 London, July IT 7-(UP) - In preparation for Saturdays Davis Cup. interzone finals to determine a challenger of Great Britain. R. Norris Williams of the Philadel- phia R. Norris williamses. had an unenviable decision to make.
 The American captain had to name the doubles team for our side. It was his job to choose be- tween Lester Stoefen and Winner Allison as a partner for George Lott. He chose Stoefen.
 Original plans called for Stoefen to play doubles, but the Califor- nian was so unhappy in the Queens club tournament. which saw him and Lott eliminated in straight sets by Ian Collins and Fred Wilde, and in the earlier rounds at Wimbledon, that Will Hams cabled for Allison. who im- mediately put to sea.
 The hurry call for Allison acted like . shot in the arm to Stoefen. Overnight he changed from a dou- bles player s0 poor that Lott often chased him off the court entirely when crucial points arose, to a knowing, devastating performer. Against that tried and crafty pair, Borotra and Brugnon, in the Wim- bledon final. Stoefen's play was ter- rife. The Frenchmen were lucky to get more than one point in the games Stoefen served. He put away 99 per cent of his smashes, and off the ground was continually rassing his opponents with amaz- ingly fast and accurate drives.
 All of which presented MT Will Hams with four-square problem and left him sitting snugly between the horns of that most annoying animal, the dilemma.
 He could not very well ignore Stoefen after the Californian part. nered Lott in winning the papa of all doubles titles, Wimbledon. Ii left off the cup team Stoefen cer- tainly would be justified in asking place. After all, you don't win at Wimbledon on luck alone
 At the same time Alison. left marked on the bench, can't be blamed for up and asking why he was taken for such q sweet little boat ride.
 And if the team MT Williams chose happens to lose--well. the second guessers will be all over like the fever. This isn't likely to happen. however, Lott. who is de- cidedly on his game right now, is so much doubles player, that he could take King Gustav of Sweden as partner and carry any pair in the world to five sets. The Chicago an seems to possess the very happy adjunct of being able to 1t in with any partner, and make that part- 1aer, great And this faculty, seem to remember reading somewhere is the hallmark of doubles class.

Lott and StOefen
 US. Doubles Team

London, July 17-(UP)-Lester Stoefen, tall Californian, and the worlds premier doubles player George Lott of Chicago, will carry the tandem burden for the Amer ican forces in the inter-zone Davis Cup matches with Australia which opens Saturday.
 This was decided by R. Norris Williams, non-playing captain of the team. on a basis of the show ing of Lott and Stoefep at Wimble- dona when they won the worlds doubles title in addition to the American doubles title they now hold.

STRATEGY TO PROLONG
 BASEBALL GAME FAILED

St Louis, Mo (UP)-In Ma tional League game here between the St Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, Jimmy Will son, manager of the Phils and formerly ace catcher for the Cards, used everything in the book to prolong the game in the hope of having it rained out by an ap- preaching storm while his team was leading, 5-4.
 A parade of five pitchers in one inning was Wilson's strategy, but it didn't work. He sent in one pitcher to every batter, but a dou- ble and two singles, counted for three runs. giving the Cards the deciding edge.
 Periodically, the winning run came from the bat of Chick Fullis, a pinch-hitting outfielder just ac- quired by the Cards from the Phils. The game ended at the end of the eighth, 7-5, Cards.

BOSTON FANS FAITHFUL TO
 BILL M'KECHNIE|
BleacEers and Grandstand Alike Give Him Credit
 as Manager

Boston (UP)-YOu can't tell Boston fans that Bill McKechnie of the Braves isn't the best man. ager in the National League.
 They give him most of the credit for keeping the club in or near the first division all season.
 Analysis of what the Braves have, and what they haven't tends to support the fan sentiment.
 On the positive side, the Braves have a peerless mid-diamond com- bination in Bill Urbanski at short stop and Pinkey Whitney at sec- ond base.
 Star CenterfieIder
 They have one of the leagues best thumpers and ball hawks in Wally Berger, big centerfielder.
 With Fred Farmhouse, Ben Cantwell, and Southpaw Ed Brandt as kingpins, the team has one of the leagues best pitching staffs- on paper. But Farmhouse alone has been in full stride. Cantwell, with some 20 victories to his credit a year ago, has been nursing a sore muscle in his throwing arm. Brandt had strainsd back part of the season and is only beginning to approach his best form.
 Yet, McKechnie has kept the Braves up there, and he became so garrulous the other day as to remark that if the pitching came along the club would be bona fide pennant threat.
 His Magic Touch
 Then, with the magic touch the fans attribute to him, Bill went out to improve the mound corps.
 He picked up Flint Rhem, some- time bad boy, at the waiver price, whispered fatherly things in Flint's ear, and Rhem went out and won his first two starts.
 The Albany minor league club sent Bobby Brown, rookie hero of 1882 and bust of 1883, back to the Braves as a hopeless wild man. A few days later McKechnie started Bobby for the Praves, and Brown shut out the Phillies,-3 to 0, giving them a measly five hits.

