Yanks Continue To Hold Place; Cubs Gain Game By Herbert W. Barker (Associated Press Sports Writer) The New York Yankees continue to coast far out In front of the rest of the American league pack but I there are prospects of another bitter stretch duel In the National. Where the Yankees lead by eight , and one-half games with no signs of a slump, the National league race has ,1nwnKl up to IoUt where only i ' - ing Pittsburgh Pirate and the fifth plsce Brooklyn Dodgers.

Brooklyn and Cincinnati also split two games, the Dodgers taking the first, 6-1 and the Reds the second. 9-5. The Cleveland Indians, surprise contenders for the American league championship, whipped the Washing ton Senators twice and moved into second place, two percentage points ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics.

OoaM (Associated Press Sport "Editor) Identical twins. Gene - and Tom Clark. Philadelphia boy, who belong to the Undine Barge club, are the featherweight entries of the United 6 tales in the Olympic regatta. For several years these two young stere. still in their twenties, have won championships in the-145-pound classes of national competition. This Lb the lightest division In which they can compete for U. 8. honors. They have no trouble making the weight, for they scale only about 135 pounds apiece. . They rigged up a boat' especially for the Olympic try outs in the event for pair-oars, without coxswain, and won from bearywelght rivals for the honor of wearing the shield in the big International regatta at Long Beach, Cal. . - When the Clark twins reached Los Angeles their weight had dropped to around 120 pounds. Vis itors mistook "them for coxswains. Rivals marvelled at them when they first took to the Olympic waters. But they soon picked up a few more pounds and as quickly demon strated they will not need to ask for handicaps when the racing begins. CALIFORNIA'S OWN ' ' California's varsity crew, the United States standard-bearer In the elght-oared competition. Is an all California boatload so far aa the sweep-swingers are concerned. The only "outsider" Is Morris J. Oraham. the coxswain, who Is registered at the university from Eugene, Ore.

LORD OF OYLMPICS Around the Olympic vlllsge st Los Angeles they have already nom inated and elected Lord David Burghley. the British team's cap tain, as the No. 1 sportsman of the Olympic show; From the moment he arrived "Da- vey" captivated the crowds, the newspapermen snd the athletes he met for the first time, besides re newing old acquaintances with the personal charm that has made him Internationally-, popular. Somehow he seems to typiiy the real aplrlt of the Olympics. The Olympic 400-meter hurdles champion laughed when reminded of the first race he ever ran at this distance In the 193a Perm relays. "You know, by Jove." he grinned I didn't know I was going to run that race until 10 minutes before It started. I was the most surprised of all when t von It." PORTLAND CASH PORTLAND.

Feed grains were barely steady under a continued dull de mand. Current offerings remained of only moderate volume, but the sea son's prospective large supplies of corn, oats aud barley, were a depres sing influence. Bye strengthened with wheat, while flax advanced slightly despite a quiet crusher demand. Crop prospects remain a dominant factor In the general wheat market situation. Winter wheat outturns in the U. 6. are now fair!y definitely known, but the outcome of the spring wheat crop is still uncertain. Private estimates as of Aug. 1, fore cast a crop of spring wheat In the U. 8. of around 275.000,000 bushels or about 30.000.000 leas than the July official forecast. Such an outturn If realized would be about 170,000.000 bushel more than last season's har vest. Private estimate place the Canadian wheat crop this season at around 450,000,000 bushels or ab&ut 150.000.000 bushels larger than the 1931 crop. - The Canadian crop suf fered materially from hot. dry weath- during July and rain is sUU ur- h"tf, m fL ""10ns - Uri., Vi i a v (1 1 .svn lu wheat harvesting will soon be gen era!

Pressing Fatal At Water Holes r row x HIH& OTP J V - f 7 ZS BALLS vu -r IT IN Dtef Br Joluiny f'arrell (As Told to Artie McGovern) -Gee I this would be a swell course If It didn't have so many water hazards I lose an average of two balls on every round!" How to overcome this fear of get ting your ball Into the water? It Is purely a matter of developing con fidence. Few water hazards off the tee are more than 100 yards carry, yet we frequently find a golfer who can drive ISO yards on a bole where there la no hazard, continually put ting his ball In .the lake. The chief trouble lies In pressing . nil Mliln. .h. )uH T?l onltor !wno has developed the water hazard complex, is Inclined to hit the ball harder, and Is so anxious to see If bis ball has carried the lake, that be raises his bad too quickly. Ypa can easily overcome your fear by considering It as Just an other tee shot. 'Take a dozen or two old balls out to the water hole. Keep your head' down and swing without pressing, and youll have no difficulty clearing the lake.

Trading In Egg ; Market Steady To Firm Today PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 8 UV-Trading In the egg market today generally continued steady to firm locally. Pri vate reports from California Indicated a fairly steady tone there. Further decrease In the butter make was reported by local churn re. Cen tralized output hss been decreasing steadily during the past ten days or so. Demand for all scores Is up to the supply. Butterfat remains firm.. The week's opening showed little price change In the chicken market. The only slow movers were colored broilers. Demand for turkeys remains at low ebb. The tomato market experienced a setback with rather liberal supplies from Yakima and the Columbia river territory. Lower values were general. Extremely slow trade was reported in the peach market. Prices general ly were weak to lower. Prices for country killed meats were unchanged to firm. Lemon prices advanced sharply. ' Pickling cucumbers were In - fair supply but there was little demand.' Cantaloupes showed a very sharp decline with the losses forced by ex treme weakness at Takima and Wap- ato. Quality head lettuce Is. scarce and prices higher. . . ' Artichokes - from California . are available but the demand la light. - Green beans and peas are very weak. HOME LOAN BANK BOARD TO MEET (Contlnuea tram rag Qn) That constituted, one of their im mediate and essential, tasks. There was some discussion of, th tWefye cities where federal reserve banka operate. The fact that these pUcea already are recognized financial cen ters drew some comment. But that fact alone, it was Indicated, would not be the only one considered. Then, too. should the director! de cide to establish only eight banks at first, at least four of the federfU reserve cities would have, to .Jpe passed up. ", . Other problems confront them. They will give some con&lderstlo'n to men available to head the eleven directors of each of .the system bantu. They will think about the minimum capitalization of each bank, which under the law must be $5,000,000. Larger institutions are likely' to be set up in some places... :,y :. 24 STOCKS THAT COST $96 JUNE 7 ' NOW WORTH $169 (Continued from Page One) ; $96. In 1929, at their "highs," the 24 common shares would have cost 2,598. V :- The 24 single shares were pasted together In a large ornate frame. The "picture np artist can paint", was then photographed and prints mailed to the financier's close friends. - "These photographs will be his torical some time," he wrote, "be cause they will prove the point I have been trying to make: that pes simism can get out of bounds; that the economio life of this country is not exunct and that confidence lit the progress of trade and industry Is bound to return." -... At Saturday's closing prices the "examples of depreciation" showed a total market value of 1S9, or a prof It of 73 on the transaction. The shares, at the prices paid by the banker, showed a depreciation of 96 per cent from the top quotations In 1929. .. ... "This must not. be - taken as en incentive to speculation," the fin ancier warned. "But It does go .to show that being down does not al ways mean being out, and that there are Investment opportunities as great todAy as heretofore.
