 Yesterdays battles along the ma jor league front failed to shake up the standings to any marked degree but they did give Burleigh Grimes and Bob Grove a chance to snow why they're the leading pitchers in their respective leagues.
 Grimes. whose spitball seems to puzzle the batsmen more each pass ing year, pitched the Pittsburgh Pi- rates to an to victory over Brook lyn and enabled them to retain their half game lead on the field in the National league. Grove, fastest of the fast ball pitchers. held the Chi caso White Sox to six hits as Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics turn ed in an 8 to triumph and re- mained eight and a half games ahead of their nearest rivals in the American league.
 Grimes now can show 14 victories against one defeat. Groves record IS 14 and .
 The Pirates made Crimes task easy by getting 10 Johnny Morrison early in the game. Their l2 hits in cluded home runs hy Paul Waner and Adam Comorosky. Morrison's setback at the hands of his old teammates was his first since he re- turned 10 the majors from the American Association. The curve ball star had won six straight games before he met his match in Grimes.
 The Cubs and Giants kept step with the Pirates. Chicago trouncing the Boston Braves. II to 3 behind Hal Carlson's five hit pitching while the Giants were beating the Cincin- nati Reds for the third straight time, 3 to 0. Larry Benton gave the Reds only three hits, no two in any one inning.
 In the other National league en- gagement the Phillies made it three out Of four from the fading St, Louis Cardinals. to , despite four hits hy Chick Hafey. The Cardinal outfeld- CTS performance gave him eight suc- cessive hits.
 Grove was given considerable op- position at Chicago by Harold Me kain, a rookie. The As were leading by only ? to l going into the eighth but drove Mckain out of the box with a six run barage in that frame.
 The Yankees kept step by burying the St. Louis Browns under a 10 to 3 count, hammerinr three Browns pitchers for 16 hits including Lou Gehrig's 22nd homer of the year. George Pipgras granted only four hits and retired the first 13 men 10 face him in order.
 Washington and Detroit split a double bill, the Senators grabbed the first, 5 to 1, at George Chle's ex- pense when Johnson's error per- mitted the winning run to score in the tenth. The Tigers slugged out Is hits to take the second game, 1C to 6. Four runs coming over when Marty McManus hammered a home run with the bases filled in the first inning.

New York. July LP,-Bascball and day out while their more favor cd fellows play the game, get head lines only at long intervals but they are very necessary.
 A few like Ben Paschal of the Yankees and Pat Crawford of the Giants hit home runs now and then as pinch hitters and are acclaimed for a day but the majority spend | their time yelling terms of deriSion | in loud tones at opposing players, and just as derisive remarks in more modulated accents at umpires.
 The strength of the reserves, how ever may decide the major league pennants. A major league team is just as strong as it's substitutes and no stronger.
 No manager knows when a star may be apacitated and unless a reasonably efficient replacement is at hand, pennant hopes are likely to fade in an afternoon
 The Yankees are well fixed with extra men. When Babe Ruth and 1 Bob Meusel, two-thirds of the out | field, were stricken by sickness at the same time, Sam Byrd, Ben Pas Chal and Cedric DurSt were thrown into the breach and held their own while the stars were away Miller Higgins also has two capable infield I nj in orI- Ia To t.t years regular shortstop, and Lyn | Lary, high priced recruit from the Pacific coast.
 The Athletics are not quite so well heeled. When Max Bishop had 10 retire temporarily from second base, Manager Connie Mack shifted Jim my Dykes from third to second and stationed Sammy Hale at third, without greatly weakening the team, but another inf1eld injury would en- barrass him. He probably would 1 have to toss the veteran George Burns in at first and plug the hole with the versatile Jimmy FoXX. In | the outfeld the leaders are better off with Homer Summa. Ossio Or woll and Walter French standing 1 by.
 The Giants uncovered the games greatest pinch hitter in Pat Craw- ford, who can play either third or i first, and Manager McGraw has | plenty of other extras.
 | The Cubs have a capable cmer2en- l cV iOfipl5pr in M,N;1l,,, who hit well while playing third base in recent pinch. The Pirates call on Brickell when the regular outfielders falter, and there are many others in the majors who lead 1 inactive but important baseball lives

among the 104 persons arrested in
raids conducted by federal dry
agents in East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor Tuesday night ard early to-
day. He is endeavoring to obtain
$4,000 bond, the highest set for
any of those taken into custody.
Twenty more warrants remain to
be served.

