CHINESE CRISIS
FLARES ANEW
BY JOHN GoETTE

PEIPING, July 10 GNS0.
The Sino-Japanese crisis, appar-
emily settled yesterday, flared up
suddenly again today as renewed
firing, lasting half an hour, rocked
the Wang Ping area near here
this afternoon.
Shortly before the firing oc-
Cured, intense alarm was caused
by fresh reports that Japanese
troops were returning to the
Wang Ping area. Six hundred
Japanese troops, accompanied by
four tanks and 81 field guns, re-
portedly left Fengtai for the
South.
Officials here viewed the Japa-
nese concentration at Wang Ping
so seriously that the Peiping gates
were closed and reinforced by
guards. Railroad traffic was SuS-
pended.
Official Chinese dispatches said
there were heavy Japanese troop
concentrations along the Great
Wall of China and that Japanese
continental army garriSonS at
nine passes were being strongly
reinforced. Reports also said ten
trainloads of Japanese troops had
left Mukden, Manchukuo, for
Tientsin and that three already
had crossed the frontier at Shan
haikWan.

Two Deaths Here
The heat was blamed for two

A short time later Mary Louise
Kline, II, of 1914 K st. N. W.,

PRESIDENT

An expression Of gratitude and
appreciation for his stand against
6ismisSals and salary cuts in con

Government expenditures by 10
per cent today was in the hands
of President Roosevelt from the
American Federation of Govern
r1ent Employees.
Charles I. Stengle, president of
the organization. wired the White
House as follows:
Permit me to extend to you
on behalf of the members of the
A. F. G. E. our sincere gratitude
and appreciation of the stand
you have taken that proposed
budget savings are not to be
made at the cost of salary cuts,
furlOughS and dismisSals.
"ThiS splendid humanitarian
attitude is not only indicative of
your sympathy with the work
ing man and woman of this
country. but reveals sound Geo.
nOmic and social insight. We
congratulate and thank you.
"This federation favOrs the
most economic and efficient
operation Of the Government
service, and, because we believe
that economy and efficiency de-
pend largely on the morale of
employees, we have long contend
ed that savings can be made in
many other ways than by re-
ducing personnel or cutting pay,
which have proved by experience
tn be destructive to morale"
Stengle did not comment on the
Presidents statement against col
lective bargaining by Federal EN-.

Postponement of congressional
action on the Administrators
wages and hours bill until next
year was advocated today by Rep
resentative Mary T. Norton, new
chairman of the labor committee
which is handling the legislation
in the House. She said:
"ThiS bill is q very serious
matter to consider. 1t is one Of
the most important pieces Of

greSS.
There is great difference Of
opinion as to what it should con-
tain. With members talking
daily about adjournment and
with the court debate going on
in the Senate, Congress Is in no
mood to give the bill the careful
consideration it deserves and
should have.

consideration of the bill should

During his three years in Holly
wood, Montague has become the
close friend of many of the great
of the film capital and legend
after legend has been built up
about his golfing featS.
Friend Of Crosby
Perhaps his best friend is Bing
Crosby, the singer. whom Monta-
que beat at golf, playing with a
shovel, a rake, and a hoe instead
of clubs.
Montague gave his dislike for
publicity as reason for not enter
ing tournaments and for not
wanting his picture taken.
The famous people of FINLAND
have talked more about Montague
than any of the stars.
He has become a legend and the
stories about him, most of them
apparently well founded, have
been the chief topic of converse
ton at movieland cocktail and
dinner parties.
Beat Bobby Jones' Drive
Here is what they say about
him:
One Of his friends Dragged
that Monty" could drive a golf
ball farther than Bobby Jones.
A bet was made and Jones best
distance was ascertained. Mon
ty" stepped up to the tee and
drove SO yards farther.
A couple of months ago
Monty" remarked that he could
knock a ball three-quarters of a
mile in five shots. and, being
challenged, made good his boast
with 100 yards to spare.
At Palm Springs last winter
the word went around that a
terrific golfer was burning up
the course. A crowd gathered
and for four days followed
''Monty"-four days in which he
lowered the course record each
day, winding up with a 81.
AIawys in Funds
The mention of going on a
"party" with Montague causes
many q sad head wagging in
Hollywood. They say he can
hoist Scotch until the cows come
home, and has often stayed up
five days and night just to enter
tain his pals.
He has disappeared from time
to time with a laughing remark
that he had to Ego up to the
mine" to replenish his funds,
which nobody ever noticed he
needed-he Always had plenty of
money. He would say, "I'll see
you when I get back from the
desert" and disappear, to be seen
again in a week or so with pockets
bullying with lucre.
He bets on anything at any
time, particularly his golf, and

