FOUR IN FIELD
RATE HEAVY
FAVOR|TES
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

successful attempt to repulse the
invasion Of the Philadelphia
women golfers, the local feminine
players will battle among them
selves to determine which Of their
number will wear the royal robes
Of a champion.
Starting today and continuing
until Friday, the annual women's
District golf championship will be
contested over the Manor Club
course and field Of over so will
compete.
There is doubt that the defend
ing champion, Mrs. Betty Palmer
Meckley, Of Indian Spring, will be
at the starting tee for the qualify
ing round today. She has been
suffering from a sprained back
and hasn't had a club in her hands
for over two weeks.
Layoff Would Hurt
In case Mrs. Meckley does COM
pete, it will be only gesture for
she is hardly expected to do JUS
tice to her game after her pro-
longed layoff.
Excluding Mrs. Meckley, the
for: outstanding contestants seem
to be Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes, Co
lumbia; Mrs. Everett Eynon, Co
lumbia; Mrs. Hugh T. Nicholson,
unattached, and Miss Winitred
Faunce, Manor.
These four played sensational
golf in their matches against the
Philadelphia women golfers over
the National Woman's Country
Club course yesterday, though the
visitors won by a margin Of 1914
to 10Ha points.
Turn Back ex.ChampiOnS
Mrs. Haynes and Miss Faunce
paired to turn back Mrs. Dorothy
Campbell Hurd and Mrs. c. H.
Vanderback, No. / team of the
Philadelphians and two former
national women champions, 21a
to one-half points. Mrs. Nichol-
son and Mrs. Eynon divided with
the No. 2 team Of the Philadel-
phians, Miss Frances Williams
and Miss Jane McCulloch, ia to
~ points.
Miss Faunce could be rated
an overwhelming favorite for the
championship as the champion
ship is being played over her
home course. Her long game
outstrips any in the field but her
short game and work on the
greens is faulty.
Others who should figure in
the running are Miss Virginia
Pope, Kenwood; Miss Virginia
Williams, Congressional; Mrs. Y.
E. Booker, Chevy Chase; Mrs.
Hume Wrong, Chevy Chase. and
Mrs. Harrison Brand, jr. Chevy
Chase.

z TWIN BILLS
SCHEDULED
IN SERIES
By GARRETT WATERS

To get after those Yankees.
That's the aim of the Griffmen
these days as another series with
the McCarthymen nears.
Yes sir, Manager Walter John
sons gang are all popped up at
this stage of the pennant race be-
cause they see visions of coping
the we'll known flag.
But to do this little thing they
realize they must accomplish two
things. First and most important
is the downing of the Philadel-
phia AS, who, they feel, are still
to be figured, while second, it is
the victimizing of the Yanks,
who, fate will have it, are to be
met later this week, or from
Thursday to Saturday, to be
exact.
To get after those Yankees is
a special aim right now because
our same, said Griffs want to
wipe them off the list as a con-
tender as soon as possible. A
real break in the near series will
work towards this end, and, of
course, it is hoped that success
will reward all efforts put for
ward by Manager Johnson and
his men.
Pretty Tough
Incidentally, it's going to be
pretty tough business to wipe out
the Yankees this early in view
of the strain of two double
headers scheduled in the series.
Thursday, when the Griffs hit
Gotham, two games will face
right on the bat, while on Satur.
day the series will terminate
with two more COMMISSIONING.
ing out the thorough test Man
ager Johnson's pitchers will be
under.
The Griffs will have their sup
posed best available for Thurs
days twin bill, according to the
present plans. General Alvin
Crowder and Lefty Lloyd Brown
are to pitch. For Fridays single
contest of the series, no doubt
Bobby Burke will get the call,
with Monte Weaver and Carl
Fischer seeing duty Saturday.
Monte Weaver was to get the
assignment in the second game
of the current series against the
Browns today. The Professor
hasn't started a contest since
the opener of the series against
the Chicago White Sox about 10
days ago.
Should Be o. X.
Weaver lost this game, 1t will
be remembered, because the Sox
got to him in the early innings
for runs which proved too great
a handicap for the Griffs to over
come. With plenty of rest, how.
ever, since that effort, Monte
should be ready to get back into
the winning column today and
pitch in the form that was his
during these first four games he
won. Weaver's complete record
for the season reads, four games
won against only one lost in five
starts.
No doubt Sam Gray will be on
the mound for the Browns. Al
ways a nemesis, the Griffs face
the opportunity of proving that
they can beat another good
pitcher-if they only turn the
trick against Gray today.

amendment to the constitution.
A hundred and eight names already
have been signed to the petition, filed
Thursday, which seeks to have the
house recall from the unfriendly judi
ciary committee q resolution which
would submit the new amendment to
the people. The total number of
signatures needed is las. Represent
alive Linthicum of Maryland, chair
man of the Democratic anti-prohibi-
ton unit, was confident that many
or more names would be secured.
II the las sign, the petition will be
acted upon after March IA. It will
take majority Of the house to bring
the resolution to the floor. Such
majority is not expected, but the
membership will have to put its
names down In black and white on
the question. This is the chief OBJ
jective Of the anti prohibitionists, In
an effort to demonstrate the strong
increase In their ranks they claim
since the last prohibition vote was
taken.

