 The challenger is due here We'd nesday ready to go into training at the Lincoln fields race course.
 Tunney is not expected much be- fore September 1.
 Rickard went over his ideas of seating arrangements yesterday with engineers of the South park board, which controls the stadium, and draftsmen began work on the blue prints which are to be submitted to the Illinois state athletic commission tomorrow.
 Tentative plans of the price scale show that the $40 ringside seats. clustered around the ring. on the ground between the two colonnades of the stadium kings. constitute but a small percentage of the seats. Nearly all of the permanent rows around the huge concrete horseshoe are scaled at SEQ, $25 and sSo, about evenly divided between the so rows of chairs.
 The glass enclosed press boxes Just in front of the colonnade pill lars, on top of the stadium wings, are said to be the object of consid- erable bidding among those planning to entertain big parties of friends for the fight

League Standing

The Burritts, Pirates and West Ends continued their winning stride in the City baseball league at Walnut Hill park Saturday, hitting hard 10 score victories over the three teams in tho second division. The net re- suit was that the standing remained unchanged. The Pirates showed a much improved spirit and played fine ball in all departments. smothering the Speedboys by 16-O. The Burritts kept up their slugging and piled up a 15-3 count on the Tabs. The West Ends did not far quite so well but were still able 10 turn back the Rangers by S-2 and take revenge for their previous defeat at the hands of that team.
 Pirates 16, Specdboys o
 The revenge taken by the Pirates on Morse Richtmyer, who had held them to two lucky hits when he pitched against them before, was a terrible thing. They fell upon his offerings for 16 hits in seven innings, driving him from the mound for the first time this season, and continued against his successors to make their final. total 16 runs. Meanwhile Everett Williams, aided by good sup port when this was necessary. turned back the Speedboys almost in order and shut them out with four hits. The fifth inning was the only session in which he was in danger at all. and in that innings the two hits which were made came after two were out and the third man was re- tired without trouble.
 The Pirates, going into the game with much of last years pep, hit safely in every inning. but did not score in the first. Erickson unused Johnnie Sheehan's grounder in the second and three consecutive singles followed, three runs being the result Beagle's double drove in Matulis in the third, and Shcchan's hit, a pass and sacrifices by Calire and Cornell made it 50 in the fifth. Begley and Havlick put successive pitches on the tennis courts in the sixth, In the seventh Claire found the same mark and was scored by Cornell.
 The big blow-off came in the eighth when Havlick, Beagle and Yankaskas all pounded doubles into the courts and, with two out, forced Richtmyer's retirement. Bus Mill Ter took his place. Miller pitched 10 eight men and couldn't get one of them out, three hits, four passes and an error allowing all to reach first base. Then Osborne came in to pitch. He started by walking Yam kaskas, but he struck out Cianci and ended the rally. A nice double play, Begley to J. Sheehan to Beagle stop ped the Speedboys in their half after Sheehan had fumbled Osborne's rol- Ter.
 The hitting of the Pirates was steady and terrific. with Havlick, Begley and Beagle leading attack. Milewski made pretty running catch of Beagle's foul in the fifth in ming. Williams pitched a cool and steady game all the way. The box score:

FALCONS DEFEAT
 C0LLEGIAN TEAM
Farmer" BucholtZ InYincible
 With Men on the Bases

The Falcons baseball team defeat ed the Collegian club of Providence Sunday afternoon at St. Mary's field In thrilling baseball game by to 3 score, The game was hoty waged from beginning to end with both teams hitting the ball hard and often. Farmer" Buckholtz was on the mound for the Falcons and though touched up for nine bingles was invincible with men on bases. In the sixth the Collegians put man on second and third with no outs. Buckholtz then treated the large gathering to a neat bit of pitching when he retired the side without a score.
 The Collegians presented hard fighting aggregation but cratic work at critical times cost the visitors whatever chance they had of win- ming. The Falcons were in fine hit ting form and sent out II hard smashes including two triples. John- ny Klatka, hard hitting Industrial league player, had a field day at the bat. The curves of Bradley were meat for Klatka who lined out four terrific hits in four times at bat. A triple and three singles were John ny's donation to the Falcons cause. Bradley started on the mound for the Providence team but found the locals too tough and retired in favor of Noonan in the sixth inning. Noon- an was also hit hard in the few in nings he toiled.
 Lalos played a wonderful game in the field and at bat for the Falcons. The Massachusetts boy displayed great ability in snaring balls nit into center neld. His speed in covering ground cost the visitors three appar- ently safe hits. He also hit well with two safeties in two times at bat. Si Budnick and Jimmy Green kept up their steady work and performed in fine style. Kredar made great run- ming catch in deep center that was a star piece of work. It was easily the fielding gem of the game. Fay and Cummings put up great game in the lot for the Collegians. Brad ley, Doyle and Noonan hit the bell for two hits apiece.
 The locals took the lead In the first when Lalos singled and stole second. A long single by star Budnick sent him across the pan. A hit by Kennedy and wild throw by kopec into center field allowed the visitors to tie the score in the second innings. They took the lead in the third. Doyle walked and a second later stole second. Noonan came through with a hit to score him.
 The Falcons came back in the same stanza to register three runs. Green and Lalos took first on walks Haber was safe on an error which filled the bases. Star" Budnick hit an easy grounder to short and Green scored as Budnick was being retired at first. Eaber started for home and Noonan threw to third to catch him. Fay took the throw and threw 10 home in an attempt to get Haber. He hit the running in the back and both men were safe at the plate when the ball bounded into the crowd.
 Two hits and an error in the fourth gave the Collegians a run. In the fifth a walk to Lalos and success sive triples by Klatka and Kredar netted two more tallies. The game was called at the last of the eighth on account of the heavy downfall of rain.

