Then for a time tho ball and car traveled on even, terms but finally the car pulled gradually away.

Members of the Independence club, Irked at non -payment of back sal aries, left Hutchinson last night an hour before game time and forfeited the contest to the Wheat-Shockers. A futile effort was made by Marty Purtell, producer manager, to pre vent the departure of his charges. Lack of patronage resulted in the transfer of the club, earlier In the season, to Joplln. This move fol lowed transfer of the Joplln franchise to Topeka. After a short Btay at Joplln the Independence club was returned to Independence, and It was announced that the players hod agreed to do without regular salaries and play for a division of the gate receipts.

Featuring a boisterous batting at tack, the Indians have captured nine of their last twelve games, including four out of five over Washington and three of four from the Athletics, and within a week have fought their way up from the second division into a tie for third place. Another victory over the A's today would plant them in a tlo for the second rung. ( Their spurt has enabled the In dians to pick up better than two games on the Yankees, and they will have a grand opportunity to make further Inroads when they open a scries at Yankee stadium tomorrow. Indians Hammer Grove Tho Indians gave one of their most impressive performances of the year yesterday in hammering the great Lefty Grove for 18 hits and a 7 to 6 victory. Eddie Morgan's home run, followed by doubles by Sewell and Clssell, scored the winning runs in tho ninth. It was the second straight defeat for Grove and the first com plete game he had pitched Bince he turned an ankle a month ago. The combination of Charley Ruf ling's gilt-edged pitching and Ben Chapman's home run with one aboard gavo the Yanks a 4 to 2 decision over St. Louis, although they made only five hits off Whiter Stewart. Babe Ruth walked four times and scored twice. It took Washington 10 innings to subduo the White Sox, 13 to 12, and then they needed a wild throw by Like Appling to give them the decid ing run. Appling made three of eight bobbles charged to tho six inner works. Tho Boston Red Sox. who have i in. . ii rr and as&sjeSrf r"nntiri'iiiiimiiiiiaMM JAP tY v. 1 roused themselves to win bIx games In the last fortnight, whereas they had required two and a half months to capture their first twelve, nosed out Detroit, 3 to 2, behind Bob Kline. Successive drives by Dave Barbee end Qus Dugas, gave the Pittsburgh Pirates an 8 to 7 verdict over Brook lyn . In 12 Innings, The two game breakers-up were filling In for the Waner boys, Paul and Lloyd, who went out early In the game with minor Injuries. The second place Chicago Cubs kept pace with a 4 to 3 win over the Braves, engineered by Pat Malone. Knocked from the box In the first Inning the previous day, Malone came back to allow .eight hits and score the wlnnln rung In the ninth. George Watkfns gave the Cardinals their third straight over the Phil lies by a score of 7 to 6 when he knocked one from the premises after two were out and one on In the ninth Inning. .

