KELLEY, GUYON
REMAIN At HELM

Setting definitely at rest all
rumors Of an impending shake,up
in the coaching staff, Principal
Charles E. Hart, Of Eastern High
School. has announced that
there will be no change in the
personnel nor in the direction of
ire different sports of the Lincoln
Parkers during the scholastic
year of 193O-ts31.
Mike Kelley and Charles
Chief" Guyon will divide the as
Signments again. the former
coaching the football and track
teams while Guyon will guide the
destinies Of the basketball and
baseball teams. The same posi-
tions have been filled by this pair
throughout the past year.
Western High School has
lost a good athlete and Dewitt
Prep is the beneficiary by
the transfer Of Ray MiIlard
to the latter school. Millard
was a regular halfback on
the West End football team
last fall. His broken field
running was one of the fea-
lures Of Westerns play in the
inter-high series.
Baseball will be retained as
one of the four major sports
participated In by the local high
schools despite a move to abolish
it from the sports curriculum.
The suggestion to drop baseball
was made by Principal Frank
Daniels, Of Tech, but it was voted
down by the other principals. The
physical benefits derived from the
game by the, participants was
held sufficient basis for retaining
the sport.
A Is game schedule, the feature
Of which is the: contest with the
Princeton freshmen April 26, has
been arranged for the Central
high baseball team. The schedule
opens April 10. when the George
town freshmen will be met and
closes May a with a series game
with Tech;
Several innovations have been
planned for the Central team.
one of which calls for the players
to wear numerals about six inches
high on the left sleeve of the
uniform. This will be the first
time that any high school team
has adopted the numbering plan.
Another moVe at Central which
may be effected would see official
score cards on hand for all series
games.

GOLF PLAN
CHILL5 CLUBS
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
The suggestion of DR.. Bruce L.
Taylor, new president of the Dis
trict Golf Association, that there
be five invitation tournaments
here yearly and an open tourna-
ment added may never become
effective.
The main obstacle is that clubs
now holding Journeys wish to
continue their policies.
DR.. Taylor proposes that five
clubs Of the District Golf Associa-
tion hold invitation tournaments
one year and that five different
clubs hold Journeys the following
year. In place Of the tourna-
ments stricken from the list,
there would be instituted one in.
vitation tournament with all the
clubs taking part.
DIR. TaylOr'S plan is to have
this one big tourney serve
also. for the District amateur
championships. The 81 low
quahfierS and all ties would
play for the title. The bal
ance of the competitors would
be bracketed in flights of
sixteenS with suitable prizes
for each flight.
Qualifying rounds would take
place on two or more courses
with match play rounds on two
courses If necessary. The eX-
pei1ses of such mammoth
tourney could be shouldered by
the member clubs, either under
pro.rata basis or each club con.
trtbuting 500.
This proposal chilled the dele
gates at the annual meeting of
the association. Upon motion of
E. L. Brashears, of Beaver Dam,
it was referred to the executive
committee for further study.
In event Congressional decides
not to hold its tourney, there is
a strong possibility that Manor
Club or Beaver Dam will apply
for the dates reserved by Con-
gresSional. The association has
tentatively set aside June "a, 25,
2e and 81 for the Congressional
play, Beaver Dam is anxious to
blast forth with tourney,

