GEN. SALE MAY RUN
FOR VA. GOVERNOR
Has Said Nothing of Can
didacy, But Probably viii
Take Nomination, Is Said.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch TO The star.
RICHMOND, Va, August H.
Quietly but actively the friends of
Gen. William W. Sale have been at
work for some weeks in his behalf
in connection with the nomination
for governor to succeed Gov. Trinkle.
This movement was made known to
Gen. Sale a few weeks ago, but he
declined to give encouragement TO
them at this time, saying there is a
campaign on. and that the people
must wait A long time before they
VIII be called on to render their
choice for the nomination. AS a
matter of fact. Cen Sale would not
refuse the nomination were 1t to be
rendered him. but the fact that other
gentlemen have been mentioned for
the race, and one of them--a close
friend of Gen. Sale--is already in
the field forces him to consider the
matter from all angles.
There is reason to believe that
Gen. Sale and other possibilities will
be careful in the matter of making
formal announcement. for the rea-
son that there is no disposition to
have third man come in at the last
moment and to win nomination by
a minority vote. The friends of all
the candidates want to guard against
any Such an outcome, ana IL Is De
Heved that a parley of the men who
have desire to get the best poSsi-
nle and most available man to make
the race will be held and that there
Will be a concentration on one man
to stand for the nomination.
Sales Position Strong.
On the other hand. however. if
there shall be a multiplicity of candi-
dates it may be that the bars will be
thrown down and the fighting made
fast and furious. 1t is contended by
friends of Gen. Sale that he has more
elements of strength than any OF
those who have been mentioned. He
has served for years in the senate.
he has served three terms as adjutant
general, he is a lawyer and he is a
farmer. His record as adjutant gen.
eral is one of the best in the history
of the state, and should he agree to
enter the contest he would have the
militia of the state as nucleus for
perfecting an organization.
Gen. Sale was asked regarding the
matter. and while he discussed the
subject in a sort of informal way, he
failed to indicate what he might do
in event his friends insist on forcing
him into the contest, but he did say
that he was much gratitied at the
way his friends had approached him
and rendered their support.

FALLS CHURCH.

FALLS CHURCH, Va, Augustt11.-
At it's August meeting the Falls
Church Citizens Association adopted
4 resolution, reported from the COM
mittee on, streets, sidewalks and
shade trees, requesting the town
council to take steps as soon as pos
sible to widen Washington street for
it's entire length through the corpor-
alton. Washington street Is the route
of Lee Highway through Falls Church
and the proposal for widening 1t
looks to future heavy traffic when
the highway Is completed westward
to connect with the Valley Pike at
New Market.
Other recommendations to the Goun-
ell were as follows:
That until Washington street is
widened an ordinance be passed at
once limiting the parking of vehicles
to one side Of the street and the stop
ping, even temporarily Of vehicles on
the opposite side of a stopped or
parked vehicle unless there is ssuf-
ficient room between the two: We
hicles to pass abreast
That the streets be cleaned of rub
bish and debris periodically and the
present unsightly. dead trees and
limbs be removed and the necessary
trimming of shade trees be done un-
der expert supervision.
That the public dump be removed
to more secluded spot thaa at
present and the present unsightly
condition be remedied by covering of
earth.

ted expressing sorrow at the death of

CRIQUI HAS PUNCH,
HE SHOWS EXPERTS

NEW YORK, May 24-Boxing ex-
perts were variously impressed with
their first professional view yester-
day Of Eugene Criqui, European
featherweight champion, who will at
tempt to. take the world title of the
division away from Johnny Kilbane
Of Cleveland at the Polo Grounds
June 2.
The Frenchman, using sparring
partners who came from France with
him, disclosed hitch in his right
cross that the experts concluded
would be easy picking for a lightning
thrust that the kilbsne of yore had.
But whether the Kilbane of 1928 has
the same rapidity Of punch is doubted
by them.
The experts, however, found that
the Frenchman had a punch for his
sparring mates. Both left the ring
with blood streaming from their
noses.
