CHICAGO CUBS
SET RECORD
FOR SEASON
BY henry SUPER

United Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. - a 1888
major league record, IS consecutive
victories was inscribed in baseball's
record books today by the Chicago
Cubs
Charley Grimm's KID team shat
tered The l4-straieht mark set IN
July by the st. Louis Cardinals
when they whipped The New YORK
Giants yesterday for the third time
in as many starts. The Cubs now
beast the longest streak in their
league since 1929 when Brooklyn
won IS. The defeat marked the viz
tual passing OF the Giants from the
National League picture-the sec
ond successive time theE have been
knocked out Of the pennant race in
September.
The modern record of IS straight
victories. established by the Giants
in 1916, is beyond the Cubs grasp
because they have only eight games
to play. But, in turn, their new
record practically is beyond the

team as far as 1885 is concerned.
Barring & complete breakdown
in the next week and a half. the
Cubs are the likeliest team to OPP
pose Detroit in the world series.
Although only 21a games ahead Of
St. Louis, the Cubs have an easier
path toward the pennant because
they have won more and have few
er left to play than the world cham
pionS.
Root Is Winner
The Cubs have only eight games
left-fiVe of them with ST. Louis.
If they win only four more, the
Cards will have TO take eight OF
their remaining ii to tie and nine
TO win. The Giants, 6l2 games be-
hind Chicago, need "a OF Is to tie,
and Is to win.
Charley Root, 35-year-old right
hander who won only four 1884
games, pitched the Cubs to their
record IS the GianJ5 were defeated,

Mrs Brannan smiled "Of course
not, Kay. Listen now" And she
read calmly on:
But I started to tell you about
Helen. She went away over a week
end and she had signed to stay with
Mrs. Morton, in town: but she and
another girl and two men got caught
in a liquor raid at a place down on
the shore. She was with Bob Dakin.
He's a young doctor and terribly wild
and always getting his name in the
papers, and SO there were reporters
in court when the case came up, and
one of them knew Helen. She gave a
false name; but this reporter, knowing
her. the whole thing came out in the
papers. Who she was and everything.
so Student Government had to do
something about it. When I talked
with her she was pretty rebellious and
defiant. Then Dane saw the story in
the New York papers and came over
to try to straighten things out. 1t
seemed to me Helen ought to face the
music and I had to tell him so. At
first he was furious at me, and he
went to Dean Wills. but, Of course,
the dean said Student Government
would have to handle it; and she
wouldn't interfere. So we decided
Helen would have to leave college, but
that she could come back as a fresh
man next year. So she'll be in your
class, Kay. After it was all settled
she was peach about it. think it
will be a good thing for her; and Dane
does, too, now. We came to know
each other pretty well, he and I. One

on the lake, and he told me about
Paris, and all the places he's seen.
He's been all over the world. He's
coming up to New Hampshire this
Summer and wants to visit us for a
while. I know the extra work will
be hard on you, Mother; but I know
you'll like him, so I told him he could
come.

gram. I hope you can come down
Saturday and stay right through"
Kay, reading over her mothers

commencement. She sat thinking
about him before she went ont"

which Kay had brought back from the
post Office today contained news al
most sensational in its implications.
Before opening the letter, Kay and
her mother went into the living room
that was the heart of the house. Mrs.
Brannan had mislaid her glasses, and
Kay found thel.. for her, beside the
sink in the kitchen. When she re-
turned Mrs. Brannan adjusted the
glasses and carefully tore of the end
of the envelope and began to read the
letter aloud. Kay leaned over the
chair back, her own eyes following her
mothers along the neatly written
lines.
Emily began with newc of her work,
which they read attentively and
proudly. But when these matters
were disposed Of she went on: Some
thing rather difficult came up before
Student Government this last week.
There's girl named Helen Ripley in
the freshman class. ! can't help liking

"She's in love with him!" Kay cried.
II know she is. I have a feeling.
Mother, do you realize this is the very
/ first time Emily has ever mentioned
any man? She's so quiet and reserved
that when she says as much as this
it means lot. Do you suppose they'll
| live in New York? I'll bet he's a
marvel if Emily likes him. And she
does, you can see that"
Mrs. Brannan chuckIed comfortably
Aren't you going pretty fast, Kay?
Reading so much into so little? After
all, it was just this business about his
sister that brought them together"
They went canoeing" Kay argued.
"And Emily never went canoeing with
a man in her life before. Or she never
told us if she did! Won't it be grand,
having him here?"
I'VE can manage to take care of
him, I'm sure" Mrs. Brannan assented
composedly.
"Of course we cant" Kay insisted
I'm crazy to meet him, Mother.
Aren't you? I'll bet he's wild about
her! Emily's such a peach!" Her voice
was suddenly husky; and she said
slowly, "She's so darned nice and
straightforward and pretty and de-
cent. II she doesn't get the best there
is, there's something wrong with the
world"
"Emily's a fine girl" Mrs. Brannan
said, a little wearily. She sat with
the letter in her lap. looking out of
the window across the wide lawns to-
ward the road
Kay suddenly laughed. half to her
self. II saw George uptown" she
remembered mirthfully. Poor old
George. His nose will be out Of joint

