Open Net Title Tilt Looms
In W0n,en's Section of Stars
City of Washington Tourney

Washington this year have been
responsible for much of the success Of
the st. Adams team They are
Maurice Cowan and Taylor Chewing,
natives of Washington and Edgemoor,
and Reggie Cooper, former boys
champion Of Bermuda. Cooper did not
play yesterday, but the other two
scored singles victories in their teams
SO whitewash of Landon.
Cooper was not eligible for The Star
tournament last year, as he had just
come here from Bermuda, but he has
been enrolled at st. Adams since last
September and promises to make his
presence felt. The protege Of Col.
John McClintock, the man in charge
of the U. S. L. T. AS Junior Develop
ment Committee, Cooper probably can
match his tennis with that Of any boy
in the city. Indeed, he may find his
biggest obstacle in a teammate, as
CoWan must rank as one Of the main
contenders for the boys crown.
Cups Likely for Boys.
In this regard 1t might be fitting to
observe here that The Star is consider
ing the awarding Of cups to the junior
and boys champions such as now go to
the winners of the mems and women's
tournaments. In a way, the young
sters might appreciate them more.
Not only might they prove the first
cups in long court career, but also
the youngsters reception might not be
as blase as that of the seniors, to whom
cups might be an old story.
Woodrow Wilson's team stepped out
Of its high school class yesterday to
pin 81 defeat on the American Uni
versity freshman team. Jack Hoyt,
usually good all-around player, was
the only Wilson player to lose Will
sons singles victories were annexed by
Walden, McNaughton, Thompson and
Doggett. while Doggett and Walden

SALISBURY RULING
'SH0 LEAGUE AGAIN
Has Taken Seven Straight Since
Dropping 0pener-Strong on
Slab, Hits in Pinches.

By the Associated Press.
Sporting seven-game winning
streak. the Salisbury Indians are
dominating the Eastern Shore League
pennant race at this stage just like
the wonder team" that copped the
1887 flag.
The Indians are a game and a half
out in front of the pack and haven't
been defeated since losing the season S
opener to Easton by one run.
Good pitching and the ability to
produce runs when needed have
marked the Indians play thus far;
and that was the secret of Salisbury s
success last year.
After losing the opener to Easton,
the Indians took the Browns into
camp next day. They have met and
defeated every team in the league ex-
cept the hustling little Giants of Mil
ford.

seen Dutch Leonard, Pete Appleton,
Kelley and Elon Hogsett take Ickings
from the enemy batsmen. Yesterday
they saw Chase walk himself right out
of the ball park.
These are anxious days for Harris
and. back home, for Owner Clark
Griffith. The Senators are not a bad
ball club, outside Of the pitching,
and it follows that only a trade will
remedy the situation. There Is no
doubt but what Griffith has some irons
in the fire, but whether he can swing
trade before the deadline on June IS
is another matter.
Added to the hurting headache is
the inability Of Bonura to get started
at bat. Big Zeke had fine hitting
spree on opening day, but thereafter
he has been far below par If you
want the sad news in cold figures,
Bonura has made only five hits in his
last "a times at bat. In other words,
he is batting the inglorious figure OF
LAT for Washington's last eight
games.
Going deeper into the horrible de-
tails, Zeke has driven into four double
plays In the last three days and broken
up no less than four rallies as result.
De Shong Tries to Break Spell.
With his back to the wall, Harris
today nominated Jimmy De Shong to
face the Bengals in the second game
of the Detroit SERIES Jimmy has been
fairly successful against the Tigers in
recent years but he hardly can be
rated a gilt-edged certainty to break
the Washington losing streak. De
Shong has gone to the post three times
as a starter this year and on each
occasion he was driven from the box,
although twice he was credited with
victory.
Still Jimmy hardly can fare worse
than Messrs. Chase, Kohlman and
Phebus. After driving Chase to the
showers yesterday the Tigers put on
three-run inning against Kohlman
and built up nice, substantial 5-to-0
lead.
In the sixth inning Buddy Lewis hit
home run with a man on base to
cut the score to SO, but Rudy York
homered with the bases loaded in De-
troits half Of the sixth, when Phebus
was pitching, and the score was boost
ed to 80. In the seventh inning, with
Phebus still pitching, they scored four
more runs.
Lewis, Giuliani Look Good.
Vernon Kennedy did the Detroit
pitching. going the route to win his
fifth game. Vernon gave up only seven
hits but he wasn't that good II the
Griffs had received any kind of pitch
ing they could have driven Kennedy
to cover.
With the score at 1872 against them,
the Griffs put on a big inning in the
eighth. Here they scored i've runs and
might have added even more but for
some silly base-running by Goose Cos
lin.
It didn't make much difference,
however, for the Tigers were too far
ahead to be overhauled. About the
only consolation that Skipper Harris
got out of the afternoon was the big
batting display put on by Lewis and
the impressive showing Of Angelo
Giuliani, the econd-string catcher.
Giuliani, making his first appear
ance this year, relieved Rick Ferren
and slammed screaming single with
the bases loaded in that eight-innine
rally. In fact the blow gave Harris
an idea. You may be hearing more o1

