 Another dramatic moment was fostered when Levy shouted to Mo- Donough, concerning his fears of prosecution, T have no fears, Mir. McDonough. I'm here to tell the truth
 No Fear of Prosecution

The Montgomery County Baseball
League got off to flying start Sun
day, May Il with some very fine base
bali. Dickerson beat out Takoma
Tigers 5 to T. Dronenburg, pitching
for Dickerson, seemed TO be able to
keep Takoma Sluggers from punching
their hits in all except one inning.
Next in line came the Colesyille :
Rockville game. In this game Morgan,
of Colesville, on the mound was just
too much for the Rockville boys.
Morgan allowed only two hits and
struck out fifteen Rockville boys
which is something to talk about.
Even at this early date Elmer Hutch
inson pitched remarkable ball for
Rockville, allowing Colesville eight
hits. So when you consider Hutchin-
son is really short stop and can
hold Frank Valdenar's sluggers to s
hits, the Rockville fans really have
something to be proud of. Final score:
ColesvilIe 4, Rockville 0.
Now we are at Garrett Park dia-
mond where the Kensington Club took
the measure of Market Pharmacy by
the score of 8 to 8. This started off
to be somewhat of pitchers duel be-
tween Schneider of Kensington. and
Price of Market Pharmacy. Each team
scored one in the second inning and
they stayed this way until the sixth
when Kensington punched hits
coupled with walk and error, which
paved the way to victory.

PARIS, Aug. 25:-The French to-
day urged Poland to give Germany
no excuse for charging maltreatment
of Germans in Poland and to avoid
any action that might serve as a
pretext for border incidents.
Italian quarters in Paris reported
that French initiative had been
taken after the French Ambassador
at Rome, Andre Francois Poncet
had approached Foreign Minister
Count Galeazzo Ciano yesterday to
find if Italy could warn Germany
to take no further steps against
the Poles because it might lead to
war.
Ciano, these Italian quarters indi-
Gated, told Poncet that France had
best approach the Poles, which was
done.
Another report was heard in

Premier Pierre Laval, who nego-
tiated the 1885 French Italian ac-
cord with Benito Mussolini, left yes

The 1885 accord was unilaterally
denounced by Italy in January.

corridors was that Laval had gone
to negotiate again, but neither more

the report could be obtained.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Britain took

been exerted under great pressure In

lowed a zgzag pattern which came

Under the 1896 tripartite agree
ment Britain, France and the United
States agreed to prevent extreme
fluctuations in their currencies. The
unfavorable trade balance prompted
in part by rearmament imports has
made Britain desire to depreciate
the pound in terms of dollars, but
the United States has been reported
firmly against such a step.

operations of the United States
