SENATE KEEPS
UP ITS BATTLE
WITH COOLIDGE
More Than 20 Nominations
to Important Offices
to Be SheIved.
By PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAN Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, March 2-For
six years President Coolidge has
been unable to get along with the
senate in the matter of appoint-
ments and now with congress peace
fully dying and Coolidge quietly re-
turning to private life, they are
still at odds.
More than twenty Coolidge
nominations to important Offices
are TO be shelved according to the
plans of senate leaders.
The names submitted by the
President will die with the con-
gress at noon Monday.
] They include eight judgeships
and numerous lesser Offices and
such personageS as Curtis D. VIII
bur, secretary of navy, offered as
judge of the Ninth California dis
trict and former Senator Irwin L.
Lenroot, Wisconsin. named to be
judge of the United States court
OF customs appeals.
Fail TO Act on Judges
Groups of senators have been
aroused at the haste of the chief
executive in naming six new federal
judges under the bill which finally
passed congress only few hours
before the names were submitted
by Coolidge.
In the ordinary course of events,
the names might not be submitted
by the President for weeks.
If the leaders carry out their plan
of ignoring the nominations, Presi-
Elect Hoover may dole out
these offices to other parties after
he takes the oath.
The judges who thus are slated
for senate inaction include, besides
Wilbur, Lloyd Stryker and Francis
Caffey, New York; Archibald Gard
ner, South Dakota; George McDer-
mott, Kansas, and o. L. Phillips,
New Mexico.
Radio Bill Forced Through
The bill continuing the life of the
radio commission was forced
through the senate Friday night
after nine hour filibuster by Sena-
tor Royal S. Copeland Dem, N.
". Copeland secured adoption OF
an amendment which provides the
commission will function only until
Dec. 81.
The senate also adopted house
amendments to the Edge resolution
authorizing $150,00O survey of the
Nicaraguan canal.

'SM|THW|Ck LEADS
 LEAGUE EATERS
West Ends Catcher Sports Mark
 Of ..656 in City Circuit

Johnny Smithwick. catcher for the West Ends baseball team, championship outfit of the City League last year, is the leading hit ter in the circuit with a mark Of .636 according 10 the official batting averages issued today. Johnny is topped by Jo Klatka of the Burritts who has a mark of .6S7 and Ven turo of the Senecas who also has .667 but these players haven't play ed in full games or. like Ventura. are no longer members of the league.
 Among the regulars who are in second place are Bill Mangan an- other catcher, member Of the Pi- rates, Klopp of the Cardinals and Rice of the Senecas, all of whom have averages of 800. Morelli of the Pirates is hitting at .43S clip and is now in third place,
 There are 10 players in all who are batting 500 Or better in the league. Three of them are members of the exclusive 400 class while six are doing better than 300.
 The feature about the batting list and the leaders is the slump by the leading hitters of last year. This is either due to the efficiency of the pitchers or the loss of good eye by the men themselves. Al Blan- chard of the West Ends Tommy Basil of the West Ends and Stub Budnick of the Burrittts are lead ing in scoring runs with five mark CTS each. Daly Of the Cardinals, kroll Of the senecas and Charlow of the Pirates stand second with four each.
 Home run hitters in the league are Begley, Morelli and Bergeron of the Pirates, Belanger of the Sene- cas and Grail of the Holy Cross
 The batting averages are as fol- lows.

