BALLOON TRIP
MEETS DELAY

RAPID CITY, S. D., July l2. U.P)
Delay of the stratosphere flight of
the balloon Explorer" until Satur-
day appeared certain today.
Major William E. Kepner, pilot,
announced during the night weather
maps indicated unfavorable condi-
tionS during the next SO hours.
Difficulties in adjustment of sci
entific instruments and question
of whether three, instead OF two,
men should make the flight were
understood to have arisen.
Generators which had been start
ed to prepare liquid oxygen for use
of the balloonisis in their ascension
were turned off.
Eighteen hours are required to
generate sufficient oxygen. The ball
loonists are anxious that this be
done at the last possible moment,
since the liquid oxygen deteriorates
rapidly.
The personnel question involved
was understood to be whether Capt.
Orvil Anderson, veteran pilot and
navigator, should be added to the
crew for the flight. Both Major
Kepner and Capt. Stevens were IA
vcrable to having Capt. Anderson
accompany them.

BOARD KEEPS
CLOSE WATCH
UPON STRIKERS

WASHINGTON. July 10. U.P)-
Full powers and prestige of the new
national labor relations board were
being exerted today through local
Intermediates in hope of prevent
ing calamitouS strike developments
at Minneapolis and on the Pacific
coast.
The board. confronted with two
serious crises which threatened to
tie up the food supply of 100000
persons, was maintaining constant
communication with q special ar
bitration board on the Pacific
coast and mediatorS at Minneapo-
lis.
Direct action by the new board
was considered unlikely. at least
until after a weekend conference
with 20 district mediation board
heads who have been called here
to discuss the national situation.
With new strikes Springing up
overnight, the board was expected
to seek to coordinate its media
tion efforts.

Charles CGet-Rieh-QuicH Ponzi
for a full pardon.
Ponzi told the governor that
about IA years ago, "using very
poor judgment, got into activities

He told how he was prosecuted
III the federal courts and sentenced
to prison. At one time. he said,
he was approached with the sug-
geStion that if he would leave the
country the indictments would be
mol pressed but refused and the re-
suit was that deportation proceed
ings were started Immediately.
After all I've been punished
enough. I went looking for trouble
and found it, he said.
Ponzi, whose "quick riches !"
scheme of 1920 involved s8,000,000
to S14,000,000, had hopes to gain
full pardon. which would enable
him to remain in this country.

TRADE CODE

II. A Harris and P. A. Murray
spoke on the building trade code at
Ilast nights El Centre Chamber OF
commerce dinner. the first evening
meeting of the summer. Harris
brought TO the attention of his au-
.dience a section of the code which
|provides that q contractor must be
employed If carpentry work lasting
more than four hours is done. This,
The speaker stated, would necessi-
tate the hiring of contractor and
journeyman carpenter for any work
which would take longer than four
hours and would increase the cost
pf small carpentry jobs and repair
work, thus cutting down home i'm
brovementS and similar work neces-
barry in progressive community.
Harris contended that, with the
coming OF the All-American Canal

nothing should be done which would
interfere with this growth and pro-
kress. The code, he explained has
klready gone into effect here and
pas been sent to Washington where.

become law.
Murray read some of the sections

ision was not designed to give two

hserted for the protection of the

Neither of whom is protected by in
ustrial insurance unless there is a
Contractor on the job. Under the
rovision that contractor must be
ired for any work over four hours,
Murray stated, both the owner OF
roperty and the journeyman are
rotected by the industrial insurance

lw, must carry.
Under the provisions of the newly

sed by the Associated Chambers

CUP ACES
NEAR FINALS
BY DANNY GILL

Although the field in the
Chevy Chase Invitation Doubles
Tennis Tournament is not the best
to have competed in the annual
event, the final this afternoon
will leave little to be desired.
For unless something equally
as shocking as an earthquake
should occur, the finals will bring
together John Van Ryn and
Wilmer Allison, Davis Cup
doubles heroes on the one side,
and Frank K. Shields, the
number one player of the coun-
try and the California comet,
Lester r. Stoefen, as their op-
ponent.
Beat Local Pair
Both sides rode through their
two early rounds yesterday with
comparative ease, the Shields
Stoefen combination being pressed
a bit more in that they had to
meet the fine Washington veteran
team of Clarence Charest and
Tom Mangan, which carried the
match to 81, IS.
Castle and Williams proved easy
for the young giants, who trounced
them, 60, 60.
Defeat Baltimoreans
Allison and Van Ryn downed
the Baltimore team of Goldsbor-
ough and Magee, 81, 60, after
having trimmed Del-Amo and Gar
nett, 60, 60.
In the semifinals Shields and
Stoefen are to meet Watson Wash
burn and Dean Mathey, while Al
lison and Van Ryn will have to
await the outcome Of the Roberts
and Beardsley-Major and Herndon
match for their opponents.

