McNeely got an odd single in the
third round. He sent a teasing low
pop just over Vangilders head and
too far in for Gerber to catch.
Rice's queer base-running tactics
practically made a double play for
the Browns in the fourth. When Cos
lin flied to center Sam took d long
lead off first. He ran back to the bal z
after Jacobson made the catch, then
deliberately set sail for second, where
he found McManus waiting with the
ball.
McNeely contributed a bright bit of
fielding in the seventh when Rego
lifted the ball to right-center. Earl
had to do some real sprinting to get
to the sphere and fell as he made the
catch, but clung to 1T tenaciously.
Bluege and McNeely had banner
days at bat, each getting four blows.
Bluege went hitless once and Nc
Neely twice.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY

For time yesterday the Bucks
were leading the league. Before the
game with the Browns started the
1anks were bumped off by the In
dians and that put the Harrismen in
front. But they did not stay there
long.
In the first inning of the game
Bluege made a good stop and peg to
retire Mcmillan. OSsie had to jump
to his right to get the ball and had
no time to set for throw.
Judge made a startling catch of
McManus' foul fly in the second in
ming, running against the field boxes
back of first base to reach the ball
Pinch hitting was done at a $50
rate by the Bucks, Shirley being the
only one of four batsmen thrust into
the fray failing to hit safely. Tate
singled for Mogridge in the fifth; Lei
bold, replacing Goslin, singled in the
sixth, and Hargrave, batting for Mar
tina, tripled in the eighth.

COLD WAVE STOPS FLOOD.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, January -
An unexpected cold wave which swept
Cincinnati last flight and sent the
mercury down to approximately 10
degrees above zero prevented a
threatened serious flood that might
have resulted in thousands of dollars
worth of property damage, according
to w. G. Devereaux, United States
weather forecaster.
The Ohio river at this point early
today registered approximately fifty
, two feet (f1ood stage), and 1t was only
the cessation of the heavy rains OF
the past several days, followed by
Sthe cold snap, that prevented the
stream from rising to sixty feet, the
weather man said.
Mr.. Devereaux stated late last
night he expected the river to reach
fits crest tomorrow at between fifty
four and fifty-f1ve feet.
Officials of railroads entering the
Central Union station have made
preparations to yacate If the rise ex-
ceeds fifty-three feet, at which point
back water floods the ditch" ap-
proaeh to the station. Trains will be
operated from outlying depots in
event it becomes necessary to aban-
don the main terminal.
Nearby Kentucky cities will not
suffer unless the river reaches fifty
fve feet, rivermen said. >,

THE SENATE WANTS
DENNY TO RESIGN
Resolution, Adopted AZ to "a, Is Far
vored by Ten Republican
Senators. l.

Washington.-President Coolidge
was advised by the senate 10 ask for
the resignation of Edwin DENLY, as
secretary of the navy.
The resolution declaring the secre-
tary's retirement should be requested
Immediately" was adopted, AZ to 81,
and sent to the White House by spe-
cial messenger within the hour.
There was nothing to indicate clear
ly what the presidents reply would
be-. White House officials, who al
ready have declared the question out
side the province Of congress, were
silent. Mr.. DENLY sent word to in
quirers that he would have nothing
to say in the immediate future.
The senate's action came toward
the close Of another day OF fast crowd
ing developments in the oil investi-
cation.
At the morning session the oil COM
mittee heard from w. G.. McAdoo, a
detailed statement Of his employment
as counsel for the Doheny interests;
a declaration that he had no part in
any leasing negotiations and a charge
that injection of his name into the
inquiry was a political move to dis
credit him as a presidential candi-
date.
Later the same committee received
the protests Of three railroad labor
leaders against confirmation of Alice
Pomerene as special counsel for the
government in the annulment suits.
Action was deferred, but a favorable
vote was forecast.
Chairman Lenroot received a letter
from Seymour l.. Cromwell, president
of the New York Stock exchange,
saying hat if the committee desired,
the board of governors would pass a
resolution asking all members Of the
exchange to forward the committee
a transcript from their books, as was
done in the Teak" investigation in
1917.
During the day Attorney General
Daugherty wrote Senator Willis, re-
publican, O., asking that a committee
hold hearings on the resolution re-
Questing that he retire from the cab
met. Senator Wheeler, democrat, OF
Montana, author Of the resolution,
said in a statement that he had nc
objection.

THE WHITE HOUSE HOLDS
UP FLIGHT TO THE POLE
President Coolidge Orders the Aban-
comment of Plans for the
Shenandoah's Trip.

Washington.-President Coolidge
ordered preparations for the naval
north pole expedition suspended. By
direction Of the president, Secretary
DENLY sent out orders bringing all
preparations for the flight Of the
Shenandoah to an abrupt stop pend
ing some form of congressional APP
prevail of the project.
A White House spokesman intim-
ated that If such approval was forth
coming, preparations would be re-
sumed Immediately. Naval officials
were frankly doubtful, however, that
they could obtain congressional sane.
ton in time to carry out the flight
this year. At the White House it was
said that the president, In view Of op.
position to the flight that had devel.
oped in congress, believed it wise to
await action by that body to show its
approval Of the expenditures neces-
sary to carry out the plans.
The White House explanation sug.
gested that a request had been sub.
mitted for authority to spend $500, 00C
on the polar expendition. The pend
ing naval bill, now in the house, con.
tains no item of this character, how.
ever, nor was it clear to what specific
authorization the White House
spokesman had reference.
The naval bill to cover expenditures
for the fiscal year, 1925, was voted
out by committee with a report at
tached saying that the committee had
discussed the polar flight plans with
Secretary DENLY and naval officers
but would not interfere with 1t in any
way in the supply measure, since ex
penditures for the flight were to be
made from funds already available
and not from those provided In the
1925 supply measure.
There have been instances OF oppo
sition to the flight being voiced in
the senate and house, but no definite
movement has been apparent In either
house. Representative Longworth
of Ohio, republican leader in the
house, said he had heard Of no such
movement.
