 It was "to test him out" the wit ness said, that he placed the mat ter before Burns.

 MENTIONED IN CASE
(Contirued from Fifth Page)

Did Irrion speak about his work for the paokers?"
 As I recall, he did not.''
 Holdridge described a breakfast party. at which he met Muma, Urion, "Coloner' Martin and young woman.
 Muma showed me check from F. C. Quimby to him for $2,oo0," Hold ridge testified. s"Urion got the check, he said, but Quimby was trying to hold out on the profits. It was keep ing Urion on the road all the time, he said, in the efforts to get all the money. and that Urion would get him another check from Quimby that af- ternoon."
 Had Sufficient Evidence
 Holdridge testified that Navarro. another agent of the department of justice, told him he had enough evil dence to convict F. c. Quimby, pro- ducer of the films in New York, but that nothing was done.
 Gordon Muma, a brother of Jap Muma, was present at one of his meetings with Holdridge. the ex- agent said. Presently Holdridge found himself at work in Newark.
 "Muma told me with great satis- faction after his trip to Washington that Navarro, the agent who had frightened him. Holdridge went on, "had been sent away on a foreign as- signment."
 Holdridge was asked if that was true.
 Yes. learned Navarro had been sent to Haiti"
 Did Navarro tell you why he was sent to Haiti?'' asked Senator Wheeler
 "Oh, he told me he had soft snap down there" was the the reply.
 Holdridge said he learned that John Haas. another secret agent who was Investigating the film matter. also had been sent to Haiti.

Trouble came in the sixth inning of

Inns started for the shower, when a
fan. incensed at Holmes action,
hurled a pop bottle at the arbiter.
Holmes called Sisler back on the
field and Immediately about half
dozen bottles, some of which narrowly
missed striking the umpire, were
showered on the field. Policemen in
plain clothes rushed on the field and
Owner Phil Ball of the Browns left a
box and conferred with the police on
the field.
At the same time a crowd of fans
broke down the gate in right field
leading from the bleachers and
swarmed on the field. The game was
further delayed while the fans were
sent back to the stands and the gate
repaired.

Gene Sarazen, American profes-

day after long practice session by
himself off on one end of the course:
His practice round resulted in a. caro-
of very nearly even fours, as did also
that of Macdonald Smith, the Cali
fornia star.
These three professionals from
America are considered by British
critics to be the strongest ohal-
lengers for the championship from
the United States. The American
entries were reduced from nine to
eight today when Arthur Clarkson
sent word from Carnousie, Scotland,
where he had been visiting the seen es

ptomaine poisoning and would be

1t is the general opinion at Hoylake,
which just now is the mecca for 300
good golfers and any number of
pretty good ones who are going to
watch their betters next week. that
with this course the open champion
ship this year is wide open. There

capable of leading the field. With

The long steady rain of this morning
was quickly absorbed by the under

Other rains will be- needed during
the week to keep the< course from
becoming too fast to be accurately
judged. But the English climate, be-
ing what it. is, assured there will be
other rains before the last putt of
the championship drops into the

Last year the--~-Nationals were
marks for the Yanks and won but
six games from them. This season it
has been another story, however, for
of the nine games SO far played be-
tween the clubs five have gone
against the world champions.
The Nationals likely will line up
tomorrow just as they have been
mastering in recent contests on the
trip. Ossie Bluege will continue to
hold the third-base job because he
seems capable of covering more
ground than Doc Prothro at present.
The Doc, df course, is a much harder
and more frequent hitter than Ossie,
but the latter has developsd consid-
cradle punch of late. Mule Shirley
is expected to play first base, unless
the MackS start a right-hand pitcher.
In that event Joe Judge may go to
the initial sack, although the leg
injury that forced his retirement
during the Cleveland series nearly
two weeks ago is not fully healed.
Fans to See Matthews.
The Sunday game at home will
give Washington fans their first
glimpse of Wild Matthews as a Ma
tional. Those who saw him in his
two visits to the Capital with the
Athletics early last season will recall
particularly the great amount of
pepper he injected into his efforts.
Spark Plug has lost none of that
spirit, and his acquisition by the Ma
tionalS has put more hustle into their
outfield than has been seen in that
department for some while.

Matthews arm may be frail and
perhaps opposing clubs may get
some runs that would be prevented
by better throwers, but the little
fellow offsets this weakness by his
general excellence in other phases of
the game. He can go and get 'em
in the field, meet the ball frequently
and step along at a lively rate on
no infelder of the opposition can
afford to set for a throw when Matty
is on the way to the first sack. Sew
eraI times during the trip he has
turned into hits buntS and infield
rollers that would not have landed
tial station. This dash has helped
him reach a batting average well
above 300 since donning National
uniform. Above all, Spark Plug has
shown himself to be a most willing
worker and amenable to discipline.
1t seems he is due for much longer
stay in the American League this
time than when he came up from the
minors last year.
While Matthews and several other
young Nationals have been perform
ing we'll on the road, the most re-
markable accomplishment has been
the work of Roger Peckinpaugh. This
veteran infielder, who saw service
with Cleveland and New York some
years before joining the Washington
organization mas D6tn d ulLZy
pace for other shortstops to follow in
the field and at bat is enjoying one
of the best seasons in his long career
Peck's Fielding Marvellous.
In several recent games, Peck s
fielding has been nothing short OF
marvellous. Nothing as brilliant has
been achieved by any other National
nor according to Chicago scribes, by
any other player performing on the
diamond in Comiskey Park this sea-
son, as the scintillating shortstoppins
of the veteran in the second game OF
the series with the White Sox last
Monday. Peck then took care of nine
difficult chances and every play was
of a nature to draw rounds of ap-
plause from the Sox fans. He rose &c
the greatest heights the third inning
of the fray when he retired the side
with three magnificent stops. after
holding to a single a vicious drive
from the bat of Archdeacon, that
ordinarily would have been good for
at least two bases. Peck's playing
that day stamped him as truly great
shortfielder, if he had not already
gained that distinction.
Peck's ability at bat this season has
been surprising. In 1923 he slugged
for only a 264 mark, but so far this
year he has kept well above the 300
point and in the past twenty-one
ball for the nifty record Of BIT.
The veteran promises this year
to exceed his record of .305 made
when with the Yankees in 1919, his
| best batting year in the big time.
A Saturday crowd of $4,000 gave
| Matthews a great cheer when he
stepped up to the bat in the first in
ming today, and they cheered again
when he reached Gray for a clean
single to center. Little Wild is im-
mensely popular here.
