 Classic Set
 For Days
New Shooting Rules May, However, Lower Scores
 in Coming Event
By FRITZ HOWELL AP Feature Service

VANDALIA, O., Aug. IS. - Guns will boom for a full week at the crossroads of America where the National Highway meets the Dixie - as the amateur trap shooting Association stages its 41st annual Grand American pro- gram August 19 to 23
 From among the thousand odd shotgun enthusiasts from all parts of the U. S., Canada, Mexico and the Canal Zone will come the new Roaring Grand handicap king, but any attempt to put the finger on him before the firing starts would be sheer folly.
 Tough Shooting
 For years the 100- target king has been an unknown from mo- where" the big classic eluding the experts time after time. The scattergun artists are handicapped on yardage in the feature event, the novices firing from l6 yards back of the traps, and the others being graduated back to 25 yards, according to their seasons aver age on registered targets and their known ability.
 The extra yards take heavy toll, especially if a breeze causes the targets to do stunts" As a result, the fellows up front gener- ally walk off with the heavy end of the $10,000 prize.
 No woman ever won the handi- cap crown, although Mrs. Lela Hall of Strausburg, Mo, national feminine queen from 1895 to 1888, came close on several occasions. The 40 previous champions have come from crossroads, hamlets, cities and farms; from all walks of life.
 A 14-year- -old boy won the title once, as did a 70-year-old man. fvImer champs include railway men, farmers, storekeepers, plumb CTS, oil men, mechanics, auto sales men and unemployed.
 Some of the champs won with guns costing as much as $500; one man won it with a secondhand arm for which he paid $40. An other copped it with sliding bar rel automatic he used for hunting, while still another borrowed the gun with which he stormed the heights.
 The present king is D. l.. Ritchie, former barber and now a storekeeper at Goshen, Ohio. He broke 99 of 100 from p yards last year to tie for the title, and then cracked g of 25 in shootoff to win the crown.
 Almost perfect scores have been necessary to win the IA events on

Koski HurIs 4-Hit BaII-Red Shaw Pops Out
 Nice Single

The Elks ball club outbatted and cutplayed the Moose last night to win a seven inning ball game and tie up the second half three ways, Shavey Koski setting the Paps down with four lonesome singles.
 Highlight of the game came in the first of the seventh when um- pire Red Shaw, in a Moose baseball suit after seven years of lay-off, stepped to the plate and started the inning off with a ringing single to left field to start what tempor- arily looked like rally.
 Elks got their six runs in the third and fourth innings, grouping three hits in each frame and talk ing advantage of four errors
 AS the schedule now stands, all three teams are tied for second half honors Moose have drawn a bye, putting the Elks up against Douglas tonight, and the winner to play

the program in past years, but there's a chance the totals will drop a bit this year unless the marksmen draw their beads a little closer. New trapshooting rules limit the shot load to one and one-eighth ounces, eliminat- ing about 40 pellets from the for mer trap shell.
 The same amount of powder as formerly (about three drams) will propel the lighter load, in- creasing velocity of the charge. Consequently, the shooters must cut down their lead" on the angle targets. A target must be broken to be counted dead" and since it is possible for one or two pellets to pierce the clay without breaking it, a large part of the shot charge must meet the flying target.
 One new championship the father daughter and father-son, has been added to the 1940 pro- gram. It is expected to attracE 50 pairs.

BUICK PROGRAM FOR 1941 PUTS
 PRODUCTION Up
Plants Also Able fo An. swer Any Calls for Na-
 iionaI Defense

FLINT. Mich, Aug. Is. - An- nouncement of the completion of a major expansion and retooling program in preparation for pro- duction of l941 models was made today by Harlow H Curtice, Presi- dent and General Manager of the Quick division of General Motors Corporation.
 The executive said that the pro- gram involved extensive changes and improvement in plant and equipment in virtually every manu- featuring department and will bring productive capacity of the Buick plants up to 1,500 cars day or 350,000 annually against a capacity during the model run just ended Of approximately 1900 cars day
 He said that Buick in 194l will be equipped to meet expected eX- banded market requirements Tor it's new cars and at the same time answer any calls made upon it for national defense.
 In this connection, MT Curtice disclosed that Buick engineers have been working closely with Army technicians on armament projects intended to adapt the Buick valve in-head engine to military uses At the same time, other armament production was being considered.
 He indicated that any arms production would be collateral witf Buick passenger car output, de- claring it to be industry's duty tc maintain normal operations a n c employment in addition to its share of the preparedness program.

(By Associated Press)

The old guys, with the funny de- liveries, did all right yesterday.
 Carl Hubbell and Al Smith, the foremost opponents of the screw ball, gave flashes of their old form in the best pitching of the day. Smith did the best. Working un- der lights for Cleveland last night, Smith limited Chicago to single hit, Jimmy Webb's single, thus enabling Cleveland to hold a two- game lead. A crowd of 59.000, the largest Of the season, witnessed the game.
 Eubbell five-hitted the Boston bunch for 12 innings, then Mel Ott, on the bench as a pinch hitter, sin gled and eventually scored the win ming run.
 In the second game, Manuel Sal vo blanked his former mates and won with eight hits
 Meanwhile, Brooklyn dubbed chance to close the gap behind idle Cincinnati after winning the first game as the pitching staff folded completely.
 The Yankees crept back into the first division yesterday by lambast- ing Boston for the third straight time. Ruffing allowed six hits, in- cluding homers by Lou Finney, Jimmy Foxx and Ted Williams.
 Detroit emerged from slump, battering the Browns in loose game.
 A walk in the eleventh inning, with the bases loaded, gave tn Cards a victory over the Pirates in a night game.

labor unions in Chicago and New
York where we had the power to do
it," Green said in an interview.
"It is my purpose to bring every
case Of this kind tc the councils at
tention, and ask the council to call
on the international unions to deal
with this situation as effectively as
we did in the federal unions"
The federal unions are under the
direct control of federation officials
as distinguished from international
unions which are described as au-
tonomous and self-governing in their
internal affairs.
The ALL high command, in reply
to complaints of alleged racketeering
in international unions, has said in
the past that federation officials
were powerless to control the in
ternal affairs of such organizations.
Daniel J. Tobin, a member of the
council and head Of the Transfers
Union, recently called on his own
union for new powers to deal with
racketeers, describing them as mis-
cradle, dishonest, unprincipled
s%coundrels who have brought
the blush of shame to our honest
membership"
The council session will be devoted
largely to the preparation Of it's an
nual report to the ALL convention,
to be held in New Orleans November

u. s. Seeks To Halt
Fixing OF Oil Prices

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. IN
A suit to halt alleged "price-fix-
ing" and other existing abuses"
by the nations major oil compan'
les was ordered today by Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson.
Announcing that the antitrust ac-
ton would be filed here next week,
the attorney general said that it
would be restricted in accordance
with recommendations of the ma
tional defense commission.
1.-The defense commission" he
said in a letter to Senator Gillette
(D-Iowa) advised me that it
would intellectually approve any
appropriate legal action brought
to eliminate such restraints on the
competition where they are proven
to exist" Gillette had urged that
the suits be filed. 2
