ADDED Mickey’s Moving Day CUBS-YANKEES [Big Trap Shont * 'LOOK SET FOR Held This Month; WORLD SERIES $30,000 in Prizes Giants Given Best Chance! Trophies and Other Valu- to Upset—Red Sox Vic- | able Awards Are Also tory Row to Thirteen to Be Determinel | Nine- (By Associated Press) All over the baseball map they're climbing aboard the bandwagon for a Yankee-Cub World Series; which looks like a good guess. There are lots of applecarts that yet may be upset, but right now, none of them are in sight. The Giants, who have the habit of riding along within shooting distance until the last few weeks, then going to town, look like the best bet. The Giants’ pitchers, who were collapsing at the rate of one a day "less than two weeks ago, must have gotten shots in the arms, the way they have been per- forming lately. Bill Terry’s club has a long way to go though, as the Cubs have a five and one-half game lead, after taking a double-header from the Bees. The Giants got an even break with the Pirates. The Yanks are nine and one- half games ahead in the American Joop, despite a pitching staff that! is shot full of holes. There’s noth- ing wrong with their hitters though, and they look like a cinch. The Red Sox are in second place after having stretched their current un- defeated run to thirteen. — e Softhall Teams Meet, Evergreen Buwllhis Even, Miners and All-Stars Slated to Open Regular Sec- ond-Week Schedule Tonight at 7 o'clock, in Evergreen' Bowl, the local softball league will try again to get its regular season under way, after having to post- pone all its clashes because of rain, though all four teams did manage to play off their practice bouts be- fore the torrent descended. Tonight’s battle picks up the soft-| ball schedule at the opening of the third week, and opposes the Alaska Juneau and Evergreen Bowl AllStar teams. The dope would seela to favor the Miners, if they are on hand in full force. They appear to pack a little too much heft and power for the younger team. e SAWMILL IS IN OPERATION The familiar whistle of the Ju- neau sawmill was again heard this morning as operations were resum- ed after several weeks' shutdown. The planing plant has been in op- eration but general resumption of operations only started this morn- ing as there are plenty of logs on hand for cutitng. ———.——.—— A factory in Liverpool, England plans to manufacture rubber boots for sheep to protect them against “foot rot.” | DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 9 teen North American shotgun cham- | pionships and the destination of| approximately $50,000 in cash, tro-! phies and other valuable awards will be determined during the Ggand' American Tournament, scheduled at Vandalia Field, near this city,| according to the official program' just released by the Amatelr Trap- shooting Association, the sport’s | governing body. { he 38th annual tournament,| which is the world series of trap-| shooting to every gun-pointer, is scheduled August 23 to 27, inclusive, Every state, every Canadian pro-| vince, the Canal Zone and Mexico will be represented among the 1100/ “claybusters” expected to partici-| pate in this year'’s shoot.

Jean Harlow, Willlam Powell, Myrna Loy, and Spencer Tracy unite their exceptional acting ability in one of the most entertaining films of recent years, a drama with a newspaper angle that is as eye- catching and modern as the current headlines on the Front Page. The action o fthe piece centers about a socity girl who considers that a newspaper has treated her with irreverence and files a damage suit for five million dollars. Need- less to say, the sued newspaper is thrown into an uproar and its man- aging editor solicits the aid of a for- mer star reporter to extricate the paper from its difficulties. In his scheme to make the heiress drop her suit the reporter succeeds in making her fall in love with him, It is when he, in turn, falls in love with her that complications begin and the tale takes an unexpected and hilarious turn.
