President Plays Totalitarian 

WASHINGTON, March 4 P0- Roosevelt served not ice that the United States will not be passive and silent about the persecution of religion in lands where democracy has been out. Instead, he told con- gress, plus a host of foreign pow CT representatives, that the na- ton will seek by every peace ful means to keep religious and personal freedom alive.
 He addressed a joint session of the Senate and House in com memoration of the first congress s;onal session l50 years ago and denounced the return to the world in recent years, the forms of government which for 2,000 years proved their tyranny and instability.
 President Roosevelt said; "A representative democracy will never tolerate the suppression of true news at the behest of a government where democracy has been snuffed out, and the peo ple's right to worship God in ones own way abrogated.' y

English Ring Fans Hope
Henry Beats Briton
BY JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, May 18 (NA.N.A)-
Henry Armstrong, they say, is the
toast Of London. He is the first
Negro ever to be elected to the
National Sporting Club, and the
fancy, as British fight bugs describe
themselves, is afraid OF only one
thing-that Henry, polite and re-
fined, will be brutally beaten by
their own welterweight contender,
the ruffianly Ernest Roderick, when
the boys meet for the title on May
Is.
The fancy, to be sure, never has
seen Henry fight This popular poet,
quiet and almost deaConly outside
the ring, is something else again
when he stalks his professional prey,
and probably will dump Mr.. Rod
erick head over heels in the sixth
round, with the most unrefined bat
terry Of punches that England ever
saw.
Admitting that his left hand is
damaged, and that low blows are
penalized harshly abroad, Henry
still has enough stuff in his right
hand. delivered north Of the equator,
to devastate dozen Roderichs.

Setup Of Star Meet
Unchanged, May 80
Picked as Date
Postponement Is Boon
To Champion Began
And Other Aces

There will be no change in the
original setup Of the first annual
Evening Star track and field meet,
postponed from rainy May 13. it was
determined today following meet
ing of the District A. A U. at the
Jewish Community Center.
May 80 as the new date for the
meet was settled upon and Byrd
Stadium at the University of Mary
land retained as the site.
For number of athletes the post
ponement came as a boon, notably
to George Began, defending cham
pion in the sprints. whose training,
due to pressure of study, had been
limited. Began now expects to be
in virtually prime shape for the CEN
tury and 220, in which his principal
rivals will be Maryland's Joe Murphy
and Georgetown's Morty Alnwick.
Due to holiday trips, several
changes will be made in the list of
officials. These will be announced
shortly by J. Kip Edwards, referee.
In the meantime the trackmen
have plenty to occupy them. The
schoolboys are steamed up over the
annual c Club meet Saturday at
Central Stadium, Maryland's squad
leaves today for Chapel Hill, N. c.,
for the Southern Conference meet
tomorrow and Saturday and Catholic
U. looks to the Dixie Conference at
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore Satur-
day.
Georgetown's cinderpathers. with
no competition at hand, are bearing
down in practice.

For Saturday
Maryland Netmen Also
Visit as Midshipmen
Tune for Cadets

ANNAPOLIS. May 18.-Virginia
in baseball and track, Pennsylvania
in lacrosse, Maryland in tennis and
the University of Baltimore in golf
Saturday will be the last opponents
of the Navy before its teams meet the
Army a week later in all of these
sports.
The service schools now meet in
an even dozen sports, and of these
in which contests have taken place
this academic year, the Army. has
won six, football, soccer, cross
country. basket ball, swimming and
gymnastics, and the Navy has won
only in fencing.
1t would, therefore, require a
clean sweep for the Navy on May ,27
to put the series even for the year.
Last year the Navy won in baseball,
lacrosse and track, losing only in
tennis.
On the record odds favor the
Navy this year in lacrosse and track.
while neither nine has played up to
its usual standard. Navy has i'm
proved greatly in tennis but prob
ably is somewhat behind the Army
while the golf match will be the
first between the teams.
Baseball and track will be at West
Point and lacrosse, tennis and golf
at Annapolis.

Hornsby Doing Swell
Job RehabiIitatinu
Baltimore Club
Toil-enders Lost Year,
Orioles Now in Thick
Of Pennont Fight ,
By the Associated Press.


1t being the long established habit
Of flowers to bloom in the spring,
this should be an auspicious sea-
son was handing out bouquets
Without further ado, therefore, a
special handful of posies hereby is
turned over to Rogers Hornsby
manager of the practically unrecog-
nizable Baltimore Orioles of the In
ternational League.
Hornsby, after serving as coach
and pinch-hitter in 1898, signed to
pilot the club at the end of last sea-
son. Immediately the "Rajah" and
General Manager Jack Ogden went
to work on the job of rebuilding
the team. That they did a good lob
is becoming more and more appar-
ent, for you'd hardly know last year S
tall-end team up there today, half
a game behind the league-leading
Jersey City Giants.
The Orioles have been moving
along with percentage building speed
and, with big Jim Reninger back
from the Athletics to lend helping
hand to the pitching staff, they
should be hard team to beat.
1t was Reningers shit pitch
ing against the Toronto Maple Leafs
yesterday which was responsible for
the Orioles jumping from fourth to
second. Jim dewned the Leafs, 5-1
in the last half of a double-header
after Jack Using and Gene Davis
had combined to take the open
er. 4-3.
