Lurie, New York city's ranking
municipal player, stood out as
Barnard Welsh's most serious OBJ
stacle to another national public
parks tennis championship today.
Meeting in the semifinals Of the
thirteenth annual tournament to-
day, these two promise to offer
one Of the best matches yet to be
played since the tourney began
here last Monday. To date, both
have marched to easy victories.
Welsh, who halls from Wash
ington, D. c., captured the title
last year at Minneapolis and so
far has played a brand Of tennis
that easily has stamped him as
one Of the best.
On strokes Welsh has appeared
superior to Lurie. But the little
fellow from Gotham has shown
an uncanny ability to be every
where at one time and make re-
turns of almost impossible shots.
The other Semi-finals match
brings together William Schom-
mer of Minneapolis, seeded third,
and Arnold Simons, Of Louisville,
seeded second.

against Ethiopia, in the opinion

ton of an Italo- Ethiopian conflict
and of possible ensuing warfare
between Italy and the big powers.
Writing in the newspaper Deutsch
AIlgemeine Zeitung, he stated:
ITALY Is not yet strong enough
to defy Great Britain regarding
the AbySSinian question. She
should be warned against exag-
geratiOns regarding her real
strength, which might throw
her into an abyss"
ITALIAN NAVY THIRD
Gladisch admitted the italian
navy ranks a good third among
the European naval powers, but he
denied that even a Franco italian
entente would help the Italians,
powerful as their navy might be.
to win in possible conflict with
Great Bratain.
The admiral contended Great
Britain could block the Straits of
Gibraltar, thereby cutting Oft
Italy from her coal and cotton
supply across the Atlantic, and
that Britain would probably. not
hesitate to close down the Suez
Canal.
England, he said, could easily
restore the balance of power in
the Mediterranean by reinforce.
ments from her home fleet. He
continued:

Sir Samuel Hoare, resuming his
broken vacation, will keep in
touch with Whitehall, directing
all diplomatic moves. Ramsay Mac

There was no official confirma-
