YANKEES ON WAY
TOMORE RECORDS
Three Others at Least in
Sight to Go Along With
Two Already Set.
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

hoSOCldtcu EIcSS 0pOItS WIltcEs
IRON the looks of things. the
- fellows who keep the record
books are going to do a lot of
overtime work when this big
league base ball season ends trying
to catch up with those runaway
Yankees.
It's going to be a mans size job OF
revising to jot down the exploits OF
just about the greatest crew Of
record breakers the business has ever
known.
Not satisfied with the dozen or so
marks they've already shattered as a
team and other various individuals
seem on the way to breaking, the
homicide squad is going right along
smashing new ones about every other
day.
Only last Sunday they eclipsed the
home-run and extra-base records.
Since then they've already posted a
new run-making mark by a pennant
winning club. piling up the amazing
total of 1,016 tallies to surpass the
l,004 the championship Cardinals of
1880 compiled.
Yanks Rout Chisox.
WHILE the hot National League
" fight took a day off yesterday,
rain washing out the entire program
and giving the Giants a rest before
they pick up the job of preserving
their 412-game lead, the Yarks ad-
vanced step nearer a couple more
marks by banging three White Sox
pitchers for a I'll victory.
As a result the record for extra
base wallops, runs batted in, total
bases and few others may 60 before
the season ends. Already behind the
ball-killing crew, in addition to the
homer and extra base records, are
such others as most runs batted in
In one game, most homers in two con-
secutive games, most years leading
the league in homers, most years and
most consecutive years with 100 or
more homers, and tie with the tough
one Of three homers in one inning.
There's a very good chance, too,
that they'll post new league mark
for the biggest lead by a pennant
winner over the rest of the pack
their victory yesterday having left
them only game and half away
from it. And by clinching the Ameri-
can League flag a week ago today
they took the title on the earliest
date in league history, 50 far as avail
able records show.

M'NUTT PROBES
ALIBI OF NEGRO
TO DIE TONIGHT
SIaughter's Life Hangs on
Result of Executive
Investigation.

Investigators assigned by Gov
McNutt today were checking the
alibi defense Of CASTOR Slaughter,
Texas Negro, who is to be electro
cuted shortly after midnight to-
night, unless the Governor inter
venes with an executive order COM
muting the death sentence TO life
Imprisonment.
Investigators were assigned to the
case by Gov. McNutt after a hear
ing yesterday at which Thomas
Gallagher and Donald Baker, Terre
Haute attorneys, told him that
Slaughter's story that the latter was
in Chattanooga, Tenn, the night he
was alleged to have slain Walter
Lanfair, Terre Haute policeman,
never has been fully checked.
The attorneys also told the Gov
ernor the Identification of Slaugh-
ter as the Negro who killed Officer
LAMAR Aug. :, 1884, wnen a squad
of Terre Haute police trapped a
burglar, should not have been suffi-
cient for conviction.
Admits Possessing Stolen Gems
Slaughter, who had approx
mately $4,000 worth of admittedly
stolen diamonds in his possession
when he was arrested in Texas,
claims he was in a Chattanooga
rooming house when Officer Lam
fair was slain
Charles Whitlock, former Vigo
County prosecutor, who conducted
the trial against Slaughter, APP
peared yesterday at the hearing TO
oppose executive clemency. Defense
counsel agreed with him that
Slaughter received an impartial
trial.
Slaughter has been saved from
the chair several times by stays of
execution from the Indiana Su-
preme Court during its considera-
ton of his appeal and eventual
affirmation of his conviction.

BISHOP PRAISES
BID FOR PEACE
NJ. {. Cleric Lauds Monroe
Doctrine Invitation by
Roosevelt.
Times Special


KOKOMO, Ind. April 16.-Invita-
tions to South American countries
by President Roosevelt to recon-
slider the Monroe Doctrine is an i'm
portant step toward the preserva-
ton of world peace. Bishop George
Miller of Chile told Delegates to
the North Indiana Methodist Epis-
copal conference today.
Relations between South Amer
lean nations and the United States
are the friendliest in 20 years and
will solidify the American move
ment for peace and settlement of
international disputes by arbitra-
ton, he said.
Bishop Miller is a member of the
South American good will commits
sion which is visiting Is important
cities and religious conventions in
this country in observance of the
hundredth anniversary of the first
Methodist church on the South
American continent.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
exerted a good influence on these
relations at the Pan American Con-
gress in 1888, and this gesture was
followed by still more important
one-the recent invitations to South
American countries by President
Roosevelt to reconsider the Monroe
Doctrine he said.
Laymen and ministers met in
separate meetings to transact bust
ness of the conference.

INDIANA WHEAT
CROP ESTIMATE
LESS THAN '35
$4,000, 000- BusheI Yield Is
Predicted by U. S.
Statistician.

Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind, April l6.-Al-
though wheat in Indiana was hard
hit by the sub-zero weather and ice
OF the past winter, production will
be nearly 100000 bushels this
year. against the five-year average
of 26, 400 900 and figure of 28,458,-
600 last year.
This was the estimate made today
by hi. M. Justin, crop statistscian
for the United States Department
OF Agriculture and the Agricultural
Experiment Station of Purdue Uni
versity.
The yield is predicted despite
winter wheat loss which ranged
from 10 per cent in southern In
diana counties to so per cent in the
northern part Of the state. The in
creased production is attributed to
the larger acreage seeded last fall.
Some Change Crops
The loss was so heavy in parts OF
northern Indiana that many farm
ers have plowed their fields for corn
or disced them for oats to take the
place Of the winter-killed wheat.
Recently, Purdue agronomists rec
commended the use of heterogeneous
fertilizers as a top dressing on the
wheat fields that remain. Tests have
shown that the yields will be in
creased from five to seven bushels
per acre by the top dressing with
nitrate of soda, ammonium sui
phate or cyanamid. Where these
materials can not be purchased, a
light top dressing with manure is
recommended.
Although farmers are behind with
their usual spring work, due TO the
bad weather, they expect to plant
100000 acres of corn against the
average acreage of 4,546,000 The
new soil conservation program may
reduce this acreage somewhat be-
cause Of the encouragement given
farmers to grow soil conserving and
building crops. A majority of Indi-
ana farmers are expected to take
part in the program.
Prospects are that the Indiana
oats acreage will be below that of
previous years, and also that the
soybean acreage of 10000 reported
last year will be much lower this
year.
Prospects for Hoosier peaches
are poor, due to the extreme cold
weather which killed fruit buds and
trees. Apples apparently were no.
