One Big Inning Was Enough For Wateree Thp Camden soft ball it-am manager utudo one big mistake Monday afternoon when h 1m team battled the Wateree team, and It coat him a ball game, A change In the lineup in the fourth Inning not only weakened the Camden offenae but It put a hole a* big hh a houae In the defenalve aetup and in the flrat blitzkrieg launched by the Wateree after the changea had been made, the boya from the Kendall village added six big tuna to their score and established a lead the Camden gang could not wipe out. I Added to this poor strategy on' the part of the Camden leudera was &onte weird umpiring on the basea. The game attracted a big crowd of partisan rooters and the noise from the gallery wan deafening at times. Ixx-al Interpretation of the rules by Wateree players resulted In several delays and the game dragged out until 7: .'10 o'clock. The Camden team outhlt the Wateree outfit 11 to 8 blows. Two of the 11 hits were homers, West and J. Marshall getting the circait clouts. Kor 'Wateree tDiklnft' gathered a triple and Reeves a double. West's homer In the Becond Inning with two on board scored three runs for Camden. Wateree gathered a lone run in the second on Benny Robinson's single and an infield error. A triple by Klklns and -a double by Reeves accounted for a second run In the third for Wuteree. Camden widened the gap to 4-2 In the first of the fourth when a player doubled, took third on Hundrtck's single and scored on an error by Reeves. Then caune the blitzkrieg. With several changes In the Camden lineup, the old feeling of Insecurity took over and the team literally blew up. The Wateree team batted around but collected only three hits, all singles. But four errors were llHted and all were costly. Wateree scored an eighth counter In the sixth on hits by Rlgglns and A. Robinson. Camden matfe a strong effort to overcome the Wateree lead but fell two poilLLS shy.

July 28.?-The "Act of Habumi" wait unanimously reported by tlu. peace commission tonight for, formal adoption by the American foreign ministers to create an 1 liter continental "Monroe Doctrine" with machinery for Its rapid application as ? barrier against any foreign Invader or land grabbing conqueror. The document^ which many believe may become historically as Important u? the old Monroe Doctrine itself, proclaimed the marked success of U. s. Secretary of State Cordell Hull In his efforts to gain the moral If not the material support of the other 20 American republics for any measures the United States might find necessary to take - concerning European possessions In this heml% phere In the Interests of continental defense. The combined declaration and resolution called the "act of Habana'V-f companion to a convention which requires ratification by two-thirds* of the nations to become operative ? makes It the right and duty of one or . more American countries to aot | In any cmergeucy to prevent other foreign powers from gaining a foothold in the American colonies of vanquished European motherlands. j This, lu effect, means that the United States would be assured id advance that the other American republics would approve of steps taken under the Monroe Doctrine. The patient, persuasive Secretary Hull called the peace commission back to a late night Besslon (10:30 p. m.) to pass on a Colombian amendment to the previously approved convention establishing detailed machinery for the administration of any European colonies taken over by American republics. This amendment would restore a provision In the original draft advocated by the United States for a threeman commission actually to minister uny colony taken over. But the major task which Hull aet for himself has been accomplished already with the peace commission's actions. Adopted by ,the plenary session of the conference tomorrow Is regarded as only a formality. At trie same time the economic commission approved a report embracing positive measures to fortfy th< American economic system by making the republics sufflcently independent of foreign markets to scorn any attempted dictation of trade terms or methods by foreign powers An ailthoratlve source said the "act of Habana" would provide that if any American nation considered danger to a European colony Imminent. immediate consultations would be called to make measures for an 'administrative" protectorate over the colony, provided there was agreement that It was under threat of outside influence. This source said that, lh**-- main part Wt the agreement embraces a compromise on Argentina's insistence (hut the question of mandates depend on the will of the European poss^ sion in question but that it does not require a plebiscite or other form ot referendum. A night committee session was called to iron out a few apparently minor phases, but members said the draft represented strong accord, and could be laid beforethe conference for normal action quickly. United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull