The two teams are one-tWo in
the, race for the pennant, with
Mt. Rainier holding a half-a-game
lead over the Dixies for first place.
Sundays meeting will end the
second round of play and decide
the leader up to that time. If
I the third round is turned into a
second series" affair. then the
z meeting will result in the naming
Of the first half winner.
What makes this game so i'm.
portant is the fact that the Dixie
Pigs will be fighting to get back
the lead which they lost earlier
!. in the race, and the Mounts will
be battling to keep the lead they
/ have gained.
( It is fitting at this time that
the game should be played on the
Mt. Rainier diamond. Followers
: Of the Mt. Rainier nine are crazy
about their baseball and their
team, and really let the players
I know it by their attendance.
They cheered the Mounts
y to the heights last year when
: they went up to the final
gaIse Of the series deadlOcked
with Bowie, only to see their
favOriteS lose out to Bowie for
:: the, championship.
And, now, this season. Once
again their team has a chance
/. to cop the banner. It's the Dixie
| Pigs this time as the big obstacle.
A victory and the championship
! will be a realization. They're ask
ing themselves now, can our boys
I do it? Can they beat the Dixie
Pigs, even a stronger team than
was Bowie last year? Or viii
they fail under the pressure?
It can be said that the Mounts
{ have pointed for this game for
/, several weeks. They have four
pitchers ready, all Of whom are
good. Either Corkins or Waple
: WIN get the call, however.

SOVIET THREATENS
 TRADE REPR|SALS
Warns of Action Against Nations
 Banning Its Cheap Goods

Moscow, Oct. 21 P}-The news papers Isvestia and Pravda, in lead ing editorials, today voice threats of economic retaliation by the Soviet government against countries which may pass laws prohibiting import of cheap Russian goods. The editorials are inspired by decision of the council of peoples commissars to reduce to a minimum purchases in any country which places obstruc- tions to Soviet imports
 While the editorials and the com- missar's decision do not mention the United States there is said to be lit tie doubt that the warning is intend- ed primarily for America. Isvestia says:
 This responsive measure of the Soviet government must force the authors and supporters of the so- called Soviet dumping cry who have not yet completely forgotten the A Cs of world economic relations to think over the results of their blind hatred toward the Soviet Union.
 Complaint Called War Cry
 "The cry about Soviet dumping is ar organized machination of limited capitalistic circles who continue, under new form, to prepare public opinion for war against the Soviets. The capitalistic circles themselves know that the dumping outcry is l nothing but a myth. All capitalistic trusts, combines, and concerns dump their goods on world markets.
 "The attempt to accuse the Soviet of trying to aggravate a crisis which has embraced most countries, by means of dumping it's goods, is mere | idiocy on the part of it's lnitiators because Soviet exports compose only per cent of the worlds turnover and this small percentage could by no means influence world trade.
 Claims Imports Needed
 "The Soviet Union exports it's sur plus production and also certain goods which could be used on the home market because we arc in need of foreign raw materials and equipment. Machinery and equip ment compose -fifths of the to- tai Soviet imports.
 we force our exports in order to obtain articles for carrying out our industrialization plan. The religious crusade against the Soviet having failed capitalistic spectators are taking another chance at melting the peasants in their countries against the Soviet states by raising the howl of Soviet dumping.
 "The refusal of the Soviet govern- ment to purchase in countries which obstruct our export will serve to prove to the laborcrs of these countries that the spectators and military adventures not only raise the cost of their bread but also de prive them of work.
 'The decision of the council shows that the Soviet government does not intend to remain a passive observer of the campaign abroad directed against the interests of the workers and peasants in Soviet Russia"

l93O ACTIVE YEAR
 IN PUBLIC WORKS
City Streets Improved More
 Than Usual, Dept. Report States

The annual report of the board Of public works for the year ending March 3l has been prepared for publication in the municipal record and gives a comprehensive summary ot the work in the several depart mehts coming under the manage ment of the commissioners.
 The year proved to be above nor nal in many respects. an early spring with practically no appreci- able falls of snow making it possible to put the streets in condition fully a month ahead of the average an- nual repair work. Weather condi- tions during the summer and fall allowed considerable macadam work average cost per square yard of macadam dropping from $1.46 to s1.14. Approximately 7.35 miles oG penetration macadam pavement was laid during the year.
 In the report of the previous year it was pointed out that lower unit costs for macadam work might be obtained by the acquisition of more road construction equipment. and the budget of 1929-30 allowe1 the purchase Of an additional 12 ton gasoline roller and heavy duty tractor driven road scraper, both Of which contributed greatly to the re- auction in pavement costs.
 Particular attention is called in the report to the very substantial reductions found in such accounts as general repair of streets, and oil ing streets which can be directly at tributed to q liberal program of pavement construction. The moro complete the paved network Of streets in the city, the less the cos. of general repair of streets
 Large Scale Improvement
 Street improvement where street lines and grades have been official ly adopted was undertaken on a large scale during the year. Twelve streets were graded against eight tor the preceding year." the report stated
 NO new subways for the year were constructed up to Jan. lst . f930, except such laterals and new manholes as were required to care for the increased demands of light and power.
 Several important projects were at this time recommended to the common council and started before tho end of the rscal year, notably

