Palestine in Czechoslovakia.
 Extent of Risk

No reliable observers here believed that the Nazis would badly invade CzechoSlovakia. But they agreed that the extent of risk Germany might take was linked with the extent to which Britain committed herself to aiding Czechoslovakia and France in any crisis.
 Adolf Hitler has said repeatedly that he does not want war, and it seemed that that statement might be taken literally. At the same time, it seemed certain that he would not be deaf to any cry for help from the German minority in Czechoslovakia if violent crisis were precipitated in the minority area.
 Germans Protest
 Prague, Czechoslovakia, Aug. 27- (UP)-The German legation pro- tested strongly to Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta today against an "af- front to the German army and the German people" contained in a newspaper article about the military PdAuo iiCid III oCI OI Admiral Nicholas Horthy, Hungar- ian regent.
 The protest demanded punish nent of those responsible for writ ng and publishing the article. It declared such press campaign is poisoning the atmosphere.
 A copy of the article, which was published in the newspaper Marav Skoslezsky, was entitled, They Were Not Soldiers But Cattle. It de- scribed alleged atrocities committed by German soldiers when they cap- tured Lille, France, during the World War. It said:
 When the Germans took the French city of Lille they began to plunder. Their commander ordered the mastering of all women between ! l8 and 30 and sent these unfortunate

the expert can handle them. Your
ordinary angler needs several ounces
more tip and three to six more
threads to handle fish out of his
accustomed realm.
Heavy Tackle Is Supplied.
Fishing guides know this. On
their cruisers they have big tele-
graph poles and winch reels carry
ing 81 and "a thread lines for the
marlin at Ocean City. This they
lend to tyros, knowing that the
experienced angler, wanting the
lighter, sporty tackle, will own his
own. There also is a measure of
self-preservation in this, because
the novice who borrows light tackle
likely will break it up.
Our suggestion about the tackle
specifications is this. Use the Aitken
table Of tackle strengths when deter
mining world records, but still per-
init the not too experienced big
game fisherman to use what best
suits his ability and pocket, for it is
true sometimes that lighter tackle is
more expensive than heavier stuff.

the first heading, six-thread line
on a 412-ounce tip. Tackle like that
will handle the fish and furnish
plenty of sport, but it hardly is the
stuff for trolling.
A 4 or ounce sinker in a
cradle, the best rig to our way
of thinking, offers lot of water
resistance.
Several hours of dragging that
around will put a very nice set in
a Whippy rod. Otherwise the speci-
flcations seem alright as the six
thread line will land the fish. It
would be ideal for cumming.
Too Light for Some.
The second division, fish up to go
pounds on nine-thread line and
6-ounce tip, would be for channel
bass around here. They're a breeze
on that, although some anglers insist
on using Is and 18 thread line
The next division, fish to 100 pounds
on 15thread line and q 10-ounce
tip, is for the white marlin at Ocean
City.
They can be caught on that,
but transplanted bay fisher
men are going to have hard
time doing it.

a lot of fishermen are reading the

nothing about it. They are given

oS tilC AoSOSIdlcu FI6SS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Monday
some of the boys who may be future
Davis Cup aces and Wimbledon
champions will swing into action in
the national junior and boys indoor
tennis championships.
It's sort of an annual holiday
spree for the boys hereabout who
pursue the racket game even when
1t takes them to the polished board
floors Of the 7th Regiment Armory.
Most of the 81 entered for the
Junior singles and 36 for the boys
singles either live in the metropoli-
tan area or 60 to school here A
few, however, think enough of the
title to travel considerable distances
to compete.
In spite of the tournaments rather
local character, it's a real national
championship. The junior winner
usually is boy to be reckoned with
in any but the, most important of
the summer events.
The IL seeded juniors are headed
by joey F'ishbach of Brooklyn, the
unknown" from st. Johns Uni
versity who swept through a strong
field to take the title last winter.
He also won the Eastern intercol-
legiate indoor and outdoor titles and
the Eastern junior indoor an out
door championships during the past
year.
Also seeded is David johnson of
George Washington University.
The ivy League" colleges of the
East. notably Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton, Penn and Cornell, will be repre-
sented by sizeable groups of un-
seeded players.

1erp Ring Hope Seen
In Cronin, F|ashy
Quarter-MiIer
Track Star Apt to Box
In ]55-Pound Class;
Glove Team Sturdy

The X-ray optics of Heinie Miller,
the University of Maryland boxing
coach who can spot ring prospect
at so PAGES, have plucked a sturdy
specimen from the track realm, with
the result that Frank Cronin, 440-
yard dash indoor and outdoor
Southern Conference champion,
doubtless will flip fists for the Terps
at 155 pounds.
Cronin, 21-year-old Bel Air, Nd,
senior, has developed rapidly in the
art of firing leather, and Miller is
confident he will bolster Maryland
in that department.
Distressing to the Maryland
coach, however, is the decision of
Abe Cohen, former Eastern High
football player, not to fight this
year. Cohen, an outstanding
heavyweight with the freshman
team last year, was regarded highly
by Miller, who still has hopes Abe
will buoy the division in which the
Terps otherwise will be weak.
Terps' Outlook CLOVIS.
In general, though. Maryland's S
prospects are rosy. Benny Alper-
stein, twice national collegiate
featherweight champion, will move
up to his more normal poundage of
1875, while veterans also are avail
able in George Dorr, 120; Bob
Bradley, 1877; Nathan Askin, who is
moving into the 145-pound class
to battle for job with Jose De Pc
ralta. and Newton Cox, 165.
With the exception of the heavy
weight division, Maryland is two
deep in each class with veteran or
promising material and only seven
seniors are included in the squad
of 80.

