U. s. Attorney Charges O.P. A.
 Uses "Gestapo Methods" In Mass.

OPA headquarters and directed mainly against motorists who have attended the races at Rockingham Park and Narragansett Park, had set neighbor against neighbor. He referred to gasoline ration tattlers" in remarking that persons com- blaming over issuance of preferred books to those who live near them, had swamped OPA boards through out New England.
 Dislikes Gambling
 The investigation which got under way on August 3 was inaugurated by Henry Parkman, Jr., Massachu- sets OPA director, who is a former chairman of the New England Anti Gambling Association, Inc, and was one of the ten original signerS of the initiative petition against pari- mutuel betting in Massachusetts, which was filed with the secretary of the Commonwealth on October 21, 1887. Flo 20 days the investiga- tion was conducted exclusively at Rockingham Park and Narragansett Park racetracks. A few days ago Parkman announced it had been extended to include tennis tourna- ment at the LongWood Cricket Club, certain North Shore beaches and golf clubs.
 Regarding this investigation, As sistant U. s. Attorney Hassan add- ed: MT. Brandon wants me to as- sure the public that such proescu- tions by such agencies will not be tolerated by his office" Hassan further stated that the United States Attorney had instructed him to say that he was definitely op- posed to Gestapo methods carried out by snoopers."
 At Narragansett Bark, Parkman and OPA Director Christopher Del Sesto of Rhode Island have been using between IA and 20 inspectors day to check cars in the race track lots.
 Taxis Can Run
 In Providence, the racetracks ap- | peared to have scored another point when OPA Director Del Sesto was informed by Public Utility Adminis- trator Thomas Remedy that the latter had no power to halt taxicab service to Narragansett Park. Ken hnelly said that under existing laws taxicabs are common carriers and drivers must transport passengers in accordance with their instruc- tions. Remedy said he had no power to instruct or request taxi drivers ito disobey the law and re- i fuse service to and from the track"
 Judge James E. Dooley, president of the Narragansett Racing Asso- citation, Inc, stated today: "The racetracks deserve no special con- sideration in the matter of war time rationing and Narragansett Park is asking for none. However, the>racetracks are legal and legiti- mate business and should not be discriminated against. We have reason to belive that they have been discriminated against in the recent OPA investigations We feel that our customers are entitled to fair deal, and believe that U. s. Attorney Brandon's attitude will protect them against the nuisance of snoopin2 and against intimidation"

Pawtucket, R. T., August 28-A sharp rebuke to the OPA head quarters in Boston which has been sending inspectors to Narragansett Park to check on gasoline ration card holders who attend the races, was uttered yesterday by U. s. At tcrney Edmund s. Brandon through his assistant, Edward D. Hassan, at hearing in the Federal Building. Brandon assailed what he termed the OPA's use of "Gestapo methods" in the investigation and Hassan stated that his chief would not tolerate them" in districts under his jurisdiction.
 Brandon promised full procesu- ton of gasoline "chiselers" under the law but said he "deplored threats that are being made almost daily in the newspapers and eman- ating from government agencies which have kept the public more or less in a turmoil of suspense of late"
 U. s. Attorney Brandon also pointed out that the recent investi- gation launched by Massachusetts

ed the Cincinnati Reds, until the final game when they teed off on Max Lanier, pitcher who, had had only two days rest.
 Slaughter's Cardinal mates are confident that energetic Enos will give young Reiser one helluva battle for the batting crown, even if Pete does snap out of his slump. And they assure that if Reiser doesn't lift out of the doldrums, Slaughter will walk away with the title-be- cause he is ''hot" now, and he's tough man to cool off.
 The battle for the crown adds sparkle to National League competi- tion, because both principals are excellent hitters and chaps who re- semble each other closely in appear ance and performance, Slaughter, who came from North Carolina but now resides in St. Louis, is 26, three years older than Reiser, who was born and reared in St. Louis They probably are the two fastest run ners in the league when it comes to VI ASohAAl6 e"WobJ 1AOll CAlC1I pOl CoIllC stance at the plate and springting to first base. Both are line drive hitters with their power to right center. They are of similar build Stream-lined and moulded for speed
 Run Elm Out
 Their unusual speed gives them an edge on other batsmen. Even when they are not meeting the ball properly, they get fair harvest of hits by out-running topped balls to the infield.
 Although Slaughter hit 1882 for Columbus in ST. he never wound up higher than 1920 during his four previous seasons with the Cards. He was ready for a big season last year, but a broken collar bone kept him out of the lineup for five weeks and impaired his efficiency He finished with .311.
 If Reiser repeats, he will be the fourth player in modern National League history to defend his crown successfully. The others were Rog- CTS Hornsby ruler from 1920 through 1925; Honus Wagner, king of the clouters from 1906 through 1909, and Jake Daubert, 1913 and 1914. N

Tobin, Democratic nominee for state senator of Con- neticut will also be one of the speakers, added interest was given to the affair, expected to be one of the best of its kind, because of the daily efforts of hard-work- ing committee, and the general popularity of the guest of honor, whose City Amateur League base ball career extends over a period of 20 years.

