COFFEY IS NEAR
LEAGUE TITLE

Coffey Screen diamonders are
near the Industrial League cham
pionship. but far.
In short, a battle faces the lead
ers, their chief opponents being
the National Savings and O'Don-
nell's mines.
They meet the ODonnell's to-
morrow on the North Ellipse at S
p. m. and the National Savings
Thursday on the East Ellipse, 5
p. m.
These two games are unplayed
games Of the second-half schedule.
They are necessary, however, be-
cause of Coffey's slim hold on
first place.
Coffey needs only one victory
to clinch the second half. If it
wins either one of tomorrow or
Thursdays clashes, it will gain
the right to meet O'DonnelTS, first
half champs, for the league title.
This will be decided in a series of
games, starting next Tuesday.

MRS. ROBINSON
SEEDED NO. ONE.
IN TOURNAMENT
BY HARRY COSTELLO

sixteen women tennis STARS, 10
Of them local players, today start
play in the annual Army-Nsvy
Country Club Invitational.
Mrs. Margaret Robinson, de-
feated several times this season in
local tournaments, is seeded No. /
in the tournament, ahead of Sara
Moore, Dorette Miller and Marg-
aret Sullivan Of Pittsburgh. Miss
Sullivan Is the sole out-of-towner
contesting in the event.
Officials Of the tourney expect
the final round to be played on
Friday.
OUTSTANDING MATCHES
Three matches scheduled for to-
day appear outstanding. The first
brings together Dorette Miller,
finaliSt in the incompleted
Women's League tournament, and
Mary Ryan. former Government
champion. In their most recent
match, in the Women's League
tournament at Columbia Country
Club, Mrs. Miller won over Miss
Ryan to win the right to play
Sara Moore in the final, scheduled
to be played yesterday, but post
poned because Of rain.
The second involves Mrs. Robin
son and Clarissa Mitchell. veteran
player. who is always dangerous
in tournament play.
The third, and probably the
most interesting Of today's
matches, brings Hazel Jimmy"
Bishop. up-and-coming youngster,
against Charlotte Decker, District
girls champion.
In q manner of speaking, the
Army-Navy invitational really is
q replay of the Women's League
tournament, albeit Miss Sullivan
may change the complexion of
matters if she plays to her best
form.
GOVERNMENT PLAY
The tournament should furnish
an answer to the question. "Is
Mrs. Robinson the No. player
Of the DISTRICT"
A doubles tournament, in con.
junction with the singles play,
will be staged If enough entries
are received. If a doubles tour
ney Is arranged, it will start on
Thursday.
Play in the Government tourna-
ment will be resumed today after
a forced postporement yesterday.
The top match Of the day, &C
cording to officials of the tourney,
involves Tony Latona, seeded
No. /, and Harry March, recent
winner over David Strand John
sen. This one is set to start at
s p. m.
On the face Of it, the match
appears a bit one-Sided. as Latona,
rated close to the top in D. c.
tennis, as a matter of record, is
much the better player. March
has improved steadily, but seems
far short in form to that which
always marks Latona's tourna-
ment play.
Another interesting match Of
today involves Ray Stocklinski and
Erwin Niemeyer, with the former
favored to clash with Charlie Hea-
cock, former Missouri Valley cham
pion, in the semifinal, for the right
to meet the winner of the Latona-
March match in the final.
It is expected the final match
Of the current tourney will be
played tomorrow.
Officials of the tournament TO-
day announced that the depart
ment trophy, emblematic of the
team championship, has been won
by the District Government team,
with an accumulation of 1917
points. The Treasury Department
team held the trophy since last
year.
The team scores announced by
tournament officials:
District Government, 1914;
Treasury, 934; Farm Credit. 512;
Federal Trade Commission, 5A,
and Patent Office, AZ.

There is a suspicion of a presiden-

Democracy as the tail to the Progress

Barley evidently resents it.
He would. The Kentuckian is mild

Bailey and George. Still, essentially
he is an old-time Democrats party

There are other Democrats like
Barkley-such Democrats as Senators
Harrison and Logan and the late Sen
ator Robinson, who have fought for
New Deal policies that they did not
believe in, because they were sponsor

But ask them to support same as

His fleet was numerically inferior

this strategy was what won. The
