CUBS BACK IN
 TOP POSITION
 AS CARDS LOSE
Two Players Put Out of Game Small Sized
 Riot Over Play

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 12.-Short- stop Leo Durocher and Coach Buzz Wares were put out of the game yesterday afternoon as the climax to a bitter argument as the St. Louis Cardinals lost the National League lead to the Chicago Cubs, 6 to 4, ten innings.
 The dispute involved a play at second base and when Durocher and Wares insisted on continuing the argument they were banished from the game.
 The Cards answer came from the dugout in an avalanche of bats, balls and other equipment that delayed the game for several minutes.

SPORT SLAN1S

A lanky bashful youth from the Midwest who chose Louisiana State University for his schooling and golfing grounds suddenly has pro- jected himself into the ranks of favoriteS to win the national anna teur golf crown given up by Law son Little when he turned pro- feSSional
 The latest sensation among the simon-pures is young Paul Leslie of Jefferson City, Mo, winner of the recent western amateur at Omaha shortly after he finished the na- tional intercollegiate as runnerup to Chuck Kocsis of the University of Michigan.
 Considering that he's compara- tive newcomer in the top flights of golf, young Leslie has been trying for quite awhile. AS a fledgling he made a fair show in the western at EOklamoma City two summers ago et7
 and then blewafup completely on the dusty terrain of the Oklahoma capitals Twin Hills course.
 Yates Won Tn '35
 In the western at Colorado Spring last year, Leslie was among the favorites, but he was busted and young Charlie Yates of Atlanta went on to win the title that had been taken the year before by zell Eaton, the slim young pro from Oklahoma City, who was competing then as an amateur, of course.
 AS a high school boy in Jeffer- son City, Leslie played on the coun- try club course where Horton Smith was pro for shore time before he became the youthful sensation of the golfing world six or eight years ago.
 Young Paul was attending com bination high school and junior college at the time. and, although he was in the prep department, he won both the interschoiaStic and junior college championships in the State schoolboy tournaments at the University of Missouri.
 The 9-hole golf layout maintain ed by his own State university was too easy for this young linksman, however, and when it came time for him to go to college and follow his fathers footsteps in the study of medicine he decided on Louis jana State, partly because the late Huey Long had provided very fancy golf course in Baton Rouge.
 Before he ever went to college, Leslie was a brief sensation in his home State golfing circles. He won the medal honor in the Missouri amateur when he was only Is years old.
 After going to Louisiana State, Leslie was oyershadowed somewhat by the expert craftsmanship of Freddie Haas, Jr., his teammate, but Paul won the Southern inter collegiate title in his freshman year and teamed with the other Bayou par-busters to win the

VETS E DEFEATED BY
 BY SCORE, 5-3

Douglas Islanders last evening clinched at least a tie for the second half honors in the Gas tineau Channel League baseball flag chase by handing cut to 3 beat ing to the Legion. Now it's up to the Moose to keep Juneau in the running, as last nights defeat sent the Legion down to jein the Elks | in the pit of the vanquished. To- night. barring skittishness by the weather, the Paps and the Veterans will tangle in what may well be he deciding contest of the season. A Moose defeat will hand both ends of the race to the Islanders.
 Claude Erskine started off last nights game for the Island lads in unbeatable form. Nine men fac ed him in the first three periods; six flaming, one flying out and two rolling to the infit.d. But in the fourth he let down and the Vet erans garnered two markers on single by Bud Foster and doubles by McAlister and Snow. An error put a Legionnaire on first in the fifth, but that was as far as he got.
 Circles Bags, Nearly
 Foster led off the sixth with a liner that Bonner lost in the dark and let by him to roll past the cars in right field, giving Foster plenty of time to circle the paths But mixup between coach and runner stopped him at third and before he got under way again to cross the plate the ball beat him in and he was tagged out-a super fine ,boner somewhere. Erskine fan ned the next two batters. The Vets were not, to be denied in the sev- enth, however, Snow tripled and came in on pinch-hitter Aliens double, with the last Legion count Ter.
 FBy Scores in First
 Douglas started scoring in the opening frame, chalking up one tally when Jensen singled, went to second on passed ball and came, in on Andrews double. John ny Niemi walked in the second, stole second and crossed the plate on tuyn ronra noccad halle Tp +ba third, Erskine hit a long fly to left that Hagerup tried to snare up against the fence but tipped over for a homer. Then the Legion started to boot the ball bit and two more Island runs came in on errors by Baldwin and Elliott. That ended the Douglas scoring with five runs. Two more Douglas threats

SEES 10 MILLIONS AS
YIELD OF SALES TAX

Commissioner of Revenue A. j.
Maxwell reports from Raleigh that
revenue receipts to date indicated
sales tax collections for the current
fiscal year, the first year in which
the levy has been applied to food
and meals will pproxim t e
$1O,00O,OOO.
He said there might be 100000
differential either way. The $10,-
10000 figure was the final estimate
of the yield before the tax was voted
by the 1885 General Assembly.
The latest report, as of May %,
showed the exemptionless tax had
yielded $9,29O,O97.43, as compared
with $6,992, 5O9.83 for the correspond
ing period year ago, when feed
was exempt and the tax did not ap-
ply to meals.

BIG MEN DIE MORE
EASILY THAN SMALL

The gas execution of diminuative
Marvin Batten, 29-year-old johnson
county farmer who said he wanted
to die, took four minutes longer Fri
day than any of the five previous
asphyxiations at the State penitenti-
airy in Raleigh.
Batten murdered Mrs. LYDIA
Daughtry, Selma divorce, Deem
Der Is, 1885. He was sentenced on
March Is, 1886, and once was re-
proved while alienists investigated
his sanity.
1t was Is minutes and 10 seconds
before the 12O-pound farmer was
pronounced dead by the three ply
sicians who alternated at the stet-
oscope. The previous record was II
minutes.
''The bigger they are, the quicker
they co." Warden H. H. Honeycutt
said after the execution. ED Jen-
kins, executed last January 81 by
gas, weighed $50 pounds. He was
sent to oblivion in nine seconds and
pronounced dead in seven and a
half minutes"
Batten entered the death chamber
at 1887 a. m. He was wearing white
trunks. His black hair was neatly
combed. On his left hand was ring
he said the woman he killed had
given him.
The gas was turned on at 10:40
a. M, Batten, who once said he want
ed to die so that he could meet Mrs.
Daughtry in heaven, had his eyes
closed and his lips moved, apparent
1y in prayer.
Within 80 seconds, he mouth and
his eyelids opened. Prison officials
said they believed he had lost con-
seriousness at that time.
