Tafnirs, by nosing out the P. < r. Corbin combine , 10 1 in the In. dustrial baseball league last night. has cemented> its hold on second place and has also furthered it's chances of catching the leaders in the race for the pennant. In the other game staged last night, the American Paper Goods showed the New Britain Machine further into the cellar by swamping them 19 to 9
 Fafnirs 2-Corbins
 With Lefty Huber pitching un- hittable ball and his teammates play ing an all but errorless game behind him. the Fafnir team nosed out P. & F. Corbins to in the game played on Diamond No. ?. The con- test was one of the best and short est battles fought in the Industrial league this year and was in the doubtful column right up until the last man was out in the ninth inning. It took an hour and 17 minutes for the eight and half innings to be played and sparkling catches, stops and throws were the order of the day.
 The hits for both teams were scarce and far between. Huber, using q slow ball and fast one to perfec- tion, allowed only three hits. no two of which came in any one inning. while Jagloski hurled game that would ordinarily have been turned into a win. He allowed only seven bingles but three of these were punched in the third frame to score the two runs with which Fafnirs won the game.
 P. S5 F. started to score in the first frame when Jasper connected for a two bagger to left field. Preisser sac riflced him to third and he scored with a pretty slide as Patrus went out at first.
 The Fafnir team went into the lead in the third. Kenure started the racket when. as the first man up. he poked a single to left. Venture sacrificed him down the line and O'Brien came through with a single to send him to third. Fergusons one base slice to left center brought both men in.
 That ended the scoring. Fafnirs failed to get man past second for the rest of the entire game and only Ferguson reached second to be caught stealing third. Bucheri hit a double in the fourth but was out for not touching first.
 Corbins threatened all through the rest of the game. In the fourth, Patrus and Mickey Huber got on the former by single and the lat ter by a walk, with only one out, but both were stranded as their mates failed to come through. In the fifth, Lipka got to third with one out but he was caught at the plate by a nice throw from Venture as he tried to score on a short fly to right field.
 In the ninth. Jasper, the first man up. walked. stole second and went to third on an inf1eld out. but he was stranded there when Mickey Huber sent high fly to left field.
 The Corbn team played errorless baseball Jasper had five hard chances at third base and made them all good. He featured the infield play of the losing team. Venture and 'Brien each had three putouts in the outfeld for the winners, while Kania, Bucheri and Walicki, the in field combination. had 10 chances 1 between them without a blob. The

FIELDS DECLARED
 WELTER CHAMPION
Wins Title From Joe Dundee on
 Foul in Second Round

Detroit, July 26 Pl-Jackie Fields today is the undisputed welterwelght champion of the world.
 Fields won the title last night, de- feating Joe Dundee, the title hold CT, on a foul, in the second round of what was to have been 15 round battle.
 Dundee, knocked down twice in the second round, cut loose with sweeping right hand punch that landed deep in foul territory, min- ute and 55 second after the round opened. Fields collapsed or the can vas and was unable to regain his feet.
 Writhing in pain. Fields was drag ged to his corner. but was suffering so intensely that he was unable to get on his chair and fell into the resin. After physicians made an ex- animation, the low blow was pro- nounced a foul and Felds was awarded the fight and the cham pionship.
 Dundee was guilty of fouline after he had received s5O,O00 in advance for risking his title against the chal- lenger. He was paid s10,000 at the | time the match was made and got the remaining s40.000 before he en- tered the ring last night. Some Of the skeptics advanced the oplnion that Dundee foulcd Fields when It was apparent he had no chance of winning and possibly would have been knocked out before the finish of the second round or at least the next one.
 The chin that absorbed Mickey Walkers punches, and the batterlns of Pete I.atzo was an open target for Fields sharp right crosses and left hooks.
 Dundee started to sag under Fields wallops in the first round and broke completely in the second. A few seconds after the second round opened, Fields sent crashing right to the chin that dropped Dundee to the floor for count of nine. There was little strength left in his wobbls legs when he regained his feet. He staggered forward and ran into an- other right hand punch that landed on the peak of the chin. He went down again, this time for a count oi seven. When he got up he fell into the ropes and then cut loose with the terrific right hand punch that landed low in the groin.
 Dundee claims the blow was ne. livered unintentionally. but it was doubted hy ringsiders whether he would have survived the round. After hitting the floor twice, Dundee ap. pearcd completely bewildercd anC the sting was out of his punches. He staggered around the ring like z drunken man after he foulcd his youthful challenger.
 Dundee barely made the welter. weight limit of 147 pounds wher they jumped on the scales at o'clock yesterday afternoon, He wal drawn to the last ounce, barely tip ping the beam at the class limit. H. scaled about an ounce under the fig ure. while Fields weighed in at 145 To all appearances Dundee wa! forced to exert every effort 10 make the weight
 The Michigan board of athletic control, which governs boxing in the state. may find itself in the position Of being unable to fine Dundee fol fouling, as Floyd l'itzsimmons, pro moter of the contest, was forced tt pay the champion his full guarantee of $50, 00o before he pulled on th' gloves. The boxing board may sus pend Dundee, but may have il; troubles in assessing a fine. The sus Ipension would mean nothing to tho

