those now counted great had to die to achieve
such distinction, had to stay dead long time

Nations and individuals.

BY the Associated Press.
DODGE CITY, Kans., May 30
Charles c. Isely seeks nomination as
United States Senator from Kansas be-
cause he believes debt adjustment is a
good policy both for individuals and ma
tions.
A Republican from the Western part Of
the State, Isely has said he prefers to
stick to his grain and lumber business,
but can find no one to sponsor his
debt plan.
In explaining his position, Isely uses
as an example farmer who owes him
money and can't pay. Rather than de-
mand payment, Isely suggests the bet
ter plan is to visit the farmer, study
his situation and reduce the debt to
proportions he probably can pay. Thus,
he says, the farmer is encouraged, part
Of the debt is collected and the farmer
remains friend instead of becoming
an enemy.
THAT applies to the internatia1Al
situation" says Isely. Il am dead
against that high tariff"

Tilden Meets German Giants
In Feature Match of Pro Net
Play; Bill Beaten in Double

makes his second bid for victory, this
time against Burke. Late in the day
Tilden and Najuch will pair against
Pare and Burke in doubles.
But it is tomorrow's card of matches
that smacks of real championship ten
mis-. Tilden will make his swan song
appearance when he matches his wiz
ardry against the incredible Steadies of
Burke. Three times this year Tilden
has fallen before Burke. whose classic
Continental strokes are pictures which
no student of tennis can well afford to
miss.
TOMORROW action breaks loose at
l. 2:30 o'clock, when Pare plays
Najuch in singles. This is a
match which brings together the light
est and heaviest professional tennis
players extant. Pare, always slight
young man, has not taken on weight
since deserting amateur ranks and
still weighs about 1875. Najuch's weight
f1uctuates between 21O and 225. He
has a stomach which Tiny Roebuck
might well be proud of, but he skips
about the court with the grace of a
ballet master. In his round house fore
hand drive he packs even more wallop
than Tilden.
The doubles match tomorrow after
noon is likely to cap the three-day pro-
gram in sensational style. for Tildcn
and Pare will pair to meet the vicious
shoots of Burke and Najuch.
Tickets for today's and tomorrow's
matches are on sale at Spaldings and
