BOYCOTT PRESSURE
Probability of U. S. Role in
World Action Seen as
.ParIey Nears.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

While the situation in Shanghai con-
tinues to cause misgivings, those who
are responsible for the conduct of our
international relations are considerably
concerned about what is going to be
decided at Geneva when So nations
meet next Wednesday to decide on the
vital question of whether or not po-
litical and economic boycott should be
applied to Japan.
Much regarding our friendly rela-
tions depends on the Leagues decision,
because the opinion of the best in
formed men in the State Department IS
that, regardless of how the administra-
ton or Congress feels about the mad
visibility of joining in boycott, this
country is likely to be compelled to
Join the other nations in that stern
measure against Japan.
The reason for this belief is that
there is growing public feeling through
out this country to prevent war by
pacific means" and boycott is con-
sidered by the uninitiated as pacific
coercion According to reports re-
ceived during the last 48 hours from
Europe, the situation across the At
lantic seems to be as follows: An over
whelming majority of the small nations,
now gathered at Geneva, want the
League of Nations to enforce boycott
on Japan.
These nations believe the League is
V1d i1nIncc O hnU-
colt Is ordered against Japan, the whole
value of the League as an organization
to protect the weaker nations against an
aggression by a larger power, ceases to
exist.
Two Fight Boycott.
The large nations, especially Great
Britain and France are opposed to a
boycott for three seasons; first, it would
involve a serious expenditure to put
at the disposal Of the League their naval
force to enforce the boycott; second, it
would mean a considerable loss to be
forced to suspend all commercial inter-
course with good customer like Japan,
and third, they are uncertain as to the
attitude of the United States.
The Government of this country can
not pledge itself beforehand to join the
other powers in boycott, because such
measure needs the consent of our
Congress, consent which cannot be
obtained until the boycott has actually
been ordered by the League and an Of
fetal invitation is issued to the United
States to join in the coercial measure
against Japan.
Great Britain is reported to be def
nitely opposed to the boycott and is at
present using all the power and pres
tige it has with smaller nations to avoid
such a measure being taken against
Japan. Britain's economic interests in
Japan are large. She would be called
upon to play the leading role in the
actual enforcement of the boycott be-
cause she has the largest navy in the
world. Furthermore, while a good Sec
ton of British public opinion is SYM
pathetic to the Chinese because of their
valiant resistance at Shanghai, politi-
clans and industrialists in England feel
that boycott would mean eventually
the loss of good and faithful friend
in the Far East. Other means can be
found, British diplomats say, to settle

Alex MOrrisOn's Accurate Golf
Morrison, famous golf technician,
was the first to make a business of
trick golf shots, and during his
varied exhibitions, has hit a golf
ball off a girls knee, foot, wrist
and head. Also, off the neck of
bottle, off a mirror and similar
objects, where extreme accuracy is
needed in the swing. Morrison
probably has the most perfectly
arched, accurate swing in golf.
In all his performances, it is
strange that he should have used
some ones head for a tee more
frequently than anything else,
where a divot would be most dis
astrous, but he has made 6,188
such shots without a miss. Prac-
tically all his exhibitions have
been in theaters or on golf courses
before public galleries.

PROFIT-TAKING
SENDS WHEAT
PRICES DOWN
Little Support in Evidence
in Light Early Trade;
Corn Dips.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
limited Press star Correspondent

CHICAGO, July taking
and selling on the failure of Liver
pool to fully respond to the advance
here Wednesday dropped wheat
fractionally as the Board of Trade
opened today.
Trading was light at the start
with only moderate selling and very
little support. Corn eased slightly
with wheat in a slow trade. Oats
and rye were very dull with scarcely
trade at the opening.
Opening Is Lower
At the opening wheat was 4 to x
cent lower, corn was unchanged to
Il cent lower, oats 4 cent lower and
rye unchanged. Provisions were
about steady to firm, the latter on
meats.
Starting firm, Liverpool was Y to
q cent higher at midafternoon. A
better feeling exists among wheat
traders than at any time recently.
Buying by eastern interests indi-
Gates a broadening of interest and
a belief in better prices.
The chief factor is the wet wealth
er in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
The weather overnight was unset
tied with hail and heavy rains in
Iowa and northern Illinois and In
diana.
Cash Corn in Demand
RaDOrtS Of cash sales of 140 000
bushels of corn. including 10000
bushels to Canadian starch plant,
with charterings for 345, 900 bushels
more to go to Buffalo created a
more friendly feeling toward the
market The light country offerings
also acts as a strengthening factor.
Many acres in Iowa were washed
out by the rain Wednesday night.
Oats are being neglected at times.
The sentiment favors buying on the
breaks.

Pacific Coast
League Scores

-Four star hurlers, Curt Davis,
Bill Henderson, Jimmy zinn and
young Lee Stine, the clippers for
the San Francisco Seals" were
ready to demonstrate their wares
to the Hollywood Stars today and
perhaps to send their team into
what has been a three-cornered
battle for the league leadership.
The Seals drubbed Portland last
week, winning five games out of
seven, and are now but three and
one-half games behind the first
place Ducks. They are two and
one-half games behind the second
place Stars, and one game behind
the third place Los Angeles Angels.
Los Angeles, which opened drive
on the Stars and Beavers in the
pennant race couple of weeks ago,
faced the cellar champion Missions
at San Francisco, while Portland
took on Seattle at Portland. Pros
poets for victories were good for
both teams in their respective
series, with the Seals and Stars
probably battling for third place
before the week ends.
Spencer Abbott, manager of the
Beavers, predicted his team would
recover from its slump this week.
He expected the return of Johnny
Monroe to add punch to the APP
parently weakening Portlanders.
Oakland travels to Sacramento
for a series there.

BROOKLYN TAKES
FIRST GAME OF
WESTERN TRIP

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. U.P)-
Brooklyns Robins, after opening
their final western trip of the sea-
son with an IL to 6 victory over
Pittsburgh, hoped to climb another
notch today in their drive for the
National League leadership.
The victory yesterday advanced
the Robins to within half a game
of the second place Pirates and
left them only one and one-half
contests behind the pace setting
Chicago Cubs. Another triumph
over Pittsburgh today would enable
the Robins to advance to the run
nerup position.
Danny Taylor fleet outfielder
whose brilliant work has been a
big factor in Brooklyn's climb from
seventh place, sent the Robins off
to a flying start on western soil
when he belted one of Heinie
Meine's first pitches for a triple.
1t was the signal for a nine-run
assault and before the first inning
was over l3 Robins had been to
bat and nine had crossed the plate.
The Robins finished Harris in
the second inning when even old
Joe Shaute caught the spirit of the
thing and drove in two runs with
single. That ended Brooklyn's
scoring for. the day, but it was
more than enough and enabled
Shaute to win under wraps. He
allowed II hits.
Brooklyn blasted out II hits, four
of them by Taylor. Lefty O'Doul,
the major leagues leading batsman,
boosted his average with two hits
in five times at bat.
