DEAN TO PITCH. AT PIRATES IN BIG GAME TODAY
Leaders Still 5Iz Games Up; Gumbert Aided Giant
 Cause With } Hitter
BY STEVE SNYDER United Press Stan Correspondent

Chicago, H., Aug. 13-(UP)-A vital question in the National League today is "how tired are these Pittsburgh Pirates?'
 Since July 12, the Bucs have been bounding along in first place with no let up in the nervous strain of setting the pace in tight campaign. They admit they're tired and Chicagos Cubs, snatching at one last chance to make a come back, put more dark circles under their eyes yesterday by hammcring full game off their league lead with a 16-hit attack and 9 to 3 vic tory
 It left Pittsburgh 5h games ahead of the New York Giants and 6h ahead of the Cubs.
 One defeat isn't a rout, but the Cubs countered today with their expensive pennant investment, Dizzy Dean, in the hope that Pitts burgh would start cracking under pressure as August leaders have been doing right on schedule for three straight years.
 Nice Work
 Big Bill Lee won the series opener by scoring his first victory of the eastern tour, giving up seven hits as the Cubs were moving down Jim Tobin and Mace Brown. A homer by Stan Hack, his second of the season, and three hits by Augie Galan, led the drive.
 Harry Gumbert, pitching three hit ball, gave the Giants their first dent in Pittsburgh's lead since July IS. He defeated Philadelphia, l to
 Cincinnati moved within seven games of the leader by outlasting St. Louis in night game at Gin cinnai, 3 to 2, while Boston moved back into fifth place with typi- cal to victory over Brooklyn. The Bees got only six hits, one a home run by Elbie Fletcher. but it was plenty of margin for old Jim Turner who won his 10th game.
 In the American League, Cleve- land lost chance to pick up ground on the New York Yankees by splitting a double header with the White Sox while the Tanks were doing the same with Phila- delphia.
 The Indians won the opener in the 10th inning on Hal Trosky's triple with two men on, l2 to g. but lost the second 6 to 5. Bob Johnson's home run in the ninth beat the Tanks in their first game 5 to 4. The second was rout-l6 to3. George Sclkirk hit two homers and drove in eight runs.

Junior BLack Knights Sp0rtoHo
BY CHICK KRAMER
Hello Everyone.

k10iIO EVcTyOIc.
 The Junior Knights had the dis tinction of being the first team to beat the Walsh Alumni in the Full ton Park Senior League. The final ycore was 9-8, and 1t took eleven Innings to turn the trick.
 If there is any pitcher who has any tougher luck than John Bren- nan, wouldn't like to know about It. Every game John pitches great ball for the Knights, and what hap pens? Some of the fellows go on a booting pree, and throw the ball all over the lot, and John loses tough game. Well, John keep punching.
 News gathered at random by your reporter.
 First, the Junior Knights want to thank Joe Delaney for his contribu- ton of a new ball to the team. It's appreciated Joe Chops Zilaro, Tab catcher ribbing the boys on the sidelincs. o. K. Chops, we can take 1t .. It wouldn't surprise me in the least If there would be a few changes in the lineup for the next game . .. Red Byrne has replaced Mike Ritucci as the leading batter on the team. Red is hitting lusty 440 .. John Brennan has an ail- ing arm, thus putting the Junior Knights in very tough pot, as John and Mike Ritucci are the only starting pitchers the Knights have.
 On a recent evening your corre- spondent and two other Junior Knights had the pleasure of being the guests of Charlie Gerace and the Corsair A. c. Charlie, as you know writes those swell Corsair col- umn which appear in the Democrat every Tuesday. Charlie howed us through the whole club room, and we were greatly impressed with the features of the club. To top off the evening we had game of pinochle with the pinochle shark, Red Byrne and Don Mancini. Thanks again Charlie, and I'll be seeing you soon.
 When Bill Ross, coach of the Jun- for Knights due to circumstances which couldn't be helped failed to appear at game. John Brennan was put in charge of the team. Al- though John did his noble best, the boys didn't seem to have the pep and vigor that they uually show when Coach Ross is on the bench. AS result the Knights threw way game they should have cas- fly won, and you guessed 1t. John Brennan w2g pitching. So. Bill Ross please huriy back. the Junior Knights need you more than ever.
 To give credit where credit is due is in my estimation good policy, and therefore this is why give Ed Errlchetti g big heap of praise for his willingness to catch with just mak, and no other equipment what soever, thereby risking injury, and believe you me Ed has been hurt more than once. Ed also has 1 rn- pressed the team with his fine spirit. Keep 1t up, Ed.
 I am closing this weeks column with a set of four questions about Junior Knight players; and the answers will appear next week. So. Come on fellow, see if you can ar- swer them. Here goes.

CITY OFFICIAL
ASKS LAWS FOR
VICE CONTROL

Organized vice and gambling
can never be entirely stamped out
and can be controlled only when
municipalities adopt a realistic
attitude" City Attorney Wesley
Tinker, of Wheeling, w. Va, de-
clared today at the National In
Stitute of Municipal Law Officers
in the Mayflower Hotel.
Registration and segregation of
prostitutes, Tinker contended, is
the only means of combating or
ganized vice under present condi-
tions.
Laws governing bling,
Tinker contended, should be over
hauled to eliminate provisions at
tempting to cover every petty
form of betting and concentrate
on attacking organized racketS.
City Attorney Walter j. Matti-
son, of Milwaukee, discussed park
ing meters and legal provisions
adopted in Milwaukee to insure
their satisfactory operation.
City Solicitor Philip H. Hill, of
Charleston, w. Va, stressed the
Importance of close cooperation
with Federal officials if municipal
low-cost housing projects are to
succeed.
Later today the city law Off

when the movement for this
agreement began" Lewis said.
1.-THE American people were
under the impression that some
offer would be made in the pact
to settle the debt question.
OBLIGATIONS IGNORED
Britain is lending millions to
Turkey, Portugal, and Greece.
granting trade credits to Ru'
mania and giving $4,000. 900 to
what is left Of CzechoSlovakia.
But there is not a sign of any
thing for America. Surely Brit
ain must realize the effect OF
such an omission on the people
of the United States"
Senator Lewis, interviewed here
soon after his arrival for a pro
tracted stay in Europe, declared
Britain could not legitimately ex-
cuse herself on the grounds that
she must wait until her own
creditors make some arrangement.
NO JUSTIFICATION
"Such conditions" he said,
"were not mutually undertaken
when the debts were contracted.
There is no justification either
in law, justice or equity, for
England to impose this excuse
for her default.
The johnson act, Lewis said, is
no bar to Britain making America
an offer.
Our two countries" he said,
could easily come to an ar.
rangement wherey Britain could
raise the money on bonds guar
anteed by her, and issued in
both countries. Britain, like
America, has the power to close
her markets to all foreign bonds.
She could put that order into
force forthwith and then by
order in council permit the sale
of American bonds and indus
trial shares in her stock markets
throughout the country, perhaps
throughout the empire.
