A. j. COACH SAYS
FIVE At BEST IN
EARLY CAME
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

In the opinion of Walter H.
Young, erican University
basketball coach, his team played
its greatest game not in the vic
tory over Navy at Annapolis, as
many would believe, but in an
early season contest with Ran
dolph-Macon College at Ashland,
Va.
Young, whose team dropped
only two contests in the past cam
paign. made this statement at the
seventh annual athletic banquet
at the school last night. He de-
clared:
"Tt was in the Randolph
Macon College game that l first
came to realize we had a really
great team, one that would play
lot of basketball. Our team in
that game played, from the
standpoint of technique, one of
the finest exhibitions I've seen
anywhere.
Other Speakers
"The game wherein my boys
showed the greatest courage
was our victory by a point or
two over Penn Military College
at Chester, Pa. This was tight
contest with the lead tagging
back and forth and, with less
than three minutes to go, our
regular guards, Olsen and Wash
burn, were put out of the game
on fouls.
"I was forced to insert two
reserve players, KeSler and Will
liams, who had little college
basketball experience but both
came through in fine style.
"IlI say that the American
U. team last wear would have
given any college Fl in the
country a close run. Further
more, their spirit and willing
ness to play for the team and
not themselves was a great
comfort to me-"
DR.. George B. Woods, dean of
the college of liberal arts, men
toned that group consciousness
in sports had finally struck the
student body and this betokened
a new and greater era for sports
in the school,

Scanning the News

So you see why lovers Of the
thoroughbred will be scanning
the news from Havre de Grace
and Jamaica late today, as
they scan it only on Preakness
and Derby days. The class of
the entries in these two out
standing turf affairs of the
spring go in separate races and
the outcome thereof will show
distinctly which way the wind
blows week and two weeks
hence in Louisville and Balti-
more respectively.
Those of a romantic turn of
mind will be particularly in
tereSted in the possibilities of
Sonny" Whitney's Top Flight,
the only filly entered at PIN
lico and Churchill Downs. In
the entire history of the Derby,
for instance, but one filly, Re
gret, has ever led the field
home.
1t is coincidental that Regret
was owned by the late Harry
Payne Whitney, whereas Top
Flight is the property of the
son Of the owner of Regret.
1t will be more so should Top
Flight come through in Louis
vile a week from today.

At Havre de Grace the prin-

and Boatswain, Mrs. Walter M.

Should one of those six horses

its stock will go upward in the

GR|FFS FACE
AS TODAY
|NF|NAL
By GARRETT WATERS

Dy OAhnL L "A1 LN0
Memories of a year ago will be
revived tomorrow when the New
York Yankees show here against
the Griffs for the first time this
season.
Quite an unusual game tram
Spired between the two teams, it
will be remembered, in that about
everything that could happen in
baseball game happened, and
how.
Practically all of the breaks
went against the YankS. First off
they lost by a count Of G to S.
Next, Dusty Cook, right-fielder,
sustained a broken collar bone,
which kept him out of action for
the remainder of the season; Lou
Gehrig hit a home run which did
not count because he crossed the
plate in front of Lyn Larry; Ossie
Bluege got a homer on a short
texas Lacquer to right; three or
four pitchers worker for both
teams, and Roy Spencer ran up
to first base and took an easy
foul fly from Joe Judge, dropping
the ball finally-to mention only
a few of the odd happenings.
Brown to Pitch
Manager Johnson is hoping that
no such nightmare takes place
tomorrow, nor any of the other
days during the Yankees stay.
Despite the fact that his team
won in this particular instance
last year, there's too much worry
connected with a game of the
same sort, and besides, the Griffs
might be the team to get the
worst end of the breaks. But,
after all, will there ever be an
other contest played like it?
Lefty Lloyd Brown was to make
his official debut as starter to-
morrow, according to Manager
Johnson. In all probability it
will be a left-handed pitching
same, as Vernon Gomez is slated
to be the Yank hurled.
The Yanks will appear here
Monday and Tuesday as we'll as
tomorrow before closing this par
ticular series. BY the time the
week is out the Griffs will have
faced their first Western foe-the
Chicago White SoX - who are
scheduled to open a four-game
series next Friday.
Two off days are on the rec.
ords for next week, incidentally.
They fall on Wednesday and
Thursday. This means that the
only action the Griffs will see
between the ending of the Yankee
series and the beginning of the
White Sox set will be of the
batting practice sort, as Manager
johnson already has it planned
to hold sessions on these days.
Face AS Today
The Griffs engage the AS in
the final contest Of the current
series today. General Alvin Crow.
der, who beat Connie Mack'S men
five straight times during the
latter part of last year, was to
get the mound assignment for
the Griffs. while Lefty Grove was
the logical Philadelphia choice.
CroWder has an even record
so far this season in the matter
of triumphs and losses. He's
beaten the Red Sox once and
the AS once, the latter while
acting as relief finger. The
Red Sox and AS have both
beaten him once to make his
record read two victories against

