GERMAN BANKS TO REOPEN BUT NOT
 ON FULL BASIS
They Will Renew Business Wednesday and the Amounts to Be Paid Out Will Increase a Little

Berlin, July 28-(UP)--A new emergency decree issued by Presi- dent Won Hindenburg to-day failed to provide for reopening of Ger man banks on a full business basis tomorrow, but essentially upheld present restrictions on banking transactions. A slight increase of amounts permitted to be paid out was permitted, however.
 To-day's statement promised that the authorities would do their ut- most to assure resumption Of 1uli banking business next week. It was understood the governments decision not to resume full out payments tomorrow was owing to apprehension over the proximity of the first of August. when the many payments due might cause g. new big run on the banks.

reau. The case goes up in smoke without the police or hospital authorities knowing the reason for the young woman's action in swallowing the poison. Miss Clarke who gave her occupation as wait ress in the Three Door Inn, South ington, was taken to the office of Dr Charles Farrell on East Main street shortly after o'clock yes terday. Three men, who car ried her, claimed that they found her in the doorway of nearby house. She had taken lysol. Af- ter receiving first aid treatment she was removed to the hospital.
 The police questioned James Russo, 165 South Main street; Jack Tripodi, 33, of Meriden road and Richard Burns, 22, of 26 Magill street. The last two named spent yesterday and last night in the custody of the police. They were supposed to be detained un- til the police had chance to ques- ton the young woman, but the latter left the hospital contrary to the advice of doctors and nurses.
 Some very unpleasant rumors have been attached to the case and no one seems more puzzled about the incident than the police.

COTTON, BARRED
 BRITISH PRO, IN U. s. OPEN PLAY
BY l.. s. CAMERON United Press Sports EditOr)

l Columbus, O., June 27-(UP)- Americas professional golf aces were made favorites to-day over Great Britain's stars as the singles play of the biennial Ryder Cup championship got under way on the Scioto country club course.
 The United States forces won the doubles competition, to 1. While the single British victory in the two ball foursomes was cleanly earned, the margins of victory scored by some of the Americans left Fred Pignon. manager of the i invading squad only with hope that his play CTS could make decent showing in the individual play.
 Britons on Defense
 Twelve points were at stake when the contests began. With three of them already captured by the Amer jeans, the British need to win six of the eight singles contests to retain the cup.
 | Here are the pairings with the British players named first. Archie Compston vs Bill Burke. Fred Robson vs Gene SaraZen. | Abe Mitchell vs Wiffy Cox. Charles w. Whitcombe (captain) vs Walter Hagen, (captaiD. | Bert Hodson vs Densmore Shute. Ernest R. Whitcombe vs Al Espin- osa.
 Arthur Havers vs Craig Wood. l The British players not included in the singles list are Sydney East erbrook and veteran George Dun- can. Horton Smith and Leo Diegel are Americans not playing in the singles.
 Young Stars Some of the finest golf duels of the season are forecast. Hodson and Shute, two young golfers who re- gently broke into headlines, are ex- pected to attract majority of the crowd. Shute, who has been at tached by several Ohio and West Virginia clubs and is now president of Cleveland club, is well liked in the Columbus area.
 A second potential thriller will be the match between the British vet eran, Mitchell, and Cox, a Brooklyn boy who has been near the "big time' for a couple of years.
 Play will be over 36 holes. The | nfSt match was Scneduled to start at 10 a. m. EST. The Scioto course was in excellent condition after brief showers yesterday. The heat which bothered the British yesterday morn ing has subsided somewhat.
 Diegel on Form
 Yesterdays lone British vics ory was scored by Abe Mitchell and Fred Robson over Leo Diegel and Al EspinOsa, 3 to l. In the other match es. Johnny Farrell and Gene Sarazen defeated Archie Compston and w H. Davies, 8 and '; Walter Hagen and Densmore Shute defeated George Duncan and Arthur Havers 10 and g; Billy Burke and Whiffy Cox defeated Syd Easterbrook and Ernest Whitcombe. 3 and 2.
 Leo Diegers putting was cratic in the doubles and he was often in the traps and rough.
 This is the third Ryder Cup cham pionship. The first was won by the Y. s. team at Worcester, Mass, in 1927. and the second by the British at Moortown, Eng, in 1929. All of the Ryder Cup squad will compete in the Y. $. open which starts at Toledo next week. In add- tion, Henry Cotton, young British pro. will compete

Tomorrow afteroon at 2 o'clock Waterville Park will be the secen of the Public Parks league feature contest between the Gill Celtics and Acmes, two Brooklyn hines who are after one another scalp.

 Atwood vs Daly
 The Chargers will probably show Percy Atwood. former Eastern Leaguer, on the hillock and the vet eran. but still reputable Hank Ga gain behind the disc. Fitted against this duo will be Brooklyn's first string battery, namely, Ray Daly heady curve baller and Hein- ie Darlington, third leading hitter in the Brophy circuit. It should be close contest although from here the Chargers are on the short end.
 Tribes vs Tommies
 Hump" nKerwin's hustling Trip une color bearers are slight favorites t0 administer Kenny outmet Thomas club another reverse. Joe Doyle. youthful speedball twirler and conuueror of the Hills and Hearts. will oppose George Blinn recent acquisition to the Tommies who nevertheless hurled the North Finders to their first league win last week.
 Hills Look Stronger
 The Sacred Hearts have yet to break into the win column and with opposition such as the Washington H.ils facing them tomorrow 1t ap- pears they won't break into that col urnn for week at the least. Pin, terD Purcell and "Tiger" Kane will form the Tiremen's battery while the leagues best dressed player, Dick Heggerty, will probably toss them over for the Hearts with Mike Beloski of Torrington on the receiv- ing end.
