 T0LEAD NATIONAL
Has Every Prospect Of Being at
 Top of Heap at End

Continuing his steady pace, Terry has held his batting average well above the 400 mark while his nearest rivals are some dis tance below that level.
 The semi-official averages released today, which include Wednesdays s games, credit Terry with mark of .410. two points above his average of the week before and 21 points ahead of Chuck Klein of Philadel- phia and Babe Herman of Brook lyn. who are tied for second place at .3S9.

 G While fans from half the National T league still are all steamed up over ? the chances their teams have of win ming the pennant the principal wor- es ry of the followers of the Philadel- phia Athletics now is whether they can find places in Shibe park when the As meet whoever may become the champion of the senior circuit in the worlds series.
 The Athletics have eliminated all but two rivals from even a mathe- nautical chance of taking the Ameri can league flag and the pair that still is in the running, Washington and New York, is left with but few hopes 7 of overtaking the worlds champions. The Senators remain 1-2 games be- hind the Athletics despite all their efforts while the Yankees, falling back rapidly during their series with ' Washington. now are 1 5 games away | from first place.
 -o Cleveland fell by the wayside yes ;. terday although the Indians won 's their seventh game in succession. de- feating the Chicago White SoX, to I. Philadelphia also won a game and the Indians were left IS games behind and with only IT to play for each team. In such a situation, even the fine pitching of Pete Jablonow- ski displayed yesterday was of little use. Jablonowski held the Sox to four hits and missed a shutout only because of a Cleveland error. The Indians made 13 hits off Red Faber anG Garland Braxton.
 Although they lost their eighth ~ straight game, the Boston Red SoX - again gave some trouble to the ~ league leading Athletics. In a = and George Earnshaw. they were < only one run behind up to the eighth ' inning when the As scored three \ runs, two on Al Simmons 34th !. homer
 E. E. Washington gained nothing by ]. slamming the Yankees around for nS, 15 hits to defeat them for the 17th 7. time in 21 games this season by IA ~ to count. Al Crowder pitched a | great game for seven innings, then k let up just in time to allow Babe \ Ruth to resume home run hitting < operations after a lapse of more ]. than two weeks with his 45th homer ain the ninth.
 : Detroit and St. Louis had a day of ;, idleness as did four of the National ..league clubs.
 The St. Louis Cardinals profted by this day of rest, going into second ~place in the National league stand ting, four games behind Chicago. -without making an effort as the Cubs
 and the New York Giants both play
 ed and lost.
 .r Ne" York dropped to third as the 1BostoA Braves hung q third straight
 defeat on the Giants 6 10 4. Bruce
 Cunningham had only one bad in
 ming as he limited the Giants to seven hits, and he would have es-
 caped that but for an error by Rol-
 lings. The Braves hammered away
 at Carl Hubbell, tied the score in the
 third inning md went ahead in the
 fifth with final three run burst.
 The Cubs leG the Pirates almost
 to the final moment. then went down,
 to z. under final Buccaneer rush.
 Trailing 7-1 at the end of the sixth,
 Pittsburgh scored three runs in each
 Of the next two frames to drive Pat
 Malone from the mound and tie the
 score. In the ninth. Paul Waner
 came up after one man was out and
 clouted home run over the right
 field stands to win the game.

his daughters, Isabelle, %, and
Estelle, "a, spent a comfortable
night at the Fauquier County
Hospital, hospital authorities an

It was also said that the father

their heads and burned. The
daughters were less seriously hurt
Motive Known
Sheriff Woolf, of Fauquie
county, said he has established q
motive for the shooting of the
father and daughters, but that
he cannot make it public at this
time. He said charges against
Elwood Payne, colored, who con.
fessed that he shot and then
burned the man and the women
will not be placed until Corbin is
entirely out of danger.
The sheriff said II has not been

Admits Shots
Payne admitted, Sheriff Woolf
, said, that he shot Corbin while

TRUCK TAGS

Another skirlnish was reported
as the tag war between the Dis
trict and Maryland broke out
again.
Twenty trucks, used by a con-
struction company to bring sand
and gravel from Berwyn, Md. to
College Park where the new
Episcopal Church is under con-
struction, were forced to quit
operations when Maryland State
policeman discovered they were
operating on District plates.
State Policeman j. E. Taylor
ordered the drivers of the trucks
to suspend operations until they
had acquired Maryland tags.
They were allowed to unload the
gravel already in the trucks, when
the foreman of the Job appealed
to Sergt. G.. P. Gearhart, in
charge of the substation.
Policeman Taylor arrested Jack
r. Simms and Roland Duprny,
both of Washington, for failure
to stop at an arterial highway.
The men protested that there
were no stop signs at the crossing
but Justice of the Peace George
Phillips ruled that the Maryland
law requires a driver to stop
whether or not there is a sign.
Work on the project was re-
sumed later and all of the trucks
bore Maryland tags.

Microscopic Photography
Aided By New Lens

A difficulty which for years
has necessitated long and tedious
labor on the part Of scientists
in the photography of minute
objects has finally been over
come by the invention of j. &.
Pratt, scientific photographer Of
the Department of Agriculture.
Pratt after several years Of re-
search has developed lenses and
lighting arrangements for micro
Scopic work which not only inten-
sify light several hundred times
stronger than sunlight, but in
crease the depth of focus.
In the past, according to Pratt,
when work was being done in
microscopic photography several
minutes were required for ex-
posure and due to light condi-
tions the field necessarily was
The Washington times., 1930-07-03

decidedly limited; that is to say,
at the edges of the microscopic
area the detail of the photograph
was somewhat vague.
, With the new lighting arrange
ment and special lense it is pos
sible to take scientific photo
graphs of minute insect and
plant matter up to as high as
800 diameters and with but a
few seconds exposure. This. Pratt
says, will eliminate much of the
work heretofore required by art
lists with the aid of a microscope
1t is now possible to obtain
sharp detailed reproductions of
biological subjects which nav e
more or less depth and reflect
little or no light. The invention
adds depth where before the re.
productions presented a flat sur.
face.