The growing need lor ueliii''" plans for dealing with the increasing number of applications for gas sta tion permits was emphasized last night at the board of public works meeting by Chairman Ernest N. Humphrey when the third petition for a permit within two weeks was presented. The petition was from Fred Rumani for a new station at the corner of Clinton street and Corbin avenue, which is vacant lot. Those of NJ. w. Bannan, on be- half of the O'Neil Tire and Battery Co. and the Cities Service Co.,, which were tabled at the last meet ing of the board were not brought up for consideration last night, pending action by the board of ad- iustment with regard to zone changes.
 Residents Oppose Petition
 A salvo of objections greeted Ru- manis petition when more than dozen citizens residing in the vicinity of the proposed station voiced their disapproval on grounds varying from complaints that it would be pub lie nuisance to the fact that the Beniamin Franklin school is with in 300 feet of the lot. Rumani was the only person present who favor ed the new station. Questioning the petitioner concerning his intention of keeping the station clean of he were allowed to build, Chairman Humphrey objected to the broad statement of sure" to which Ru- mani added positively"
 Chairman Humphrey asked just what was the opposition to filling stations. The objectors present pro- tested on various grounds, such as their being fire hazards, threats to pedestrians, and having an objection able odor.
 AS result of the discussion reso- tabled and that the applicant be re- qured to bring before the board a plan of a modern brick building be- fore favorable action could possibly be taken. It was also decided that questionnaires be sent to ncighboring cities in an effort to throw light on ways of coping with the growing problem of where service stations should be allowed.
 A number of other petitions were considered by the board. Most of these were concerned with gutters and the condition of trolley tracks throughout the city. It was decided that no more macadam surfaces be attempted until next summer due to the inability of oil to penetrate properly in cold weather. The Con- necticut Light and Power Co. asked that newly placed poles on Audubon street be inspected.
 A lengthy discussion took place concerning pocket streets which are numerous throughout the city. The case of the extension of Lawrence street to Piermont avenue, which was considered but not acted on by the board of public works in 1927, arose. The plan had been proposed to the common council and had been accepted, but no action has ever been taken by the board. It was decided that the hitch lay in the failure of the board to recommend that action be taken.
 Concerning various complaints about conditions of streets, gutters, and trolley tracks it was explained that the city is always on the look out for bad places and is constantly making repairs as rapidly as time and funds will permit.
 The board of public works, which has been incomplete until now, saw a new member in its midst last night, Samuel w. Menus having been transferred to it from the board of compensation.

Slf,O35.49 Tt was observed that the 65 per cent asphaltic oil has far greater binding qualities, and as this quality was more essential than that of mere dust prevention, and the differ ence in cost per gallon being only one cent greater. the latter was used to a far greater extent.
 Menacing Trees Removed
 "The work of caring for trees was again handled by contract to Henry G. Gilbert of Danielson, Conn. A great number of old trees were re- moved which were considered a menace to traffic and pedestrians. No claims against the city were made during the year, which sup ports the opinion of the board that systematic care of trees is the prac- tical economy.
 "The subway rental rate for the year was 6.l73722 cents, being slightly higher than that of the previous year. The reason for this was the issuance of new subway bonds to the amount of s75,00O and the maturity of s26. 900 in old bonds the interest on which was included in the total amount from which the rental rate was figured"

dunn, largest indoor sports arena in
America. When he was ousted from
the presidency of the stadium, he
still retained a great amount Of
stock, but this may or may not be
valuable for several years to come.
Friends of the dead promoter said
today his most difficult task was
managing his money. He allowed 1t
to slip through his fingers, making
loans to needy friends. much after
the fashion of the late Tex Richard,
who allowed his fortune to slip away.
Sidney Strotz, the present head of
the Chicago Stadium Corporation,
said Harmon, only few months ago,
had between $4,000 and $4,000
cash in the bank, but that it had
disappeared, with no accounting left
to show how 1t was spent.
It can now be revealed that Har-
mons funeral expenses were paid by
his friends-the same friends who
now are behind the movement to
stage the benefit to raise funds for
his widow and daughter.

taken as a real comeback.
Naturally, Gehrig hit more home
runs than Ruth in his first two sea-