caught the older woman by the arm
and shook her affectionateiy. You
don't seem q bit excited. Motherl
Don't you realize that this is the first
time Emily has ever written as much
as that about a mani" She clenched
her fists. "If he isn't just the grandest
ever, I'll--I'll slap his face!"
And she cried: Maybe We'll see
him at commencement I'll bet he'll

come back to see Emily graduated"
And she laughed again, sympathetic
ally. George said he might 60 down
to commencement himself. He said
he suggested it to Emily and Emily
didn't answer; but, Of course. I told
him she'd be glad to see him"
who else did you see uptown"
Mrs. Brannan asked in mild interest.
"Oh, everybody" Kay assured her.
Evening star., 1935-12-16

"Of course" Kay assented. She
added thoughtfully: I'm always a
little sorry for Lillian. / think she'd
like 30 be somewhere else or doing
something else. I don't think she
likes teaching school. She's only a
little older than am, but she looks

"I met Lillian on the way to the post
ONCE. She told me Miss Farmer was
reSigning after this year. She thought
Emily would jump at the chance to
get that job. I thanked her, but can
you imagine Emily teaching school
here in Carvel? After doing so Won
derfully at Wellesley"
THAT was nice of Lillian" Mrs.
Brannan agreed.

"Oh, Of course not" Kay admitted.

we were there. hung all over with

more than it says about Dane Ripley.

Gentlemen. there must be some
mistake. These are not the
Washington pitchers.
It is taxing the credulity of Dis
trict fans entirely too much to
ask them to believe that the
Griffs won two shutout games
in three days. It's asking too
much for them to believe that
only three alien runners crossed
the local plate in 27-hold every
thing-in 20 innings.
But that's what the record
shows.
Earle Whitehill shut out the
Indians yesterday with three hits.
On Tuesday Buck Newsom shut
out the Tigers, and on Wednes-
day Ed Linke held the Tigers to
three runs, only one of them de-
served.
1t was Whitehills greatest game
of the season. He had good stuff
throughout, and as the shadows
heightened over the field, he
poured that ball through the
middle and over the corners in
ways that it couldn't be hit. 1t
was the Whitehill of old, and
small wonder that the Indians
bowed.
Incidentally, Whitehill cele-
brated an anniversary yesterday

Paying More Attention
to Cultural and
Social Need
By a Soviet Farmer Correspondent


By a Soviet Farmer Correspondent
Dear brothers, farmers Of capital
istic lands,
We, members of the collective
farm "SELO," of the village Har-
lovo, Krasnopoliansky Rayon, Sver-
dlovsk district of the Free Soviet
Land, send you our warmest and
heartiest greetings. Every day we
read in the papers about your life.
We hear it is very hard. Many
people are hungry and joblesS, in
the country as well as in the cities.
We also know that, however hard
it is for you, still you fight for the
overthrow of capitalistic oppression,
for your rights and a Workers Gov
eminent.
We should like to get into touch
with you, our class brothers. In
this letter we are telling you in
few words about our life and work.
We are free in our land, there are
no rich spiders to prey upon us,
nobody for whom we should have
to work, and who would command
us. For five years already we live
in collective association. We only
obey our own Board, chosen by us
from our own ranks.
We have read in the papers, that
in the United States there is
great drought and that the harvess
has been ruined this year. Thanks
to the bosses, living prices get high
er and higher, so that the workers
and farmers get poorer and poorer.
We in our land have gathered
very good harvest, and our life is
getting better, richer and happier
and more cultural.
Collective Farm Progresses
Our collective farm uniteS $50
families, and we have sown 1880
hectares. We have gathered 1885
metric tons grain. After the threSh-
ing was done, we have sent 1885
tons to the State elevators, and the
rest, 1850 tons in all, we have kept
for ourselves.
In our collective farm we are 60
ing to receive this year Il kilograms
grain per workday, not counting
vegetables, money and other pro-
duce. Here is an example what a
collective farmer can earn: One of
our shock workers, Gregory Sosnov-
sky, with his family of five have
worked already 300 workdays, and
to the end of the year they will
easily work some 400 days more.
For 1908 days they will receive 14.5
tons grain, not counting money and
vegetables and other farm produce,
tons in ALL Enough to feed the
Riddles, Ell?
Our farm also does some cattle
raising. We have a dairy with $50
COWS. We have 936 pigs, 102 sheep,
SO goats, 81 stud horses and 153
work horses. Except that, each
family has for their own individual
use COW and a calf, from four to
seven sheep, some pigs and poultry.
We get butter, eggs, milk and meat
in plenty from our farm, and all
the rest we are quite able to buy
and get everything directly from
the factories through our coop.
Cultural and Social Life
We are now occupied in organiz-
ing our cultural and social life,
