ASKS FOR SURRENDER
OF $2,O3O.33 BY BANK
Trustee Asks Court to Compel
Action Concerning Sum Paid
to Bankrupt.

A petition to compel the District Ma
tional Bank to surrender s2,030.33
which was paid to it by Henry H.
Powell, proprietor of the Congressional
Cafeteria, one month before he was
adjudged bankrupt by the District Su-
preme Court, May 90, was filed today
by David G.. Smith, trustee in bank
ruptcy. against the bank. The trustee
tells the court that claims totaling
$4,000 have been proved against the
bankrupt and his assets will not pay
more than 20 cents on the dollar.
The charge is made that the bank
officials when accepting the payment of
an unsecured note of the bankrupt
April 26 knew Powell was insolvent and
had reasonable cause to believe that
such payment would constitute pref
erence in violation of the bankruptcy
laws Smith says he made demand for
the surrender of the money. which was
refused by the bank officers. Attorney
Madison L. -Iill appears for the trustee.

their shot, and usually with
good effect. Even puts can be

swing, be sure then that you

Punchless and pitcnless hereto
fore, they have found that games
can also be kicked away through
boots and are making the most of
this discovery.
With Third Baseman Buddy
Myer leading the parade, they yes
terday were charged with four
hobbies while three young pitchers,
Burke, BeaIl and Brown, were out
classed by the Cleveland tribe, 3
to 5.
Though having lost by larger
scores, it is doubtful If a Wash.

than that of yesterday. Headed
by the Indians after gain&0g a 81
lead in the fourth, they looked the
part of beaten men at the finish.
Whether or not loss of conf
dence or the fact that they are out
matched by the other American
League entries is affecting the
Griffmen is open to question.
Flashing periodical flashes OF bril-
lance, they descend to downright
mediocrity on the slightest provo
cation.
In the first place, yesterdays
pitching was atrOciOus at the

Melting away a 5-to2 command

Three managerial heads in
major league baseball will fall
at the end of the 1929 season,
according to current gossip. In
Cincinnati the gullotine is set
for the decapitation of Jack
Hendricks. The American
Teague will witness two execu-
tions. Lena Blackburne, of the
Chicago White Sox, is almost
certain to go, while Dan How
ley, popular pilot of the st.
Louis Browns, is about ready
to make his farewell bow.
In the case of Jack Hem
bricks, the fans have been after
his scalp for the past couple of
years. He is charged with
number of high crimes, but
chiefly he is charged with an
inability to mold winning
team in Cincinnati.
And if you know your Rhine
land baseball, you know that the
Reds must win or the turnstiles
will not click. If you're base
ball fan you know that the.
silence of the turnstiles CRATES
on the owners ears.
The situation in Chicago is
untenable. Lena Blackburne was
challenged by Art Shires,
youth of boastful tendency,
which chief characteristic seemed
to be disregard for discipline
and everything except the things
that he personally wanted to do.
He rebelled against the train
ing rules laid down fby Black
burne, was suspended and finally
reinstated. The i'll feeling be-
tween the men flared into fist
fight in which both men were
pretty well marked up.
Blackburne said Shires was
through. But Lena reckoned
without certain Chicago ele-
ments. ShireS represented a
certain investment and was not
through. With him back, Black
burne is said to be on the way
out. His rule was broken in
one showdown; he never can
hope to enforce discipline under
the conditions.
Then there is the perennial
case of Wilbert Robinson, of
Brooklyn. This may be his last
year under the Brooklyn ban
ner. They've been saying that
for q long time.
The case of Dan Howley, popu-
lar leader of the Browns, is
peculiar. Dan has kept the
Browns well up in the fight
since he assumed the manage
ment of the team. That should
merit new contract at better
financial return.
But it is whispered that Dan
incurred the wrath of Phil Ball
by refusing to join in a chorus
of alleged yes-men.
According to well-informed
baseball men in St. Louis, How
ley will not be invited to return
to the Browns in 1880. In fact,
Ball is said to have made the
statement that Howley was all
washed up whether the Browns
finished first or last.

RUTHFEARS
T Or HIS
RECORD
By Davis J. walsh

NEW YORK, June 13.--
Babe Ruth, / am reliably in
formed today, will be back in
uniform ON Wednesday, June
10, which may or may not
mean that he is Fastening his
recovery because he fears the
worst for his home run title
at a time when he cant afford
to even be challenged.
The boy friend must knock them
over for a new contract next fall
and by that time. judging by the
way some OF the other lads are
Ruthing the ball while George per
sists in being pale, but determined
invalid, he may be just a man who
used to lead the league.
Anyhow, those close to Ruth make
no secret of the fact that he Is
worried about his immediate status.
His total home runs to date are
| 10, the ball club will have less than
| 100 games left by the time he Is
ready and it is two-by-four arithme-
tic to say that he must go fastE'

can do that well and possibly three

the PhiIlies, with IL each, can do
about the same, il they keep going.
All in all, it looks as though
Ruth ia due to get more competi-
ton than an insurance agent.
They say this is bringing him
back before his time. Team spirit,
the good old campus bromide, is
doing the rest. Two days after his
