Blues Make It
Two Straight
Over HOOSierS
Indians Held to Five Hits
in 4-3 Fray; Ladies'
Game" Tonight.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

The Ihdians made it close in the
second of the series with the K. G.
Blues last night, but it was re-
peater for the KaWs, to 3, as the
Tribesmen were held to five hits by
Lena Stiles and Wiley Moore. Elliott,
Wright and Phil Gallivan toiled on
the local rubber.
1t marked the 18th time the Blues
have trounced the Redskins this sea-
son in 20 clashes.
The third OF the series will be
fought out tonight at 8:15 and it
will be a ladies night" affair. The
Kawtown athletes will make their
final indianapolis appearance to-
morrow night and Milwaukee will
invade Perry Stadium Sunday for
an afternoon double-header.
Two Runs in First
The Blues stepped off to two
run lead in the opening frame last
night when Sherlock muffed a dou-
BILE play ball, and the visitors never
were headed. They tailed again in
the fourth and fifth to raise their
run total to four.
The Indians chalked up two
markers in the fifth and one in the
eighth. -Four errors were charged
against the Blues, but the HooSiers
were not hitting well enough to
profit much by the visitors weak
defense.
However, the Kaws were in form
during the early innings and no
Indians reached base until after one
down in the fourth. Cooney got
the Tribes first hit in that stanza.
He collected two of the home mines
five blows. No extra base safeties
were made by the Redskins. For
the Blues, however, Breese smacked
double and Stumpf walloped a
triple.
Fine Chance in Eighth
The eighth inning looked encour-
aging from the home standpoint,
but hits in the clutch" we're lack
ing. Cooney reached first on an
error and Cotelle singled Stone
ham bounced out and Heath was
safe on miscue, Cooney scoring.
Heath stole second, but Bedore
popped out and Sherlock was tossed
out. That ended it for the I'M
happy Hoosiers. They were retired
in order in the ninth.
Seven Indians were left on base,
and in five of the stanzGs no Tribe
ster reached base. Sherlock made
a great stop and throw on Moore
in the sixth and in he second Stone
ham raced to the bleacher wall to
snare a long foul by Stiles.
The Redskins grew threatening
in the fifth, and after they got two
men over the plate, Stiles was re-
moved from the K. c. rubber and
big Moore went in and put on the
brakes.
Minneapolis won again at Toledo,
6 to 2, and increased its lead to
five games. st. Paul defeated Co.
lumbus in ten innings, II to 6, and
Milwaukee downed Louisville, 8 to
3. The Saints tailed six markers
in the tenth and the Red Birds took
a bad beating after coming from
behind to tie the score.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY
4CODE" IS SIGNED
"Practice Rules Set Up
Under Federal Trade
Board.

~ the Associated Press.
A code" for the wholesale tobacco
industry, the first of its kind since
N. r. AS collapse, was announced
yesterday by the Federal Trade Com
mission.
Technically, the agreement is known
as trade practice rules" and is sim
liar to those which have been issued
bv the commission since long before
N. r. A. Although liberalized some
what beyond past commission prac-
tices. it still was far from the elab-
crate regulations which linked retail,
wholesale and tobacco manufacturing
industries under the Blue Eagle.
The new agreement contains no
labor provisions. These may be at
tached later through petition to N.
r. A. and after approval by the
President. As "co-ordinator for in
dustrial production" George L. Berry
has been designated by President
Roosevelt to handle the labor sections.
Rules Voluntary.
Trade Commission rules covering
business practices do not require pres
idential approval. They are voluntary
in the sense that no member OF an
industry is required to sign, although
some of the rules may be enforceable
in the courts.
The new wholesale tobacco agree
ment. which the commission said was
adopted at a conference attended by
af 0E nnnf nf
$3.50 1000 industry with an annual
sales volume of $1,000, 900 900, has two
groups of rules.
The first covers unfair practices
under terms of the trade commission
act. Persistence in them will prompt
court action.
Disregard of the second group would
not constitute violation of statutory
law, but ARE considered by the in
dustry to be unethical, uneconomlcal
or otherwise Objectionable. These
are described as mot necessarily pun
ishable under law"
Loss Leaders Forbidden.
In the second category was rule,
termed new to commission practices,
forbidding loss leader" sales. These
are sales of some articles at loss
with the intention of attracting busi-
ness in other lines. officials conceded
court tests would be needed to insure
enforcement of this section.
The old N. r. A. tobacco codes per-
mitted fixing retail prices all along
the line and the regulation OF dis
counts. The retail tobacco code held
loss leaders illegal, and N. r. A. &C
tually fixed the retail price OF cigar
cites. No such regulation Is attempted
by the commission.
Some 20 industries, mostly compar-
atively small, now are negotiating for
Trade Commission codes. Officials
were doubtful that many industries
would seek labor provisions from N
r. A. Such provisions must include
the controverted section Ia, guaran-
teeing collective bargaining rights to
labor.
