Defeat Japan
Today

LAKESIDE COURTS, SAN
FRANCISCO, May with two
victories to their credit, the Ameri-
can Davis Cup players went into
the second day of the zone
matches here today topheavy
favorites to defeat Japan.
The doubles combination of
Donald Bulge and Gene Mako
appeared too strong for Jiro
Yamagishi and Fumitero Nakano.
It was the only Davis Cup event
scheduled for the day and prob
ably will decide the series.
Why Yamagishi, Japan's No. !
ranking player, suddenly an
nounced that Nakano, No. S rank
ing player, would play in the
doubles instead of Hideo Nish-
imura, No. 2 man, was something
he would not explain.
The startling defeat of Yama-
gishi by frankie Parker, the boy
from New Jersey, left no doubt
in the minds of fans as to the
| outcome OF GIle SeEleS'
Yamagishi was favored to de-
feat Parker but the East Coast
youth outSteadied the Nippon star
in a drawnout affair, 81, 2-6,
S-6, 60.
Should the American team lose
in the doubles today, Parker will
meet Nakano and Bulge will meet
Yamagishi in another duo Of sim
giles tomorrow.
Bulge had no trouble trimming

fling, the Yankee hurler who re-
mains the only major league hold
out today was automatically sus-
pended in accord with baseball law.
Convinced, he said, that he can't
win his salary battle with owner
Jacob Rupert, Red would like to
be traded. The Chicago White
Sox or Tom Yawkey's Red Sox
would suit him perfectly. Ruffing
explained, but a berth with the
Browns or Athletics also would be
satisfactory. The one-time hurl-
ling star of the Yankees is anxious
to get going. He said:
81 want to play ball. / don't
mind laying off now, but once
that hot weather sets in I'll
have to play. But not for the
Yankees unless they agree to my
terms. Let them trade me. A
lot of clubs will pay the salary
they are refusing"
Red at one time this spring was
within $1,000 of signing with Rup-
pert. But the Yanks have with
drawn the $4,000 offer and now
say that he must take $4,000 or
nothing at all. Ruffing says the
nothing is just as acceptable as the
$4,000, or more so.
Ruffing said he has had no COM
munication from the Yanks since
Joe Mccarthy called him up two
weeks before the club went into
spring training.
The big highlander went on the
suspended list, which automatic
ally applies to any player not
signed by April 80. He can be
taken off the list in "a hours.

men have recently found them
selves, it is necessary to explore
many angles. So if you will bear
with me, we'll go together into a
consultation about the matter.

ing. A lot of organs which should
be functionings, for the most part,
have not been doing so, and 1t
hasn't been possible to find the
remedy instanter.
The siege, to say the least, has
been prolonged, too much so for
the peace of mind of all concerned.
Specifically, neither our pitchers
nor hitters have been clicking. Any
ball club that intends to go places
should have both pitching and
hitting.
Sometimes when a team is get
ting plenty of one, the other ele-
ment can be negligible momen-
tarily. A good hitting club, for ex-
ample, can often cover up a multi
tude of pitching sins.
Both Are A. w. o. L.
But in WaShington's case, both
factors essential for a winning ball
team have been what we soldiers
used to call a.w.o.l. The gent that
the ball club thought would make
it a clouting team, Al Simmons,
has proved a late starter, albeit
there is no fault to find with his
fielding.
They used to say that as Babe
Ruth went, so went the Yankees.

The idea of a sentimental message conveyed by the stones of a betrothal ring especially appealed to the victorians. In 1862. when the prince of Wales rendered his engage ment ring to Princess Alexandra of Denmark, 1t was set with stones whose initial letters spelled "Bertie," the princes pet name. There was no gem beginning with the letter I, but the court Jewellers substituted the jacinth

Manners
of the
Moment

r UssIAN BANK is the one we've
fought over most. But for some
people the big family feud centers
around double Garfield or Finch
But the idea is the same There is
always more than one point of view
about the rules Even after play
ing double Garfield together for 25
years couple will still disagree about
whether to turn cards UP one at
time or three at a time.
Now. of course. it may be that life
wouldn't be any fun for you without
these periodic dlsagreements about
the rules of the game And if that's
the case We want to clear our skirts
right now. Go ahead and fight for
the rest of your lives. You might as
well enjoy something
But If you get tired of it all we'd
like to suggest that you take turns
about playing each others rules. We
certainly wouldn't want either of YOU
to give in. That would be hard on
somebody's ego. (And We must pre-

Diferentiate Between Infatuation and
Love Before Marrying.

a fine moral character and good job
on which your happiness Will depend
just as much as on whether he is q
philanderer or a ne'er-do-weu. Such
as Is he good natured, or has he a
bad temper? Does he like to do the
things you like to do? Is he critical
of your friends? Is he an interesting
companion, or does he bore you? Have
you anything to talk about after you
quit billing and cooling? Check up on
these on the safe side of the altar. It
will save you trip later to Reno.
You do not know whether or not you
are in love. That is easy to determine
If you have any doubts on the subject.
you are not. When a girl is really in
love, it breaks out on her like the
measles, and she knows she has it. So
does every one else. j
Furthermore, girl really in love
can't see but one man. All the balance
are just shadows that she doesn't
bother to glance at. Uninteresting
creatures that she wonders she ever
looked at. And she doesn't dread her
wedding day. 1t can't be hurried up
too quickly for her.
And take my advice on this point ::
Don't get married until you have had
your playtime and until you have had
your fill OF love-making and flirting
around and dancing and parties and
gadding and are ready to settle down.
Most of the discontented, fretful wives
who consider making home chore
and babies brats, and most of the wives
who go haywire at 40 and get them
selves into scandals are girls who mar
ried before they had had their fling
and their fill of romance.
nEAR MISS DIX: Is it possible in
this day and age for a girl to
travel alone? I mean real globe-trot-
ting. I am starved for romance, the
kind you read about in travel books
For years I have saved and thought of
nothing else. But what can girl with
limited means do about it? DOT.
Answer: If girl has common sense
| and dignity, she can travel to the ends
of the earth alone with safety Nova
days what we used to call third class
is cheap and comfortable, and it
doesn't require much money to 60
from place to place.
If you can afford it, the best way for
a girl travelling alone is to join some
tour. In that way she has companion
ship and protection.
If you have limited means and a
real thirst for travel, the best thing to
do is to learn some trade by which you
can make your way as you 60. and that
will enable you to stay long enough in
places to really see them. I have
known a number of trained nurses
beauticians and stenographers who
have Travelled the world around.
