LOCALS DIVIDE WEEKEND TILTS
 AT YOUNGSTOWN
Beat New York, 2l-6, Bow to Dearborn, 8-2; Meet
 Cleveland, O., Today
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. S.-To- day is the make or break" day for the Brooklyn Athletic club entry in the National Amateur Baseball Federation now in progress in this city. A 5 o'clock (EDT) today, the Waterbury club will stack up against Cleveland in It's third game of the tourney during which it has scored g runs, defeating New York'S VII. son Packers 2l to 6, Saturday and losing to the Dearborn, Michigan team, Sunday 2 to 2.
 The score by innings:
 Brooklyn A. o.
 ..,........ OSS O9o Si0x-2i ls 1 New York ... 100 Oe0 00O- c 12 1
 Jay and Kohrin: Barahalli, Pun and Tuckey.
 In the other opening round games Saturday, Cleveland defeated Wash- ington, 7.2: Cumberland, Md, cons Quered Fort Wayne, Ind, 7.2; Syca. more, H., defeated Dayton, 0-4; De- trott iS, Toledo {; Pontiac set back New Kendngtor, Pa. T-2; Birnhng- ham defeated Memphis, 4-2 (1i iYn- ings): Youngstown 3, BarbeTton 3; Royal Oak 14, Atlanta 0.
 Another loss sends the 4rooklyna back home, while another victory will put them right back in the thick of contention for the national ann ateur championship. Cleveland wes defeated Sunday by Cumher- land, Maryland 2-i.
 Sundays game was pretty much of Q nightmare from c baseball standpoint. No less than five ot the eight Dearburn runs being of the unearned variety and scored because of errors and general lnisplay, dur. ing which starting pitcher Steve Wood lasted less than five innings being replaced by Lefty John Me- Kenna of Arnold College who wa effective enough but lacked any. thing near decent support.
 Too many hits in the New York game and not enough against Norm Pickans of Dearborn was the story of the two days effort by the 3. A. o. team. Seven runs in the first four innings including three un. earned In the first Stanza in which Q cheap" home run figured because of Q rniSjudged fly ball to center field gave Dearborn Q lead which proved much too much for the Wa terurians, whose combined efforte were of grammar variety after set. ting what is believed to be a tourn- aTnent record for runs scored In Q single game, on the day previous and that also included c ten run splurge In the eighth inning Of the game.

JUNIORS WALLOP
 THOMAST0N II TO 3

Eddie Curley's Waterbury Jun iors, losers of but one game in II this season, carried too much power at the plate for Thomaston Juniors yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Park and chalked up a decisive, II to 3 victory behind the four hit hurl ing of Bill Thompson and Ray Da- wis.
 The former walked the first three men to face him in the opening frame and Davis was called in. He hurled masterful ball to allow but one run to score in that frame, fol- lowing 1t up by hurling six shutout frames.
 Joe Cavanaugh, who despises be. ing called Junior, was the hero in the locals attack on Pitchers Con. aghan and Belemy, annexing a sin. gle, double, and triple in five off, cial trips to the plate. Outfielder Babe Mccarthy poled the only homer of the afternoon.

 The bulky field will be chopped to GA qualifiers by day-long medal competition at the Country club, oldest in the nation. Match play will be in order from tomorrow through Saturdays 36-hole final.
 The 45th renewal will be con- tested over the Clyde and Squirrel nine-hole units instead of the tra- ditional course on which the char1- pionship last was played here in 1902.
 The course seems tailored for the 22-year-old champions game with. it's emphasis on long, accurate tee shots. Greens are well-guarded and hard to hold with long approach shots. The Auburn-haired Miss Jameson was satisfied with her tuneup rounds in which she concen. trated on a study of the course in. stead of trying to card low scores.
 Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page of Greensboro, N. o.. 1887 titlist and winner of three tournaments this season, is the only former ruler rated 6 chance to repeat. Six-tinae charn- pion Mrs. Glenna Collett Ware of Philadelphia and Margaret Curtis of Magnolia, victor in 1907, 1911 and 1912, probably will qualify and may eliminate 0 couple of youngsters.
 The strongest contender, accord- ing to Miss Jameson, will be Clara Caliender of Pasadena, Cal, 2i- year-old daughter of Q professional. Longest driver in the tournament, Miss Callender has been & standOut in practice sessions. She was eiimi- mated by the champion In last years seini-finalS.
 Soundly supported is Mrs. Lucille Robinson Mann Of Omaha, Neb., 70 formful styhst who already has gained the western and trans Mississippi championships this sum- mer.
 Southern favorites in addition to Mrs. Page include Dorothy Kirby oS Atlanta, Ca, who fell in the final ct Noroton, Conn, two years ago, and another Atlanta gal, Louise suggs, whose father was Q major league baseball pitcher.

