Helpful Move.

Hciplul Move.
A statement that the United States
would not attempt to violate the
sanctions or penalties imposed by the
League would be helpful at the mo-
ment to world peace. And the
precedent for this action might well
be taken from the new neutrality law
itself. For the League members will
become quaSi-belligerents when they
impose economic penalties on the ag-
gressor nation. Italy. The United
States might then conceivably in
woke neutrality as a basis for con-
curing in the blockade against Italy.
This would not require formal con-
currence, but a mere extension of the
list of articles and supplies that can
be embargoed against Italy by the
terms of the Presidents powers re-
Gently granted to him by Congress.
Italy may resent the step. but all
this merely reveals what neutrality"
can mean in the diplomatic language
of realistic world.

MussoLini Shouts
Loud Defiance To
England's VieWs

CAGLIARI, Sardinia, June 8.
W.P)-Benito Mussolini plainly told
Great Britain today that Italys
course in Abyssinia is for Italy
alone to decide, and that he would
not be stopped.
Addressing troops of the Sabauda
division, after he piloted a three
motored seaplane 280 miles across
the Tyrrhenian sea from Rome,
he said of England
I'VE will initiate to the letter
those who presume to be our
school masters. They have shown
that when it was necessary to Gre
ate or defend an empire, they did
not take into consideration at all
the opinions of the world"
Italy, he said, had firmly decid-
ed to accept no coercion in its
dealings with Abyssinia.
Only yesterday, in the British
house of commons, speakers of all
three main parties denounced
Italy's course in it's dispute with
Abyssinia.
The men whom Mussolini ad-
dressed today are about TO sail for
East Africa, to wait during the
equatorial rainy season for his Or
ders as to war.

Babe Didrikson, who'll begin a
tour with Sarazen shortly, has gone
sissy in a big way. Back in 1882,
when she was burning up the Olym-

hair. Just ran her fingers through
it-and her clothes were awful. And
she scorned powder, rouge and lip
stick. Now she wears pastel en-
sembles, sports a permanent, and
enough cosmetics to stock shop,

uncorked were only a little" off

LOPEZ AND LEWIS DISQUALIFIED
AS MATCH ENDS OUTSIDE RING

first one and then the other poked
and jabbed and then came the cli-
max when both slid out through
the ropes and the fun was on.
The first half of the double main
event between Matros Kirilenko
and Ernie Dusek provided plenty
of action if nothing else. Dusek
won the first and third falls to take
the match. Ernie took the first fall
in 20 minutes by an arm lock which
Matros could not break and had
to give up.
Kirilenko won the second fall in
eight minutes when Ernie cata-
pulled himself off the ropes in an
effort to knock Matros groggy,
missed his mark and sprawled out
on the canvas. 1t was then but a
matter of stern formality for Tar
zan" as the fans had nicknamed
the Russian, to stroll over and
squat on his PROSTATE opponent
and settle the question temporarily.
Ernie won the deciding fall by
means of an airplane spin which
left Matros' head spinning plenty
and unable to pull himself together
to save the situation.
Big Fellows Brawl
Billed as a wrestling match, the
second event on the program was
horribly misnamed, as it developed
into a slapping, punching, kicking
and gouging event between Tor
Johnson, 1926 FOUNDER who halls
from Sweden and Hans Steinke, 240
pound German strong man. The
bout got under way slowly and for
a while it appeared that it would
be extremely uninteresting.
However, after Tor had eXer-
cised his elbows on the German for
a few moments, the latter, his war
like instincts fully aroused, stepped
III and slaped the big boys face
plenty, drawing blood during the
process. johnson blubbered about
for a while in orthodox comedy
style, only to receive another face
warming from Steinke.
A real comedy angle was INJECT
ed into the proceedings when Hans
tangled Tor all up in the ropes
holding the light over the ring in
place and there were several excit-
ing moments during which Bill
Tackett strove nightly to extricate
Tor from his predicament before
his head was sawed off.
Finally after 10 minutes of this
Steinke picked Johnson up, held
him over his head for a moment
or two and then plopped him onto
the floor with a resounding crash
for the fall. This was not enough
for Tor however and he jumped
up ready to renew the feud further
with the result that Steinke had to
tie him up in his bathrobe and
Johnson ended up his evenings ap-

