To GET ITALY
INTO LINE
British Premier Asks BRAND
to Stand BY While He Seeks
a Compromise From Grandi

LONDON, April 9 dN.s0. =
Prime Minister Ramsay Mac-
Donald, chairman of the Naval
Conference, kept five-power ne
gotiations alive today with an.
effort to bring Italy into line on
g compromise of her parity de-
n1ands.
Having been acquainted by
Foreign Minister BRAND of
Frances reluctance to enter into
any treaty not including Italy,
macdonald induced BRAND to
stand by while another attempt
was made to move the italians
from the position to which they
nave closely adhered throughout
the conference.
Illness of Grandi today delayed
MacDonald's efforts. Uncoa-
firmed reports were circulated
that his indisposition was of a
diplomatic" nature, designed to
give him time to receive new in
structions from MusSolini regard
Ing Italy'S attitude.
Macdonald evidently hopes to
induce Rome to agree that if it
is possible to make an unilateral
declaration respecting parity with
France she then will submit defi-
mite figures for a Six-year con-
Struction program. This would
undoubtedly be taken as the basis
Of an agreement under which
Italy could join in a five-power
pact.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-M
Singer, lightweight champion Of
the world, will meet Jimmy Nc
Larnin at the Yankee Stadium on

at 142 pounds. This battle was
clinched late last night when
Frank Bruen made the match over

ager, at Vancouver.
Singer will sign two contracts,
one to meet McLarnin and the
ether to defend his lightweight
title against Tony Canzoneri six
weeks later.
All the past and impending
negotiations for a Jack Berg and
Singer bout have fallen through,
for the present at least.
Hymie Caplin, Singers man
ager, came to Madison Square
Garden yesterday expecting
to meet Sol Gold and frankie
Jacobs, joint managers of the
dashing Englishman, but they
failed to show up.
That left all the conversation
to little Hymie, and he put it On
strong. He knocked Prof. Bruen
right off his mahogany chair by
saying that the Singer percentage
price for a match with Berg had
gone up 21a per cent.
Instead of asking for the cham.
pion's bit of 3712 per cent, which
is the commission figure tor
champions, Hymie. because of the
social slight occasioned by thu
noticeable absence of Sol and
frankie, elected to boost the ter
centage demand to 40 per cent.
1t was then that Bruen realized
that all attempts to make the
Berg and Singer match were nil.
A great prospect had gone sud
denly dud. Bruen got Pop Foster
on the long-distance phone. He
said:
1--WE will give Jimmy rs per
cent to fight AL Singer"
Singer is getting and has ac-
cepted the same as Jimmy will
get. Singer is all set if Jimmy
will agree to 142 pounds. How
about it," asked Bruen.
"The figures are all right for
me. Bully. The percentage and
the weight, toO," said Foster.

manager, will fire another cnal-
lenge at Singers head today when
he appears before the boxing COM

Since the injury of Fred Mar
berry, which club officials have
said will require yet another
month or five weeks to over
come, there has been much dis
pute among the baseball popu-
lace as to the propriety Of any
pitcher, say naught of one of as
much value as Marberry was to
the team, taking the chances
involved In sliding into a base
least of all head first.
The thought brings up the
question Of exactly how much a
pitcher is supposed, under mod
ern playing conditions and
equipment, to do to help his
club win, other than to pitch
ball.
Should he try to slide into
bases with the accompanying
risk of injury?
Should he try to stretch sim
giles into doubles, as Hadley did
Saturday, after which he was in
effective against the Cleveland
Indians?
Should a pitcher give a good
goldurn whether he gets on base
or not, and If he does, should
he risk injury of body or limb,

WILL NOT
DEFEND TITLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL,
Helen Wills Moody, national
women's tennis titleholder, will
not defend her. crown this year
in the matches at Forest Hills.
The champion, who announced
last night she would not go east
for the annual net classic, today
had no further comment to make,
merely reiterating that her dis
like for travel, after her recent
trip abroad, had brought the
decision not to go to Forest
Hills.
Mrs. Moody said although
she is still keenIy interested
in tennis she prefers to re-
main at her home here with
her husband and parents
after her many weeks abroad.
She returned only few weeks
ago from France and England
where she won both titles.
Mrs. Moody, six times winner
of the national title, has won
the crown successfully since
1923, except. in 1926, when she
did not compete because of
illness.
This years matches begin
August 18 and it was taken here
today that Mrs. Moody was firm
in her stand and had no inten-
tion of changing her mind at this
late date.
Some time ago Miss Helen
Jacobs, who ranks just beneath
Mrs. Moody, withdrew from COM
petition this year because of i'll
ress, so that with Mrs. Moody's
withdrawal the two ranking stars
in the women's field will be miss
ing at, the national net games.
Il Miss Edith Cross, another Cali
fornian, was mentioned today as a
likely candidate to win the title.
although a strong contender may
be Betty Nuthall, the English star,
who has arrived in New York for

SANDY ARMOUR
SCORES LOW

The parched course at the Con-
gressional Country Club may send
scores of members upwards but
Sandy Armour, pro, seems able
to knockout rounds below par.
Armour knows every inch of The
Congressional layout and plays
almost every day.
It has been his custom to get
in at least 18 holes a day and
36 holes sometimes. However,
the recent heat spell has forced
him to curtail his golf activities.
There have been days when the
boiling sun rays kept him off the
course and there have been other
times when he played but nine
holes.
Were the national open or pro.
fessional golfers championship
held at Congressional, Sandy Ar
mour would have to be consid-
cred among the favorites. He
would have confidence in himcelf
and an advantage in his home
course.
AT any rate, Armour turned
in pair of SIS during the
past week, shaving par by 5
strokes on each occasion. He
bracketed 33s with 35s and
on last Tuesday scored 81
for the first nine.
He went over to Burning Tree
