BrewerS and Pigs Will Oppose
In National City League Feature
SCREEN CAN WIN
BALL CROWN IN
WEEKDAY LOOP

The hot scramble for the Indus
trial League championship mar
moved down to O'Donnell's Grill
and Coffey Screen this week, with
the latter cataputing to the lead
Of the second half race an ia
win over Old Milwaukee. Games
next week will probably determine
the second half champs.
If Old Milwaukee, with the vet
eral Reggie Brown on the firing
line, turns back O'Donnel's first
half champs on Monday, it will
clinch the title for Coffey Screen
and necessitate a play-off with the
first half winners from the Sea
Grill. A victory for O'Donnell's
will make Wednesdays game with
Coffey the weekday feature Of the
Sandlot season.
STILL HAVE CHANCE
A defeat for the ScreenerS on
this occasion would still leave
them a chance to tie for the
second half crown by beating Ma
tional Savings next week in the
sole remaining game on the
schedule. The Heurich Brewers,
who displaced National Savings in
third place this week, will be en-
gagged in a duel with the Bankers
and Old Milwaukee to keep out Of
last place.
Needing a win badly, O'Donnell'S S
will throw its ace southpaw, Lefty
Stevens against Old Milwaukee on
Monday. The making Of a pitch
ing duel with Brown are perfect.
Joe Garvey of National Savings
and either Willie Silverman, Ranny
Heflin or Jess James Of Heurich'S
will hook up in another on Tues.
day.
Young Lefty Heft or Bill Kafka
will bear Coffey Screens hopes in
Wednesdays all-important fracaS
with O'Donnell's, with CranSton
Howard the probable choice for
the Grillmen.
PITCHERS SET
Connie Roger Of Old Milwaukee
and Heflin or Silverman are due
to do the pitching when Heurich'S
and the other beer club meet in
another battle Of the beermen," :"
Thursday.
It was Heflin's four.hit pitching
which beat O'Donnell's last week
and dropped the Grillmen out OF
first place.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
A Bad Pass.

THE informatory double is one OF
= the most potent bidding weapons
at a players disposal. 1t is used main
ly to show a powerful hand, and re-
quests partner to show his distribution,
i.e.. either to bid his longest suit or
show support for a suit previously bid
by the doubler However, If partner
holds strength in the opponents suit
and feels that the doubled contract
will be set, he may make a business
pass. Paradoxical as it may sound the
weaker his hand the more imperative
it is for him to bid.
Here is an instance in which West
committed one of the most unforgiv-
able sins in contract. He left in his
partners informatory double with no
expectation of defeating the contract,
but merely because he was afraid that
his partner was bidding badly and
feared that if he responded to the in
formatory double he would be severely
penalized.

East's hand was close to opening
two-bid strength, and had he held the
major suits he would have made that
bid. After his club bid and Souths
one-spade overcall, followed by two
passes, he made an informatory dou-
BILE. When South shut out his partner
by bidding two spades, East doubled
again. This second double was still
for take-out purposes, and West should
have responded with three diamonds.
Had he done so East would have
Jumped to five diamonds. West would
have had no trouble fulfilling the con-
tract. But West decided that his part 4
ner did not know what he was doing,
and passed.
Fortunately, since both North and
South had to follow to the three clubs
and two diamonds, the hand was set
one trick But. nevertheless, a rubber
had been thrown out the window.

Mrs. Carrie Grey Gets 3O-Day

in Police Court today to Mrs. Carrie
Grey, 49, OF 22l3 Fairlawn avenue

Benjamin Lovenstein, Richmond
attorney, and Edward Axselle, the
Womans first husband, claim that
when Mrs. Grey secured a divorce in
May, 1886, on grounds OF desertion,
she perjured herself by stating she
did not know her husbands S address
SO he could be notified of the suit
and by failing to mention they had
q son.
According to LOvenStein, the woman
married Kemp B. Parkinson less than
week after obtaining the decree.
When her second husband committed
suicide, the attorney said, she came
to Washington and was married to
Alex Grey.

Mild But Definite Upturn
Shown by Retail and

Special Dispatch TO The Star.


NEW YORK, September PA
moderate but definite upturn has been
noted since Labor day in hardware
buying in comparison with the very
conservative buying during the Sum-
mer months. Hardware buyers who
have been marking time during the
Summer months have revised their
views as to the sharp extent of the
September improvement. Hardware
Age will say in its market summary
tomorrow.
All, hardware sales, both wholesale
and retail. are tempered by the recol-
lection that last Summers figures
included bonus spending and were at
a favorable level much harder to pass
than the relative records Of the earlier
months.
HardwaCe wholesalers report that
orders from dealers are numerous and
for good assortments of merchandise.
Retail hardware stores have entered
the Fall season with fair backlogs
of supply to take care of the better
spending which seems to be expected
from all quarters. Wholesale inven-
tories have been very satisfactorily
reduced from their bulges of last
Spring, and orders placed with manu-
facturers each successive month show
more general and larger coverage.
Factories in the hardware industry in
general have kept operating at fairly
steady rate.

with bright view Of the high con-
sumptive level of gasoline this Au-

Every indication was that demand
for gasoline in September would be
at the highest point for that month

year, but operators weren't worried
as supplies moved out of distributing

The condition was evidence the

through the Winter months.

we're pleased with the Texas Rail-
road Commissions decision to set that
States October basic allowable at l.
405,844 barrels daily. 23.456 barrels
under the Bureau OF Mines estimate of
market demand.
In view of the sustained demand.
a slight increase in last weeks output
is not alarming.
Prices in all crude and refined di-
visions remained stationary.
The burning oil situation caused
some concern. Consumption of fuel
oils was expected to break all records
during the Winter. 1t was estimated
about 100000 household oil-burning
appliances have been installed dur
ing the year.
In the face of this outlook, unoffi-

we're only about $4,000 barrels higher
