Medical testimony is to deter
mine whether the story of the early
Sunday morning shooting ARRAY In
the Connecticut Hotel was an ac-
cident among friends or the after
math of a quarrel. Three wit
nesses including the wounded man
testified that it was q mishap, but
Judge T. ". Meyer insisted upon
confirmation of the report that the
youth charged with the shooting
actually shot himself in the hand
or is merely "bluffing."
The unexpected demand was
made at the conclusion of the
presentation of evidence in the case
of william Fitzachery, 81. charged
with assault and breach of the

prove that the defendant, an ex-

Aqua CALIENTE, Mex, March
19.tU.P)-It appeared probable to-
day that IL horses will face the

Good and Hot, Marine, Seth's Hope,
Scimitar, Bahamas, Cabezo and Joe
Flores.
Money was being showered down
on Phar Lap to win, with indica-
tions that at post time he might be
an oddS-on favorite. The odds were
slightly advanced yesterday, from

money in his favor was expected to
shorten the odds today. 1t was re-

OAKLAND, Calf, March 18.
W.PA-George Willingham, the Cal
exico, Calf, youth who had to pay
his own expenses to the Oakland
training camp, is setting meager
exhibition game crowds on their
ears this week. A bright spot in
an otherwise drab baseball picture
is Willingham's fielding in the To-
cal park.
Thursday he electrified the fans
with a thrilling one-handed catch
of Billy Rhiels high line drive.
Friday he robbed two Detroit Tiger
Sluggers of hits with great catches.
Rhiel was the victim of one,
barehanded snatch of a liner, while
George had his shoulder blades
pressed to the right field fence.
He robbed Richardson of a Texas
Lacquer with running one-handed
catch. Manager Carl zamlock is
sure he can find a place on his
club for the ambitious rookie.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
In TODAY'S NEWS
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 10. - One
has but to cock none too sensi-
lively attuned ear outward these
days to hear a low moaning sound
from the direction of the tall
sassafras. For the benefit of those
who speak old-fashioned English,
that is, those who persist in saying
get out of here" when they mean
"scram," tall sassafras is just a city
slicker's designation for those sec
tions of the nation not bounded
on all four sides by large city.
This meaning sound is being
given off by the major league base
ball owners. 1t is especially pro-
nounced around eventide when the
club treaSurers gather to count the
intake of the exhibition games.
Heretofore the owners did a Jig
when the spoils were announced
This year residents of the tall
sassafras, or sassafrassers, for
short, are staying away from these
exhibition games with reckless
abandon. 1t seems that the sassa-
frasSers read the three shelters
telling of the mighty conflict sched-
uled for that afternoon, and then
take nap, wash the car feed the
pigeons and shoot craps on the
village green.
Many blame this lack of interest
to the depression. This is a safe
thing to do. The depression has
been blamed for everything from
fall of the Roman empire to the
wreck of old go and the shooting
of Dan McGreW. But I don't think
the depression has anything to do
with it. I think the boys and girls
in the tall celery have finally be-
come smart, got hep to themselves.
See Only Rockies
For many years the sassafrassers
have been plunking out one and
two bucks to get in the park where
the major leaguers put on their
practice games. They walked in
all hoped up over the prospect
of seeing the men they had been
reading about for years-the Ruths,
the Gehrighs, the Simmonses and
the Frischs-play baseball. And
what did the owners serve them?
A regular game between regulars?
Don't make me laugh. They served
'em a burlesque of a game played
between teams composed of seven
parts rockies and one part regulars.
Where Ruth was supposed to
stand, stood a guy named Byrd.
Instead of a Frisch, a bird named
Mclaughlin, perhaps, was at Sec
ond. And SO on down the line
Now the Byrds and the McLaugh-
Inns may be lovely boys-boys who
send $25 home each week to help
old ladies cross the street-bul
thy aren't worth paying two bucks
to watch.
The refusal of the sassafrassers
to pay for such doings is health;
sign. The nation is waking up
People are thinking for themselves
Who knows but that in a year o.
two we'll have a full dinner pail.
