WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Plans
Tor the evacuation of Shanghai in
the event of IAN extreme emerg-
ency' have been worked out by
representatives of the western
powers there, it was learned today
at the state department.
At the same time 1t was learned
that American Ambassador w.
Cameron Forbes at Toxic has
joined with Great Britain, France
and Italy, through their envoys. in
making representations to the
foreign office on two points:
l. That Japanese forces shall not
again be landed in the Interna-
tional settlement.
2. That Japanese warships in
Shanghai shall be withdrawn to
points where fire directed at them
will not menace lives and prop
critics of neutrals.
The evacuation plan was worked
out by the municipal council, rep
resenting the French concession.
which is separate from the other
neutral properties.
II an emergency arises a meeting
OF the foreign counsels will be
held to determine whether the
evacuation is necessarsy and de-
sirable.
The representations to Toxic
were suggested by Great Britain.
Several days ago the United States
authorized Forbes to participate in
them. Officials here explained that
the new representations were not
announced here yesterday because
it was not definitely known when
Forbes would make them.

JAPANESE PLANES
B0MBARD CHINESE
Mikado's Men Reported To Have Destroyed Air
drome And Number Of Ships In First Big Air Of
fensive Launched During Fighting AT Shanghai.

capacity. The fact that only three
Chinese planes were reported in ac-
ton indicated the attackers took
the enemy by surprise.
The Nipponese airmen circled
over the airdrome, with visibility
conditions in their favor, swooped
low, and cut loose their bomb car
goes.
The war birds then gained alti-
tude to escape possible anti-air-
craft fire and returned to their
base. The japanese command con-
sidered the raid highly successful.
It was not explained how the one
Nipponese plane was brought down.
The japanese announced later
that the three occupants of their
plane had been rescued from Hang
chow bay by a destroyer.
The Chinese Kuo-Min News A
gency said Chinese officials expect
ed the japanese to launch the
greatest military offensive since
the World war with half of the
Japanese National air force, ap-
proximately 200 airplanes, concen-
trated at Shanghai.
The agency said the Japanese
apparently intended to make a SUI
preme effort to dislodge the Chin
ese before the League of Nations
commission appointed to report on
the Manchurian situation reaches
Shanghai March 4.
The Chinese were ready to offer
their utmost resistance, and ex-
pected a new Japanese offensive
late tonight, Kuo-Min said.
While victory was claimed for the
japanese aerial forces, their infan-
try and artillery were having q
more difficult time beating back
the Chinese before Tazang. The
grim Japanese advance was re-
newed at IL a. m. after a smashing
, artillery barrage.
The japanese appeared to be
gaining few yards at a time, but
there were no decisive gains for
either side early in the day.
Chinese made frequent counter
attacks in the face of blistering
japanese fire. The troops of the
10th Chinese route army were well
entranced and had spent days pre-
pairing the sector against the newt
able japanese rush.

his fourth straight victory with
his sloop Angelita. Only seven

Creamery Sinks
Fat Boys Team

What Carlson, Tallamente and
the Smith Brothers mean to the
Maggie Fat Boys was demonstrated
last night when the Golden State
Creamery pounded out 26 to 7
victory in the absence of the trans
planted San Diego stars.
The denatured Fat Boys gave as
poor an exhibition of baseball as
has been seen on a local diamond
this year. The buttermakers turn
ed in 81 hits, including four home
runs. Many lay the prevalence OF
homers to the fact that root beer
stand across the street is setting
up root beers to the winning teams
and donates hamburgers for every
home run during the balance of
the season.
Lawless led both teams at bat
with two doubles, a triple and a
four dagger.
Fans not wishing to journey to
Yuma tonight for a contest be-
tween the Yuma team and the I'm
perial Valley All-Stars will have
chance to attend the regularly
scheduled game between the Valley
Steam Laundry and the Southern
California Telephone company.

