YANKS LOSE TO SENATORS, 4-3 New York, Aug. 14 (LP) The American league pennant race crys talled into a situation today where the chief concern of the Washing ton Senators seemed to be which National league club would meet them in the world scries. As the Senators and New York Yankees headed into' the west, Washington with six straight vic tories enjoyed a five and a half game lead over the Yanks and showed no signs of slumping, while the New Yorkers were playing un certain baseball with seven defeats In 11 starts. The Senators made it 12 wins in 19 meetings with the Yanks this season by beating them, 4 to 3. They got 12 hits off Russell Van Atta and scored four runs in the third, fourth, and fifth frames. A first Inning parade of 11 runs at the expense of Cain, Coombs and Oliver, enabled Boston to trounce th Philadelphia A's, 19 to 10. Cleveland gained on the Athletics by taking both ends of a double header from St. Louis, 5 to 3, and 3 to 2. Detroit shaded Chicago, 6 to 5. In the National league, the third place Chicago Cubs eained ground by beating second place Pittsburgh, 3 to 2, while the leading New York Giants bowed to Philadelphia, 2 to 1.

D'CESPEDES TO WORK FOR PEACE fCopyrlBht. 1833. by United Press Havana, Aug. 14 (LP) Peace and prosperity for Cuba without parti san politics are the concern today of Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, new president of Cuba, he said in an interview with the United Press. Less than . 5 feet tall, with gray hair and close clipped moustache and tortoise shell glasses, the new president was a contrast to his heavy set, forceful predecessor as he ceased work on his cabinet list to discuss his hopes and aims. "The people of Cuba desired the reestablishment of normal condi tions."hc said. "They have called me into office, and desiring to help my country I accepted. I am con fident I shall receive the support of all Cubans." "I am confident we shall put aside political divisions at this mo ment and work together to form the real and independent nation which the founders of the republic desired," he said. I know the United States suf ficiently after eight years as am bassador at Washington to feel that I can count fully on the normal support of American public opinion and the United States government in critical moments, which I am certain will pass soon. "Cuba is very especially interest ed in reaching the economic un derstanding now being discussed, and In the absolute necessity of re turning the country to prosperity. "I am sure we shall succeed in adjusting our commercial relations to the greater benefit of both coun tries."

S. Kcene, state chair man, who directed the proceedings In the south, has returned to his home here. The entire scries was marked by good sportsmanship by all concerned. Coach Kcene states, an on only one occasion did the spectators express themselves as dissatisfied with a decision of the umpiring force. The season from last spring through the summer found greater cooperation among the posts represented and conse quently little dissension, the coach added. The state legion appropriated approximately $600 with which to finance the Woodburn team in its journey to Pocatello, Idaho for the northwest scries. This amount is expected to cover the bare 'neces sities of the trop and It Is hoped a purse can be raised through do nations from the fans to meet in cidental expenses of the individual players. The winner of the Pocatello tour nament will proceed immediately to Topeka, Kan., for the semi-finals. Owing to lack of finances the team will be compelled to travel by bus from Pocatello to Topeka, Coach Kecne states. Boy Is Uninjured In Four-Story Fall Chicago, (LP) Little Donald Rea mer, aged 3, will probably be a para chute jumper when he grows up.

He was sitting on the sidewalk, apparently unhurt. Examination at a hospital later showed his worst hurt was the loss of several front teeth. GRAfWGfmiir WOODBURN TALLIES Woodburn Grant high of Port land, the American Legion junior baseball club which placed second to the Woodburn juniors at Klam ath Falls last Friday, will have an opportunity for revenge Tuesday, since the two clubs will meet on the Portland Vaughn street diamond next Tuesday afternoon. However, the game means nothing except a chance to clear a little money to assist In sending Woodburn to Pocatello for the northwest series. The box score of the final came reveals that Grant outhit Wood- burn, fi to 5. Salstrom. Woodburn short stop, and Milliard, Grant pitcher, led with the stick, each getting two hits. Bevens will probably be started against Grant Tuesday since he seems to require a great deal of work to keep In condition. The team will leave Wednesday night for Pocatello. Seattle will repre sent Washington in the playoff while Pocatello won the Idaho state championship. Montana is the fourth state to be represented. Woodburn's box score of Friday's game: AB R II Voget, c 3 1 0 Coleman, 2b 3 1 l Salstrom, ss 4 0 2 Nicholson, cf 4 0 0 Bonney, rf 4 0 oj Gant. lb 4 0 0 Battleson, If 3 0 1 Oberst, 3b 2 0 0 Henny, 3b 0 1 0 Bevens, p 4 2 1 Seattle, Aug. 14 (LP) Two robbers tortured an elderly man for six hours last night and early today at his home in an effort to make him tell where his money was hidden. After tying their victim, M. A. Storm, with hankerchiefs they de parted and took $2 from his pockets. Storm said he was reading when two men entered his home last night. One struck him on the head. His hands and feet were tied and they fashioned a garrote from a handkerchief. "They would turn the knot, tight ening the hankerchief, until I could scarcely breathe and everything would turn black," Storm told po lice.. 'I thought they were going to kill me. "Every few minutes one of the men wearing brass knuckles would strike me in the face. I kept in sisting all my money was in the bank. "One of the men wanted to burn my feet with lighted cigarets, but the other one wouldn't let him. I lost consciousness several times, but they slapped my face and kept me awake. Finally they left at 3 a. m." It was two hours before Storm said he could free himself and call police. He believes the men over heard him talking at a gasoline filling station. He had told the op erator he was going to bury all his money instead of keeping it in a bank.

