TRAINING SITE ROW
COMPROMISE SEEN

TAMPA, Fla, November % CP.-
Rumblings of impending strife in major
and minor league base ball circles over
the use of the local base ball park for
Spring training purposes were somewhat
less distinct today. following announce
ment by j. L. Cone, part owner of the
Tampa Club of the Southeastern
League. that efforts would be made to
settle the matter at the minor league
base ball meeting at Toronto, Canada,
December S.
Clark Griffith, owner of the Washing
ton Americans. holds contract with
the city officials for exclusive use of
Plant Field here for Spring training
purposes. Cone and his associates
asked Griffith for a small share of the
gate receipts or the use Of the field on
two or three Sundays during the con-
dlticning season, as means of meet
ing part of their expenses in training
their nine for the coming season.
Griffith countered with an ultimatum
to the city fathers that unless his
contract was lived up to, he would
place his team elsewhere during the
preseason workouts.
Cone in turn cited the national agree
ment which guarantees a club control
of its territory and said if the rights
we're waived by the management they
expected to be reimbursed. 1t also was
pointed out that the right to play
Sunday base ball here was conceded
only after the matter had been taken

the Senators would gain much through

That's just what The Stars tournament
is to do, though.
The competition, which will call for
men to roll five games and women to
roll three, with totald pinfall to count,
and which requires no entry fee other
than payment for the gameS-$1 for
men and so cents for women-appeals
to the duckpinners of the neighboring
towns as much as it does to Washing
tonians. Nothing like The Star tourney
has been planned before in the National
Capital.
All to Win, Nothing to Lose.
The way the bowlers view it, they
have everything to win and nothing to
lose. In other words, they are con-
tributing nothing to the prize fund
That's unprecedented in District bowl
ing in any widespread competition. And
the prizes, all of real value and utility,
are exceptionally attractive.
Several hundred duckpinne~s, men
and women, already have filed entries
for the tourney and as the lists do not
close until December % District record

expected to be set. Entry blanks now

plant at Silver Spring also came in for
it's share of attention. Across the Po-

And there are many of these neigh
boring town bowlers who will take a
deal of beating, too. We folks here
in Washington don't hear so much
of the good shooting done by our neigh
bors, hut they are turning in good
scores on their drives nevertheless.
They're enthusiastic bcwlers, too. They
crowd their home alleys every week
night in league as well as independent

them invade local establishments and
surprise the crowd here with excep-

ing HoboeS, and are now one and one

as q new world record. His mark has
been surpassed in pot matches, but
never in organized competition.
Starting with a 1913 game, Philips
put on more speed and added 155 in his
second, reaching the climax in the
third game, when he upset 18O pins,
with four strikes and a spare. He missed
marks in but two of his second-game
boxes.
Phillips exhibition supports the old
alley adage that any bowler can do most
anything at any time. Phillips, who is
not claSSed among the outstanding stars
of Masonic League, rose to sensational
heights at the most unexpected time.
His mark is Is pins better than the
previous record set by Harry B. Dixon
at the Coliseum on october %, 1925.
Dixon, a star in the Agriculture Inter-
bureau League, was not rated Dis
trict luminary until his record-making
performance.
More than one of these unexpected
uprisings are expected during the
course of The Evening Star tourna-
ment schedule. In five-game set al
most any dark horse is likely to get