Onitcu TIeSS SIa11 Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Although
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody's absence
will cost the United States Lawn
Tennis association a pocketful of
money, it's a fine thing she had
decided to stay in Paris instead Of
defending her national singles title
at Forest Hills next week-fine for
Miss Helen Jacobs sake.
With Mrs. Moody no closer than
the Champs Elysees, the Berkeley
Helen is pretty sure thing to win
the American championship. And
it's about time she did. Lawdy,
how tired she must be of running
up" to Mrs. Moody. Helen has
been finishing second to the worlds
champion for the last four or five
years, both here and abroad.
Mrs. Moody has cost Miss Jacobs
more titles than you could shake
a stick at. She trounced Helen in
the Wimbledon finals of 1929 and
1882, the American finals of 1928,
Seabright last year and a dozen
lesser events. No one begrudges
Mrs. Moody these victories. She's
the greatest player in the game,
standing just as far ahead of Miss
Jacobs as the Berkeley girl stands
in front of the remainder of the
American field.
Probably the only time Miss
Jacobs resented her rival trouncing
her was at Seabright last year.
Miss Jacobs, needing but one vic
tory to retire the handsome bowl,
was the first to enter the lists. Mrs.
Moody held back her entry blank
until play had actually started.
Many followers of the game soy
the great Californian entered at the
last moment only for the purpose
of preventing Miss Jacobs from
getting the trophy. Those who
saw the cup presentation ceremon-
les at the close of the tournament
with Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Moody
standing side by side and trying
to act like pals, will never forget it.
But that was probably the only
time Miss Jacobs took defeat at
the hands of Mrs. Moody without
good grace for during the four Oh
five years she has been competing
III the east no one ever heard her
offer an excuse for her failure tc
play the world champion more
EVENLY than she did.

WESTERN GRID STARS BEAT EAST
IN EXHIBITION FOOTBALL GAME

took the ball on downs within their
own 10-yard line and the fourth
time a tumble by Eugene Clarke,
Southern California. was re5ov-
cred on the 14-yard line by Captain
Ed Rotan of Yale.
Rotan and Henry Myerson. Har-
ward guard, were the eastern de-
fensive stars. Myerson once made
four tackles in a row, the first of
which stopped Shaver on the casts
18-yard line after a 28-yard dash
by Shaver and the next three of
which resulted in the vests loss
of the ball on downs.
Forward Pass Used
Tom Taylor of Yale, and Jack
Orchard of Harvard, made dam
gerous forward passing combina-
ton which accounted for three of
the eight first downs registered by
the easterners. Ed Mays, another
Harvard back, was the most con-
sistent ground-gainer for the east.
Shaver, Kirwan and Rudy Rim
Idld, ObdIllolO, diio NCOA SC "oc-
kins. California, did yeoman work
in advancing the ball for the west.
Bob Hall, u. S. c., was a standout
il the line.
Aside from entertaining 10000
people, many of them foreigners
here to visit because of the Tenth
Olympiad, the game tended to give
a workout to the new rules that
will be in effect next fall.
Most closely watched was the
"oead man" rule which holds a
runner down the second any part
Of his body except his feet touch
the ground. Experts generally
held that it tended to take thrill
out of football and twice long runs
were cut short because a runner
slipped or was tripped and forced
to go down on one knee. In each
instance they could have continued
for extra yardage except for the
ruling.
The game was billed as a DEM
onstration since football has no
place in the regular Olympic pro-
gram.

