tack of revolutionary forces in a

ter.

day after unsuccessful attacks had
been made here and at Guaymas,
five miles from Tela, the night be-
fore. More than a score of rebels
and a smaller number of loyalistS
were killed in the earlier engage
mentS, but the casualties were
heavier with resumption of fighting
at Chameleon.
The first night attack on Chamele-
con, regarded as key city on the
road to the flourishing city of San
Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa, lasted
three hours. Rebel troops under
command of General Justi Umana
made repeated advances toward the
federal defense forces, but were
turned back each time and finally
forced to retire about midnight.
The government troops under
Colonel Alfredo Reina suffered
some casualties and reported the
fighting very severe"

ported to have approached Rex Bell,
close friend of the actress, with a
proposition to buy Girnau's paper
for S25 900 with the understanding
that the articles about Miss Bow

He said the motive for fraud was lacking in the case.
 The Governments counsel said the whole history of the companies was a continuous effort to conceal deficits from the stockholders by misrepresentations.

 Two singles, a sacrifice, walk and an error gave the Cards two runs in the first inning. Highs single and Watkins's homerun drive sent over what eventually proved to be the winning scores in the third frame. Pepper Martin was again held hitless, but stole base after he was walked purposely in the first frame.
 First in Five Years
 This is the first Worlds Series title that has gone to National League team since 1926. The Cards won in that year, beating the New York Yankees although tt took seven games, as it did this year, to decide the issue. : After the third inning today Earnshaw turned the Cardinals back without a single hit, but the damage done in the first and third frames could not be wiped out. Big George was taken out in the eighth for pinch hitter and Rube Walberg pitched the eighth inning for the Athletics. High found him for single.
 Cards on Their Toes
 The Red Birds played heads up ball on the offensive in the first inning today and, getting the breaks, took advantage of them effectively. That and Watkins's four base blow in the third. behind some great pitching by the veteran spitballer. Grimes, gave them the edge on the Mackmen
 ! High opened the Cards half of the first with a single to short right center Watkins slashed out single to left, advancing him to second. Frisch laid down a perfect bunt along third base line, for sacrifice, and both runners moved up notch.

Many Democratic editors of the country, according to a poll re- gently made, favor Newton D. Baker for president of the United States, but believe that Franklin D. Roose- welt will be the standard bearer. This is significant expression. The country press has it's ear closest to the ground. Apparently, the opin- ion prevails that the New York gov- ernor is virtually assured of the nomination, as he lacks but a small margin of votes to command a two thirds following in the convention. Tn case of compromise, it is equal ly significant that Baker is the pop ular choice, and even today, is much more than a Democratic dark horse
