Recipients Of western hospitality
for more than two years, Miller
Higgins punch drunk Yankees rap
idly are discovering that they have
worn out their welcome beyond the
Alleghenies.
They're paying for that hospital
now.
When Willie kamm socked a
triple in the 18th inning at Chicago
yesterday, scoring Bob Falk with
the run that enabled the Whitesox to
trim the Yankees, 5 to 4, it marked
the champions tenth reverse in Is
starts since they invaded the west
for the second time on July Is.
Fortunately enough for Miller
Higgins, the Philadelphia Athletics,
for some unknown reason, took it
into their head to lose at Detroit, 8
to 5, thus leaving the White Ele-
plants thre, and a half games back
of the Yankees in the duel for first
place in the American league.
Kamm's timely long distance clcut
brought we'll deserved triumph to
Grady Adkins who relieved Urban
Faber at the start of the ninth in
ming and allowed the Yanks only
two hits the rest Of the distance
seven innings to be exact. George
Pipgras was the third and last Yam
kee pitcher and as such, was charged
with the defeat.
Connie Mack picked George Earn
shaw to face the Tigers and lived to
regret it. He was pounded out after
less than four innings and Eddie
Rommel took up the burden with
three run deficit.
Terrific clouting by Ralph Kress
and Heinie Manush was the high
spot in the St. Louis Browns tri-
umph over the Boston Red Sox, 9 to
A. Manush and Kress each collected
a triple, double and single in four
times at the plate.
Cleveland and Washington divided
a double bill, the Indians taking the
first game to 4 and the Senators
the second, II to 2. Pitchers domi-
mated in each game, Miller for the
Indians in the opener and Hadley
for the Senators in the second. Joe
Judge hit two doubles, a triple and
two singles in five chances in the
nightcap.
Rain or wet grounds put a quietus
on the National league campaign for
the day except at Philadelphia where
Burt Shotton's Phils surprised
everybody, including themselves, by
shellacking the Chicago Cubs in both
ends of a twin-bill, 8 to z and to
l. Hack Wilson furnished the only
consolation for the Cubs by driving
out two homers in the first game
his 25th and Goth of the season.

MILLERS BEAT

Indianapolis Now Leads Min.

gin; Saints Lose

Chicago, Aug. 7.-(P)-Hopelessly
out of the running for championship
honors, Memo Liebold and his
Columbus Senators have turned out
to be real mischief makers of the
American Association race.
Their latest victims are the Kan
sas City Blues, who came to Column
bus in second place and with PEN
nant hopes high. Sunday, the SEN
ators gave Them a double setback
and yesterday, they turned the trick
again, sinking the Blues to third
place-by the scores of 6-5 and 1915.
Mike Kelley's Minneapolis team
continued it's sensational play. They
were beaten until the ninth inning,
but then their bats ratified again.
They scored six runs in the final
frame and beat the Indians. IL to
10. cutting Indianapolis lead to two
games. The Millers now have won
13 and lost five on their road trip.
Eddie Sticking capped a perfect day
at bat by doubling in the ninth in
ming with man on bases and Louis
vile, another mischievous team beat
st. Paul, 8 to 2.
Milwaukee and Toledo played a
doubleheader but got nowhere. The
Hens won the opener, 4 to /, and the
Brewers won the second, 8 to 2.

sumner should pay for the service he
receives. the state railroad board
has held in the case Of certain citi-
zens of Litchvillc VS.. j. W. HAIRS
ager, operator Of the electric light
plant at that place.
The petitioners asked for increased
hours Of electrical service and a re-
duction in the rate. They wanted
service during IS of the "a hours
daily, except Sunday, and rate Of
Is cents per XVIII.
After a hearing, during which all
phases of the business were consid-
cred, the commission established the
rate at 20 cents per XVIII and d.
rected that service be given from
one-half hour before sunset until
midnight and from seven o'clock in
the morning until noon. On Sundays
service will be given from 10 o'clock
until noon and from one-half hour
before sunset until midnight.
In it's investigation the commits
sion found that some of the consum-
ers had meters, which they owned
themselves, while others received
service at flat rate.
The company was directed to take
over all meters within the next year
and that other consumers be put on
q metered basis within 80 days SO
that not more than five per cent of
the consumers shall be on a flat rate
basis. The commission promised to
make further investigation of the
case to determine the reasonable
ness Of the new rates under the
changed conditions of service.

PETITIONS FOR
GAS TAX BOOST
IN CIRCULATION
Only q Few Received 10 Date
Must Be Filed BY
March "a

Although petitions for change in
the gas tax law arc being circulated
Throughout the state, only few have
been received by the committee which
is receiving the petitions here. it
was announced today.
The petitions, which are being cir
culated under the direction of the
North Dakota County Commission.
ers association, ask that a vote be
taken next June on the question Of
increasing the present two.cent gas.
olinc tax to four cents.
For many years this state had a
onc-cent gasoline tax. In June, 1926,
it was increased to two cents by a
vote on an initiative measure. The
two-cent law contained provision
whereby farmers could obtain re-
funds for taxes paid on gasoline
used for power and purposes other
than propelling vehicles over the
highways.
One Cent to Counties
The proposed four-cent law would
retain most Of the features Of the
present law. 1t would provide an
additional tax Of one cent a gallon
for use by the state highway COM
mission in building state highways,
and new tax Of one cent a gallon to
be turned over to the counties for
use in building county highways or
to defray the county's share of build
ing state roads.
The proposed initiated law would
apportion the money to the counties
on the basis Of the ratio of the num-
be- of vehicles registered. Such pay
ments would be made quarterly in
the same manner that the county's
shares Of motor vehicle license taxes
now are disbursed.
The only other important change
from the present law would be pro-
vision requiring applicants for re-
funds to file their applications with
in six months after the gasoline is
purchased.
Under the law, members Of the
committee said, 10000 signatures to
the initiated petition are needed and
the petitions must be filed with the
secretary Of state not later than
March q to get the matter on the
ballot at the June primary.
