Stedman Prescott, States Attorney

Staying of Allen B. Wilson, of Silver
Spring, mistake murder" for which
an alleged gamblers enemies are said
to be responsible.
Wilson, a newspaper route man,
was slain before the home of Mickey
Mcdonald, who police say is "big-
shot" gambler. Wilson was cut down
Tuesday by a pistol shot as he was
delivering a morning newspaper at
McDonald's home. The theory. sup
ported by statement of Mcdonald,
is that Wilson was killed by mistake
when gunner thought him to be Nc
Donald.
Wilson was a route man for the
Washington Herald and was making
his rounds at Ais A. NJ, when the
gangsters in the bushes fired charges
of buckshot at his car.
AS he threw his car into gear, and
started down the highway, one of the
gunner fired the pistol, sending the
DulEet through the window that caused
Wilson's death.
Wilson, the father of three small
children, was taken to Washington
Sanitarium. He died at $3.50 A. NJ,
never regaining consciousness.
Cigarette butts were found beneath
a tree near the ambuscade. There also
was quantity of charred matches
Nearby, on the grass, were found the
five shotgun shells.
Mrs. Mcdonald was awakened by
the firing and rushed to her window
on the second floor. Below, she told
police, she saw man run up the
highway as Wilson was trying tc
speed away, and fire pistol.
Mcdonald called Takoma Park

Someone who was trying to gel
me-some mob-has shot another
man," he said to officers.
When police arrived at McDonald's
home, he greeted them with gun in
his hand.
According to States Attorney Pres
colt, Mcdonald later refused to make
any statement.
"Of course there's no doubt that
this is gangster warfare" said Pres
colt.
"We have mighty few leads. The
only thing we can do is to keep or
working and try to crack the case"

The meeting will be held at the

Nice, Fred Zihlman, candidate for
Congress; Jos. 1. France, candidate
for United States Senator; George
Henderson, candidate for Attorney
General, and Barnard Welsh, candi-
date for Judge of the Circuit Court,

party; The following Will speak: Jos.
A. Cantrell, Jas. Cunningham Rogers,
Millward C. Taft and Walter w.
Dawson will speak. Rose X. Daw-
son is chairman of the committee in
charge.
Gov. Albert C. Richie and other
members of the State Democratic
ticket visited Montgomery County last
Friday and placed before the voters
the issues of the November election.
The Democratic speakers contented
themselves with a brief summary of
the achievements of the administra-
ton. Answers were made to attacks
by the Republicans who seek to over
throw the long and successful career
of Gov. Richie. The Democratic rail-
lies were staged at Rockville, Bethes-
da and Takoma Park.
One of the most significant state
ments at the meeting in Rockville
was made by George L. Radcliffe,
candidate for United States. Senator
and one of the close friends of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He said "It is highly
essential that there be Democratic
Administration in Maryland and
Montgomery County. In order to get
the best cooperation from the Nation
al Government, citizens Of Maryland
and Montgomery County should sup
port Democratic nominees"
Gov. Richie cited the record of
his administration and urged the
voters of the county to return Eek
perienced men" to office to handle
"the enormous problems" which will
face the administration which takes
office in January. He also urged cleo
ton of Democrats who would be in
sympathy both with him and the
National Administration in the coun-
ties and cities.
The Governor denied a published
statement that employees Of the mo-
tor vehicles commissioners office had
been given raise and then asked to
donate to the campaign fund. No
State Office can receive raise in pay
without the authority Of the Governor
and the board Of public works, he
said, and neither had approved any
such action. All State workers will re-
ceive returns Of their salary cuts at
one time and no single Office will be
favored, he declared.
"If anything has been done toward
soliciting campaign funds from any
State employees which are not given
freely, cheerfully and with the good
will and desire of the employees, then
I have no knowledge of it. This Is the
only basis on which such contributions
should be accepted. do not want
them on any other basis" the Gov
ernor declared.
Gov. Richie lauded the admins
tration of Montgomery County, espec-
tally In It's handling Of relief problems.

call at once.
AS Babe Ruth remarked recently:
When club has two men hitting
consistently, all the time, it has a
winning punch. That's what has
kept the Tigers in the American
League race. Gehringer and Goslin
have been hitting. And that's what
has been making the Giants look so
good. Terry and OFT are smack
ing that ball day in and day out"
The Yankees do not pay so much
attention to the niceties of defense
because they are in a hitting league,
which does not specialize in these
more subtle features of run stop
ping.
Manager Mccarthy will go along
for while with pitcher who is
being hit because he is in that sort
of league, and he has run-making
ball club.

