Ladies Day AtHeorinqs

Washington, July 12 - (U.P) -
 It was ladies day at the Senatorial
 hearings on peace; yep, it took two
 cops to quell the fray.
 Keep your dirty hands of me-"
 screamed Mrs. Agnes Waters at the
 blue coats, while Chairman Tom
 Connally of the Foreign Relations
 Committee banged his silver-bound gavel and shouted: "I'll see if can't make as much noise as you do." Peace, it must be wonderful. In the Senate caucus room nearly everybody was sore at everybody else. The plumpish, blondish Mrs. Waters tangled with the police be- cause she wouldn't stop when her time was up. She subsided finally after looking the red-faced Con- nally in the eye and shrilling: I'm not afraid of all the devils in he'll"
 Came then parade of ladies of indefinite ages, who peered at the senators through their lorgnettes, pince neg, and horn rims and an- nounced with appropriate table pounding that the San Francisco charter was phoney. There were some men, too, but let's be gallant and consider next the testimony of Mrs. Florence H. Griesel, Chicago blonde with blue ear bangles match ing the gleam in her eye.
 She told Senator Joseph F. Guf- fey of Pennsylvania, that she could mt speak, if he persisted in whisper ing. That quieted him. Mrs. Griesel took a deep breath and long look at the committeeman. Then she said:
 T can remember when it was a thrill to be an American. Shame on you senators. Look what you've done. Why didn't you work to keep this country out of war? If you men who voted for war had to fight it, thered be an armistice."
 The senators sat there silently. Mrs. Griesel said it was time they were replaced: she said she intended to run for congress, herself.
 Thank you very much" said Connally. Things went on from there ~'ith ladies of all sizes de- nouncing the peace charter, the Senate, Communists, Great Britain, and probably some other things I don't remember.
 Connally, who never knew what was up when he set aside day for opponents of the charter, called a new one every IS minutes and eventually reached Mrs. H. V. Somers of Philadelphia, who said she represented herself, the govern ment and the American people.
 That's very good representa- tion," Connally commented, while Mrs. Somers shuffled her notes and had such trouble deciphering her own writing that the nnicrophone boomed her words:
 oh, darn it."
 She said, when the laughter sub- sided, that the charter was a scheme to return America to the British and she cried: Gentlemen, please do not be just plain dupes."
 Please, Mrs. Somers," the chair man interrupted. Talk into the Some of the senators do not hear we'll"
 And so on, from 10 a. ril., yeSter- day until 5:30 D. nl., and I better get in a motion now on the men, Ely Culbertson, the bridge playing expert, and David Darrin, president (and only nennher) of the | United Nations of Earth Associa- lion.

Mccormick Says

American leadership and victories
In the recent war removes any ex-
cuse for Americans to admit in
feriority to foreigners, Col. Robert
R. Mccormick, editor and publisher
of the Chicago Tribune, told a
luncheon meeting of the Washing
ton Advertising Club in the Statler
Hotel yesterday.
There will never again, thank God,
be a class of groveling, obsequious
snobs who will seek to be better
than other Americans by admitting
inferiority to foreigners" he de-
clared in a discussion of this coun-
try's relations with other nations.
American victories in the Span
ish-American War stunned the
world, Col. Mccormick said, and
prompted European monarchies to
organize a campaign to minimize
these achievements, while at the
same time competing for this
country's support through erection
of stately embassies and sending
royalty to ''f1atter our democratic
sensibilitieS.
The Chicago publisher said this
resulted in the opinion that Amer
leans could shine in the reflected
glory of European aristocrats and
become, as it were, a subordinate
aristocracy superior to other Amer
leans"
Accordingly, he said, in the last
IS years, this delusion became so
much of an obsession that indig-
nation was not only expressed, but
really felt against Americans who
loved their country first"
Col. Mccormick said all the dis
tinguished admirals and generals Of
this war are Americans" and added
that routs on land and sea in the
Pacific were not stopped until Gen.
Macarthur assumed land command
and American admirals the COM
mand at sea.
Guests of the club included Sena-
tors Wherry, Republican, of Ne
braska and Brooks, Republican, of
Illinois; George Preston Marshall,
owner Of the Washington Redskins;
executives of local newspapers and
members of the Tribune's Washing
ton staff.

