Eight New Faces
Matchmaker Charlie Swami is
bringing no fewer than eight
new faces to Washington when
he stages his second show at
the American Legion arena the
night of July II.
Besides frankie RemuS, mid
dleweight champion of the
Navy, and frankie LoBianco,
light heavyweight champion Of
the New York National Guard,
who meet in the main TO-
rounder, the lads unseen in
these parts before who will ap-
pear on the Legion card are:
Jimmy Walsh, runner-up to
Remus for the Navy middle
weight title and his opponent,
Tony Dominquis, of Cuba;
Jimmy Jones, a Baltimore 147-
FOUNDER; Petite EckSteln OF the
U. S. S. Tennessee, and Jerry

Save Bout For Norfolk
Ken Overlin, Norfolk sailor
lad, was the original opponent
picked out for RemuS, their
meeting to be something in the
way of a natural had it been
possible to book them locally.
But Overlin has found it de-
sirable to alibi out of this
match, insofar as Washington
is concerned, hiding behind a
cut eye which he claims is not
healing satisfactorily.
The smart boys say Overlin
is really holding out to meet
Remus some time later in Nor.
folk, where the Navy interest
alone is expected to guarantee
a sell out. Overlin holds no
Navy title at the moment but
is the accepted logical chal-
1enger for the undisputed title

Round
BEATS JACOBS
IN FINAL
BY CHARLES A. SMITH

WIMBLEDON, England, July z
Q.N.S0.-Dorothy Round, Great
Britain's No. / player, today de-
feated Helen Jacobs, Americas
No. /, to win the all-England
tennis championship. The score
was 90, So, 6-3.
The crowd went wild as victor
and loser shook hands at the
net. The usually staid English
gave Miss Round one of the
most tumultuous ovations ever
seen in a tennis stadium. The
crowd stamped, yelled and
clapped hands. Even King George
and Queen Mary seemed beside
themselves with joy.
Miss Round is the first English
woman to win the title since
Mrs. L. A. Godfree held it in
1925. The tall slender young
lady who will celebrate her 25th
birthda. next Friday defeated
Miss Jacobs in the final round
of the hard court championships
Of Great Britain last year and
although she was eliminated by
Miss Jacobs in the American
championships, her victory today
was neither a surprise nor an
upset.
Great FOrehands
Miss Jacobs lost because she
was unable to combat the English
girls marvellous forehand driving,
which was the best seen here in
many years and which gained
point after point.
Dorothy's successful number of
forehand placements staggered
even the old-timers. Helen often
stood helpless as the ball whizzed
past her.
The worst line decisions ever
seen in a major championship in
England not only frequently upset
both girls but aroused the anger
of the crowd and led to much
"barracking" of the officials which
is the English equivalent for the
bird of the Bronx cheer.
English Like Sports
Miss Jacobs appeared in cream
flannel shorts with a blue stripe
running down the seams, and
many an eye was cast toward the
royal box to see how Queen Mary
was reacting to this costume. Miss
Jacobs was the first girl ever to
appear in shorts before her
majesty. What the Queen thought
did not become apparent to the
interested fans. The fans them
selves liked it.
Miss Jacobs won the opening
game of the first set on her own
service, but seemed to go to pieces
when several bad decisions went
against her, and the English girl
took the set rather handily at
60.

competition, but that grand old
campaigner, Elizabeth Ryan, OF
California, successfully carried
the Stars and Stripes to victory
when, paired with Rene Matthew,
of France, she crashed through in
the doubles for her nineteenth
Wimbledon title.
Miss Ryan's clever net play and
her uncanny foreStalling Of her
opponents every move were the
chief factors in their defeat of
Dorothy Andrus, of Stamford, and
Nine. Jung Henrotin, of France,

Two other Americans, George
Lott, of Chicago, and Lester Stoe-
fen, of Los Angeles, captured the
mems double crown by defeating
the defending champions of the
last two years, Jean Borotra and
Jacques Brugnon, Of France, in
straight sets, 60, e3. 6-.
The Americans produced the
most marvellous combination work
ever seen at Wimbledon. They
brought the crowd to its feet with
their dashing play. They domi-
mated the match from beginning

FINISHES
EXCESS LAND
MEASURE
Pigeon Hole Resting Place for
Bill "Putiing D. c. Heads
In Realty Business"
BY ROGER HAWTHORNE

Refusing to let the District
Commissioners "go into the real
estate business" a House Dis
trict subcommittee today killed
via the pigeon hole route the -ex-
cess land condemnation bill.
The measure, which has al
ready passed the Senate. would
have authorized the Commits
sioners to acquire through con-
demnation proceedings property
in excess of that actually needed
for public Improvements.
Its Objectionable feature, as ex,
planned by Representative Vincent
L. PalmiSano (DO of Maryland
chairman of the subcommittee,
is that the Commissioners would
be empowered to re-divide un.
needed property and sell it to the
highest bidder.
This would be decidedly unfair
to the original owners and very
probably unconstitutional, the
Marylander declared. Failure to
report the measure out definitely
precludes any action on it by the
present Congress.
Among those testifying in its
behalf were DR.. Llewellyn Jordan
of the Board of Trade; Walter L.
Fowler, assistant corporation coun
sci; E. A. Dent, District surveyor
and Thomas Settle, national capi
tai park and planning secretary.