Somewhere in his baseball career, Walter Johnson, manager of the Washington Senators, must have walked under a ladder.
 Or, maybe he carelessly tossed his hat on a hotel bed. Or perha ps he exchanged stares with cross eyed colored boy in the full of the moon.
 Anyhow if baseball's code of voo- dooism can be taken seriously. Old Joshua P. Jinx seems 10 have picked out Walter for the buggy ride.
 Consider his fate since he has taken charge of the Mats. On paper this spring his team was picked 10 run one. two, three by the majority of dopesters. The Senators appeared most classy ball club in preseason games and stories of what the Wash ington pitchers were displaying in the southland filled columns Of sports page space. But soon after the. season opened, Mir. JinX started to do his stuff,
 Illness and injuries hit the team like a Kansas twister hits an up and coming wheat field Even old Bar ney had to leave the bench for a hospital bunk. Ad Liska, the sensa- tional newcomer, of whom much had been written and of whom so much was expected, f1ivvered after a nice start. Bump Hadley, who pitched as nice brand of ball as most pitch CTS who were running Up win col umns, couldn't beat anybody.
 Goose Goslin. last years batting champion, acted like an Appalachian league recruit at the plate. Garland Braxton, who the year before led the American league pitchers in effec- tlVeness, was off his stride due to ill., ness and injuries. Firpo Marberry, whom ball players like as one of the best pitchers in the game, seeemd destined to go back to his role of bull pen pitcher.
 Even during the years when Wal ter Johnson was baseballs greatest pitcher, he had the misfortune 10 work for a chronic second division outf1t. And when his team finally got lnto two world series, the iinX again hohbed up for Walter.
 True-there was rift in tho clouds when Walter beat the Giants | Tn the last game Of the 1925 world series. But previous to that day he had been beaten twice hy the Giants. The following year saw him pitch hls heart out in the last day Of the series against the Pittsbureh flrates. In a drenching rain it was Barney's fate to be in the box when the Pirates put over their finishing | punch.

MEET IN FINAL MATCH
Two College Golfers Slated to Bat tie Today For Western Amateur Links Crown.

Kansas City, July 13 LP,-The col legiate atmosphere cannot be erased from important matches of the 30th annual western amateur golf tourna- ment, ending today with the final 36 hole match between Don Moe at Portland, Ore. and Gilbert Carter Of Nevada. Mo.
 Moe is a University Of Oregon sophomore, Carter is captain of the University of Missouri golf team. Moe won his way into the finals by eliminating John Lehman. former Big Ten golf champion from Purdue In his quarter final round, a match worthy of a final, Moe defeated Carey l.. Ballew. Jr,. Kansas City Junior College sophomore.
 Captured by the infectious smile sportsmanship and excellent golf of the 19 year old Pacific coast boy the gallery today probably will be pulling for him despite the fact a native son is his opponent. Carter has been in the darkest Of dark horses" in the tournament and may surprise the tournament followers who are picking Moe as an easy victor,

GERMANY NEEDS TO WIN
 ONE GAME FROM ENGLAND
European Davis Cup Finals May Be settled On Courts At
 Berlin Today

Berlin, July 1S P-Nictorious m the opening singles matches of the European zone finals, Germanys Davis cup team, dark horse" Of continental competition, needed only one victory today to dispose Of Great Britain and enter the inter-zouc finals with the United States.
 Despite the easy fashion in which Hans Moldenhauer and Dr. IT. Prem defeated H. W. (Bunny) Aus tin and J. C. Gregory, British stars in the first two singles matches. gx- perts favored England to win the doubles today. TkT Britons are at their best at doubles and most ob- servers thought the Germans would have 10 wait until tomorrow for their third and deciding victory of the series.
 Great Britain's cause appeared hopeless. Not only must the Britcns win the doubles but both of Sundays singles matches as well. Austin who fell before Moldenhauer, 6-4 co. 6-3 yesterday, battles Prem to- morrow. Prom disposed of Gregory in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. 6-2. Tho other singles match on Sunday will . bring together Gregory and Modem hauer.

Standing

Several changes are expected In the City baseball league standing after the three games to be played at Walnut Hil park this afternoon. If everything goes along according 10 schedule, the Burritts will retain their place in the league lead while the Pirates ought to win from the SeneCas. The West Ends have a more precarious assignment this aft ernoon and it is doubtful if last years champions can come through with a win.
 The Burritts are slated 10 take on the Cardinals this afternoon at 4 o'clock on Diamond No l. The Cards are in second place and will be out to win but the feeling is that they are too weak to topple the strong team the Burritts will put in the field.
 The Pirates are carded with the SeneCas on Diamond No. at 2 o'clock. The Senecas are now the tail-cnders in the league and have-
