by the most distinguished scholars,
statesmen and heroes of our own
and other countries have passed its
portals to do her homage, and it is
now fittingly owned and occupied
by the Cosmos Club, who may well
regard their possession with pride,
pleasure and as source Of inspira-
ton, as their ownership certainly
is cause Of great consolation and
congratulations from all her sur
viying relatives"
In religion, Mrs. Madison original
ly belonged to the Friends, but after
the death Of President Madison, and
when she returned to Washington,
she was baptized at st. Johns Epis-
copal Church, at Sixteenth and H
streets NV, and here she was con-
firmed by Bishop Wittingham and
became q communicate Of this
church. When she died at her Mad
ison place home, on July II, 1849,
her funeral took place from Old st.
Johns. Her last words are said to
have been: There Is nothing in
this world worth caring for" or, as
the Ecclesiastes would put it: Il
have seen all the works that are
under the sun, and, behold, all Is
vanity and vexation of spirit"
Tayloe House Famous.
Aside from the Dolly Madison
home, the most famous of the early
buildings still standing on Madison
place opposite Lafayette Park, is
the Tayloe house, on the north side
of the alley that separates it from
the Belasco Theater. It was erected
in 1928 by Benjamin Ogle Tayloe,
son of Col John Tayloe, said to be
the wealthiest Virginian Of his day,
who built the Octagon House at
New York avenue and Eighteenth
street, which for time served as
the temporary White House follow
ing the burning Of the public build
ings here on August "a, 1914, and not
1924" as the marker there, or re-
Gently there, would have you believe.
John Tayloe was fond of blooded
horses and was one of those re-
sponsible for founding the Holmead
race course, which had its center
about at the intersection of Four
teenth street and Columbia road. He
was an early owner of the tract of
land known as Petworth, one of
Washington's largest subdivisions,
and here he grazed his horses,
trained them and tried out their
speed.
Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, the son
who occupied the Madison place
house, was a man of fine attain
ments and was highly regarded as
a representative citizen of Wash
ington. He was a Whig in politics,
we are told, and was friendly with
men of all parties, enjoying the re-
spect Of every one" He was the first
president of the Association of the
Oldest Inhabitants of the District
of Columbia, and served until his
death in 1868.

Urges Closer Tie-ups

DoviIo Says Uncle Sam

First Time in Century
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Carlos
Davila, former President of Chile,
said last night that Uncle Sam is
popular in Latin America for the
first time In 100 years."
Speaking with Assistant United
States Secretary of State A. A.
Berle on Americas Town Meeting
of the Air program over the National
Broadcasting Co. blue network, Mr..
Davila urged closer economic and
military cooperation between the
United States and other nations of
the Western Hemisphere, because
"all Latin American nations are
wholly in accord with good neighbor
policies"
He proposed particularly adoption
of the 'Davila plan," which provides
for the setting up of corporations
with mixed United States and Latin
American capital to develop Latin
American non-competitive enter
prises.
Mr.. Berle reviewed steps taken 1Or
defense of the Western Hemisphere
and concluded that "the United
States is safe so long as no overseas
aggressive power gains a foothold
or can establish a base in the New
World"
by propaganda and diplomatic
means the totalitarian countries
tried to break up the Lima and
Havana conferences" Mr.. Berle
added, land success of these is a
great victory for us.
"I think peaceful cooperation
between independent countries has
never gone so far as in this, the
American family of nations. 1t is
the pattern of our Western World.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, September 10. - (UP) The one thing that a real sports champion must have is what is loosely referred to as the "killer m- Stinct".
 Somewhere in his makeup he must have virus that renders him incapable of mercy, makes him scornful of easing up in order to save his opponent from humiliation He must be ready at all times to press his advantage to the hilt, to persecute with every ounce of his strength an opponent who blocks his path.
 Bobby Riggs doesn't have this in born urge to destroy, and that's the chief reason why he still isn't the National Tennis Singles cham pion today. He had Don McNeill pinned down like butterfly in the final round at forest hills yester- day. But, with the Oklahoma City boy at his mercy, Riggs softened. Knowingly or unknowingly. Bobby sought to spare his rival the frus- tration of straight set defeat be- fore 10000 persons in the West Side stadium.
 In the same spot a Tilden never would have done the same. Neither would a Budge or Perry or a Vines. Any of these champions would have leapt to the kill and rolled on over a bewildered Mo Neill.

