Bruce was giving terrific hax-

He stood his ground however ur,

and nerves drawn taut.
Senator Robinson was exasperated
beyond endurance by the tactics
pursued by Bruce. He threw aside
an Senatorial dIecorum and shouted

noes, Mr.. President" supported
by many OF his Democratic col
leagues and throwing the Senate
into q wild tuInult.
For nearly five minutes the dis.
order continued while the galleries
cheered. When Vice President
Dawes had restored some semblance
of order, Bruce shouted to Robinson
that he had been insulted by his
own party leader, and that there
would be a reckoning later.
With the Senate about ready to
break into another tumult, the sit.

TWO GOOD PITCHING ARMS .
 KEEPING CARDS IN RACE
Grover Cleveland Alexander and Clarence Mitchell are Bulwarks of Strength - St. Louis Team Defeats Pirates-Cincinnati Reds Wallop Chicago Cubs - Athletics Take New York Yankees Into Camp Cleveland Indians Nose Out Chicago White Sox
l3y tha A.so~iated Press

By ths A.so"iated Press
 Two good pitching arms-one right and the other left-are doing much to keep the st. Louis Cardi- nals a very long jump ahead Of the National field,
 The orthodox arm belongs to Grover Cleveland Alexander. Clar- ence Mitchell, ancient southpaw spitballer, owns the other one.
 Alex recently turned back the Cincinnati Reds three times in eight days. Yesterday Clarence pitched the Cards to an easy to 1 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis. The Corsairs hit him often but not when hits meant runs. As a matter of fact the Pirates could not score at all until the ninth when Paul Waner hit q home run with the bases filled. The Cards touched Remy kremer and Joe Dawson for II hits, six of them for extra bases.
 Charley Root might as well make mp his mind he cant beat the Gin cinnati Reds. They Nalloped Char ley and the Cubs yesterday to ? and bounced back into fourth place in the standing. Luque gave the Cubs their seven hits where they did the least damage.
 The Athletics retrieved some Of the ground they had been losing for week in the American league race by taking the New York Yankees in- to camp at Philadelphia. 6 to 1. It was the Athletics second victory over the champions in the l3 games the clubs have played at Shibe park this year. Howard Ehmke was bat ted out of the box in the ninth 1n- ming when Combs single, koenigs home run and a pass to Babe Ruth made the situation slightly delicate from Connie Mack's point of view. With two runs over and only one out, the tall tactician motioned for Lefty Grove to take Ehmkes place on the mound Lefty did so with neatness and dispatch He famed Gehrig and then retired the side by striking out Lazzeri after Meusel had reached first on tumble, the Tanks lead was cut to 1 games by their defeat
 The only other maj league con- f1ict that rain permitted saw Cleve- land nose out the White Sox. 3 to 8. Three hits and helpful wild throw by Barnett gave the tribe three runs and the game in the ninth. George Grant was knocked out of the box in the Sox half of the ninth but received credit for his seventh successive victory.

FRANCE LEADS IN TENNIS TOURNEY
Only Two Americans Have
 Lasted to Quarter Finals

Wimbledon, Eng, June 30 P'-1t appears that the quarter finals of the mems singles of the British ten is championships will have strong ly French flavor, with just enough American ingredients 10 add spice.
 France will have four and per haps five mon in the last eight to America's s two and one or two for the rest of the world
 John Henncssey. lanky Indiana polls star, already has reached the quarter finals and Big Bill Tildcn was due 10 be there by nightfall if he could get by Pierre Landry. of France. England's only hope was II. w. Austin, Cambridge university conqucror of Wilbur Coen of the American Davis Cup team.
 Of the 12S contestants in the mems singles, France had but ten, yet seven of them have reached the last sixteen. Hennessey gets his big test probably on Monday, when he engages the defending champion. Henri Cochet, TiIdcn likely will meet the winner of the Jean Borotra and Pat Crawford match the same day. Borotra reached the finals last year, lowing to his French com patriot, Cochet, in the match that decided the mpionship.
 Frenchmen may dominate mems play but no woman seems capable of even threatening Helen Wills position of supremacy among the women stars.
 There's nothing fresh to say about whlrlwind Helen Wills, she's just too good wrote one morning newspaper critic despairingly. con- mentlng on her defeat Of Mrs. F. II. Harvey. of England. yesterday. Mrs. Harvey's courageous stand against the champion was sympa- thetically praised.
 Mrs. Harvey took every ball her legs could reach but it was like playing against a brick wall" said another commentators
 While no one expects to see Ms, Wills successfully challenged, one expert suggests that she may find the veteran California player. Eliza beth Ryan.> her most dangerous ri- val Miss Ryan has been playing at top form in the tournament thus far and appears headed for the fin- als

