@oNTRARY to the established
4 opinion that weather condi-
tions must be ideal before
~ hardheads will bite, a group
of six local anglers went to Scotland
Beach and caught over 100 while
the wind was blowing rather hard
and the thermometer registered so
degrees. In spite of the rough water
and the comparatively low tempera-
ture, the catch was made in less than
three hours. The majority of the
fish were landed using bottom hooks
and shrimps and peeler crabs.
Scotland Beach and nearby Point
Lookout offer fine fishing all during
the Summer. Catches made there
include hardheads, gray sea trout
spots, bluefish and even small sharks.
And the accommodations there are
not expensive.
Prices also are reasonable at Solo
mons Island. One advantage Solo,
mons has over many other places on
Chesapeake Bay is that it is near
most Of the good fishing grounds.
Boatmen there think nothing of run

" " up today and tomorrow the
amateur golf clan around

ship OF the year-the Middle Atlantic

Baltimore starting June II.
This affair, the only major event
carrying a title and open to golfers
from Maryland. Virginia and the Dis

the Five Farms course of Baltimore
County Club, where last week Volney
G. Burnett. the golfing fireman from
Indian Spring, won the invitation

1t Is the same course on which the
1882 amateur championship was held
and Is generally ranked as one of

the womens District championship
starting Monday at Congressional
When entries closed last night more
than 80 women had entered the tour
ney, one of the largest lists ever en-
rolled in the chase for the title now
held by Winifred Faunce of Manor.
Most Of them were marveling at the
"a scored yesterday by Helen Dett-
weller. the tall youngster from Con.
gressional, and wondering just how
hot Helen's clubs will be next week.
Any such exhibition of golf as Heles
put on yesterday at Beaver Dam, where
she cracked the course record by IL
shots, will convert the District title
tourney into breeze for the Dett-
weller lass. But Helen is the sort of
golfer who blows hot and cold. Her
fine rounds. such as she had yeSter-
day, are unbeatable by any feminine
player and on her cold days a dozen
women around Washington could beat
her. No one, however, could have
stayed along with the "a she shot
yesterday in winning the play-off of
a tie for the gross award in The Eve
ming Star Cup tourney. Mrs. Walper,
with whom she tied, took 90 and was
beaten by just 18 strokes by the finest
round of golf ever shot by a local
woman.
When you consider that women's
par for the 6.159-yard Beaver Dam
course is 70 and that mems par is 70.
you can see what a fine scoring stunt
Helen put on. And when you con-
slider that she took a dismal 7 at the
sixteenth-a hole that should be a
pushover for a girl with her lengthy
wooden club shots-the true merit of
that "a can be appreciated. Never be-
fore has a woman broken rs on a
Washington course, and Beaver Dam
never has had the reputation Of be-
ing set-up for any one. Six brides
and an eagle few from the blazing
clubs of the Congressional girl. Here
is the way she scored it:

Will Seek Slab Strength.


GO CONVINCED is the personnel of
~ the Washington club that a
double-header triumph over the
Yankees is essential to winning year
that Owner Clark Griffith, who
seldom travels with his hirelings. was
among the first to board the train
IN Union Station last night.
Il ran Miller Higgins off the coach
ing lines in "a and '25," declared
the Old Fox. "and in 1888 helped
to root the team home in a double
header with the Yankees. I can't
miss this opportunity to play hunch.
If We can whip New York today this
Washington team must be put down
ss a pennant contender.
I'm just really awakening to the
possibilities of the club. Outside of
a little edge in pitching here and
there I'm convinced that no team in
the league has anything on the Wash
ington team and if We can come up
with pair of wins today I'm going
out and do my best to add the pitch
ing we need before the June IS dead
line
So far this season victory has
eluded the Griffs in New York. They
have played three games in the
Yankee Stadium and lost each, but
with Earl Whitehill and Buck Newsom
groomed for the pitching Manager
Bucky Harris feels that his club Is
ready to do something about evening
the count.
Whitehill always has regarded the
Yankee Stadium as his favorite play
ing grounds and he will ride into
todays twin bill on the crest of three
consecutive victories. Newsom, who
has been seeking his sixth victory
of the campaign since May Is, is
long overdue to crash through and
today may be the day.
Home Stand Rich in Promise.
THE current jsunt of the Nationals
will be their last bit of road
campaigning until June Is. I'm
mediately after today's Memorial day
program against the Yankees the
club will embark for Philadelphia,
where they will play a one-day stand
tomorrow. After this tilt they'll head
home to open their second lengthy
home stand next Tuesday.
If the Capital entry can emerge
from their week end battling with
flying colors it might well be rated
IN q good position to do some climb
ing. Their first guests at Griffith
Stadium next week will be the Browns,
who so far this year haven't given
the Nationals any trouble. Detroit's
Tigers will follow the Browns into
Washington and, in turn, will be
followed by the Indians and White
Sox
And right now, with whitehill and
De Shong winning consistently and
Newsom due to hit his stride at any
time, the Griffs seem to stack I'D
with any Of the Western clubs.

Out Question Marks.
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

THREE more-or-less question
marks of the major league
pitching fraternity, particularly
Lefty AL Smith of those sur
prising New York Giants. are laughing
at lot Of their more established
brothers these days
Smith ranks at the head of the trio
because Of the caliber Of his latest con-
quest-a two-hit 1910 triumph over the
Boston Bees yesterday. But not far
behind are Indian Chief" Fuel Moore
of the lowly Phillies, and Clarence
Phillips, the Tigers right-hand rookie
from Texas, both of whom are unpin-
ming the question mark from them
selves and wrapping it around the
necks of their opponents.
Not highly regarded in preseason
gossip, their records show they are
doing quite all right. Smith has five
wins against two losses. Moore has
two victories and one setback, and
Phillips is undefeated with two
triumphs.

