topped 1,100 consecutive contests
before illness floored him a year
ago.
Now Lou, the husky, is in a
fair way to challenge both rec
ords. Yesterday he participated
in his eight hundredth and
ninety-seventh consecutive ball
game. And being a young fel-
low-and dead game with it
there is every reason to believe
he may crack all existing marks.
OF still more interest to Wash
ingtonians are the circumstances
surrounding LOUIS marathon per

On The Job
Right now the former Colum-

tightly strapped. Yet he stoutly
refuses to leave the lineup.

about that"
Since replacing Wally Pipp as
regular first sacker in 1925 Lou
has kept on the job. Frequently
under seemingly insurmountable
obstacles.
Several injuries threatened to
snap his streak a year ago, but
dogged determination and a stout
heart kept him active. Therefore
don't be surprised if, in time.

Introducing, ladies and gentle

Striking out 10 men in six and
two-thirds innings and getting
credit for a to 7 triumph over
Joe McCarthy's New York

left-hander'S sterling performance.

That Fischer is to get his
chance to go nine innings was in
timated by Manager Walter john
son today.
He said:
you've simply got to find
room for pitching like that. I've
seldom seen better exhibition"
A game that should have been
played on Halloween rather than
in April found Washington lower

One of the noteworthy Incl
dents was the Punishment CT

training this season. And his
progress has been closely fol-

the Old Fox declares, "and I'm

Pitcher Ad Liska's injured
right arm must be in shape when
he rejoins the Washington club!
President Clark Griffith made
this announcement today.
He said:
1--WE instructed Liska to work
out with the Lincoln, Neb., ball
team whenever his whip is fit.
1 want some assurance of his
condition before bringing him
back.
"LincOln's in a small league
and Ad can get in just the
practice ickS he needs. That
is, if the surgeon he's visiting
is able to mend his injury"
Should genial Ads wing fail to
do a comeback, Griff declares, the
Washington club will have no
alternative other than to place
him on the voluntarily retired
list.
I'D hate to be forced to
make such a move" ;" he declares,
''and rest assured 1 won't If it
can be avoided. ADS a fine
young fellow with plenty Of
natural ability. And we're all
pulling for him.
eff he returns in good trim,
he will get every chance to de-
liver. That failing of course,
other steps will be necessary"
Likes Weaver
Before checking out for Lincoln
last week, Liska confessed that
his arm panied him on and off
the playing field. Furthermore, he
divulgcd the aching centered
around his right shoulder.
Ad suffered q similar setback
in 1927, but visit to the same
surgeon who is treating him
now Strengthened him out.
Nothing has been heard from
the youthful, submariner since he
left Washington. Consequently his
physical progress and likely length
of absence from the Griffmen
remain deep, dark secrets.
Because he's too valuable to
spare for even a limited period
unless necessity compelS it,
Outfielder Sam West is pre-
pairing for another Outfield
fling.
The fleet Texan, who has been
missing from the lineup for some
time because of damaged left
arm, resumed batting practice
yesterday. After working out, he
declared he felt no i'll effects
and will be ready to play in
q few days.
Vests next appearance will be
IN the nature of a test. If he
survives it we'll and good. But If
he suffers a. recurrence OF the
swelling in his arm he will be
sent to Chicago where Doctor
Kruschner, who worked wonders
with Red" Faber and Moe" Berg
sometime ago, will perform a
minor operation calculated to re-
move an offending growth in his
salary wing.
"There'S just a chance that
Sam may be able to fight off
an operation until next fall"
Griffith insists, "and we need
him badly. That's why he
hasn't been operated on al
ready"

