Man Rescued From
Mob Gets 20 Years

Phenix City. la..-(NNAP)-
Jimmy Harris. 70. who was dra-
matically rescued from a mob at
nearby Hurtsboro on June IL, was
sentenced to a 20-year prison term
last Wednesday on charge Of
attempted rape.
Sentence was imposed immedi-
ately after Harris had entered a
plea of guilty to an Indictment
: which had just been returned by
a special Russell County grand
jury.
The jury, summoned to inveai-
gate the action of the mob as we'll
as Harris, reported that "conceiv-
able one or two persons might
have been guilty of conduct that
would subject them to indictment
for a misdemeanor but our con-
sidered judgement is that such ac-
ton is not necessary for the pub
lie good"
Circuit Judge J. s. Williams de-
clared there has been too much
interest in prosecution Of the mob
and not enough in the culprit's
victim.
He told Harris he should be
"eternally thankful to the good
people of Hurtsboro who saved
your life"
Harris was standing with rope
around his neck under a tree in
front OF the home of a screaming
white woman when Mayor Hugh
Van of Hurtsboro and three vol
unteer assistants pushed their way
through the mob and took the rope
from Harris neck.
Harris was placed In an auto
mobile while themayor appealed to
the mob to let the law takes its
course. The mayor then got into
the automobile and drive away
with Harris. At Scale, eighteen
miles south, he was met by Sheriff
Ralph Mathews of Russell County,
who had been notified of the in
cident by telephone, and a squad
of deputies.
The sheriff first locked Harris
up in the Jail at Phenix City but
later removed him to Kilby Prison
at Montgomery for safekeeping.
Harris was accused Of entering
the home of a middle aged woman
who screamed. Rufus Streetman
her next door neighbor, heard her
screams and came to her assist
ance.
According to Sheriff Mathews
Streetmen grabbed with Harris
A crowd collected quickly in the
woman's yard. Several men went
to Streetmen's assistance and Har-
ris was taken out of the house
4 struggling. Someone produced a
rope and themob leaders were look
ing for a tree limb from which to
string Harris when Mayor Vann
drove up.
The sheriff said Harris had his
arm around the woman when
Streetman rushed into her house

BUM5BEATEN BY CARDS |N
 END CONTEST
By JOE RE1cHLER


 Associated Press Sports Writer) The Cardinal obituaries were once again showed aside today as the still breathing St. Louis club showed the baseball world that they do not intend to relinquish their crown without a last ditch struggle.
 The Redbirds' nerve tingling 8-7 saver" victory over the Dodgers last night rescued them from practical elimination.
 So once again the Cards are four and a half games in back of front running Brooklyn, but this time they have cnly IT games to play, while the Dodgers have IA.
 On numerous occasions this sea sen. Eddie Dyer's amazing crew appeared on the verge of complete collapse, but always managed to rebound with more fight than ever to get back in the running.
 The win squared the vital three game series at one win apiece and put the issue directly up to little Vic Lombardi, Dodger left handler, and Murry Dickson, St. Louis righthander, who oppose each other in this afternoons rubber game.
 Tanks Lcse
 The New York Yankees, appar- ently just playing out their string, were beaten again for their eighth loss in the last 13 starts, when they bowed to the Detroit Tigers in the Yankee Stadium. Despite their poor record, any combination of three Tank victories or three Detroit defeats will clinch the American League flag for the Bombers. The same denomination holds true for the Boston Red Sox who fell to third place, a half game behind the Tigers when they were beaten by the fourth place Cleveland Indians 11-6.
 Kner Hits I've Ecmers
 Ralph Kiner set one record and tied three when he belted two homers to lead the Pirates to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Braves in Pittsburgh The round trippers were his 18th and 49th to give him undisputed possession of the home run leadership in the majors. Johnny Mize of the New York Giants, who was idle. has AT.
 The Chicago Cubs swept a doubleheader from the Philadel- phia Phils 4-3 and 7-5 to mire the Phils deeper into the National League cellar.
 Jack Kramer held the Washing ton Senators to nine hits as the St Louis Browns combed three Nat hurlers for Is to win. 9-3.
 Catcher Mike Guerras wild throw in the 10th inning hit pinch hitter Ralph Hodgin in the ack and enabled Luk3 Appling to score from third with the run that gave the Chicago White Sox a 5-4 victory over the Athletics in Philadelphia.
 The scheduled game between the Giants and Reds in Cincinnati was postponed hy rain.

 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-tR-Al- though scalpers were asking as much at $20 for seats for the Cards Dodgers openers in St. Louis, a section of the bleachers was rop- ed eff so the hitters could bat against a dark background .. And some guys still berate Sam Breadon as a skinflint.
 After all these exhibition games, wonder why the National Football League doesn't nominate a pre- season champion to play off against the regular season winner?
 Word from Villanoya is that the Wildcats aren't planning a victory celebration for the Army game, as has been reported from West Point. I'd probably he hung in effigy if I mentioned it." one spokesman claims just give 'em the victory and there won't be any trouble about a celebration.
