HENDERSON ZONE
SOLUTION SOUGHT
Attorneys Confer With Capt.
Dram on Proposed Com
promise Plan.

A compromise on the proposed re-
coming of the Henderson Castle prop
erty, at Sixteenth and Belmont streets
to permit an apartment house develop
ment was being sought today by OPP
posing sides in conferences with Of
ficials of the District Zoning Commits
sion.
AS an outgrowth of debate yesterday
before the commission, opposing coun-
sci were to meet today with Capt
Hugh P. Dram, commission executive
officer, to discuss proposal to pre-.
serve restrictions against apartments
for a 100-foot strip of the property
along Belmont street, but to allow
apartment house coming for the larger
lower portion of the estate left by
Mrs. John B. Henderson.
If this compromise is adopted the
castle could be RACED and replaced by
an apartment house.
Approve Four Petitions.
The commission, in executive ses-
sion, approved four petitions for
changes in coming classiflcations, re-
jected six others and deferred action
on four cases, including that involv.
ing the Henderson property.
Classification of the Henderson
property to permit sale for apartment
house development was urged by At
torneys George E. Edelin, and Robert
0. Roger, who commended it would be
impossible to sell the property for
private residential use.

Crowds Mill About Streets
as Violation of Article XIV
Is Seen.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 3.-Large crowds
milled through Downing Street be-
fore the prime minister's residence
TODAY as British warshipS patrolled
5000 miles of the empires traditional
sea lanes, on guard against an inter-
ruption of empire communications
through war in East Africa.
The men in the street were heard
to ask what next? Is it war? Where
will it lead? Will England be drawn
in?"
Street bulletins were displayed
through London declaring: "Aduwa
bombed-Italians advance
Authoritative sources said the gov
eminent felt the whole future of the
British Empire depended on its ability
to defend its own interests in case of
attack through the spread of the
Ethiopian conflict or as the re-
suit of League restraints.
Eden Of for Geneva.
Anthony Eden, minister for League
of Nations affairs, was started back
for Geneva by way of Paris to con-
vince the League of Nations and
France that the British policy was
clearly and firmly in support of the
League covenant opposed to war.
1t was stated authoritatively that no
official attention will be paid to yes
terday's speech of Premier Mussolin
in Rome in which he said he did not
believe true Britons would approve of
sanctions against Italy.
The British government was Off
cially informed from Geneva of En-
peror Halle Selassie's declaration that
Italian planes had bombed Aduwa
with civilian casualties.
Authoritatively, it was announced
that today's developments, if borne
out in fact, constituted violation of
Article XIV of the League Covenant
under which nations must refrain from
aggressive hostilities while the League
is attempting to conciliate dispute
Must Determine Resort to War.
1t was said that the League Council
now must determine whether there
has been an Italian resort to war
while the Council was drawing up the
requisite report.
If the Council so decides, it was
stated that this constitutes violation
of Article XII of the Covenant as a
result of which Article XVI-the sane
tions article-must be Immediately
operative against Italy.
This, declared an authority, is the
considered opinion of the British gov
eminent.
The task of the League Council, in
its meeting Saturday, will be to de-
termine whether Italy has committed
an act of war.
The British government was under
stood to feel that the situation and
the facts probably will be clarified
officially and completely by Saturday,
allowing the Council to proceed on re-
liable information.

The high point of excitement came

take up the tarpaulins that covered
the infield against the rain all night,
were caught by the wind and hail.
The huge canvas covering, large
enough to smother the entire diamond,
was caught in the wind, ripped from
their grasps and sent billowing into
the stands.

 If the pitcher can put and keep that ball where the batsman doesn't want it he is very likely to be ef- fective in the long run. It is when that ball starts to misbehave that the pitcher gets into trouble.

 Even though the experts have been predicting each year that next season will be Shelly's last he has stayed on, continuing to send his moist offerings past the best hit ters in the league as they have come and gone. He frankly believes he can continue to do it for at least two more seasons of regular mound duty.

