MOOSE STEP AHEAD WITH
 10-RUN WIN
Elks Lose First Place as B. KimbaII Pitches Two-hit
 Ball in Sunday Game

The Moose ball club took a full game lead in the Gastineau Channel Baseball League last night when lanky Bob Kimball, Moose chucker, set the Elks down with two hits and two runs while his teammates piled up ten markers.
 The Moose got one run in the first inning after a pair of Elks er- TOTS and one hit by Fred Marquardt, Moose shortstop who hit four out of five for the evening.
 Tn the fourth inning, the Moose garnered two more tallies, and ir the last of the sixth, the Elks fin ally got started and scored two runs to pull up within one run of the Paps.
 However, in the eighth frame, the Moose garnered four more runs, then went on into the ninth inning and got three more, while the Elks' guns were silent.
 A dreary drizzle began shortly after the game got under way, and before the night was over, the field was a sea of mud. Catchers sloshed in muck, sliding base runners came up looking Ike the scenery. and pitchers had to throw soaked balls wiped on a sideline towel.
 Fielders had difficulty handling balls, and the Elks made six er- TOTS.
 AS the first half of the league season draws near an end. it is worthy of note that it is still any body's race.
 Tuesday night. the Elks meet Douglas at Douglas. then meet the Moose next Friday. The Moose have tie to play off with Douglas, yet, and the Elks still have post poned game with the Moose.

RED5' BOSS HAD FAITH IN FREY;
 HE MAKES GOOD
MlKeChnie Watched Lon. nie, Built Up Hopes,
 Which Come True
By DILLON GRAHAM JAP Sports Writer)

NEW YORK, June l9.-Wily Will l McKechnie wrinkled his frecklet nose and hooked a gnarled fore finger over it. He sat there on the hard pine bench meditating as a fierce, glaring sun slanted down or the Tampa diamond where the Gin cinnati Reds were training last March.
 He looked out over his spectacles, sitting pertly on the bridge of his nose, and watched Lonnie Frey scoop up a ball around second base Young Lonnie Frey, the fellow many critics tabbed as the weak link in the Reds chain.
 That Frey is a pretty fair ball player. You gotta remember he hadn't played much second base until put him there regularly last season.
 Maybe some of the other teams don't think much of him. But I was pretty well satisfied. Under the circumstances he played good ball for me-
 McKechnie looked up at me. Where am I going to find bet ter second-baseman2 There's not ss many I'd swap Lonnie for, and the clubs that own those players won't sell or trade them
 No, think I'll go along with Lonnie at second. He's liable to sur prise you when he plays next sea- son. He's young and new at sec- ond base"
 A ndLonnie is bearing out Me- Kechnie's predictions. Right now he's about the hottest second sacker in the National League. His spark ling play has been as important a factor in the surge of the loop- leading Reds as any other.
 Paired with Billy Myers, they form one of the best doublc-play units in the major leagues. Lonnie is getting balls he wouldn't have speared year ago. He's pivoting Smartly and whipping the ball to first to cinch double plays that would have found him late last summer.
 Linus Reinhard Frey, just turned 25, has been in the big show for five years His first trick was with Brooklyn but everything he did there seemed to be wrong and the furious Flatbush fans were down on him. He was happy to be traded to Chicago in 1887 Lonnie was a utility fielder with the Cubs and one of McKechnie's first moves when he came to Cincinnati in 1888 from the Boston Bees was to buy Frey.
 There was lot Lonnie didn't know about second -basing. Some of the boys started calling him the weak sister. But Lonnie was game and McKechnie had confidence in him and now Lonnie is coming into his own.
 T guess I'm playing better this

vital interests of France, from what

Italian Fascism's newspaper spokes-

that Italian troops would stay in
Spain until Generalissimo Francisco

.State-Run Relief,
With Funds HaIved,
Sought in House
Woodruff Bill Coils for
$1,120,000, 900 and
Eligibility Standards
By the Associated Press.


Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, a leading
economy advocate, proposed today
that Congress cut future relief ap-
preparations in half and turn relief
administration over to the States
as far as possible
He introduced bill calling for a
Federal relief expenditure of 81, ,120,-
100000 for the next fiscal year and
creating definite standards of eligi-
bility for relief.
His proposal would substitute an
Unemployment Relief Administra-
tion for the w. P. A. and would cut
the Federal administrative force to
$500 employees from an estimated
$1,000 at present.
Representative Woodrum said this
reduction would cause most of the
proposed fund to be spent in grants
in local communities. but he added
that his U. r. A. would have to ap-
prove projects and determine eligi-
bility of employment.
The setup, he said, would be suf-
f1ciently flexible to arrange the
works projects program in every
community according to circum-
stances, with a view to turning over
control to the community as soon as
it demonstrated its ability to handle
the problem.
If enacted, the new program
would become effective July l.. Con-
gress has appropriated $2,150, ,000, 900
