mob outside of the house. He was

Shot Attempting Rescue
Ray Mundy, Of Barboursville,
Va, was wounded in the left arm
and side as he was attempting to
rescue the two wounded State
troopers, who had been held under
the house by the Negroes gunfire

Thrown bundles Of burning, oil

the bodies of the two Negroes from

CLIMB ELUDES
POLICEMAN

Policeman S. F. Smith-better
known as "Cannonball'' Smith
figures it's easy to chase a cul.
prit on level ground, but he isn't
so sure about one who can climb
four-story buildings by means Of
a rainpipe.
Early today, Smith saw q
colored man leave a cab and ap-
proach a meat market at 821
Eleventh st. N. w. Spotting the
officer, the man ran, and at the
same moment Smith noticed
someone inside the establishment.
It proved to be a second colored
man who had piled up much
merchandise, apparently to pass
out to the other. The second man
escaped to the roof of the two
story structure, fell off, and ap.
parently was unhurt, because he
fled swiftly with Smith in pur.
suit.
The chase led into a blind alley
in the rear Of 1915 G st. N. W., a
fur stabliShment. Smith fired
two shots. His quarry, now cor.
nered, scurried up the fur shop to
its roof by means of a rainpipe.
and evidently made his way down
the front Of the store by similar
route. ...'
Some glass and blood were
found in front Of the establish

jury until forced to the open by
the fire.
Officials Of Gordonsville said
today that the Negro population
Of the vicinity held no resentment
against the white folks" over
what had happened, and ex'
pressed belief that even the Ne
groes would have helped to cap
ture the two crazed gunnerS but
for fear of being wounded.
Wills crazed mind for collection
Of firearms followed the murder
Of his brother several years ago,
according to local persons who
knew the Negro.
Shortly after his brother was
murdered several years ago, the
,townSmen said, Willis began to col.
lect all the guns and pistols he
could "lay his hands on" and was
believed to have had a half dozen
shotguns, rifles and pistols at the
time the officers attempted to rout
them from their house last night.
Acquaintance Of the gun-crazed
man said that he had been acting
queer" since his brother was MUIR
dered and both he and his sister
were feared by other Negroes Of the
neighborhood.
Feared BY NeighbOrs
An armored truck from the
Quantico Marine Base was said to
have been summoned to assist the
local police, but failed to arrive.
Officials at the Marine Base said
that they had not received the
call.
The more than 1000 persons

line until the house was finally
fired and assurance had passed
through the crowd that both Of
the colored persons had been shot
down.
Lights Of several fire trucks
were focused on the house from
advantageous points.
When the colored man. after
being trapped by the flames,
rushed to the front door, scores
of bullets rained on his body from
guns of the armed poSSemen.
Hours after the burning house
had collapsed, curious persons
from so miles around stood around

stood around and watched the
burning embers.
While no definite check had
been made early today as to how
much ammunition the two colored
persons had in the house, mer-
chants Of Gordonsville said the
crazed man had purchased bullets
and shells every week for the last
several years.

GORDONSVILLE, Va, May Is.
Shortly after noon yesterday. my
self, Sheriff w. B. Young Of
Orange county, Police Sergeant
and Deputy Sheriff j. r. Yeager
and State trooper H. L. Delany
were called to investigate a Negro
with gun near the cemetery in
Gordonsville, who had threatened
to shoot Mrs. George linn.
We went to the home Of William
Wills, IS, colored, who lived in a
two-story frame house adjacent to
the cemetery, armed with a war
rant issued by T. w. Ross, police
Justice of Gordonsville, intending
to take the man back to town for
a sanity hearing. He had been
acting "queer" for some time.
When we arrived at the house,
Wills and his sister, Cora, about
so years old, fled into the house
and threatened to shoot anyone
that came near.
Sergeant Yeager said:
1--WE are fixing to get some
one shot If we are not careful.
/ believe the best thing to do
is to go back to town and call
the State Police to bring some
tear gas so we can force these
two out into the OPEN"
We went back to GordonSville,
about 1880 p. m, and after OBJ
tanning the tear gas and rein
forcements, including Sergt.
Wayne Carr, Of the State Police,
went back out to the house. This
was about 3 p. m.
Killed Instantly
Advancing to the front Of the
house, after finding the front
door locked, I kicked out a panel
of the door.
AS Sheriff Young stopped and
reached through the door to I'M
lock it, Wills shot him through
the heart. He fell right there,
killed instantly.
I slid to one side and Rugged
against the wall, until myself and
the other officers could hear
Wills walking back through the
house.
Thinking he was going to the
back door, Sergeant Carr and
myself started around the side Of
the house.
BY this time Wills and his
sister had gained the second
floor and thrust rifle out an

