~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 16. - Right-wing
parties, on which Premier Daladier
depends for the life of his gov
ernment, issued a united demand
. through their newspapers today for
dissolution of the French Commu-
hist party.
:. A total of 43O Paris and provincial
papers, ranging from mildly con-
servative to the extreme right, were
said to have joined in the appeal
to Parliament and the government"
The move came as M. Daladier
was seeking to put Frances $685.
100000 franc ($2,441 ,OOO,OO0) budget
through the Chamber of Deputies
ahead of the more controversial
issues which might endanger his
.shaky majority.
He succeeded last night in getting
chairmen of Chamber party groups
to limit the budget debate to &c
hours, about one hour of discussion
for each $37 100000 of expenditures,
so the Deputies could complete their
action December %.
Some of the newspapers demand
Ing the Communist dissolution rep
resented parties which have long
been at each others throats. In
. Paris they included LIE Figaro, LIE
Journal and LIE Jour, all three in
huential newspapers with a nation
wide circulation.
Many of the papers not only rep
sented political parties, but were
edited and owned by deputies.
The appeal layed the Communist
party as one which "seeks both civil
and foreign war and which is only
an agent of the Soviet Union," and
accused the Communists of sabot-
aging Frances national defense, of
fomenting strikes and "of arousing
French workmen against foreign
states"
It concluded:
1T is up to the government to
take decisions according to the law
to insure the safety of the nation.
Eighteen European nations have
dissolved the Communist party in
order to become masters in their
own house. We must do likewise" !"
M. Daladier's own newspaper,
L'Oeuvre. did not print the appeal.

Hitler Back in Berlin
VIII See Dieckhoff

BERLIN, Dec. 16 @.-The latest
United States note was handed the
German government, it was dis
closed today, just as Reichsfuehrer
Hitler returned to Berlin from long
absence and arranged to receive
Hans H. Dieckhoff, Ambassador to
Washington, for his report on the
situation in the. United States.
Hitler reached Berlin last night
and was expected to see Dieckhoff
soon. Dieckhoff was recalled for
a report after President Roosevelt
summoned home Hugh r. Wilson,
United States Ambassador to Berlin,
for the same purpose, following the
Nazi anti-Jewish drive last month.
The new note, it was indicated,
was prompted by the vagueness of
the German replies to previous COM
munications demanding exemption
for American Jews from anti
Semitic economic DEGREES.
Trustworthy sources said that the
German replies to successive Ameri-
can representations have been, in
effect, that Germany would give
full consideration along lines of the
American desires"

Everything was doubled today in
the major leagues as the 16 clubs
prepared to stage eight twin bills

The Pirates are six games in
front as a result of their 5-3 vic
tory over the Cardinals yesterday
which came at the same time as
a 81 defeat handed the Reds by the
Cubs. Russ Bauers scattered hits
and stopped a ninth inning rally
to snap the Cards game winning
streak. Pep Young hit double and
triple to lead the Pirates attack.
Thirty nine year old Charley
Root pitched the Cubs to their II

end Cincinnati's 6 game winning
spree.
The New York Giants dropped
to fourth again by dividing with

Shorty Hogue VS.. Herman Graves.
It's the battle that fans OF the
fisticuff have been waiting for sint
the night the Hogue twins climbed
through the ropes the first time.
Graves has long dominated the
middleWeight division in the valley
and in southern California. Ex-
perts agreed that only one type OF
fighter, Hogue, would ever give him
a battle.
Now Shorty Hogue is heavy
enough to fight the Bomber and

A victory will make him the out

About Seattle
As late as June IA it appeared
that for the Seattle Rainiers to
ram their way into any part OF
the first division and get into the
playoff would be nothing short OF
miracle. But thar they stand.
And now they are even suspected
of shooting for the pennant and
the lions share of that pot of gold.
Their drive is even more sensational
than that of the Portland Beavers
in 1896. If they smash their way
to the top it will be Seattle's sec
ond Pacific Coast league pennant,
and it's second in fourteen years. j.
The Rainiers have been gettlf
some good twirling, and recently the
ponderosity of their punch has been
appalling to opposing pitchers. Bill
Sweeney predicted more than a
month ago that the Rainiers would
finish no worse than second. Sacra-
mento will have to answer that one.
Oakland alone prevented Seattle
from hlttlng the bottom tne week
of June TIP when the Rainiers
dropped seven in row to the
Angels.
Then they returned home to face
the neighbors and the neighbors'
children and open Sick's Seattle
stadium. Presto, change. Since then
it has been one grand rush, inter-
rupteds but briefly by the loss OF
one series and two which were tied.
Forty EIGHT victories and thirty-one
defeats put them where they are.
The athletes are playing top-speed
baseball. Jack Lelivelt has done a
swell job of managing up there.
And the players are 100 per cent
for the big boss, Emil G.. Sick.

grass here and a baked clay spot
there, give the effect of worn out,
cheap, fur coat. Dust flies after
half the shots and the balls take
strange, fantastic bounces. Scarce
ly a game has been played without
one of the players taking time out
to stomp down ragged divot.
Unfit grass is nothing new to our
championships. The courts were
only $3.50 at Longwood last week,
and many final round has been
played at Forest Hills on turf that
a starved jackass would scorn.
Even if our turf courts were per-
feet they still wouldn't be the pro-
per medium for play in this coun-
try. Just stop and think. Nine of
ten of our fine players come from
out west where cement and clay
courts are all they have. Then they
come east, section OF the country
that has a stranglehold on all the
major championships, and are
greeted by strange surface. There
is only one thing for them to dc
if they want to win a national title
or come close to wining one-ad'
just their games to grass. This takes
lot of adjusting, because the
bounce is entirely different or
grass.
When a game is as universally
played as tennis, it seems to me
that there should be universe

up wooden logs, or the ashes of ole
love letters.

GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB,
Philadelphia, Sept. 5. (UP)-Stale,
and sick of the whole business, j.
Donald Bulge. breadwinner of Am
erican amateur tennis, made ready
today TO meet Adrian Quist, Aus
tralian stylist in the fourth and
perhaps decicing match of the Dav-
is Cup challenge round.
The world amateur king, vino was
beaten in doubles yesterday in one
of two matches scheduled fol-
mis- year. viii meet Quist in the first
two singles matches scheduled fol-
this afternoon. On form he should
beat the stocky Australian, and
thus give the United States the vic
tory which would keep the cup il

many, before the match who be
lieved that Budge's slump mighe re-
suit in a triumph for Quist.
Bobby Riggs, the Davis CUP
rookie who beat Quist in the first
match OF the conn etition Satur-
day, will take on Jack Bromwich
in today's second singles match.
Bromwich turned in a stunning
demonstration yesterday TO dom
mate the doubles match in which
the Australian pair upset Bulge and
Gene Mako in what may well be
called the years outstanding re-
versal of tennis form. A scant week
ago Bulge and Mako walloped
Bromwich and Quist 6-3,6-26-1 in
the final round of the United
States Doubles Championship at
Brookline, Mass. Yesterdays scores
were 0-6, 6-2, GA, 6-3.
But yesterday tae Australians
were different men. They were
volleying fools; quick as frightened
cats, and teamed together with such
deft precision that for the firs'
time since reaching the pinnacle OF
amateur tennis, Bulge was not the
center of attraction.