For some reason or other Big Ed simply could not please the Phila- delphia fans. His best efforts in the outfield and at bat were greeted with leerS instead of cheers. No wonder then that he was delighted to get away even though getting away meant donning the uniform of a last-place club.
 s Rajah Reassured Ed
 The first thing Hornsby did was to greet Ed with the announce ment that from then on Big Ed would be one of his regular out fielders. Having put the newcomer at ease Hornsby went to work on him with the happy result that Coleman has rewarded his new boss with brand of baseball far super for to anything he showed in Phil adelphia. Furthermore, the big fel- low has developed into quite a fav- orite with the Browns fans-and their cheers are sweet music to his ears.
 If the Pittsburgh fans had not become vociferous in their demands that Floyd Young be given Q chance to play in the Pirate in field one of the current seasons sensations probably would still be sitting on the bench just as he had for three years.

The career of Rogers Hornsby, both as player and manager in the National league, has been dotted with incidents that might lead one to believe that he was either none too easy to get along with or that he did not have the knack of hand ling men. The numerous shifts about the National league-he play ed with St. Louis, New York, Bos- ton and Chicago-were never fully explained, but after each there fol- lowed yelled hints that Hornsby did not get along"
 Yet today, as manager of the St. Louis Browns in the American league, we find Hornsby in the role Of a considerate and understanding leader who has been able to instill new life into cast off players and make them produce brand of ball they hardly dreamed of before.
 He took Julius Solters from the Red Sox when he was just so-so as an outfielder and hitter and then brought him along to the point where several teams have been bid ding for him.
 And then there is the case of Big Ed Coleman. Coleman was mighty unhappy athlete when Hornsby got him from Connie Mack's Athletics.

 Tony Piet was the Pirates regu- lar second baseman when Young first came to Pittsburgh, but Tony proved so durable that Young never got chance to play. When Piet was traded the Pirates brought Cookie Lavagetto from the Coast and let Young remain on the bench. Even when Cookie was forced out of the lineup by injuries or taken out, they refused to use Young, in- stead giving Tommy Tevenow the call
 Traynor certainly has no regrets that for once he needed the cries of the ''grandstand managers" ano gave Young chance to show what he could do.
 It develops that the New York Yankees made a smart move in buying an option of Joe DiMaggio the young Coast slugger, last fall for the lad has come along rapid ly under the guidance of Lefty o. Doul and would bring a better price in the market today.
 O'Doul names DiMaggio as the most promising outfielder the Coast league is readying for the major leagues. Right now his fielding and |
 ] throwing are of the major league grade. He may not be the batting sensation he was last season but he has been hitting at .360 cliI and that is not 8 figure to be sneezed at. His batting average hardly shows him up for his req worth at the plate for he is at his best in the pinches.

SHELLENBACK IS
 STILL BATTLING. COAST SW|NCERS
Spit-Ball Hurler, at Age of 36, Continues to Be
 Leading Pitcher
By PAUL ZIMMERMAN Associated Press Sports Writer)


 LOS ANGELES, July 1l.-One of the few remaining spit-ball hurlers in organized baseball, Frank Shell lenback, manager of the Hollywood club of the Pacific Coast league, has both the opposition hitters and statisticians baffled this year.
 For at the age of 36 Shellenback not only continues to be one of the leading pitchers of the circuit but with each added victory he in- creases the all-time league record for total triumphs.
 At the end of the first half of the 1885 season the Stars pilot pitcher had won eight out of 10 games, increasing his total to 283 for 14l2 seasons of toll on the mound in the class A circuit. This was 20 more than the mark set by Charles (Spider) Baum, now sec retary of the Hollywood club.
 Shellenback, despite his phenome- nal pitching success, has been ma rooned in the Coast league by too much moisture. He had one chance in the big leagues-with the Chicago White Sox-before the spit-ball was legislated out. But this was in 1917 when he was just starting
 First Yeas As Boss
 The Hollywood manager came to this league in 1920, playing with the old Vernon club. After sojourns with several other clubs in the cir cult he came to Hollywood in 1926 and has been on the Stars roster ever since. This is his first season as manager.
 Since coming to Hollywood, Shell ly has pitched 173 victories for a .676 average. Just to help his own cause along, he has hit mere than 50 home runs during that time, keeping his batting average for a nine year tour of duty with the club above 250.
 His best year was 1881, when he won Is straight games, annexed 27 out of 34, hit home runs and chalked up batting average of .285. Last season, although suffer- ing from neuritis in his left arm, he won IA against 12 defeats but appears to be back in his old stride again this year.
