Gil Hunt Obviously AiIins
As He Falls Before Mako.

The red-hot Mako, known hereto
fore as the fellow who winds up
Budge's phonograph, but playing abso-
lutely Budgeless from the beginning Of
this tournament, continued a streak
which so far Is the most remarkable
streak Of the meeting when he drilled
Gill Hunt by IS, Is, e6, 60.
In his last two engagements, the
Hungarian trap-drummer walloped
Frank Kovacs, a white hope from Cal
ifornia, and Franjo Puncec, also hope
and also white, In straight sets. In
fact, the set he lost to Hunt today was
the first that Mako has lost since the
tournament started. And he lost this
one only because he did not care to
gamble with the humidity.
It was no day for tennis. When 1t
didn't rain. 1t poured perspiration.
Hunt, conqueror Of Bobby Riggs, was
out there with weak stomach. He
led in the first set at So when rain
interrupted the carnival. In the wet
furnace heat which followed, Mako
ran out five games in q row for the
set. He tossed OF the second to save
his stamina, won the third the hard
way. and took the fourth and last in
. gale Of whitewash.
The score Of that final set, 60,
tells the story. Hunt simply waved his
racquet at the ball as it went BY He
looked to pe sick man, and no doubt
he was, If you believe his personal
phvsician and his own restrained mar.
rative after the match. Hunt is q
fighter by disposition, and when he
doesn't fight it's pretty certain that he
isn't physically able to.
It was sad to see the last of this
grim but llkeable mathematics teacher
from Washington, after his smart,
smashing defeat of young Riggs. But
he didn't have it today, and Mako
was hot-and it may have been Mako's
last hot day, at that. his last imperson-
alton Of forest fire, for Mr.. J. Brom-
wich, mis- next opponent, is a guy who
carries around his own private cooling
system.
Nancye Wynne, thes stalwart Aus
tralian, LED the way into the semi final
IN the ladies' and misses department
by trimming Margot Lumb of England,
who trimmed Helen Jacobs. This gives
Australia three shares of the IL re-
manning blocks Of stock, and means
that $244.76 apiece is lot to pay for

FOREST HILLS, Sept. 1s.-Aus-
tralia, with q population of only about
seven millions, counting aborigines and
. few kangaroos, Is without doubt the
hottest tennis country in the world.
OF six players left in the mems divi-
sion Of the national championships
today. two were from the far and
sparsley settled outpost Of the British
Empire-Jack Bromwich and Harry
Hopman. Nancy Wynne looked to be
q certain fnalist, if not the tourna-
ment champion, in the women's divi-
sion.
It's . remarkable showing. Brom-
wich, still fresh after his four-set win
over Joe Hunt yesterday. was asked
how come.
Probably the simplest explanation
Is that We have about two million
tennis players" he said. Honest,
about two out Of every seven people
must play the game. One club in
Melbourne has 1900 members, and
there are many others nearly as large.
Climate Il Favorable.
IN Sydney and Melbourne We have
the advantage Of being able to play
every month Of the year on grass. It
Is seldom too hot or too cold. Natu-
rally. We are developing . lot of good
players. I should think we have about
eight youngsters at home who could
beat your Frank Kovacs, to use an
example. OF course, you must re-
member that two Of our best players,
Jack Crawford and Vivian McGrath,
didn't come over this time"
One gathers from talking with the
Australians that there Is fully as much
high pressure tennis over there as in
America, with regular tournament
circuit and plenty of help for the
young players who show promise. Pat
O'Hare Wood, the old Aussie Davis
Cup star, is in command Of the young
brigade.
All this may make 1t easier to
understand if the Australians win the
women's title here and snatch the
Davis Cup next summer, rs seems
likely II Don Bulge turns professional.
Nancy Wynne. who jumped into the
forefront Of the woman contenders by
her Ga, 50, 81 victory yesterday
over Margot Lumb Of England, was a
very good stenographer up to a year
ago. The way she's playing tennis
now 1t might never be necessary for

Joe Hunt Gets Cromps After
He Knows Bromwich Is Tops.

The feature bout of the day was the
one between Bromwich and Hunt. each
less than 20 years old, but each q
handful Of tennis player. Joe Hunt Is
Americas No. 8 man, a good bet for
the Davis Cup team next year. Brom-
wich probably is the best amateur in
the world, next to Bulge.
The world takes in a lot Of terri
tory and It certainly includes Joe
Hunt, for Bromwich was the better
man this time. His strokes may lack
the fire and smoothness Of Hunts
Bromwich has a left-handed FORE
hand, q right-handed serve, two
handed back-hand and is said to be
equipped with pouch to carry his
young-but he owns more steadiness
and cool courage than Joe can hope
to muster
Hunt played his best game as long
as he could, found 1t wesn't good
enough and came down with cramps.
BY q strange coincidence, Joe often
comes down with cramps. or rose
fever, or some similar scourge, when
he starts losing q match. Bromwich
hinted openly in the locker room
afterward that Hunts gestures Of
agony constituted . five-a-day vaude-
vile act, two parts comedy, three parts
acrobatics. And that was the way 1t
looked.
After winning the long second set.
il-s, to even the score, Joe found
himself outgamed in the third. He
could recover n oground in the fourth,
and the cramps followed. Cramp by
Cramp. In justice to Joe, he really
may have suffered. And, In justice
to Bromwich. it had no effect on the
final result.

