ers. This will have such a salutary
effect that DR.. Albert S. Cook, State
Superintendent, has assured Governor
O'Conor that the legislation of the
last three months is the most construc
tive and beneficial ever to be accom-
plished for the schools in our State.
Another progressive method pro-
posed by the Governor during his cam
paign, and now approved, creates the
new Legislative Council, which pro-
vides for continuing consideration of
legislation by selected leaders of the
two branches of the General Assem-
bly,. They will meet at intervals be-
tween sessions to carry on the study
of new proposals, so that the General
Assembly will be able to keep abreast
of continually changing developments
on every front.
Other constructive legislation In
cludes:
A modernized system Of medical
examiners to replace the Anticipated
Coroner SYSTEM
Reorganization Of the Veterans
Commission to reduce overhead and
thus increase the amounts available
for deserving veterans:-
Needed improvements in the Elec-
ton I.aws:-
A Potomac River Commission to
handle questions affecting reciprocal
rights between Maryland and Virgin
ia:-
Provision for Public School sur
vey of the State, and many others.
These have fulfilled almost COM
pletely the platform pledges of the
Democratic Party regarding legisla-
ton, Governor O'Conor contends. The
remaining pledges, he says, the ma
jority of which have to do with ad-
ministrative features, will be fulfilled
as soon as possible.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 2l.-
Washington's hopes of capturing the
tennis singles championship in the
Middle Atlantic women's tourna-
ment were vested in the slim and
capable parsonage of Margot Lee to-
day as two other District women
were eliminated in the quarter-flnal
round. Miss Lee was to meet Ann
Dayett this morning for the fourth
seml-flnal berth.
Barbara Conard and Charlotte
Decker, both from the Nations Capt.
tai, bowed out in straight sets yes

phia, seeded No. /. eliminated Miss
Conard in love sets, while Barbara
Strobhar, also from the Quaker City
nailed Miss Decker by identical
scores of 6-3.
Miss Lee rules a slight favorite
over Miss Dayett. but faces a size
able task in disposing of the Balti-
more girl. They are seeded third
and fifth, respectively. The winner
was slated to meet Edith Clarke in
the semifinal round at pm.
Washington's chances of sharing
in doubles honors almost vanished
yesterday as Miss Lee and her part
| ner, Mrs. c. E. Rhett, defaulted to
Mrs. Fisher and M. Fleishman, while
Miss Conard, paired with Mrs.
Prltchard, succumbed to Charlotte

By the Associated Press.


BROOKLINE, Mass. July al
Young Bobby Low of Stanford, who
has made Longwood Bowl tourna-
ment officials blink twice over his
harsh treatment of seeded players,
hopes to make them vince today
when he engages Adrian Quist, the
Australian Davis Cup tennis star, in
a semi-final match.
If the youngster should succeed
as he did against such favorites as
Gil Hunt of Washington and Dave
Freeman, the national junior cham
pion, it seemed likely the club
officials would be reduced to tears,
for they. with an eye on big Sum-
day gate" want Quist available for
the final against either Gene Mako,
top-seeded in this tourney, or Jack
Crawford, Quist's teammate. who
tangle in the other semi-flnal to-
morrow. :
Low has been red-hot this week,
but not to such a degree that he
can be rated as anywhere near on
even terms with Australia S seasoned
internationalist.
The only other mems matches on
today's program were semi-flnals
doubles affair between Gene Mako
and Frank Parker. who appeared to
have United States Davis Cup berths
clinched, and Johnny Doeg and
Gardnar Mulloy. and a quarter
final clash between Quist and Craw-
ford and Norman Bickel and Frank
Froehling Of Chicago.
The women's division, however,
was scheduled to reduce itself to
the finals. In the singles competi-
ton Katherine Winthrop of Boston
vies against Mary Arnold of Los
Angeles, and Pauline Betz, the ma
tional indoor titlist, engages Helen
Bernhard of New York, who won

Record Speed for Johnstown
Seen Eosy Possibility.

Johnstown. the comet of the track,
has had workouts close to worlds
record time. There are many who
believe that Mr.. Woodward's flying
horsefesh could have broken the
record for the mile at least twice, if
pressed.
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons secretly
believes the same thing, but Sunny
Jim is too canny to start scrambling
for the end of any limb. He hasn't
let his masterpiece take any hard
pressing, for he knows the danger OF
record speed.
I recall once talking with Charley
Paddock along these lines. The
Fastest Human, at that time, told
me that on two occasions down the
stretch he felt that he could run the
century in close to nine seconds.
But each time he said, Il felt
the strain on ligaments piling up and
was afraid to run the risk of any
extra effort"
More than a few experts believe
that Johnstown on a fast track can
beat 1:34 for the mile. He may
equal this mark tomorrow at Airing
ton.

fense of the international trophy.
Grant Has Edge.
Hunt and Grant have met once,
Grant winning in five sets. And they
say the l2-10 score of the deciding
set represents the evenness of the
two.
But whether Hunt and Grant can
be considered Davis Cup material,
the meeting will present two of the
most contrasting netmen who ever
faced each other across local net.
Grant, noted for a never say die"
spirit, has thrilled the country's ten
mis- fans time and again with his
uphill fights over some of the world
greatest players. Hunt. equally not

can-when in the mood-produce
