Thousands of Americans spend
millions of dollars each year search
ing out the beautiful scenery of our
land. We have visited most of the
familiar places of natural beauty
in the West and Northwest of our
nation as we'll as most of Mexico
anC nowhere have we found a
greater wealth of natural scenic
grandeur than that which may be
found within radius of thirty
miles of Nogales
After crossing the Santa Cruz
river bridge on the Patagonia road
enc may take the Washington Camp
road and follow a winding course
for eighteen and one-half miles to
the summit Of washington Camp
mountain. One must crive slowly
because of the many curves but over
one Of the most scenic routes that
is to be found anyplace.
Stopping at the summit one may
gaze out over rugged hills covered
with oak intermingled with a few
pines, breathe the pure mountain
air and enjoy one of the most beau
tiful sights that man has ever been
privileged to behold. The elevation
at that point is 6200 feet and per-
feet setting for a summer camp
All within an easy half hour drive
from Nogales.
Just mile and half further and
you will reach the old historic
Washington Camp mine. Most OF
the machinery is now in ruins. The
houses for the most part are a mass
of decay and ruin, only few are
still occupied. But what a place to
spend a day Of exploration.
Five miles from Washington
Camp one will find the Heady and
Ashburn ranch and the home OF
Marshall Ashburn. The raising OF
purebred Hereford cattle is Mr..
Ashburns business, and it is a
thriving one AS hobby Mr.. Ash
burn cares for several deer in a
space that he has fenced off for
that purpose. Although the fence is
about seven feet high the ceer jump
it at will and roam in the hills but
they always come back in time for
dinner. They seem to like the food
that Mr.. Ashburn dishes out to
them better than what they lind
in the hills.
Big Cattle Ranch
Leaving the Heady and Ashburn
ranchhouse one may drive couple
of miles and arrive at the Arizona
headquarters of the Greene Cattle
Company. T. E. (Tom) Heady, the
manager has been with the Greene
Cattle Company since 1908.
The ranch comprises $4,000 acres
and is the home of the THIRD larg-
est purebred Hereford herd in the

New York, July 18. -(U.P-The
nip and tuck battle for the Ma
tional league lead between the
Chicago Cubs and the New York
Giants continued today when both
teams swept doubleheaders.
The Cubs maintained their .013
point margin by walloping Brook
lyn TO and 9-4. Van Mungo was
knocke from the Brooklyn box
with a three-run Cub assault in
the first inning of the opener. Le-
roy Parmelee weakened in the late
innings and the Dodgers rallied
to score two runs in the eighth,
but Shoun and Root combined to
halt another rally after two runs
had come over in the ninth. Home
runs by Augie Galan and Ken
O'Dea featured the Cubs 12-hit
attack. Curt Davis, making his
second start of the season, scat
tered II hits to win the nightcap.
Galan homered again in the Sec
ond game.
The Giants defeated the st.
Louis Cardinals, 6-5 and Ito. Carl
Hubbell held the Cards to nine
hits to win the opener, in which
Moore's seventh inning single sent
Chiozza across the plate with the
winning run. 1t was Hubbeil'S
sixth straight and 14th win of the
season. Hal Schumacher distribut-
ed nine safeties to shutout the
Cards in the second. The Giants
climbed on Lon Warneke for nine
runs before he was relieved in the
seventh by White. Schumacher,
Leslie and Danning clouted for
the circuit.

New York, July 18.-U.G- Who
said Gene Tunney wore high
hat?
A few dyspeptics may criticize
Tunney for his plain-spoken de-
fense of Mysterious John Manta-
que, Hollywood's arrested golfer.
But I'm sure that torrid state
ment at Stamford, Conn.,, won
thousands of friends for the re-
tired heavyweight champion.
1t must have taken the populace
by surprise, particularly that por-
Gion which follows the bruisers. 1t
was like discovering suddenly the
milk of human kindness flowing
from a cast iron cow-when gen.
Sleman Gene rushed out of his So
cial corner and started tossing
verbal leather in defense of a man
arrested on suspicion of robbery.
You see Gene Tunney, as he
is popularity understood, is the
last man in the world one would
expect to see leaping into print
with such a defense, or even ad-
mitting that he ever associated
with a robbery suspect.
The "peepul' of our United
States have regarded Mr.. Tunney
as rather "snooty" individual
ever since he was heavyweight
challenger, when he started talk
ing about Shakespeare. poetry,
music, etc. He was not popular as
champion, after dethroning that
public idol, the l1anassa Mauler.
His retirement and marriage to
the former Polly Lauder, a wealthy
social registerite, increased the
common belief that Gene indeed
had gone high hat"
Now-we find this same gentle
man Gene laundering all over
Stamford forgetting all about
his social status tossing his high
hat to the winds because the
cops are picking on friend of
his. He says certain parties in Es-
sex county are making martyr
of Mysterious Monty for publicity
purposes. He declares it will be
on outrage" if the publicity
seekers send Monty to prison for

