CHANGEOF
COURTS
BY EDGAR HAYES

DETROIT, Aug. 1o.-Because OF
inclement weather conditions, the
National Public Parks tennis
tournament was transferred from
Waterworks Park to the courts Of
the Detroit Tennis Club today. A
heavy rain last night made the
Waterworks Park courts unfit for
play.
Doubles events started with %
mems teams and 13 women pairs
seeking the doubles crown Of the
public courts.
Meanwhile, there was a respite
from the gruelling singles matches
| which have occupied the first two
days of the nationwide regatta.
Four matches are still to be
played in the third round Of the
mems singles.
In the women's singles, the fol
lowing still remained in the COM
petition:
Mrs. Virginia Dueker, Of St.
Louis, defending champion; Mrs.
Ruth Martinez, of washington;
Charlotte McQuistin, Of Dallas;
Helen Germaine, of New York;
Constance O'Donovan, OF Detroit:
irene David, of Cleveland; and
Mary Zita Hale, of Dallas.
Mitchell Looms
Mrs. Dueker drew two byes and
consequently has played only one
match to advance to the fourth
round The Dallas entrants,
Miss McQuistin and Miss Hale,
are the defending champions
strongest threats.
In the mems singles, the
race, though the third round
matches have not been COM
pIeted, seems narrowed to
George Jennings, Chicago, the
defending champion, DGOley
Mitchell, of Washington.
Arnold SimOnS, Louisville and
George O'COnnelI, Of Chicago.
Fred Roger, Of Dallas, seeded
No, 4 player, also is exhibiting
titular tennis and may still be
swinging his racquet in the
finals.
One upset was recorded when
Clay Mahoney, Los Angeles
threat, was eliminated from play
yesterday.
In the doubles matches today,
O'Connell and Mahoney have
paired. They are two of the best
players of the tournament and
their chances are good. First
round mems doubles matches are:
Broida and Freedman, New
York, VS.. Fox and Norris, Lam
sing, Mich.
Traylor and Backer, Evansville,
VS.. Carson and kaufman, Ann
Arbor.
Bell and Niemoeller, st. Louis,

SAKs WANTS PITCHER

Manager Dick MotherShead of
the Saks Clothiers team wants
pitcher who twirls in a style
similar to that of Dick Hughes
of the Takoma Tigers to help
prepare his team for their game
with the Tigers. Dick Mothers
head may be reached during
the day at District 1850.

disturbing and ineffective. One
reason it fails to work is be-
cause counting takes your mind
off the ball and puts it on
your club. So when you play
the ball, forget counting, but
in practice you might develop
a slow and rhythmic action by
counting four or five instead Of
the customary one-two-three.

Camp Birchmere, the summer camp of the Waterbury Council of Girl Scouts, which is located on Welton pond on upper Boyden street in Waterville, opens official ly for the 1891 season this after noon. Many improvements have been effected since the opening sea- son last year and the camp is much more attractive. Several minor changes have been made in the equipment and facilities of the large log cabin which serves as camp headquarters, dining hall and com mon meeting place and provision has been made for betetr housing arrangements in the tent section.
 The swimming facilities have been greatly improved and the grounds put into excellent shape through the assistance of unem- ployed groups furnished by the Mutual Aid Unemployment fund.
 An average weekly attendance of about 70 girls is indicated by the preliminary enrolment. Although the camp formally opens to-day, many troops have made use of its facilities on Saturdays and week ends for the past several weeks.
 Miss Edna W. Weber, who is the director of the Waterbury Council of Girl Scouts, will act as camp director this season. The council headquarters at Mattatuck

McCorey and Cruop, Charged With Trying to Knock Off, Women, Have Cases Suspended After Being ROundly Scored From Bench

dolph keuster of 293 Hamilton ave- nue and Mrs Mary Reardon of 335 Hamilton avenue. Their alibi today was that they had stopped on sig nal from one of the women and drove away when they were accused of attempting to frighten them by the manner in which they operated their auto.
 The auto incidentally was the chief feature in the defense's alibi. McCorey, the owner and driver, claims to have bought it for $10. It's good car for the condition it is in, but the condition Is apparent ly not so hot even in these warm days. It rattles and snorts and goes through all kinds of noisy making contortions when it is in motion. As a matter of fact 1t frightened Mrs Reardon so badly that she tainted.
 Two states principal witnesses stated that the two youths made ef- forts to flirt with them and even went to the extent of stopping their machine and inviting them to ride on Hamilton avenue.
 The two youths, who were ap- parently cruising around to kill time pending the arrival of 915 train claimed that they stopped at the corner of East Main street and Ham, ilton avenue for the red traffic light. They turned onto Hamilton avenue and were travelling in second gear at the rate of 25 miles an hour they claimed. It was their story that one of the women motioned to them and they stopped to inquire what they wanted. The woman demanded to I,n. f,,xyt f@ frightening someone to death. If the noise and the actions of their roaring machine" frightened the women then the youths were sorry. They didn't consider the speed of the machine so excessive as to cause comment.
 The two accused insisted that they drove out Hamilton avenue and turned out and were coming toward East Main street when John E.. Thompson of 30 Fuller street step ped into the street and motioned to them to come to a standstill. They did as directed. The two women were nearby and attempted to cross the street at this particular time. Mrs Reardon became frightened as the auto started to back up and col lapsed in the street. She was evil dently of the belief that she was about to be run down, the defense claimed.
 Attorney Thomas r. McGrath re- ferred to McCorey's record as a high school student and personally vouched for his reputation as a we'll behaved young man and was not of the fresh type.'
 Judge Meyer after voicing his opinion that McCorey should dis
  marked that he personally observed the actions of youths cruising about the city in cars making efforts to 'pick up" young women. It is a
 practice that is becoming so ob- noXious as to demand drastic action.

