FOX WINS HUGE
MAJOR|TYFOR
H|SPLAN

NEW YORK, March z (USJ-
William Fox mustered an over.
Whelming majority of the stock In
Fox Film Corporation and Fox
Theaters Corporation in favor Of
the so-called Bancamerica refinanc,

holders meeting yesterday.
Yet, at the conclusion Of the
) meetings, the situation seemingly
mad been little cleared up, if not
further entangled, in so far as final
determination Of the vital prob.
lens were concerned.
Under the guidance Of Samuel
Untermyer as counsel, Fox rolled
up 10 favor Of the plan he approves
o64.6I1 shares class "a" stock, out
OF S20, 600 shares in all represented
at the meeting of the Fox Film
Corporation, and 93,746 shares

Also Fox secured o67, $50 shares
class "A" and 99,33S shares class

ration. The theaters meeting fol-
lowed Immediately after the film
corporation meeting.
Directors Of both companies
held meetings after the stock
, holders sessions, approved the
action taken at the meetings, and
, adopted resolutions permitting the
carrying out of the refinancing
program.
a conference was held later in
J the afternoon between Federal
Judge Coleman, Samuel Inter
myer, Alexander B. Royce and
Robert B. Swain, counsel for the
Bancamerica-B Blair banking group,
at the conclusion Of which It
was announced that no date
. had been set for the adjourned
hearing Of the order to show
, cause in the receiyership proceed
ings.
Bankers viii Proceed
Mr.. Royce said the bankers
would proceed with the issuance
Of securities provided for in the
plan.
The Fox victory in gaining the
stockholders support to the
Bancamerica-Blair plan will prove
hollow, however, if the counsel
for the opposing side, the trustees
and the Halsey-Stuart s. Co.
banking house, are sustained in
their claims as to legality and
effectiveness Of the voting trust
agreement.
Counsel for Halsey, Stuart d.
Co., Inc, made plain they did not
See, how the Fox situation was
clarified by the action taken.
Their statement continued:
They doubt that the Ban
camerica-Blair plan, which pre-
vided for a voting trust radi-
cally different, could be made
effective as long as the trust
agreement between Fox, Stuart
. and OttersOn was valid agree
ment.. The Supreme Court has
n held the trust agreement Of
December 3, 1929, to be valid.
They questioned the right to
make any plan effective ex-
cept that plan approved by
the trustees under that instru-
ment. The trustees have not
approved the Bancamerica-Blair
plan, but, on the contrary, had
approved the plan submitted By

The washington Soccer Club,

Bruce bases his protest on the
grounds that the playing field

was covered with four inches Of

thaE it lost out rather easily

away with its chances.
The inability to get started
early has been the main fault of

played its part In a compare

COLLEGE FIvES
FACE EASY WEEK

The college basketball teams Of
the District face comparatively
light weeks schedule with but
seven games listed. OF these, all
but two win be played here.
George Washington u. are idle
all week on account of naid-term
examinations.
Maryland carries the banner
this week with games with Navy
and v. p. I. listed. The game
with the Middies will be played in
Annapolis Wednesday afternoon at
4 o'clock, while the v. p. I. Cob
blers appear at College Park Sat
urday night. The Old Liners are
at least an even bet to repeat
their victory Of last winter over
Navy, for Coach Shipley has his
machine in high gear as Is at
tested by their record Of four wins
in five starts. Dukes one-point
margin two weeks ago is their
only reverse.
Georgetown is down for .
pair Of home games, Johns
Hopkins coming here WedneS-
day night and Mount st.
Marys visiting Saturday night.
Both games win be played at
the Hilltop in Ryan gymna-
Sium. The HilltOpperS should
bag the pair of them by play
ing up to form.
Maryland State Normal and
Milton college of Pharmacy will
be Gallaudet'S two foes, the
former appearing at Kendall
Green Friday and the latter
Saturday night. The Blues should
get back into their winning stride
against these two opponents
following their setback at the
hands Of st. Johns.

Of the week for the Cardinals.
Although held to but seven
points in his only appearance Of
the week against st. Johns, Del
CoSgrove, Gallaudet'S sharp
shooter, maintains his lead at the
top Of the District scorers with
124 points for eight games. Don
Dutton, Of Georgetown, picked
up ground on CoSgrove by rum

Captain Maurice Mccarthy, also
Of Georgetown, occupies third
place and Johnny R:ngle, Of

games Saturday night after
previously having equalled the
worlds record in the 100 metre

It was the third time this win.

Sprint Series" agains Karl

Elder ran in but one race Of
the series, winning a disputed

the 100-metre race and was lead
ing the 10O-yard dash only 20
yards from the tape when he
suffered the injury that will keep
him on the shelf the remainder
Of the year.
When the decision was made
that Elder had won from Wilder
muth the fans booed the decision
long and loud. The judges at
the finish were divided, Daniel

favoring Wildermuth while Jacob

picked Elder.

Major Walsh, chief Judge OF
the meet, was called to break
the deadlock. According to the
information at hand, Walsh con-
suited John Diegnan, who was
picking third place, as to the
winner, and then cast his vote
for Elder, although a dozen vE>

had broken the tape first.
It is alleged that hero wor.

officials judging the race. The

The impression now prevailing
Is that Spencer viii, in all Nkeli-
hood, be regarded as the first
string catcher while Ruel and
Tate are to fit into special spots.
Tate's alleged weakness against
left handed pitching will likely
prevent him from getting the
first call.
Any one Of the three men,
toned could undoubtedly serve
as first string receivers with sew
eral other major league entries
but viii have to take their turn
with the GriffS.
OF the veteran pitchers John
son intimateS that most Of the
early spring work will be en-
trusted to Hadley and Marberry.
They're big fellows and can
stand lots Of work." he explained
this morning. THAT goes par
ticularly for Hadley. I've about
decided to stick him in the box
and let him stick for several full
games at the start Of the year.
That ought to go a long way
toward bringing him around.
ION the other hand I've de-
cided to use Braxton largely for
relief work and to save Sam
Jones largely for warm weather
This system, I believe, viii bring
us results and after all, that's
what we're out for!"

While Ruel will hold the fort

added that both Spencer and Tate
win get their shots at backstop-
ping.
TITS a funny thing, that while
other clubs are crying for catchers,
we've got three good ones," John
son admitted today. 1.-THE only
tough part about it is that they
all want to work as first-String