MINOR Lacquer
CALLED TO help
BROOKLYN TEAM

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. U.P) - The
strong right arm of Walter Beck,
outstanding pitcher in the minor
leagues, may furnish the added
power necessary to boost the Brook
lyn Dodgers to the top of the Ma
tional league.
just as the Dodgers gained un-
disputed possession of fourth place,
it was learned that Brooklyn Off
cials have virtually clinched the
deal to have Beck in a Brooklyn
uniform before next Sunday.
Young Beck has a record of 21
victories and three defeats with the
Memphis club of the Southern
association.
Another cause for rejoicing in
Brooklyn came last night when
First Baseman Bissonette an
nounced that his physicians pro-
nounced him completely recovered
from the foot injury which kept
him idle since spring training.
The idle Dodgers moved into
first division yesterday when the
Phillies dropped to fifth place be-
cause Of q double defeat at the
hands of the Cardinals, to 6 and
IS to 4, in the thinning nightcap.
The Cards replaced the idle New
York Giants in sixth position.
Jim Collins home run in the
eleventh inning of the nightcap
drove in Jimmy Bottomley ahead of
him and provided the Cards with
the winning runs.
These were the only games sched-
uled in the National league.
Cleveland dropped from second
to third place in the American
, league, losing to Washington,
z to 6. The Athletics replaced
Cleveland.
Monte Weaver was credited with
his eighteenth victory although the
Indians drove him from the mound
in the eighth. He was replaced
by Alvin CroWder
Boston at Detroit was rained out
No other games were scheduled.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6. The
west scored another of the victories
it so loves when a picked team
from Southern California, Califor-
MIA and Stanford defeated an
eastern team of former Harvard,
Yale and Princeton players, to g.,
before an Olympic games crowd of
10000 people last night.
The accurate toe of Ed Kirwan,
star back at California last year,
accounted for the winning margin.
After the west made touch
down to tie the score, he place
kicked a point for the victory.
Earlier the casts attempt to con-
vert went wide of the cross bars.
The casts score was made by
Burton Strange, Yale guard, who
dropped on a free ball across the
western goal line.
Two players from the west bob
bled the ball-a punt that landed
near the west goal line-before the
fast following Strange fell upon It,
While this score came as the
result of a break and Strange's
good work, the west made its
points after a 65-yard drive down
the field.
Gus Shaver, an all-American
quarterback at the University of
Southern California last year, led
the drive and finally took the ball
across from the one-inch line.
A 20-yard run by Shaver put the
ball on the five-yard line and he
needed four tries finally to break
through the heavy eastern line.
Earlier in the game that line
held the westerners four times when
they had advanced into easy scor-
ing distance. Three times they

Pacific Coast
League Scores
BY United Press

Showing some of the form that
made them early season faVorites,
the Los Angeles Angels went into
their series against Oakland today,
determined to become real contend
ers in the battle for league leader
ship.
Hollywood and Portland have
maintained prolonged contest for
first and second places in the PEN
nant race, but both slumped con-
siderably last week. Portland, in
first place, lost six of seven games
to the Angels. who advanced to
within one-half game Of second
place.
The Stars dropped five of seven
games to Sacramento to lower their
standing.
The Angels are now four and
one-half games behind Portland.
They take on Oakland with every
prospect of advancing further up
the percentage column, since the
Oaks are but a few games above
the San Francisco Missions, cellar
champions.
Portland engages the San Fran
cisco Seals, while Hollywood meets
Seattle in Los Angeles. The show
ing made by the Indians last week
against the Missions was enough to
increase the possibility that Holly
wood will be still further down the
list at the end of the current series.
The Beavers, judging by the spot
ty showing made by the Seals re-
Gently, may have an opportunity to
gain a firmer hold on first place.
The Missions travel to Sacramen-
to to complete the schedule.

CHEMICALS OUT

Allentown, Pa-(UP)-"B tanks" containing only water re- placed chemical tanks on all Allen town fire apparatus in move meeting wide approval.
 Chemicals had been used here in fighting fires for many years. While effective, they caused considerable damage to clothing. household ef- fects, and other materials. accord ing to complaints filed by those visited by fire and those who fought fires.
 Edgar Wolf. the fire chief, an- nounced replacements of chemical equopment with the booster sys- toms would be on the apparatus of seven companies.
 There were several considera- tions for making the change. Econ- omy was the most important of these" Wolf said.
 We've had to maintain large quantities of chemicals to refill the tanks constantly. This no longer Will be necessary. The fire losses to property will be smaller, for chemicals destroyed everything they came in contact with.
 Modern fire-fghting has de- parted from the old idea that chemicals are best for smaA fires. In my experience have found that the chemical is too soon exhausted at fire and We have to bring in large hose line to bring the flames under control"