 The Pacific coast has sent such worthy representatives as Dorothy Traung of San Francisco, Mrs. Betty Hicks Newell, and Mrs. James Ferrie of Long Beach, Cal, and Peggy Rutledge and Betty RucklcF of Spokane, Wash.
 Best of 33 New England entries are Jean Bauer, Rhode Island champion, Deborah Verry of Marioaas and Mrs. Warren Beard of Newton.

Tips From Youngstown, Ohio
 (By JOHN A. CLUNEY)

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. S-Here in this city of approximately lS0,- 900 people, and for the second tune within the past decade, the Na- tional Amateur Baseball Federa- ton tournament has acted as host to some 400 young ball players, some of which are quite certain to attract the attention of major league scouts, who look forward to this annual display of diamond tal- ent, with the fond hope that an- other Bobby Teller, Ernie White or Joe DiMaggio may develop.
 Tn 1884, the national amateur tourney was presented in this smoky Ohio city, which seems to be vest-pOcket replica of Pittsburgh, and, since that time, the Federation has gone ahead by leaps and bounds, with tournaments at Cleve- land, Dayton, Pittsburgh, Washing ton and Birmingham, Alabama, all of which listed an entry from Wat erbuIy, Connecticut, the Brass Center of the World". (Free ad by permission of the Chamber of Commerce).
 As for the current entry from back home, the Brooklyn A. c. party, 8 in all, including City Amateur League officials, news papermen and @ representative of the B. & o. railroad arrived safely, well and confident Friday that the B. A. o. has 0 collection of ball. tossers that will, to say the least be "heard from" and soon, so tha, the boys in Croce and Colucci's Steve's and Billy Moskovitz' tobacco emporium will have more than a little to talk about as the tourney gets under way.
 That, in brief, was the general feeling Friday and it was even stronger as. the lads hustled out for their first bid in . huge meeting of sandlot baseball talent that will make the headlines of sports pages throughout the nation. All In all. the boys know that this Is the first Brooklyn A. c. bid in about ten years and they intend to make che most of 1t.
 One of the outstanding niceties of the departure of the party from Waterbury was the presence and expressed good wishes for success of several members of the North End Thomas Club, consistent win- ners of the City Amateur league championship, including the le4l pennant which would ordinarily guarantee their participation again in the national tournament, but for the fact that they were not able to win the playon in Waterbury be- cause of big, burly and able Steve Wood of Colgate, who Is with the

Governorship Fight
Delays Gov. Stark's S
farewell Address
Executive Is Forgotten
As Legislature Bors
DonnelI From Office
~ the Associated Press.


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Jan. IS.
Gov. Lloyd c, Stark is waiting
patiently to make farewell ad-
dress" he expected to deliver a week
ago-but the State Legislature forgot
him and fought instead over his
successor.
BY tradition the address should
have been delivered last Wednesday.
But traditions toppled like tenpins
this year when Democrat-con-
trolled Legislature refused to seat
Republican Gov.-elect Forrest C.
Donnell of st. Louis.
Normally Gov. Stark would have
gone out of Office at noon Monday,
but he's still there-Missouri missed
the inauguration too.
The Democrats refused to certify
Mr.. Donnells election and set up a
contest of his 3,613-vote majority
over Democrat Lawrence Mcdaniel
Of st. Louis. Mr.. Donnell spent
inauguration day appealing to the
State Supreme Court while the
Legislature finally got down to q
week-old order of business.
"It Is unconstitutional" protested
the House Republican leader, Howard
Elliott Of st. Louis County This
assembly can do nothing until it
has recognized Forrest Donnell as
the winner of the governorship."
But the Legislature had legal
clearance from Roy McKittrick,
Democratic attorney general, to keep
Mr.. Donnell out of office and turn
It's attention to more routine affairs.
So far the week-old session has
done nothing but pass an emergency
relief appropriation. set up money
for legislative salaries and wrangle
over the governorship.
The debate-ranged along party
hnes-brought scores of visitors
the Capitol. Some came to see the
Inauguration and stayed to see the
fight Republican women paraded
the House galleries chanting I'VE
want Donnell" and bearing signs,
"seat Donnell-obey the Constitu-
ton"
A group of veiled women from St.
Louis laid a casket across the State
seal in the Capitol rotunda and said
they were "burying the Constitu-
tion-run over by ruthless politi-
cal machine"
Letters and kilograms swamped
the legislative postoff1ce. =.
The Democratic State Committee
started the investigation which kept
Mr.. Donnell out of Office. charging
fraud" and illegal use Of money"
In last November's gubernatorial
election. The Legislature set up a
committee controlled by Democrats
to look into it. More than 100000
votes were cast for Governor.
This investigation is the only
fraud in this chamber" shouted the
Republican minority leader. You
are planning to steal this election"
Charles Ferguson. Republican
State chairman, contended one pur-
pose behind the refusal to seat Mr..
Donnen was to prevent him from
disturbing election and police boards
in st. Louis where an important
city election will be held in the
spring. Both boards are appointed
by the Governor.