Army and Navy Funds to Get $16O,OOO for Emer=
 gency Relief

Chicago, Aug. 28-(UP)-One o1 footballs best known figures, Bok Zuppke, comes out of retirement to- night to send the College AllStars against the world professional cham pion Chicago Bears at Soldiers $ field.
 The game, ninth in sereis be- tween an All-Star team selected in a nationwide vote of grid fans and the titlist of the National Foot ball league, will draw a sell-out crowd of 101,200 fans. Proceeds from the game, expected to total approximately $160,000 go to Army and Navy emergency relief funds. Because of their brilliant record during the past two years in the pro league and their achievements in previous all-star contests, the Bears were rated the favorite team. The team Zuppke must start was composed of players who received the largest number of votes at their respective positions. However, in many cases these @fans choices haven't been the most impressive players and consequently the All Star lineup likely will be revised drastically early in the game.
 WOttO Club
 The only starters likely to remain on the field when "zup" substitutes to form his strongest combination were Bernie Crimmins of Notre Dame who will captain the team from a guard position; Al Blozis of Georgetown at a tackle; Dick Erd- litz of Northwestern at quarterback and Bruce Smith, Minnesota's player of the year" at left half.

(UnSsse Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 28-(UP)-Enos ' (Country) Slaughter, the Cardinals slugging outfielder, may win the National League batting champion ship-his greatest mbition-before changing this autumn into the uni form of the Air Corps Cadets, in which he enlisted yesterday.
 Regardless of what happens in the Brooklyn-St. Louis pennant race, it seems now that Slaughter will overtake the Dodgers belting beauty, Pete Reiser, and prevent Pistol Pete" from repeating for the batting crown which he won last year in his first full major league season.
 Since midway in the season Slaughter has been climbing the golden stairs with flying feet. He surged from an anemic .274 on July 2 to 8 robust 1928 after yesterdays Cardinal defeat by the Dodgers. He had boosted his average 49 points and now is only five behind the fad ing Brooklyn outhelders 1928.
 Off Form
 Since July 2, Reiser has dropped 20 points in his hitting and-judg- ing by recent performances-may toboggan further before the season ends. Pounding Pete has been of form recently because of leg in jury-a torn muscle in his upper right thigh. The injury became SC aggravated at St. Louis that he was benched during the third contest ot the four-game series. Reiser failed to make a. hit in the Missouri metropolis, and his -futility put the brakes on the Flatbush scoring ma chine, although Durocher's lads snapped out of their lethargy yes terday and salvaged the final game
 Had Pete been as potent as usua ct St. Louis, the saga of the series certainly would have been different You will recall that the Cardinals second and third victories were achieved over extra-inning routes by the same 2-to-1 score. Without Reiser's wand work, the lads from the shores of the Gowanus resembl-

Black Jack Wilson Of Baylor May Be All-Army Grid Star

The latest shuffle of the football deck that Colonel Bob Neyland, the silent touchdown engineer who is quietly throwing up a powerful football fortress to withstand the assaults of three of the strongest teams in the National Football League, has at his disposal brought a new trump to the surfaces He hasn't the color or the reputation that preceded some of the All-Army football squad into the training camp at Yale University, but Black Jack" Wilson, the Baylor Bullet, may well top all the aces.
 In fact, Black Jack" Wilson will be one to watch very closely when the All-Army team takes the field against the New York Giants, East ern (, ampions of the National Football League, in the seventh an- rual All-Star game for the Dc lefit of Army Emergency Reli-f and tic Tribune r'csr /! ,r Fund d the Polo Grounds on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12. For t.le fellow has 3 habit Of popping up when least expected and most Jleecea.
 The rawest rcc1uit in Amy trap Arm only few days before arriv- ing at New Haven last Thursday Wilson may be the one to tear the ball game right apart. Hard and lean and with weeks of gruelling Army drills behind him, he could be the answer to Neyland's prayers.
 One-Man Team
 It was Wilson who started mighty Texas-a team that supposedly couldn't be beaten-on the down. road to football oblivion last Octo- Der. Without him, Baylor would hardly have been in the ball game. An inspired man all after ,1oon, Will sons running and passing jared the Longhorns to their cleated heels. It was he alone who enabled Baylor to come off the field with a 7-7 tie, the deadlock that sent Texas tumbling from first place in the weekly ratings anC put them into the skids from which they were un- able to recover in time to regain theit place in the gridiron sun. Softened up by Baylor in general and Wilson in particular, Texas went on to lose to Texas Christian the very next weekend.
 With 195 pounds spread leanIv over his six-foot frame, Wilson has gwen a terrific lift to the wingback slot that has been Neyland's biggest head ache. In his very first day of practice, Black Jack" looked ready to do terrific job Big enough and strong enough to furnish the block ing ability that Ntyland'S system requires of a wingback, he rein forces the weakest link.
 "B.ack Jack" Wilson may well be the AlI-Army teams big trump.

SERVICE FUNDS MAY BE GIVEN ABOUT $7OO,OOO
Length of World Series Would Determine Total
 Contribution

Chicago, Aug. 28-CUP)- The World Series will be played this season primarily for the benefit of the American Red Cross and the United Service Organizations, Com missioner Kenesaw M. Landis an- rounced today.
 The decision to give the bulk of the profits to the war relief groups was voted yesterday by the major league advisory council composed of Landis, National League President Ford Prick and American League President William Harridge.
 How large the contribution will be was dependent on the length of the series. If the series goes only the minimum of four games it was estimated the Red Cross and the U. s. O. would profit by approxi- mately $357,544 but if 1t is sever contests they will receive approxi- mately $679,006.
 Figured On 1941
 The estimated figures were based on receipts from last years series between the Brooklyn Dodgrs and tn New York Yankees and a sup position that those two teams, now leading their leagues, would clash again. If the St. Louis Cardinals should win the National League flag the receipts would be approximately the same. However, if the Boston Red Sox bested the Yankees in the American league complete new es' innate must be made.
 The charity fund starts with the outright gift of $100,000 receivee. from the Mutual Broadcasting Sys tenn for the exclusive series radit' rights. In the past this money ha. been divided among the players pool, the competing clubs, the tWt. leagues and the commissioners of flee.
