CATS PURR ~
AFTER WIN
Snyder Leadership Said To
Aid Kittens In Pen- 4
nant Climb
Hr GAYLE TALBOT, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
If there was any further doubt
that the acquisition of Frank Snyder
as manager has made a pennant
contending club out of the Fort
worth Kittens, it would seem to
have been removed by events of the
Vveek-end.
■ What was heralded as a crucial
Series at Shreveport has been turned
into a rout of the Phelanites, and
the Cats today stood at the top of
the heap alongside the Waco Cubs,
who likewise found the San Antonio
entry to their taste. One game re
mained to be played in each series
today. „ ..
Yesterday’s twin killing of the
Sports marked the Panthers’ fifth
win in six starts against two clubs
regarded as the most powerful in
the loop, they having taken two out
cf three from the Spudders. It also
marked the fourth straight series
which the Cubs have put on the
right Bide of the ledger. Both clubs
apparently are deadly in earnest
about this second half.
It took four Cat twirlers to defeat
the Sports in the first game of their
Sunday bargain bill, 9 to 7. Wilbur
Cooper had the Felines puzzled until
the seventh, when they hopped on
him for six runs. They drove him
from the hillock with two more in
the eighth. The second tilt was a
pitchers duel, in which Buzz Phillips
. shaded Williamson. 1 to 0.
Caldwell and Harris gave spark
ling mound performances as the
Cubs trounced the Tribe twice, 8
to 3 and 7 to 1. Caldwell limited
the Braves to five, hits in the first
and was helped along by Bob San
guinet, who poled his twenty-fourth
and twenty-fifth home runs.
Five thousand fans crammed
Stuart Stadium to see the Exporters
take their second straight from the
Buffs, 8 to 3. The Shippers found,
Paul Wachtel an open book and de
lighted the populace with 14 hits.
The downtrodden Steers squarred
their series with the Spuds, 6 to 3,
after an early attack that drove Milt
Steengrafe to the showers. Whltey
Glazner, crowned by a batted ball
in his last previous appearance
against the Oilers, came back to
hold the north countrymen to seven
raps. '_

NEGRO EXODUS
CAUSES RIFT
... r
Officials Differ As to Re
turn of 200 Blacks, Driven
From Town by Mob
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., July 15.
—(/P)—city and county officials
were at odds today over the possi
ble return of North Platte’s negro
population of 200, driven from the
city Saturday by a mob of 500 fol
lowing the slaying of a veteran po
lice officer by a negro he sought
to arrest.
Chief of Police James Dorran said
the negroes would be protected
when they came back to their
homes.
“We will do our best to prevent
violence,” he said, “but it may not
be .possible.”
County authorities looked on the
situation in a different light. Sher
iff A. J. Salisbury was quoted as
saying “it was the understanding
when they left that they were to
stay away. The idea is to keep
them out,” he said. One negro in
jail for a minor offense was released
by the sheriff's office and ordered
to leave town.
Threatened with death by lynch
ing. the negroes made a hasty ex
odus, with or without belongings.
The mob formed soon after See
man, negro police character, had
shot and killed Ed Green, veteran
patrolman and former acting chief
of police. Trapped in the base
ment of his chicken hut, which was
drenched with gasoline and then
set on fire, Seeman committed sui
cide.
Seeman had been ordered to leave
town, but returned Saturday.

Pilot To Try Again;
Pole Aviator Killed
HORTA, Azores, July 15.—(A*)—The first transatlantic air race has
ended in tragedy and failure, with the pilot of the Polish craft dead, its
navigator injured, and the plane destroyed. The French plane, its com
petitor, averted destruction only by turning tail and running before a
“wall of wind” into which it tried in vain to head.
Major Ludwik Idzkowski was*
killed Saturday evening when he at-1

Marshal Pilsudski, to earth on a
rocky field at Graciosa Island, 35
miles northeast of here.

WICHITA, Kas., July 15.—{&)—
Forced down' by a leaking oil line,
Lieut. Herbert J. Fahy failed yes
terday in his attempt to break the
transcontinental round trip one
stop flight record.
Fahy, who left Los Angeles at
1:06.52 a. m., yesterday, landed at
Kiowa, Kas.. at 8:45 a. m. He flew
here after he had dumped 200 gal
lons of his 400-gallon load of gaso
line. He said he would return to
Los Angeles in short stages and
prepare for another attempt to set
a new mark.
The pilot said he was flying
ahead of schedule when the leak in
the oil line developed shortly before
he reached Kansas. He had flown
832 miles between Los Angeles and
Taos, N. M., in four hours, 22 min
utes. he said, for an average speed
of 173 miles an hour.

