load Of selling orders resulting

restore good part Of the ground
lost on Friday and Saturday.
Bearish professionals launched

After investigating reported
attempt to "shoot up" the outfield
of the Washington team, during
the seventh inning of yesterdays
game, Capt. Robert z. Doyle, Of
the Eighth precinct, today an
nounced he had concluded that
small boys with a new type Of
whizzing torpedo were responsible
for the scare.
Outfielders Sam West, Heinie
Manush and Dave Harris yester-
day heard what they thought was
the whistling of bullets, and
each Of them said they saw the
pellets kick up the dirt close to
them but heard no reports of the
shots. This happened five times,
the players said.
Although believing they were
literally under fire" the players
stuck out the inning and repnrf ed
the incident to Manager Walter
johnson when they went I'll tha
dugout. Johnson dispatches joe
Judge to notify police.
West and Harris said the shots
apparently came from the rigIat-
field fence, and a Gordon Of police
searched the street behind the
rightfield wall, but found no Ugas.
Captain Doyle said he believed a
mischievous small boy, or several
boys, had thrown torpedoes at the
players. The type he describes lis
said to be new type of fireworks,
which creates a very a1dihle
whizzing noise as it is thrown, but
gives off no bang"

until West suddenly leaped IN .tf1s

peered at the right-field fence.
The game continued without in

There win be no further action

President Griffith said that
while he thinks yesterdays
"shots" we're not as bad as first
thought, he is. nevertheless, going
to have a thorough investigation
made in an effort to find the
guilty persons.
West and Harris admitted to-
day that they became mighty
scared" when the shots whizzed
by them yesterday. Despite the
statement Of Captain Doyle that
he thinks the ''shots" were only
play-toy torpedoes, Harris said:

BILL DRAWN

The Hoover Congress entered
the home stretch of its first reg
ular session today with a battle
over world war pensions and a
clash over prohihition featuring
the drive for adjournment next
Saturday.
President Hoover entered the
pension controversy by announc.
ing he would veto the pending
$181, ,0O0,0 to $4Oo,0OO,OO0 pen
sion bin unless it were modified
to substantially reduce its cost.
The President was supported by
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
who declared the Government was
facing a deficit next year, and
by Director Frank T. Hines, Of
the Veterans Bureau, who said
the pending bill was too costly
and a departure from sound prin.
ciples in soldier relief legislation.

Senator James e. Watson (R)

a new bill would be INTRODUCED in
the Senate today, carrying out

Hope Again for Compromise

Within less than five minutes
after the Senate convened today
1t sent back to conferences the

that a compromise would be
