sPy's HOUSE UP FOR SALE
Home Of Mata Hari
Vacant Since Her
Execution
Won SCHLEICH

PARIS, July 26 GN.sO-
Honeycombed with disappearing
staircases and secret doorways,
the house where Mata Hari lived
during her adventurous career
as a spy in the World War was
offered for sale today.
The house, ghoStly structure
half-timbered in English style,
has been vacant since the famous
dancer was executed for espion'
age in 1915. No one has wanted
to rent it in all those years and
executors of her estate are not
particularly optimistic over the
chances of a sale.
The house stands on the banks
of the Seine at Neuilly, fashion
able suburb of Paris. Its windows
are of stained glass, lending a
somber touch, and the iron grill
work on the windows of Mata
Harris former bed-chamber bear
testimony to the guarded con-
claves that took place in the
war days.
It was in this room, reached
by means of narrow passages and
secret stairways, that Mata Hari
received the importnt men who
would tell her secrets OF state.

LONG WILL HELP
MRS, CARAWAY

Capitol political circles were
animated today by a report that
Senator Huey Long (D) Of
Louisiana will stump Arkansas,
urging the denomination Of Sen
ator Hattie w. Caraway to the
U. S. Senate.
The report was verified at Mrs.
Caraway's Washington office.
Longs decision to make q whirl-
wind campaign in Arkansas prior
to the Democratic primary Au-
gust 9, was regarded as a new
chapter in his feud with Joe T..
Robinson, Democratic Senate
leader.
In a recent eulogy of Mrs. Cara
ways voting record. Long asserted
that "she has often voted con-
trary to the advice of her own
party leader, who comes from
her own State"
Enmity between Long and Rob
inson caused the Louisiana King
fish" to resign from his Senate
committees.
In urging denomination of the
nations first elective woman Sen
ator, the fiery Louisianan will
carry his war against Robinson
inside the latter's defenses.
Every speech he makes in Mrs.
Caraway's behalf, will offer him
the chance to attack the Demo
cratic Senate leader, at least by
implication.

 STRIKE LATEST SPORT INNOVATION
Seabright Play Will Go on as Scheduled - First Tennis "Walkout' on Record

New York, July 23-(UP)- Thirteen of the country's crack players have written a new chapter into tennis history by withdrawing from the historic Seabright invita- ton tournament because the Sea- bright club refused to pay their ex- penses for the duration of the tourney.
 Officials of the club said the tour nament would start at Seabright, N. J., on Monday as scheduled, de- spite this room and board strike". They said they. had plenty of tennis stars on the waiting list who would be ready to fill the 13 vacant berths in the competition. The tourney runs for a week.
 Bad News
 Their formal withdrawal yester- day followed receipt of a message from Hooker Talcott, chairman of the tournament committee. stating that the club would not pay ex- penses of players arer their elim- ination from the tournament. , The 13 strikers had threatened on Thursday to withdraw unless the club guaranteed to defray their expenses for the full week and not only while they remained in com petition.
 Talcott explained in his message that the club was staging the an- nual tournaments at an actual loss. contrary to the players under standing, and that the club would not change the expense policy adopted last year.
 The "Strikefs"
 Those who staged the first tennis "walkout" included Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, intercollegiate champion and sixth in the national ranking Keith G1edhill of Santa Barbara, Calf, 1881 intercollegiate champion and eighth in ranking. and Berkeley Bell of Texas, tenth ranking player.
 The others were Eugene Me- Cauliffe, w. F. Coen, Jr, Joseph Coughlin, H. M. Culley, Bryan Grant, J. Gilbert Hall, Jake H. Hess Jr, David N. Jones, Richard Murphy and Julius Seligson.
 Only three nationally known players now remain in the fixture, Gregory Mangin, Sidney Wood and Lester Stoeffen.

New York, July 23--(U. P.) - The Philadelphia Athleties' return to championship form stands out as the most impressive feature of this weeks play in the major leagues.
 Bolstered by improved hitting and pitching, the Mackmen won six out of their last seven games. They beat the St. Louis. Browns four out of five;rtook one from De- troit and one from Washington
 They replaced the formidable Cleveland Indians in second posi- tion in the American League rank ing and maintained that advantage while the Indians were having a picnic at the expense of the tail- end Boston Red Sox.
 Roger Cramer, Mickey Cochrane and Max Bishop have been crattl- ing out hits with renewed ,vigor. as Jimmy Foxx and Al Simmons con- tinued their dependable slugging.

 ing in need of little extra sugar,
 I sat myself down today and tried
 to puzzle out the most likely win ner of the elimination tournament
 Madison Square Garden plans to find challenger for Jack Sharkey's heavyweight title. None of the eligibles had a rec- | ord that wasn't spotted like a ma-
 ture leopard. All have been beat
 en recently. Most of them more
 than once.
 Ernie Schaaf and Pauline Uzcu-
 dun. who inaugurate the tourna-
 nient with 15-round joust in the
 bowl Monday night. were kicked their last time out. Schaaf talk ing beating from Stanley Poreda. and Pauline lowing to Mickey Walker. E Well, you say, why not risk few dollars on Walker and Poreda. Oh yeah! Those two babies got theirs too. Johnny Risko polished off Walker a few weeks ago and Poreda took the count after catch ing one of Salvatore Ruggirello's
 right swings on the profile. Risko ms been knOCkeu Oul, dl oilc tiHiS or another. by half the male pop
 ulation of the country. And the canvas is no stranger to Ruggirello.
 Max Baer, the California adonis, Is living proof that defeats can't keep a good man down. Licked
 here by Schaaf and Loughran. Max travelled to Reno and was taken
 over the hurdles by Pauline. Yet
 here he is today. all set to take a
 shot at the important money. King Levinsky. Tommy Lough-
 ran and Steve Hamas are other
 tourney eligibles who have taken
 their share of beatings, Levinsky
 was out -galioped by Baer: while Loughran's achievement include pastings>at the hands of Levinsky
 and Hamas, and Hamas, not so
 long ago, was trimmed by Laugh ran.
 So you see. trying to pick the winner on the strength of past per
 formances is impossible. It gets
 you dizzy. Probably the safest
 wager to make Is that when it's all over. Max Schmeling will be on top with nobody to fight. Sharkey may take him on again. but I'd
 hate to hold my breath until he does.
