British Stand Answered
In Affirmative When

PARIS, Oct. 18. UP
Frances reply to Great Bri-
tain's question on whether
France will cooperate with
Britain if the latter is at
tackled by Italy in the Mediterran-
can is a plain, yes" it was an
nounced officially tonight.
The British embassy stated that
Premier Pierre Laval feels he has
given the British satisfaction in
their demands.
The embassy said it could not
comment on whether the French
reply is satisfactory to Britain un-
til it has been studied in London,
but quoted Laval as reassuring it
on that point
Meanwhile, blockade of the Med
iterranean and Red Seas unless
economic and financial penalties
against Italy bring quick results
was considered increasingly likely
by League of Nations leaders.
Propose Blockade
Great Britain is expected, unless
the penalties imposed for Italy's
war on Ethiopia show positive effect
to propose that the blockade be en-
forced to cut Italy off from its East
African armies.
Belief that a blockade proposal
might be made soon was based part
1ty on 1oo
France will agree to the British de
mand that French ports be made
available as bases for British war
ships.
Close cooperation between France
and England i'll efforts to bring the
lo-Ethiopian war to a speedy end
were forecast in well-informed cir
cleS.
A joint Anglo-F French effort to re-
store peace in East Africa, it was
believed, will be based upon rapid
imposition upon Italy of all sane
tions applicable under League of
Nations authority.
While the nations debated diplo-
matte problems, a major military
mystery seemed developing on the
south front in Ethiopia.
Thrust Reported
Stories of a big scale thrust of
Italian armies up the south eastern
river valleys to cut the Adds Ababa
railway have been succeeded by Of
ficial reports of unexpected rains.
Permission for foreign newspaper
correspondents to visit the southern

Reports persist of isolated opera

JURORS HOLD
PAIR GU|L. TY
Minor Verdict Voted in
Rambout, Avalos Trial
On Conspiracy Charge

Guilty of conspiracy to commit
manslaughter, rs charged i'll the in
dictment," was the verdict brought in
shortly before noon today by the
jury which had been considering the
evidence presented in the trial of
Rene RambOut and Manuel Avalos,
originally indicted on a charge of
cOnspiring to murder Mrs. Rambout.
The case was given to the jury late
yesterday afternoon.
The jury returned to Judge Pher-
rims court room at 10:55 o'clock this
morning to hear portions of the
testimony read by the court steno-
grapher. They then retired to the
jury room and at 1l:40 o'clock an
nounced that they had reached
verdict.
Following the reading Of the ver-
dict and a poll of the jury which
showed that the verdict was unani-
nous, Edgar Hervey, counsel for
the defense, presented a motion
that this verdict be set aside and
also that the defendants be grant
ed a new trial. Judge McPherrin
set next Tuesday morning as time
for hearing these motions and also
for sentence. Rambout was releas-
ed under his present bond while
Avalos was remanded to the county

having offered Avalos $50 to kill
Mrs. Rambout at their home a mile
north Of CaleXico. Avalos, it was
claimed, accepted the offer and was
taken to the Rambout home in or
der to commit the deed. Changing
his mind at the last moment, Ava
los is said TO have come to Calexico
and revealed the details of the
conspiracy to officers there. Ar
rest of the men followed, and
statements taken from them at the
county jail outlined further details
of the alleged conspiracy.