Veteran of many campaigns, Ed
Stranger" Lewis showed last
night that he knows all the tricks,
right down the line, old as we'll
as new, and when Vincent Lopez
attempted to display any of the
supposedly newer stunts which
have been added to the ancient and
once honorable sport known as
wrestling he found the Stranger
able to keep pace with him and
even to go him one better.
Their main event bout here last
night was a disappointment from
the wrestling standpoint and end
ed in near free-for-all as the two
combatants failed each other out
side the ring, driving cash custo-
merS from their seats and forced
Bill Tackett to disqualify both of
them after each had won fall.
The first fall of this bout went
to Lewis when the masSaged Lopez
torso with seemingly vicious elbow
wallopS and then pinned him to
the mat. This was accomplished in
about Is minutes of tussling and
shuffling about the ring. Lopez
wo nthe second fall in like manner
in eight minutes and matters stood
even-steven when they came out
for the final and deciding fall.

which direction the tide of battle
was moving in this third fall as

GIANTS SET
HOT PACE To
BOOST LEAD
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 8-The daZz-
ling pace of the New York Giants
is rapidly killing off other National
league contenders.
The Giants today were out in
front by 51$ games without a dan
gerous challenger in sight.
Trailing the Giants in No. 2 spot
seems to be suicide. The Cubs
dropped to fourth place after a
brief tenure there Then the world
champion Cardinals put on siX-
game winning streak and climbed
into second place. After one day,
they folded up, losing three games
in succession. Pittsburgh vaulted
from fifth to second, but after a
days occupancy, tumbled back to
third.
Yesterday the Giants defeated
the Boston Braves, 80 in 10 in
nings. Mel OFT hit a homer in the
ninth, tying the score, and Bill
Terry singled in the tenth. driving
in the winning run.
AllSl WllllllllS live SJI dISllG IlOLo-
burgh lost to Cincinnati, 1874. The
game was halted by rain after Z
innings.
Brooklyn beat Philadelphia, liz.
The Phillies hit two home runs and
nine doubles. But six pitchers
couldn't stem the Dodgers attack.
The American league race tight
ened when the Boston Red SoX de-
feated the New York Yankees, 2-1,
and the Chicago White SoX out
slugged the Detroit Tigers, 9-8. The
Yanks' lead over the White SoX Is
now only two games.
Scoring nine runs in the seventh
and eighth innings, Washington
came from behind to defeat the
Philadelphia Athletics, l1-6. Bob

leader, hit No. ID.

NEW HONORS

MILWAUKEE, June q. UP) .-
Jesse Owens, Ohio States great
track athlete, left today for Cali
fornia in search of new triumphs
after proving his supremacy over
middlewestern competition for the
second time in two weeks.
The world-record breaking Negro
led Ohio State TO victory in the
Central intercollegiate track and
field meet at Marquette stadium
last night.
Owens scored Is of Ohio's 81
points. Repeating his performance
in the Big Ten meet, he won the
100 and 220 yard dashes and the
broad jump.
Owens failed to equal either the
meet or world records in the DASH
es, but he did beat the established
world mark in the broad jump
when he leaped 26 feet 212 inches,
bettering by q of an inch the
official world mark held by Chu-
hei Nambu of Japan. Owens jump
was six inches less than his Big
Ten mark.
Second honors in the totals went
to Wisconsin, which scored 29A
points. Indiana, the defending
champion, was third.
The Ohio State team left this
morning for Los Angeles, where
they will compete against Southern
California in a dual meet June Is
and then go to Berkeley for the

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press


Underdog teams Knocked the two
fastest travelling teams in the Pa
cific Coast league off their stride
yesterday and made the race a wee
bit tighter today.
San Francisco Seals, winners of
eight of their last 10 games, came
cropper at the hands of the
humbled Oaks, the team which had
taken six Wallopings in seven starts
at Los Angeles. And the Angels
themselves, beaten only five times
in three weeks, stumbled before the
loVly Sacramento Senators, who in
the last week could win only once
from the Seals.
AS a result Los Angeles lead was
pared to four and one-half games
and Hollywood, by beating Portland,
moved to within one-half game of
the third place Seals.
Lou Koupal, veteran of many
scores of pitching battles, was the
Sacramento hero who placed the
Senators on the winning road. The
old-timer gave the Angels only
three hits for 5-l win.
Oakland came to life in the late
innings against the Seals to score
an LIS victory.
Lefty Hebert boosted the Holly
wood Shieks to striking distance of
the Seals by a 6-3 victory against
Chalmer Cisselrs Portland Beav-
erS.
Seattle turned loose the heaviest
hitting of the week, if not of the
season, in clubbing three Mission
hurlers for an 1873 win. The IN
dians put together % hits in the
debacle.