POOR LIGHTs AT GAME

Not so many football seasons ago, a
Montana State college team journeyed
to Spokane to play Gonzaga in a night
game.
It was foggy night. with the flood
lights not doing their best in an tllumi-
nation way. Visibility on the field and
stands was sub-normal. 1t was like
playing in candlelight.
The Bobcats won the toss, electing
to kickoff. Max Krause, Gonzaga full
back, now with the New York Giant
pro team, raced to q touchdown after
he picked the ball off the ground in
the end zone. 1t was case of Button,
button, who has the button"
Chance Tackle Ruined Both
Gonzaga then kicked off. Fred Keen
an, Bobcat back, got the ball and set
off on his long journey TO match the
run and touchdown Of KrauSe. Fred
had easy sailing tearing off yardage
until he hit the 10-yard line, where
he was downed by krause. MAX had
already tackled one Bobcat. Observing
that the first tackled Bobcat did not
have the ball, he was intent to keep on
tackling. He saw someone running
along the sideline.
Krause hotfooted after the runner,
making a grand tackle. Both men went
down, and stayed down. Coaches and
trainers rushed onto the 1ielu TO ad-
minister first aid. Krause was able to
get up. keenan,, the tackled Bobcat,
had to be carried from the field. He
was through for the day.
No Lights, No Touchdown
Not for 10 minutes was Keenan, able
to come out Of his coma. When he did
stir and open his eyes, he saw Coach |
Schubert Dyche working over him.
Still somewhat groggy from the hard
tackle, Keenan, alphabetically told his |
coach something, then slipped back to
another fadeout.
Coach, If the lights hadn't gone out !
entirely, I would have made touch

FOUGHT 81 ROUNDS FOR $50

FOUGHT "a ROUNDS FOR $50
There may be easier ways to carr
$50 than to stand up for 54 rounds Of
fighting, but in 1888, Jasper Sorrenson
and E. Grenier were satisfied to pocket
30 bucks, when they exchanged punches
at the Butte gymnasium. Because Gren-
Ter was unable to get up in the 54th
round after being knocked down with
q right to the neck, the referee raised
the hand of Sorrenson.
According to a newspaper report OF
the bout, an effort was made to sell
pools on the result, but it was mo 60"
The fight was to be for a $50 side
bet, but up to the time Of the fight
SorTenson couldn't find any hacker
with that much money. There were al
most 400 people in the gym who had
paid 81 each to see the bout, so the
management agreed to pay both fight
ers the same amount of money, $50.
Grenier weighed 100 pounds and Sor-
renson tipped the scales at 165.
The report of the fight in the Miner
Of Dec. y, 1888, is as follows:

men we're game to the backbone. There

The time consumed was l hour 20

Jasper Sorrenson gained the first,
second, fourth, forty-third, forty-fifth,
fifty-third, and forty-fourth rounds, all
the rest being in favor of Grenier. From
the fifteenth round up to the fiftieth,
the bout appeared to be Grenier's, but
Jasper came back strong from that
point In fact, Sorrenson was as fresh
as a daisy In the last four rounds. The
Frenchman fell like a log in the last
round. He was knocked fairly out.
There was wild yell of satisfaction
