the BWlnvnlntf champtonahtp reckon
ing to the sturdy sons of Nippon,
Japan- reached for Its first Olympic
team title today in the finals of the
International aquatic carnival.
Three Individual titles remained to
be decided, but there appeared a lack
of American talent sufficient to turn
back the Insistent threat of the smil
ing, courageous navigators of the Far
East. -
United States had the promise of
an almost certain victory In the men's
high platform Ulvlng. but the hand
writing, for the 1500 meter free style
and 200 meter breast stroke finals
prospect was In bold Oriental char
acters. To the Yankees It was the hand
writing on the wall. It meant that

Dodgers Now In
Pennant Picture
In Older League
ny Herbert W. Barker
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Max Carey's Brooklyn Dodgers have
become formidable contenders for the
National league pennant.
Triumphant In 16 of their last 20
games, the Dodgers today rested In
third place, three games back of the
second place Pittsburgh Pirates and
only three and a half games behind
the pace-setting Chicago Cubs.
- What makes the Dodger streak
more remarkable Is that they have
won without consistent pitching. In
the 20 games only eight times has the
starting pitcher remained for the fin
ish. Timely hitting, especially by
Lefty O'Doul,. and effective relief
pitching have . contributed to the
spurt.
There waa" nothing wrong with Bill
Clark's pitching yesterday, however,
as the Dodgers blanked the New York
Giants, 1-0. Clark gave up only four
hits. His mates collected 12 but made
only one run as the giants completed
six double plans and equalled the
major league record.
Chuck Klein hit two home runa.
his 34th and 36th of the season,
and drove in five runs as the Phillies
trounced the Boston Braves. 8-1.
In the American league, the Cleve
land Indians moved Into a tie with
the Philadelphia Athletics for second
place by beating Detroit, 3-1, while
the A's were dropping' a 2-1 decision
to the Boston Red Sox.
Ivy Paul Andrews broke the Red
Sox' lt-game losing streak as h held
the A's to five hit and fanned eight
men, Simmons three times.

TO GIVE AMERICA'S BOY STAR
A PICTURE FOR ADULTS. TOO!
. Not in all the history of motion pictures has there appeared a boy
' star with the genius of Jackie Cooper! You've seen him in pic
tures with a distinct appeal to younger people. He has been
remarkable. Now you will see him in a picture which has a
dramatic message for adults as well as young folks. His trials.
. his joys, his laughs are all of our own as we know them in Life.
Andhis superb victory-iOver odds is our victory. The combina- ,
