DEATH TOLL FROM
I SIZZLING HEAT IS
! ESTIMATED AT 100
CHICAGO, June 9, —The toll of
' dead reached 100 as the year’s first
1 severe heat wave entered its 120th
j hour in the Middle West.
Sizzling sun rays beat down
j over mo't of the area between
j the Rockies and the Appalachians.
Temperatures soared to record
: or near record heights. Business
men fell dead in the streets. Far
mers died of heat in their fields.
Suburbanites succumbed while
mowing lawns- The toll of lives at
bathing beaches was heavy.
Weather forecasters predicted
the heat wave would be of shorter
duration though more intense than
! the June wave which took more
| than 160 lives in 1932 and the all
, time record breaker which took
more than 1,500 lives in the sum
! mer of 1930.
! TALKED HIMSELF INTO
1 A PUNCH ON THE NOSE
NEW YORK, June 9.—Just be
fore the season started, the two
major baseball league presidents
made a stirring plea for more ag
gressiveness on the ball field, and
they have received enthusiastic re
sponse from the hired men and
! customers alike.
Fans in Washington and Cincin
nati are saying it with pop bot
tles. One first-class riot was stag
ed at the Capital, and numerous
feuds are raging.
The latest vendetta came to a
head in Cincinnati when »“Dizzy”
Dean, medicine man of St Louis
i Cardinals and leading exponent of
| the perpendiculer pronoun, talked
i himself into a punch on the nose.
| It was dedicated by Paul Derringer
but the fight was won by Vance of
the Cubs. Vance squelched both
belligerents by the simple method
of sitting on them until they
cooled off.
Derringer was sore at the Cards
for trading him to Cincinnati, and
his ire was roused further when
Dean declined to smile when call
ing him certain names. A shower
of pop bottles, one of which struck
a player, and the tjection of two
hired men from the premises, pro
vided additional excitement.

thing in the southern country was
fine except its baseball teams and
