hits the ball, as much as the timing
of the stroke, that gives distance on

"NO PAY, NO
PLAY" STRIKE
TOPEKA, Kan., July 13 (IP) A "no
pay, no play," strike has boon called
by members of the Independence club
of the Western association, simul
taneously with a disputed announce
ment that William Flelschaker, own
er of the Topeka club, had relin
quished possession.
The latest developments, last night,
has lert the status of the six club
loop In considerable uncertainty. Fi
nancial troubles novo been common
during the season, resulting in num
erous transfers of memberships and
teams.
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.

FOR FIRST PLACE
Win 9 of Last 12 Games

Hy fiayle Talbot
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Tho Cleveland Indians, tearing
through tho east with a speed and
spirit that Btamps them a vastly im
proved club in the last month, prom
ise to Instill some life in an Ameri
can league race that had about died
on its feet.
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

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.

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