Andy's TeXaco softball team
suffered an upset defeat last
night on Consumer Power
Diamond W h en- Beuschlein's
Tavern edged them out 3 to /.
Tommy O'Brein did yeoman
duty on the mound for the tav-
ornmen and gave up only two
hits in going the route. He faced
only % batters during the en-
tire seven innings and showed
masterful control in the pinches.
The game was tightly con-
tested throughout with ca c n
team scoring run in the first
inning. The Tavern Own er S
put on rally in the sixth and
pushed two runs across TO take
the lead and the game.
Francis Smith opened with
a hit after OBrien famed and
reached third on an error by
Ernie Stengel, first sacker for
the Service Men and putting
Dutch Phillips on first. Al
Schunke then stepped into a
pitch and blasted il for two bases
scoring Smith and sending Phil
lips to third. A single by AL
Siewert pushed Phillips over for
the score.
Although Smith, Doug Phillips
and Schunke each connected for
a hit in the initial inning the
Tavern Keepers were only able
&c push one run plateWard.
HITLESS SIX INNINGS
The Texaco team was held
hitless for six innings be-
fore r. from b ly and D.
Trombly walked into two Of
o Brien's pitches for two singles

walk to d. Trombly who stole
second was driven TO third on
! sacrifice by l.. Trombly and
reached home on a wild pitch.
Excelling at the plate for the
Tavernmen were Schunke and
Smith who reached Ed Sheldon,
Texaco moundsman for tW o
tingos in three trips to the plate.
Although Beuschlein's man.
aged to get six hits from Sheldon
he hurled excellent ball and al
lowed only three hits before the
seventh inning. Both he and
0 Brien famed four batters each.
Beuschlein's who had lost
their two opening games show
ed a great deal Of fielding and
hitting strength and will make
lot of trouble in the league If

CLEVELAND. June 7 -

CLEVELAND, June 7 - (P)
Frank (Stubby) Overmire,
who went month between his
first and second pitching ap-
pearances for the Detroit Tigers
this season because Of arm trou-
BILE. hasn't wasted much time
building up a winning percent
age since his return to the
mound.
The stocky little lefthander
had record of four straight vic
tories today following an easy
8 to l decision over the Cleve-
land Indians, to which the us
ually weak hitting Tigers con-
tributed a 12-hit assault.
Overmire himself banged out
two singles to help his own
cause, but his No. l helper In
the batting box was Roger (Doc)
Cramer, who had his best day
of the year in pounding out
three singles and timely triple
and batted in four runs.
For the second straight day
Cleveland's pair of ex-Tigers
bore the brunt of the Indian Of
Tense, Lambert (Dutch) Meyer
collecting three singles and driv-
ing in his clubs only run. while
Don Ross was busy producing
a pair of additional base hits.
The Tigers, after punching
three singles for one run off
Lefty AL Smith in the first inn
ing, hammered across three
more tallies in the fifth and
four in the sixth for an 30 lead
before Lefthander Earl Henry
came to Smiths relief.
Henry stopped the parade
with 2 1/3 innings of hitless
pitching but Overmire, with a
five-hit shutout through seven
innings, eased up and the In
dams combined three hits in the
eighth for their only counter.

Orange run on LaForest's single
The Noveltymen's second and
final marker was scored by
Jimmy latham. He walked and
stole second. Wayne Forton fol-
lowed with a single and latham
crossed the plate.
While neither pitcher had the
best f control, they were both
stingy with base hits. Rhodes
let Mayfair down with but three
we'll scattered singles while
three singles and triple was all
that Nesbitt batters could do
with Burback's offerings.
LaForest, with two singles in
three plate appearances, took
hitting honors for Nesbitts and
Dick Elso had the best average
on the Mayfair club. He singled
once in two official times at bat.

Paced by the one-hit pitching
Of Marvin Leggett, the Hillcrest
Photographers turned in their
second victory Tuesday night on
Consumers Power field by
downing Luedtke Refrigeration,
S to 0 in a hard-played game.
Leggett who showed master
full control dispelled the old
maxim that pitchers make poor
batters by smashing out three
hits in three trips TO the plate.
Two of his hits carried for extra
bases, one for a double and the
second for three bases.
The game was evenly played
until the seventh inning when
Hillcrest reached Jack Ballen-
tine, moundsman for the Ice
Cubes for four hits and four
runs.
The rally began with hit by
Pete Heller and a free pass for
Brindley. Bonnette flied out ad-
vancing the runners on the bases
and then Dobner singled send
ing Heller plateward for the
first run.
OPEN WITH POWER
The Photographers then open
ed with show of power and
Leggett whacked a hard drive
into deep left field for a triple
scoring Brindley. Homer Van
.Hollenbeck duplicated his per-
Torrance by smashing one into
center field.
With the exception of the ia
tai seventh, Ballantine pitched
good ball for the Refrigerator
Ten and allowed only three hits
up to that time. The Ice Cubes
were not able to get far on the
be ses however and only two
batters were able to get past
first.
Leggett turned the Luedtke
men down in swift order and
only % batters faced him during
the game.
The Photographers collected
their first run in the second in
