 Japanese warcraft came into the harbor yesterday to increase the force already there; landed ma rines: and after at first indicating a delay in the occupation of the city, dropped shells into the Woo- sung forts to silence them, and moved into Chapel, the native sec- ton of Shanghai.
 Stiff fighting followed.
 This startling finale came within only few hours of the announc. ed Japanese intention to delay forceful action to see If the Chinese fulfilled pledges to drop the anti. Japanese boycott and other anti Japanese activities.
 In occupying the city, the Japa- nese merely announced they would proceed, but with explaining or justifying their course. Prior to the movement, Chinese soldiers in the Woosuhg forts had sniped at a Japanese trawler and there had

GIRLS MAY WEAR SHORTS TO PLAY
 TENNIS GAMES

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The ques- ton of shorts versus skirts for women tennis players has split the city, north and south, and east and west.
 The question arose when the Irving Park district ordered girls to wear skirts on the tennis courts or stay at home. That brought ar edict from the Lincoln Park district that the girls could wear what they pleased as long as they wore something.
 The South Park district stepped in with a ruling that girls could wear shorts on indoor courts If they wished but would have to be garbed in skirts for outdoor play.
 The Health Commissioner, Her man N. Bundesen was appealed to. He didn't know what shorts were, but after they were described to him gave approval from the stand point of health. "The more skin exposed to the sum-" said Dr Bundesen, "the better"

DOPE SCRAMBLERS

The Detroit Tigers and Pitts burgh Pirates have scrambled more big league dope, than any other outfits.
 Both were figured to finish in | the second division but they have shown no inclination whatver to drop into the lower levels, The Tigers, as well as every other trailer in the American League can just about discern the bulky forms of the New York Yankees in the distance at the present time, but Bucky Harris has shown he can do a good reconstruction job.
 Before the season, Bucky wrote me he would be delighted if his club could make the first djvis- ion this year and gratifying, amaz- ed, or words to that effect, if his Tigers broke into the Eastern Big Three" which has been perform ing the circuit. It looks now as though he has good chance to do it.
 i George Gibsons showing with the Pirates is another tribute to aggressive leadership. Baseball men always have considered the former backstop one of the most spirited leaders. He has demon strated what he can do by mak- ing an actual pennant contender out of pretty much the same out : fit that dawlded in the second division last year.

The Phillies and the Braves are the only two National League clubs that have not figured in the world series payoff since the war.
 It's about time, therefore, and no more than fair in these times, that a couple of clubs accustomed to being bounced around by more plutocratic rivals be given a chance to come through.
 The odds may be 10 to 1 against either Boston or Philadelphia com- ing through, but much stranger things have happened, in addition to which both have shown that they have more weapons than us- ual with which to carry on the summer warfare.
 The Braves had good pitching last year. They have better pitch ing now, with Bobby Brown and Huck Betts coming right out oi clear blue sky to turn in some sensational work. The club has better infield and enough punch to take it's share of the close ones
 The main factors insofar as the Phillies are concerned are much improved infield, stronger outfielc and a pitching staff reinforced by the development of Ed Holley and acquisition of Flint Rhem from the Cardinals. Burt Shotten'S broad d-shouldered boys don't have to worry about the old wallop. They i have plenty of what it takes to make an opposing pitchers life un- comfortable.

hours run as one of the best running results of the world, but they added that if I could last for the remaining 100 yards, or thus run the full 12 miles, that record would be hors concours. In times gone by, I could have done this, perhaps still. In any case it is absolutely certain that 12 miles will be run yet in the hour, per- haps even a yard or two more. But before that, 10 men will have run the mile under 4'10.
 Amazing Marathon Records
 The 10 mile record C50:15) which I got as an intermediary step in my one hours run in Berlin, and the Is mile record held by the Canadian Bricker, are remarkable, but on the other hand, the 20 mile record is weak. These dis tances are run very seldom how ever, which explains the case.
 One often hears it said, that the Marathon is more luck than match of organized work. That may have happened to some of the old runners and may even happen to many a runner again, but it must not happen with all. The Marathon is a match run on ra- tional power-economy. This dis tance will be run well by the man who can ration the power he spends and distribute his speed correctly
 The speed in the Marathon should be as uniform as possible. The difference in time for the two halves of the distance must not be more than minutes It is i just the fact that the runners have not been able to ration theil speed correctly which has brought about a disappointment to many of them. Let us refresh our mem ory. Dorando had in London ar ,, initial speed altogether out of pro- portion; my compatriot Tatu Kol' ehmainen, who perhaps otherwise was the best Marathon runner 1T the Stockholm games had in tht same manner an absolutely i'm. possible initial speed, the Estoniar i surprise Juri LoSsman again a Antwerp saved himself too much and only at the end he saw tha- l he had left lot out of his power Etcetera. There are plenty of ex amples. The Japanese and th' Films lost their chances in tht Marathon run of Antwerp by run ming one another in the beginning to the point of choking. My com patriot Stenroos who won in th' Parisian games can thank his pow CT of rationing his speed while tht match lasted.
 i I am just beginning, while writ ing these lines, to get ready fo the games at Los Angeles. Ther' are a lot of things that may hap Z pen before them. But, if I vii come to run Che Marathon be meath the sun of California, I vii try to use my common sense an' my watch.
 Then the worlds record will fal in the minute market.

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS
 In 1926 I ran the-for American conditions-fairly seldom used dis tance of 5000 meters in 8:2O4. hold this record as one Of my very best, and its value is increas- ed by the fact that I achieved this result in a severe duel with Wide. The two mile record for open air tracks which held good up to last summer for instance cannot even be compared With it. The tWo-mlle record was of course lowered con- siderably last summer. Helped by pacemakers I-just on the thresh- hold of old age-managed to do It in 8:59. That is not any brilliant achievement, but it is just worth mentioning. In the pink of con- dition" I might have been able to do it in 8:50-8:52 perhaps. In one respect I have been as careless as all other great men in the history of athletics. I have not worried about polishing up my records and bringing them as far down as pos sible while there still was time, and possibilities.
 The ooinion in Europe is that the 5000 meters worlds record 14:28.2 was something of an ultra class kind. But that is not the case. irrespective of the fact that only Ritola and I have gone under 13:3O. We might have both done better. Besides, the present rec ord came about without my knew ing it. During the actual run ming I had no idea of my time at the intermediary stages. If had only known when running the times for the separate rounds, l should certainly have forced my speed.
 The Greatest" Race
 The present Is kin record is more of a fluke than the result Of a purposeful run. The record was run in our lovely town of Knopplo. Before the match I had a bad at tack of lumbago for week before Ritola and Wide consider the re- suit 30:O6.2 as one of the best of my achievements, together with the record for the hours run. Oth-