GR|FF SEES
GOSL|N AS
ESSENTIAL
BY BOB THAYER

BILOXI, Miss, March 12.-The
Washington club is willing to
meet Goose Goslin more than
hall way, and so long as there
isr q chance of his getting in
shape for 1880 no action will be
4nstigated.
Three weeks, Clark Griffith
thinks, will be sufficient time for
the Goose to round into trim.
Goslin has played with US, a
long time" Griff explained today,
"and I'm the last man in the
world who wants to see him
lose out. ....
IF he accepts terms within the
next two weeks, well and good.
He knows how to train and 1t
wouldn't take him long to come
around"
Actually it seems that the Griff-
men can ill afford to forego Cos
Inns punch. And for this reason
every chance will be given HIM
to talk contract.
There Is little doubt but
what the GriffS need Slugging
@pOwer most. Should the
Goose not show up, it is un-
derstOOd Red Barnes will be
placed third in the batting
order.
The red head delivered smartly
two years ago. He was way off
stride in 1929, however, and is at
best a gamble.
Without Goslin the 1880 Wash
ington outfielder would not be so
hot. Although faithful Old Sammy
Rice looks as good as ever, Sam
West, premier American League
flyhawk, has yet to show hitting
strength. And Barnes and Loepp
are anything but sure bets.
There is every reason to be-
Heve that a compromise between
the baking slugger and his team
will be reached shortly. And the
Washington club will play its part
In making overtures.
Although it was reported
that measures toward suspend
ing Catcher Roy Spencer
had been taken several days
ago, such Is not the case.
.
President Griffith Is frankly
confused regarding the procedure
to be followed in the case of his
delinquent backStop. And he has
written E. S. Barnard, American
League president, for instructions.
Should Spencer accept terms in
the meantime he would be
eligible.
Manager Walter johnson today
named his official lineup for the
Washington clubs exhibition with
the New Orleans Pelicans Friday.
His order follows: West, center
field; Rice right field; Barnes,
left field: Judge, first base;
Bluege,$ third base: Cronin, short
stop; Hayes, second base; Tate,
catcher, and Hadley pitcher.

CUMBERLAND, Md. Dec. 29.-
Miss Janice j. Marshall, daughter
of Judge z. w. Marshall, Of the
Court Of Common Pleas of Pitts
burgh and Christopher (Cuddy)
DeMarco, prize fighter Of Char
leroi, Pa, planned to be married
In this city today. Their plans
were frustrated when they were
arrested as they reached the out
skirts OF the city late yesterday
afternoon. Now they are back
in Pittsburgh.
The couple left Pittsburgh
yesterday in Judge Marshall's
automobile.
The judge heard of the elope-
ment and telephoned the local
police charging DeMarco with the
theft Of the automobile.
Both the prize-fighter and the
pretty debutante took the arrest
lightly. They even joked about 1t.
DeMarco was locked in the jail,
while Miss Marshall was detained
at the Salvation Army Home I'M
til 4 O'Clock this morning, when
two members Of the Pennsylvania
State Constabulary arrived and
took them back to Pittsburgh.

ment by their own physicians.
The accident took place shortly
before 9 o'clock when the bus was
packed to capacity with persons
bound for work. A nuIGoer Of
passengers were standing in the
aisle.
The bus was travelling East on
K Street. AS it reached the in
tersection the Sarge Army truck,
operated by Private George L. Nc
Donald. of the Twenty-ninth mo-
tor transport, came north on
Twenty-firSt Street.
The bus had reached the mid
die of the intersection when the
heavy truck struck it broadside.
The bus tipped up in the air from
the impact, and for a moment
it looked as if it were going to
overturn. Mr.. Stokley. however,
cut his wheel over sharply and
managed to right his vehicle.
Truck Hits Car
The truck bounded off the bus
and skidded to the curb, where
it wrecked a parked car owned
by Policeman F. p. Martin, Of
No. 3 precinct.
Hearing the tremendous crash
as the truck tore the side out
of the bus. the Shattering OF glass
and the screams Of the trapped
victims, all policemen on duty in
the station rushed to the rescue.
A call for firemen and ambu-
lanceS was sounded, and the fire
rescue squad and Emergency Hos
pital ambulances joined in the
rescue work.
g Motorists Aids Workers
William Travers, 2039 K St.
N. W., was driving past at the
time. Stopping his car, he loaded
it with the injured and took
them to Emergency Hospital. Re
turning he took a second load to
the hospital.
Private Mcdonald, driver Of the
Army truck, was slightly injured.
He declared that he had the right
of way and that the bus was
speeding to beat him to the inter
section.
Mr.. Stokley, on the other hand,
said he was at the intersection
and that the soldier did not ap-
ply his brakes or that they would
not work.
Police and military authorities
have started an investigation Of
the accident.
Another bus accident took place
early today when a machine
driven by Eugene H. McMichel,
1889 Newton st. N. W., skidded
on the ice covered pavement at
Holmead and Monroe streets,
Northwest, and crashed into a

