MOTOR CLUB TO
CUT BIG WEEDS
War on Corner Jungles Is
Being Waged.

Weed cutting was started recently
by the HooSier Motor Club in a spe-
cial effort to decrease the number
of accidents caused by high weeds
in vacant lots and along the high
ways.
Weeds and brush have assumed
tropical luxuriance during the past
few weeks and have made many
intersections very dangerous, &C
cording to Duane DUNCAN, president
of the club.
"There is no intention on ocr
part" said DUNCAN, ito relieve the
property owner of his obligation by
Iva to cut the weeds over his entire
property in the city and along the
highway outside the city limits, but
our safety work demands that
something be done Immediately to
stop the series of accidents caused
by DISTRACTED views.
Property owners in Indianapolis
are required by ordinance to have
all weeds cut and removed before

WAR BOOMING SHANGHAI
Riches Flow TO Safe Cities rs
Revolution Continues.

BU United Press
SHANGHAI, July 22.--Shanghai
today possesses Ear more wealth
than ever before in its history. This
is chiefly due to the silver stream
that has poured into the city in the
past few months from all over the
country, and to the influx of wealthy
Chinese. Shanghai and Dairen are
considered as two cities reasonably
safe during the latest warfare.
The preliminary negotiations that
were supposed to lead up TO tho
revision of the status of the Tientsin
British concession, brought about
an evacuation of Chinese wealth to
Dairen that was nothing short OF
phenomenal.

Herbert 7. PennoCk. Pitcher

Pitching his fifteenth major league season, Herb Pennock this year rolled up a winning average of about .G67 which compared favor ably with his performances in previous years. He has the distinc- ton of never having lost a world series game although he hurled for the championship for the Athletics in 1914 and for the Yankees in 1923 and 1926.
 A 1.-the left-hander with a genius for pitching the right ball at the right time, Pennock puts into his mound work much of the cunning attributed to the silver fox which he raises in the off season at kennett Square, Pa.
 Having won .676 per cent of his games last season, Pennock stayed on the fox farm this spring until the Yankee management finally acceded to his demands for a salary increase, when he became the highest paid member of the club with the sole exception of Babe Ruth.
 Pcnnocl broke in with the Ath- letics of 1912, was sold to the Red SoX in 1915 and released to Buffalo on option for a time in 1916. Hug gins obtained him from Boston in 1923 for two players and cash.

Urban J. Shocker, Pitcher

Buttressed by Yankee hitting, Urban Shocker this year turned in the finest season Of pitching success in his 12 year major league career. Like his teammates, Hoyt. Pipgras and Moore, his percentage of games won was above 100. In his previous two years with the Yankees Shock CT won more than half of his games, although in his only world series ex- perience last season he met disaster, being knocked out by the Cardinals with 13 hits in 2-3 innings.
 Shocker, powerfully built right handler, is a reformed catcher. When he first played professional ball in 1913. for Windsor in the border league he was on the receiving end, but was quickly switched when the manag cement noted the speed and zip with which he whipped them back 10 the mound.
 The insignificant sum of s750 was paid for Shocker when the Yankees bought him from Ottawa in 1916, and he was traded two years later to the St. Louis Browns with other players for Pratt and Plank, but 10 get him back in 1924 the New York Tanks gave up Joe Bush, Gaston and Girard in trade.
