PlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Some very fine tennis is going to Toe played on Pinehurst
courts before the North and South championships have been com
pleted. On form, Richard Skeen and Bruce Barnes can easily
meet in a semi-final, with the winner taking on Donald Budge in
the final..
This is the first elimination tennis tournament in which
Budge has competed since his days as an amateur. He played in
Los Angeles about two weeks, ago in a sort of exhibition round
robin event, but this Was something different from an elimina
tion tournament.
From here the troupe moves to White Sulphur, and Budge is
eager to win his first two , starts in professional tennis, and very
likely Will succeed. But Barnes and Skeen would like to have a
crack at Donald, and if these two come through into the semi
final in the lower bracket the match will be a bang up affair.
Tennis doubles with experts in action is among the most en
tertaining of all contests to watch, and with Donald Budge and
Bruce Barnes making up one combination, there will be some fast
action in this division.
Professional (tennis was given a severe rap by certain New
York newspapers recently because of the expense account returned
in connection with the Finnish relief match played in that city.

Indies!’ United States
Serves Warning on Japs
Secretary Hull Issues Statement, !to be
Handed to Nipponese Foreign Office,
Asserting Intervention Would be “Pre
judicial to Cause of Peace in Pacific;”
Shanghai Reports Seizure Feared if
Netherlands Invaded.
(By the Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 17.—Vigorously, if indirectly, the
United States called on Japan to keep hands off the Dutch East
Indies, vital source of rubber, tin, and other raw materials for
America and other nations. »
Secretary Hull issued a formal statement,* which is to be*
handed to the Japanese foreign office by Ambassador Joseph C.:
Grew, asserting that any intervention there “would be prejudicial!
to the cause of stability, peace and security in the entire Pacific:
area.” I
His pronouncement was prefaced with the remark that he had!
“noted with interest” a recent Japanese statement expressing con
cern for the maintenance of the status quo in the Netherlands
Indies. In this statement, the foreign minister had raised fronp
speculation as to whether Japan would have to “protect”1 the^
Indies in case Holland became involved in the European war.
While Hull’s statement was being issued, news dispatches from
Shanghai stated that authorities of the British, French; and Amer
ican fleets in that area of the world had paid there was a “serious
possibility” of a Japanese attempt to seize the Dutch East Indies
in the event of a German invasion of the Netherlands.