LLOYD WANER INJURED PITTSBURGH, July 13 UP) The Jinx that has trailed many a major league boll club has caught up with the league leading Pittsburgh Pirates to put the "poison brothers," Lloyd and Paul Waner on the sidelines. During yesterday's extra Inning gome with Brooklyn, Lloyd suffered a wrenched leg that, will keep him out of the game ' for several days. Paul, the National league's leading slugger, cut a finger and while he may play today, he has a very sore hand. Baseball men agreed that the loss of the younger Waner for any con siderable length of time will hurt the Pirates' chances for the league flag. He is ono of the most consistent hit ters in the lineup. . Captain Pie Traynor Is also unable to play because of Injuries. Tony Piet is hobbling around with many bruises and sore muscles as the re sult of collisions. MISPLACED APPLAUSE CHICAGO, July 13 W Al Spohrer, tho Boston Braves' baldheaded catch er, probably will pick his Bpots here after when he laughs on a baseball field. Spohrer got large applause when 1 the lady fans cheered Pat Malone as the Cub pitcher went to bat with two out In the ninth Inning yester day. He removed his mask and glove and daintily Applauded as the Al; toona Irishman approached the plate'. Malone scowled and let go at the first pitch by Ben Cantwell, driving the ball to left center for a single. Successive hits by Herman and Eng lish sent him home with the winning run which failed to squeeze any ap plause from Spohrer, BRITISH AND FRENCH PLAN NEW PROJECT (Continued From Pago One) London and Paris today that the French and British governments had agreed to co-operate In efforts to solve European political problems which parallel the financial and eco nomic matters considered at the Lausanne conference. Premier Herrlot made the . an nouncement In Paris and Sir John Simon, foreign minister, told parlia ment of the agreement here. Sir John made it clear the new arrangement has nothing whatever to do with the United States, but Is concerned only with European Issues. "If the French people are allowed to believe that this agreement refers to the war debts owed to America," he said, "they will be quickly disa bused." The text of the Franco-British ac cord and also the texv of the "gen tlemen's agreement" which was a sort of rider to the Lausanne treaty, will be published here and In Paris this evening, It was announced., ,. ..v The Idea of the new agreement was' born at Lausanne, where Premier Herrlot and Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald talked It over, but It took form only today. In an official quarter It was In terpreted as a means of obtaining co operation In the settlement of out standing political matters. Specifically, it was understood, the French government has in mind a possible move for revision of the Ver sailles treaty which may be Instituted at some time In the future, presum ably by 'Germany. . By the terms of this new .. pact France can be certain that Germany and Great Britain, or any other Euro pean nation, cannot get together in a common cause for. revision of the tnats That's why more and more Smokers are changing to Chesterfield every day "V7"HEN you are smoking a lot of cigarettes every day, you natural ly want a mild cigarette, and smokers try Chesterfields and find out that they are milder and taste better. Then smokers tell other smokers "one smoker telling another" that they find that although they smoke a great many Chesterfields during the day, they never tire of them ; and that they have found out that Chesterfield is a milder cigarette, that it is a cigarette that tastes treaty without consulting Paris. The hope was expressed that other European governments would signify their willingness to participate In the agreement, but If they don't It will stand for France and Great Britain anyway. I fc MUST CONSULT FRANCE PARIS, July 13 VP) The lirst immediate consequence of a new agreement between France and Great Britain, announced this afternoon, la that Great Britain in the future can not undertake to make new arrange ments for debt payments to the. United States without first consult ing France, Premier Herrlot told the chamber finance committee this eve-' ning. I - The new accord, he said, is a com plement . to the "gentlemen's agrefc ment" reached at Lausanne and the principle of that "gentlemen's agree ment" Is that the debtors of the United States would not ratify the Lausanne treaty until each had ob tained beforehand an acceptable set tlement of Its own debts. J That agreement, he said, is "happily completed" in the special accord with ' Great Britain. So far as France and England are concerned, he said, a certainty of a concerted attitude Is assured hence forth, "thus facilitating the success of negotiations with Washington." . M. Herrlot said that he conceived the' Franco-British agreement to be a resurrection of the enente-cordlale and the opening" -of a new 'era in' Franco-British relations. , From now ohi "under the agree ment, np problem 'affecting the in terests of the countries can be handled by either alone. "The two governments," said the premier, "promise to consult each other on all Important matters In teresting them which are calculated to suggest the wisdom of European co-operation." ; M'KELLAR RESOLUTION DEFEATED . WASHINGTON,. July 13 VP) The McKellar resolution to ask President Hoover as to this government's ac tivity in negotiations connected with the Lausanne reparations agreement was rejected today by the Senate for eign relations committee, 8 to 4. The committee's action today was interpreted by members of the group as putting an end to the dispute so far as the senate is concerned. .Milder better, that it is a cigarette with a most ftleasing aroma. Some time ago, in a Chesterfield ad vertisement, there was a statement, "A $90,000,000 Reason," and this means that the larger part of $90,000,000 is invested in the right kind of ripe, mild Domestic and Turkish tobaccos to make sure that Chesterfields are milder and taste better.
