SLEEP NOT NEEDED
 HAMMAR DECLARES
Wants Married Couple to Try
 His Nature Methods

Paris, Sept .22 (UP)-Convinced that death is unnatural, sleep is un- necessary, and that everybody can live to be as old as Methuselah, Park Hammar. 67, retired paint mann facturer and biologist of St. Louis, sailed for America today to begin his unusual back-to-nature experi- ments.
 Hammar hopes to find married couple in the United States who will go through with an experiment de- signed to prove that the human race should walk on four limbs instead of two. If his quest in America is unsuccessful. he will return to France within six weeks, he said.
 The couple who embark on Ham, mars plan will sleep outstretched on logs for short periods several times a day, ultimately substituting rest periods for sleep. They will eat raw vegetables and fruit and spend the rest of their time swimming in order to regain the recumbent posi- tion which Hammar believes natural to man. They will wear no clothing.
 Hammar first tried to get an "ideaT' Russian couple to carry out his experiment. He had hundreds Of applicants, for he offered a good salary and expenses to the United States. The applicants also under stood that they would share in Ham, mars fortune after his death, if they made any headway in advanc- ing his theory of immortality. But none of the Russians were accept able.
 "The purpose of my plan, Ham, mar said before proceeding to Cher boure, "is to achieve @ perfect bal ance of action and iraction, re- composition and decomposition in the human body. Once that is achieved, there is no reason why the human body should not live forever, or at least prolong its life.
 "Our way of living is gradual sui eide. Our systems are clogged with poisons. In the biological experiment which I hope to carry out the f,rst rule forbids the wearing of cloth' ing as clothing acts as an insulator for the poisons of the body. We will eat only fruits and vegetables, sleep or rest on logs and exercise in a swimming pool"
 Hammar believes that business men who would like "cure" by his methods every few years could keep fit for work until they were we'll past 100 years old Sleep" he said, "is really wasted time. What we really need is genuine rest periods many times day. I believe the best way to get perfect rest is to stretch out on a log, with the arms and legs hanging over. The cells of the body then function more correctly and we are more invigorated than if we had slept.
 Swimming is the only natural and perfect exercise, and raw vege- tables and fruits is the true food for human beings. The methods which I hope to test should not only de- velop our bodies, increase our health and contentment, but extend our span of life.

FURTHER BUSINESS RECOVERY OFFSET
Confidence Lessend by Renewed
 Weakness in Stocks

New York, Sept. p (UP)-Evi- dences of further business recovery during the past week were some- what offset by lessened confidence occasioned by renewed weakness in stocks and in many of the commod- ity markets. as we'll as appearance of decreased political stability in Germany.
 Various trade indices show that business improved moderately, but not in the subsantial manner indi- cated by the gains of tho preceding week. Hopes of a more than sea sonal recovery at this time, how ever, are still being voiced in com mercial circles, with the next few weeks expected to indicate the ex- tent of the recovery.
 Among the industries to report improvement this week were the steel. automobile, retail and miscel- laneous manufacturing lines. These gains were tempered by continued slowness in the building and allied lines. Conditions in the oil indus try were also described as very un- satisfactory with further appearance of gasoline price cutting.
 One sign of encouragement to manufacturers working for more stable conditions was the reported settlement of unsatisfactory condi- tions in the tire industry which have resulted in disastrous price cutting recently. Similar settlements are hoped for in other lines where profits have been impaired by the business depression.
 Weakness in stocks had consider able effect on sentiment, many of the leaders sagging when 1t became apparent that rising prices were failing to attract the public partici- patton hoped for earlier in the month. Rising brokerage loans in dicated larger public buying but not to great extent. Falling prices in German bonds on baseless rumors of political disturbances, was also disconcerting. Lower prices in stocks were also influenced by con- tinued decrease in many grains.
 Improvement in the steel industry was accompanied by f1rming up of pig iron prices. Retail trade was aid- ed by slightly cooler weather, while activity in the manufacturing lines was featured by increased activity in the radio and business machine lines.
 The employment situation in var ious sections of the country has shown little change and is still ad- mitted as serious. Part time work by many of the larger industrial companies. however. has served to alleviate the situation to some ex- tent and little distress is reported.
 Conditions in the copper industry continue poor with prices of the metal falling to the lowest price in 30 years. With copper selling at 10h cents pound, many of the producers will undoubtedly be forced to shut down until some favorable prices develop. Low prices for it's products is also a factor in the current depressed state of the automobile industry and there are fears of further price cutting when the fall buying movement runs its course.