Buddy is packing more power than

New Slogan Is 'Arousing the Masses Is
More important Than Battles

blamed for the loss of Canton, and
Gen. Chang Chih-chung, the de-
fender of Shanghai who was held
responsible for premature destruc-
tive fire at Changsha.
One Of Chiang's major military
problems was to draft a defense
against a threatened large-scale
Japanese campaign to the west and
north of Canton.
The Japanese commander at Can
ton was quoted by Domei, Japanese
news agency, as saying 100000 men
were assembled there. Neutral
sources placed the Japanese
strength in South China at about
10000.
Dispatches from Chungking
China's PROVISIONAL capital, quoted
Chang as stating China was more
confident of ultimate victory now
than at any time since the war
started.
He stressed the failure of Jap
anese to capture Nanchang and
Changsha, two vital military posi-
tions south of Hankow, in the strug-
gle which in 18 months cost China
her great cities, most of her railway
lines and ports, and nearly all of
China that is important in trade
and commerce.

KWEILIN, China, Dec. 15.-Gen-
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek was
disclosed yesterday to have swung
toward the political tactics of Chi
nese Communists in a new program
to combat the Japanese invasion.
Officers at this South China mill
tary headquarters in KWangsi Prov
ince disclosed that Chang had
summoned political-military con-
ference in furtherance of the new
program, which was announced to
the military staff three weeks ago.
One purpose of the conference, to
be held at Chungking, was re-
ported to be to purge the govern
ment Of "defeatist elements" before
embarking on the second phase of
the war-hit-and-run attacks on
Japanese forces throughout occu-
pied territory.
Similar to Reds Tactics.
Chiang's new political program,
which he characterized in the slo-
gan "Arousing the masses is more
important than battles" was SINH
lar in many respects to tactics used
by the North China Communists he
had fought against before the war
started, on July Z, 1887.
1t embraced rapid organization
of farm unions, mass education
and mobilization of guerrilla armies
IN the Yangtze Valley similar to
those of the Communists to the
north.
Previously Chang had frowned on
all Communist and other mass ap-
peals.
The new policy was said to have
been formed after Chang talked to
British Ambassador Sir Archibald
Clark Kerr in mid November. Then
he was reported to have told the
envoy that unless British policies
were changed to permit aid to China
he would turn elsewhere.
At that time the generalissimo also
talked to representatives of Soviet
Russia and was said to have planned
conferences with French and Amer
ican ENJOYS.
Command Reshuff1ed.
Members of Chiang's staff con-
flrmed reports that at recent con-

reshuff1ing of the military command

Holiday Trade Reported

Secretary Of Commerce Roper said
yesterday that data on sales Of
jewelry, household furnishings and
general merchandise indicated dollar
value sales were as high or higher
than during the fairly good holiday
trade of year ago. Because prices
are lower this year, he added, the
actual number of items sold is far

tary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association, said that, al
though he has no figures available
on the holiday trade in Washington,

For Tydings

In The Washington Times
of August "a Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean, in My Say, writes:
SIT is up to the voters of
Maryland to choose between a
man David Lewis) who knows
the world and has taken many
a hard knock and a man mil
lard Tydings) who has unlim-
tied money back Of him and
knows little, and cares less, in
my opinion, about what hap
pens to the man of the street"
Baloney!
Mrs. Mclean is a Socialite,
meaning one versed and expert
enced in sub-deb tea parties;
not a politician, meaning one
versed in the science Of govern
ment.
The issue which faces the
Maryland voters is not one Of
personalities. Lewis versus
Tydings. A he-man versus
mammy's darling. An ignorant
man versus an educated man.
A poor man versus a high-hat.
The issue which faces them
is the same issue which faces
all voters of the U. S. Novem-
ber 8 next. In essence it is
the same issue that faced Wash
ington and his ignorant, poor,
rich and educated men at Val
ley Forge. Ditto, Lincoln and
his men at Gettysburg. Ditto,
the Unknown Soldier and his
comrades in the Argonne.
That issue is simple and
clear-cut and needs no myth
cal Philadelphia lawyer to
analyze it. Namely, the pres
ervation of human rights. liber-
ties and freedom.
A vote for Tydings is a vote
for the preservation Of consti-
tutional democracy which we've
had in U. S. since the adoption
Of the Constitution.
A vote for Lewis is a vote for
dictatorship, a one-man govern
ment, exemplified by Germany,
Russia and Italy.
Said the late-lamented Bris-
bane: History attests to the
fact. once you start down the
road of dictatorship, you must
go to the end of the road and
take its fruition."

tellectual honesty and clear
logic of your editorial Of Satur-
day, August 27, 1888.
If anything has demonstrated
the defenselessnesS Of Tydings'
senatorial conduct, it has been
his utter inability to explain and
rationalize his adverse votes
upon the various measures de-
signed to improve the condition
of the country as a whole.
The fact that he has reSorted
to age-old creeds to divert at
tention from the real issues has
certainly not served to sustain
previous support Of his candi-
dacy among earnest, thinking
persons, nor to gain new sup
port thereof.
In attempting to create an
emotional resentment on the
part of Maryland voters upon
the false cry Of unwarranted
intrusion in State affairs. he
has stopped to the cheap trick

lawyer who. representing the
wrong side OF q case, cunningly
directs the jury's attention to

Anyone can see that a Presi'

which he is entitled from his