at Jay, N. Y, seven years ago.
When you take Tunney's de-
fense of the Hollywood golfer and
analyze it, you discover that the
one big reason why Gene is doub-
ling his fists is because Montague
or Laverne Moore, as he admit
ted to the police - is such a
grand fellow" that he couldn't
possibly be criminal. And be-
cause Monty is a friend" Which
proves that Mr.. Tunney is really
quite human, after all, and not a
bad fellow himself.
Peculiarly enough, Tunney
spouted his defense while I was
trying to talk to him about the
current heavyweight situation. I
never knew that Mysterious Mon
ty was one of his friends.

concerned, Gene said he thought

on August 26 at Yankee stadium.
No, he never had seen Farr fight,
but he had talked to others who

Bulge and Mako Will Face
Cramm and Henkle In
Doubles Match
BY ROBERT C. DOWSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Wimbledon, Eng, July l8.-W.P)
With the United States and
Germany each holding a singles
victory, tomorrow's doubles en-
counter is expected to be the key
match of the inter-zone Davis
Cup finals.
Because of their semi finals tri-
umph at Wimbledon, the Ameri-
cans, Donald Bulge and Gene Ma
ko, will be favored slightly over
Baron Gottfried Won Cramm and
Henner Henkel. However, the Ger
mans forced them to five sets ard
it likely will be the most bitterly
fought match of the series.
If the American team wins, the
right to challenge Great Britain
for the historic tennis trophy will
be almost assured, because no one
believes Won Cramm has a chance
against Bulge in Tuesdays final
singles matches. Should the Ger
mans win, however, it will be a
different story, because Grant and
Henkel probably will 60 on the
court in the final and deciding
match.
Regardless of the outcome of
the Henkel-Grant match, the di-
minutive Atlanta, Ga, star will
be assured the support of the gal
lery. AS he lost to Won Cramm
yesterday, Grant might have been
playing for Great Britain judging
from the amount of applause he
got. Every good stroke he made
was greeted by handclapping,
cheering and Whistling. The UNI
pire was forced several times to
appeal to the crowd to please re-
frain from applauding until the
rallies are ended" The noise dis
tracted Won Cramm, causing him
TO muff easy ShOtS.
While the experts debated why
Grant was chosen for the No. 2
singles assignment instead of
frankie Parker, the latter was as
sured of an appearance on VIM
bledons' famed center court, when
he was booked as a partner for
Englands best mixed doubles
player, Mary Whitmarsh, in an
exhibition match tomorrow
against Hans Denker of the Ger
man Davis Cup squad, and Mary
Hardwick of Britain.

Protest Due to Raw
Decision of Officials
By PETE HASTE

The Texaco Beach Pirates were
handed their third defeat since
their entrance into the league
when Cradock set them back 2
10 l. The Pirates outhit their op-
ponents 6 to but were lost when
their guests hit them at the field
ers. Slant, Pirate twirler, was in
rare form but his mates were in
a rather raw form, in the field.
The Pirates landed on the visi-
tos for enough hits to win any
average ball game but were un-
able TO turn their hits into runs.
The winners first run came as
\ result of a wild peg to second
and a fleet-footed base runner.
Carney and Green, Cradock play
ers, were the only ones to touch
Slant for hits and these both
were scratchy singles. while Askew
landed on Treakle for two base
blows and Thompson Walston and
Whaley got one apiece for the Pi-
rates.
The game was played under pro-
tests from the Beach team due to
the alleged raw decisions of the
umpire. The umpire is said to
have remarked that he was "off"
yesterday.
Morgan, Cradock receiver, was
the star of the game when he
scored the first run on a wild
throw and caught one of the best
games played on the resort dia-
mond in many a moon.

He showed that when Braddock's