Trio Outpitches Eight.

Trio OutpitcheS Eight
THEY faced total of eight pitchers,
most of them with pretty fair
regulations, in yesterdays battles. and
pinned back the ears Of each and every
one, Moore taking the Brooklyn
Dodgers in stride. 10 to 2, and Phillips
outlasting the Chicago White Sox for
10 innings to win 4 to 3.
Although these three turned in the
standout jobs, the pitchers in most of
yesterdays curtailed major league pro-
gram had the better of it. Curt Davis,
now with the Chicago Cubs, had the
Cincinnati Reds helpless, while his
mates took advantage of Gene Schott s
wildness to win 81 and boost them
selves into third place in the National
League.
Dizzy Dean, rushed in for relief after
the Pirates had pounded two other
Cardinal pitchers in free-scoring
slugfest. stopped the Bucs in the last
two innings and drove in the winning
runs with an eighth-inning double for
a 81 victory. his eighth of the season.
Smith, who has turned out sound
investment for Manager Bill Terry's
faith in him over the last two years,
stacked up against Ray Benge at the
start of yesterdays Giants game, but
Ray lasted only two innings and was
followed by three other Boston mates
before the final out was called.
Smith Near No Hitter.
MEANTIME. Lefty Al moved the
Bostons down In order for 723
innings. Not man reached first. and
he appeared to have the no-hitter
sewed up until two singles in the
games dying moments slammed the
hall of fame's door in his face
Phillips took on Babe Phelps of
Jimmy Dykes Chicago staff, and, ex-
cept for bad third inning, outpitched
the Windy City thrower.
Goose Goslin's three-run homer in
the fifth and Marvin Owens tenth
inning single accounted for all the
Detroit runs in the victory which push
ed the Tigers up into third place, in
front of the idle Cleveland Indians.
In pitching the Phillies to their tri-
umph over the Dodgers, Chief" Moore
had a lot Of help from Chuck Klein.
who served notice on other National
League pitchers that he has again
found the range at Baker Bowl. He
batted in five runs with a homer,
double and single. while Moore was
letting the Dodgers down with half
dozen hits.

MADRID, Sept. IA O.N.SO.-An
offer of safe conduct for the 400
women and children beSieged
with their insurgent husbands and
fathers in the ancient Alcazar at
Toledo was tentatively rejected to-
day by the officers in command of
the fortress.
An official Madrid communique
said the officers were openly di-

holding a new conference today
with a heated discussion going on.
Hope for Rescue
The offer to evacuate the women
and children from the Alcazar was
made by the Chilean ambassador
Aurellio Nunez Inorganic, as dean
of the diplomatic corps. He plans
a second trip to Toledo.
Premier Francisco Cabellero
agreed to Ambassador Morgano's
mediation, and the emiSSary has
now succeeded in persuading the
Toledo government to permit
evacuation of the women, child
rem and old men.
Should the defenders of the
Alcazar consent, the non-com-
batants will be quartered in con-
vents under the Chilean flag,
and protected and provided for
by the Spanish government.

PLOT STORY.
PAID SCANT
ATTENTION
Journalist Receives
Sentence Calmly;
Sticks to Tale
By CHARLES A. SMITH


LONDON, Sept. l G.N.SO
With his dramatic story of being
hired for $3.50 by an unnamed for
eign power to assassinate King
Edward openly ridiculed by the
prosecution, George Andrew Nc
Mahon, erstwhile radical journal
list, today was found guilty on a
technical charge of producing a
pistol with intent to alarm King
Edward VIII.
Mcmahon Immediately was SEN
fenced to IL months imprison-
nlent at hard labor. A jury re-
turned the guilty verdict after de-
batting only 10 minutes.
Calm at Verdict
The defendant heard the SEN
tence pronounced without visible
emotion. He turned away quickly
and was taken downstairs to q
cell.
The judge in passing sentence
said:
II am quite satisfied you
never at the moment had any
intention of harming the King.
If / thought you had, 1 would
be bound to take the most
severe measures possible"
The judge said he had con-
cluded Mcmahon was a misguided
person who thought he could call
attention to his own grievances
by notoriety.
Mcmahon was seized on Consti-
tuition Hill on July Is last with a
loaded pistol in his hand.
Tells of Plot
In defense, he told the court
he had been employed to shoot
the king and accepted the fee
for such deed, but only with
the object of unmasking the plot
and saving the Kings life. He
threw the pistol into the street,
he said, because he did not wish
to harm the monarch.
The judge told the jury the
only question at hand was
whether Mcmahon actually pro-
duced the revolver with intent
to alarm the King.
Mcmahon testified he first was
employed by the foreign power to
do minor spying of which he kept
the war office fully informed and
for which he received varying
sums. He said:
Finally, they suggested kill
ing the king, saying this would
benefit England as the empire
could then split up and certain
parts be handed over to the
colonies.
"They said they were going to
make a sudden coup somewhere
else and the kings assassination
would throw Britain into tur-
mol, preventing this country
from interfering. I agreed so L
could keep the British govern
ment informed of the plot"
In connection with McMahon's
story, it was recalled the Spanish
civil war broke out on July 10,
two days after the assassination
attempt.

He speaks of the danger this

"The gravity of the situation
