NO COLLEGE GAMES
IN D. C. TOMORROW

SO far as competition on local fields
is concerned, tomorrow will be an idle
day for college athletes of the District
group. Catholic University and Uni
versity of Maryland diamond combi-
nations, however, have important
contests on alien soil.

Inability to hit Stewart, clever
southpaw, was the principal cause OF
Marylands defeat by Georgia yester'
day. Then, too, Luke Bromley who
hurled by no means a bad game for
the Old Liners. was handicapped by
erratic support. The Bulldogs from
Dixie earned but two runs.
A rousing circuit clout by Schiber,
big Cracker first-sacker, accounted
for two of the visitors three runs in
the fourth, the first tallies of the
game. The Old Liners got two of
their six hits in the fifth, when they
registered their lone run.

will make their debut in

bination representing Marston School

IF the wearers of the Blue and
White. who are being tutored by Bert
Coggius, make a respectable showing
Coggins will be satisfied. The Baiti-
moreans have been playing the old
Indian game for a, number of years
and have turned out some mighty
clever teams.
Central's lone competition thus far
has been two scrimmages with the
University of Maryland Freshmen at
College Park.
Coggins' boys however. have been
quick to learn the feel of the stick >
and a number have shown decided
promise.
Central's twelve is built, for the
most part, around the same players
who formed the crack Blue and White
basket ball combination last Winter
and of which Coggins was also coach.
Training acquired on the nldoot
court by these boys in shifting, cut
ting and passing has stood them in
fine stead on the lacrosse field.
Among the Courtmen who VIII ne
found in the Central lineup are Pete
Nee and Lefty Crouch. who are slated
to hold forth at in and out home, re-

Brief Submitted
In HardWick Case

The case of the people of the
state against Joseph Hardwick,
former chief of police of Calexico,
was brought before the appellate
court in Los Angeles yesterday
morning, the defense submitting the
case without argument. The defense
counsel, however, consisting of
Edgar B. Hervey and w. NJ. Conk-
ling had prepared lengthy brief in
which their objections to the ver-
diet of guilty returned by the jury
here in April were set forth. Hard
wick was convicted on charge of
assault with a deadly weapon, grow
ing out of the shooting of William
\. Taylor, Los Angeles lettuce
buyer, in Calexico ON the night of
February 7.
The defense in its appeal has
cited numerous grounds upon which
the appeal is based. They charge
errors of the court in allowing some
testimony to be entered and charge
that the court erred at other times
III its failure to allow them to enter
other testimony.
Edward p. Patterson, deputy dis
trict attorney, was present when the
case was brought up Yesterday morn
ing and in a wire to District AttOr-
rey Heald he says that the prosecut-
ion has been given 20 days to file
answer to the breif. If the prosecut-
ion chooses to file such answer the
defense will then be allowed to sub
NIT further argument before the
court reaches its final decision.

effort find out what extent local residents trade
elsewhere, and their reasons.
Two of the reasons brought forward might have
occurred to any thoughtful observer The buyers re
gard local prices too high the selection small,
and consequently to the nearest big city for better
selection and lower prices.
Those reasons have been given before. They
supplemented in this investigation by third reason,
labelled the real one.
Metropolitan advertising is more effectively writ

more successful in drawing the small town residents

With the recognition of the vast extent of the
damage ceused by the Mississippi valley flood came
the realization that the first relief work would have

was the first plan suggested. This involved the rails
ing of fund which would be subject to rediscount
privileges and which could be used to provide credit
for the flooded Bankers of the nation and par
ticularly Of the South, to be called for this
fund.
The plan officially adopted Already it ap-

RUM0RS ASSERT
SETTLEMENT IN
CHAPLIN DIVORCE.
Film Colony Insists Case
Will Not Be Taken Into
Courts.
BY United Press Leased Wire
By DAN CAMPBELL,
Omitted Press Staff Correcnondapt

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 1s.-With
an air of deep secrecy clouding the
activities of principals in the Chap
lin divorce ease, the film colony vi
brated today with persistent reports
that settlement had been reached.
"The Charlie Chaplin scandal
will never be aired in court, - was
the word which filtered through
from sources said to be right in the
middle of the muddle that the sen
sational divorce suit has created.
Added to this, were reports that
Lita Grey Chaplin is to receive
payment of $S50,000 in cash and the
custody of the two Chaplin children
before Monday, the date scheduled
for the opening of the trial
Opposing counsel have spent much
time away from their respective of
fices, which further strengthened
the reports that the comedian and
his girl wife will never meet in a
court room to hurl at each other
the torrid charges that both have
limited.
The reported failure of Edwin T.
McMurray, attorney for Mrs. Chap
lin, to file an amended divorce com
plant six or seven Of the most
prominent actresses in filmdom as
intimate friends of the comedian,
gave further credence to the re-
ports.
Law Firm Withdraws
1t was the decision TO file the
amended complaint that led to the
controversy between McMurray and
the firm of Young & Young, who
up until several weeks ago also rep
resented Mrs. Chaplin. AT that
time Lyndol Young termed the an
ticipated action as "blackmail" "
and it is believed to have been a
deciding issue in the case.
With reports of the settlement,
the ease is expected to develop into
routine court procedure, with the
sensational charges which attorneys
said WOULD shake the film industry
to its foundations lacking.
Mrs. Chaplin, as the complainant,
is expected to accompany her attor-
neys to court at various times dur
ing the proceedings and technical
legal motion probably will be made
and the ease permitted to lapse into
/ just another Of those innocuous
Fde-fault divorces.
Based on this assumption the or
binary charges in default divorce
cases will be made, namely, cruelty,
incompatibility, vanished love, and
so forth.
In the face of these reports Chap
lin retained his sadeyed mien and
was non-committal, while his girl
wife was incommunicado behind an
arrayaof legal advisors who likewise
refused to confirm or deny reports
that the case had been settled out
of court.

BELIEVE FROST
MAY HAVE MADE
LANDING AT OAHU
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1s.-
Hope persisted here early today
that Jack Frost s Golden Eagle >
may have made a forced landing on
some obscure spot on the Island of
Oahu.
This was based on two radiograms
from the Radio Corporation station
at Honolulu yesterday, immediately
after the arrival of the Woolarco -
at Wheeler Field, and preceding by
over an hour, the arrival of the
"Aloha.'
The first message, received at
3:15 ?. NJ, Pacific time, said that
a yellow plane, thought to be the
Aloha,' had been sighted first
over Koko Head and later over
Diamond Head, ON Oahu.
After long lapse of time, the
yellow painted "Aloha' arrived un'
expectedly from another direction.
a second message, saying that
the original information was then
thought to be erroneous, was filed.
1t is hoped now that the "'yel-
low monoplane, first reported may
lave been Frost S plane, which was
golden orange.
The time of the original message
would coincide with the estimated
time of arrival of the Golden
Eagle
