gave up only twelve hits. The score
was 5 and 5.

Bruno Haas opened with a triple.
Hopkins lined to Bejma and Ollie's
good catch and throw held Bruno on
third. Tesmer, who batted for Wan

scored on Connolly's double, after
Hoffman famed.
Anderson Stars
In the fifteenth Connolly singled
after two down, but was forced at
second when Roettger made a one
handed stop to rob Grouse of a hit.
Anderson, Apostle center fielder,
gave Burwell the most trouble and
figured in three rallies. He scored
three times and collected double
and three singles. Howard Freigau
drove in three Tribe runs and
turned in a big day at third with
eleven chances.
The entire Indian infleld played
sensational ball, the two errors that
were charged against the home nine
going to Barnhart and Hoffman in
the gardens, and both miscues
helped the st. Paul runmaking. On
the other hand, the Indians twice
were aided around the paths by boots
on the st. Paul infield.

with wonderful support by grabbing
everything within reach and in the
fourth he raced into short center

2 Per Cent Increase During
1929 Is Revealed by
Federal Survey.

Retail food prices In Indianap-
oils increased per cent during

Six Children Never Saw
Auto, Movie or Heard
Radio Playing.

~ United Press
MODESTO, Cal, Jan. 20.-Cali-
Iva fornia, the state which
boasts one automobile to every
family and two for most, has at
least one family of six children
that never has seen an automobile.
That is the odd story told here
by Wesley and Ernest Hewitt,
members of local automobile
firm. after a deer hunt in Mendo-
cino county's wildS.
The two Modestans went so far
back in the timberland of the
northern county that they had to
leave the roads and use pack
horses.
At the end of their journey.
they found a mountain family
with whom they boarded. The
six children of the family, the
Modestans said. tramped five miles
daily to school, had never seen an
automobile except in pictures, had
never witnessed a movie" nor
heard a radio
The hunters said the family
lived among an abundance of food.
Meals served comprised eighteen
different foods. grown or killed

said.

have a close relation to the for
tunes of the leading contenderS.
Japan, by reason of the inter-
oceanic position of the United
States on both Atlantic and Pacific,
plays the greater role.
The mikado's land has a strategic
opportunity of vast potentialities in
case of trouble between the two
main contenderS.
France and Italy, by their relation
to the European balance of power,
constitute the other parts of the
problem. Theirs is the minor
rivalry, subordinated to the all-im-
portant Anglo-American issue.
Obviously, we're Anglo American
relations restored to their earlier
basis of mutual understanding, the
question of naval ornaments would
pass from the realm of current
world politics.
For if the United States and
Britain arrive at an agreement on
sea power, no other nation can
threaten peace on a world scale.
First naval parity, then limitation,
and eventually possibly diSarma-
ment can follow.

"A B CO nations, the Latin-Ameri-
can rivals, have but twentieth Of

becoming obSolescent.
In the far east, Japan is in a
position of dominance similar to
that occupied by the United States
in the new world.
Japan enjoys an unmistakable SUI
prenacy in east Asia, from KAN

tends her power out into the equa-
torial Pacific, She commands vir-
tually all insular approaches to the

The contest for world power Is