Giants, Cards
Cash.; Tigers
Meet Ydnks
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Sept. 1--we
have with us today the big
battle of the season-Cants VS.
Cardinals-with the pennant
riding on every pitch in series
that should draw at least 10000
at the gate.
With Fred Fitzsimmons still
on the shelf and Bud Parmalee
a total loss, the Giants come up
to the big test with only three
reliable pitchers-Hubbell, Schu
macher and Castleman.
This isn't as bad as 1t might
be, for the Cards themselves
have but three dependable ell
bowers. to wit, the Dean boys
and Phil Collins. Therefore
with both teams slugging as they
have been of late, the carnage
among the pitchers should be
something frightful.
The Tigers are in town for what
also was to have been a crucial
series with the Yanks. but not
even Broadway is much steamed
up over this one, with the Coch-
rane crew seven and a half lengths
in front.
Parmalee Fails
Therefore, we must dismiss them
lightly and return to the sad
strange case of Bud Parmalee, who
must be listed as the prize goat Of
the year. the man who can't fin
ish what he starts and the main
reason why the Giants are third
instead of first.
The Pirates finished him yeSter-
day. That made eight straight
times Bud has taken his shower
early. But it won't happen again.
Bill Terry will see to that by keep
ing him in the protective shelter
of the dugout.
Tn Giants walloped Guy Bush
for 16 hits and even built a four
run ninth inning rally around
Mel Otis thirtieth home run, but
Bud had already tossed up a
homer to Paul Waner with the
base loaded, to say nothing of
a mess or other hits and flock
of passes, and had long since de-
parted when his buddies rallied.
The inevitable result was Pirates,
10; Giants, 7.
p. Dean Wins 18th
Meanwhile the cards were
slaughtering the Phils to give
Paul Dean his eighteen t h
triumph, 10-2, and the heart
less Cubs were pounding out 10
hits off the Braves for their
eighth straight victory, 15-2.
The West made clean sweep

the Dodgers, IA.

Sox humbled the Red Sox, 10

Golf Survivors
Narrow AT
Cleveland
By DAVIS J. WALSH

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. H..
AS a result of some very fine and
exclusive undermining and throat
cutting on legitimate basis, the
national championship in anna
teur golf had narrowed itself
down today to bare essentials
with the defending champion and
IS others left in the field.
Lawson Little, winner of sue
cessive British titles and the
American championship in 1884,
was still around and about largely
because he seems to be the type of
competitor who pours in a sub
par "a for the first nine as he did
yesterday when pressed by young
man named Knox Young, jr., Of
Pittsburgh.
But many Of the big names that
previously made this tournament
an incident of national import
ance are long since wiped out,
never to be remembered again un-
til next year.
Goodman Among Survivors
Some of those who remain are
Johnny Goodman, 1888 National
Open champion; George Voigt and
Tommy Goodwin, New York;
Charley Kocsis, Detroit and John
B, Nash, the Canadian. The rest
are as definitely gone as though
they never had been.
Among the survivors for the
fifth-round this morning we have,
for instance, Little playing a gent
by the name of w. B. Mccullough,
Philadelphia, who yesterday eliml-
mated no less a parsonage than
Jack Westland, Chicago. on the
eighteenth hole.
Givan, Haas in Action
Harry Givan, Seattle; Oliver
Transue, Cleveland; Fred Haas,
jr., New Orleans; Eddie Meiser,
Cleveland; the gent named Nc
Cullough, already mentioned, are
other fifth-round survivors.
The fourth match of the upper
bracket couples Nash, the Cana
dian, with Haas.
Much of the action and strength
is now confined to the lower
bracket, with not only Little but
Goodman and Goodwin playing in
that sector, Goodman'S opponent
in the 18-hole fifth round this
morning will be Meister.
In the same half of the draw,
we have Goodwin playing Kocsis
and Voight meeting Willie Tur-
mesa, both unusual matches.

back, may end Jack Hagertys
search for a triple threat back.
Nolan came to Georgetown in
his freshman year with the distinc.
ton Of being a fine passer and
kicker. His passing measured UP
to expectations but his kicking
became poorer as the season prog.
reSSed, and as result he did lit
tie or none of the kicking for last
years freshman team.
So far this year Nolan's kicking
has greatly improved, and if it
continues Hagerty's search for a

The Hoya mentor wants someone
to aid Joe Meglen in the kicking
this year. Previous to Nolan'S re.
turn to form. Frank HaShey gave
notice to be Meglen'S nearest COM
petitor. However, Hashey will not
see as much action as Nolan. He
is too light and fragile to be used
often. He is the type of back that
is inserted in a lineup for a few
minutes.
Nolan promises to be the regu.
lar quarterback on this years
team. He will do all the passing
and if he can continue to i'm.
prove his kicking. he will prove
to be a valuable aid to Joe
Meglen in kicking the Hoyas out
of danger.

School in Wilkes-Barre, Pa, and

Georgetown. He has been used
as a forward passer from the
moment he stepped on the field at
st. Mary's High School to the
present time. Hagerty has not
altered his style of passing to
any great extent, as he is per-
fectly satisfied with Nolan's &C.
curacy.
