DOUGLAS MAKES
IT THREE WINS.
FOR ONE WEEK.

The Douglas Bull Dogs last night
won their third basketball game for
the week. st. David was the last
ragged and at times a bit rough.
The first half closed with the score
tied at 1910. but in the second half
the Douglas tossers got their guns
limbered and opened up an offensive
that soon gave them a safe lead.
This offense was led by Cary and
Evans. Cary has not showed much
in past games but he came to life
last night at a time when he was
badly NEEDED Evans continued his
sensational work in both offensive
and defensive play, his shooting, pass
ing and checking being of champion
ship calibre.
The work of the three guards was
excellent. Levy who subhed for
Cummins the first quarter, showed
plenty of stuff and should be a
valuable man, with another years
experience. Cummins got limbered
up the last half and at times looked
as flaShy as he did during the 1927
season. Negri whose stellar work at
forward has been commented upon
by all those who have seen him
on the floor, failed to get going last
night and was jerked in favor Of a
substitute. &

zig-z2g course to observe both sides of
the railroad.
Near Leon saw three men walking
along the road. Two hundred. yards
ahead I noted three others. Ahead
another 200 yards were two more
groups of Is or 20 each. I glanced at
my gasoline gauge-and the groups
disappeared.
I circled and looked over again. Of
all surprises! There, breaking out of
the brush, came some 600 riflemen.
Each had his weapon pointed at me.
And suddenly the zip-zip-zip of several
machine guns Stung the air while hun
dreds Of rifles began to pop.
Several bullets struck the machine
was helpless, caught heading into the
wind. The band was directly beneath
me and I could not get my guns on
them. We had no bombs so my only
hope was to get out of their range be-
fore a bullet struck some vital spot.
Immediately gave her full gun" as
VIC speak of full throttle. Shots con-
tinued to hit the plane, one bullet car
rying away part of the rUdder bar, an
other nearly severing one control wire
and third striking my seat In all,
the plane was hit Is times.
And here comes the thrill climbed
to- $500 feet and prepared to return the
attack, according to our orders. Having
reached the altitude I dived straight
at the 1900 of Nicaragua" I lined my
sights on them while we picked up
speed in that vertical rush until we
were dropping at the rate of $50 miles
an hour.

fired q full belt OF $50 rounds. Once the
bullets began to pour into the group it
melted as it's members scrambled out
Of there. L pulled up barely SO feet
above the'tree tops and, strangely, only
a few men could be seen. All the 9TH
ers had completely disappeared.
Nicaraguan Bombs
Each Nicar2guan bomb consists of a
cylinder of iron containing three sticks
CT dynamite, a spring and metal ball.
The force of striking an object causes
the bail to rebound from the spring
against the dynamite. Then the dyna-
mite explodes
On each trip into the air the Nicar-
aguan fliers carry their revolvers and
on occasion they take along "five-
gallon bomb" In it are combined ma
terialS for combined gas, fire and

They follow elemental principles in
making the larger bomb First the
regulation" small bomb is prepared
and attached to the can. Inside are
deposited q bottle filled with sulphuric
acid, 3 handful of black powder and
some gasoline-soaked waste.
With these large tins of death IN
their laps, the fliers take off and sail
through bumpy air. Should they ever
crash in taking off or landing with one,
nothing would remain but scattered

who upset the pugilistic world by
stopping Johnny Dundee in a round
here shortly before Dundee won the
world title, is matched with Sergeant
Sammy Baker, who battered Ace
Hudkins balmy in a few rounds in
New York, and stopped Jimmy Duffy
here in five rounds. If the big State

to fighting, this will be the first
show; otherwise the big match will
be held at the baseball park.

RAzzTNG THE AMATEURS

Charley Paddock's recent assertion
tf12t Helen Wills, Bob Jones and sew
eral other stars were not amateurs in
the strict spirit OF the rules was rather
surprising when the source was con-
sidered.
If memory does not fail Paddock
was up once or twice before officials of
the Amateur Athletic union and was
asked to explain some of his activities
that were thought to have come under
that mooted classification of indirect
benefits"
1t takes brave young man and one
who must feel quite secure in his posi-
ticn to cast pebbles when rocks might
be hurled back at him by counter
belligerents.
Regardless of his qualifications to sit
in judgment upon the athletic morals
of the distinguished amateurs in other
branches of sport, the point made by
Paddock is well taken, as is known to
all those familiar with the activities
of most Of the athletes who are sup
posed to get no returns of any kind
for their services.
Paddock maintained that Jay
Gould, the court tennis star, was
the only real amateur of his ac-
quaintance and that he had SO
much money he had no induce
rnent or temptation to become
seni-pro.