announced that the commission agreed unanimously on a program which combined several viewpoints. Smiling broadly, l^eopoldo Melo, Argentine delegate whose country, some observers thought, might balk at the trusteeship proposal. commented : "With our work here we have put ourselves on a strong Juridical basis which 'means that tomorrow we can confront any situation with strength." ? Summerall Thinks Danger Is Close Charleston. July 30.?Warning of Impending perils to America which he said would come sooner than most people think. General Charles P. Summerall. president of The Citadel and former chief of staff of the United States Army, today urged Americans to take advantage of every opportunity to learn how to protect their country. "Any man not conscious of the dangers which threaten our country today is not thinking and Is not perceiving." General Summerall said. "Here in Charleston perhaps you think It Is somebody else's business, somebody else's war But you will not think so when bombs fall on your city and they Inevitably will. There's loss time than you think " To convince housewives that the city haa a water shortage, police of Tokyo. Japan, are escorting banda of women to view the almost-dry city reservoir. WALLY DtMAHO* ?**** POSITION FOR THE DUKE Wallls Simpson can't bring herBelf lo accept the obloquy of that Babam-, tit) Islands' post, tossed to tho Duke of Windsor. 8be baa refused to budgo Wlusor. She ban refpsed tq budge from 8paiu until she has received definite assurance that he^ exiled royal huaband will be given a full-fledged ambassadorship in some country worthy ot bia line?preferably the United States. That's the reason, it, was learned In New York from sourcea close to the Spanish government, why the 'Windsor have shown such a great lack of hurry In coming to this aide of the Atlantic, following the Ihtke's appointment two weeks ago. At first, the royal couple were reported to be coming here by air clipper. l?ater, It was stated that British destroyer would take them?with all their baggage- directly to Nassau. Hut from all accounts today, they were still In Spain?with Wallls firmly resolved to accept defeat In a bitter diplomatic chess?gaine that -has been raging for three weeks between the Windsors and the British foreign office. .. This diplomatic struggle was launched by the resolutely ambltioua Wally on June 25. in Madrid, when the Windsors ended their flight from France by dining with Sir Samuel Hoare, British ambassador to Spain. Immediately, the problem of what to do with the Windsors tyeeame No. 2 headache of the British government and second only to the war Itself. The former King Edward VIH asked his old friend Hoare for his advice about the Windsors' future course. Hoare, former secretary for air in " Chamberlain's cabinet, and classed by many as an appeaser suggested that they go back to England or accept the best ambassadorship the government would offer. Wallls agreed, It Is said, but of the two alternatives she expressed a preference for the return to England as a face; saving Climax to the love affair that cost her husband's throne. Hoare forwarder the request to Edward's brother, King George VI. The King immediately consulted Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was known to have been friendly to Edward bo in oerore and after his abdication. Churchill, however, had more pressing problems than when he helped his friend and sovereign draft the 'woman I love" abdication speech of December 11, 193S. In the first place, Windsor's work as a liaison officer in France had displeased the army because5 of his defeatist attitude toward German military might. Secondly, the Duke's return to England .where he still has a popular following, might give new impetus to circles in favor of appeasement. Churchill passed the buck to the British foreign office. A blistering objection to the Duke's appointment as an ambassador game bounding right, back. Declaring, in effect, that the Duke had chosen exile, so let him stick to It; the foreign office reviewed Windsor's carelessness, when installed as king, .at Fort Belvedere, in allowing Important foreign reports to scatter all over his office and to pass Into the hhnds of the then German Ambassador, Joachim von Ribbentrop; of dashing about Europe, consulting head3 of states without notifying the foreign office either before or afterwards, and often giving personal interviews. The foreign office flatly declared that the Duke could not be trusted to observe either the "discretion or discipline which are the first requisites of the service." Churchill was stymied. It was Hoare, deft mediator of many other political impasses, who miraculously thought of the Bahamas post, far removed from the confidential reports about Europe and especially restricted?for the Duke's benefit? against wartime Junkets in the United 3tates. It was O. K. with Duke. But they forgot Wallls.