 On Hills Complaint

Another one of those "tempests in . teapot" which bob up now and then to put plenty of pepper into those City Amateur league baseball meetings came to the fore last night at the regularr meeting of managers and oficials. Treasurer Matt Dun- phy left in a hurry with something about his resignation" floating after him as he skedaddled down the stairs, while Manager Tom Pur- cell threatened to keep the Wash- ington Hills away from Hamilton Park next Sunday if his protest of Umpire Leno Costaldo's decision in favor of the Hearts, which was changed immediately after his orig final decision on play at home plate had favored the Hills, is not acted upon soon.

'TenniSTalkS| By Ray Mcleod

The matter of selecting racket which is best suited to ones own particular requirements is no less important than the care and atten- ton exercised in purchasing Q pair of shoes 9. both must fit.
 Fancy Stuff
 Yet, there is 6 notable tendency among beginners, particularly young players, to select the most extraordinary or freakish racket in the shop. Such eccentric features as Q round handle, odd methods of stringing, or fancy bindings should be ignored. A racket pos- s essing an octagonal-shaped handle with a strong wood frame ls as good as any, and if protected from rain and dampness should last Q long time.
 1t Is always best to purchase
 just the frame, and then have
 lt strung up with Q good grade
 of sheep gut. Gut Is extreme
 ly sensitive to humidity changes
 and will contract and expand
 as the humidity rises and falls.
 For this reason the racket
 should be kept in . dry place
 when not in use, thus insur-
 ing the frame against warplng.
 Balance the Thing
 I have never accepted the theory tat Q racket should be selecetd by It's weight. Balance is more iTl- portant. The racket should feel like an extension of the arm, end 4 by swinging it back and forth one becomes conscious of the weight ir the racket-head, then it is toe heavy. The average weight fol men is between 13 and 14 ounces; for women, between l2 end 12h ounces, and for the junior player Q i2 ounce racket Is recommended
 The grip, or circumference of the handle should depend upon the size of ones hand. Tho tendency, how ever, is toward smaller grips, which permit the handle to rest firmly in the palm of the hand.

PROF. LOUIS ALEXANDER KLICK FAILS TO CLICK AGAINST P.MONTANEz
 
Puerto Rican Proves LOgi- cal Contender for Ross
 or CanzOneri

New York, June e.-(UP)-Pedro Montanez, Puerto Rican lightweight today appeared headed straight for @ title bout with champion Tony Canzoneri or Barney Ross, king of the welters.
 The little brown-skinned Mon- tanez scored his most important victory, and 18th consecutive American win, against Frankie Klick before 15,000 persons here last night.
 Klick failed to live up to his name as Q "spoiler" and was on the verge of being knocked out three times in the 10-round affair. Mon- tanez floored the Californian for counts of nine twice in the third and fourth rounds. In the seventh, however, Klick opened Q cut on Montanez's brow but the little Pu- erto Rican wiped the blood away with his gloves and continued to slug away.
 The United Press score sheet gave Montanez seven rounds; Klick two-the seventh and eighth; and the first, even. Montanez weighed 134 i-2; Klick, 133 i-2.

O., professional, who won the U. 8. open golf champion ship was far back in the ruck as the final 36-hole round of the Shawnee open began today and only sensa- tional round such as he shot at Bal- tusrol could save him from defeat.
