In a moment, more men and women and young people of col lege age were staring down at them and at the splotch of blood terming under Franklin's leg, and everybody seemed to be talking ul once. Hick Bancroft thought he would go crazy In that long five or 10 neconds when he whs forced to watch Itoxelee jump to a horse and ride in pursuit of a criminal. He was even more frantic when he finally freed hlmseir of the tourlntH who bad unwillingly hemmed hi in in, and leaped out to net; Honelee a few hundred yards behind Carl Qua It, pounding her home. 1'nconsciounly he prayed then, nboutlng to high heaven in his frenzy and In hit Stirling neiiRe of futility.

(AP) The military training camps as sociation, which drew up the draft bill introduced by Senator Burke (D-Neb. ), lists these as the mea sure's "essential features:" 1. The registration of all male cltlzeiiK and male aliens between the ages of IS and fi'i, with certain exceptions for in em hers of thej army, navy, ttie national guard, etc. 2. The dfvisi'in of the registrants into two main categories: fa) Men between 21 and 4.". who are liable for eight months' military training and for service: (hi Men between IS and 21 and between 1.1 ami fF who are liable for home defense training and service in or near their home communities. :(. From the great pool formed by registrants between 21 and 4a, provision is made for the selection by lot of men subject to training and service, und for a careful selec tive process from among these men. whereby such numbers of men as are required for the bind und naval forces will he chosen for training and service, having duo regard Tor tbe need of industry and agriculture, the status of the registrant with respect to persons dependent upon him and other fac tors. Tbe provisions for registration' and liability for training and ser vice, which are sweeping In nature, are to be carefully distinguished from the provisions as to induction lor training and service, which would, in practice, be put into ef fect with as little economic dis ruption as possible. I. ll is an ultimate objective of tbe bill that not more than N7 per cent nor less than 78 per cent of the men selected for training and service shall be between tile ages nf 21 and "1. that not, more lhan l"i per cent nor less than HI per cent shall be between the ages of :!l and ;tx. and that not more than 7 per cent nor less than :t per cent shall be between the ages of ;t,s and I.V 5. Other features Include provis ions for the punlshmniit of any per son evading registration or service or abettina any such evasion, and provision lor the vocational and ed ucational training of men Inducted for training and service. li.

This performance was shaded, however, by Harris and Trotter, who held the powerful Tig ers to exactly three hits. The difference was simply that two of Detroit's hits were home runs by (ehrluger and Greenberg. That's how victories are born, , sometimes at least. This one nar rowed tbe gap on tbe Idle Cleve land Indians to two games. Another three-hitter last night was Schumacher's performance against the Phillies to give the New York Giants a 7-0 shutout. In the only other action in tbe major leagues yesterday tbe Brook lyn Dodgers edged out tbe Chicago Cubs 5-4 In a tight game In which each team got nine bits. One of Chicago's was a two-run homer by Itogell in the eighth, but the Dodg ers clambered back In front In the last half of the Inning to win. The victory brought Brooklyn within a game of the first place Cincinnati Keds with the Giants hot behind.