VEECK SAYS CUBS
 WILL NOT CRACK
Chicago Nationals Have a Sub'
 Stantial Lead Over Rivals
Gy tho Associated Press.


 New York. Aug. 15 Pi-The re- mark of Bill Veeck. president of the Chicago Nationals, on the occasion of the Cubs last eastern invasion may turn out to be prophetic.
 The Cubs" said Bill, will not crack. That's one thing you can count on."
 Since then the Cubs not only have declined to crack but have built themselves a substantial lead over their three major pennant contcn- ders, the Pirates, Cardinals and Giants.
 Big Bill Tilden "cracked" a bit, it seemed, in his two main matches with French rivals abroad earlier in the year but the lanky American tennis acc appears as durable as ever now that he is back on home soil The effects of campaign that has taken him over half of the United States and a good share of Europe this season apparently are just the stimulus he needs.
 Unless some new fighting figure springs to the front the 1927-2S winter edition of the heavyweight elimination follies" will find partici- pating the same cast that provided the entertainment leading up to this years return Dempsey-Tunney title match.
 Jack Sharkey, the Boston sailor, will be ready for action by October. at the latest, his manager asserts Jimmy Maloney. the Boston Irish man. who was eliminated" by Sharkey last May, already has started his comeback.
 Jack Delaney and Paolina Uzcu- dun complete the leading quartet. thus keeping intact the organiza- ton that played" last winters heavyweight circuit.
 Paolino's loss on foul to Delaney was not convincing enough to put him out of future role. The Spaniard indicates that he has lust begun 10 take it."

Germany Plans
Expa nsion of
Aviation Service

BERLIN, May o5.-With the ad-
vent of spring in Central Europe
and the consequent Improvement OF
atmospheric conditions. Germany
is preparing to continue her peace
ful CONQUEST of the air. If the prog
ress made during recent "cars IS
maintained this season. Hermany
bids fair to outdo all nations IN
commercial aviation.
When last fall. most of the large
and small planes Of the Luft Hansa
(the subsidized aviation company
holding a monopoly for all air traf'
fic) were wheeled into their hang
ars, they had covered close to five
million kilometers on 81 lines. lur-
ing the winter only ten of those
lines were flown, bringing the years
kilometer total up to 100000.
Within one year 56,26s passen-
gers and approximately s0o,ooo
pounds of baggage, freight and mail
were carried through the air. There
were but few mishaps and only one
fatal accident. The mileage cover
ed represented an average TO per-
cent increase over the previous year.
All the major European capitals.
London, Paris, Vienna, Moscow and
Stockholm were included both by
the passenger and the freight planes
50 per cent of which left and de
parted according to schedule. In
addition, special health-resort
service was organized for the holi-
day season, bookings for which were
sometimes so frequent that all the
reserve airplanes had to be mobil-
lied to cope with the traffic.
All these activities, it is antici-
pated, will be multiplied this year.
At its close the directors Of the
Luft Hansa hope to be able to re
cord 100 per cent increase of the
passenger and freight traffic and
a substantial addition to the exist
ing lines. Preparations for these ex-
tensions are in full swing and in
elude, among other things, the large
scale training Of pilots.
Most of the present pilots have
seen war service and, if they have
not all been aces, they have at least
all seen the cockpit of battle

Attacks i. S.
BY VICTOR w. KNAUTH
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, May 25.-Violent anti
American newspaper propaganda
which began in the Soviet press as
soon as United States warships act
cd with England in shooting at Nan
king, in China, late in March, has
been continued unflaggingly.
The full force of the Russian
newspapers in moulding the opinion
of the Russian people has been
broadened to bring the United
States under the same sharp at
tacks which have been aimed at
England for many months and
against which the British govern
ment protested in diplomatic note
to the Soviet government in Febru-
9rv.
The reported statement by the
American commander at the Nan.
king affair, Admiral Hough, that
| what the Chinese need is steel. -
has been widely disseminated
throughout the Soviet Union as
showing the attitude Of the United
States government toward the Chi
nese nationalist movement.
Cartoons and violently worded ed
itorials in newspapers have been
broadcast TO emphasize the idea
that British diplomacy trapped the
United States government and lured
il into hostile action against the
Chinese nationalists in order to win
the Americans to England S aggres-
sive policy.
Outside the violent newspaper
campaign, however, neither English
nor American residents in Moscow
have noticed hostile feeling against
themselves.
1t has been the first time in
many years that concerted news
paper attack has been turned
against the United States by the
Soviet press.