CANADA j. s.
NETMEN IN
FINALE
BY GINO SINH

Only Australia, tough old
Davis Cup contender, playing in
the American Zone this year,
endangers the United States
chances of meeting the European
Zone finalist, now that Uncle
Sans crack racqueteers have
eliminated Canada by winning
the first three matches in the
series which ends today at Chevy
Chase Country Club.
Australia has always reveled
in being a tennis dark horse"
utterly out of joint with the
experts.
What makes it harder to dope
currently is the fact that the
AnzacS decided to forego last
years Davis Cup series and de-
vote time to developing and i'm
proving their talent at home. Just
what surprise is in store for the
hard -toling young fellows of Miss
Columbia remains to be seen.
Shields VS.. Wright
Today'S two singles matches
the results of which will have no
bearing on the series, finds Frank
x. Shields, No. l player on the
United States Davis Cup team
last year, who lost out to Wilmer
Allison during the present series,
meeting DR.. Jack Wright, Svelte
Canadian imitation of Paul White
man, who can WELD his racquet
with as much deXterity and time
illness as our Paul.
The second singles clash is sup
posed to bring Wilmer Allison.
whose sparkling tennis was the
chief factor in crushing the Cana,
dian doubles yesterday, against
Marcel Rainville, the tiny stick of
Canuck dynamite.
Future Hopes
However, Captain Meldrum, of
the Canadian team, may decide to
give his two alternates, Gilbert
Nunns or Walter Martin, Canada's
future international hopes, a
chance to get important expert
ence. Nunns, a rangy. hard-hit-
ting netman, rated on par with
RainVille, may be the likely
choice.
Canada's plucky doubles. Wright
and RainVille, covered themselves
with glory yesterday, as they
went down fighting courageously
against overwhelming odds. It
was a hopeless battle after the
fifth game of the first set, when
the two Americans, Allison and
John Van Ryn, started clicking
in grand style. They won, GO,
6-1, 60.
Allison Shines
Wilmer Allison, blond Texas
flash, dominated the play. He
was playing superlative brand
of tennis, the tennis which had
placed such names as Henri
Cochet in 1880, and Ellsworth
Vines, during the present season,
among his list of victims.
All that Van Ryn had to do
was keep the ball in play until
Allison got in one Of his terrific
overhead smashes or burning
drives into the doubles alley.
The CanuckS never gave up
hope. however, breaking through
to win the second and fifth game
of the third and deciding set. and
deuceing the sixth. The Ameri-
cans ended the match with last
brilliant burst of speed and clever.

WAR over PAY PACT
$500 Stage United UpriS-
ing Against Wage Scale.

By United Press
TAYLORVILLE, Ill, July ID. -
Bolstered by victory over Christian
county police officers, who allowed
them to pass through this city after
an initial refusal, 1900 Illinois
miners returned to their homes to-
day to fight proposed wage re-
duction.
The caravan was returning from
a demonstration at Springfield
against mine union officials. who
submitted the wage proposal.
Threatened violence, aroused by
refusal of county police to allow
miners to drive through the city on
their way to Springfield, was avert
ed when the miners caravan was
met by a deputation of sheriff's
officers and 1000 spectators.
On the promise of the men they
didn't mean trouble, the automo-
biles we're allowed to drive through
town.
The Springfield demonstration
broke up after a fiery meeting at
which district officers of the United
Mine Workers Of America were de-
nounced for submitting a proposal
reducing the basic wage scale from
$610 to SIS a day. The new scale
would reopen mines closed since
March.

The declarer allowed it to hold

South now has perfect count on

a three-card suit and, therefore,

The declarer further reasons that

The declarer can count only eight

three hearts-and he must make

A small spade was played by de-

Now If East cashes his ace and
king of spades, the declarer will
have no trouble in going game.
East has two ace-queen combina-

Another spade was returned, East

His best play is to lead another

hearts, but must grant West one
heart and a club, and these two
tricks hold the declarer to two no

HAMILTON PUT
ON STAND TO
PRESENT ALIBI
Accused Slayer of Jackson
TeStifies He Was in
lola, Kan.
~ Science serrice

~ Science Serrice
LEBANON, Ind, July 14.-Louis
:. Hamilton, 26, testifying today in
Boone circuit court here, where he
is on trial charged with the murder
of Lafayette A. Jackson, Indian
apolis chain grocery operator, de-
clared he was in lola, Kan, his
home town, on May 81, 1881, the
day Jackson was shot fatally at MS
main store.
Making the accused a witness was
a surprise move by the defense, but
his testimony was confined princi-
pally to that of those who preceded
him on the stand-an effort to
prove an alibi.
Hamilton said he lacked but three
credits of high school graduation
when he was sentenced in Kansas
for assault and battery with intent
to kill, and he served five months
of an eighteen months term. In
1926 he was given a term of five
to fifteen years for stealing an
automobile. He served four years
and was paroled from the Kansas
state prison at Lansing.
Met Witt in Prison
While in prison he met Charles
Vernon Witt, who is awaiting eXecu-
ton in the jackson Staying.
Hamilton left the stand to 60
before the jury box to exhibit a
scar on his forehead. The state
contends it resulted from bullet
wound inflicted during gun bat
tie in the Jackson store. The de-
Tense asserts it resulted from an
injury received in an automobile
accident while Hamilton, Witt and
his wife were en- route to lola from
indianapolis.
The defendants wife, Mrs. lone
Hamilton, and Miss Ardia Mateny,
lola telephone operator, were other
witnesses today.
Tells of Phone Call
The wife said Hamilton tele-
phoned her in lola the night OF
May q. Miss Mateny identified a
slip recording a telephone call on
that date, but said she did not
know who talked.
1t is probable that the defense
will rest early this afternoon. Then
the state will offer rebuttal evil
dence.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson has
called Miss Sue Sawyer, lola invalid
and neighbor of the Hamilton 'aln-
lily, as the states chief rebuttal wit
ness.
Four relatives of the accused
supported his alibi Wednesday.
The jury used palm fans and
newspapers to keep cool during the
sweltering court session.
Mrs. Margaret Krupp, sister of
the defendant; his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Hamilton, and sister-in-
law, Mrs. Fern Hamilton occupied
the stand most of the day.
The witnesses described a birth
day dinner, given in honor Of Max
Hamilton, the defendants brother
on the day bandits held up the
Jackson store.
