Where three weeks ago they
were in the second division, the
Rainiers climaxed q long pull to

games from the skidding Oakland
club. which probably will regain
some ground against Portland this

Sacramento faces the Seals, and

Tony Freitas, who in the past has
had only to walk on the mound to
beat them. San Francisco climbed
into third place at the expense OF
the Padres last week, while the

Then Jacobs gave up two
more hits In one inning, and
he committed the serious
blunder OF throwing a home
run ball to Charlie Keller with
two men on base.
There were three four-hit games

Marketing Card
Required When
Cotton Is Sold

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. %.
Growers must show their AAA
marketing cards as means Of idcn-
tifying their cotton when selling TO
buyers, j. X. Kelton, State AAA
supervising auditor, warned today.
Buyers have been instructed TO re-
uuirc this identification when max
in2 purchases. Cotton auditors arc
visiting all buyers in the state to as
sist them in complying with the COT
ton marketing regulations Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1893.
Kelton reported that in only Il few
cases have the auditors found that
cotton was not being properly idcn-
titled by producers through the use
Of marketing cards
In all instances, the auditors have
been advised to instruct buyers that
cotton purchased without 4 market
ing card is subject to penalty. The
buvcr in such cases is to deduct three
cents a pound on such cotton whether
the grower was entitled to a white
marketing card or not White cards

Commission 10 Meet
This Week 10 Study
zoning Dispute
Will Consider RondoIph's
Request for Reheoring
In Seurs Cuse

Engineer Commissioner David Ne.
Coach, jr., announced yesterday he
would call q meeting OF the Dis
trict zoning Commission early this
week to consider the request OF the
House District Committee that q re.
hearing be granted on the change
In Zoning Of property at Wisconsin
avenue and Albemarle street NV,
which has been protested by q long
list Of residents Of the area.
Plans of Sears Roebuck & Co. to
build a large retail store on the
site have been opposed by groups
Of citizens primarily on the argu-
ment that the store would bring
greatly increased traf1ic into the
area, which would cause a hazard
to pupils in the nearby schools,
particularly the Janney School.
About 10 days ago. the commits
sion reconsidered its action In grant,
ing commercial zoning to property
to the rear Of the Wisconsin avenue
frontage and upheld its original
finding that the zoning change was
merited. It made the argument
that without the change commercial
properties could be erected on the
Wisconsin avenue property and on
a portion Of the Albemarle street
frontage.
Col. McCoach, chairman Of the
Zoning Commission, yesterday re-
ceived letter from Chairman Ran.

stating that I'VE shall appreciate
any action taken on this request"