marshal, both of South Bend, were
active in directing the raiders.
In a statement today the district

'The raids in East Chicago re-
veal astounding conditions of disre-
gard for law. A thorough cleanup
is imperative. The government will
prosecute the cases to the limit"
Reports were current in South

meroUs kilograms to officials at
Washington Tuesday in an effort to
prevent the raids.
AS fast as arrests were made the
prisoners were taken to the Lake
county Jail at Crown Point. Soon
it was filled to capacity and the jail
at Hammond pressed into service.
One man, foreigner, is in jail with
his head bandaged, due to a severe
beating administered by agents after

ISn00kS FATE Is Expected to
Rest With Jury Late .Today
Lavye1S Make Final Pleas
Guard Is Doubled Over
Professor in Last Hours
of Trial.
BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY.
limited Press STAFF Correspondent


COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 14.-The
fate of DR.. James H. Shook, former
Ohio State university professor
charged with numbering Theora
Hix, was to pass into the hands Of
the jury this afternoon.
In court Tuesday when the state
demanded the electric chair for the
former professor, Shook seemed near
collapse. His hands twitched and
his face was alternately flushed and
haggard. His nervousness was in
creasingly apparent today and
Sheriff Harry T. Paul feared a COM
plete collapse.
Max Seyfert and John F. Seidel
made the final pleas for the de-
Tense today and Myron T. Gesse-
man and Prosecutor John j. Ches-
ter Jr. closed for the state.
Admonitions Of Judge Scarlett to
the jury were expected to consume
less than an hour. 1t appeared
likely the jury would retire for de-
iberations some time during the
afternoon.
mo mercy" was the plea of Paul
G. Hicks, assistant prosecutor in the
first of the states closing argu-
ments Tuesday.
mo motive has been shown" was
the counter plea flung before the
jury by E. o. Ricketts,, defense
counsel.
Charges Brutal Murder
''If DR.. Shook killed Theora Hix
in self-defense, why did he mutt
late her body?" Hicks demanded.
THE state of Ohio contends that
the testimony shows by the way he
brutally murdered and mutilated
this young girl that he is entitled
to absolutely no mercy at your
hands,
Ricketts, based his plea on the.
contention that none of the instru-
ments of the murder had been Sc
creted or buried, and that if the
states claim of premeditated muir
der-puniShable by death-waS true,
DR.. Shook would have hidden the
hammer and knife with which Miss
Hix was killed.
Seyfert, IN his address today,
delved deeply into the intimacies of
Shook and Miss Hix and placed the
burden of guilt" upon the girl.
"She was quiet but sneaky," said
Seyfert. Something not normal
must be involved in the life of a
girl who would associate with Mey-
ers (Marion T. Meyers, a former
suitor) and Shook at the same time.
Only one term can be attached to
Meyers. He is but a creature-not
a man"
Cites Right to Life
eff Shook is killer, a Demon"
said Seyfert, death is too good for
him." Seyfert then asSailed Miss
Hix's character, declaring she, not
Shook, with whom she occupied
$4 a week love nest, brought about
her own death"
Shook moistened his lips and
cIasped and unclaSped his hands as
Seyfert painted a sordid picture OF
Theora, then turned his attack upon
Prosecutor Chester, who he termed
a wolf.
Had Theora Hix been the worst
character in Columbus" Assistant
Prosecutor Gessman dramatically
began for the state, "she still had
the right to live"
The courtroom was silent. AS on
previous days most of the audience
was composed of women, most OF
them of the fapper type and there
was much wiping of eyes.