.5 MILLION CD
To FARMERS

An appropriation Of $45. 5.0O0, 900
for seed and feed loans to
drought-stricken farmers was rec
commended today by the House
Appropriations subcommittee on
deficiency matters. Both houses
Of Congress authorized the ap-
preparation before Christmas, but
did not vote the money.
The full committee is expected
to approve the fund on Monday
and Representative Wood CRJ Of
Indiana, chairman. announced
that immediate actio would be
asked when Congress reconvened
on January 5.
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
and other department officials
appeared before the COMMITTEES
and recommended that the en-
tire $4,000, 900, authorized be ap-
propriated.
During the fight on the au-
thoriZation bill Secretary Hyde
contended that $25 5,000, 900 was
sufficient. The House voted $780,
600, 900, the Senate $50. 900, 900
and a compromise was reached
at $45,OO0,0 900.
Hyde commented:
'T have not changed my
opinion that $25,OOO,OOO would
be sufficient to provide the
necessary lOanS," said Hyde.
II did, however, recommend
that Ghe entire amount author
lied by Congress be made avail
able. II we do not need II an II

SUPPORT
Democrats Back Proposal OF
Garner to Have Five-Year
Cash Payment at This Time

The proposal for immediate
cash conversion of adjusted
compensation certificates is max.
ing rapid headway in Congress.
A Democratic bloc has swung
behind the plan sponsored by
Representative Garner CD Of
Texas, Democratic leader in the
House, which calls for partial
five-year cash payment at this
time.
Fish Plan Similar
The Garner plan is similar In
some respects to that Of Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish (R) Of
New York, which calls for an
immediate IS per cent redemp-
ton.
The original plan sponsored by
Representative Wright Patman
CD, Of Texas, which calls for
full cash payment of the present
face value of certificates, also Is
winning support in both the
House and Senate.
Representative Patman yester-
day declared that the American
Legion Is not fighting his plan,
quoting the organizations new
commander as saying:
I'VE most certainly would
not oppose it."
Mellon "Gag" Cited
He also said the influence Of
Secretary Mellon had applied the
gag rule" to the free and fair
consideration Of the cash conver'
sion plan at the Boston conven-
ton Of the Legion and added:
False statements were circu-
lated that the legion should
not take action on my pro-
pOsal because it. was alleged
to be . partisan matter and
that I was attempting to
throw mud on the Admins
tratiOn."
All Of the veteran organize
tions will be found lined UP in
favor Of his plan when 1t iS

Eaton Wins Victory
The decision was a tremendous
victory for Cyrus 8. Eaton, Cleve'
land millionaire. who led the
bitter battle against the aonsum-
nation of the merger. It, like
wise. was q terrific setback for
officials of Sheet and Tube and
Bethlehem, who had resisted the
efforts of the Cleveland tinancler
to wreck the proposed consolida'
ton.
An immediate appeal was ex-
pected to be filed by proponents
of the merger. Officials and di-
rectors of the Youngstown con-
Germ went into a closed confer
ence Immediately upon being no
tiled.
Judge Jenkins decision was
handed down six months from
the inception Of the spectacular
industrial battle in which millions
of dollars were spent and in
which some of the most brilliant
legal minds in the nation par
ticipated.
Judge Voices Relief
Tn making public his verdict
in the case, Judge jenkins stated
with evident relief:
"This is a great load off my
shoulders"
The decision criticized the part
played in the negotiations by
HeH6y G. Dalton, a director Of
both companies.

President Eugene 3. Grace was

should have been revealed to the
stockholders.
Opponents Of the merger drew
the attack of the Judge for the
employment Of an independent ac-
counting firm to check the report
Of Price, Waterhouse and Com
pany, merger accountants. The
report filed by the anti-merger
firm was misleading, the decision
said.
Judge Jenkins made it clear in
his statement that his decision did
not attempt to deal exclusively
with the many issues Of the case.
Another Merger Open
The fight over the fate of
Youngstown Sheet and Tube was
truly one Of the greatest battles
In industrial history. All the
power of men and money was
thrown into the war, which was
carried into Common Pleas Court
here last June Is. The trial
lasted until November z. when
Judge jenkins took the noun
famous mass Of evidence and re-
tired to consider his verdict.
The decision leaves Sheet and
Tube AN independent concern and
paves the way for q combination
Of the Youngstown concern with
Eaton's own Republic Steel Cor
poration.
Actual negotiations for the
merger Of Sheet and Tube with
Bethlehem were begun last Janu-
ary. They were revealed in March
and, as soon as they were un-
yelled, the battle began.
