Chicago, March 23 - tUP)-The first annual national badminton championships will open, signih- cantiy, on April Fools day.
 Tn keeping with an old custom es- tablished by the usual proprietor of this space, I stepped out with Q champion to collect some local color on this growing sport which has swept the country after . bad start.
 Jess Willard--a thin, baldish little man only half the size of the heavy weight prize fighter of the same rame-was my foe. Jess is billed as world professional champion at 6 night club which caters to the sporting element of our town and we rigged up his court in the middle of the deserted cafe floor when the last customer had staggered home.
 He handed me Q long, narrow racquet with @ tiny head and we

began to warm up. Jess danced about like . finely trained boxer. He snapped his returns cHisply oif both sides and appeared to cover the floor without moving out of pc Sition.
 Once around that court in three minutes flat was the best I could do. Three whirls around 1t had me steaming. But 1t still looked like a sissy's game.
 If you ever played tennis, forget it." Willard advised. Instead of keeping your wrist stiff, remember to snap 1t as you hit. And protect yourself at all times"
 Willard finally took the biTd---a small round cork stuck full of goose- feathers---and prepared to serve. I pinned my eyes on Willard.
 "Go ahead and serve," I yelled.
 "Hell." Jess replied, T just did"
 Badminton is like that. Those hissing birds can fly around your head with amazing fury unless you know the answers.
 Placement is the thing ia this game" Willard grinned and slapped an easy one right at me. I reached 1t and decided to place it short on his forehand. close to the net. It came back easy and I whacked one deep to his backhand-a grievous tactical blunder.
 Wllard's backhand is the best in the business. He fired one to my forehend that I barely touched by falling forward. Another screamed down the sideline and 1B feet away.
 There was plenty of local color in that match--most of 1t black and blue.
 "This isn't such 6 tough game" Jess said. Tt all depends on your opponent. If he's good, you have to step to keep up. But two old maids can play without getting Q wind up if they're well matched"
 Willard is convinced badminton eventually will crowd out all other racquet games in popularity. It's spectacular growth in the last two years caused the formation of the American Badminton association which will stage It's first amateur tournament this season.
 Jess claims the sport was invented by & group of half.mad British army officers who believed their new toy would keep them from going batty in tho jungles of India.
 Maybe I helped them, but the es. feet is reversed along Chicago's north shore, in the east and along the west coast. The more they sweat and pound around breaking their necks chasing that bird. the better they like 1t.

 Joe Gould, manager of the ohaiil- pi0n, refused to divulge jiiMs whereabouts, but indicated that his fighter was out of reach, at least temporarily, of the law. if Braddock 6 served he must appear before Judge H.

Gould ia anxious that Jim avoid service be- cause of belief that Q restraining injunction could be obtained moro easily in the deep south.
 The only possible answer that Bradd0cle can have is that anti-Nazi organizations have threatened to boycott . schmeling title fight and that he does not believe such . bout would draw good crowd. The Gar den, Schmelnig and his manager Joe Jacobs, believe this has no bear Ing on the situation and that con- tracts for the June 3 match in tho Long Island Bowl are binding.

OLDEST SPORT?

Trapshooting is probably one of the oldest of outdoor sports. First publiflc mention of it is found in an old English publication called Sporting Magazine" published in l793. It seems to have been purely an English sport to begin with, since no records of 1t have been found elsewhere.
 First recorded mention of trap shooting in the United States goes back to 1881, in the minutes of the old Sportsmen's club of Cincinnati.

FAR EAST PkR[EY
HELD REMOTE HOPE
Or. Wei, Educator, Sees
Collapse or Victory as
Hostility Climax.

Possibility of settling hostilties In
the Far East by international con-
ferences and other outside arbitration
methods was held remote yesterday
by DR.. Francis c. M. Wei, president
of Central China College at Wuchang
and visiting professor of ethics at Yale
University.
Discussing the Sino-Japanese rela-
tions at a luncheon meeting of the
Yale Club of Washington. the educator
declined to place much faith" in the
Nine-Power Conference or the League
of Nations as peacemakers in the un-
declared war now being waged between
the two countries.
Moreover, he predicted, as IAN ordi-
nary Chinese citizen" that the war
will end "only when China is crushed
or Japan collapses internally"
Death Before Domination.
The people of China have been
taught, DR.. Wei stated. when there is
a choice between death and Japanese
domination to choose death.
In reviewing the background of the
enmity between the two nations, the
short, bespectacled professor pointed
to several reasons for the conflict ad-
vanced by proponents of the japanese
cause and offered arguments to dis
prove them.
They say they are helping us to
suppress communism" he said, but
why didn't they offer aid Is years ago
instead of waiting until that conflict
Is over?"
Regarding the excuse that the
undeclared war is being waged to sup
press the anti-Japanese feeling in
China, the speaker commented:
They've brought over their army,
navy and air force to teach us to love
them better. I can't reason that far"
Suspects Fear Complex.
He offered as possible explanation
that the japanese, under a militarist
government, are under the spell of
q fear complex"
''It can't be mere territory they are
seeking" he added, for in two years
they have taken more than 100000
square miles of our lands and still the
battle goes on"
DR.. Wei expressed doubt as to
whether this war will solve any prob
lens between the two countries.
China is willing to cooperate with
japan. he said, but if Japan wants
to dominate, China will not CO.
operate.

trimmings,

The Lions bowled over the high roll
ing Baptist "a and the lowly hlwanls
+orced the league leading Rose team
to four extra innings before the CIVIC
club was defeated 1912 in two hectic
games in softball circuit yesterday.
The Lions won their tilt by pushing
over a tally in an extra inning with
none out.
Henry Powell handled the pitching
duties for the Lions, and did the JOB
well. Although he allowed eight hits,
he kept them we'll scattered except
for the first inning when the Baptist
scored two Of their tallies. He used
a slow curve" and drop" during
most of the game. Only on very rare
occasions did he turn loose his "fog"
ball.
The Kiwanians threw a real scare
into the Rose team, knotfing the
count hall at the seventh inning, and
then fought their way through to the
eleventh before Rose succeeded IN
getting two TALES to win.
Norvei and Hamm formed the win
ming Rose battery, with Payne and
Daniels working for the Kiwanis.
Powell pitched and Register caught
for the Lions, while Stainback pitch