one outsider will gain recognition in

D. c. COMMITTEES
LOSE 9 MEMBERS
Three Democratic Senators
Defeated-House Group
Has Six Vacancies.

The growing certainty that Senator
M. M. Nicely, Democrat, West Vir-
ginia, will be defeated increases to
three the Democratic members of the
Senate District committee who will not
be in the new Congress.
The House District committee,
through the defeat of Representative
Cole in Maryland and Representative
Gilbert in Kentucky, suffers the loss
of these two Democratic members, in
addition to four other vacancies through
death and failure of present members
to run in the election just held.
Otherwise those members OF Con-
gress who have taken most active part
in District legislation seem to have
come through successfully under the
avalanche Of votes. Senators Vanden-
berg, Michigan: Copeland, New York,
and King, Utah, members OF the SEN
ate District committee, who were UP Tor
have been returned.
Aside from the reelection of Chair
man zilalnian of the House District
committee, who won with very sub
staf1tial majority, particular interest
seemed to center in the campaign OF
Representative Ernest w. Gibson, Re-
publican, of Vermont, chairman of the
special committee which has been max
ing an extensive survey of the munich
pal administration. A telegram received
today from Mr.. Gibson says that his
majority is more than $4,000 and that
he has carried every town in his dis
trict.
Representative Simmons of Nebraska,
chairman of the subcommittee of the
House appropriations committee which
handles the District budget, comes back
without any serious opposition, as he is
from stanch Republican district. Rep
resentative Welsh of Pennsylvania, also
a member of the appropriations sub
committee, who on several occasions
championed the residents of Washing
ton upon the floor of the House, is also
reelected.
Much interest has been shown in the
candidacy of Representative L. G. Dyer
of Missouri, Republican, who was OPP
posed by colored man. Representative
Dyer is the father of the resolution to
give the residents of the National Capt.
tai voting representation in Congress
and in presidential elections. Mr.. Dyer's
election seems assured.

CATANIA, Sicily, November g.
With a molten stream of lava like 9
hungry dragon at their backs to spul
them on, hundreds of persons today
were fleeing from the region around
the eastern base of Mount Etna. Their
household belongings were thrown or
any makeshift vehicle to get them out
of the advancing column of fire. Barn
yard animals struggled along with the
people who were abandoning theil
fields and homes to the molten stream
which advanced at a rate of more than
100 yards an hour.
The most fertile and intensively culti-
waited land in Sicily was being con-
sumed by the lava. Houses were being
destroyed and trees burned. Great
clouds of steam arose as the heat
reached the vats of the distilleries
which produce citric acid.
The blazing sulphurous current swept
away monument to the war dead
which was to have been inaugurated
Sunday at Mascali. The principal
church of the town fell prey to the
lava.
The railway line between Messina
and Catania was in grave danger. The
situation was regarded as critical since
normal facilities linking Central Sicily
with the coast are few. The authori-
ties thought that if large quantity
of lava collected along the railroads
it would remain incandescent for a
long time and the work of repair would
be DELAYED. All extra rolling stock was
being removed rapidly.
The electric lighting plant supplying
current to the Provinces of Catania
and Syracuse was endangered.

SENATOR CURTIS
IS BACK AT HOME
Crowds Greet Vice Presi-
dent-EIect-Poses With
Dawes for Picture.

Returning victoriously and happily to
Washington this morning from the
campaign which made him Vice Presi-
dent-elect, Senator Charles Curtis of
Kansas was soon back at his Office in
the Capitol, working in his customary
manner on a stack of mail and other
matters awaiting his attention.
When he stepped from the train
which brough him from Chicago short
ly after 8 o'clock, ne was greeted by
mis- sister, Mrs. Edward E. Gam; her
husband and group of other friends
and supporters, including officers of the
League of Republican Women of the
District of Columbia. Mrs. E. A. Har-
riman, president of the league. carried
a banner and Joined in the escort which
accompanied the Vice President-elect to
his waiting automobile.
Crowd Cheers Him.
Although the return of Senator Cur
tis had not been heralded, travellers in
the concourse of the station quickly
gathered near the train gate as they
recognized the next Vice President and
waved a greeting to him. Senator Cur
tbs paused to shake hands with num-
Der of persons who gathered about him
at the door of the depot Just as his
machine started for the Senate Office
Building the crowd gave him three
cheers.
The Senator still carried his right
arm in a sling to protect the hand
which was injured by being caught in
an automobile door while he was CAM
paigning, but he said it was nearly
healed.
Senator Curtis found large bundle
of congratulatory messages awaiting
him at his Office, in addition to tele-
grams that had been sent to his home
in Kansas. He has made no definite
plans for a trip of relaxation before the
opening of the short session of Con-
gress next month, for which he will
soon be making arrangements in his
capacity as majority floor leader in the
Senate.
Poses With Dawes.
Mr.. Curtis later posed for photog-
raphers on the steps of the Capitol
with Vice President Dawes. Both ap-
parently enjoyed the procedure, joking
with one another while repeated shots
were made. The Vice President-elect
preferred his left hand to Mr.. Dawes
on account of the condition of his right.
When, March 4, Senator Curtis
moves up from his present position as
majority leader in the Senate to its
presiding officer, the occasion will mark
another step forward in long career
on Capitol Hill, for the Vice President
elect came to Washington as member
of the House IS wears ago.
