Down among the fields of lower

of track and hired locomotive
but to the people in that section if
is an important outlet to the largo

the Maryland and Delaware Coast
Railway, running from Denton. Nd.

which a great part of the holly

the Philadelphia markets is car
ried. II has been bought from the
receiver for $26,100 by Winthrop
Sargent, Jr., a Haverford attorney
with offices in Philadelphia. Mr
Sargent, who is associated with
Eastman, Dillon & Co., held some
of the bonds in the railroad. Rath-
er than see it sold to another bid
der for 5000, he bought it him
self at what he call scrap
price" 1t is his intention to per
nit the receivers to operate the
road as they have been doing if the
people in the country it serves will
it. Just now the only cars
moving over the line are those
that take coal and other commod-
tiles to the Delaware-Maryland
section. "The road can be made
to pay" Mr.. Sergeant said. There
IS a cannery there, ard the farm

operation. Otherwise, a rising
scrap market will encourage me to
dispose of the rails and to return

Leadership Was Lacking

! am not a pacifst. Until en-
lightened understanding points us
to the council table of peace rather
than to the battlefield, there will be
a need for armies and navies. But
let US not say that we choose the
latter course in ignorance of the
tremendous costs of the game.
Rather let US admit generally the
lack Of courageous leadership which
dares to align itself with the right
at the risk Of being unpopular.
The point / would make is that,
without prejudice as to guilt, the
human element did fail in 1914, and
the world then began its march to
Smyrna times., 1932-03-30

methods for the prevention of fu-
ture defaults.
But l cannot escape the conclu-
sion that the dawn of the present
situation broke over the world in
July, 1914, and it came not from
ignorance of the ultimate results of
the course chosen, but because of a
complete breakdown of world po--
litical sanity.
There was no lack of knowledge
Of the consequences, but rather of
courage to face the facts, to throttle
national pride, and to demand COM
mon counsel in an honest search for
a basis of peace. Such a search
might have failed, but, unfortunate
ly, history does not indicate that it
was honestly made.

CITIZENS TO PRESS
GAS TANK FIGHT
Manor Park Group Hopeful in
Move to Prevent
Location There.

Determined that their community
shall not become known as 'out by the
gas tank" Manor Park citizens last
night instructed their delegates to con-
tinued in their fight against the pro-
posed location of a gas container on
what Is known as the Murphy tract.
The delegates, coming to the meeting
direct from a hearing before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, in which the
different phases of the gas tank loca-
tion had been discussed for several
hours, expressed encouragement at the
outlook for the defeat of the PROJECT
which they have been combating for
many months.
Second Hearing Called.
The commission, following yesterday S
hearing, ordered another to be nelo on
Anril 27. at which aot only the
Murphy tract location will be discussed
but the possibility of locating at Ter
rs Gotta. about a third of a mile south
nf the Murphy tract, and other sites
will be considered.
The Murphy tract lies along the west
side of the Baltimore g. Ohio right
of way, south of Riggs road, and east
of Rock Creek Church road. The as
sociation definitely favors the location
of the gas holder to be 300 feet IN
diameter and about 155 feet in height
on the Terra Gotta site, as it will not
then detract from property values IN
Its area, or any other, members SAID.
The association was represented at
the hearing yesterday by its president,
w. H. Seaquist; Mrs. E. Morgan Pryse,
r. D. France, T. w. Buckley, HERBERT
Wilson and B. H. Pullman.
Other Groups Protest.
Other citizen groups which pro-
tested against the proposed location OF
the gas tank included Chillum Heights,
Petworth, Brightwood and Takoma
Park
On motion of one Of its members,
who said he received book of traf-
f1c regulations dated 1925 on appllca-
ton but a few days ago, the Manor
PARK group instructed its secretary to
ask the Traffic Bureau that new regu-
lations be incorporated into motor
lists handbook and published for dis
tribution among District drivers.
Plans were made for the third an
nual joint Spring meeting and dance
with the Whittier School Parent
Teacher Association.

Gledhill, Bell Move To- ward Finals - Women FavOrites Progress

Providence, R. l., July - GU | P.)-Four seeded players will meet in the two semi-final matches in the Rhode Island mems singles championship on the Agawam
 Hunt Club grass courN to-day. One of them, Richard Murphy of Utica, N. r., provided the biggest upset of the tournament to qualify
 yesterday, eliminating Fritz Mer- cur of Williamsport, Pa, n straight
 sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.
 Keith Gledhill of Santa Barbara Calf, defending champion and one of the favorites, reached the semi
 final brackets only after dull five
 set struggle with Dave Jones oi New York. The scores were 8-6 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 60.
 As Usual The other two semi-finalists, Jack Tidball of Los Angeles, and Berk- eley Bell of Austin, Texas, won their matches yesterday in straight sets, the former eliminating Mar tin Buxby of New York, 7-5, 8-6,
 6-1, and the latter defeating Jake
 Hess of Forth Worth,> Texas. GA, GA, 6-1.
 The semi-final brackets in wo-
 mems singles were filled yesterday

ley which protects 1t from the full sweep of the wind, and has great scenic charm"
 3. Washington's three arm rig ger, invention of Pocock, caused quite bit of comment here. Two inches higher than the others, the rig is supposed to prevent water splashing into the boat.
 4. Nobody knew it at the time, but Herb Day stroked yesterday for Washington in place of Ed Ar gensinger, who switched to Days No, post Argensinger has been troubled with sinus miseries and Coach Ulbrickson thought the change might help. Help what? Argensinger's sinus or the speed of the boat.
 5. Syracuses overwhelming de- feat by Penn A. c. only served to deepen the mystery surrounding Coach Jim Teneyck's shakeup of the orange boatload, which includ- ed the benching of Tom Lombardi, giant stroke. One of the dark ru- mors going the rounds is that Lombardi fell from grace at Poughkeepsie and Teneyck would mt have let him back in the boat even if he was the greatest stroke since Homer Hassenpheffer. The last named gent, you will remem- Der, stroked Washington across the Delaware.
 6. Lombardi watched his crew lose perched on a stump on the Worcester shore. He looked about as happy as an after dinner speak CT whose suspenders have just broken.
 z. Lombardrs mates made the Syracuse situation all the more intriguing when they gathered af- ter the race and elected the husky Jamaica, N. r., boy captain of the 1893 crew.
 8. California and Penn A. c. picked by most of the experts to qualify as the finalists, use a stroke that is remarkably similar in it's shortness which throws most of the work on the arms and legs. It gets you places and in hurry.