HUKlEDSPLAY NESKOWIN GOLF The recently completed golf course at Neskowin was given a vigorous workout Saturday and Sunday when hundreds of people, including many from Salem and Portland, journeyed to the coast resort to try their luck over the new lay out. The resort gave the appearance of having been turned over to Salem for an "old home week" celebration. In fact so many visitors were in the little set tlement that many slept in their cars while two or three raised a window of the golf club house and spent the night within its shelter. The course for the time being will be open to the public without charge. A new record for the course was established Sunday by Graham Sharkey who shot a 33 for the first round, three under the old mark. He made the second in 36 for a net 69. Bracing atmospheric conditions made playing pleasant and many engaged in 36 holes without becom-, ing tired. j It is predicted the new layout will 1 add considerably to the drawing; power of Neskowin as a coast resort, j I'm spoiled' how for amy car BUT (jtfyuuvjtf Myt) A CERTIFIED INTIRVIEW WITH OFFICER HARVEY HAYES, DELAWARE STATE POLICE STATION No. 2, WILMINGTON, DELAWARE jjSjailfc!!!'' J'UJv' SARAZEN CHAMPION FOR THIRD TIME Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 14 (fP)- Perched on the national professional golf championship throne for the third time, Gene Sarazen grinned one of his wide victory smiles today and chuckled. "A washed up golfer, eh?" he mut tered as he scanned accounts of his par-breaking victory march which ended yesterday with a 5 and 4 con quest over the stout hearted Willie Goggin of San Francisco in the fin als of the championship drive over the Blue Mound Country club course. "No sir, not by a long ways. I'm just getting hot." Sarazen's remarks were directed at his old pal of golf. Tommy Ar mour, who called him a "washed up" golfer in a blast that preceded the 1933 championship tournament and ultimately helped to make it one of the most successful ever staged. OLD POSTERS RECALL DAYS HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY Gates Miss Audrey Johnson was hostess recently at her home, the occasion being her 13th birthday anniversary. Guests were Miss Nova Lyndes of Salem, Mr. Taylor of Mill City, Miss Gwen Johnson, Royal They called them "Sparring exhi bition" and "grand scientific spar ring exhibitions" in the early 90s. Digging through a box of souv enirs, John H. Farrar, Salem post master recently unearthed two yel lowed handbills which brought back memories of ring battles as they were conducted during the fall of 1891. Although it is likely there were just as many bloody noses and the force behind the gloved fists had just as much kick as at present, pub lic opinion had not be educated to the point where it was thought pro per for two men to maul each other, so prize ring engagements were billj ed as "grand sparring exhibitions." The first exhibition was booked for armory hall on the evening oi Oct. 23, 1891 with Redely Brcnnan of Strcator, 111., "the lightweight wonder who has fought 24 battles and winner of 23." This fistic mar vel had for his opponent for "10 rounds of scientific sparring" no other than Billy Layan, "the clever lightweight, late of the Salem base ball club." The dodger doesn't say whether there were any prelimi naries or not, merely stating there would be "assistance by local ath letes." Admission for the perform ance was 50 cents. Pencilled on the back of the dod ger is the word "draw," indicating the home boy made good. Five days later Brcnnen was matched with Bert Lynch, the lat tar champion lightweight of the coast. No notation was made on the back of the handbill advertising this attraction so we are left in the dark as to its outcome. This affair was held in the "real estate sample room3. ' Evidently they had depres sions in those days too, for admis sion to the second encounter slump ed to two bits. The handbills were merely state ment of facts and have little in com mon with the placards and litho graphs of the circus type which are in vogue now.