More than once have they scoffed at

marksmen. At first we flew at alti-

We sought such information as obser-

Occasionally we heard funny nois-
es''; at other times we saw individual
riflemen point rifles in our direction
and shoot, but did not connect the two.
Can They Shoot? They Can!
But the dark skinned natives can

there. Take my case, for instance.

Ihe question of whether their
articles find a market because of
the names of the authors and that
their names give their products a
higher market value than the
works of other writer's could be
answered only by the editors as the

stars seems to be in demand.

GENTLEMEN ATHLETES

Gould is generally accepted as an
amateur in the strictest Interpretation
of the word, but there are others, al
though Paddock may not know of them,
who have no fear Of an investigation,
although very few of them are alb
sclutely spotless.
And those who are accepted as be-
ing beyond reproach are wealthy and
Of the class known TO the British as
gentlemen athletes
For a number Of years the line Was
SO finely drawn in England that q
tradesman OF man who worked for a
living could not compete in the same
class with a gentleman.
On one occasion the application Of
Jack Kelly, one Of Americas greatest
oarsmen, for entrance in the Diamond
Sculls race was refused because he
worked for a living.
Kelly had to wait for the 1920
Olympic games to get revenge and he
got it in Brussels by giving terrific
beating to Jack Beresford the British
champion
Considering all the angles to this
amateur prohlegn rs would seem
that the British did have the only
way in drawing line between an
amateur and professional or
seYrli-prO that was cheat-prOOf.
If the rule is enforced in its strict
est spirit only a rich man or
lord or a duke could play in anna =.

TIKI. ART OF MOSKVIN
ON STAGE AND SCREEN

WTHEN the Moscow Art Theatre was
" causing critical rhapsodies here a
few years ago, one of its outstanding
artists, Moskvin, came in for spe-
cial share of vigorous acclaim. His
portraits ran the gamut of character
izations from his superb delineation
of Gar Feodor and the gentle, YER
minous, old pilgrim in the "The
Lower Depths" to the heart wringing
picture of the infinitely lowly, made
quate, intimidating Shegiryovi in
"The Brothers. karamazov.' r
It is too much, however, to expect
such an outstanding stage actor to
contribute anything of merit to the
screen as it is rare for an artist in
the speaking drama to do anything
first rate on the screen, but Moskvin
upset this theory with the astonish-
ing and almost perfect performance
which he gave in "Polykushka" as
one critic said of his art in this film
"he (Moskvin) says more to us with
his little finger than many actors
can express with every part of their
body including the palate. : 1t is
black magic to watch the manner
which the short, stumpys fingers of
this little player begin to spell cut
message of cheer, despair and enun-
citation. l believe whole-heartedly
that it would be fearful task for
US to match Moskvin"
Now comes MoskYin with another
outstanding creation in Pushkin's
"The Station Master" a Sovkino pro
.duction, which is having its Amer
Jean premiere at the Cameo Theatre
His art may be generally charac-
terized as genial illumination Of
life, full of that unseen wealth and
of that passionate truth that we see
in the pictures Of Memling and
Brugge. Moskvin is not interested
in the heroes of life but in its vic
TINS. His penchant is for the man
who is ill-treated and insulted by
existence, and particularly man who
silently bears these insults. With
his remarkable naturalistic pathos.
Moskyin catches all the minute de-
tails of the hysterical and twitching
movements of the soul oppressed by
a series of life's situations.
His portrait of Pushkin's 'The Sta
ton Master" is brilliant in its Wit and
pathos. We are not treated with the
usual character achievement" His
portrayal of the old postmaster whose
sequestered life is suddenly torn from
its. mornings by an unforeseen and
seemingly harmless episode, he gives
to the screen one of its most delicate
portrayals of kind, noble and simple
human soul.

VETERAN TELLS
OF MURDERS IN
U. S. HOSPITAL
Forced to Sign Stories
of Good Treatment"

The story of how veterans are
beaten to death, forced to sign state
ments that they had been well treated,
and compelled to work without pay
are told in letter to the Veterans
Bureau by Patrick Connell.
The charges of Connell are admit
ted by the silence of the Veterans
Bureau, which refused to answer the
letter.
In his letter Cornell tells of how
before his discharge the authorities
wrote letters to his relatives in his
name, though without his authorize
ton, requesting money for his, return
home, in spite of the law that the
Veterans Bureau should furnish
transportation. He goes on to tell
about the brutalities he witnessed
during his stay in the hospital.
The letter continues:
Pittsburgh, Pa.
I was forced to labor at the hospi-
tai for eco days. l was there about
$50 days all told. l reported DR..
Baines to the Veterans Bureau at
Atlanta, Georgia, in December 1926.
They told me l would be allowed

to do as he directed. Dr. Whitmeyer

l also had the dates when they beat
up some of the patients. And, too,
when I saw men beaten to death.
They died after the beating they got.
One man was beaten in ward No. 9

about $3.50 P. NJ. The next morning
he was carried out dead.
