American aviation treaty which it
said was recently negotiated in
Washington by DR.. s. Alfred SEE, Chi
nese minister to Washington, and the
American state department.
If the pact is made effective, Asahi
said. ut will gravely menace Japan's
national defense, wherefore the re-
ports are claiming the serious atten-
ton Of the Imperial army"
A foreign office spokesman said his
bureau had no knowledge of such a
treaty.
The treaty, the newspaper reported,
would give a combination of the
United States government and Amer
lean aircraft manufacturers monop-
olistic and far-reaching supervision

list of others to face.
In this respect the Far West
has been well back of several
other sections. With all the golf
played along the West Coast, no
amateur champion has appeared
from the Pacific's rim.
The West Coast has had such fine
golfers as Doc Willing, Don Moe,
Charlie Seaver and Frank Dolp, but
no title holder. George Won Elm spent
much of his time in Los Angeles, but
he started from Utah and also spent
no small part of his time in Detroit
when he was an amateur star.
This same turn also has applied to
professional golf. Sarazen, Hagen and
most of the leaders come from the
East or Middle West.

California golf and Olin had his P. G..

NEW YORK, August 18.-The af-

of many and complicated disputes
among the owners of the franchise
since the death of Charles H. Ebbets,
in 1925. again have been brought into

various affairs of the club, notably its
purchases of minor league properties.
The petitioners, Charles H. Ebbets,

stated the club has lost 100000 in the
operation of minor league clubs, a
policy which was opposed by Mr. Eb-
bets when he lived. They also said the
value of the estate has declined from
s1,066814 in 1880 to $3.50, ,468 at pres
ent. And they asked the details of
100000 loan made to the club by the

Plays 1,308th Game in Row

Ninth Straight.

about the only bright spot they
have seen on their current West
ern trip, Washington Senators
were equaling a record of sorts
and at the same time learning
that Monte Weaver can be of
great assistance to them in their
pennant drive.
Weaver, who was rendered inactive
during the large part of the season by a
sore arm let the Chicago White Sox
down with four hits to win his third
straight victory since he got back into
service by a AL score 1t was the
ninth in row for the Senators. equal
ing the seasons long run mark, made
by the Yankees.
The fact that Gehrig became the Off
cial major league iron man" by sur
passing the record set by Everett Scott,
former Yankee shortstop, before Lou
broke into the big league and Babe
Ruth's celebration of the end of his
two-day vacation by busting his twenty
seventh homer of the season still
couldn't save the Yankees from a 7-6,
10-inning defeat by the ST. Louis
Browns. Lefty Gomez failed to hold
the Browns Rogers Hornsby belted a
pinch homer to tie the score in the
ninth and Jim Levey doubled in the
tenth to send Oscar Melillo home with
the winning run. The loss put the
Yanks seven and one-half games behind
Washington.
Gehrig received a silver cup from
William Harridge, American League
President. as he carried his unbroken
string Of games which started when he
went in as pinch hitter on June !,
1925. to its record length.
The Senators, riding high along the
road toward the pennant, walloped an
old nemesis, Walter Miller, and three
successors for 16 hits behind Weaver's

The Western Challenge.


IN sporting festivities now at hand
and in those to come, the challenge
of the Far West is something for
the massed millions of the Midwest,
East and South to reckon with.
The first shock came when the hard
riding and hard-hitting Cecil Smith of
Texas played the leading role in beating
back Tommy Hitchcock's crack Eastern
four in Chicago last Sunday.
The women's national tennis cham
pionship is on at Forest Hills. The de-
Tending champion is Helen Jacobs-of
California The probable winner is Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody-of California.
A short while later on the mems
tennis championship breaks out
and among the leaders you will
find Ellsworth Vines and Lester
Stoeffen-alsO of California.
They have something to beat in Perry
of England, Crawford of Australia and
Sidney Wood of New York-but at least
California will be in the middle of the
scrap.
IEXT WEEK Howard Jones is
N bringing his all-star Far Western
foot ball collection to Chicago to
meet Dick Hanley's Eastern n-Midwestern
squad in another intersectional scrim-
mage that will attract its share of
interest.
Jones has Smith and Brown, his two
famous Trojan tackles, on hand, and
that alone means foot ball team.
At the same time it might be
whispered that U. S. c. and Stdn-
ford are labelled for tho of the
great teams OF the year 1chen the
national Autumn rash breaks out
q fen 1oeeks later.
Some one also might interject that
Max Baer of California is the only
heavyweight defender now left in this
broad land to meet the foreign threat.
In golf, Scotty Campbell. Frank Dolp,
Charlie Seaver and Chandler Egan are
among those who expect to make con-
siderable headway at Cincinnati in the
Forthcoming United States amateur. To
say nothing of Gus Moreland from
Texas.
There are those who might in
clude Johnny Goodman in this
list. Except for the fact that
along in the Sierra country they
figure Omaha Is back East or
thereabouts.
These next few weeks are going to
be replete with interSect1Onal rivalry
of every known type-where the East,
the South and the Midwest have their
share of trouble cut out before they
can roll back this Far Western tidal
wave.
The Intersectional Debate.
VYIHAT have the East, the Midwest
w and the South to offer against
this Far Western challenge,
from Texas up through Oregon and
Washington?
Dick Hanley expects to have foot
ball squad strong enough to give the
Jones delegation an even fight.
There is nothing in the East to
stop Helen Wills Moody, but Wood
or Shields might get further than
short jump at Forest Hills.
In the women's golf championship

~ HICAGO, August 18.- Clark
Grifith will run into st. Louis
Y and an argument tomorrow.
The Washington club president,
moving to the next stop Of the tour
with the Nationals, will encounter an
irate lot of officials of the Browns de-
manding that he come across on the
Sam Gray deal he side-tracked yester-
day shortly after it was supposed to
have been closed.
Hardly had Griffith announced he
had bought the veteran right-hander
for use as a relief hurler with the Ma
tionals than he learned Gray was suf-
fering with sore arm. During the
dickering with the Browns officials the
pitchers defect had not been revealed,
Griffith declared, so he promptly in
formed the st. Louis club the deal was
off.
1t is off only 50 far as Griffith
is concerned, it seems. For L. C.
McEvoy, the Browns vice presi-
dent and son-in-law of Phil de
Catesby Ball, president Of the
club, when Informed of Crit
fith's cancellation, sent the WASH
ington chieftain a hot wire in
sisting the deal had been neg0-
tiated in good faith and that
Griffith would have to 90 through
with it.
Griffith will argue it out with Nc
Evoy and the rest of the st. Louis
crowd tomorrow. In the meantime,
the Washington prexy insists he acted
within his rights in canceling the pur-
chase and that he feels certain he would
be backed by Judge Lands, should the
case get up to the base ball commits
sioner.
IT was directly from Gray that word
of the pitchers arm ailment came.
After the deal had been effected by
wire and the hurler ordered to report
here today, Manager Cronin got Gray
On the telephone. The pitcher ex-
pressed himself as being highly graft
fed over the transfer. but added that
he would not be available for service
for some time as his arm had troubled
him a great deal recently. Cronin

Miller, who had defeated them three
times in four previous starts. Twice he
had blanked them, once limiting them

Nationals had Miller off the hill de-
feated pitcher before the first inning
ended. He was charged with all five
runs made by the Cronin crew in the
opening round.
After that the Nationals went
on to increase their hit-total to

Chad Kimsey, the rookie Harold
Haid and that venerable spit
baller, Red Faber.
Monte Weaver made fine job of his
flinging for the Nationals. Turning in
his third successive victory since COM

the professor yielded just four singles
and three walks. The ChisoX averted
