dies IN JUMP
Was Dou bling For
Ruth Elder in Para
chute Leap

NEWHALL. Cal, Jan. 25.-(P)-
The spectacular death of a girl para
chute jumper in a 1000 foot leap
from an airplane here caused a tenn
porary halt today in the production
of a motion picture thriller in
which Ruth Elder. ocean flier. and
Hoot Gibson, screen star, were being
featured.
A desperate attempt by Jim
Granger, pilot Of the plane from
which Miss Leta Wichart, %, jumped,
to nose dive under her and catch her
in the cockpit Of his ship failed APP
parently by only a few feet.
Miss Wichart was being filmed in
a scene which was TO have shown the
heroine leaping TO safety from the
clutches Of an aerial kidnaper. Her
husband, Floyd Bowman, along with
Miss Elder. Gibson and others in the
cast, saw the girl plunge to her death
in a canyon yesterday. The victim
was making her l40th parachute
jump. She and Bowman were mar
ried recently.
Motion picture executives reported
Miss WichErt had failed TO pull the
rip cord OF her parachute, but the
reason she failed to release the para
chute was not definitely determined.
Granger, who said the girl appeared
nervous Just before she leaped out Of
the plain, advanced the theory that
she had tainted. Others believed a
scarf which was a part Of her cos
tune had prevented her from getting
a hold on the ring.

SoEons Battle
Over Place For
Their Galoshes

MADISON. Wis, Jan. 25.-(Fl-
Wisconsin state senators are hard
put to find q safe place for their
galoshes.
The legislative cloakroom was
branded unsafe for them by Senator
William Markham, who addressed
the lawmakers on the subject yes
terday. To leave the galoshes In the
corridors was even more hazardous,
he believed, while 70 park them with
in the chambers OF the senate itself
would amount almost to sacrilege.
What was needed. he thought. was
a private office for each senator.
Galoshes could he left in such a
place with a sense Of security. Thir-
teen senators agreed with him. when
it came TO a vote, but Is others (who
ii was suspected do not have galosh-
esq thought otherwise, and the pro-
posal was defeated.
In the senate Of Wisconsin, there
fore, galoshes today remained as a
serious a problem as ever.

Along the baseball grapevine comes the word that Walter "Rab- bit" Maranville will soon be an. nounced as the successor to Judge Emil Fuchs as manager of the Bos- ton Braves.
 This. if it materializes, will come as . surprise to followers of the game as it will be the Rabbits sec- ond chance to make good as . pilot of . big league club. Also. it will be interesting to see if Maranville's about-face reformation of some two years ago will remain firm if sub jected to the unrestrained liberties that 50 with . managers job.
 Known as the playboy of the Ma tional league for more than . dec- ade, the mite shortstop has always been one of the most colorful char acters in the game. Tales of his es- capades of the ball fields would i'll a shelf of books and his unwilling ness to take the game seriously caused him to be shunted from one club to another.
 Coming up with the Boston Braves, he help9d them win their only pennant and world champion ship in ls1l. His feldins skill and timely hitting paved the way to star

dom. But after several seasons the patience of the Brave management finally crumbled. He was sold to Pittsburgh.
 With the Pirates he save the same high class service on the held, but ran wild in the hotel lobbies. Blame for losing . pennant was laid to Maranville and some of his roistsr. ing companions and he was tradsd to the Chicago Cubs. Here came his chance as manager. but the Rabbit mufted 1t by putting on wrestling matches with cab drivers and other bits of nocturnal comedy.
 The Cubs sent him to Brooklyn on waivers. But the Rabbit was still a nightmare to morale and hs waA shipped to the minors.
 There he saw the error of his ways and within one season forced his way back into the majors. filling in the shortstop breach of the pAn- nant winning St. Louis Cardinals.
 He gave the Cards great short. stop defense until last year when they decided to develop . younger man at that position. Back to his first biz league club. the BraveA went the Rabbit. This summer hs has been one of the few bright spots of the stumbling Dostons.

Feature Cane in Industrial Baseball League Brings Last Years Champions Against Lockmakers- Both Teams Are It Present Tied for Second Place -Landers Riding in Drivers Seat Stanley Rnls Out to Win First Game of Year From New Britain Machine

A battle between two basebaff' teams at present tied for second place which have won the champion. ship in the Industrial Baseball lea gua in seasons gone byAwill be the feature of the play scheduled to. night It Walnut Hill park at 5:so o'clock.
 Stanley Works, champions of last season, will cross bats with P. & F. Corbin on Diamond No. . in what will be . battle we'll worth seeing. Both teams have lost one game and have won three and each of the out- fits are close on tho heels of Lan- dera who are now in first place with four wins and no losees.
 The two teams arc ready for . bitter clash. Corbins seeks revenge for the defeat 1t suffered in an Il. inning struggle with Landers last week. while Stanley Works is out to recuperate its losset at the expense of tho Lockmakers. Both will have their strongest possible linsups in the game. Stanley Works will doubtless use big Walter Scott in the box while Corbins. it is expect. ed, will rely on the speed of Grey, pitching mainstay this season.
 The second game of the night to be played on Diamond No. will bring the Stanley Rule < Level crew, hard luck combination of the league. against the New Britain Ma. chine, Charley Miller's fast travelling outfit. The Rulers are anxious to win this game, the first 1t will have won this present season.
