SHOOK REFUSES
TO COMMENT
ABOUT RULING
Shows No Emotion When
Told of Adverse Court
Decision.
BB United Press

BD United PTess
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 26.-Dr.
James Howard Shook, former Ohio
State university professor, was in
formed today that the state SUI
preme court had refused to review
his conviction and sentence to death
for the murder of Theora Hix, his
coed sweetheart.
The decision, announced Christ
mas eve, was withheld from Shook
until today, unless his wife Helen
told him secretly, so as not to mar
his observance of Christmas. Mean
time, his attorneys we're preparing
a petition ~ a hearing. He is SEN
tenceed to die Jan. 81.
Shook dined in death row in the
state pen,teptiary Wednesday with
four other condemned men. He ate
heartily, seemed in his spirits and
later in the day was visited by his
wife, who q few hours earlier had
heard newsboys selling extras, an
nouncing the supreme courts de-
cision.
The former professor of veterinary
medicine, when informed today that
the courts decision had been adj
verse, exhibited no emotion, nor
would he comment. Should Shocks
petition for rehearing be denied,
his attorneys are expected to appeal
to the United States supreme court.
His only other hope is executive
clemency, but Governor Cooper has
intimated he will keep hands off.

A. |. TURNST|LES
SHAKE OFF RUST
Attendance Million Better
Than Last Year at This
Time, Says Barnard.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HICAGO. July 6.-Turnstiles at
American League parks, all but
rusty for three years because
of Yankee domination OF the
pennant race. are clicking
merrily again and the once half-Starveo
club treasures are becoming rat win
gold.
Interest in the race this season is so
keen, President E. S. Barnard OF the
junior circuit reports, that despite poor
weather and numerous postponements
of Saturday and Sunday games, the
total attendance may exceed that OF
1928 by more than a million.
The change i'm leadership has been
one OF the biggest causes for the inter-
est and larger gates" Barnard said.
For three seasons, New York was out
in front. This year we find Philadelphia
leading but with New York and st.
Louis hanging on tenaciously and De-
troit also having a chance.
With Philadelphia playing away
from home for few weeks starting
today, there is an excellent opportunity
for both st. Louis and Detroit TO mar
row the gap existing between them and
the league leaders.
"A number of promising young play
ers also have helped swell the attend
ances. They are adding color to the
sport and as they will be the stars OF
the future, the fans come out TO see
them in action. They are building up
their individual followings already and
they should increase in size as the sea-
son gets older"

II the major league armies moved
into position for another series
of intersectionsl battles, but
the Cardinals found time to lose their
tenth straight while waiting for the
other teams to swing into action. The
champions were accommodated yeSter-
day by nobody but the Phillies, who
obligingly dropped 20 out OF " to 81.
Louis last year.
Jess Haines made as il to slip a fast
one past Charlie Klein, first Philadel-
phia batsman in the ninth inning, after
Master Klein had refused to bite at two
wide hooks. The fast one was just to
Klein's liking, and he drove 1t high over
the right field wall OF Baker Bowl to
give the Phils a 10-to-9 decision. It
was his twentieth home run and en-
abled him to keep pace with Chick
Hafey Of ST. Louis, who picked up his
own twentieth earlier in the game.
Bottomley and Whitney were other
home run hitters.
The defeat left the Cardinals sagging
at the bottom Of the first division, only
three games ahead of an improved
Brooklyn team. The reverse marked the
sixteenth for st. Louis in the last
eighteen games.
Although the smuggling was wild,
Haines was permitted to go the route
vided his own work among Sad" DALEY,
a Des Moines recruit; Phil Collins anc
Bob McGraw, with McGraw winning.
The Cardinals will remain in Phila-
delpEia for O full series, and the Cubs
will invade the citadel of the Braves
today, but the rest of the intersectional
openings will be delayed until tomorrow
The Reds, who hold the Giants in no
awe, will come to the Polo GROUNDS Tor
well brush with Pittsburgh today, and
the fast-moving Pirates will settle them
selves at Ebbets Field. Brooklyn will
entertain at the Polo Grounds today.
The trip is particularly important for
the Cubs, who have been none too sue
cessful away from Wrigley Field since
Joe Mccarthy took charge in 1925. The
Bruins did have a good record in the
East last May, and Chicago supporters
hope for another such showing. ANY
contender which can make two con-
and get something near an even break
on the third trip, usually has taken
many strides toward pennant.

each other heart failure in the dash
toward the National League stretch,

.HORNSbY CLIMBS
AT A RAPID RATE
Has Increased His Batting
Average by 80 Points
Since June 70.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Since June 28. Rogers Hornsby has
jumped his batting average from $3.50 to
$50. He made a batting average be-
tween June 20 and July of .543 and
II he had been extended he might have
Incl eased Is or 20 more points.
Never since he has been a major
league ball player have there been so
many managers and players critictsing
Hornsby as this year.. Jack Hendricks,
manager of the Cincinnati team, gave
Eastern folks to believe that HornSby
was not so good. This was depressing
news to the friends of Hornsey In New
York, who refused to believe 1t and
insisted that Hendricks was nerve
shocked.
Hornsby made 10 hits and went TO bat
IS times. This. too, right in the very
heart Of the season when pitchers are
st their best. He was batting against
st. Louis and Cincinnati while this was
going on. The st. Louis pitchers seemed
helpless. II anyone told Hendricks that
his Cincinnati pitchers were also help
less, he would resent 1t.
This current squirt by Hornsby Is one
of the best that any batter ever made
in big league base ball at this season
of the year.
BY July the pitchers are presumed
to be ready to go and If these pitchers
faced by Hornsby were not ready II
was their own fault They have had
plenty of time and their salaries have
been going on regularly since the LIST
Of April.
It is odd that Hornsby should have
predicted that he was about ready to
start a swatfest. Before he left Chi
cago for st. Louis, he advised some or
his friends that he would step out
when he arrived at st. Louis. He did
so and il he continues to step as
braVely as he has for the last week,
the other bows who are counting on
winning the individual batting cham
pionship OF the National League In
1929 had better consult their sooth-
sayers again.
The Cubs are not far enough ad-
vanCed to say they can win a pennant
this year. but they are lot advanced
over what they were on the Fourth OF
July, 1928. Their winning percentage
on the Fourth last year was $50. This
year it Is .636. To those who preached
that the addition of a player like
Hornsby to the Cubs would make them
very dangerous. there Is great Satisfac-
ton in this. To those who. for some
reason, do not seem TO like Hornsby.
there is always the Solace Of saying
"Wen, they haven't won 1t yet"

out during the game st Chicago July
4. President Heydler of the National
League announced today.
In advising Wilson by wire OF his
punishment, President Heydler said:
Whatever your proVocation may
have been, you were not justified in
leaving your base during the game to
take the law into your own hands.
Your actions might easily have started
a riot"
Wilson. resenting taunts flung at him
by Kolp from the bench. left first base
to rush at his tormentor. According
TO Manager Hendricks of the Reds,
Wilson failed 10 reach Kolp, but there
was a general scuff1e about the bench.
