Drowning Tragedy Averted.

Dry Cleaner Peterson or "Pete" as
he is Familiarity known figured in an
episode Friday afternoon at Moose
Lake which nearly cost him his life
by drowning. He and his son with
Pat Burns had gone to the lake on a
fishing trip. Their French bulldog
accompanied them. "Pete" thought it
would be just right to give the dog
a bath and threw him into the water.
The dog fell in such manner as to
strangle him and he sank. "Pete
jumped in after him, secured the dog
and started to swim for shore. When
a short distance from land he felt
himself giving out and pushing the
dog as far as he could, attempted to
follow. Being clothed in heavy gar
ments, he felt he could not reach shore
and cried for help. Mr.. Burns, fishing
near by, reached out his pole to the
struggling man and by sheer luck
succeeded in bringing him ashore.
The dog was drowned

MINORS GIVEN

Must Submit to Draft
Or Hunt For
Own Players

CHICAGO, July 10.-F-A new
front IN the baseball wars took form
today as the three big" minor
leagues and two smaller circuits
considered an ultimatum from the
American and National Leagues
which demanded that the minors
either accept the universal draft or
hunt alone for players.

meeting yesterday. American and
National league club owners ap-
proved a resolution that all player

unless the latter agree 70 become
subject TO the universal draft.
The drastic step means that the
major leagues will release no more
players to the minor groups involved.
or buy any players from them.
From the Pacific coast. officials OF
the San Francisco club said they
would not submit TO the universal
draft without a battle.
George "a. Putnam. secretary or
the Seals. characterized the edict OF
the major leagues as IAN ~autocratic
move that will not be folsted off on
us without q fight"
Dale Gear, president OF the West
ern League, called the action
merely q move on the part OF the
majors to get complete control OF
baseball"
President Thomas J. Hickey OF
the American Association, expressed
surprise at the action OF the major
league owners. but would make no
comment on the probable attitude
Of the directors or the league.
Hickey, however, said the problem
would be discussed no u joint meet

The home run, or four-bagger,
has not been exactly a stranger to
Texas league circles this season, but
IL took the Wichita Spudders to
demonstrate the full Importance Of
the circuit blow in modern baseball.
Where the average club utilizes the
big smash principally for show pur-
poses, depending upon the singles
and doubles for heavy duty. the
Spuds apparently have decided to
specialize in rapping them over the
fence.
BY way Of illustrating their latest
speciality, the leaders raped five
into the outer reaches yesterday TO
trim the Waco Cubs. 6 to 2. in their
opener. The five major explosions
accounted for oil six runs as Larry

Reds Sink Chicago Cubs for Fourth Straight
ROBINS GRAB
DOUBLE BILL
Senator'S Winning Streak
Come to End at Hands
OF Red Sox

The Cincinnati Reds are strug-
Cling deep in the second division OF
the National leagu. but when the
Chicago Cubs, champions last sea
son and contenders for this years
title, come along the Reds step out
and play some first division base
ball.
The Reds knocked the Cubs clear
out of first place in the last few
days by winning four games in a
row and made II a record OF seven
victories over Chicago in eleven
games played. There seemed to be
every reason why Cincinnati should
lose the final clash yesterday but
they had the champions coming
from behind all the way and finally
put over a run in the tenth inning
to gain a 4 to 8 victory. The Reds
were outhit, 1l-l0, and seven Of
them famed against Charley Roots
pitching. but still they had enough
punch to squeeze over the odd run.
Cubs Two Behind
The defeat dropped the Cubs two
full games into second place as
Brooklyn took both games Of a
double header from the Boston
Braves. With Dazzy Vance pitching
.superlative ball, striking out nine
while he allowed only three hits,
the Robins took the first game 8
to 0. The Braves put up a better
battle in the second and ID required
n hnWrn TTrvr wx-f~h f-n Anr-~ EN- 49,
Del BisSonette TO give Brooklyn a
GA decision.
The steadily advancing st. Louis
Cardinals picked up another game
on the New York Giants and now
are only a hall game back OF third
place as the result Of their 7 TO 6
victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates
while New York dropped another to
Philadelphia by a 5-4 count. The
Giants began taking their poultry
census before the final score was
Matched and the Phillies jumped
on Hubbell as he let UP a trifle
and won out with two runs IN the
ninth inning. The Cards added a
single run to the group scoring as
each team tailed in three rim
bursts. and that odd colnter
brought the victory.
The American league celebrated
the end Of Washington's long win
ming streak. which came at the
hands of the Boston Red Sex in the
second game Of a double header,
but the Senators still gained a half
game on Philadelphia and led by
that margin. Washington continued
to use only one pitcher to a game.
but Lloyd Brown gave tn Red Sox
IL hits in the second contest while
Milt CASTOR held the Senators to
eight. and Boston won. 5 to l..
Washington took the first game 5
to 2, behind Sam Jones pitching
TO make II ten straight.
AS Off
The Athletics. In second place,
had a very bad day against the
New York Yankees and went down
by a II to 6 score. The Philadel-
phia pitchers were ineffective and
the fielding behind them was bad
and the result gave New York a
dozen runs from ten hits with all
the r coming in three inn
ings. Tn Yankees still remained 5
1-2 games out OF second place af-
ter thir recent slump.
Once more Babe Ruth provided
one Of the days biggest pieces of
news by drawing down a three-day
suspension because of the previous
afternoons dispute with Umpire
Brick Owens. The punishment did
not turn out to be very severe as
an injury was keeping the Babe
out OF action.
