MAYOR DEFIES'
Gov, NICE ON
VACATION VOTE
Challenges Him to
Make Arrests

Michael j. Lane, Democratic
mayor of North Beach, Nd, who
practices law in the Nations Cap
ital, today dared Gov. Harry w.
Nice to carry out his threat of
arresting vacation voters who
will go to the polls in the coming
election at the nearby bay resort.
Governor Nice lambaSted' the
vacation voters" yesterday in an
address at Prince Frederick, Md.
He said suspect lists of District
Of Columbia residents, who may at
tempt to vote at cottage resorts
particularly at North Beach
were being prepared and they may
face arrests and criminal prose
cution if they go to the polls.
He said the only claim to a vote
these persons have is summer
residence in the State.
HE DROPS A HINT
"I just dare him to make even
one arrest" Mayor Lane clustered
today, and his remarks were in a
finish-fight tone. Although Mayor
Lane would not directly state what
steps he would follow if the gov
ernor did carry out his threat, he
indicated that State police, who
would be called on by the COVER
nor, have very limited power at
North Beach.
The state police in communities
like North Beach are empowered
to act only in traffic cases and
this power is delegated to them
by the mayor.
AT LEONARDTOWN
Meanwhile Governor Nice and
his G. o. P. associates brought
their fight to st. Mary'S county at
Leonardtown today. They devoted
the day to appearances at Leonard
town and surrounding commu-
mites.
Although expressing confidence
in the outcome of the November
election in Maryland, Governor
Nice repeated here what he had
said many times before, and said
again at Prince Frederick:
"I shall be the next governor
Of Maryland as sure as you are
sitting here. But I must have
Democratic support. I received
it before and expect to receive it
again"
PREDICTS SURPLUS
AS the basis of his appeal to
Democratic voters, he predicted
that there will be a $2,500,0 sur
plus in the State treasury at the
end of his present term, as COM
pared with a $3,500,000 deficit
when he entered the State House
four years ago.
In speeches yesterday and to-
day he appealed also to the colored
voters of Maryland, declaring his
administration had done more for
them in four years than had been
done for members of the race in
the rs years which preceded his
administration.
CHARLES COUNTY NEXT
Tomorrow Governor Nice and his
COP campaign party, including
Judge Oscar Lesser Of Baltimore,
candidate for the Senate against
Senate" Tydings, and candidates
for State offices as well, will carry
their fight to Charles county,
spending the day in La Plata.
Attorney General Herbert R.
O'Conor. Democratic nominee for
governor, Senator Tydings and the
other Democratic candidates will
follow their trail through the same
counties, starting tomorrow. They
are scheduled to campaign in st.
Mary's and Charles counties early
next week.

Their disagreement took the

Magruder called in members of
his staff in Baltimore during the
Free State primary campaign to
announce his own support of the
candidacy of New Dealer David
u. Lewis against Senator Millard E.
Tydings for the Democratic sena-
torial nomination.
Secretary of the Treasury had
approved his action, and it was
declared in the course of the cam.

statement to the office and field

Golfing Family

Mrs. Meyers psychology was
correct, for most youngsters do
much better in sports competi.
tion without family kibitzing.
But in the case of her son Dick,
I think Mrs. Meyers caution
was commendable but probably
unnecessary. For if 1 ever saw
a youngster who played with
the unruffled manner of a vet
eran. it was he. His game is pol
ished and consistent. Under
pressure he remains calm and
methodical. And he can stage a
rally from way below scratch
when he appears to be thor
oughly beaten.
Such steady golf may be bred
into golfing families. Mr.. Meyer,
who is head of the local Armour
plant, is a keen golfer himself.
He won the Presidents cup at
Manor two years ago. Although
Mrs. Meyer considers herself a
duffer, she hits a good, straight
tee ball. And small Colette,
aged 9, is beginning to take
considerable interest in her
older brothers golfing equip
ment.
The Meyer family moved to
Washington from Illinois nine
years ago and shortly after
wards Dick began to play a lit
tie golf. But Dick says he hasn't
been much good until this year.
No Buzzords
Last year Dick graduated
from st. Johns Military Acad-
emy, where he used to tootle a
trumpet in the school band. He
now works in the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank as a runner and last
winter took night course in
commercial law and accounting.
Next year Dick hopes to enter
Georgetown University and his
chief ambition is to play on the
Georgetown golf team. He
doesn't much care whether they
give him a trumpet to play on in
the Georgetown band any more.
Until yesterday Dick Meyer
had never won a tournament
Two years ago he was runnerup
in the Georgetown tournament,
and last year he was runnerup
in the invitation tourney at
Manor, of which club he and his
parents are members.
To give you an idea of how
extraordinarily consistent the
new junior golf champion OF the
District is, here is an analysis
Of the "a holes of competitive
golf he displayed yesterday in
his Semifinal and final rounds
He shot no less than seven
brides and pared IS of the
other holes. On the remaining
IL he took bogies, but not one
single buzzard. There aren't
many senior tournament players
who can turn in such record
In his semifinal match. he was
shooting for a straight par 7C

