LEAD
IN DANCER AS
REDS SURGE UP
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Sept. 6 GN.S).
Better hold up those Pittsburgh
World Series reservations for q
while. The Pirates are still a
long way from having that Ma
tional League gonfalon clinched.
AS a matter Of fact, if the
Pirates continue to stagger as they
have lately, they'll wind up some.

the rest of us will end up in Gin.
cinnati watching the Yanks bat
ting with the Reds.
The Yanks, who boast keen
eye for a dollar, are pulling for
the Pirates. The Pirate field will
hold twice as many fans as the
Reds field; hence the Yankee in
terest in the Pirates.
LOSE TWIN BILL
The Pirates had their lead re-
duced to four games yesterday
when they dropped a Labor Day
double-header before $4,000 to the
Cubs, 80 and 4-3, while the
Reds were taking pair from the
Cardinals, 4-3 and A.
The Reds park won't begin to
hold the fans who will want to see
the Pirates playing the Reds there
tomorrow and Thursday. The
Reds have nine games left with
the Pirates and if their pitching
holds up they may conceivably win
six of them.
Cliff Melton, the Giants stringy
left-hander who hasn't won a
game in weeks, finally came
through with three-hit, 7-to-0
victory over the Phils. But the
Giants got only an even break on
the day for the Phils took the
nightcap, 4 to 3.
NARROWS LEAD
The Giants are now only three
games ahead of the oncoming BoS-
ton Bees, who took a pair from the
Dodgers, 5 to 4 and S to 3, and
have high hopes of ousting New
York from the first division.
Dear old Connie Mack, the pa
triarch of the Athletics, went on
record yesterday with the state
ment that the current Yankees
are the greatest ball team that the
game ever saw. Moreover, he said
the Yanks probably will win four
or five more pennants in a row.
lAfter which he sat back and
watched the Yanks knock off his
boys, So and 6-3.
TRIBE TAKES PAIR
During the proceedings, George
Selkirk hit his tenth and Bill
Dickey his twenty-sixth homer,
while Spud Chandler and Monty
Pearson each was credited with
! his fourteenth victory.
, The Indians took a pair from
the White Sox, ga and A. and
the Red Sox also won two at the
expense Of the Senators, IA and
a6. The Browns got a split
with the Tigers. Howard Mills
held Detroit to four hits to win
the opener, 80, but the Tigers
walloped Buck Newsom to take
the curtain-ringer, 9-3. The cur
few number was stopped by dark
ness at the end of the sixth.

QU|ST'S FAULTS
DECIDING FACTOR

the moment was showing him
plenty of tennis.
In all, nine foot faults were
called on QuiSt, but the ones that
really hurt came in the first set
with Bulge leading, 5-4 and
rs, the Australian being halted
five times in those two games. And
with that he suddenly was changed
from a steady and heady player
into an inept Slasher who never
again rallied.
Thus did we retain the trophy,
with bitterness prevented from
entering the thing simply because
the Australians refused to get
bitter about it.
NO DELAY IN DECISIONS
Lebair insisted that he called all
foot faults that Quist committed
and did not delay his decisions or
miss any errors on the part of the
Australian, whose difficulty cen.
tered around his leaving the
ground with both feet on his
service.
For him it was a bad tourna'
ment. He lost both of his singles
matches, dropping the opener to
Riggs while Bulge was beating
Bromwich. Quist and Bromwich
then beat Bulge and Gene Mako
in the doubles to bring it down to
yesterdays final contests and argu
mentS.
Meanwhile, expert opinion was
agreed on another point: That
the foot-fault rule should be radi
cally altered to prevent recurrence
of such incidents.

