WARRIORS BEAT
 BILLS, FIVE TO THREE, SUNDAY
Erskine and Junge Stage Pretty Duel, Latter Win
 ming on Bunched Hits

By defeating the Elks Sunday 5 to in one of the prettiest games of. the year, the American Legion continued its march toward the second half championship. Rain, starting just before the time for which the game was set, kept down the attendance which was the smallest of any Sunday this year, but those who braved the elements got lot of baseball for their mon- ey.
 It was a battle between Junge, Vet hurler, and Erskine, Elks' star, from the first to the last inning. Each man yielded II hits. including two triples and two two-baggers. They were both given fine sup port and the few errors made didn't prove expensive.
 Misjudgcd Fly Did But a misjudged fly ball was costly to the Bills. It was respon- sible for two scores and that was the margin by which the Warriors won.
 Both teams did all their run- getting in the fifth canto. Up to that time each had few runners aboard the runways but neither could crash through the others de- fense for tally.
 In the first of the fifth, with one hand down, Little Mac shot liner through first to the right field wall for a triple. aJernberg scored him with hot single through second. Livingston tripled over Stedman's head in center, Bob counting. And Curley ambled home when Garn bounced one over the fence back of left for a two-bagger.
 Warriors Rally Too
 These three scores looked as big as house in view of the way Erskine had been turning back the Warrior sluggers. The Vets, how ever, were not to be denied. The first two men were easy outs, Rol- Ter popping out to Garn and Sted- man flaming.
 Then the wrecking crew of the Legion ran amok. Worth poked out a short fly to right for a sin gle. Rustad duplicated the blow

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Aug 5.-(UP)-The en- tire wool trade of Boston was closed to-day in anticipation of a wool code under the MIRA and in line with the 4O-hour week called for under the presidents reemploy- ment agreement.
 The special committee of Boston wool merchants appointed week ago to draft a code has submitted It's report to the trade throughout the nation. The code provides for 0 40-hour week or, in times of stress, 8 40-hour average week, and a $15 weekly minimum wage. Leaders of the trade estimate that to do business under the new code will mean an, increase of 15 per cent in operating costs.
 After to-day complete closing on Saturdays Is optional, but the 40- hour average week must be ob. served.
 Prevailing prices here to-day are: Ohio delaine fine combing, 31-32 cents, grease basis; h blood, 32-33 cents; and E and 4 blood, 35-36.
 The U. s. Agriculture depart ment report said: Wool sold very slowly during the past week but prices were mostly very firm. In- quiries were more numerous on scattered lines, particularly on me- dium quality feeces and on fine western grown wools. This broad. CT interest, however, was received by a relatively small number of houses and in most cases did not result in Q material increase in vol ume of sales. Sentiment reflected confidence despite the slow de- mand for wool"

EMPLOYERS ARE
 CONTINUING TO SIGN PLEDGES
Already 25,524 in New England Have Put Their Names to the NRA Agreements

Boston, Aug 5-CUP)-New England employers to the lumber of 25,524 have signed MIRA agree ments thus far. with total of 390,S01 employees affected. This an- nouncement came from District Director Hugh M. Butler. after yesterday had produced 747S new signatures, representing 5S,2S4 workers-the record for single day to date.
 Consumer pressure" to assist stores cooperating in the movement was urged yesterday by Miss Mar garet Wiesman, a member of the Massachusetts MIRA board. "The MIRA is a challenge to fair play" she said. Tt means that the sweat-shop has no right to exist. But neither employer nor employe alone can put this movement over. The consumer must do his or her share. The duty of the consumer is plain. He is a member of the grand jury which must decide final. ly whether the movement will suc- ceed or fail"
