BY United Press

The Los Angeles Angels retained
first place in the coast league
standings today but the San Fran
cisco Seals. whom they removed
from the top, at least had the sat-
isfaction OF handing Frank Shell
lenback a licking.
The spitball marvel of the Holly
wood Stars dropped his second
game Of the season TO the Seals
last night by q score of 9 to 8. 1t
might be mentioned that the Seals
were almost as surprised as wSs
Shellenback. Heavy hitting by
Dana. Frazier and Crosetti ac-
counted for Shellenback's downfall.
The Angels kept pace by another
victory over the tail end Mission
Reds, this time by a score of 3 to
4. 1t was the fourth straight for
the Seraphs in this series.
The Seattle Indians now hold the
upper hand in their see-saw bat
tie for position with the Portland
Beavers. The Redmen won last
night, 4 to ?, and hoped into third
place.

Spain Removes
Regal Relics

MADRID, Aug. 8. U.P)-Many re-
gal relics of the monarchy have
been removed from the palace OF
the "Congreso de los Diputados"
where the Cortes Constituencies is
in session, yet others remain.
The big statue Of Isabel II, which
was in the conference room, has
been removed, even though it was
Isabel herself who ordered the
building of the palace now used to
draw UP Republican constitution
in. She was the grandmother Of
Don Alfonso XIII.
But the statutes of Their Most
Catholic Majesties Ferdinand and
Isabella, who laid the foundation
for united Spain, look down upon
the deputies as they discuss the
constitution for the nation. And
the mace bearers, on both sides of
the presidential rostrum. still wear
the red velvet jackets and other re-
gala with the insignias of the
Kingdoms Of Castillo and Leon
exactly as a macebearers dressed in
the 18th century, when Isabella
ruled.

NEW YORK, Aug. g. (UP)-1n-
stead OF the anticipated siX-team
race, the National League campaign
has developed into a victory march
for the st. Louis Cardinals. who
now appear likely TO pile up the
largest lead by which any team has
won the senior league pennant i'll
recent years.
With their CHIEF rivals. Chicago
New York and Brooklyn, faltering
badly. and the Boston Braves and
Pittsburgh Pirates never having
been an important factor in the
race, the Cardinals now hold an
eight-game advantage over the
field. The Cards still have 48
games to play and have an excel
lent chance of bettering the l0i3
game margin by which Chicago wen
the pennant in l929-the only time
during the past decade that the
National League champions have
held q big advantage over their RI
walls.
The Cardinals increased their ad-
vantage by a full game yesterday,
defeating the second-place Chicago
Cubs. 8 10 0, while the other, first
division clubs, New York and
Brooklyn. were losing to Philadel-
phia and Boston, respectively.
Burleigh Crime. let Chicago
down with 7 hits in scoring his l4th
victory Of the season, while his
mates pounded four Chicago pitch
ers for II hits.
The New York Giants pounded
Phil Collins for Is hits but were
with men on base and
were defeated, l3 to 5.

Boston with three hits for eight in
nings but weakened in the ninth
and retired after the Braves scored

9 10 3. Kremer went the
route for Pittsburgh, coasting to \

Dixie lasssd one roand and a

from damaging blows. That Is
they would have been damaging
Eom any other fightsy but Dixie,
and Johnny wouldn't have been
dodging them that way in that case.
Dixie was horribly slow and hCc-
ribly weak with his punching.
The show was resumed il the sec

too were tired of the lodging b.

first but it wore out. So Johnng
slapped down the New Orleans Vet