HOOVER PLAN IS NOT IN EFFECT
 ON JULY FIRST
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD

Washington, July (UP) - Franco-American negotiations on President Hoover's debt holiday pro- posal - which was to have been in force today - seemed enmeshed to- day in a net of technicalities.
 There are three strong cords in the net The United States is will ing to help sever one of them by reducing somewhat our original de- mand that Germany be given 25 years to repay this years uncondi- tional separations. But the other two must be cut by France herself, American officials hold. These two difficulties are Frances insistence that small nations be given some German funds to balance their bud gets and her demand for release from paying a guarantee fund" of 500,000,000 reichmarks in event Germany declares a moratorium in the future.
 While the debt holiday plan was to have become effective today, the that an agreement may yet be reached.
 When and if the negotiations are successful, the suspension will be made retroactive to this date. A re- port published by the London Daily Herald that the United States was preparing to put the plan into effect without Frances participation was declared by State Department of- ficials to be unfounded.
 Secretary of Treasury Mellon in Paris is continuing his talks with Premier Laval, whose cabinet was strengthened last night by a senate vote of confidence. At the same time officials here are trying to work out a plan that will satisfy France, while affording Germany the real economic relief sought by President Hoover. Senator Dwight w. Morrow, internationally-kn financial expert and diplomat, held a long conference last night with Acting Secretary of State Castle on these problems.
 One method of assuring small na- tions like Rumania and Jugoslavia the money they need to balance rep arations losses without going into the German funds might be through a credit from the Federal Reserve. System, the Bank of England and other such institutions. Officials here are underst ood to be examining such plan.
 Further light was shed today on the reasons for MT Hoover's dra- matic action in proposing the debt reparations holiday on June 20. It was learned the administration had good reason to believe that had not the president acted then, Germany would have been forced to declare a moratorium on June 22, on both pub lie and private obligations.

HAST MONTH FELL DOWN ON RECORD
 FOR MARRIAGES
Either the Hot Wave or De-
 pressiOn Put a Damper \ on the Month of Wed=
 dings

Chicago. July 1.-(UP) .-Unem- ployment, the economic depression and the heat wave caused mar riageable American to go to the altar in fewer numbers during the past month than in any other recent June on record, according to nation-Wlde survey completed to-day by the Unl- ted Press.
 Cities and towns throughout the nation reported that marriage ll- censes issued during the June just ended slumped from five to 25 be- low 1880.
 There were fewer June weddings In large industrial centers, agrlcul- tural communities and mining towns, the survey showed, indicating that romantic young couples in all walks of life were equally affected by the Repression.
 H. H. Studdendorf. marriage li- cense clerk of Omaha, Neb., con- scurred with many other officials in having that unemployment was the kreetest factor in overcoming the romantic urging of people who would like to be married in June.
 Marriages were nearly 20 per cent lower in Omaha during the last month than in 1930," said Stubben- sdorf, land the decrease should have been even greater.
 Most of the couples who obtained licenses from me were in doubtful financial positions and had no busi- ness to get married. Nine out of ten couples gave their future addresses with one or the others parents.
 The average age of couples who obtained licenses to wed in many cities, was higher than in 1880, the survey revealed. Also, the decrease was greater among employees than employers. In not one of the many cities checked by the United Press did the statistics show that marriages increased.
 N New York had 2,929 license ap- eplications in the first 27 days of June. 1881, compared with 3,601 in the entire month of June, 1880 and <.l2S in 1929. For comparison with the nations largest city, Kan sas City, Kans., had 308 marriages in June, 1880, and 167 in the month just ended.
 Of1cials of many cities said that SIae past month was the hottest June on record, aSd many couples post poned their weddings in the hope of more comfortable weather for honey moon trips.
 Following are statistics for rep resentative cities showing the de- crease in marriages last June com narod with 1qS0.

~ Official condemnation of the prac- tice of youths attempting to flirt with women and inviting them to take ride in their autos was made today by Judge T. V. Meyer in po- lice court. It was strongly intimated that some of the would-be sheiks would be committed to jail If they persist in their flirtations, which were insulting to respectable women and girls.
 In the cases today, which warrant the. courts comments, sentence was suspended. The accused were Joseph McCorey, 21, of Woodtick road, former high school athlete, and Joseph Crupo, 20, of McCauley ave nue. They were arrested last Fri flay on the complaints of Mrs Ru-
