HOUSE LULL BARES
|NSURGENT PEACE
Challenge of Lee Ignored,
When Recess Is Taken
Until Monday.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February L.
There was evidence in the House Of
Delegates yesterday that the Republicans
and Democratic insurgents have about
talked themselves out in their efforts to
heckle the administration on the State
roads scandals. It came when the
House had run out of business and was
awaiting an agreement with the Senate
for the time of converting next week.
Speaker E. Brooke Lee of Silver
Spring. announced that the House has
run out of business, and there was
nothing to do and added that the time
could be taken up with a debate on
the honesty of the State"
There were no takers to the challenge
The House won out on its insistence
that the Assembly reconvene next Mon
wanted TO adjourn until Tuesday night
at the same hour. But the Administra-
ton leaders in the House pointed out
that If they waited until Tuesday they
would not have any committee meetings
until Wednesday, which would be a
delay and they could not afford to per-
NIT the Republicans to have a chance
of attack on the ground of wasting time.
When this was laid before the Senate
by the conference committee the senior
House yielded.
r Efforts to have the House Of Dele
gates pass a bill which would prevent
non resident persons or corporations
from being appointed guardians Of in
fants or committees for lunatics unless
there was also appointed resident Of
| Maryland in the same capacity, were
successfully blocked yesterday by Dele
gate Paul Berman Of the fourth Balti-
more district. The bill was favorably
reported to the House by the judiciary
committee, but was recommitted on
| Berman's motion.
Berman charged on the floor that 1t
was an attempt to throwsa Chinese wall
about the State, made on behalf OF
some selfish Maryland corporations, who
wanted to keep all the business In the
| State. He said that If Maryland did it.
that other States might follow, and he
was not willing to see such legislation
passed.

CLINIC BUILDING
Project PRESSED
Arlington Women Want
County to Erect Structure in
Interest of Public Health.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON. Va, February 1.-The
Organized Women Voters of Ar
lington County is determined to see
that Arlington district is no longer
treated as "stepchild" in regard to
the health clinics, it was stated last
night by Mrs. Mary Morris Lockwood,
of the league. Further steps are planned
following the visit of delegation to
the county supervisors
Both the Washington and Jefferson
districts OF the county have perma-
nent clinic buildings that are owned
by the county," Mrs. Lockwood claimed,
while Arlington district, the first to
hold such clinic, has been forced for
six years to rent building that is
fit for use only in the Summer, when
no heat is needed"
Ask Permanent Building.
Mrs. Lockwood and the representa-
tiveS of nine other women's organiza-
tions in Arlington district Wednesday
appeared before the Board of Super
visors to request that a permanent,
clinic building be constructed just
building. The proposed site is already
owned by the county, it was pointed
out, and would. therefore, greatly re-
duce the cost of the project.
Speaking for the committee. Mrs.
Lockwood claims that, while the Jeffer-
son district building cost $4,000, it is
felt by the proponents OF the building
for Arlington district that suitable
structure could be erected and equipped
for approximately $1,000.
Women Back Project.
Frankly" Mrs. Lockwood stated. 1--WE
took the large number of representa-
tives of other clubs with us to show
the supervisors that the women are
solidly back of this. While waiting for
the decision of the Board of Supervisors
and to insure our success, we shall
enlist the aid CT the women Of both
other districts, requesting them to use
their influence with the supervisors
from their districts to vote for the
appropriation"
On Mrs. Lockwood's committee are
Mrs Bertha Kelly, Mrs. Emma Bushong
and Mrs Ruth Lowell. Other organi-
cations backing the permanent clinic
building are the Fort Myer PARENT
Teacher Association, Arlington Parent
Teacher Association. Lyon Park Child
Study Group, Lyon Park kindergarten

Grifflth of Sioux City, Iowa, was nurs-
ing a damaged right hand today that

Grifflth injured his hand in making
his debut as a heavyweight against AL

extent Of the injury. Griffith had no
trouble In defeating the Boston heavy

right crosses to the chin, scoring knock
downs in the first and fourth rounds.
Luis Vicentini, Chilean lightweight

Santiago, the Cuban lightweight, while

to an easy victory over Clyde Chastain,
who previously had chalked up IS

no chance to get set for his knockout
punches against Fields, who was too
busy with left hooks and q sharp

Cubs Regain Leadership in

Win Over CARDS.
BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN.


Wv YITH hardly anything but
\A/ the games outcome at
Wv stake, the Tigers and the
White Sox punched and
jabbed at each other for 81
innings at Comiskey Park yester-
day, thereby removing the spot
light from the efforts Of the
Athletics to lap the field. The
Tigers won the marathon by to
5, and did regain virtual tie with
the Yankees, but both clubs stood
five games behind the flying
Mackmen today.
Ted Lyons went the route against De-
troit and George Uhle pitched 20 Of the
81 innings. The veteran Detroit right
handler gave way to a pinch runner in
the twenty-first round, but received
credit for the victory, his eighth in sue
cession this season. Lii Stoner finished
for him.
The game was three rounds short of
the American League record and five
below the memorable draw played by
the Braves and the Robins on May !,
1920. Only four contests ever went
longer than the Detroit Chicago battle,
however-the two record classes and a
pair of 22-inning games in the National
League
The Athletics rapidly are growing into
as great menace to the peace Of seven
American League clubs as the Yankees
were for three seasons. The flying
Macks made it nine in a row yesterday
by cufflng the Senators, 10 to 8, at

rane went on home-run spree after

den gave the champions just four hits
held the Red Sox scoreless until the
sixth, when five singles and an error by
Combs sent him from the mound. 1t
was the first shutout Of the Yanks this
season.
The Browns kept pace with the Ath-
1etics by trouncing the Indians, 5 to 0,
at Cleveland. Sammy Gray gave seven
scattered hits.
The battle for the leadership of the
National League swung back to the
favor of the Cubs yesterday, despite
two home runs by Jim Bottoniey. The
men Of Mccarthy assaulted Willie
Sherdel In the eighth as true right
handed sluggers might be expected to
slam q southpaw-but as they didn't
slam the venerable Mr.. Clarence Mitch
ell a day earlier. The result was three
runs for the Cubs and 5-to-4 decision,
which returned them to the lead by
half q game.
The Giants extended their winning
streak to three consecutive games by
judiciously punching their hits against
the Braves at the Polo Grounds. Most
of the giant offensive was concentrated
in two big rounds, and the clan Nc
Graw won rather handily by to 3.
The Robins shaded the Phillies by 3
to at Ebbets Field in the remaining
National League combat. The Cincin-
nati-Pittsburgh game was postponed
because Of rain.