MODEL HOMES

REVENUE
Suggests PWA Loan to Widen
Scheme For Abolishing
Alleys in Capital

Development of Washington as
the finest residential city in the
United States and, indeed, in the
world, is the aim of President
Roosevelt.
The President expressed this
aim today in discussing the alley
dwelling elimination bill which he
signed yesterday. He asserted that,
since he first came to Washing
ton in 1918, he has envisioned 1t
as a city of fine residences.
Opposes Industries
Establishment here of manufac-
turing or industrial concerns IS
looked upon with diSfavor by the
President, he said, since it would
detract from the city'S residential
attractiveness.
Asked if he did not believe the
discouragement of industrial de-
velopment would deprive the city
of a source of revenue, the Pres
ident replied that model homes
and fine residences would attract
money and provide good source
of revenue.
In taking this stand, President
Roosevelt placed himself in op.
position to policies Of the local
Chamber of Commerce and other
trade groups, which make con.
stant effort to attract industrial
concerns to Washington.
Asks For Study
Commenting further on the
alley dwelling act, the President
said he had requested the Dis
trict commissioners and Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, civic leader
who sponsored the legislation, to
make a study of the matter and
report to him in the near future
on selection of an agency to
administer provisions of the law.
He expressed the opinion that
the $5O0,00O provided in the law
would not be enough for the
work and suggested that the
Commissioner make an effort to
obtain as much more money as
is necessary for the development,
mentioning the PWA as a posi-
BILE source of such funds.
The President has received a
request from the Commissioners
that they be designated to admin
lister the new law, streSSing the
fact that they are familiar with
the situation and the needs of
the city. The Executive is said
to have taken the matter under
consideration.

BILL
MAY LOSE OUT

Jeopardized by approaching ad-
journment, the Districts new in
surance code which passed the
House yesterday will be sent to-
day to the Senate's District Com
mittee.
The bill passed the House by
the overwhelming vote of ia to
l and Senate approval is certain,
providing the measure can be
laid before it prior to adjourn
ment.
This appears unlikely. however,
as the last meeting of the Senate
District Committee is to be held
late today and that group is
chiefly concerned over fate of
the Districts race track bill.
A bare possibility for passage
of the code lies in the commit
tees taking prompt action on it
before taking up the race track
bill.

of insurance to regulate activities

AUTO LIABILITY
BILL BLOCKED
IN SENATE
7 D. C. Measures Passed by
Upper House; MCCarran
Objects to Car Bill

Chances for passage Of the
automobile responsibility bill were
virtually killed today when it's
consideration was blocked in the
Senate during consideration Of
measures pending on the calen-
dar.
After passing seven District
bills in rapid-fire succession, the
Senate was unable to consider the
automobile bill on the objection
of Senator Pat McCarran CD Of
Nevada, a member of the Senate
District Committee. Unanimous
consent is necessary to take up
bills on the calendar.
Passed by House
This measure has already passed
the House and it appeared that
the Senate would have little op-
portunity to take it up again this
session. It makes auto insurance
compulsory after a first accident.
The Senate passed a bill pro-
viding pensions for needy blind
persons in the District and
amended the measure as passed
by the House so that the max
imum monthly payment will be
$50. The bill would terminate at
the expiration Of three years.
Another bill would provide an
instructor from the United States
Army for high school cadets in
the Washington high schools.
Under the economy act such in
struction was denied the cadets
and Lieut.. Col. Wallace M.
Craigie, retired, has been giving
his services to the schools with
out pay.
Exempts Property
Creation of the post of archivist
and an archives commission is pro-
vided in another measure passed
today and a House bill exempting
certain property of the National
Society of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution from taxation was
also o@spproxed. s- < .a.s
OTHER Bills passed provide for
the lowering of the liquor license
fees for steamboats, and the pro-
viding of educational opportuni-
ties for children of service men
killed in the World War. These
bills go to the President now for
signature.
Another measure which must
pass the Senate would regulate
the foreclosure of mortgages and
deeds of trust and provides for a
9O-day notice before foreclosure
sale.

Unselfishness In Politics
Urged By First Lady

Expressing hope that women's
interest in politics would always
be an unselfish one, Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt addressed a
throng Of about 1900 persons on
the lawn of the Congressional
Country Club following a break
fast and pageant in her honor
held yesterday by the Women's
Democratic Club of Montgomery
county.
Mrs. Roosevelt declared that
politics touch the things in which
women are interested and that,
for that reason, women can do
much for Government. She said:
"MOst women are interested
in politics because of the causes
which interest them. In other
words, we belong to a party be-
cause we believe that party will
achieve the results we want to
see achieved more than any
other party.
"We are for candidates be-
cause we think those candidates
will most nearly fulfill the
hopes and ideals we may have
for the future and our interest
I'm politics is nearly always be-
