Although their race has been
overshadowed by the heated strug-
gle in the National League, the
clubs OF the American League have
been putting on some rather in
teresting contests OF their own for
the higher positions in the standing.
Little more could be asked Of the
two leaders, the surprising Wash
ington Senators and the Philadel-
phia Athletics, current champions,
than the pace they have been
setting. They are separated only
by a one game margin, the Senat-
ors having two more victories, and
neither seems to be able to do any
thing to increase or decrease ii.
Washington o has won six games
in a row, but the Athletics are
right behind.
They both engaged in double
headers yesterday and came out
with two victories apiece to hold
their places. Washington, with Sad
Sam Jones and Adolph Liska,
carrying the pitching burden. de-
feated the Boston Red Sox, 10 to
2 and 6 to /.
Babe Hits Two
The Athletics got off to a very
bad start against the New York
Yankees when Babe Ruth hit two
home runs on his first two trips
70 the plate and started the Yanks
off to a 60 lead, but those six
runs meant little as the worlds
champions cut loose with a rally
that brought nine runs in the
seventh and a Is to 7 victory. RUDE
Walberg pitched the AS to a 4 to
! victory in the second game, hold
ing New York TO five hits.
Ruth's feats OF home runs hit
ting stole the show at Philadelphia.
In addition to the two successive
homers, the Babe added a third in
the same game.
These twin bills with single vic
tories for Chicago and st. Louis,
drew the second division clubs close
together. Chicago In fifth place, Is
but 2i9 games ahead Of the eight
place Detroit Tigers after yester-
days 8 to 8 victory over Detroit.
Ted Lyons led the SoT by making
three hits. and driving in three

The st. Louis Cardinals got a

CANNON CHALLENGE.
WIRED TO T|NKHAM
Representative Called "CoW-
ardIy" for Charges Made
in immunity.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Tinkham of Massa-
chusetts was challenged by Bishop
Cannon today to repeat his charges
against the dry leader in a way which
would make him subject to prosecution
for libel.
Speaking in the House, Tinkham late
yesterday said the Southern church,
man will stand convicted in the eyes
of all honest men Of having appropri-
ated' to his own use money given to
him to prosecute the anti-Smith cam
paign of two years ago.
This assertion was made after he
had reviewed Cannon's refusal to tell
the Senate lobby committee OF the dis
bursement of $4s.3OO given him by
E. c. Jameson Of New York to promote
the Hoover cause in the South.
Passing through Louisville, KY, last
night, Cannon read of Tinkham's state
ment in the newspapers and Immediate
~ dispatched the following telegram to
Washington:
When Representative Tinkham shall
give to the press over his personal sig
nature the statements reported by the
press as made by him today on the
floor Of the House of Representatives
where he is immune from prosecution
for libelous statements, he may COM
mand the respect of honorable men, but
making such statements on the floor of
the House, where he knows his i'm
munity from prosecution, brands him as
a clustering, cowardly Congressman
appealing especially to his wet Roman
Catholic Boston voters to retain him
in Office"
Before the lobby committee Jameson
testified he gave Cannon SOS, 800. OF
this amount the bishop reported the
tended the remainder was expended in
a manner which made 1t unnecessary
that report be filed.
Tinkham appeared before the COM
mittee and charged Cannon with a
violation of the corrupt practices law
through his failure to report the entire
sum. an assertion which he repeated
yesterday.
Cannon repeatedly refused to answer
questions on his political activities
when before the committee and con-
tended such an examination lay outside
the committees authority. On this
point he was upheld by majority of
the committee.
A report on the Cannon episode was
prepared for introduction today by the
committee. chairman. Caraway of
Arkansas. It consisted only of the
transcript Of the bishops testimony and
contained no recommendations for
action against him.

John Hunter, are plotting the plane and
are refueled and provisioned from an
other plane by Walter and Albert
Hunter, their brothers. Kenneth Is only

Return to Florida
From Pacific Trip
Flyers Who Broke Record
Going West Finish
Eastward Flight.
BY the Associated Press.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 1s.-
William s. Brock and Edward F. Schlee,
transcontinental flyers. arrived over the
Jacksonville municipal airport at 1855
pm, Eastern standard time, and headed
at once for Jacksonville Beach, the An
tsh OF their round-trip flight to San
Diego, Calf.
The plane proceeded to the beach,
where 1t made circle, few over the
finish line and then went back to the
Municipal Airport to land. The tide
was too high for a beach landing.
The aviatorS appeared at the airport
16 hours and ~ minutes after they
took OF from San Diego, Calf, last
night.
The appearance of the flyers brought
great relief to flight ofiicials and me-
chanics, who feared they might have
been forced down in the Far Western
wastes, since no definite word of them
had been received since the California
take-off.
The flyers encountered muggy weather
over this section of Florida. The
motors appeared to be functioning per-
fectly and the plane was travelling at a
good speed.
In landing at the airport. which is
about 20 miles from the beach, the fly
ers overshot the runway and went into
a fence. The plane was tilted on its
side, one wheel was broken but the men
were unhurt
On arriving here the men disclosed
that they had come down at Tallulah,
La. at 8 am. today to take on so gal
Ions of fuel, thus explaining the delay
in their arrival.

BANNED IN CAPITAL
Owners Who Tune Up to More
Than Whisper to Face as
Much as Year in Jail.

Radio loud speakers in the District
hereafter must be tuned down to a
whisper or their owners are liable to 60

A new regulation designed to curb

District Commissioners, today. follows
That 1t shall be unlawful for any
person, copartnership, association, firm
or corporation knowingly or wantonly
TO use or operate or cause to be oper-
ated any mechanical device, machine
or apparatus or instrument for the in
tensiflcation of the human voice or Of
any sound or noise, in any public or
private place In such a manner that the
peace and good order OF the neighbor-
hood Is disturbed"
Other Rules Amended.
At the same time other sections of
the police regulations, such as the ones
commanding quiet In hospital zones.
were amended to include radio noises
among the prohibited sounds.
The penalty for violation of the regu-
lation is the general one of a fine not
to exceed $40, in default Of which the
Judge may impose a jail sentence not
to exceed 364 days. The usual Jail
sentence imposed for default of a $40
fine, however, is 40 days.
The various law-enforcing depart
ments of the District government have
been considering the menace of the
loud-speaker for some time. Early this
month the news was allowed to leak
out that the corporation counsel had
been asked If he would draft some
legislation designed to curb the thought
