WEST END.

In ''The Heart of a Chi1d,'' a spe- cial production adapted from Frank Danby's novel of the same name, Ma zimova comes to the screen of the West End theatre tonight in a role that is different from any of the wide variety of characters she has por- trayed so marvelously in previous triumphs.
 It is that of Sally Shape, an Eng fish girl from the slum streets of London who finds herself orphaned at the most critical period of her life, and left to face alone, without any other aid than her unsophiStication, the struggle of maintaining the worlds respect.
 In her support is an exceptionally able cast with Charles Bryant, adapt CT of the novel to the screen as Lord kidderminster; Ray Thompson, Nell Newman, Victor Potel, Eugene klum, Claire Du Brey, Jane Sterling John Stepping, William J. Irving and Myrtle Risbell.

DRASTIC ACTION FOR
 JUMPING PLAYERS

The action of Eastern League play CTS in jumping their signed contracts to play in the Steel League, has led the national board of the minors or- ganiza ton to issue warning s6 se- were action to be tA3Aa Notice has gone out through Secretary Far Tell that all jumping players who faiI to return to the clubs they are un- der contract to on or before June 1 will be barred from filing action for reinstatement for a period of five years, while players who continue to ignore reservation rights of their clubs beyond that date will be barred for three years. The national board and not the indiviuad1 club will act on these applications and impose con- ditions and penalties, so there will be no chance for leniency on the part of a kindly disposed club. There seems to he two centers of so-ca1led "out- law operations that are drawing minor league players, one being the Steel League, the other In Idaho, where several small independent leagues are operating as semi-indus- trial organizations. Since the season opened for the minors almost daily reports have come of players jump ing contracts. The warning given, which means in effect that the offend ing players will be barred from or ganMed ball for years, IS expected to cause some of them to return to their obligations.

It is a play out of the ordinary, solving problems that have and do worry the minds of girls contemplating matrimony. It is mys- terious-containing pathos and a very strong vein of comedy, holding you in its mysterious grip until the final drop of the curtain.

FRENCH BOXERS NOT
 MATCH FOR TANKS

Speaking of French boxers brings to mind a two round slaughter which took place at McDonoghville, La. eleven years ago. A Frenchman. Henri Piet- a lightweight cham pion of the land of win rouge. was the victim, and Ad Wolgast played the role of s1aughterer. Wolgast played with the French champ for one round but in the second he decided that he'd like to get home early that night, so he laced into poor Piet A bone-crushing hook in the stomach followed by a right swing to the jaw and Piet sought peace with the world on the mat And so it seems to be with all Frenchmen when they clash with fighters from this side of the water.

ARGENTINA TO KEEP CONTROL
 OF PETROLEUM

BUENOS AIRES; Sept. (by Asso. ciated Press). Argentina has refused British offer of 91O,O00,OO0 for the control of the governments petroleum producing properties, maintaining it's traditional attitude of guarding these deposits for the benefit of the nation. The offer was made by Frederick White, representing the Cowdray in- terests.
 While the governments petroleum fields at Comodoro Rivadavia are pro- ducing approximately 100000 tons of petroleum annually, the fuel shortage in the nation has given rise to agita- tion for more extensive development. A dispatch from London quotes Mr. White as explaining that President 1rigoyen expressed himself as anxious for increased production, but that he was unwilling to see the exploitation taken out of the hands of the Argen- tine people.
 Other offers for these fields have been refused in the past, including offers from North American promot- CTS.

HEBREWS CELEBRATE BE-
GINNING OF NEW YEAR

Local Hebrews on Monday of
this week observed the festival of
Rosh Hashanah, or New Year
Like all Jewish holy days, the fes-
tlval began at sunset of the pre-
ceding day and lasted for two
days.
This festival is the first of a
series of holidays lasting nearly a
month. 1t is also the beginning
OF the year in the Jewish calendar.
Its principal feature is the blow
ing of the Shophar, or rams horn.
The blowing of the Shophar plays
the most important part in the
service of the day. 1t is to remind
us of our sins. 1t is to be the
speaking conscience, condemning
our transgressions. After the
services it is customary to con-
gratulate each other by saying:
MAY you be inscribed for a good
year" Thus the New Years Day
speaks of human destiny, human
hope, and has nothing narrow
about it. It's traditions and GUS
toms are sublime.

A bitter fight was waged over
the nomination of Representative
When it took four ballots to de-
eide the contest. New Castle coun-
ty fought hard for the nomination
OF Thomas F. Gormley, former
State Senator, while Kent county
was almost solidly back of Mr..
Clements, and Sussex county tried
hard to elect woman, Mrs. Eta
Gray Jones, of Bridgeville. Mrs.
Jones obtained the large part of
the Sussex vote on the first ballot
and held her own until the third
ballot, when Mr.. Clements began
to win over former ballots.
While two candidates for Gov
ernor were placed in nomination
from New Castle county, Ezekiel
cooper, cashier of the Farmers
Bank, of Wilmington, and Thomas
r. Bayard, also of Wilmington.
both names were withdrawn after
Sussex county had placed Mr..
Lynch in nomination and Lvnch
was named by acclamation.
The fight of the convention CEN
tered around the resolution pre-
sented by Frank H. Dejanvier, of
wilmington, calling for greater
representation for New Castle
county by increasing it's number
of delegates from sixty-fve to
ninety, while leaving Kent and
Sussex counties with sixty dele
gates as now allotted.
AS soon as the resolution was
presented motion was made to
table it for two years. Because of
the tumult and confusion in tabu-
latlng the vote, a second vote was
ordered. That motion was lost.
At that point the New Castle
delegation, or the greater part of
it, threatened to leave the conven-
tion hall. A motion to reconsider
the vote was then put and carried,
granting the resolution asked for.
With that contention settled,
the platform was read and adopte-
ed. 1t indorsed the national plat
form adopted at San Francisco,
strongly commended the record of
Senator Wolcott, accepted the
declaration in the platform of the
Republican party of Delaware
that the League of Nations is the
paramount issue before the Amer
lean people at this time and set
forth the position of the party in
it's stand as defined in the League
of Nations; indorsed the planks in
the national Democratic platform,
as suggested by the National
League of Women Voters, relating
to child labor, and expressed SYM
pathy with the people of the Irish
nation.
