Thompson told Senator Walsh

Thompson said one corporation

Later our investigators. found
four concerns were complaining
against unfair trade practices by

of a Ford has something about it
that the world at large should
know about--and possess, II 1t can.
And so WRC conceived the idea OF
staging a contest of old-time lid
dlers right here in Washington.
There has never been a contest of
this kind in the history of the Dis
trict of Columbia. / wrote his
tory of the District of Columbia
once and never found a thing about
old-time fiddlers to put in it.
Where Have Fiddlers Gone?
AS good radio station, WRC
felt it could not discharge a duty
it owed the public unless it staged
the biggest and best contest that
has been held in this section of
the world. But one can't stage a
contest without contestants. And
WRC awoke to the fact that It
hadn't the slightest idea where
the old time fiddlers of the Dis
trict Of Columbia and Maryland
and Virginia are located. So 1t
to help find EN-. And at that
psychological moment / happened
into the office and the boss told
me to find them.
So there you are.
What America Owes Fiddler
An old time fiddler is chap
who knows how to fiddle the old
time dance music and call the
dances. Any fiddler, Of any age,
may compete in this contest. He
may or may not have an accom-
panist-as he pleases and can
provide. The only equipment he
needs is his fiddle and repertoire
of dance music.
He will be given an opportunity
to exercise his skill or talent or
ingenuity-or whatever they call
playing old time dance tunes on
the fiddle in the way such tunes
have been played here and every
where in these United States as
sort of musical accompaniment to
the progress of American civiiiza
ton. Kit Carson, Daniel Boone,
all the old pioneers knew and
danced their perilous ways over
plain and mountain, through track
less wilds to the tune of Money
Musk" or "The Arkansas Traveller"
or Turkey in the Straw"
And now these old foot teaserS
are back again on their cyCIe OF
time. And WRC wants to find the
men who know how to make them.
Every fiddler of the old tunes is
requested to get in touch with
WRC by letter or card as soon as
possible. The Washington Times
is werely the agency to make all
this known---and what more There
is of it to be made known FROM
time to time. Hence this little

will be distributed according to the
grading of the slogans submitted
for the players in question.
Are you good at writing slogans?
If SO you are almost bound to be
richer five weeks hence, when the
Masked Players Contest closes than
you are today.
From the viewpoint of Metro
GoIdwyn-Mayer with whom all of
the players have signed long term
contracts, the slogan side of the
Masked Players Contest is far the
most important angle.
The M-G-M executives believe
there is every possibility that a
slogan genius may be discovered
among the photoplay fans-perhaps
a worlds future greatest ad writer.
You all know Mary Pickford as
Americas Sweetheart" You all
know that is Mary's slogan name.

Shearer. Ramon Noyarro, Jack Gil

and score Of other M-G-M stars

that will say what you believe to
best describe the star whom you
are christening with your thought.

COURT FOES To
TALK TODAY

The World Court fight became
a real fight in the Senate today
when the Administration Demo-
cratic coalition launched a drive
to force an early vote by ex-
hausting the Courts opposition.
By majority action, the Senate
convened an hour earlier than
usual and faced a continuous
seven.hour session. All parlia-
mentary delays were swept aside
and the pro-Court ranks ordered
to refrain from speeches in order
that the little band of Senate ir-
reconciliables would be forced to
hold the floor against a decision
on the Court. ~
Senator Pine Is Won Over
The irreconcilables faced a Stu-
pendous task, but defended their
fncipient filibuster as justified in an
effort to prevent an immature and
hasty" vote upon the Court.g While
holding the floor and blocking a
vote, they hope the country will
respond to their appeals and flood
the Senate with demands for rCjec-
ton of the Court.
The irrecohcilables were cheered,
however, in their one-sided fight by

Bisbee walked off with both games
at the Y. M. c. A. last evening, their
girls winning "a to 18, by staging a
fourth quarter rally that netted nine
points and at the same time held
the Douglas forwards scoreless. The
Douglas girls held the lead at the
close of the third quarter, 1915, and
their shooting was good, but the
furious rally of the visiting team
in the final minutes of play could
not be- stopped and the Amazons were
victorious.
Eloise Rokahr, Douglas guard, was
the outstanding star of the game.
Her playing was spectacular and
consistent throughout the entire game.
Margaret Sweeney and Frances Ben
nett also played well, and the work
of Lucille Huish and Isabel Brogan
also deserves mention. For the Wis
itors, Helen Gilman and Molly Ben
dixen were the best.
The boys game was fast and well
played and the Pumas jumped into
an early lead in the first quarter and
were never in serious danger. The
half ended 12 to 6. Kruger, Horn
and Merrill played the best for Bis
bee, while Bishop and Cary were the
outstanding players on the local
team. douglas Cary, back guard,
for the Bulldogs played brilliant
game and was undoubtedly the out
standing player on the floor. He
proved tower of strength on de-
fense and intercepted passes time and
again that might have run Bisbee's
score much larger.
Joe Causey, pivot man, was not able
to start the game and was not put in
until the third quarter. He started
a strong offensive and during the
final quarter Douglas outplayed Bis
bee but the lead of six points was

NEW YORK BOXING COMMISSION
MAKES MICKEY WALKER
LIKE HIS OWN "GAME"

Mickey Walker, welterweight cham
pion, doesn't seem to gibe very well
with the New York boxing commits
sion.
Because Of his refusal to box Dave
Shade, Walker was on the suspended
list in New York state for over a
year. He finally got back into the
good graces of the powers that be.
Signed to box for charity, recently,
Walker balked on the figure named
for his services. He suddenly devel-
oped an infected toe and Cancelled his
engagement.
A few weeks later, offered in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to box Tom
my Milligan, the infected toe soon
got well. The sudden recovery OF
Walker offered the commission a
chance for revenge.
About week before the bout, the
commission after looking over the in
jured toe decided it was not well
enough to permit walker to give mis-
best. The bout was called off.
Peeved, Jack Kearns announced
that he would take the proposed bout
to Europe, hoping it might cause the
commission to relent. Nothing doing.
when Kearns announced that Scot
land had offered 100000 for the bout
the commission knew Walkers man
ager was bluffing.