 | The Machine Shop was short one player when it was time to start the game and Jim Maher. who was as signed to umpire the game, was pressed into service and was given the catcher's assignment. Incident ally he did fine job. The winners got off to seven run lead in the first two innings and from then on the elements of contest were lacking although the crowds interest was kept alive by the hitting of each team.
 Neither pitcher bore down as each realized that tight tWirling would not win the game. The fielding was no more than adequate.

It's difficult to work up much en- thusiasm over the approaching foot. fall campaign in the midst of July heat wave but the gridiron ballyhoo can already be heard.
 At West Point. where they know nothing about summer vacation, Red Cagle is getting into condition for his last fling by workouts on the artillery range. John Law, Notra Danes captain. is toting bricks in New York for exercise and training.
 Florida, which was heard from considerably last season. is mapping plans for it's most ambitious gridiron season., including successive contests next fall with Georgia Tech at At lanta, Georgia at Jacksonville and Harvard at Cambridge, in addition to late-season affair with the Uni yersity of Oregon at Miami.

of a fingerprint on the doctors car. He had read of such things in the newspapers.
 The farmer-sheriff knew nothing of fingerprint science himself, but he ordered the car carefully guarded and called in Police Chief Lee Rich ardson and Fingerprint Expert R. s. Terwilliger of Garden City. Kan. Hurriedly. he brought them to the scene in an airplane.
 The bandits had taken pains to wipe out all prints inside the car, but one had escaped their notice a fine impression of blood-stained thumb in a rear window. And on that the whole case hinges.
 Sheriff Alderman had this finger print photographed and copy sent to the governments bureau of iden- tification at Washington, that vast clearing house for criminal records. Months passed. nothing happened.
 Just a few weeks ago. however, two men were arrested in Stockton, Calf, on some trivial charge. fin gerprnted and turned loose. These prints, too, went to Washington. An eagle-eyed government expert dis covered that the thumb print of one of the men arrested in California, who gave his name as William Har- rison Holden, was identical with the thumbprint found on the glass of Dr. Wineinger's auto in Kansas!
 But William Harrison Holden and his pal had vanished. One might as well search for the pro- verbal needle in the haystack.
 A few days later, however. the Washington expert discovered that this thumbprint was identical with that of a certain Jake Fleagl.. who had served term in the Oklahoma penitentiary some years ago. The links began to connect
 FIeagle Family is Nabbed on Ranch
 Sheriff Alderman rushed to the Oklahoma penitentiary to learn everything he could about Jake Fleagle-his address, his habits, his record, the persons with whom he corresponded while in prison. Strangely enough he found that Jake Fleagle was the mans real name and that his father owned a ranch near Garden City, Kan.
 Alderman went there and found

AVIATION STRESSED AT BERLIN SESSION
Advertisers Told Of Power Of
 Planes in Worlds Work

