COMMUNITY DRIVE OPENS MONDAY NOON
Prominent Men Give Their Views.
 On United Charities Plan

The general committee in charge Inf the United Community corporation which begins its annual drive for s50,- GOO next Monday. with a luncheon at the Burritt hotel has interviewed a number of prominent men throughout the city on their views on the com munity chest. These interviews are given as follows:
 Rev. J. Leo Sullivan: "A drive such as the United Community chest drive Is good barometer of the loyalty and public spirit of the community
 Dr. T. E. Reeks: 'The United Com munity drive is the finest stimulus We lave during the year to remember our l,0 fortunate fellow citizens. The money raised is widely used to relieve mental and physical suffering"
 A. c. kimball. president, Landers, Frary X Clark: "'rhe drive for funds for the United Community chest seems to be the most worthy and most im- portant of all civic enterprises and one in which most every man who Las n job can take some part. Every dollar subscribed brings a double re- turn for happiness-one to the giver and one to the beneficiary. Thus be- coming the most profitable investment clie can make.''
 Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa Tt is with pleasure that I siva my hearty en- dorsement to the United Community chest drive. I know of no one method by which so many charitable agencies can be benefited and at the same time spare the public the necessity of con tributins to a series of drives
 Rev. John l.. Davis: "I most heart fly endorse the United Community chest drive because it will be of much benefit to the younger citizens of New Britain"
 W. E. Atwood: "I believe that the attitude of every person toward the community drive. to support our or ganized charities and organizations for the welfare of our city's youth, should be one of pleasure. as well as duty to contribute for the less fortunate and under-priyileged in prportion to the

Argument Continued

with Will H. Hays. former na- tional chairman, waiting to testify about the story that party campaign seficit in 1920 had been partially paid oS with oil stock. the oil committee today continued it's argument over the plea presented by counsel for Harry F. Sinclair in an effort to have the operator excused from the witness stand.
 Sinclair with his array of counsel. was on hand early and sat chatting with his lawyers while the committee was getting the session under way. Hays came into the crowded commit tee room just before Chairman I.adtl rapped for order.
 At the outset Senator Walsh. the committee prosecutor, read from au- thorities to show that courts long have recognized tho power Of legfsla- tive bodies to compel the attendance of witnesses--a power denied yester, day by the Sinclair lawyers. The senator said he cited the precedents so that "any doubt that may have arisen in the public mind concerning the power of the committee might be dispelled."
 Senator Spencer. republican. Mis- souri. took the opposite view. He de clared doubt as to the right of con- gross to inquire into the affairs of private citizen merely for information which might or might not he help ful."

STEWARTS DROP
 ONE MORE PAIR
Hapless BarOns Swept Clean By Cellar
 Champs

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. l. The Little Rock series turned out to he a total loss for the Stewartless Bar ons who dropped both games of the fi- nal double-header here today, thereby losing their fifth straight to Kid FL berfeld's tailenders, the BarOns played poor ball throughout the series and suffered considerably because of weak pitching.
 The first game of today's pair was lost 6 to 3 with Lundgren working against Doe" Newton and having two bad innings early in the game. The second game, which was the continua- tion of the unfinished contest of the day before, was lost to ?. The Tray elers started that game with 3-tO-2 lead left over from the day before and added two runs by fifthinning at- tack on Red" Bates.
 The Barons gave the home crowd a mild scare in the ninth inning of the first game by loading the bases with only one out, but two runs was all that they could get over. They did force Newton to give up his place on the rubber, but that brought on Hal Mccall, we'll known Baron nemesis and tHe Tdlly WAS prdCtACdIlS ONcE WHeH Mccall went in.
 The second and third were Lund- gren's bad innings in each of which the Travellers scored three runs. They got seven of their. ten hits in these two rounds. Successive singles after two were out by Philbin, Michaels and Morrison and then NewtOn's double scored three in the second. In the third after Smith and Moore had sin gled to get on, Michaels hit home run.

CHINA DEFEATED
 BY AUSTRALIA

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Australia won the third and deciding point against China in the Davis cup tennis matches on the turf of the Crescent A. C., in Brooklyn today. Gerald L. Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood, the interna- tional veterans, clinched the first bat ties on the American zone series in this country by defeating w. Lock Wei and c. K. Huang, the Chinese stars in the doubles. The score was 6-1, 6-2, 60. The respective point totals were S5 and 34.
 The men from China offered spirited opposition. It was in the second set that they made their best stand. They held the Australians fairly even both coming frequently to the net. Wei did some pretty volleying, catching Patterson off guard for several points.
 Finding that the Chinese were stiffen- ing their game. Patterson and Wood forced the attack in the third set. The full power of their strokes was brought into action. Both of the Australians did some wonderful execution in this set, reeling six games in row.

HOWARD KINSEY LICKS. JOHNSON Pacific Champ In Great est Form To Win
 Thriller

SEABRIGHT, N. J.. Aug. 1.-Wil- liam NJ. Johnston, America's second ranking tennis star went down to sen sational defeat at the hands of How ard Kinsey, Pacific coast champion, to- day in the final of the Seabright invita- tion tennis tournament. Kinsey tri- umphed after the limit of five sets, GA, 3-6, 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, flashing perhaps the most brilliant tennis of his career.
 There was versatility and effective ness to Kinsey's attack that astonished. He had a bewildering assortment of strokes that few had thought him ca pablo of and controlled them beauti- fully. Time and again he forced Johns ton out of position, compelling errors, when he was not driving the ball for placement.
 Johnston Irratic
 Johnston was the Johnston of old only on infreqnent occasions. Every now and then his fOreshander crushed with all it's former power and sting, but on the whole he failed to inject enough severity in his shots to compel Kinsey to take the defensive. This lack of speed coupled with frequent lapses in control cost Johnston the match.
 Miss Mary K. Browne of California overwhelmed Miss Mayme Macdonald, national clay court champion, in the women's singles finals. The score was 60, 6-1, and it was just as decisive as the figures indicated.
 Later Miss Browne scored another triumph this time with the aid of Mrs. T. Horace Dudley of Los Angeles. They proved entirely too formidable a dOu- bles combination for Miss Mayme Me-
