 Maybe Mister Kipling wasn't thinking about baseball when he penned those lines about never the twain shall meet, but if he was. he forgot to reckon with what Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics and Gabby Streets St Louis Cardinals probably will do about the 1931 American and National League
 Widening the Gap
 Those As, gathering momen- tum as they go, are having lots of fun with their seven game advan- tage over Washington in tho Amer ican League and the Cardinals have played the part of champions m building up a six contest lead in the National.
 Even should the Athletics and Cardinals falter, the east and west probably still would meet on Mis- ter Kipling's forbidden ground. For the Senators or Yankees are something like no to shots to capture the American League pen nant if Philadelphia doesn't and the rough going that New York and Brooklyn is finding in the west indicates that the Chicago Cubs are the best bet outside of St Louis for the honors in the senior circuit.
 Another ShutOut
 St Louis made it's lead n little safer yesterday with a 5 to O vic- tory over the Robins. Bill Halln- han did the pitching and that was all that was necessary with Wat kins. Frisch. Collins and Hafey at- tending to the hitting.
 Chicago beat the Giants for the third time in a row, s to 2, and ad- vanced to second place, New York dropping to third a half q contest ahead of Brooklyn. old Clarence Mitchell's left handed spitters didn't baffle the Cubs much but Charley Root had the Giants cat ing out of his hand all the way.
 That old seasoned campaigner. Rabbit Maranvillc. backed Bruce Cunningham's five hit pitching with some brilliant fielding and the combination brought the Boston Braves a 2 to 0 victory over Cin- cinnati.
 Pittsburgh and Philadelphia spent the afternoon knocking baSe- balls to all corners of Forbes field. but the Pirates blows came oftener and they hung up 12 to s vic- tory. It was "ittsburgh's fourth straight over the futile PhillIc8.
 The Athletics showed their col OTIS with g. 5 to 2 decision over De- trOit and insulted the Tigers again by keeping their big thrce-Earn- shAw, Grove and Walbcrg--under cover. Mahaffcy did the pitching and Just 10 make sure of his job also did some hitting, the latter in tho form of q home run.
 Washington pulled one out of tho fire by staging a three-run up- rising in the ninth to nose out Chicago { to 1. The teams were schcdulcd for two games, but the White Sox didn't mind when tho second game was called off be- cause of rain,
 Walking Around
 When the Yankee pitchers weren't throwing base hits. they wore issuing bases on balls so Cleveland won from New York, 9 10 8. The Indians received II free tickets to first and rappcd out II safe hits.
 The Boston Red Sox ran into Sam Gray, St Louis Browns hurlcr when he was right, and dropped Il to 1 verdict. Gray allowed only Ave hits. The Browns gathered three more and did q good job of punching them.

New York, July 17--CUP)-The Washington Athletic clubs lone woman swimming team"--Miss Helene Madison--today held g. i've point lead over its nearest competi- tor in the race for the team title of the annual national A. A. U. swimming and diving champion ships for women.
 The point total of the Washing ton organization was increased to Is last night when Miss Madison successfully defended her 440-yard free style cham pionship. It marked the Seattle speedster's third victory since the meet began Wednesday night.

Holm of New York retained her laurels in the 200-yard back stroke whtle Miss Georgia Coleman again captured the high diving crown.

U. S., BRITISH
LEADERS CARRY
PLEA To BERLIN
Arms Limitation Object of
Conversations With
German Officials.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press stan Correspondent

BERLIN, July 27.-Secretary of
State Henry L. Stimson expected to-
day TO continue conversations with
members of the German govern
nent begun over the weekend.
Chancellor Heinrich Bruening and
DR.. julius Curtius, his foreign min
lister, however, are hosts to Premier
J. Ramsay Macdonald and Arthur
Henderson, for informal converse
tons on arms limitation.
The possibility that Secretary
Stimson might join them in their
conversations was seen in authori-
tative quarters.
Henderson arrived early for the
conversations. Macdonald was due
later in the day. They are return
ing the recent visit to chequers Of
Bruening and Curtius.
Stimson and Ambassador Fred
eric M. Sackett we're informal guests
of Bruening and Curtius over the
weekend. They went sightseeing
Sunday out to the historic palaces
and gardens of San Souci at Pots
dam, a Berlin suburb.
In these pleasant surroundings,
Secretary Stimson was said to have
talked arms limitation with the
German government chiefs. 1t was
understood Stimson referred ex-
pressly to the German pocket bat
tleShip" series.
StimSon was said to have urged
William Groener, defense minister,
that Germany agree to some altera-
ton of present plans. Groener was
reported to have explained carefully,
but definitely, the German objec-
lions to FORGETTING even a little of
the rights she gained under the
Versailles treaty.
Furthermore, Groener said such
move might antagonize President
Paul Won Hindenburg. Both Won
Hindenburg and the army and navy
are loyal beyond question to the
government now, but such move,
he insisted, possibly would cause a
breach, no matter how small at the
outset.

JUST BEGINNING
TO FIGHT SAYS
ALFALFA BILL
0kIahoma-Tex Bridge
War Suspension Is Brief;
Troops Feted.
BY VERNON MCGEE
United Press stan Correspondent

DURANT, Okla, July 27-While
his troops feasted on watermelons
and cantaloupes, Governor William
Alfalfa Bill' Murray declared today
he was "just beginning to fight" in
the battle of the Red river bridges"
which everybody else thought was
ended.
This is no longer question of
opening free bridge--or Of keeping
a toll bridge closed" Murray said,
but Is rather a fight for state
rights-and watch me fight"
Chances for Murray's possible ar
rest for contempt of court faded to-
day as United States Marshal
Clark WATSON returned to Muskogee
and said he could arrest the COVER
nor only on order of Judge Colin
Neblett, who Saturday granted an
injunction prohibiting interference
by guardsmen.
Injunction Violated?
Neblett meantime has returned to
New Mexico and will not be in
Muskogee until Aug. 4, when hear
ing on the injunction suit is held.
The entire bridge controversy
seemed to be narrowed today to the
question Of whether Murray violated
the injunction issued at Muskogee
Saturday.
The injunction forbade interior
ence of traffic over the toll bridge,
which Murray closed ten days ago.
Murray assumed charge of the
guardsmen late Saturday after the
lifting of an injunction at Houston,
Tex, which prohibited the free
bridge to be used.
Backing up his assertion that the
war was ''just starting" Murray
made the situation a gala affair.
Sunday he reviewed his thirty-two
guardsmen, threw the war zone
open to the public, and shook hands
with Oklahomans and Texans for
several hours.
Troops on Guard
When the toll bridge company's
injunction preventing opening of the
free bridge was dissolved Saturday,
everyone believed this would end
the ten-day controversy, for, with
the free bridge open, all traffic used
1t in preference to the pay span.
But when the toll company OBJ
tanned the injunction against inter
ference with its bridge, Murray de-
termined to make an issue of tho
matter, and continued to use troops
to blockade the bridge. Texas
rangers, who Governor Ross Ster-
ling had sent to see that the free
bridge was not opened Illegally"
were withdrawn.
The Governor contends the fed
eral injunction is a violation of
state rights as set forth in the
eleventh amendment to the Consti-
tuition.