UTAH GRID COACHES
 DISLIKE NEW RULES

Provo, Utah (UP)-Utah foot ball coaches are upset about the new forward pass rule.
 The State High School Athletic association, made up exclusively of non-footballers, recently ap- proved the rule that allows a pass to be made from any point behind the line of scrimmage.
 The coaches don't like it. They believe the old rule that required the passer to be five yards back of the line of scrimmage would be more beneficial to high school players.
 So the coaches are going to hold a meeting of their own to see what can be done about it.

capital cities throughout Europe.
In spite of the bands nativity

offerings either to the old or
modern Italian school. Not only

and grows at bare sustenance level of wages
and prices, and which spreads in time to in
feet the whole of business and society, it is
conceivable that we could proceed in time
from an economy Of denied plenty, with heap
ing SURPRISES next door to bitter hunger. to
an economy Of potential abundance developed
to the uttermost and ungrudgingly shared.
1T is mean and niggardly in land so wide
and rich as this one and many others, to stem
the currents Of production, and to defect the
things all men desire into channels so limited,
for a privileged few. 1t is bad management.
Perhaps We can evolve in this country an
economy that deals in potentialities instead
of in denial Perhaps in time we shall be able
safely to unleash the productive capacities Of
all our industries, including agriculture, and
turn out for the widest distribution imaginable
the kind of goods which Americans. and peo-
pie throughout the world in general, SO aching
ly desire.
Il do not find that men, in general, whether
YOU talk and work with them out in the coun-
try or in great cities, are naturally mean
They want to amount to something on the
face of this earth, naturally; but this impulse,
unless distorted, does not naturally express
itself in piing up excessive stocks Of goods
and money.
That an enforced rneanness has through
out modern society become real menace, no
one can deny The breadlines testify to this
reality; million forced sales of farms in this
country tell another part of the wretched
story; and then you have only begun to take
count of all the millions the world over who
live in constant and degrading fear that the
same thing may happen to them tomorrow.
Unless, not with words, but in better wages
and prices, we can remove that fear from the
minds and hearts of those great masses Of
people who farm or work for wages, our new
deal will be a thing of words alone We must
implant security, and full confidence in con-
tinued security, throughout the base of our
new structure, if we want it to stand up better
than the one that fell down on us after 1929"

APPEALS FOR GIRL
ATOP MONUMENT
BY An Gid Citizen

BY An Gid Citizen
I have read with great interest
the letters in your Message Corner
for several months in regard to the
troubles Of the poor since 1929. It's
sad and true that the depression
has taken the joy out of life.
No more can we ride around in
a Ford, smoke cigarets, and feel like
a millionaire on a pint of bootleg
corn made in the barn.
Maybe prohibition meant pros
perity for many 1t seems so, as
1884 whisky is very weak! To give
a helping hand to little girl, one
who has lived in Indianapolis all her
life and faced the ice, the wind,
the snow in winter, and the hot
summer heat for many years with
only one dress, it seems like it would
be only fair to raise a collection for
a new Easter set of clothes to make
the lady on the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument happy.
She is there on the job and do
ing her part without expense to
any one. She never asks for new
fur coat or a pair Of shoes!
Gentlemen, give the girl big
hand and donate to make her
Easter happy.

GOVERNMENT COAL MINES

TWO earnest demands for government OPP
Il Grafton of coal mines have been made in
the last week.
One came from W. Jet Lauck, president
of the bureau of applied economics. In an
address at a conference on Americas public
ownership program, MIR. Lauck said that true
conservation of natural resources is possible
only with government ownership, that such
policy is essential to proper coordination of
all our power and fuel industries, and that
distribution costs can not be reduced to proper
levels until competition is abolished.
Even more sweeping are recommendations
made by Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director of
the Russell Sage Foundations department of
industrial studies.
The Russell Sage Foundation is no radical
agency. a fact which lends weight to the re-
port it has just made public.
Scientific management must be given free
dom to operate over the coal industry as a
whole, but scientific management is possible in
one industry only as part of a total planned
economy, and this is impossible for capital
ISM" says Miss Van Kleeck.
1T requires social ownership and admin
istration as the logical and inevitable next
step in the evolution of the economic system"
Coal operators, steel manufacturers who OPP
crate captive coal mines, and fnanciers who
control both, should ponder these utterances.
For months they resisted the minimum Of
regulation imposed by NRA codes. Given an
opportunity under these codes to work to-
gether to solve the deep-seated problems Of
the coal industry they have made little prog
reSS toward this end.
Yet it is obvious that unless progress is
made somehow demands like the two just
quoted will increase in number and in fervor.
There are too many coal mines What can
be done about it? How can coal be furnished
to consumers at prices they can afford to pay
and at prices which will offer some induce
ent against oil, gas electricity and other fuels?
How can coal workers be given jobs and living
wages?
The answers must be found or the chorus
for government ownership may drown out
everything the coal men and the steel men
have to say on the subject.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
KEEPING CONGRESS CLEAN

CENATOR BORAH is renewing the efforts
~ which he has been making for the last
eleven years to get through congress law
which would prohibit any member of con-
gress from accepting employment as an at
torney for any one engaged either In ntiga-
ton against the government or in interstate
commerce to which the regulative powers Of
congress might extend.
About the only thing that is surprising
about this bill is the fact that it wasn't
passed long ago. The nan in the street will
find it pretty hard to think Of any respectable
arguments against it,
Many members of congress remain active
in law firms which draw rich fees and re-
tainers from large corporations. Now, while
a congressman's salary of $500 a year is
not princely sum, it is at least enough to
provide very comfortable living, and a man
who wants to be a congressman ought to be
prepared to make it do
There may not in many cases, be anything
wrong with lawyer congressman taking fees
from outside interests; but it's a good thing
for public servant to avoid even the appear
ance of evil.