ST. MATS GAMBLE ALL
 ON DEFEATING BAPTISTS
Hope For Victory Which May Mean Tie If South Church Is Upset
 Three Games Are Scheduled

The Inter-Church baseball league this evening will begin its final week of play with three games at Willow Brook park. The First Baptists will be the final opponents of the St. Matthew's German Lutherans, whose chances of retaining their cham pionship now appear very slender indeed but who will not give up de- spite the seeming uselessness of their effort. If they win tonight they will pull up 10 within a few percentage points of the South Con- gregational church, but the latter team can win the league by coping it's two remaining games. One loss however, will throw it back into a tie, and on that possibility the St. Matts are gambling everything. They are favored to defeat the Bap- lists, although they had a hard time doing it earlier in the season and the West Main street team offered staunch resistance to the South Church a week ago. A fast game Is expected. It will be played on the grass diamond"
 The Swedish Bethany team, with t3 consecutive losses chalked against it, will play the Trinity Methodsts, who may now be con- sidered definitely out of the pennanC race, on the second diamond. On Diamond No. 1 the Memorial Bap- tist and St. Marks Episcopal teams will clash. Neither of these games will have any real bearing On the league standing.
 Fridays games will bring the South and Memorial Baptist teams together. with the St. Marks facing the First Lutherans and the St. Johns Lutherans opposing the First Baptists. A postponed game be- tween the South and St. Mark s teams will then be the only unplay- cd contest, and this will be taken care of next week.

 IN THIRD PLACE

 to Battling Royals
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 The Toronto Maple Leafs, stagger- ing about for several weeks, finally have surrendered third place in the International league to the Montreal Royals.
 The Leafs dropped four games over the weekend but the two they lost yesterday to the Royals were the most costly since they enabled the Royals. in a virtual tie for third place after Saturdays games, to gain clear title to that position by a margin of two full games, all of them in the losing column where they count most.
 A Sunday crowd of 5000 turned out at Montreal to watch the Royals win by scores of S-4 and 7-5. Marty Griffin was touched for an even dozen hits by the Leafs. but was very effective in the pinches. Mon good use Of the Il hits and eight passes they obtained off Shaute. Harrison and Graham. Roy Buck alew came to the rescue of Gowell Classet when the big left handler be- came wold in the second inning of the nightcap and held the Leafs fairly well in check to gain credit for his tenth victory of the season. kunesCh, Toronto outfielder, got a home run in the fourth inning when Haines and Rippled collided while running at top speed for his drive to the outfeld. Both Royal out felders were knocked unconscous but were revived and continued to play.
 Rochester maintained it's lead of ting a double bill with Buffalo. win ming the first game, 19-7 and drop ping the second. 42. The Redwings ripped into Wertz, Bloomer and Lucas for A hits in the first game, five going to Collins and four each 10 Brown, Warrington and Flor cncc. In the second game, however, Dave Danforth gave them only six hits and beat them without much trouble
 Baltimore also broke even in two games with Jersey City, taking the first, 9-3 and losing the second, 90. The Orioles hit Johnny Allen hard in the opener but could do nothing with Cy Moore in the nightcap. Julian Vera was the hitting star of the day with triple and five sin gles in eight trips to the plate.
 Newark made it three in a TOW by beating Reading in a double header, 5-1 and 2-1. Jess Petty gave the Keys only two hits in the opener and Myles Thomas limited them to three in the second. In the face of pitching like that the Keys could do nothing despite good hurling by Warneke and Carts. New ark's double victory left the Bears only game and a half back of fifth place Buffalo.

YACHTS AWAITING
 STARTING SIGNAL
Four Defender Candidates Join
 Graft in Annual Cruise

Newport, R. I. Aug lp-The four cadldates for the honor Of de- tending Americas cup and about 100 other sleek yachts. both sail and power. awaited only the starting signals today 10 be of for Matta- polsett. Mass q distance Of 31 miles, on the second run of the an- nual New York Yacht club cruise.
 The cup candidates. Weetamore, Enterprise. Yankee and Whirlwind, were to get away first as a seperate division, and other sailing crafts, classified according 10 size and rat ings, were 10 leave in other divisions at f1ve-minute intervals Power crafts were not in competition.
 The Weetamoe, Morgan Nicols syndicate sloop won the opening run from New London to Newport on Saturday and with d light breeze she was favored 10 repeat. The En- terprise also likes a light air but she is at her best in q smooth sea and that condition does not seem likely over the course to be sailed today, The Whirlwind had the ex- pcrts guessing. Radical changes in her rigging have been made and Saturdays test when she finished third behind the Enterprise and ahead of the Yankee, was not re- garded as conclusive of what she could do.
 The eight-day yacht club cruise has no official bearing on the selec- tion of the sloop which will defend the Americas cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock 5th in September but gives the crews of the sloops a chance to get better organized and the shippers an op- portunity to experiment in an effort to get the best speed possible out of their craft.
