CHINESE MASS
TO QUELL
REVOLT

SHANGHAI, June 3 Q.N.S).
Two hundred thousand South
China troops and militia from
Kwsngtung and Kwangsi Prov
inceS pushed speedily towards re-
bellious Fukien today to suppress
an allegedly Japanese-inspi: d
autonomy coup there.
Squadrons Of scout planes and
bombers raced over the troop col
umns' heads from Manning, in
South Kwangsi, to Kweilin, to the
northeast, to establish air head
quarters there.
News Of the troop and aerial
movements was carried in Japa-
nese news agency dispatches from
Canton, while the japanese are
still insisting that South China is
revolving against North China be-
cause the latter refused to declare
an ak China war on Japan.
Chinese authorities arge
Japan Is fostering the civil war
rumors, as well as supplying arms
to the Fukien Province rebels.
The crisis came to q head after
South China authorities at Can
ton autographed the Marking gov
ernment urging immediate declara-
ton Of war against Japan.
At the same time q Japanese
news agency circulated a report
that the Cantonese had PRO
claimed war" against Marking and
that troops Of the southern gov
ernment already were marching
northward.
This was interpreted as indicat-
ing that If nationalist leaders hedge
on the appeal for war against
Japan. they will have to face civil
warfare waged by the Cantonese.
At Canton q spokesman for the
southern government told Interna-
tional News Service:
"The situation between Nan
king and the southwest Is ex.
tremeIy tense. There Is no fight
ing yet. That Is all I can say"
Japanese sources reported that
the armies Of Kwangtung and
Kwangsi provinces, controlled by
Canton, had been ordered fully
modified.

Title Bout Gate
Best in D. {.
History

The gate of the title bout be-
tween Petey Sarron and Freddie
Miller proved to be the best for
a boxing show in the District Of
Columbia during the fiscal year,
the Boxing Commission has an
nounceu.
Books just closed reveal the
Tony nzoneri- frankie Kick
clash to be the next best. The re-
ceipts for the Sarron-Miller show
were $29,901.30. The gate for the
Canzeroni-Klick card was $24,502.
Total gate receipts for the fiscal
year, including IS shows,
amounted to $152,599.94. This Is
quite a jump over the first years
business which amounted to $107,-
625.42.
The above mentioned figures
are only part of the many others
recorded by the Commission in
the annual report. But it tells the
interesting story of boxing's rise
in the Capital in the matter Of
enthusiasm, finances, better shows
and the handling of these shows.

not the batting orders particular
ly, but the personnel of the all
star clubs.
There was some dissatisfaction
with this original plan, and it has
been departed from somewhat in
the intervening years, but the
baseball fathers have decided to
return this game to the fans and
let them nominate the players,
promising to abide by the public
nomination up to Is players in
each league, allowing the two
leagues to select five each on their
account.
So, starting today, and until
midnight June 10, readers Of The
Washington Times are invited to
nominate both American and Ma
tional League stars to play in this
game. If you have one or more
favorites among the big league
players, here's your chance to