Campbell, Sullivan Play Havoc With Tribe In Detroit

Cleveland, Sept 10. Former Indians haven't tossed posies in the path of the pennant conscious Cleveland club.
 Joe Heving went the route in deal ing the Tribe its only reverse on its last visit iii Boston.
 Steve Sundra let the Redskins down with six hits in New York won his own game with a two-run single in the seventh.
 Bill Knickerbocker drove in the winning run in the ninth to give the Yankees a clean sweep.
 Buddy Myer, who was Cleve- land property as far back as 1925, tripled with the bases full to turn back the Tribe in Washington.
 Bruce Campbell's two singles and home run inside the park helped to repulse Bob Teller and give the crippled Tigers a run ming start in Detroit.

 This engagement became a rout when, in the ensuing round, Billy Sullivan tripled off Joe Dobson to chase Hank Greenberg and Rudy York across the plate. Sullivan hoofed it across the plat ltm- ?u hoofed it home with the 11th run on Tebbetts' fly.
 Sullivan, who wasn't rated too highly as catcher in Cleveland but who found himself as Bo-Bo Newsom's battery mate, once more proved his versatility by filling in for the ailing Pinkey Higgins at third base.
 With Barney McCoskey out, Earl Averill, long hero in Cleveland, played center field for Detroit when the series began.
 HEINRICH FIGURES IN
 YANKEES LATE DRIVE
 While Cleveland is indebted to Chicago for it's lofty position, one- time Indians now with the White Sox have caused considerable an- noyance all the way along the route-little Skeeter Webb, Moose Solters, Thornton Lee and Clint Brown, the relief worker.
 Tommy Heinrich, whom Cyril Slapnicka. general manager of the Indians, kept in the minors until he was declared a free agent by Judge Landis, has played an im- portant role in the Yankees late surge.

But Riggs didn't. With the first set his, and with lead of 5-1, 40-15 in the second, he slackened his pace. He thought he was in, and that a successful defense of his title was assured. But the butterfly, thank full for a reprieve, began to squirm. Given chance to gather his shat tered forces, McNeill moved to the attack and swept five straight games to lead 6-5. Riggs finally won the set at 8-6, but that marked the end of his mastery.
 McNeill dug in and swept through the next three sets against a Riggs who, try as he might, simply could not regain the precise touch with which he had started the game.
 There can be no criticism of how Riggs took his defeat, however. It was a tough blow, particularly in view of the fact that a victory was what he needed to launch his career in professional tennis. But he did not whimper.
 "Shucks," he said, T've won a devil of lot of close ones, so I guess it was my time to lose tough one"
 AS for the new champion, Mc- Neill, there is no higher type of boy in sports. Not since he first came out of the west has there ever been a criticism of his behavior on or off the court.
 Moreover, he has the game that goes with the title of champion.

HAS GREAT COURAGE TN TITLE CONTEST
Loses First Two Sets Then Beats Riggs for Chafrl-

