ON DEBT TALK

The United States is willing to
participate in a world economic
conference to discuss ways and
means for raising and stabilizing
commodity prices, but will have
nothing to do with any parley at
which war debts and reparations
are discussed.
This point of view was reaf-
firm at the State Department to-
day in response to inquiries
whether this government would
send representatives to a meeting
to be held in London Ito discuss
the second half of the agenda Of
the Lausanne Conference"
So long as the two meetings
were completely separated, and
providing there were no discus
sions of debts or reparations at
the London meeting, this govern
ment would have no objections to
being represented there, the State
Department said.

RESUMES
WORK, REPORT

NEW YORK, June 2 GN.S).
Although officials of Rockefeller
Institute refused formally to con-
firm or deny the report, it was
understood today that Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh in the past several
days has resumed his research
work as an assistant to DR.. Alexis
Carrel, Nobel prize winner.
Shortly before the body of his
infant son was found, it was re-
vealed through a short article
published in the weekly periodical
Science that Colonel Lindbergh,
prior to the kidnapping, had in
vented a centrifugal device for
DR.. Carrel's use. The article was
signed by Colonel Lindbergh.
At the time of the kidnapping
he was engaged at the institute
in fashioning a pump which
would circulate blood or other
fluids through hearts and other
organs in a natural manner. 1t
is believed he has resumed in
termittent visits to the institute
to continue with this research
problem.

had been shattered.
Claude Garon brought $150,000
worth of liquor from France con-
signed to EnSenada. Garon sold
$4,000 worth of it to a Los
Angeles bootlegger, who gave a
bad check, Didot said.
Garon was jailed by Mexican
authorities because he had no
money to pay duty. and his crew,
Didot said. had been drinking the
liquor in lieu of water and food.

6. v. COACHES.
CONFIDENT

CAMP LET'S, Md, Sept. 9.
George Washington University's
football coaches are today admit
ting their confidence in the
Colonial gridiron squad following
three 30-minute Scrimmages over
a period of three afternoons.
While each Scrimmage to date
has proven the theory of the
coaching staff, that letter men
must be accepted as superior play
ers and that new candidates must
prove their worth, nevertheless the
performances of the new men to
date have indicated that the
yearlings of last year are deServ-
ing of as much confidence as the
veterans.
Yesterdays individual honors in
scrimmage were equally divided be-
tween a veteran and newcomer.
Frank Blackstone, veteran center,
played a remarkable defense yes
terday, while Johnny Baker, half
back a newcomer. attracted at
tention by his ability to block as
we'll as to carry the ball.
Blackstone unceremoniously
dumped plays throug'- the center
of the line, and got out to aid
ends and tackles on other plays.
Baker got off several fairly long
runs and proved his merit as a
ball carrier. However, in the mat
ter of blockin, he was the out
standing back on the field.
Coach Jim Pixlee may send the
squad through another scrimmage
this afternoon, making it four in
four days.
The freshman team did not
scrimmage yesterday, the Reds"
(veteranS) being pitted against
the Colds" (newcomers). The
yearlings practiced for two hours
in the afternoon, running through
signals and using plays and forma-
tions which are employed by
Washington and Lee, G. WIS first
opponent.

Called Outstanding
After getting the kinks out of
his legs yesterday the titleholder
shot a 1888, for a total IS, while
Guilford slugged his way to a 73.
Four of his own young Walker
cup team mates were named by
Ouimet today as the outstanding
players in the championship.
They are Gus Moreland, Dallas,
Tex, who was invited to play in
the international matches at
Brookline after he shot his way
to the Western amateur cham
pionship; Charles s yer, Robust

A protege of Bobby Jones,
Charlie Yates, of Atlanta, has
been supplying the small pre-
tourney gallery with succession
of thrills. Yates who is celebrat-
mig his nineteenth birthday to-
day, shot the last twelve holes in
one under par yesterday to post

perfect figures on the first six
holes. He ripped off a 73 on the

Play Home Schedule

Needless to say the Sing
Sing schedule is entirely a
home affair, travelling being be-
yond the question even with
regular warden like Lawes and
o regular coach like John Law.
Tackling, blocking, kicking
and passing, terms all familiar
to most of the Sing Sing habi-
tues. are taught them in a diff
ferent form than they practiced
on the outside.
Another new formation with
a familiar ring is the famous
guard around" play made
famous by Law and Tim Moyni-
han at South Bend and way
stations.
Law himself, as guard and CO,
captain with Tim Moynihan at
Notre Dame, brought to it's
highest point of perfection the
"guard-around" system which
carried him back from the line
into the interference.
incidentally, all Sing Sing
practices are secret. Says Law:
= 81 never saw a team so good
at the hidden-ball play, and fur
thermOre my boys VIII: ieal the
signals from any team we ever
play"
Law further says he seldom
loses a man by graduation and
that there is no three-year
varsity rule at dear old Sing
Sing.

BOTH TEAMS
READY FOR
BATTLE
BY SID KATZNELL

It's hhigh time Washingtonians
realize that policemen and fire
men are their true friends.
They have for years been chief
contributors to charitable organi-
cations, giving freely not only
of their time but also cash. They
protect properties and lives of
the citizens at the risk of their
own every day.
The least that the conscientious
citizen can do is attend their an
nual baseball game, which will be
staged at the Griffith Stadium
this Saturday at 2:30 p. m.
The game is another shining
example of the generosity of the
police and firemen, for all the
proceeds (every cent of IT'D will
go to the unemployed Of Wash
ington.
Game Worth While
The game will be we'll worth
seeing from the standpoint of
baseball. Both teams possess
players of stellar ability, men
who have made names for them
selves locally through many years
of excellent service on local Ind
lot and Semipro aggregationS.
Colorful and highly interesting
ceremonies will be added features.
The Firemen have Sonny Bur
dine, former minor league star
and a hitter of extraordinary
qualities. They have two good
pitchers in Calvin Hull and Dex-
ter Beachman. Hull and Beach
man are both intelligent mounds
men and have plenty Of stuff on
the old apple.
Such stellar performers as
Frank Watt, former Philadelphia
National League hurler; Ernie
HiSer, Ben Campbell, Johnny
Sine and Frank Hoffman are
listed on the police roster.
The firemen have defeated
Ballston A. c., Arlington county
champions, st. Mary'S Celtics,
Alexandria Police and Diamond
Cab. On the other hand the
police diamonders have downed
G. p. o., first half Departmental
League champions; Columbia
Heights, Capital City League
winners and Colesville batters.
Excellent Trim
Capt. o. r. Moxley, athletic
officer in charge of the firemen,
along with Calvin Hull, manager
of the nine, and Sonny Burdine
have kept the aggregation in eX-
cellent playing condition.
Inspector o. T. Davis, athletic
officer in charge of the Police
team, and Baseball Captain Ben
Campbell have been equally as
helpful to their nine.
The series between the Police
men and Firemen stand sail and
Saturdays contest will be the
rubber game. Last year a little
more than $4,000 was taken in
and all indications point to an
other great gs$e this season.
