause—obtain a license to manufacture the product or articie under the particular patent. . The jdea of the proposed change was part of the antimonopoly program which was dusted off for public reaction and comment. It sought, among other things, to prevent the formation of great indus-

thousand American chemists gath- | gram.
But one may expect that the chemists, at least, will not be willing to throw the entire patent system out the window to overcome a few, minor bad points. : Among the proposals for improvement in the present patent system are plans for a quicker granting of patents, less costly patent litigation, fewer infringement law suits and some solution to the “frozen” invention problem. Frozen inventions are those covered by patents taken out solely for future legal protection without apy present idea of putting the discovery in use in the immediate future. It was against this practice that the proposal for the licensing of an invention after three years was aimed in the legislation still under consideration.
Campaign on Mental Aliness Given Boost
By Science Servira COLUMBUS, Sept. 5—A national attack on mental disease will be given impetus by a meeting of a committee of the American Association of Applied Psychologists here tomorrow morning. . At the meeting will be Dr. L. M.
Rogers, director of field studies in mental hygiene for the U. 8. Public Health Service, who will outline. the campaign planned by Uncle Sam for a fundamental attack on the social and economic conditions that form a hazard for America’s mental health. At present filling more hospital beds than all other diseases combined, mental illness has been recognized by the Public Health Service as’ a medical-social-economic problem of national scope demanding co-ordinated opposition. Ways in which psychologists can aid in studying causes of mental illness and the social conditions opposing mental health will be discussed. Lexington, Ky., already has been selected by the service as a typical American community for intensive study of this problem. At a diagnostic center there are registered the individual mental health problems of the community. To this center men and women, boys and girls, needing psychological aid, are sent by social agencies, private physicians, teachers, judges, individuals and by officials of the University of Kentucky.
Communities Also Studied
Thus a cross section of the mental health problems of this sample community is gradually built up. In connection’ with these individual studies, an investigation of the Bos cial and economic conditions of community is being made, especial . as they bear on individual maladjustment. It is in this sort of investigation that the Public Health Service expects particular aid from the psychologists. Chairman of the committee meet ing is Dr. J. B. Miner, who, as head of the psychology department and personnel bureau director at the University of Kentucky, is in close touch with the survey in Lexington.