CHANCELLOR WINS VICTORY
Mont Confidence Motion Against
Bruening Is Lost BY Vote
of 26o-264

Berlin, Feb. 26.-(P)-By a vote of
368 to IS, the German Reichstag Fri
day defeated communist motion to
stop all payment of tribute based on
the Versailles treaty and annul all
private debts to capitalistic coun-
tries"
Adolf Hitler's national socialists,
the nationalist and the populists, all
numbered among the opposition to
Chancellor Bruening, voted against
the motion, but they said afterward
they would have accepted the first
part of the proposal had it been Of
fered separately.
In other words, they said, the de-
feat of this motion does not mean
there Is in the Reichstag a majority
favoring continuation OF reparations
payments.
A combined non-confidence motion
against the Bruening government
was defeated in the Reichstag by a
vote of 289 to 264.
The vote came as q climax of four
days of debate On the presidential
election situation and gave the gov
eminent 10 more votes than it had
expected in predicting victory for
Bruening. That prediction was based
on 15-vote margin.
The vote, which in effect reposes
confidence in the often assaulted
government of the chancellor Of de-
crees" followed closely unanimous
decision of the Reichstag to fix presi-
Dental election dates for March 10

ton against William Groener. minis
ter of the defense and the interior,
was defeated, 305 to ESQ.
The attempt to unseat the Bruen-
ing government was on combined
motion by the Nazis of Adolf Hitler,
the nationalist, the populists, and
the communists.

New York, Feb. 26.-(R-John J.
Raskob, chairman Of the Democratic
national committee, hears ION good
information" that President Hoover
will run for reelection on a prohibi-
ton referendum platform IF his
party should adopt such q platform. 4"
The statement was made by Raskob
following a speech before the New
York Young Democratic club.
The Democratic chairman offered
the comment in answer to a question
as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of the Demo-
cratic party's pushing Raskob's home
rule plan In year when the party
has unusual opportunities" for sue
cess.
Raskob's reply was to state he had
it ION good information" that Presi-
dent Hoover has expressed his will
ingneSs to run on q platform that
contained wet" plank. He pointed
out the president had been regarded
by drys as their leader. and that If
he should run on a platform favoring
a referendum on prohibition the drys
would consider him "a Judas, and will
vote for the Devil before they vote
for him."
AS far as his own home rule plan
for solution Of the prohibition Is con-
cerned, Raskob said he presented it
to the national committee as a plan
that would avoid giving the Demo
cratic South "a slap In the face" and,
because he feared the Republicans
might propose such q plan themselves.
Raskob charged Republicans are
apt to split the Democratic party by
efforts to create sectional feeling. The
he added, will say any

APPROVES
Big CREDIT MEASURE,
SENDS IT TO HOOVER
Short-SeIIing on Markets De-
Tended; Road Bill Given
Right Of Way

Washington. Feb. 26.-(P,-Con-
gressional action on the credit ex-
pansion bill was completed Friday.
The senate approved the confer
ence report adjusting differences
over the legislation between the two
branches of congress within an hour
after the house had given its formal
approval.
The measure, opening the way for
new credit for the nations banks
from the federal reserve system and
freeing millions in gold for new cur
rency, now goes to the white house.
President Hoover was expected to
sign 1t quickly.
Senator Glass 3D., Va co-sponsor
of the legislation, brought the con-
ference report before the senate as
soon as it was received from the
house. He made brief explanation
of the agreement and without an
other word of discussion or roll call
the senate approved the bill.
Hoover Well Pleased
Senator Walcott (R., Conn., re-
ported the president was well
pleased" with the bill as it emerged
from conference with the capitaliza-
ton limit of 100000 imposed by
the senate raised to $5,000,000. This
change will allow all but a handful
of banks in the federal reserve sys-
tenn to enjoy the new rediScounting
privileges.
Meanwhile, Peter Carey. president
of the Chicago Board of Trade, told
a house committee it might just as
well close the country's grain mar
kets as to give the secretary of agri-
culture power to stop short-selling.
Earlier in the day. Senator Walcott
R., Conn., said after a conference
with President Hoover they had gone
over a list of New York bear raid
ers" who may be called before the
senate banking committee which be-
gins an investigation Saturday of
short-selling on the stock exchanges.
