I to win against your team. “I think the Americans have the i best chances to be challengers again, hut I am Sure that England i will put up a good fight." Tennis strategists of the three camps, France, England and the United States, are now in three huddles figuring out how to win the silverware. France has agreed that Henri Cochet and Jean Borotiar must be depended upon to play the [singles with Cochebßmgnon in the doubles. The American experts have about I agreed upon Frank Shields and Sidney B. Woods, Wimbledor finalists for the singles, with George Loti and John Van Ryn, Wimbledon finalists, for the doubles. British intentions are shrouded in dark, while the doctors take daily looks at the rebuilt ankle of F. J. Perry. During the closing days of Wimbledon, while playing in mixed doubles against an American pair. Pdrry, in chasing a wide ball, fed over a linesmans chair onto the cement at the side of the court. There is mnch hope that Perry will be able to take hts place aglnst America in the tnterzone finals with "Bunny" Austin as a running partner. If Ferry can stand the strain he may also be drafted for the doubles, because of the impressive manner in which he and G. P. Houghes fought their way to the semi-final, losing only to Lott and Van Ryn at Wimbledon. Borotra is leading the French opposition to the movement to restrict the Davis Cup biannus play, it is doubtful if the idea can be sold to the European and American nations although Australia and South Africa are strong for it. "No nation is compelled to challenge, and they can do es Australia does now—challenge only every two years," Borotra said today. “As the cup is played for now, annually any nation can choose out of two years the year which best suits its players. If the cup were played for only every two years it might hapen that the compulsory might not suit the players. — o Golfers in Deadlock Indianapolis, Aug. 10 —(U.R) — Neal Mclntyre aid Ralph Stonehouse, Indianapolis professionals, faced one another again today on the Speedway golf course in a third play-oft to determine the state open championship. In the final round last Wednesday, the two golfers tied at 29G. In a play-off Thursday, Mclntyre and Stonehouse each turned in seventy-twoes. The tie remained unbroken Friday when the players turned in cards of 74 strokes each. WATER VICTIM DIES SATURDAY tCuNTWUED FROM PAGE ONKI judged the depth of the water and dove info the shaltow end.

Hearts aching. Mr. and Jlrs. Henry Jackson of Chicago listen to (he evidence offered at the inquest into the death of their son, 17-year-Old John (insert), who killed himself with a rifle.

COMMUNISTS RIOT IN BERLIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Berlin was ordered for a 'period of 10 days. Trouble started when police raided a Communist meeting near Buelow Platz in the evening and Communists fired on them from darkened houses. The rioting rapidly developed into organized street fighting. The shooting began at 8:30 p. m. It continued sporadically until after midnight with occasional bursts of furious fighting, police reserves gradually gained control of the sit-’ nation and the district became quiet before morning. The district around Buelow Platz

continued in a state of siege through the night, although the battle ended about midnight. Oc-1 ! casional shots were fired and [strong patrols of police kept the streets cleared. All pedestrians were searched for arms. The police in trucks, supported by armored cars, rumbled through the streets. They fired frequently into windows or at roofs where I Communist snipers had been hidden. The street in front of the i Communist headquarters was ’ crowded with police, many armed .with rifles. The police raid on a Communist [meeting in a music hall near Bue- | low Platz started the disord 1 rs. [About 1,600 Communists were forced to raise their hands above their ! heads and march to police head- | quarters where they were search|fd for arms. A minor fist fight [started and was rapidly followed; I by an outbreak of gun fire. The streets cleared in an instant. , [ People hysterically dashed for shelter. Communists dashed into; ; houses around the Buelow Platz, .which tliiy barricaded and opened ! fire on the police. Revolvers ami jrifles were uses by both sides. The : Communists carried their woundled away as rapidly as possible, i Final returns in the unsuccess- | ful Plebiscite for dissolution of the I Prussian Diet were: In favor of I dissolution, 9,793,828; Against, I 362,885. The number of votes required to j force dissolution was 13,449,500. The Fascists, most powerful opi position group, supported the PleI biscit and it was, to an extent, a [test of their political strength. The Plebiscite was conducted I with only minor disorders reportL d elsewhere.

♦ ——77 7— ~♦ | VV ashington Letter I By THOMAS L. STOKES, UP Staff Correspondent ♦ Washington, —(UP) —President Hoover is learning as have other Presidents, that he must give a good deal of time to many extraneous side issues, sometimes of a very trivial nature, even during critical period of negotiation over matters that affect the whole world, such as the debt moratorium. Persons with all sorts of business [trailed in and out of the White : House during the moratorium nego- . tlations, the most Important single ' measure promulgated during the I Hoover administration. They take I their particular troubles into the | President and he listens to them. I Those around the President sought l to keep away as many of this type ;of visitor as possible during the i negotiations, but they were not enI tirely successful. ' a vital conference on I the debt problem, or putting down I Hi" t>■!>-pin >tif after a lon< distant e ■call to Secretary of Treasury Meli lon and Ambassador Edge in Paris Mr. Hoover would turn aside lo discuss with some caller a minor ap- | pointraent, or listen to an invitation to make an address, or receive some delegation or other —either just visitors, or people who wanted to present some cause or other. G. O. P. Funds Just a; the height of negotiations a number of Republican leaders descended upon the White House to take up such a practical matter as raising money for the coming campaign. They found out that the treasury of the party was running low. President Hoover does not rei ceive the long list of hand shakers who used to troop into the Whi‘e l House in the Harding and part of [ the Coolidge administrations at one I o'clock every day and file by the , I chief executive in his ofice for a . I quick grasp of the President's hand i and a word of greeting. It became too much df a task for a busy President. But he does receive a few people at this time every day for a handshake, visitors who have been so honored because of the request of , some official or member of congress. During the debt negotiations, . Mr. Hoover received several such i visitors. Hand-Shake for Aged Vet He gratified the wish of a 70-year- : old Union veteran from Dalmatia, ■ Pa., to shake hands with a President. The veteran, William Walt, had seen Lincoln several times | ' when the Cicil War President re-1 • viewed the regiment to wh'iieh he ■ belonged, but had not seen a Pre j : [ sident since. H Talking ith the handful of visi- ■ ; tors who come in at the close of a I J busy morning seems to atord relax I I alien to the President, and lie fre-1 ' quently voices a merry quip. He j ' greeted a large delegation of high i [ school boys here for a fraternity i [ convention and told them if they . ran into any trouble in the capital I is seeing hat they wanted to see to come to him. "I'm mayor of Washington,” he I said, smiling. The capital has no mayor, and the ! ' President, if any, is that. He ap-| , points the three commissioners who I govern the city.

(lie White House during the Hard ing administration, when the executive mansion probably.was more open to the public at large than at. any time since the days of'Andrew Jackson, when the Democratic hordes who almost worshiped ehnt chieftain swarmed in droves all over the place. The White House had been closed completely during the World War, with guards statione'T >.-ry gate, and democracy seemed to celebrate the so-called “return to normalcy" by descending upon the White House when it was opened again. As many as 2,000 often -waited in line which stretched away’ from the White House for a block or two. Occasionally there were fretfks, such people as giants travelling ’with a circus, midgets, swarthy visitors from India, Africa and far places of the earth. Democracy has not so rubbed elbows with itself since. 0 Burros Steal Ice Cream Crestone, Colo., —(UP)—Spending a quiet day on Middle Creek, L. W.
