ASK FAIR
MAT REFEREE

Speculation was rife today
among District wrestling fans as
to who would be the referee for
the all-important Jim Londos-
Rudy Dusek return meeting at
the Clark Griffith Stadium one
week from tonight.
1t is certain that local fans
won't agree to Ernest Roeber or
the Philadelphian, Paul, as the
third man in the ring. It would
be fatal If either were named.
Roeber handled the first Londos-
Dusek match here, while Paul
was the arbiter in the last duel,
in which his work brought down
the ire Of the local fans.
Local mat fans contend that
ROeber and Paul were partial
to LOndOS. They permitted the
Little Greek God" to have his
own way and barred DuSek's
most effective weapon, the thor.
hammer punch.
Promoter Joe Turner is making
no haste in choosing a referee.
He wants to have a man who will
not only be satisfactory to the
fans, but also the principals as
we'll. It has been announced
that the strangle and smother
holds will be barred. Londos
claims that his Japanese side
neck wiring" is not a strangle
hold. Others think differently.
Dusek arrived in town today
and will do his training at the
Washington Auditorium, Promoter
Joe Turner reports.

the left requiring only the down
ward reach. Have a firm grip
with your left hand and either
an equal pressure with the
right, or a much lighter one
never a heavier pressure with
the right. Your left hand should
find your thumb back of the
top center of the shaft and at
least the first two knuckleS visi-
BILE. Now to swing back you
are going to push the clubhead
back with your left arm and at
the same time keep your right
elbow close to your hip. Your
left arm will sweep across close
to your body, as if you meant
to reach your left hand across
directly toward your right trou-
ers' pocket. When your left arm
toward your right trous-
where you begin to pull your
body, slow up and let your club
head swing around to the right
without being lifted.

Return of service is often
the balance that determines
the success of a match. Return
of service must be, above all,
STEADY and SURE. Careless
error in playing the return is
as bad as a double fault on
your own service.
It is no more than handicap
ping yourself just so many
points. It is folly to attempt
to blindly kill" your return of
service; play it safe and deep
to the base line.
If your opponents serve is
such that you can play a
forcing shot, play the return
hard into either corner.
Sacrifice speed for Steadiness
and accuracy. Make up your
mind before the opponent hits
his service, just where you will
place the shot.
You have the following
choices:
In the right court-(ball to
your forehand).
(a) Straight sideline shot to
opponents backhand.
(b) CroSscourt drive to op-
ponent's forehand.
-dball to your backhand
(a) CrosScourt shot to op-
opent's forehand.
Cd Straight shot to oppon-
ent's backhand.
In the left court-(ball to
your forehand
(a) Cross the court to op-
ponent'S backhand.
(b) Straight sideline shot to
opponents forehand.
-(ball to your backhandO
(a) Straight sideline shot to

(b) Cross court shot to op-
ponent'S backhand.

these be finished before Labor
Day. as the finals will be held
in the second week of Septem-
ber. Prizes for the winners will

The new ball must be used

The Washington Times feels
that a wide-open District golf
driving championship will prove
sufficiently attractive and inter
eSting to the members of every
club.
Long Drives Delight
The average golfer has a fond
ness for telling of his long drives
that went screaming down the
fairways and left him easy ap-
proaches to the green. It's those
distance-eating pokes that thrills
the golfer and it will be a proud
golfer who wins The Washington
Times golf-driving championship.

But they son learn that Will
liam and James, who resemble
each other as much as two peas
from the same pod, are twins.
Then they begin to worry for
fear that William will bat for
James, or vice versa.
Their fears, though, are un-
grounded for both youngsters,
each nearing his eleventh birth
day, has a remarkable knowledge
of the rules of baseball and love
the game as is only fitting. since
they are in a way royal prince
lings of the national pastime.
Billie and Jimmy are the sons
of Mrs. Jane Robertson, of 65l6
Eighth st. N. w., and since she
is a sister of Clark Griffith, preSi-
dent of the Washington baseball
club, they are nephews OF the
Old Fox. Griffith was a famous
baseball player in his day, one
of the greats of the diamond,
and Billy any Jimmy have ambi-
tions to follow in his footsteps.
Hope to Play Pro Ball
In fact they have very definite
ideas on the subject, and when
asked what they were going to
be when they grow to man S
estate, answered in one voice:
Baseball players s-prOfes-
! SiOnalS."
And then they qualified their
joint statement:
I'VE are going to try"
At present Billie and Jimmy
are star outfielders on the Joe
Kuhels, one of the star Peewee
clubs in The Times League.
Prior to July Is they were with
the Clark Griffiths. another team,
but made the transfer just in the
nick of time. July Is being the
last date for transfers. Both are
righthanders, afield and at bat,
and have already made excellent
regulations for their years.
Happy Over Discards
While both youngsters are firm
in the belief that Joe Cronin.
Washington shortstop, is the
greatest baseball player in the
world, Billy plays with a glove
formerly worn by Alvin Crowder,
National moundsman, while
Jimmy boasts of one Of Fred
Marberry's discards. Their bats,
too, were discarded by Washing
ton players.
Billy and Jimmy try TO see
every baseball game that the
Nationals play in Washington,
but despite their loyalty to
their uncle's team they are
more loyal to their own and If
their clubs schedule interferes
with their seeing the Nationals
play then they are stadium
abSenteeS.
The Kuhels are practically as
sured Of winning their division OF
the Peewee class and unless the
unforeseen happens. will be in the
playoffS at Griffith Stadium on
August 26 and 81. The Kuhels
are going to be all dressed up in
new uniforms for that event, and
some of the money to be spent
for them was donated by Griffith,
Jimmy and Billy soliciting the
subscription.
Billy and Jimmy have often
roamed around on the stadium
diamond, and played catch with
some Of Washington's stars, but
when and if the Kuhels get in
the playoff that will be their
first appearance there in a real
game-an event which they hope

What Is the Kremlin?
(New York Herald-Tribune.)