Both were sanctioned by the 41st
legislature at its regular session and
passed on to the voters for final

the legislature created the six mem

while the commission may make

which took Idzikowski’s life and
wrecked the plane.
The French plane, the Question
Mark, after battling headwinds for
hours and finding fuel going and
speed cut to a third, turned back
at 6:18 p. m., Saturday (1:18 p. m.
E. S. T.) and at 9:27 a. m. yester
day (3:27 a. m. E. S. T.) landed
safely at Villacoublay, France, a
few miles south of Versailles.
“Don’t cheer, boys, we just missed
out, that’s all!” its pilot, Captain
Dieudonne Coste, conqueror of the
South Atlantic, told the few who
met him there. “But we will try
again, when the chances are more
in our favor.”
Captain Coste's landing came af
ter 27 hours and 55 minutes of fly
ing after the take-off at Le Bour
get at daybreak Saturday when he
chivalrously allowed the slower
Polish plane a 45-minute handicap
in the transoceanic race. At the
time of turning back he had flown
to a locality northeast of The
Azores about as near the American
Atlantic seaboard as to Europe.
The winds that blow from west to
east in mid-Atlantic cut his speed
from 125 miles per hour to less
than 50, and after trying vainly to
fly below them, he and his navi
gator, Jacques Bellonte, turned
their plane around and headed bad:
home, depressed and disgusted.
Idzikowski and Kubala struck the
same adverse hurricane which
Coste called a “wall of wind,” and
shortly afterward developed motor
trouble,, which compelled them to
ask for information about $ land
ing field. There is not a field for
land planes in all the Archipella^o.
Over their bad radio, the Poles
were directed to Brazileira. a field
on Gracosia Island, the most north
easterly of the central group of
five.
A witness of the tragedy said the
big gray plane swooped down over
as if seeking a spot to come down,
the island, making a few turns as
Natives, by gestures designated the
plot at Brazileira, and the plane
made for it.
But as it came closer to earth
over the field It wobbled into a
barrel roll, and a body was seen to
hurtle from it. In a moment the
plane touched the ground and there
was an ear-splitting explosion.
Kubala was picked up where he
had fallen, suffering from painful
but not severe injuries. The body
of Major Idzikowski was extricated
from the debris. Natives buried Id
zikowski’s body at 3 p. m.f yester
day^ Kubala is in a hospital said
to be not badly injured.
The plane burned after the two
aviators were removed. There was
some question as to the time of the
crash, but it appeared to have hap
pened between 7:30 p. m„ and 9:30
g- locaI time (3:20 and 5:30 E.
1 T;!’ Thus they spent something
less than 18 hours in the air.

Grain Problem
Faces Initial
Farm Body Meet
WASHINGTON, July 15.—(/P)—
Facing a serious wheat marketing
situation as the first test of their
ability, members of the new Federal
Farm Board assembled here today
to begin the task of solving the
American agricultural problem.
Created by a law which embodied
the views of President Hoover, and
, appointed by the chief executive af
ter an exhaustive study of available
agriculturists, the board was called
to hear a short address by Mr.
Hoover summing up the accom
plishments he expects of it, and to
begin its “collective thinking”
through an initial interchange of
views.
The members were also given
their first opportunity to become
personally acquainted, many of
them never having met before. Pro
bably the most generally known
within the group was Alexander H.
Legge, who resigned his position as
president of the International Har
yester company to become chair
man of the board and give it the
counsel of his experience in busi
ness and finance.
Problems of Tariff
Bill Get Attention
From Finance Group
WASHINGTON. July 15.—(VP)—
The senate finance committee turn
ed its attention to. the highly con
troversial administrative provisions
of the house tariff bill today while
the controversy between republicans
and democrats over various aspects
of the measure gained momentum
in other quarters.
The administrative provisions em
body the changes from the present
law voted by the house to facilitate
and expand presidential authority
to alter rates under the flexible
tariff clause. They are regarded as
comparable to the sugar schedule as
a potential source of prolonged con
troversy after the measure reaches
the senate.
Two subjects which have aroused
widespread discussion—the foreign
protests against various rate in
creases and the proposed 20 per cent
duty on boots and shoes—figured in
today's addition to the republican
| democratic tariff controversy.

FINAL ACTION
DUE ON BILLS
• “
Legislature Ready to Pass
Appropriations Agreed
To By Both Houses
AUSTIN, July 15.-04*)—Back at
their desks today, members of the
legislature were ready to act finally
on appropriation bills agreed by
conferees from the two houses and
to pass on suggestions advanced by
Governor Moody for protection of
excess school lands having potential
oil possibilities.
After three days’ deliberation
committees reached agreements on
the amounts to be appropriated for
state schools and departments of
government when it seemed a dead
lock could not be averted. A cut of
approximately $30,000 was made in
the former bill by eliminating build
ings proposed for A. & M. College
and John Tarleton Agricultural Col
lege of Stephenville, bringing the
bill to a total slightly under $16.
500,000.
Exact amount cut from the de
partmental bill could not be deter
mined immediately, chairmen of the
finance committees said. The meas~
ure. it was believed, was reduced be
tween $300,000 and $400,000. One of
the largest items cut from senate •
departmental bill was $125,000 for
each of the two years of the bi
ennium for purchase of property
near the Alamo in San Antonio.
Bills were expected to be intro
duced reserving from sale vacancies
created through improper surveys of
University-owned property in West
Texas. The governor pointed out in
his message uiat the land might be
bought on the basis of surface
value, despite the fact it was under
laid with oil or other minerals