AUKER'S CURVE
UNUSUAL

Looking around among the
American League pitching new
comers one might see something
of exceptional merit in half a
dozen or more of the newer schools
Of hurting. At the moment some
of the young blood is being treated
and toned up for big years ahead.
There is Elden Auker, who has
pitched about so professional
games Of ball. Out in Detroit
they are spending hours trying to
perfect this mound mechanic in
his pitching. for the veteran
pitchers and catchers saw in
Auker a mound operator with
equipment different than that OF
the average pitcher.
A rarity in pitching devices Is
employed by Auker, though he has
not perfected it. It is a curve
ball that break up instead OF
down, as most curve balls do.
There is much work in the bull
pen and on the pitching hill for
Auker, but he will come along be-
cause his motion IS unusual,
which helps BATTLE the batter.

GR|FFS SEEK
WIN STREAK
IN SERIES
By GARRETT WATERS
A breathing spell

"A DTedC111uS SPSA
Well, maybe. But the GriffS
would rather answer this question
after the series has ended.
We're speaking Of none other
than the Chicago White Sox, the
Fonseca-managed crew which lum.
bers itself into Griffith Stadium
tomorrow to begin a four-game
series.
So far this spring, the White
Sox haven't Jared so well. The
batters haven't been able to de-
liver as they should, while the
teams pitching has been terribly
off.
Flirt With Cellar
AS a result, the Windy-citians
are flirting with the cellar berth
50 closely these days it's hardly
moment when they're not
actually feeling the atmosphere
of the place.
The Griffs, noting this, hope to
cash in with two or three victories
before their foes depart for other
sections of the circuit.
The Sox were supposed to be
materially strengthened by the
presence of George Earnshaw
this year-the pitcher who was
purchased from the Philadelphia
AS during the winter for $4,000
but to date, the big fellow
hasn't been any stronger than
his brother hurlers. But Mana
ger Fonseca believes he'll start
winning, if given a little more
time.
Excluding Earnshaw the re-
mainder of the SoX team proper"
is about the same as that which
worked for Manager Lew F'onseca
last year. Zeke Bonura, first
baseman, purchased from the
Texas League, is one new mem
ber making good with a ven
geance because Of his batting pro-
pensities, while a couple of young
outfielders named Uhalt and Bor-
dagary, ar others who have
broken into the lineup at times
as substitutes for ailing regulars.

base, Jackie Hayes, at second,

Simmons, Mule Haas and Evar
Swanson, In the outfield, while
the pitching staff names Ted
Lyons, Mflt CASTOR, Sad Sam
Jones, Ed Durham, Joe Heving,
Whitley Wyatt and Paul Gregory,
besides EarnShaW.
Melvin Shea, Muddy Ruel and
Johnny Pasek form the catching
department. Shea, another new
face, came to the Sox from the
st. Louis Browns in a trade for
Frank CRUDE, while Ruel and
Pasek were picked up as free
agents during the winter months.

MANY FANS

Interest in the Detroit Tigers
this year is better than at any
time since 1929. The weather has
not been the type to draw out
rooters, but those who have been
supporting the early season spurt
of the Detroit team have been en-
thusiastic and encouraging. Some
improvement was reported in St.
Louis and Chicago attendanceS.
Boston, of course, is playing to
the big crowds this year. The
Yankees are headed for q pros
porous season at the gate. Boston
has played to more than $50 200.
Eddie Collins has said he wished
he had double-decked the stands
as a workman suggested, but he
never dreamed that the fan inter
est was so keen in the New Eng.
land sector. When the work OF
rebuilding the plant was under
taken it was thought that the
team would not be strong enough
to attract the old time crowds.