Paris has it's Quai dOrsay which is a water front along the Seine street, railroad station and Foreign Office wills to the term Germany has it's Wilhemstrasse, Austia it's Ball. platz, and though the street like the square houses many buildings 1t is universally accepted as synonym for the Foreign Office When you say Downing Street" anywhere in Europe you understood referring to the British Foreign Of flee, though Number Ten is not the only building on that short street. But in America never use West Executive Avenue" instead of State Depart ,ment" and the current term for Moscow foreign policy, "the Kremlin," is a msnomer.
 For the Foreign Office in Moscow is not in the Kremlin; and the Krernlin is not, as many SUD- pose, public building The word is, indeed an old Russian term meaning fortress" and many cities besides Moscow have their kremlins. But the old cluster of buildings the hill that overlooks Mos COW, who has been for centuries and more surrounded by wall, is the Kremin to Russia and to the world
 It was once forest clearing this terraced hill of the Russian Czars Its turreted battements make 8 bulwark mile and a half long, and, though the old meats gone and the statue of the Czar Alexander has been torn down from the Kremlin Square, the Kremn is still the center of the power that rules Russia. Its dozen churches are now museums, but the barracks still house cadets, the 875 cannon taken from Napoleon still frown down upon the Moskva River, and the royal palaces now house a host of Soviet commssars and high officials And where once the Czar's Supreme Court sat, the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union now has its headquarters. The Kremlin may not be the home of a Foreign Office but it is the center whence the will of the Soviet rulers radiates to the Black Sea and to the Pacific.

COMMISSIONS WORK IS NOT ENDED.

Perhaps the stress that has been laid on the expectancy of the Prohibition report of the Presi- dents Law Enforcement Commission has blinded most of the public to the fact that its mission was much broader in scope than that. Prohibition was only one phase, of the most important, it is true but there is a great deal of work left for it to do.
 All crime does not spring from violations of the Dry laws There are questions arising over the entire country affecting every State with which the Commission is expected to deal. Prisons every where are overwhelmed by the mass of convicts which courts are thrusting upon them Their walls bulge from the pressure. Mutinies stalk in many of them and discontent is rife in them all New prisons are being constructed by State and Federal authorities to in turn be filled by prisoners from courts whose dockets are jammed with cases to which there seems to be no end.
 What is the source of this rapidly mounting prison population? What lead to the endless court calendars? Are we becoming progressively vicious with age? Are crime and criminals getting encouragement from laws and our system of judicial procedure? Is the growth in the nations prison population due to acts which have been made legasticaly criminal by sumptuary legislation? Does our pententiary system tend to extend rather thar curtan lawlessness?
 These are some of the questions which the Law has a lengthy and difficult task ahead, and ont that will tax it's ability and ingenuity quite a. much as, apparently, did the Prohibition issue.

Turmoil in Turkey.
Cincinnati Enquirer.0


 Renal Pasha with his trends toward modern Western progress appears to be facing some real difficulties. But of the keymen of the world, he is expected to make good in his forward-ooking work in the interests of the former Turkish Empire Just at present Renal is moving to reestabish the Turkish chekas the tribunals of independence which in 1925 rounded up the Sheik Said rebels.
 There is rather widespread religious revolt in Turkey, sponsored by those who would see a return of the Caliphate
 The Turkish President deals in no half way measures. He is direct actionst when it comes to matters of government The recent religious re- volt at Menemen, in the view of Angora officials, invites the Government to wipe out all adherents of the Islamic regime, who number hundreds of thousands and who continue active in their antag- onism to the republic
 A policy of stern repression will be adopted by the Government against all sheiks, dervishes and others who seek to pit their strength against that of the authority and policies of the republic Tur- key is not yet delivered from the incubus Of cen tures of despotc and fanatical rule but the world is looking to the inscrutable Mustapha to make good in his efforts to conform his people ano nation to the pattern of modern civilization

SPECIAL SESSION LOOMS.

The present Congress has less than six weeks in which to complete it's labors, since it auto matically expires on March 4. It is faced still with majority of the regular departmental Guppy measures which carry funds for the normal conduct of Government for the next fiscal year These bills have to be passed either by the current Congress or at a special session of the next one
 Half of the short term has expired and much less than half of the necessary work remains to be done, Muscle Shoals remains unsettled The Prohibition report of the Wickersham Committee is in the hands of Congress for consideration That any action on it's recommendations will be had seems to be extremely doubtful but it will be de- bated particularly in the Senate where lung-power is the only limit set speech making, at great length. Thus, despite the fact that no one-except possibly few Senators-desires such consumma- ton, the probabilities strong for special ses- sion of Congress.