 Forest Hills, N. r., September 10 -(UP) On the left side of mans body deep beneath his ribs is fist- sized chunk of meat called heart. To most men it is just so much flesh and gristle aid never means anything. But there are few to whom a heart is something from which to draw courage and strength when the going gets weary and rough.
 One of these few is tow-headed, stubborn youngster who was born on the fringe of the dust bowl near Oklahoma City. His name is now McNeill and today under the grand stand of the Forest Hill Stadium it was carved on long slab of stone as the man who is the greatest ten- his player America has produced in this year of 1940.
 About 430 p. m. yesterday there were 10000 people in that stadium and not more than 10 of them sert- ously believed the name of Don Mo- Neill ever would be cut into the plaque. McNeill at the time was trailing two sets and one game to defending Champion Robert Riggs of Chicago and all but handful of spectators believed the national championships were over. Just an hour and half later all 10000 were on their feet and cheering boy to whom a heart was more than just a device for pumping blood. Even when he got to the front and needed each point desperately, he gave final, conclusive demor1- stration of what it takes to make a champ. It was in the 18th game of the fifth set and McNeil was with in four strokes of prize for which he had been working for five long years. Riggs served and won the point on a lob but the umpire ruled the defender had touched the net with his foot and gave McNeil the advantage at 15-o.
 Riggs protested and McNeill pleaded to have the point played over. He was waved back and told to continue. He did. The first ball Riggs sent over the net McNeill de- liberately smashed to the fence, sac- rificing a point that meant more than anyone except player could realize. From there on he ran out the set and match 4-6, 6-8, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 to take the crown, proving again that old adage which tells us man may be down and never out.
 While Riggs failed to defend his mems title, Alic Marble of San Francisco won the woman's crown for the third time without even calling on half her ability. She whipped out a quick, 6-2, 6-3, tri- umph over the fading Helen Huh Jacobs of Berkeley, Calf, who won the same title four times herself in another era. The match was dull as the mems encounter was thrilling,
 Miss Marble played under wraps throughout, still Miss Jacobs could not match her. It was the 28th con- secutive victory for the blonde Cali fornian.

.J..DYKES WHITE .SOX SCORE VERY
 SWEET REVENGE
Knock Indians Out of First Place in "CIutch" Game;
 Yanks Ready
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press staff Correspondent

United Press stan Correspondent)
 New York, Sept. 10-(UP)-The Cleveland Indians have bid adieu to first place-maybe for keeps.
 With the chips down the In- dians couldn't protect their lead yesterday against the team that has proved the softest touch in the league for them. They lost to the White Sox, 2-1, and enabled the idle Detroit Tigers to automatic ally move into the American League stronghold. Previously they had licked the White Sox 16 times in 21 games but when a must" game came along the Tribe couldn't mus ter the ammunition to win it.
 Maybe the sight of the New York Yankees in the stands as spectators made Cleveland's "team of mutiny" SO nervous it couldn't concentrate on the business at hand on the field. The Tanks, waiting for the opening of today's vital 2-game series, drop- ped in to pay the Indians a social visit. It wasn't time wasted for the Tanks as they picked up half game on the Indians as gift and now trail them by only half game. However, the Tanks are still one game behind Detroit. If they can lick Bullet Bob Teller today, the Tanks will move into second place. And if the Tigers should lose, the Bronx Bombers can take over first place in big swoop.
 To Jimmy Dykes, the most vio- lent Cleveland hater in the league, fell the honor of busting what he so endearings calls '"The Rats" from first place. Since the mutiny of June 13, Dykes has been the In- dians' severest critic but he hasn't had much fun popping of because Cleveland has belted the White Sox's ears of. But the joy of knocking the Indians of the top perch is enough to swell Dykes cup of revenge to overhowing.
 Thornton Lee, an ex-Cleveland southpay who has lost four out of six games to the Indians previously this season, pitched a superb game yesterday. He allowed the Tribe only four hits, and yielded only one blow in the first six innings.
 The Giants did the Reds a good turn when they bumped off the Dodgers, 7-4, and built Cincinnati's lead back to seven games. Hal Schumacher survived a rough first inning, in which the Dodgers clouted him for three runs and five hits, and went on to win his 18th triumph.
 The Terymen, winning their fifth game in 19 starts against the Dodgers, clouted Tamulis, Head and Carleton for IA hits. Mel Ott drove in three runs with a double and single.
 Only Dodger to profit by the de- feat was Dixie Walker, who ram med out five hits in five trips, to hoist his batting average seven points and increase his lead in the National League batting race to seven points over Stanley Hack of the Cubs.
 No other games were played.
