NEXT WEEK

When play starts forth on Mon
day in the National singles cham
pionship in the tennis world at
the Germantown Cricket Club, out
side of Philadelphia, the greatest
field in point of quality that has
ever chased the American laurels
will swing into action. The limiting
of the field has cut the numbers
down below any limit of past years.
but this has served to bring up
the quality so that there will be
sensational action right from the
start Of things.
The very first day will bring
forth some matches that might we'll
be classed as those, say, in the
round before the semi-final in the
years gone past. Some Of the stars
will be graphing on outside courts
in matches that would have bees
placed inside of the grand stands
in the old days.
Take the opening day, for in
stance. William T. Tilden, the Ma
tional champion, faces Watson
Washburn, former member Of Davis
Cup teams and a member of the
first ten. In the old days this would
have been a feature match, even
though the champion Ia never
taken off the feature courts. And in
the same quarter Jacques Brugnon
Of France faces Fukuda of Japan
in a match that would be a feature
in any tourney. In the second quar-
ter Leon de Turenne, the North.
west star, faces Brian I. c. Norton,
the colorful British colonial.
In the third quarter Howard
Kinsey faces Schlesinger of the
Australian Davis Cup and in the
fourth Peck Griffin plays Reno La
coste, the young French star. And
these are only few Of the matches
that start off the tourney-tust
first round matches. but what a
taste Of what is to come.

SANDLOT RACES
NEAR SNAPPY
FINISH
American Legion and PetWorth
Will Settle Feud in Com
ing Week.
By r. d. THOMAS.

Sandlot baseball is dying hard
this fall, but the end may come In
one grand, agonizing fit.
The symptoms are plainly ap-
parent today. Only one section in
the unlimited division of the Wash
ington championship series has
turned out a winner. The Mohawks
await the end of races in the two
other sections. They will be de-
cided in the coming week.
Section C is wrestling with a
triple deadlock. The PhilS, Milans,
and ComforterS must fight it out.
Legion and Petwroth teams are in
a bitter struggle, which will result
before long in something more than
ordinarily interesting.
A triple tie looms In the Airing
ton county series. A victory for
Cherrydale over. Carlin Spring to-
morrow will make a thick knot in
the standings.
Today the WaverIy team will
play a dOubIcheader in the junior
series play-Off, meeting Mt. Pleas
ant team at 2 p. m. and the War.
wicIs at $50 o'clock at Union
Park. Northeast Washington fans
have been awaiting the Waverly-
Warwick game with keen interest.
Both are northeast teams.
Tomorrow comes several impor-
tant contests. The Waverly and
Linworth seniors will meet at
Washington Barracks in the oLcn-
ing contest Of their series for the
senior chr mpionship. Also the
Warwicks and Mt. Peasants will
clash in the junior play-off at Union
Park.
At Arlington the Cherrydale and
Carlin Spring teams will play, after
which Arlington and Rosslyn will
leap at each others threats in the
play-off Of q tie for first place.
Every fan in Arlington county, Va,
has a wild baseball appetite for
the fray.
In Prince Georges county, Md.
the Prince Georges A. A. and the
Clinton team will battle on the
Maryland Park diamond. Each has
won q game. Tomorrow's winner
will be in line to tackle Mt. Rainier
for the county championship.
In truth, tomorrow will be a big

Won1anS Party VIII Take Firm
Stand ON Rights at July 10 Farley
By MARIAN HALE,
.FEA SerUice STAFF Writer

AT EW YORK, July 16.-"How
much longer will women
wait for iberty?"
The National Womans Party asks
this question and expects to answer
it at the Seneca Falls conference,
beginning July 10, celebrating the
seventy-fifth anniversary Of the
first woman's rights convention in
America.
"At this first convention" Alice
Paul. vice president of the party,
explains, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and other feminists of
the day made it plain they were not
asking privileges but demanding
rights.
They demanded equality in mar
riage. industry, education, political
Office. accepted moral standard; in
the church. in the professions, the
guardianship of children and in con-
tract and property rights.
To-day, after three-quarters of a
century, the realization of these
ideals is not much nearer than the
old solution about the woman's soul.
Equality has not been obtained in
America in any Of the respects emu
merated.
The woman's party believes wom-
en- should take a stand for absolute
equality, and that an amendment
to the Constitution should be made
providing that men and women shall
have equal rights throughout the
United States and in every place
subject to its Jurisdiction.
One meeting of the conference
will be devoted to an anniversary
pageant, prepared by Hazel Mack
