urged Valley workers TO learn 70

packers, do a large part Of the work
for which outside labor is hired.
A regular avalanche Of written
and verbal protests against Col.
Sans views descended upon The
Herald. The visiting packers got
the idea that when the colonel re-
ferred TO tramp-labor, he was casting
reflections upon them. This, he
said, was farthest from his thought.

at Altoona
Billy Arnold Favorite in
200 Mile Event
Today.

ALTOONA. Pa, Sept. Lied by
smiling Billy Arnold, youthful
Chicago pilot and winner of the In
dianapolis and Altoona races, twelve
of the country's best automobile
speed drivers were ready today to
start the annual 200-mile Labor day
A. A. A. race at the speedway here.
Arnold, with an eye on the ma
tional drivers title, was the leading
contender. Should Arnold win, the
national title is his. Shorty Can't
lon of Detroit is ranked as Arnold's
chief challenger.
Arnold beat his own mark of
1928 miles an hour to qualify for
the race at 124.3 miles and many of
the other twelve qualified at over
lis miles. That fact has lent
strength to the prediction the thou
sands of race fans gathered here
will see one of the fastest contests
in the history of the classic.
The race is scheduled to start at
2 o'clock, eastern standard time.

Benny Bengough insists that 1 hit

ing our big season in 1927. Bob
Shawkey says he recalls one that
hit in the same section, but he is
not sure about where it struck. This
is a tipoff that I haven't hit many
out that way.
I'll say q hundred people have
asked me if that was the longest
homer I have hit, and I received a
number of letters referring to it.
Most Of them put this question up
to me in one way or another:
IF that wasn't the longest home
run you ever hit, what was the
longest? How many feet did it
travel?"
I'll answer here that I don't
know. Measuring a home run is
impossible, since most of them go
beyond the walls or fences, and
finally land where q tape could
never reach.
I believe, now that home runs
play so big a part in baseball, that
a lot of fans would like to see num-
bers at various places in the ball
parks, telling the distance from the
plate. If the fan knows how far a
ball travels before it reaches a fence
he can judge how far beyond the
wall it went. I don't argue this for
myself, but for all the men who hit
home runs.

NEW YORK, Sept. Double
headers claimed the attention of all
major league clubs today. In the
National League the four first di-
vision teams had their Labor day
twin bills away from home. Chi

York at Philadelphia, Brooklyn at
Boston and st. Louis at Pittsburgh.
In the American League the
Philadelphia Athletics visited Van
kee Stadium for two games with
the Yankees and the Washington
Senators entertained the Boston
Red SoX at Washington.
The Cubs had half a game shaved
of their National League lead
Sunday when the st. Louis Cardi-
mails beat them, 8-3. Wild Bill Hal
lshan held the Cubs to four hits,
while the Cards drove Jess Petty,
resurrected from the minors. to
cover in four innings.
The New York Giants missed a chance
to make a long stride in the p%ennant race
by dividing a double-header with the Bos-
ton Braves. WinniE the first game. 4-3.
and losing the second game. 14-10.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-09-01

The Cubs now are leading the
pennant parade by five full games,
with only twenty-six games remain
ing on their schedule. Ordinarily
such a lead would be considered al
most insurmountable, but all three
of the ~contending clubs are con-
vinced they still have better than
an even chance to pass the leaders.
Cards Also on Road
New York, in second place, five
games behind the Cubs. and Brook
lyn, in third place, six games in
the rear, have the advantage of
spending their final month of the
campaign on home soil and appear
to have the best chance in event
the Cubs crumple on the home
stretch.
The st. Louis Cardinals, six and
one-half games back of the Cubs,
have played the best ball in the
league during the last month, but
ike the Cubs, are handicapped by
a schedule which calls for them to
play sixteen Of their remaining
twenty-four games on foreign dia-
monds.
The confidence of the contenders
for the Cubs lead is based largely
in the fact that many of Manager
McCarthy's stars are out of the
lineup with injuries and the
crippled condition of the pitching
staff.
Face Mound Crisis

Blake, two of the "hig four out of
commission for at least another
week and with the balance of the
staff arm weary from the exhaust
ing competition of the past ten
days, Mccarthy is faced with a
temporary mound crisis.
Today's double header against
Cincinnati put an added burden on
the Cubs staff and even the most

their WIS a strong possibility of the
Cubs losing a part of their five
game lead before Mccarthy is able