count, and he figured it was all

right.
Social life between the French
and Germans is on the upgrade.
Before I left in December, I went
to several cocktail and dinner parties
in French homes where German
officers were present. One, at the
Ritz Hotel, was particularly anus
ing because q German of1lcer and
a former French officer found they
had been attached to opposing units
during battles long the Aisne River
and threshed out the whole cam
paign again, each pointing ont to
the other the advantages that had
been missed.
One thing that makes both the
Germans and French angry is the
number Of run1ors which have either
no basis in fact or tell only part
Of the story.
Fatalities in Blackouts.
There has been a great outcry
In some countries about the num-
Der Of Parisians run down by Ger
man automobiles in the nightly
blackouts. 1t is true that there
have been an undetermined number
Of fatalities and injuries when
Frenchmen have been hit by Ger
man cars. But it is also true that
German soldiers have been run
down by their own cars.
Another story which raised a
furore was that all the historic
statues in the Place de la Concorde
were being torn down by German
labor troops. All still were in place
when left early in December.
Various reports have been made
about German occupation of the
Duke and Duchess of Windsor's
palatial town house on the Boule-
ward Suchet. After investigating
these reports no less than half a
dozen times, 1 can say the house
appears to be exactly as it was left
one June morning when the Wind
sors, accompanied by Sir Charles
and Lady Mendl elsie De Wolff ,
drove southwark out of Paris.
Probably the most exaggerated OF
the rumors was that hundreds Of
French students were moved down
by German machine-guns during
demonstrations on the Champs
Elysees on November IL, Armistice
Day. French and German sources
in Paris, supported by neutral eye
witnesses including myself. are
agreed that there is no evidence Of
any student being shot or killed.
Some were injured when German
automobiles were run into the crowd
to break up the parade.
Many students were detained tenn
porarily at French police stations,

about 750 were exported to France
before the collapse of that nation.
A large number of those warplanes,
however, we're taken over by the
British.

sion into Paris, was complete apathy
The second reaction followed
quickly, perhaps a week or 10 days
after the occupation, when they
awoke from their stunned state to
realize that the German military
actually had taken control of all
public and private business under
strict military regulations.
Incidents Follow.
This gave rise to series Of in
cidents. German soldiers we're
attacked-not with weapons, be-
cause the French have none, but
with the hard heels and fists of
groups of wine -infiamed patriots. "
Germans were showed accidentally
of street corners, jostled in subways,
insulted and laughed at in French
and generally plagued"
The Germans proved to the
French that they could take it as
well as give it, and the third stage
an amicable relationship bordering
in many cases on friendship
slowly is developing. Then, too. the
French have taken a new view of
the situation for two reasons:
Business, always under super
vision, has been expanding until
most of the stores and shops are
operating as nearly normally as
possible. This means money in
French pockets and consequent
happiness in French hearts.
The number Of German troops
particularly in the Paris region, has
been steadily declining, leading
Frenchmen to believe the worst days
of the occupation are about over.
No official figures ever have been
given as to the actual number of
troops brought in with the occupa-
ton forces, but good German mill
tary source limited at around 100000
Today is seems safe to estimate
that not more than 10000, includ-
ing staff officers and men, are on
regular duty in the northern oc-
cupied zone. There are, of course,
many, many thousands more In the
military zone along the English
Channel ports and the French
Belgian frontier, but these are air

operations against the British Isles.

the whole affair wasn't much diff

A report that definitely is untrue
is that listening to all stations except
those OF the German ofhcial radio
