here from Butte, the boys second
team winning 10 to II and the girls
coming out victorious with q So to IS
count.
The Butte cage men stepped away
to 6 to lead In the first few
minutes Of play and seemed on the
way to an easy victory. However,
when the Drake floormen got their
bearings they gradually overhauled
their opponents and at half time the
count was knotted at 10 all. During
the second half the Drake athletes
managed to connect with the loop
sufficiently to remove any danger Of
their being left on the short end Of
the score. The Butte floormen were
outplayed by wider margin than the
score indicates.
Harvey Kriugen was the leading
scorer for the locals with three field
goals to his credit. Sendelback and
Ostron played excellent on the de-
Tense. For Butte r. Rigge was the
chief threat on the offense. He con-
nected with the loop four times from
the field for total Of eight points.
With Videll Stoeber leading the
attack the Drake girls basketball
team defeated the Butte girls by q
SO to Is. score. Scoring nine times
from the field and twice from the

20 points was more than enough to
win the game. However she was ably

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6. U.P)-
A battery charge againsty C. C.

dismissed on motion of the district

Stafford was fined $3.50 in Al
hambra on a complaint sworn out
by man who witnessed the mixup

background for the hostilities which
flared when the two men met unex-
pectedly before a soda fountain.

CHINESE LEADER
RESIGNS BECAUSE

Failure To Reduce Ex-

Quits Office.
BY. RANDALL GOULD
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


SHANGHAI, Aug. 6.U.R)-Dis-
couraged over the failure of the
Nanklng army disbandment confer
ence to reduce military expenses be-
low $13,000000 monthly, T. V.
Soong, finance minister, has resign
ed.
Soong who is a brother of Madame
Chang Kai-Shek and Madame Sun
Vat Sen, has directed the finances
of the Nationalists since they first
obtained control of the Shanghai and
Nanking areas. He has pleaded
constantly for reduction of the
army.
1t is believed that Soong's action
will serve to further complicate n
confusing political situation that
has developed since China began her
controversy with Russia over the
Chinese Eastern railway.
Military leaders have paid little
heed to Soong's recommendations
simultaneously the position of the
foreign office under DR.. G. r. Wang
has been made difficult by various
Marking officials who issue unau-
thorized statements concerning the
railroad controversy.
Chang Hsueh Liang of Manchuria
is apparently acting independently
of Marking in dealing with the
Soviets. Both have submitted pro
posals to the Soviet representa-
tives at Manehouli, and little pro
gress toward a broad settlement is
indicated.

Lightning ADDS To
Forest Fire Danger

Portland, Ore, August Sit is any
bodys guess as to how August ush-
ers in the theoretical height of the
forest fire season, according to bulle-
tins received by the Western Forestry
and Conservation Association from
federal, state and private protective
agencies from California to Montana.
Conditions over the Pacific Coast vary
between extremely dry and dangerous,
with lightning storms increasing the
hazard, and occasional light local rains
which reduce it temporarily. Losses
so far have been light except for
grass, grain and brush fires in Cali
fornia; not true forest fires. Generally
speaking, the protective agencies are
holding their own so far. Careless rec
reationists are almost universally re-
ported the greatest present danger.
Of all the 1929 fires reported, total
ling 1915, California has had 1854;
356 on forest service lands and 1898
elsewhere, but only 10000 acres were
timberland, with small forest loss. The
Klamath region was the worse hit.
Oregon has had 447 fires; 247 on
federal lands, but only 1920 acres of
timber burned with loss of perhaps
II million feet-only about one good
timber claim, ii condensed. lightning
has been troublesome.
Washington has had III govern
ment, and 297 state and private, fires
since the season opened. Timber loss
is negligible. Loss of logs, logging
equipment and settlers improvements
is trifle over $4,000 only. Of the
297 non-federal fires so far, 66 are
ascribed to smokers, 43 to campers,
38 to numbering, rs to railroads and
brush burners 81. Chief danger from
now on is laid to recreationists.
Montana and Idaho report 1856
fires, with conditions in the national
forests, due to lightning, apparently
the most critical on the coast. Sew
eral fires are out Of control. Governor
Erickson has issued a proclamation
urging extreme caution and it is be-
ing distributed over western Montana
by airplane.
So far it is an erratic season, with
high hazard now reported, but also
with protective agencies extremely
successful so far The situation is
better than at this time last year, but
weather conditions threatening
Forest visitors and logging operations
constitute the chief hazard. Law en-
forcement officials are on their toes;
promising short shift for violators Of
laws penalizing smokers, campers,
slash burners and careless loggers.
