England to pause. If they do not believe HitlerS

do believe him when he says he is about through

Czechoslovakia they will go to war against him.
Watch the wording Of these messages written
by the diplomats. That is where the loopholes
are to be found. There are various ways for
Hitler to accomplish his objectives without
actual invasion" Of Czechoslovakia. The Sudeten
might not be called Czechoslovakia. The Hen
lein Sudeten free corps might be expanded with
German regular troops, enlisted as "Sudetens"
Italians we're enlisted in Frances army in Spain,
as were Germans, but the world powers did not
call this invasion"
If Hitler took such steps, it is likely France
and Britain would observe that such was not
invasion" in its official sense. If so, general
war would be unlikely.

HUNTINGTON AUTO
 RACES ON SUNDAY

Huntington, July 1--(SpeciaD- When big car race drivers and fans move into Huntington's neat little speedway Sunday afternoon, they will be greeted by new set of turns which should provide for better rac- ing, it was revealed by track officials today.
 Starting to work as soon as the heavy rains early in this week halt ed a crew of men tore up the turns which have been far from smooth and started to clear up the difficulty. By race time on Sunday, officials said, the track will be in the best condition of the year.
 If such is the case, some of the most brilliant riding of the season is also expected as most of the pre- viOus winners in races here are due back again for the holiday program. Officials indicated today that at least Is drivers will be on the scene to battle for the pole position in the time trials at 1 o'clock.
 It was also said today that Mike Agoes, who swept the first two ma- jor programs but was injured when he cracked up in the third trial, may be able to return to the track Sun day. However, he will be met by a strong field headed by Freddie Carl son, Mike Fibre, Bud Brown, Allan Kellogg and others, all of whom i, places in the last two meets.

Leads State Ln Boxing Attendance
Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

at the hands of Hilda Sperling and Mary HardWicke, players she could have beaten without adjusting her eye-shade when she was young. The chances of Miss Jacobs reaching the final were even more remote Plagued by ill-health, she collapsed in the dressing room before her first round match and was forced to request postponement for the first time in her career.
 But both rose above diversity and came through, and with their ar- rival in the final round memories of their last meeting came flood ing back. The spikes of tennis mightiest have dug into the sod at Wimbledon but in London the youngest ball boy and the oldest critic will tell you that no pair of antagonists ever produced a match to equal the one between the Helens in 1885.
 It was one of the few genuine grude tennis matches ever played. Miss Jacobs was playing to prove to the world that her victory over Mrs. Moody in the final round at Forest Hills in 1883 was deserved Mrs. Moody was equally determined to show that the only way her rival could ever beat her was by de- fault.
 For nearly two hours, under a sun as hot as ever shone in Cali fornia, the two girls played it out. Attacking savagely Mrs. Moody won the first set 6-3, but she had to bring out all the shots at her con- mand to do it, so superbly did Miss Jacobs defend.
 Superbly confident, Mrs. Moody increased the tempo of her thrusts but they were futile in the face of Miss Jacobs inspirde play. Miss Jacobs splattered the base and side lines with rifle forehands and back hands. She beat her foe from the net with passing shots that creased the wings. She did everything, to take the second set 6-3.
 The third and deciding set was a heart-stopper. Miss Jacobs, in- spired by the opportunity to avenge all the defeats she had suffered from Mrs. Moody, fought her way to 5-3 lead and match point in the ninth game. And then with her own Everest summit just step aWay-she hit an easy lob into the bottom of the net.
 Disheartened, she slumped bit Reprieved, Mrs. Moody put on more pressure and went on to win.
 Now they are to meet again. And by midnight tonight thousands will already have begun the long vigil at Wimbledon's gates.

CURB FOR ALL-STAR
 GAME EVOKED
Sale Conducted By Mail and Large Orders
 Are Reduced

Cincinnati, O., July 1.-(UP)- Harry Murdough, behind the scenes" member of the Cincinnati Reds official family, is on the blacklist" of baseball fans from coast to coast because he was con- fronted with mathematical prob lem that defied solution.
 Murdough, manager of the Reds ticket department, was given the unenViable task of handling the sale of tickets to the Major League All-Star game here July 6, and he brought the wraht of fans down on his head because of his in- ability to make 24000 reserved and box seats take care requests for the staggering total of 10000 ducatS.
 Murdough and staff of six as- sistants devoted a full month to the all-star game ticket situation. They had requests for reservations from 85,000 persons. The applica- tions came from every state in the Union and Canada. The individual requests varied from the humble fan who wanted one ticket for himself to organizations, clubs and business firms that requested up to 600 tickets.
 Limit Not Definite
 No definite limit was established on the number of tickets allotted any person, Murdough said, but virtually every order was reduced and an effort made to take care of as many fans as possible.
 The sale was conducted primar- fly on first -come-first st-served" basis. Howyever. Cincinanu fans received the preference over out of-toWn applicants.
 Undoubtedly we will be criti- cized for this practice" Murdough said, but I think it was the only fair thing to do. The scene of the All-Star game is changed annually to permit fans in the various sec tions to see 1t and when we are hosst to the contest I believe it just that we take care of the dyed-in- wool fans who support us at the gate by their regular attendance"
 Murdough estimated that of the reserve and box seats approximate ly 16,000 went to Cincinnati fans and 5000 to out-of-toWn persons. The local residents also are eX- pected to obtain the bulk of the 4,50O bleacher seats that go on sale July and the 2500 Standing room only" admissions that will be sold the day of the game.
 Believes Spectators Baked
 Every effort was made, Mur- dough said to prevent any tickets from falling into the hands of spectators.
 That was one of the main req sons we conducted the sale en- tirely by mail" he stated. Most of the tickets went into the hands of the fans we know full well want to use them themselves.
 Gross receipts from the game are expected to total approximately $40,0OO. All proceeds, after eX- penses are deducted, will go into fund to care for aged ball players.
 The contest here will be the sixth between picked clubs from the American and National leagues. The previous games were played at Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Boston and Washington. The Amer ican league representatives have tri- umphed four times. The only Ma tional league victory was in 1886.

New York, July 1.--CUP)-Mrs Helen Wills Moody and Helen Ja- cobs, whose feud could be no more intense had one been born Hat field and the other a Mccoy, again go a-huntin' for one another OH Wimbledon's center court tomorrow
 They've been gunnin' one another for night on to a decade, now, and no vengeful Kentuckia ever handled his squirrel gun more vindictively than the two California girls do their racquetS. There's no love lost between the two Helens never has been since their rivalry started when they were little girls in Ber- kelley. The i'll feeling between them was born in high school, nurtured in college, and bloSsomed into full bloom on the tennis courts of the world
 Their meeting for the highest of all tennis prizes tomorrow reads like a page torn from the notebook of the maddest Hollywood scenariSt. Two weeks ago both of the Helens apparently were headed toward the wings, their days under the interna- tional tennis spotlight at an end.