Berlin, Aug. 13 Aviation as one of the most important future meth ods for advertising was discussed before the international advertising association in convention here to- day.
 Lester D. Gardner, former presi- dent of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America, just ar rived from tour of 20 countries by air, told the congress:
 ''The aerial age has commenced and flying will serve publicity at every point. It will speed up all preliminary work of advertising, and deliver journals to distant points so rapidly that radius of mer- chandizing will be enlarged for all products.
 Better Delivery Seen
 Goods will be delivered over wide areas in shorter time than local deliveries can now be made" He added that, thanks largely to the press, that has not only recorded progressive stages in the history of flight but has stimulated the art of flying by offering prizes and trophies and awards that have been great incentive" a world wide network of international airways soon will be developed that will have as great an influence on industry as the -ele- graph and railways.
 Belief that advertising in the fu-

the bandits had escaped from La mar after the bank robbery! Alder mans heart leaped.
 Jake Fleaglc Escapes by 10 Minutes
 The sheriff found the Peoria po- lice had just released a woman com- panion of Dr. DeMoss-a great blunder, he says-but they had the address of her apartment, so he rushed there.
 He learned that Jake Fleagle had been living there with DeMoss and the woman-and that Jake had fled only 10 minutes before he arrived! Fleagle had departed so hurriedly that he had even left his hat.
 In the apartme ent, Alderman says. The officers found a small arsenal consisting of five rifles, an auto matic. shotgun and 2.000 rounds of ammunition. In the room, too, was a blood stained canvas sack like that used by the leader in the I.a- mar bank robbery to scoop up the money. Blood tests will be made of the stains on this sack to compare them with the stains on the dress of a woman bank employe on whom the wounded bandit dripped blood.
 DeMoss refused to go to Colorado without requisition, papers and was left in jail at Peoria. but Ralph Fleagle waived extradition and the sheriff brought him back from Kan kakee in an airplane. He is believ- ed to be the first prisoner ever so transported.
 Tratled Bandits in Many States
 During the 14 months before the Washington expert stumbled upon the fingerprint clues, Sheriff Alder man had been busy. He travelled thousands of miles all over the United States. personally investigat- ing bank robberies and aided in the arrest of 150 men, 40 of whom were found to be wanted" in various cities. He was just on the verge of clamping down on one suspect when the latter was shot and killed in a bank robbery at Fountain Square. Ind. last May.

dropped with a bullet in his brain.
 Blood was streaming from the wounded leaders mouth. It cov- cred his face soaked his shirt and ran all the way down to his shoes. He made a grisly figure as he con- tinued to direct the robbery giving orders in the same quiet tone and scooping money and bonds into can- vas bags that he carried.
 The job completed the leader made E. A. kesinger, a teller. and Eskel A. Lundgren. a clerk, get up and carry the money bags to the bandits waiting auto-a blue Buick sedan. Dropping their revolvers and picking up rifles that were in the tonneau, the bandits sped off in a cloud of dust, carrying Kesinger and Lundgren with them.
 A few miles down the road, Lundgren was dumped out. un- harmed. Days later the murdered body of Kesinger was found in an old farm house.
 Sheriff Alderman. notified by telephone at his home. rushed to the bank and gave chase in his auto. A few miles down the road he sighted the speeding bandit car and opened fire with his siX-gun.
 But one man with pistol was no match for five men with rifles who stopped and blazed away at the sheriff's auto. Alderman dropped behind his machine as it was riddled with rife bullets.
 200 Scour Country in Big Manhunt
 The greatest manhunt since the days of Jesse James was on. The Kansas Colorado border region was swept as though with finetooth comb. But no trace of the bandit was found-eXcept one.
 pr. William Wineinger of Digh- ton, Kan, which is nearby, was decoyed from his home that night by a man who told him a friend had ben injured in a tractor accident and went. Later, his murdered body was found in his blood stained car on a lonely road
 Obviously. Dr. Wineinger had been kidnapped by the bandits to dress the wound of their leader and mur- dered to prevent their identity. So, Sheriff Alderman reasoned, there might be a valuable clue in the form