Runs His Season TotuI
To AZ With Is Made
As Ohio Is Beaten

George Washington's basket ball
team handed its coach, Bill Rein
hart, a premature Christmas pres
ent last night when, for the first
time this season, 1t looked the i'm
pressive outfit which recorded 10
victories in II games last year. It
not only defeated Ohio University,
a strong little team which had av-
eraged 81 points per game before
coming here, but did so with dis
patch, IS to 80.
The return of Jack ButterWorth
helped the Colonials immeasurably,
for it was the 6-foot-4 center who
set up most of his teams plays and
whose height and aggressiveness
was an immense asset In retrieving
the ball off the blackboard. Butter
worth also scored 13 points in his
first start of the year.
Faris Bids for Score Lead.
The game did more than reveal
that both G. w. and Butterworth
seem ready to 60 again. for. by scor-
ing 16 points, Bob Faris tied for the
individual scoring lead of the Dis
trict with the same man who beat
him for that title last year. To date,
both Faris and Wayne Ambrose of
Catholic U. have scored AZ points
In three games, or an average of
IA per game. Last year Ambrose
finished Al points ahead of Faris
and although he played one more
game than the G. w. Star his av-
erage was more than a point per
game better.
Ohio, which only two nights pre-
viously had handed st. Joseph's of
Philadelphia its first defeat on its
home court in nearly 40 games, was
In the running only once against
G. w. That was in the first minute
OF play, when ii held 81 advantage.
But before the visitors could find
time to score another point, their
hosts had scored IS and that 16-2
lead never was threatened.
Starting the second half with a
1924 lead, Reinhart gave every man
on his squad a chance to play. G..

When competition starts in the

TwoD.C Linkswomen
Out for Places on
CurtisCup Team
Marion Brown and Helen
DettweiIer Looking
To 1910 Season
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Don't be surprised in 1910 to see
Marion Brown and Helen DettWeiler
pushing for spot on the Curtis Cup
team of that year. Now only shade
removed from the top rungs of ma
tional golf. the two youngsters who
dominated feminine golf around the
Capital in 1888, have as their biggest
ambition spot on the international
outfit, which will meet the British
sisters in Britain in 1910. Two years
of improvement and one or the other
maybe both-might make the
team.
Viewing the records of these two
gals in national tournaments you
get the idea that they are away be-
low the best of the nationally ranked
stars. Marion. for example, failed to
qualify in the 1888 national cham
pionship at Chicago. Helen quail
fled and lost in the second round.
No Washington woman has gone be-
yond the second round in many
years.
Unlikely to Equal Bright Stars.
It's doubtful if either Helen or
Marion ever will be in the class of
Patty Berg, or Virginia Van Vie,
who retired after three consecutive
victories in the national. Or in the
class of the Glenna Collett Ware of
dozen years ago. Either or both of
them suddenly may gain that some
thing that distinguishes the $3.50
golfer from the winner of major
championships In Helen's case it
would be an infallible putting stroke
that wouldn't desert her in the
pinches. and temperament little
more on the placid side. In the case
of Marion Brown it would be a shade
more consistency with the big shots.
You don't find the topnotchers miss
ing short puts or foozling a full
brassie shot when the chips are
down.
There are plenty ofsgirl golfers in
the land pushing their way into the
forefront of the game and showing
the stars around for a top-ranking
spot. Girls like Betty Jameson of
Dallas, Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta,
Marion McDougall of Washington
State, Beatrice Barrett of st. Paul,
Virginia Guilfoyle of Syracuse, all
are like Helen and Marion, good
Curtis Cup material, but still shade
below the national championship
class on their proven performances
Need More Work.
A little more intensive practice, q
little more real competition, and
Marion and Helen can move up into
the ranks of the first half dozen
shotmakers among the feminine
players. Few girls wearing golf
spkes today have the sheer power
and strength of shotmaking of Helen
Dettweiler. And few have the putt
ing ability and confidence of Marion
Brown. 1t won't take much for
these girls to shove their noses into
the top flight of feminine golf.
Whether Virginia Mapes, Wash
ington's only woman golf pro, is
right in her statement that the girls
here know very little about the golf
swing, both Marion Brown and Helen
Dettweiler have proved they can
play the game. Which is the i'm
portant thing, after all.