VASS HAS fine
GOLF FUTURE
DESPITE DEFEAT

Champagne in the big silver cur
which bears the names of Roger
Peacock, Roland Mackenzie anc
other one-time junior champions
was none too good for the grown-ur
friends of Mr.. John R. Meyers
son Dick yesterday at Manor Club
For Mr.. Meyer and Mrs. Meyer
we're proud indeed that their II
year-old son had won the junior
golf championship of the District
by defeating big George Vass one
up on the nineteenth hole.
This was Dicks last year In
junior competition, but George is
only Is and has two more years
to take a crack at the champion
ship. Golf fans are predicting
that VaSs, captain of Western
High Schools linksters, will not
only take the trophy next year
but the next, too.
In yesterdays match, George
displayed kid golf" of aStound
ing power. He outdrove Dick or
every hole by 25 to so yards. II
his short game anywhere neal
matched his wood shots. the best
senior competition in Washington
would have difficulty eliminating
him from a tournament.
PUTTING TREACHEROUS
His putting, however, is treach
erous. On the last nine, he three
putted time after time and missed
four.footerS and three-footers
right and left.
On the out nine, George VaSs
was burning up the course, and
when they took the turn with the
score three up for George. it
looked like curtains for Dick
When Dick dropped the tenth hole
and was four down, all George
had to do was coast.
Instead, he blew up completely
On the 11th his trouble was
sand; on the 18th and 18th he
three-putted. On the 14th, Dick
played a stroke which he will,
. NC VI y 4IlS w NuPLASoON
for the rest of his life-he pitched
into the hole from 40 yards away
to. take a birdie and even the
match.
SUPER GOLF
They halved each of the next
five holes while the gallery held
it's breath. On the deciding 10Th
Dick played super golf with a
good, straight wood and pitch
two feet from the pin. He sank
his putt for a birdie 3 to VaSS' 5

In Footsteps

BY PAT ROVINSON,


NEW YORK, June 30.-The late
John McGraw had a simple system
for winning pennants. TITS easy"
McGraw used to say. "Just break
even with the good ones and MUIR
der the buns"
That was McGraw's way of say
ing never give a sucker an even
break" and the record shows that
his Giants never showed any mercy
toward the tail-enders.
Bill Terry seems to be following
in the footsteps of his old boss.
To date the Giants have played
less than 500 ball against their
main contenders, but against the
second division outfits their record
is almost 800.
3-GAME LEAD
The advantages of the system
were shown once more no later
than yesterday, when the Giants
knocked off the helpless and hap
less 2hillies, 81 and 60, to in
crease their lead over the Reds to
three full games.
Schumacher and Melton con-
tributed the elbowing and Mel OFT
kicked in with his nineteenth
homer.
Meanwhile, some great relief
pitching by Bill Swift, plus some
timely hitting by Paul Waner. gave
the Pirates a 5-4 nod over the
Reds and moved the winners up to
third place, ahead of the slipping
Cubs, who fell before Lefty Wei
land and the rest Of the Cards,
10-5.
The Yanks, who always have
been strong believers in the sys-
tenn of slaughtering the weak
lings, hammered out 40 and
13-1 victories over the Athletics,
thereby causing the aged Connie
Mack and a group of what he is
pleased to call pitchers no end Of
grief.
27-HIT BARRAGE
Lefty Gomez and Bump Hadley
each uncorked a four-hitter and
both gave promise of better things
to come. Joe Gordon, who has
been on a batting orgy lately, blew
himself to six hits before the AS
finally got him out. Among his
contributions were his sixth and
seventh homers. Red Rolfe got
his fifth homer, Lou Gehrig his
thirteenth and Bill Dickey his
twelfth. These were the chief
Wallops in 27-hit barrage.
The Tigers put on a late four
run rally to nose out the Indians,
4-3, thus reducing the Indians
lead to three games over the
Yanks. Homers by Bill Rogell
and Hank Greenberg paced the
Tiger uprising.
The poor Brownies got off to
a good start but wound up as usual
on the short end, the White Sox
putting on six-run drive to trim
them, 9-5. Messrs. Rensa. Rad
cliff and Owen said it with homers
for the Sox.
Brooklyn again derived little
comfort from floodlights as the
Dodgers dropped a IS night
game to the Boston Bees. Camilli,
Brooklyn's first baseman, slapped
two homerS.

When war drums first began to
thunder across the seas from Cen
trail Europe as summer stretched
into Fall a quarter of q century
ago, Washington was a sleepy
town more interested in the
weather than in wars.
But now with a face lifted al
most as drastically as that of the
map of Central Europe, Washing
ton is keeping abreast of every de.
velopment and the man in the
street today is better informed
than were the diplomats in 1914.
POPULATION DOUBLED
There were only 100000 vote
less citizens and $50 diplomats
living in Washington in 1914. To
day there are more than twice as
many voteleSs citizens and twice
as many diplomats.
A quarter OF q century ago the
most popular member of the dip
lomatic corps was Count Johann
Won Bernstorff, the German am

Two years later socialites who
