GIANTS HOLD LEAD,
BEAT REDS 5 TO 3
(By United Press)

The New York Giants maintained
their fractional lead over the st.
Louis Cardinals Monday, defeating
Cincinnati, 5 to 8, while the Cards
tanned the Brooklyn Robins, 2 to l.
The Cards theoretically hold the
lead, a half game ahead of the
Giants, but the actual percentage
gives New York .002 advantage.
The Giants had to overcome a
two lead piled up by the Reds in
the first inning to hold their slight
advantage, but they tied the count
in the third and scored the winning
runs in the fifth and sixth. Rixey
took the mound ahead of his turn in
an effort to check the Giants, but
McGraw's men made IL hits off him
and one off Jablonowski who sue
ceeded him.
With the score tied in the ninth,
st. Louis rallied with the run that
decided the game. Ernie Orsatti,
recruit, substituting at first base
for Jim Bottomley, i'll, scored the
winning run after Hafey h a d
singled, Harper had sacrificed.
Holm had walked and Wilson had
singled. The Robins got only four
hits off Farmhouse and Haines.
Philadelphia dropped another halt
game back in the American League
race when the St. Louis Browns
scored runs in the last three in
nings of their game and beat the
Athletics, 9 to 2.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Aug. 20
Adam Getto, a leading miner in
Bentleyville, will be tried in the
county court here August Is, on
charge of unlawful assemblage, pre-
ferred by coal and iron police in the
employ of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration.
The case dates back to the stormy
picketing in early April, when hun
dreds of strikebreakers left the
mines in response to appeal of men,
women and children who marched
upon the mines.
Getto was walking down the road
with two other miners when coal
and iron police accosted him. The
company agents told him that he
was violating the sheriff's procla-
nation by walking in a group of
three, Getto said.
Squire S. c. Lloyd was at hand
in the office of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation a half mile away to
hear the case. "He told me that if
l would plead guilty he'd let me
get away with a $40 fine" Getto
reports. "But l know that this is
their trick of trying to keep US out
Of the fight by soaring and filming
u.s." When Getto persisted in his
refusal, the charge was changed to
unlawful assemblage, and $1,000
bail was set.
The case will be tried in the
Washington County court.

Professor Finds Radio
Cure for tuberculosis

BREMEN, Aug. 20.-At the con-
vention of German radio technicians
here Professor Esau, of the Univer-
sity of Jena, told of experiments
he had carried out on mice, that re-
veal the possibility of curing tuber-
culosis with ultra-short radio waves.
The professor inoculated thirty
mice with tuberculosis germs and
exposed fifteen of them to short
waves. Those treated in this way
remained alive, while the others
died. Esau pointed out, however,
that the method was dangerous
since too long treatment by radio
waves would cause death, because
its strong rays would disintegrate
tissue and cells.