Criminal Procedure
Newark Evening Newsl

tNewark Evening NeWs)
 How often have interruptions tigants in suits at law and accused crooks in criminal trials with smart lawyers to represent them halted the wheels of justice by throwing monkey wrench technicates fashioned out of the rules of practice and procedure Unneces- sary expense delay and confusion have resulted, largely from shacking the courts to Legislature made code
 No one has abored more earnestly and success fully for correction of this condition the Federal courts than has Attorney General Cummings. Due largely to his efforts the Congress in 1884 dered to the Supreme Court the whole province of rule-making civil actions reform that had been agiated for 30 years This spring the court promul gated new rules which will become effective in Sep tember establishing uniform and simplified system place of the rigid inflexble and confusing statute fixed code
 Now MT Cummings has taken the lead in seeking to have the court given full rule-making power in criminal procedure Where a question of criminal procedure arises present not covered by any specific federal statute the trial judge must look to the com law but before applying it he must consider the notifications imposed by state constitutions and state legislation. Even then he must determine that these notifications not inconsistent with the Constitu tion and laws of the United States
 In short the existing system is a hodge -podge of common law federal law and state law The i'm perative need of solution is stated by the Attorney General in these cogent words:
 The American public is keenly conscious of the problems of crime control Last but not least it is demanding efficient disposition of criminal cases Unnecessary delays will not be tolerated indefinitely The average citizen has but scant patience with legal refnementS that all too often cloud criminal trial and obscure the main obective-the determination Of guilt or innocence-the search for truth. We must reform or be reformed"
 Here is a warning and challenge Whatever its effect national legislators it will be welcomed by those members of the bar who long have striven for the Cummings objective and whose cooperation the Attorney General may fully rely.

British Democracy
Cincinnati EnnnirerO

We read with acute interest that Princess Eliza beth twelye-year old heir presumptve to the British throns, has become active member of the Girl Guides patrol leader, in fact. In this capacity she is learning, doubtless with royal aacrity to make her own bed It seems to be a moot point thus far whether she will pursue the regular curriculum of the organization to the point of mastering elementary aspects of the culinary art.
 This is British democracy at it's most typical. For the very of the system by which small and wealthy aristocracy manages to handle large middle class and larger proletariat Is to create the illusion of camaraderie.
 By any scrupulousy realistic test British govern ance is not nearly as democratic as our own. Their forms, apart from monarchy and it's appurtenances, democratic. But the invariable results are less The Prime Minister has absolute discipline Parliament and suffers legislative defeats every American President must endure Party lines are firm that MP.s entire political future is irrevocably destroyed if he once votes against his party on important division.
 The civil services vastly more powerful in Eng land than here recruited by the most startlingy snobbish methods from the graduates of few aristo cratic public schools open only to the wealthy. These and cabinet officers have the means at hand to frustrate any proposal made in Commons.
 Back of all this however is the deeply ingraned wisdom of sufficient number of the English govern ing class. Accustomed to rule happy in politics rather than in trade they know nstinctvey when to embrace reforms when to make concessions. They are conservatives in the true sense for they know that enduring conservatism lies in readiness to
 make concessions to liberals and aborites just before not after they forced to it.
 Thus do they maintain a highly arstocratic social and economic system through the forms of democracy. And Princess Elizabeth, tying knots and making beds, helps.

ALASKA GETS FIRST BIG CONVENTION

Excellent news comes to Alaska in the exclusive dispatch carried in The Empire yesterday that the National Editorial Association will hold it's annual convention in the north next year
 It means the Territory is getting it's first major convention in it's history and its success depends a great deal of the future holding of such meetings in Alaska.
 It will bring approximately $50 delegates and their families north and those delegates will repre- sent most of the small daily and larger weekly news papers in America The impressions they get of the Territory it's opportunities and its people will be reflected throughout the nation when they get home and write stories for the readers of their various publications It will be the greatest avenue of pub licity that Alaska has ever had.
 According to the present tentative schedule the delegates will leave Seattle aboard the steamer Aleu- tian the Alaska line June IA expecting to go as far as Seward Doubtless some, if not the major DOT tion of the party will visit the Interior points. Ses sons are expected be held aboard the vessel and in the various cities along the way including Juneau. The delegates are scheduled to be here at least day
 large part of the credit for bringing the con- vention north next year due to the efforts of the Alaska Steamship Company, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and Gov John w. Troy. The Governor with other newspaper and officials of the Territory have been urging the convention to come to Alaska for several years Alaska line officials have been pull ing for the sessions and this year headed the move Ynent at the annual meeting in White Sulphur Springs Delegate Dimcnd called upon to issue the invitation, in his usual wholehearted efforts for Alaska, de- ferred other business in the national capital and attended the White Sulphur Springs meeting to invite the editors the Territory Several other invitations had been extended when it came the Delegates turn to speak It is significant that following his remarks at least one of those invitations withdrawn be- or,f that same spirit permeated the Board of Directors, which has now awarded the 1889 convention to the Territory
 It was excellent piece of work in behalf of Alaska, and well done It remains now for the rest of us to that the first major convention the Ter ritory has ever had is success in far can make it so.

OLYMPIC GAMES VS. WAR

Probably one of the best indications of how the financial winds are blowing in Japan as result of it's of aggression in China is the announcement day before yesterday from Tokyo that the Japanese government had decided to abandon plans for hold ing the 1940 Olympic games in Tokyo. The reason given the cost of financing the games which can be safely interpreted the cost of financing the war against China.
 In it's which has extended more than a year now Japan has seen its expenses mounting to the figures of major conflict The struggle which was to have been quick victory is still far from Japanese victory although it has seized considerable portion of northern China. More and more troops have been moved into the zone and this has cost money. The result has been constantly mounting leves on the residents at home curtaiment of food supplies and concentration but thing winning the war, which apparently is still far off
 Indication that it is not now considered even in Japan, matter of few months also is reflected in