COAST OFFERS,
TITLE ERAT|NCADD
TO DUPRE BOUT
BY HOWARD JACOBS

ny hOWAnD JANODO
It's the land Of sunshine and
easy money for the winner OF
the joey Archibald-Tony Dupre
fin al featherweight elimination
battle, which not only holds the
center of boxing activity in this
city at present, but is anXiously
awaited by several promoters from
out Of town.
Following an announcement by
the California State Athletic Com
mission, a boxing board which
runs independently of the Ma
tional Boxing Association, that
the winner of next Monday
nights hereunder at Griffith
Stadium will be recognized as
world featherweight C h m p i o n
and an offer of $1,000 to place
the crown on the line within 80
days after the local fight, along
comes another wire to Archibald's
manager, AL WE'LL, for a series
of bouts in Hollywood, which car
rieS another $4,000 marking for
the first appearance.
SEEK ARCHIBALD
The latter wire comes from the
American Legion Stadium match
maker in Hollywood for Archi-
bald's services if he wins from
his Manchester IN. H. opponent.
If the Patent Leather Kid comes
through, and a majority of Wash
ington fistic fans are backing him
to the limit that he will, it may
mark his last appearance in this
city for many, many months. II
Lady Luck Is against him and
his winning streak Of II straight
should hit a Snag, then Mr.. WE'LL
can tear the attractive wire into
Shreds and toss it into the waste
basket.
California's first offer came from
Charley Mcdonald, Los Angeles
promoter. The wire read:
"The California commission
will recognize the winner of the
Dupre-Archibald contest because
it Is convinced that Henry Arm
strong no longer intends making
the 1875 pounds in defense Of his
championship.
"On the strength Of this I
am making a flat offer of $4,000
to the winner of the fight to
come direct to the Coast and
defend his title under my pro-
motion"
FACE ARIZIMENDI?
Baby Arizimendi is recognized
as the No. / challenger on the
West Coast, and it is more than
likely that he would be the op
ponent in the Coast title defense
Arizimendi, though appearing tc
be losing some Of his ring luster
helds a decision over Armstrong
and recently held Lou Ambers, al
the time world lightweight king
pin, to a draw in a nontitle fray
So local boxing fans can reSt
assured that they are in for Z
real treat Monday night when thu
two boys resume their feud which
started some 16 months ago
There's much at stake and Sht
boys will certainly go to it with
everything they got to grab thai
title recognition and the attractive
offers.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearns
on the strength of the many re
quests for reservations, is expect
ing the match to draw close tt

WILLIAM r. ALLEN
FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN

1 wish to take this opportunity
to thank all my very kind friends
and constituents who have SO
thoughtfully sent me letters and
kilograms on the occasion of my
fifty-ifth birthday. I feel happy
to say that 1 spent a most enjoy
able but very busy day at my office
and my only regret is that it was
necessary for me to be so far away
from home.
HIGHWAY SAFETY - Some
thing definitely should be done
about safety on highways. Instead
of a decline in the highway acci-
dent and death rate, it increases.
More people were killed or injured
on the highways in the United
States during the past year than
ever before. Estimates show that
1,374,0OO were injured and 10000
were killed.
PURCHASING AGENCIES -
A business executive may obtain a
list of government offices that pur-
chase supplies, by writing to the
Supply Branch, Division of Pro-
curement, Treasury Department, at
Washington, requesting that he be
put on the mailing lists. A de-
scription of the goods he can furn-
ish in his particular field of manu-
facture should be included in the
letter. Purchases, contracts or
authorizations to procure supplies
for the Government is carried on
by the Procurement Division as one
organization throughout the coun-
try. Each request is considered on
its own merits, and names are add
ed to the lists only on individual
requests, under certain regulations
which the business man will be ad-
vised of. Inquiries should be ad-
dressed to Division of Publications,

or Improvement of the patients, he
explained. The purpose of the sur
vev he said, is to assist in raising
the standards of housing, care and
treatment in the mental hospitals.
The number of cases of mental i'll
ness is increasing slowly, especially
among older people, as the life
snan has been extended by modern
medical science, DR.. Hamilton said.
The general attitude toward treat
ment Of the mentally i'll, once just
Jumped together as "the insane, "
has changed, DR.. Hamilton said, es-
pecially since the World War. The
man in the street now understands
pretty generally that only mod
crate percentage of mental pa
tients are incurable. Most can be
improved or cured by proper treat
ment under proper conditions and
with adequate facilities and suf-
fcient time. Despite the mad pace
of American life, there is no no
ticeabIe increase in mentai illness
among young people, DR.. Hamilton
said Asked about possible in
crease in mental illness resulting
from alcoholism since repeal, DR..
Hamilton replied that while more
patients are being treated he be-
Iieves they are the residium Of the
prohibition era, rather than of the
past four years. DR.. Hamilton and
the survey committee also repre-
sent the American Psychiatric As
the u. S. Public Health
Service, the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene, the American
Association, the American
Neurological Association, the
American Board of Psychiatry and
Neurology, the Canadian Medical
and the Canadian Ma
tional Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. DR.. Hamilton was connect
ed with the Bloomingdale Hospital
at White Plains, N. Y, and the
State Hospital at

NEW PROGRAM
FOR SAFE ROADS
Secretary of State Has Plan
That is Being Studied
With Care
BAN RECKLESS DRIVERS