The second-place Tigers bounced on the Yankees yesterday to win in the tenth inning 8 to the first western team to defeat the Tanks on home grounds this season.
 This victory chopped the Yankee lead down to six and one-half games. If the Tigers can maintain the pace they may cut the lead still further.
 The Tigers ,outhit Joe McCar- thy's highly touted sluggers, 12 to 10, and drove from the mound the famous Lefty Gomez, mailing him with his third defeat of the sea- son.
 Mccarthy was so certain he had the game sewed up at the end of the eighth iHning that he allowed Babe Ruth to leave the game, after the Bambino had registered three hits and driven in three runs.
 Gomez replaced Dannie Moray den in teh ninth with two on base and none out. But a walk, 8 single and asacrfice accounted for three runs. In the tenth Senor Gomez blew up, wolking four men in a row. He was replaced by Ed Wells, who allowed single, scoring two runners.
 Senators Slapped
 Cleveland replaced Washington in fourth position by beating the Senators twice, 3 to ?, and to 3. Jack Russell allowed seven hits in winning the opener. Vosmik ac- counted for three Indian runs In the nightcap with a triple and a home run.
 Connie Mack's Athletics and the Chicago White Sox split a double header, the Chisox taking the first, 13 to 3, and dropping the second, g to 3. Fothergill, App1ing and Hayes hit homers for Chicago in the opener, and Dykes did likewise for the As.
 The St Louis Browns scored four runs in the first inning and over whelmed the humble Boston Red Sox, 8 to 2.
 Bucs Shaky
 In the National League, the New York Giants halted the leading Pittsburg Pirates winning streak at six straight by defeating them, 4 to 3. This cut the Pirates lead to two and one-half games, as the second place Chicago Cubs blank ed the Phillies. to 0.
 Home runs by Hargrave in the second inning and Shires in the eighth enabled the Boston Braves to nose out the St Louis Cardinals. 5 to 4.
 Brooklyn at Cincinnati was rain- ed out.

PIAZZA BEATEN BY LARRIVEE IN
 THRILLING BOUT
Waterbury Boy Gets Clear Decision at Boston Leo in Trouble But Fine ished Strong

Boston, July S-(UP)-Leo Lar rivee of Waterbury, Conn, success fully defended his New England middleweight title when he won the unanimous verdict of the refe- rec and judges in his 12-round bout with Odonne. Piazza of Italy at Fenway Park last night.
 The bout was one of the most thrilling seen here recently, both boxers battling at a fast pace from start to finish, each seeking to be the aggressor.
 Jabbing and hooking to the face and slugging his right alternately to the head and body, apparently tireless, Larrivee amassed clear margin soon after the bout start ed, that Piazza. despite his gallant rallies. could not overcome.
 The defending champion won seven of the rounds, four went to the challenger and one was. even.
 Dangerous
 Piazza threatened several times to score a knockout victory, sev- eral times dazing Larrivee when his hard rights found their mark. Piazza's biggest bid came in the fourth when a hard right to the jaw buckled Larrivee's knees and dazed him. The champion fioun- dered about the ring, ducking, bob ping, and covering up before Piaz- za's efforts to follow up his advan- tage. He successfully eluded the Italian until he recovered and was carrying the fight to Piazza when the round ended. .
 Larrivee weighed 160, and Piaz- ga 159.

HAGEN, VON ELM PRESS COOPER FOR
 CANADIAN LEAD
'LighthOrse Harry Shoots Four Under Par in Open- ing Round at Ottawa

Ottawa, July s.-(UP)-"Light- horse" Harry Cooper of Chicago, holding a one-stroke lead over the field, was in an excellent spot to- day to win his first important golf ing title, as the Canadian open tournament swung into its second round.
 Cooper shot a blistering 69 yes- terday to tie the course record held by Jack Mclaughlin of Ottawa and break par by four strokes. He went out in 35 and was home in 34. Only once did he. go over par, on the ninth hole when he took three butts to get six. His round included five birdies.
 "The Haig'' There
 Walter Hagen, the defending champion, and George Won Elm of Detroit, each had 70 to tie for second place. Hagen's round was remarkable because it was the first he ever shot over the course. He arrived almost five hours late and, along with Jose Jurado of the Arr gentine, began his round at 3:45 in the afternoon, long after the last pair had started.
 Two strokes behind Hagen and Won Elm were Leo Diegel of Agua Calfente, Mexico; Olin Dutra. Los Anaeles; Tom Kerrigan of Mount Vernon, N. Y., and Al Watrous, Birmingham, Michigan.
 Harry Cooper has knocked on the door of golfing fame but never has 1t opened. He had his best year in 1927 when he finished in a tie with Tommy Armour for the U. s. open title. The playoff went to Armour by one stroke.
 The 1O5 players were to shoot IS more holes today. All those who are more than 20 strokes be- hind the leaders will be eliminated tonight and the survivors will com pIete over the 36-hole route to- morrow for the championship.
