DEPRESSION IN
/ BUSINESS HITS
TOURIST HAVEN
Northern Michigan Resorts
Suffer Heavily from
Financial Crisis.
BY CHARLES Z. CARLL
Times stan Correspondent

ST. IGNACE, Mich, Aug. l2.-This
land Of tourists. forests and lakes is
blanketed under the cloud "a. I
shadows the nation-bsd business
for the first time in years.
In the few short weeks Of the
tourist season here where every one
from bod carriers TO millionaires
flock for cool breezes. the general
depression has echoed with the COM
Ing Of the vacationists.
Persons who, in this territory,
make their living for the year by
renting rooms to the tourists. are
bemoaning conditions. Their ledgers
show only a small income as COM
pared with last year. and they have
empty rooms every night.
Depend on This Month
They are looking forward TO this
month and the annual influx Of hay
fever sufferers to save them.
Probably the most tragic report
received here comes from the north
west part Of the northern peninsula,
where 200 families are living in
tents made of sacks that contained
road building materials. waiting for
berries to ripen so they will have
something to do.
This doesn't mean that the tour
lists are not heading for this coun-
try in droves as they have in years
gone by. It means that they either
don't have the money to spend or,
If they do, they are not spending it,
after they get here.
Crops Escape Heat
The state parks that dot Michi-
gan are filled with tourists. 1t is
much cheaper to put up tent and
use the little cook stoves supplied
by the state for the board and room
than it is to go to hotel, room
ing house Or camp and eat in a
restaurant.
The cool air in this area for the
last month has saved the farmers.
They are not haraSser by the heat
and scorched crops this far north.

Heydler Proves Wise by Not
Making N. L. Race Prediction

has won It with such q low percentage.
This morning, with the pennant race
still to run to the end of September,
the Brooklyn club led the National
League with percentage of .586. That
is straw. as.
It is also 81 points lower than the
so-called standard - mechanically
fixed standard-of championship base
ball. A team Is supposed to play .661
base ball to be an assertive champion
Few play that well. A championship
at .625 is very good.
The clubs lower in the race in per
centage than they were year ago are
Chicago. st. Louis, Pittsburgh, Boston
and Philadelphia. The clubs that are
higher are Brooklyn, New York ana
Chicago won the pennant 81 1923
and Pittsburgh was second. with New
York third, and of the three the Giants
are the only one to have improved. They
are $50 as against .391 in 1929. They
must thank their skin against Philadel-
phia for much of this, as they have won
i've games from the Phillies, who have
yet to obtain a victory over them:
The most disappointing team In the
race Is Philadelphia, for which great
hopes had been held. due to the sue
cessful finish Of the team last year.
There were 7h games between the
first and last club in the league this
morning. A week Of continued success
by the Phillies and q week OF continued
defeats by one or two clubs In the first
division Of the race would change the
standing SO sharply that the losing
manager would run into the desert to
pray for relief
Not a team in the senior circuit has
proved that 1t can start runaway ride
for the pennant. Pittsburgh surprised
the fans at the start. Once the Cubs
appeared to have settled to a steady and
conservative gait. The Giants went West
and returned home to get their ribs
kicked by Boston and the Robins are
now enjoying their turn in the pilot
house.
Here enters the most significant fact
of all. In spite of the closeness Of the
race this year, and Notwithstanding its
kicks and rebuffs, at each week end the
Giants have been In the lead. On April
10, 26, May 3, 10 and II Saturday night
has come around with the Giants on
top.

The trend of modern sport is shown IN
the fact that Flynn, one OF the olu-tiInc
boxing managers. handler and trainer

most of his attention to gon IN later
years. At Dempsey's training quarters ~
Chicago, Flynn had a two-hole gou
course set up as soon as he had com.
pleted arrangements for the ring tnat
Dempsey boxed. In. His new fad super
seded the old.
If any one had said 10 years ago that
there would soon be keen gof rivalry
between Leo p. Flynn and Jack kearns
the odds are heavy no one would nave
believed any such event possible. 1et
both Flynn and Kearns turned INTO
first-class golfers, able to keep around
the low 80s and now and then slip INTO
the 70 ranks.
Flynn was as smart in his golf as
he was in his boxing trade. He soon
realized that the scoring. range was
from $50 yards up to the green and
it was at $50 yards, 125. 75 and closer
that he practiced. He made few mis-
takes around the green.
Flynn was q colorful figure, who VIII

II
AA League now!
" II you like fight take a
peek at the four-team battle
for the championship of the first half
of this league. G. p. o. today Is at
the top Of the loop, but from the way
things have been going, it doesn't mean
whole lot. It's been see-saw scram-
BILE all the way, and for the first time
this season, q single team lays claim to
undisputed first place.
All hopes the Navy Yard supporters
may have entertained were practically
blasted yesterday when the hustling
Government Printing nine pounded
Lefty Kuhnert, who had won both games
the Sailors are credited with. The
Printing ONCE teams 6-to-5 win in a
10-inning game, was its fourth victory
In six starts.
If every member of the Navy Yard
team put UP half the game the ancient
Johnny Bleier played, the Sailors might
be still in the running.
/ AL Bleier did was to pound out three
hits in four times at bat, score trio OF
runs. drive across another, steal base,
work Pitcher Tom Heany for a walk,
the fielding gem of the league race
when he robbed Lou Hollis Of what
seemed certain home run.
Although there Is q mathematical
possibility of Navy Yard yet winning the
first section of the loop, 1t is pos
sibility only.
Interstate and Naval Hospital, the
former now occupying second place in
the standing and the latter in third
with two wins and three losses, may
have something to say about who will
win the first half, but the Union Print
ers, who share the runner-up place with
Interstate, is the team to watch.
After slow start the Typos have been
setting the league afire and the club
that wins the pennant will have to beat
them.
Umpire Ping Purdy bids fair to be-
come the Roy Van Grafian OF the Gov
ernment League. Local sandlotters al
most unanimously declare that he Is one
of the best jumps In this vicinity and he
is not only accurate in nearly every in
stance, but puts himself across with his
colorful "Steeerike" and "Bawp calling.
Pinch-hitter Corkins, who batted for
Tom Heany in @. p. O.'s half of the
eighth inning, made one OF the hukiest
hits ever seen on local sandlots. Lefty

Corkins went after 1t and not only hit
the ball. but also the ground with
his bat. The hit was q slow grounder
down the third base line which Meehan,
Navy Yard third baseman, could not get
to first in time to catch the runner.
Western Electric is at the top of the
Industrial League by virtue OF its 9-to-6
victory over Holmes Bakery
Express pulled into tie for second
place in the Terminal "Y" League by
defeating Southern Railway, II to 6.
Interstate will have chance to tie
for first place In the Government League
this afternoon when it meets Naval
Hospital. A win for the Hospital boys
will put them In q tie for second place

they take on the weak Southern Rail-

F..
asked at the beginning Of the present
base ball season to make some COM
ment on pennant possibilities in his or
ganization. His only comment was that
he thought the race would be closer
this year than it was last He was
right, as is shown by the five-way bat
tie being waged for the lead.
The closeness of the standing has
been brought about because i've clubs
stand lower than they did a year ago,
when the top-notch club in his league
was not up to a percentage Of 900. II
that had been true later In the season
there would have been much eiation.
There should be now. Unless some
team of the senior circuit suddenly steps
out in front and shows its vanishing
heels to the other seven 1t Is fairly Ger
tain that the National League pennant
g not to be won this year until more
than one team has taken punch and
sat down for the count.
IN 1926 st. Louis WOE the pennant IN
the National League with o percentage
Of .578. No other National team ever
