Iris Speaker will not play against
the Braves in the first exhibition
Of the season. according to Manager
Harris.
Spoke won't get in TIL Thurs
day" explains Harris, ''and two days
work will hardly be enough. But
we've got plenty ct outfielders, and
he can can take his time. But
Wen play to win, don't forget that
for this and every other game for
the whole year. We're going to lose
games. but the other guys will have
10 beat us. There won't be any
quitting.
Manager Harris intimated to.

chance at the lead.Off position
In the teams batting order this
season.
"I'm pretty we'll fixed for that
position, he explained. Joe Judge
was lead.off hitter when he first
came up to the big league. and is
still good at 1t. Buddy Myer is a
good man TO open up the batting
order and so Is Rice. / want to
get the most out OF my hard hit.
ters, those who drive in runs, and
for that reason hope Rice makes
good at No. i position. Both Myer
and Judge land on the ball harder
than he does as a regular thing.
Speaker, OF course, will hit high
up, very likely in third place. He
has been doing that for years, being
one OF the best runners in the
majors. The Goose needs no intro.
duction. He's our cleanup hitter,
with Judge the ideal man to follow
him. All three drive long balls and
are natural 900 hitters or better.
The rest of us ordinary guys,
Bluege, myself and the batteries. do
the most damage following the real
nitters. Every now and then we
come to life. too, and bust up a
game just to prove we know how.

4 letter received by Joseph J. Sim

Childers and Rose and give the prof

The fact that Congressman Mad

WIFE ANSWERS
BOERNSTE|N

Denial Of any acts Of indiscretion
with Mrs. Louise C. Boernstein, of
300 Connecticut Ave, wife of
Irving N. Boernstein, prominent or
chestra owner, was made today in
the District Supreme Court by
Daniel Wells, of Falls Church, Va.
Wells was named correspondent in
suit for an absolute divorce filed
by the orchestra leader. He tells
the court that he knows nothing
about the Boernsteins' domestic re.
lations.
Mrs. Boernstein tells the court
she separated from her husband in
1921, following a long period OF ex-
cessive drinking on his part when
he "almost every night not only
came home drunk, but brought his
intoxicated friends with him and
put them in bed, leaving them there
the next day." to tho wifes great
embarrassment. The wife also de
MES any acts of misconduct.
Boernstein formerly was orchestra
leader at Wardman Park Hotel and
lives at 2122 Florida Ave. N. w.
The wife asks that her husbands
petition for an absolute divorce be
denied and that she be given u
separate maintenance.

MRS. APOLON|O
FACES TRIAL

DR.. Dec Hammer, chiropractor.
and Mrs. Anna Apolonio. indicted
last June for an alleged conspiracy
to murder Joseph Apolonio, husband
Of the woman, must stand trial.
The District Criminal Court today
overruled a motion to quash the in-
dictments and also overrI1led demur.
rers to the Indictment.
The Governments theory of the
case is that Mrs. Apolonio. who is
AZ years old, and lives at COL Elev.
enth st. N. E, conspired with DIR.
Hammer. age Al, to kill her hus.
band. The plot, however, it is al
legged, was nipped in the bud when
a detective. posing as a Buffalo
gunman. took three notes for 81 100
from Hammer to do the lob"
Another plot also was considered
by the pair. the Government alleges,
this being to drive Apolonio out on
a lonely road, slug him with q
blackjack, fire a .32 caliber pistol
through his forehead, break the
windshield and stuff a piece of
broken glass in the wound, thus
making it appear that he had been
shot from ambush and was killed In
the crash.
One of the unique angles Of the
crime that was to be- is the hus-
bands belief in his wifeis innocence
and his attempts to have the charges
quashed. ,

HITS SNAC

The Treasury Departments plans
Tor vacating the temporary Internal
Revenue Building on Fifteenth
Street Northwest, to make way for
the early construction of the Com
n1erce Department building, are
likely to be blocked by the Public
Buildings Commission.
1t became known today that SEN
ator Smoot. chairman of the COM
mission, is not convinced that the
nlan of moving the Internal Rev
enue workers out Of the temporary
annex structure is sound and bust.
T.esslike. and he will block the pro.
gram unless the Treasury Depart
ment can show good reason why
the transfer should be carried out.
The Public Buildings Commission
meets tomorrow and probably will
ask Treasury officials for further
data regarding the plans. Unless
it proves feasible from a financial
viewpoint, the commission will in
sist on having the temporary build
ing being occupied for at least two
more years.
Under this arrangement, the new
Commerce Department structure
would be built in two sections, the
northern half being erected imme-
diately, and the southern half, to
be erected on the site of the Treas
ury annex, to be delayed until the
completion Of the new Internal
Revenue building, south of the Post
office Department building.