Friday stilled forever the dainty
fragile form Of Anna Pavlova, whose
dancing stirred millions, civilized man
and savage alike. She would have
been Is years old Jan. 81.
Pleurisy and influenza contracted
early this week after she had been
held for hours by q railroad accident
In a waiting train at Dion, France,
rang down the curtain upon q life
which for IS years she devoted to de-
picting in rhythmatic movement the
beauty she saw around her.
With her at the end were her hus-
band and accompanist, Victor
D'Andre, two Dutch physicians, and
her own Russian doctor, Professor
Valerski, who Thursday resorted to
q pulmonary operation in q vain at
tempt to save her life.
Death interrupted her plans to in
terpret for occidentals what she had
found of grace and beauty in q recent
visit to Japan, China. and Asiatic
countries. Upon completion of this
project she intended to retire. fulfill
ing a promise that she would leave
the stage while in the prime of life.
Denounced by the bolsheviki as the
Darling of A~ristocrats," she died in
virtual exile from the Russia in which
she was born. She began her ballet
lessons at the age of 10. In recent
years communist influences had led
to rejection of annual contributions
Of $500 from her to other Russian
dancers.
It was during her last visit to the
United States in 1924, that she an
nounced her marriage to D'Andre, her
accompanist, later revealing that it
had taken place II years before.
Other details of her life she kept
secret, with the plea that the public
regards the artist a. an illusion. and
she preferred to remain SO.

Cut Restrictions
On Liquor Prescriptions
Copeland Introduces Measure
Carrying Out Commissions
Recommendation

Washington, Jan. 23.-R)NA bill to
remove restrictions On the distribu-
ton of prescription liquor by physi-
clans as recommended by the Wick
ersha1n commission, was introduced
Friday by Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat, New York.
The New Yorker said the bill was
designed to carry out the only recon-
mendations the law enforcement COM
mission had been able to agree upon
AS far as he could see.
Prior to submitting suggestions
concerning control Of medicinal IL
quor, the commission concluded the
removal Of present restrictions would
remove causes Of resentment on the
part of the medical profession"
while the bulk ot>the profession
have undoubtedly been scrupulous in
adherence to the law" its report
said. prosecutions have been neces-
sary from time to time and palpable
evaSions or violations come to light
continually.
But we are satisfied that in sew
eral particulars the causes Of resent
ment on the part Of the medical pro-
fession operate against a favorable
public opinion to such an extent as
to outweigh the advantages to en-
forcement."
In addition to recommending that
the statutory fixing of the amount
OF liquor to be prescribed by physi-
clans be abolished, the commission
recommended abolition of the re-
quirement Of specifying the ailment
for which liquor is prescribed upon a
blank to go into the public files"
1t recommended also leaving as
much as possible to regulations rath-
er than fixing details by statute"

DEADLOCKED JURY
STILL DELIbERATES
DAISY DEbOE CASE
Have but Faint Hope Of Reach.
ing Verdict in Case Against
CIara's Secretary

Los Angeles, Jan. 23.-R-A tired,
deadlocked Jury went to work Friday
with only faint hopes Of reaching a
verdict on whether Daisy De Doe stole
|415,8M from Clara Bow, film TT"
girl. her former employer.
Twice Thursday the jurors reported
to Superior Judge william G. Doran
that prospects for an agreement were
nil, but each time the court ordered
them back to work.
They were locked up again Thurs
day night after having deliberated
about 80 hours. just before they re-
tired, q part of Daisy's alleged con-
fession to a prosecuting attorney was
re-read to them.
When the jurors expressed the
opinion that they would never agree
any better than Daisy and Clara did.
Judge Doran announced he would not
keep them squabbling later than Sat-
urday.
Deputy District Attorney David
Clark, said he would begin prepara-
lions for a new trial in the event the
jury was discharged in disagreement.
The elderly men and women jurors
were bordering such questions as
permanency in the keeping of an en-
ployer's money by a servant and the
element Of intent as 1t might apply to
the evidence.
The jury's apparent deadlock
brought expressions Of confidence
from the defendant. What reaction
Miss Bow might have had in her
Beverly Hills home. where she Is con-
fined with a cold, was not determined.
