There is a new strain in the re- .Iaticns between Russia and the Scandinavian neutrals
 A Soviet broadcast from Moscow asserted that the reduction in the Swedish Public Works and Social Welfare programs, as announced last week by King Gustaf V has forced the unemployed to enlist for Finland aid and given promise of good wages.
 The broadcast also stated that both Norway and Sweden. although neutral are violating the neutral rights by permitting enlistments in the fighting forces of Finland, also allowing war material to pass through the two nations for Fin land.
 King Gustaf attributed reduc- tions on Public Works and Social Welfare are necessary because of the large war budget for defense. Both nations deny the Russian charges they are giving official sanction of sending men to aid Finland but tho Kremlin said the Swedish and Norwegian replies are absolutely unsa atisfactory.
 Both Sweden and Narway made emphatic protest today to Moscow because of 'vioolation" of their ter ritory by Russian fliers.
 Soviet war planes have made bomb attack on Swedish islands and also flown over Northern Norway but did not drop any bombs.

LP-Harry Haverstick of Swarth-
more appeared to have the 1910
National Collegiate A. A. golf
championship in his grasp today

That Swarthmore senior, who
eliminated Stewart (Skippy) Alex

will engage F. Dixon Brooke of
Virginia in tomorrow's North

Brooke went four over a CO.
ing SO holes with Cary Middlecoff
of Mississippi, who bowed out OF
the quarter-finals, 8 and 2, and
Eddie Foy of Holy Cross, his 2 and
1 victim.
Much of Haverstick's success was
due to his deadly chipping. He
also raped in hole-winning puts
up to 20 feet. The Swarthmore star
was down only onc during the
day, to Alexander, but he wiped
out that southerner's two-hole mar
gin by birdie-ing the ninth and
10th holes. After regaining the
advantage with winning threes on
the 18th and 18th he remained in
front.
Brooke was even par for his Ii

three down at the turn,
the Cavaliers game tapered

was forced to trail Foy by a

Only once did the Beaufort nine
threaten. In the seventh stanza the
visitors garnered three hits and aid

two runs.
Eddie Lowell, hurting for the BUGS,
gave up no hits at all until the sev.
enth, when at least two of the three
hits credited to the Beaufort boys
should have been turned into put
outs. In the eighth inning he gave
up one more safety to make his
total four for the night.
For awhile in the seventh stanza
1t looked al though the Pirates
would blow up and lose a ball game
which had been theirs all the way,
but they finally settled down to re-
tire the side and were fairly stable
after that.

Dodgers a 2 to 1 victory over the
Boston Bees in an eight-inning game
halted by rain.
The Dodgers star highlander held
the Bees to five hits and struck out
six in achieving his seventh triumph
of the year.
Erickson was just as effective ex-

inning when Brooklyn bagged four
of it's seven hits and both its runs.

Babe Phelps doubled to score Med

Wyatt did not give a hit in the last
four frames and Erickson, who had
won four games and lost only one
prior to today, permitted none in tie
last three.
The only run Boston tailed
against Wyatt developed out of an
error in the second inning, when Phil
Mast was safe on a high throw by
Reese, went to third on a single by
Erickson and scored on a force out
by Buddy Hassett. However the Bees
kept the Dodgers in an uneasy frame
of mind by loading the bases in the
first inning on two hits and an in

Extra Games Needed
To make the program complete
and give the public of Southeast
ern North Carolina the football
that it likes, n or two freshman
or Junior college games could pos
sibly be lined up even at this late
date.
I believe that such games would
attract the football fans. Most OF
the sports-going public in this Sec
ton likes the grid game. There
are few things that Wilmington
could do better than satisfy their
wants.
We believe the Davidson-C Citadel
game will be about as good as any
in the state. The two schools have
built up a rivalry such as between
Duke and Carolina, but there IS
enough there to make any encoun-
ter Of these two teams very IN
teresting to watch.
Will History Repeat:
There is a good possibility that
the fall of 1910 will e a repeti-
ton of the World Series OF 70
years ago when the Brooklyn bod
gers tangled with the Cleveland
Indians in as colorful a series as
history can dig up.
The Indians are now atop the
American league and given a good
chance of winning the bunting. The
Dodgers are currently in second
place and have been jumping IN
and out of first place since the
season started. The 1910 edition OF
the Redskins and the once Daffl-
ness boys has no anemia. If they
would meet for the World cham
pionship in October the series will
have as much color as a noun
tainside in autumn.
In the series 20 years back,
many things happened. Ray Chap
man, shortstop for Cleveland, was
killed by a ball thrown by Carl
Mays. Joey Sewell took his place
and the Tribe went on to win five
games against Brooklyn's two. An
unassisted triple play by Bill Wam-
by, Cleveland second baseman, al
so stood out in that performance.
Odds and Ends
Scotty Dawkins is in Charlotte
trying to arrange for Jack Demp-
sey to make an appearance here
soon as referee Of n weeks

be no mat card next week, be-
cause Of the July 4 celebration.
North Cardinals Buck Ross lost a
tough one yesterday when the
Yanks beat the AS 4 to 2. He
scattered six hits but errors by
teammates offset fine pitching and
he was charged with his first loss
