ITALIA MASSIE
ON WAY HOME;
OUTWITS LAW
Accepts Court Writ as Ship
Sails for u. S.
Port.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press stan Correspondent

HONOLULU, May 9.-Thaha For
tescue Massie, central figure in
Hawaii's famed honor Staying case,
was safe aboard a mainland bound
liner today after an opera bouffe
chase. in which she dashed through
companion ways and slammed
doors to elude painting detectives
armed with subpenas.
One minute before the Malolo
sailed. Mrs. Massie accepted the
summons to appear in court against
four islanders accused Of attack
ing her. She surveyed it calmly,
locked her cabin door. and the ship
cleared, leaving officers with an
empty victory
Clarence Darrow. elderly chief
defense counsel for her mother,
husband and two navy enlisted men
in a murder trial growing out Of
the attack, shot a glance at the
receding dock. The liners white
prov was abreast Diamond Head,
symbol of Hawaiian mystery and
romance.
"AII Over Now"
Its all over now" he said, smil-
ingly shaking his head.
Also aboard the Malolo, bound for
San Francisco, were Lieutenant
Thomas H. Massie and his mother
-in-law, Mrs. Granville Roland
Fortescue, two of the defendants
convicted for Staying Joe Kahaha-
wal. one of the half-castes accused
of mistreating Mrs. Massie.
They sailed with their ten-year
prison terms committed to one hour
of technical custody, but without a
promised decision from Governor
Lawrence M. Judd on their applica-
tons for full pardons.
They remained ex-convicts in the
laws eyes. and must win a pardon
or specific congressional action TO
regain their civil rights.
Although Judd had said he would
decide on the pardons Saturday,
and then stayed away from his Of
fee. Darrow indicated there was
no hurry" about the matter. He
appeared willing to let the case rest
for the present.
Darrow's insistence that Mrs
Massie forego testifying at the sec
ond trial of the Ala Moana attack
case indirectly was responsible for
the shipboard chase. during which
passengers shouted with glee. and
navy officers challenged heavy
footed detectives to fisticuffs.
Trial Held Futile
Darrow insisted that another tria'
was futile since a jury at the first
trial had beard her story, and Their
failed to agree after celebrating
ninety-seven hours.
Prosecutor John c. Kelley. who
won conviction of Mrs. Fortescue
Lieutenant Massie and the two sea-
men, Albert Jones and Edward
Lord, was explosive in his wrath
and disgust He had the Ala
Moana retrial set for May 25, and
on permission of navy officers sent
process servers to Pearl Harbor
base with summons for Mrs. Massie

FIGURES DON'T G|VE'
TR|O'S TRUE WORTH.
CuyIer ExceIs WobbIy Babe,
Stephenson Strong and
Moore Has Speed.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

N YEW YORK, September o.
nj Unless the leading expo
nent of the strategic value
of the home run, Babe
Ruth, is In much improved health
a week hence, the Yankees likely
will not show any advantage over
the Chicago Cubs in so far as the
cleanup blows Of their outf1elders
are concerned in the forthcoming
battle for the base ball cham
pionShip of the world.
1t is true the Yankees, on paper. show
a heavier punch, but this is Offset by
the fact Ruth has to contend with a
bigger ''tummy ache" than all the rest
of the outfielders combined.
II the Babe Is not in there next week
doing something besides roaring his de-
dance to the enemy on wobbly legs, the
Cubs may pluck up sufficient courage
forthwith to chase the Yankees all over
Col Ruppert's expensive premises in the
Bronx, to say nothing of what may
happen when the Bruins have their
hometown cheers to spur them on.
Cuyler Gathering Speed.
The only real difference between the
two outfield groups is represented by
the batting averages Of Ruth and XXI
Cuyler, who patrols right field for the
Cubs. The unofficial season figures are
.348 for Ruth and only .286 for Cuyler,
but that doesn't tell the real story.
Where Ruth has been laid up and lost
considerable of his much-needed
strength, Cuyler has come down the
home stretch like forest fire famed
by gale. The feet Kiki has been pro-
ducing the big cleanup wallop when
the Bruins needed it. He had such a
poor start over the first two or three
months of the season that his present
average does not disclose he has been
hitting well over 800 for the last six
weeks
Taking these facts into consideration,
plus Cuyler's far superior defensive skill
end base-running ability, the Cubs
figure to concede little or nothing to
their American League rivals in the
outfeld.
Stephenson Good Hitter.
The veteran Riggs Stephenson is a
much more dangerous, consistent hitter
than Ben Chapman. the Yankees left
fielder, who will menace the opposition
most when he can do his speed stun
ON the bases.
The Kentucky colonel, Earle Combs,

tearing through his side. He went to

1t has been at just such times as
this In the past that Ruth rose to
his greatest heights. Hobbling on an
injured leg, swinging with one hand be-
cause of damaged wrist. Ill with fever
