DFMPSEY'S LEFT

Sandino opened fire on the city

The fighting became general, but

CLUB
WOMEN DEMAND
INDEPENDENCE

OAKLAND, Calf, July 18 Up
WOman's assertion of independence in
the business world stood as the key
note of the national convention of
Business and Professional Women's
clubs, opening its week of sessions
here today. Nearly 1000 delegates
were here.
Twelve discussion groups held in
formal meetings during the afternoon,
these covering activities of profess
;sional business women, such as law
yers, bankers, public officials, archi-
tects, office executives, pharmacists
and welfare workers.
Inklings of some of the discussions
due to come before the convention
Z appeared in the group addresses:

business if woman is to be a success, 2

ministrator of East St. Louis.

merely want recognition we feel we

it wasn't so long ago that we were
not treated as human beings"
She said she believed the women

of independence than those of the
east. "The reason, however, is simply

Moreover, the Americans point out
that the British navy will be super
ior to the American up to the date
of the termination of the projected
treaty, no matter how fast Uncle Sam
may lay down warships.
The element of a preliminary Anglo
Japanese understanding concerning
the maintenance in commission of OBJ
solete cruisers, it is believed can be
worked out to the general satisfaction
and the problem It the size of Subsi-
diary cruisers and their ornaments
stands out as the real stumbling block.
AS to the submarines, it is deemed un-
likely that. Japan will insist upon par
ity with the United States and Great
Britain, merely asking for d proper
ton better than 5-5-3 established at
Washington. for capital ships.
If the alleged tentative agreement
concerning 10000 ton cruisers staIids,
it means a ratio of $3.50 in this par
ticlllar warship, thus improving Jap
ans position.
Great Britain already possesses four
$500 ton cruisers of the Hawkins class
and is building fourteen large crUis-
ers, all but one of which have 10000
tons displacement and it has a pro-
gram for nine other 10000 tonnerS.
1t is obvious, the British spokesman
remarked that the British admiralty
must sacrifice altogether their build
ing program in big cruisers and cease
construction of those already under
way, if 12-12-8 is actually accepted as
the tri-power proportion in 10000 ton
cruisers.
"All this" he added, mot only i'm
plies Cancellation on our part but the
actual loss of a considerable sum of
money, as it Inevitably involves the

BERG MUCHLY EDUCATED


Moe Berg, former Princeton star
now playing shortstop for the Chicago
White Sox, is much educated young
man. Baseball is more or less a
sideline with him.
Ever since he graduated from
Princeton with any number Of de-
grees, including one in baseball, Berg
has dabbled in major yeague base
ball, but always secondary to his
studies.
Attending college during the spring
training period, he has always miss
ed that arduouS task Since most
colleges do not close until some time
in June, he has always been very
late reporting for actual play.
The above conditions set the stage
for one of the best laughs have had
this year, Spencer Adams of the st.
Louis Browns, pulling the wise crack.
Adams, it will be recalled, for
merly played with Washington
and New York of the American
league, the Browns being his third
venture in an effort to win

ADAMS pI1ILEn THIS

Recently, injuries and illness al
most wrecked the St. Louis club
Manager Dan Howlcy being forced to
call upon his reserves in great num-
bers to present something that re-
sembled big league lineup.
Adams, who played utility roles
while Washington and New York were
winning pennants, was pressed into
service at short, third and second. He
performed we'll in the field, but SIM
ply couldn't get going at the bat.
There is nothing more difficult than
trying to solve big league pitching
after spending a couple of months
warming the bench. While Adams
/ hit the ball fairly well, he just
couldn't seem to get it safe.
In series between st. Louis and
Chicago, Shortstop Peckinpaugh OF
Chicago suffered leg injury and
Manager Schalk sent Berg into the
game to take his place.
Adams gave him his first tough
chance and Berg came through with
a sensational play. A few innings
later he robbed Adams of what looked
like another sure nlC.
T. did you ever think of taking
a course in some summer school,

as he saw two much needed hits
slip away.

The first pitch didn't suit Umpire

ing his cap, busted off the home
plate.
The second pitch was ruled strike,
by Connolly, much to the disgust OF
the batter, Ward, who said nothing
but like Schalk, removed his cap and
busted off the home platter.
With the count three balls and one
strike, Ward swung at a ball above
his head and missed. Had he let II