There you have it. The peoples
choices have been nominated by
Memphis Bill Terry and Joseph Ed
ward Cronin, rival bosses in the big
league all-star alteration at the
Polo Grounds Tuesday, July 10.
However, they appear to be the
only peoples choices they chose in
the more controversial positions, ac-
cording to the starting lineups an
nounced today.
Cronin, American League man.
ager, compromised with fans on
third base, where he wants Frank
Higgins of the Athletics and the
public wants Jimmy Dykes of the
White SoX, by naming Higgins. He
compromised the Simmons Averill
dispute over center field the same
way.
Other HurlerS Named
The pitching staff will prove
equally unfamiliar to the boys who
sent in votes. They hung up quite
a majority for Whitehill, Hudlin
and Grove. Cronin scarcely heard
the uproar; he picked Ruffing, Rus
sell and Harder.
Terry larded his selections in the
National League list with a bit of
diplomacy. He sprinkled the word
"or" quite literally, listing Klein
"or Medwick" and OFT "or Cuyler."
However, it is to be assumed both
MedWick and Klein will not play
left field, so the good public may
expect to see the team take the
field with OFT, whom they did not
want so badly, and sans Medwick,
whom they wanted very badly. The
Giants boss relented on Travis Jack
son, the public's man, in place of
Arky Vaughan at short.
Public May Forget
It is quite likely that the spectacle
of Gomez, the great fireball ace Of
the Yankees, coming to grips with
Carl Hubbell, rangy giant portsider,
will thrill the public to the point
where they will forget that some of
their other pet notions we're passed

WIMBLEDON, England, July T.
| George Lott of Chicago and Lester
Stoefen of Los Angeles today cap
tured the mems doubles title of the
all-England tennis championships
after Dorothy Round, English star,
! had defeated Helen Jacobs, Amer
! lean champion, in the women's
/ singles final. The American duo de-
feated the defending champions,
Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon
Of France, 60, 6-3, GA.
The Americans broke Borotra's
service in the second game and we're
on top all the way. The Americans
fed him lob after lob and he outed
most of them.
The contest was held up for a few
minutes while Miss Round was pre-
sented to the king and queen in the
royal box. Miss Round succeeded
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody of Cali
4 fornia as the Wimbledon champion.
/ The Californian was the favorite,
but Miss Round played better ten

straight sets. The score was 60, ST,
6-3.
Poor Line Decisions
The crowd of more than 10000
cheered Miss Round wildly. Her
victory following Fred Perry'S tri-
umph in the mems singles yester-
day gave England both of the two
major titles for the first time since
1909.
Miss Round played sound game
and unquestionably would have won
anyway, but the Californian was the
victim of several seemingly mex
cusable line decisions.
Miss Round forced the pace all
the way, hitting every ball with her
/ full strength. She forced Miss
Jacobs to remain at the baSeline.
Helens backhand was faulty. She
allowed Dorothy to come to the net
repeatedly, where the English girl
scored time and again with soft
shots to the side. Miss Round broke
Miss Jacobs service in the third
and seventh games.
With the sets even, Miss Round
broke service in the first game of
the final set, lineman giving Miss
Jacobs a bad decision on the last
point. Miss Jacobs had sent over
low forehand which raised a
cloud of white chalk, but the official
ruled the shot out.
Scores Love Game
Miss Jacobs came back to break
service in the second game, winning
at love on sparkling net volleys.
Games followed service until the
fifth when Miss Round laid down
four clean placements to break and
she led, three games to two.
Two drop shots which left Miss
Round flat-footed enabled Helen to
level the match at three-all. Miss
Round again broke in the seventh
game as Helen muffed two smashes
and held her own service to lead 5-3.
Miss Round broke service to win
game, set and match, leading 40-15,
in the last game after scoring two
beautifully angled shots. Miss Round
won the title, when Miss Jacobs net
ted an easy return.
The title-holding womens tennis
tandem of Miss Elizabeth Ryan,
formerly of California, and Nine.
Rene Matthew of France, smashed
through a two-straight sets victory
in the finals. They proved too fast
and accurate for Miss Dorothy An
drus of Stamford, Conn, and Nine.
