Indictment weather conditions this afternoon made it probable that the ball game scheduled at City Park this evening between the American Legion and Douglas would have to be postponed. Rain which has fallen intermittently since Wednesday morning, was still holding sway with little indica- tions of break.
 Tonights game and one Sunday between the Elks and the Vets arc the only ones left on the regular schedule. Theer is a postponed game between the Moose anc Douglas remaining. Should tht vets defeat the Islanders when theS play, however, it would not bt necessary for the game to be played off. The best that the Islander: can hope for is to tie the Moose who have lost two and won si' games. The former have alread, lost three games and would have to take it's two remaining game: and the Moose lose one game fol the two teams to tie

TEXAS ROOKIE RULE
 HELPS MAJOR SCOUTS

DALLAS, Aug. 8.--A bumper crop of young major league prospects has appeared in the Texas league this 9 season with adoption of the rigid | five-rookie rule.
 Y Scouts from leading clubs, which have picked up dozens of stars from Texas diamonds in years past, are working the circuit harder than ever.
 Several clubs have received att tractive offers. Cecil Stewart, the eedy secondbaseman of the Shreveport club, probably will bring the fanciest price of all this fall Officials so far have refused to pin price tag on him.
 While not an exceptionally hard hitter, Stewart is dependable, and his fielding has been sensational. To start the season he accepted 156 chances before committing an error.
 Bernard Starr, slugging Shreve- port catcher, and Irwin Jeffries, Dallas third sacker, are other rock ies who are almost certain to get chance under the big top next year. Starr led the league in bat ting for several weeks.

against himl Thinking this was only flash
 in the pan, sports scribes did not pay much attention to him in 1929 until he began break ing fences all over the circuit. Now, midway in the season, Klein has amassed total of 28 home runs, leading both leagues. and is the proud possessor of batting average of .373, fourth highest in the National League. Klein is one of the very few men in the history of baseball who has hit five home runs in three consecutive games. This he accomplished re- gently. Klein's story is one of the strangest of any ball player in the game today. Instead of cracking under the tremendous impetus of a major league opportunity, ne has become better fielder and vastly improved hitter.

 Although he was off to late start, Angley hit for 369 in his first 27 games against American asso- citation pitching. That put him in second place to Hargrave of St. Paul, the circuits leading batsman.

MEXICO CITY, May 24 One student was killed and g persons wounded, four seriously, in rioting growing from a student strike at the Rationale University Law School over the monthly exanina- ton protest.

When the students agreed to strike they started out of the and the police opened fire, killing one student and the others fled into the building, barricaded the doors and opened fire on the police with pistols. Bremen started using axes as weapons, attached a hose to a hydrant and finally subdued the fighting mass.
