The rivalry betVeen the New York
Giants and the Chicago Cubs. which
is Just about as old ms the two
teams, has raised its head once
more. But this year the teams are
not battling each other for the
pennant and there seems TO be little
chance that either viii overtake
the flying So. Louis Cardinals.
In the past few weeks. the
Giants and Cubs have changed
positions every few days. first one
slipping a trifle ahead and then
the other catching up. The Giants
are on top today, holding second
place BY "a margin OF a half game

CHICAGO. July o.-tP-A last,
the big wal club swingers OF the

~ that the manufacturers weren't
just fooling when they came out
with the "deader'' baseball last
spring.
The new sphere. with q slightly

showed the game in the majors
back to the hitless wonder days.
An examination Of batting aver
ages for July % a year ago and

the "deader" hall has made good In
a big way, notably in the Nation

The comparison shows that 20
date, as compared with a year ago.
the team batting average for each
club in the National league has
been reduced TO an average Of ~
points while 256 less homer, an
average OF 80 q club, have been hit.
The difference is far less. yet no
ticeable, in the American league.
The team batting marks in the
junior circuit have dropped on an
average OF Tia points per team.
while the home run crop is ~ less
than a year ago at this time.
St. Louis and Boston Of the
American league are the only ex-
ceptions but both Of those clubs
have stronger clubs In the field
than a year ago extensively. A year
ago, the Browns, as a team, were
hitting at a -261 clip as compared
with today's unofficial average Of
PTS. Last year at this time, the
Red Sox were hitting .265: today
they were hitting .2T3. The Red
Sox have the same number Of
home runs as a year ago while the
Browns have nine more.

THESE WARM afternoons and
evenings must be peaches and cream

from the Valley league batting
records. The twirlers have their
last ones hopping like a flea in an

bad for an old nan who went 10

with Rogers Hornsby.
THE LEAGUE season will close
shortly on what has not been a
successful year. Every team IN the
circuit is taking a loss. However,.
this by no means proves the Valley

Conferences between the oficial Dis

Conferences between the official Dis
trict Sign Committee and representa-
tives Of the three outdoor advertising
concerns responsible for 1878 signs and
billboards on Washington'S streets have
reached a point of Compromise which
some of the groups that fought for
regulatory legislation enacted in Con-
gress last March regarded today as
detrimental to the best interests Of the
public.
In exchange for the removal of "a
large billboards and wall signs held to
have been Illegally erected and main
tanned within the District, 1t was
learned today, the Sign Committee
proposes TO let the advertising COM
panies retain for commercial exploita-
ton 200 signs of the same size whose
legality is classified officially as doubt
full" A further concession" for this
favor, made a part of the barter, pro-
vides that the billboard people agree to
remove within a three-year period SO
of the large signs from residential
zones and sections coming within the
scope of the Shipstead act protecting
public buildings and parks, TheSe
hitter signs, the proposal reads, would
include those duly authorized as well
as the doubtful" ones in the designated
areas.
While the replies Of the billboard
managers have not yet been received
or made public, 1t was inconceivable
to sponsors of the anti-billboard cam
paign that the companies would refuse
such lenient terms, especially in view
of the fact that the proposed billboard
regulations would give them the right
to repair or rebuild existing author
lied billboards, under certain restric-
IT..
deprecated in replacement value.
Conditions Apply Otherwise.
The same conditions apply to the
retention Of questionably legal signs
of the 4x8-foot type in the proposal
which Mai Donald A. Dawson, chair
man of the Sign Committee, has made
formally to the billboard companies.
With respect to all unauthorized signs.
the companies would be given so days
in which to take them down.
The three-year period for signs with
in residential and Shipstead zones
per cent of the signs and billboards
to be removed within the first year, 80
per cent within the second year and
80 per cent within the third year. Each
company has been supplied with a
classified list of all advertising units
for which they are held responsible, a
list which has virtually been agreed
upon between the Sign Committee and
the billboard representatives after ex-
haustive checking and rechecking.
Upon the companies agreeing to the
aforementioned conditions, Maj. Davi-
: sion notified them that the Sign Com
mittee will proceed at once to prepare
the authorized list of billboards and
wall signs referred to in section 10 of
the proposed sign regulations, and will
recommend to the Commissioners that
outdoor advertising companies be per-
mitted to repair and maintain all
boards and wall signs included in such
list, subject to the provisions Of section
