Bathing to Be Novelty.

Boy Scouts of America have been
invited to participate in a jamboree
for Scouts of North and South Amer
lea in Jamaica in January, 1889
The invitation was extended yester-
day by H. D. Tucker, commissioner
from Jamaica and delegate to the
first National Jamboree.
A camp site already has been chosen
for the gathering, Tucker said 1t
is located on q plain at the foothills
of the Blue Mountains, which rise
1900 feet above sea level.
Tucker pointed out that several
South American countries will not be
able to send representatives to the
World Jamboree to be held in the
Netherlands. He expressed hope a
large number of American Scouts
would attend the Jamaica encamp-
ment.
1t will mean an opportunity for
United States Scouts to miss part of
the Winter season. Bathing beaches
will be available.

IS HOST
TO CAPITOL HILL
Number of Congressman
Pay Calls to Sons of
Constituents.

The jamboree brought $4,000 Boy
Scouts to Washington, and Congress
has brought the trimmings Of the
art of "politickin' to the city OF
canvas and khaki.
Down from the Capitol, where their
days have been long and their nights
often weary, Senators and Represen-
tatives have invaded the great colony
OF scoutdom to seek out the sons Of
friends and voters from the home
State and district.
Many have been the shakes Of
hands, slaps on the back and even
pats on young heads and the greet
ing, Il know your father and mother"
or "your Uncle Bill''-"Welcome to
Washington and come Up to see me
on the Hill"
Thousands of Scouts are adding to
their souvenir collections cards Of
admission to the Senate and House
galleries. Congressional secretaries,
1t was learned, have checked home
newspapers for full lists of their visit
ing Scouts and seen that each one
received one Of the fancy cards.
Among those seen in the jamboree
city were two Congressman of the
Hoosier State, Senator Sherman Min
ton of Indiana who spent quite q
while with his native sons, and Rep
resentative John W. (BilD Boehne,
jr., whose interest in scouting has
existed since boyhood.
Maj. Alfred L. BulWinkle, repre-
sentative of North Carolina, spent
part of morning with the boys from
the district he has represented since
the World War. There were q num-
Der from his home town, Gastonia.
OF course, it wasn't pure case of
politics that brought the legislators
to the jamboree. Many Of them used
to be Boy Scouts or have engaged in
Scout work in years past. And like
Maj. Bulwinkle, an Army man also is
attracted by the spirit Of the occasion.
On the other hand, number of
Scouts have made daily junkets into
the halls of Government, some to find
their own Representatives or Senator'S.

GIANTS WIN
IN THRILLER,
CUBS BEATEN

NEW YORK. Aug. &c. U.p-The

the strongest link of the Chicago
Cubs had cracked.
Billy JurgeS and Billy Herman,

led yesterday against the Giants
and tossed away vital game which
may cost the Cubs the flag. The
loss cut the Cubs lead from four
to only two games.
The Giants double triumph over
the Cubs. 81 and 4-2. and the
Cardinals twin victory over Brook
lyn, 4-2 and So, made the National
league derby a three-horse race
again.
The Giants chances were not
worth a plugged nickle as the Cubs
moved into the last half of the
ninth of yesterdays first game,
holding a 7-2 lead But Billy Her
man made wild throw with one
out. and that started a collapse.
Then Jurges booted a double play
ball. The Giants scored five runs
before they were retired. and car
ried the game into the eleventh to
win. Again Herman booted an easy
roller, setting up the winning run.
The Cardinals moved to within
5ia games of the lead by winning
two we'll pitched games from Brook
lyn.
Russ Bauers scored his fifth
straight victory as Pittsburgh blank

The New York Yankees slugged

warming
By BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Major league baseball teams to-
day began their final dash toward
league pennants with fans interest
glued on the hammer and tong
fight between the New York Gil
ants and Chicago Cubs in the Ma
tional league.
The Yankees have already sewed
up the flag in the American league
and most attention is being To-
cused on the second place fight
among Detroit. Chicago and the
Boston Red Sox.
The Yankee murderer's row has
proven itself unbeatable thus far
in the season and give no reason
to expect that they will not con-
tinue to play a winning brand of
ball.
But in the National league two
games separate the Cubs and the
Giants. And close behind, still to
be reckoned with, especially If
Dizzy Dean returns to form, are
the st. Louis Cards.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, who led
the National league parade early
in the season, are also in the
running but unless the Cubs and
Giants crack badly there is little
hope for the erratic Pittsburghers.
The Giants salvaged their hopes
for first place by beating the Cubs
in a doubleheader Wednesday but
it was the way the Giants won the
two games, not the victories alone,
that boosted the stock of the New
York club.
Down To going into the ninth
inning, the Giants emerged with
five run rally to tie the score.
then went ahead to win the con-
test in the eleventh inning.
Again in the second game the
New Workers came from behind to
win, Az.
A team that rallies from the
brink of defeat is tough to oeat
in any league and the Giants may
prove too tough for the slipping
ChicagoanS.
