HARRY LEON WILSON
UPHELD BY COURT
Financial Settlement as Outlined
by Author Is Certified
by Judge.

BY the Associated Press.
SALINAS, Calf, January 30.-AThe
honesty Of Harry Leon Wilson, author
and resident of the art colony at Car
mel. Calf, was offlcially certified Sat-
urday. at least as regards his financial
settlement with his divorced wife.
The certification came from Superior
Judge Fred A. Treat, who last Sep
TENDER granted Mrs. Wilson a divorce.
In affirming the decree today, Judge
Treat rulet that the $4,000 Mrs. VIII
son is to receive in the settlement is
approximately half the community
property, as Wilson said it was. Mrs
Wilson conterfded she should have
about twice that amount and that her
novelist husbands earnings amounted
to 100000 year.
Judge Treat also ruled against Mrs
Wilson's contention that Wilson was
an unfit person to have custody Of
their two children.

Indictment weather visited several
Texas league baseball parks Tuesday,
forcing postponement Of the Dallas
Waco and Fort Worth-Beaumont tilts
and curtailment to seven innings Of
the Wichita Falls-Houston game.
The Spudders defeated the Bluffs,
2 to O, and broke the l~atter's win
ming streak. Wichita Falls looked
every bit the strong club that swept
to victory last year and very much
unlike the team that has f~loundered
in third and fourth places in the per-

Both Kiefer Of Wichita Falls and
Littlejohn Of Houston pitched GOOD
ball with the latter allowing fewer
hits and the former recording better
work in the pinches.
Shreveport defeated San Antonio

wildness in the first inning which led
to three runs. They battled v~aliantly
thereafter but were unable TO over

Dodgers Take z From

Wins From AS On

BY HERBERT W. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


The daily shift Of baseball fortunes
finds the Washington Senators and
the Brooklyn Robins holding that part
Of the spotlight not devoted to the
pace-setting clubs, the St. Louis
Cardinals and the New York Yankees.
Stanley Harris started off the sea
son with a Washington lineup that
consisted mostly of question marks.
Before Bucky could get the boys
working together the Senators had
tumbled into the cellar and apparent
ly were more or less satisfied to stay
there. A few weeks ago the pitchers
decided they might as we'll pitch and
the batters arrived at the conclusion
that IT might be fun to hit once in a
while. Washington began TO win
with a frequency that was good to
the hearts OF the experts who picked
Washington TO fight it out with the
Yankees. Bueky and his crew now
are IN fourth place, three and a half
games back of the st. Louis Browns.
Wilbert Robinson's troubles at
Brooklyn have been a bit different.
The Dodgers burnt up the league dur

couple of Wilbert's pitchers went on
sick leave and the Robins began to
tumble. It's long been a truism in
baseball that when Robby's pitchers
fail Brooklyn soon renews its rather
intimate ac4uaintanceship with the
second division. But the high-pow-
cred Dodger staff is operating on all
six again and Robby's famous smile
again is on display.
Robby almost laughed out loud
Tuesday when the Dodgers beat the
Braves twice at Boston and hurdled
from fifth place to third, leaping
over the Chicago Cabs and Cincinnati
Reds en- route. Bill Clark had no
trouble stopping the Braves in the
first game, ) to /. Jake Flowers
single in the ninth scored the tying
and winning runs IN the Robins 6 20

The New York Giants consolidated
their position in second place with
their third straight verdict over the
pills, z to 8.
The Cubs finished all square in a
twin bill at Chicago with the Cor
sairs of Pittsburgh. Burleigh Grimes
put the Pirates one up with a four
hit shut out in the first contest, !
70 0. Miljus, Burwell and Dawson,
however, could not make il two in a
row, the Pirates bowling, z to 3, in the
nightcap.
Barnes, Senator'S outfielder, drove
out two home runs that accounted for
all of Washington's runs in a Z to !
victory ove the faltering Phila-

ground to the transforming Yankees
in the American league race.
Larry Bettencourt crashed out n