 OF WINNING BOUT
Meriden Battler Ready for Quin. ter0 in New Haven Monday

New Haven, Conn. June 30.-kid kaplan. here from Meriden to look over the scene Of his encounter with Manuel Qunteroo on Monday night July ?, was more than confident that he would be the victor when the ten rounds of milling was over. The fights is scheduled for the White City stadium SaNin Rock.
 haplan, never given to boosting turned his back when someone men, toned the possibility of a knockout over the Spanlard from Florida, but he did mention that he never felt better in his life and he would prove decisivcly that he was the better man.
 Denny McMahon never has any l., kaplan said, but it seems the general opinion that Quinteroo was defeated by me in New York. But whatever is thought the judges gave him the decision and there 1t stands But 1 don't think tightening will strike twice in the same place and he's going to be beaten so decisiNely this time that there can't be any doubt about the verdict.
 kaplan does look to be in shape His recent slight attack Of grip has disappeared long ago and that bothcrsome boil on the right leg iu above the knee is nothing but a scar now. He started training at Silve, sands but McMahon figured the best plao" for him was Neriden and that's where he will finish up. He has been in the Silver City for more than week.
 Qulnteroo, under the direction o, walk Miller. does most of his train lng at Miller's camp in the Catskills lie IS due 10 finish up in New Haycr tomorrow however.
 Both fighters are due 10 come m. der the wire at 12G pounds at o'clock on Monday and there tsn', In" slightest doubt but what the, will make 1he weight.

Houser, the discus champion, and Hartranft, the worlds record holder, will be hard to beat. if they return to old form. So will Eric Krenz the new Stanford star, but again Germany puts forward a threat in Hoffmeister, credited with beating Hartranft's world mark recently with . throw of 159 feet, { 1-4 inches
 Hammer throwing, a neglected art abroad until recently, now has de- veloped potential champions in Skold Of Sweden, Erickson of Fin land and Nokes Of England. To beat any of them it will take some heroic work by the American vet erans. McGrath and Merchant. or by some such newcomers as Wright and Black. college men.
 Summing it up. America appears certain of victory in only three of the nine field events on this years Olympic program. but fairly sure of three others. with at least good chance to break through in any one Of the remaining three. It should be rough and rugged battle of skill and brawn from the first toss to the last jump.

 New York-lP-If as is generally expected. the United States again carries off the Olympic track and field cham pionshlp at Amsterdam this summer it will be due principal ly to tn" proWcss of the sons Ot Uncle Sam who jump, vault and toss various implements around.
 In other words, the deciding fac not on the track. The same method of concentrating on brawn that has enabled California colleges to clean up eastern championship will be employed by the American team in it's efforts to clean up the Olympics.
 It is more spectacular to win the 10o-metre dash or some other tract. feature, but it produces no more points than a victory in the shotp1,t or discus, where the competitors toll with few if any plaudits.
 Four years ago, while little Fin land was busy rompng off with all the running laurels in sight from l,500 meters mp to the Marathon, the American huskies went out and clinched the Olympic title. capturing seven Of the 10 field events The only individual American victory on inc track was in the 900 meters by Jackson Scholz, but in the less spec tacular field events Bud Houser won the discus and shotput, 0arold Os- born took the high jump and de- cathlon. Hubbard won the broad jump, Lee Barnes the pole vault and Fred Tootcll the hammer throw to pile up a decisive margin for Uncle Sam's array
 This year Amorica's field strcngt h is no stronger. perhaps. than il was in 1924. It will have keener oppo- stion than before, especially from Germany, which has produced worlds record breakers this spring in the shotput and discus throw. but it is powerful enough to beat any other nations assembly of jumpers and wcight-tosscrs as a whole.
 All Of the American champ plons in the field events will be back except Tootell in the hammer throw, and his place may turn out 10 be one of the hardSSt to fill.

the field features than the Ameri- can team boasted four years ago. DeHart Hubbard, the great negro jumper. has had trouble rounding into form but Uncle Sam hasn't much to worry about with another 25-foot broad jumper, Ed Hamm of Georgia Tech, ready to leap in. Hubbard's weak ankle, however, may keep him out of the hop, step and jump again, an event he would figure to win if in shape.
 American high jumpers and pole vaulters appear to outclass all rivals. If Osborn isn't successful in defend ing his title. it may go to Bob King of Stanford or Rufus Haggard of Texas. Lee Barnes. stiffest opposi- ton in the pole vault will come from his countryman, Sabin Carr, if form prevails, but there also may be Ward Edmonds or Bill Droegmuller to reckon with.
 The weight events will find com petition much keener and the Amer jeans hard pressed to hold their
 
 own with stars developed in Sweden, England and Finland as well as Germany. Uncle Sam has four shot putters in kuck, krenz. Rothert and SchWartZe who have beaten 50 feet frequently and 51 feet occasionally, but Germany has Karl Herschfield who tossed the 16-pound iron ball 10 a new worlds record distance of 5l feet, 9l2 inches this spring. Agaln, in the javclin, America has Inc best speartossing talent ever de- Neloped. with quartet able to do around 215 feet consistently, but sweden has Gunnar Landstrom tho "orlds record holder. and Finland a ne" ace in pentila. who has broken the worlds record, besides Jonni MSSra, the veteran who has won the last two Olympic titles.