Details of a plan to check acci-
dents and deaths from reckless
driving on Delaware highways are
being worked out, Charles L. Terry
Jr., secretary of state. revealed
last Friday. Announcement of the
will be announced soon. In the
meantime, pending completion of
the plan, all suggestions, no matter
where they are from, are being
carefully checked. Mr.. Terry said
Delaware will give full cooperation
to Pennsylvania in enforcement of
motor regulations, but said Della
ware will not suspend licenses of
her own motorists arrested on
charges of reckless driving in Penn
sylvania. Withdrawal of a mans
license is a serious matter" Mr.
Terry said, land may deprive a
man of his livelihood and his fam
lily of the. necessities of life. We
cannot be too drastic about this
thing" Gov. Richard c. MoMullen
said Delaware will give full cooper
alton to other states in the enforce
ment of laws to stamp out reck-
less driving. Delaware is in the
midst of the heaviest automobile
traffic on the eastern seaboard and
the state must act in harmony
with other states in the great gen.
eral drive to cut down accidents"
the Governor said. A thorough
study of the entire traffic situation
was stimulated by the record auto
mobile death toll in this state last
year, when lot men, women and
children were killed, Wilmington
was the only section to show a de-
crease in the number of deaths.
Delaware will suspend or revoke
licenses of Delawareans at the re-
quest of other states having re-
ciprocity agreements as in the
past. However the revocation is
effective only when the offense
committed is an offense which calls
for revocation under the Delaware
law. This includes drunken driv-
ing, manslaughter, and leaving the
scene of an accident, and three or
more arrests for reckless driving
in IL months or less.

SEIZE $4,000 STILL
AT BERLIN, MD.
Believed to Have Source of
Much Bootleg Liquors
i'm Delaware
STILL IN PINE WOODS

Three agents of the Delaware
State Liquor Commission helped
federal agents confiscate one of the
largest illicit liquor manufacturing
stills ever found in Worcester
County, Md. Climaxing weeks of
investigation to seek the source Of
bootleg liquor coming into Della
ware, the agents, along with a fed
eral investigator from Salisbury,
raided a $4,000 bootleg liquor plant
at Good Will, near Stockton, Md.
Soquietly did the Delaware and
federal agents work that news of
the raid did not become generally
known to residents living in Good
Will and vicinity until late the next
day William T. Roe, federal in
vestigator of the Alcohol Tax Unit,
Salisbury, and Inspectors C. G.
Tarbutton, E. E. Riggin and Rich
ard E. Long of the Delaware Liq
uor Commission conducted the
raid. Federal agents estimated the
seized plant had a weekly capacity
of $50 gallons of bootleg whiskey.
1t consisted of two stills, rs and 60
gallon capacity respectively, Sc so
gallon barrels, II 10-gallon kegs,
several steel gasoline drums and
3, $50 gallons of fermenting mash.
Still Left Unguarded
Evidence at the still, located deep
within the heart of a pine forest,
showed the plant had just been
moved to the site, the agents said.
It was not in production and was
unguarded. No arrests were made.
Unprepared for such a discovery,
the four agents secured axes and
wrecked the plant. Earlier last
Tuesday, the four agents found
part of still in the State Forestry
tract, near Snow Hill. Eleven
mash barrels and a 5O-gallon con
dense were destroyed. No arrests
were made. During prohibition
Worcester County bootleggers were
said to have supplied illicit liquor
throughout the entire peninsula
and adjacent states. Federal agents
believe a remnant of the powerful
loquor ring of that period still ex-
lists in Worcester.

Commission to be Named

A State commission to make

in the New York We Id Fair of
1889 will be named in the near fu-
ture by Gov. Richard G. McMullen.
He is considering several persons
for service on the commission, but
the full personnel is not complete.

that since the Legislature did not
appropriate any funds for the

UPTURN TO BEGIN Econom-
lists believe that an upturn in bust
ness is about to begin. Industrial
production low, is expected to be
reached in January. In December
a level of 83 per cent of the 1928
25 average was reached. This
month the rate will probably be
80 per cent. The recovery will be
rather slow and may meet with Gif-
ficulties. While the prices of fin
ished goods have dropped, raw ma
terials have turned up slightly.
There has been large purchases of
cotton, copper and other commod-
tiles which are good signs.
II
rics can be freproofed and made
safer for clothing and housefurr-
ishings by a simple and inexpensive
home process by dipping them in a
colorless liquid, a solution of Z
ounces of borax and 3 ounces of
boric acid and quarts of hot wat
er. This treatment will not pro-
tect fabrics from injury by flame
or intense heat, but it will prevent
the fabric from bursting into flame,
and spreading fires that endanger
life or cause the destruction Of
homes The borax-boric acid solu-
tion may be applied by dipping
fabrics until they are thoroughly
moistened, then wringing out the
excess and allowing to dry. Treat
ed cloth may be ironed just before
it is dry. The solution may be also
applied by springling or spraying
the fabric enough to moisten it. A
copy Of Fireproofing Fabrics,
Farmers Bulletin 1886, may be OBJ
tanned by writing to my office.
FEDERAL HOUSING - Gross
business transacted by the Federal
Housing Administration has passed
the two billion dollar mark Ap-
proximately S65OOOO,OOo of this
amount was transacted during
1887. The gross total includes:
Mortgages selected for appraisal,
81, ,399, 100000. Large-scale hous-
ing projects approved SAL, ,694, 900.
Modernization and repair notes in
sured, $3.50, 500, 900. Notwithstand-
ing the decline in construction ac-
tivity during the last half Of 1887,
gains were recorded in the volume
Of business for the entire year over
1886.
