FIRST CONFESSION
 IS SECURED TO-DAY
Van Der Lubbe Admits Setting Fire to Reichs'
 stag Building
By HAROLD 4. PETERS

Leipzig, Germany, Sept 29-- (Up) -Marinus Van Der Lubbe, eccentric young Dutch stone mas on, confessed in the supreme court today that he get fire to the Berlin reichstng and caused q wave of popular anger that swept Adolf Hitler and his Nazis to power
 For eight days the red-robed Judges conducting the examination of the five defendants In the in- cendinry trial had led tediously up to the night of February 27 last when the great plenary hall of the reichstag building burst into flames.
 Today, after n procession or minor witnesses had testified the 24-year- old Dutchman was recalled.
 Are you ready to testify" ask ed Presiding Justice Wilhelm Buenger who in Van Der Lubbe's previous appearances on the stand had struggled to get coherent tes- timony from the mumbling, nut tering young man.
 T am ready" Van Der Lubbe re- piled.
 Did you st. fire to the reichs- tag building on February 27? DO you admit yourself guilty of the of- fense?"
 "Yes," responded Van Der Lubbe clearly.
 It is the prosecution contention that he was the tool of communists including his four fellow defend ants.
 They are Ernst Torgler 40 whip and leader of the communist party in the reichstag; Georg Dim. itroff. 51, a writer; Wassil Taneff 36, a shoemaker, and Blagoi Pop of. 31, a student. The four are ad' mitted communists. All but Torg' Ter are Bulgarians.
 The communists contend that Van Der Lubbe, once known to be of communist tendencies If not af' filiations, had, been making pro- Nazi statements for two years, and it is their defense that he fired the building as a tool of Nazis to dis credit communists.

An Old French Custom

If race track owners really
want to protect the public from
the doping evil which will be
pretty well exposed by Uncle
Sam before he is through his
newest crusade, they could well
copy the custom popular at race
tracks on the. European CONT
ent.
The French, in particular,
have a dope box, to which the
stewards order a horse after the
stable is suspected of doping 1T
in a race. A careful eye is kept
for symptoms of a doped race,
and the suspected victims OF
the needle or other forms OF
"pepping up" are sent to spe-
cial stall where foam from the
animals mouth in analyzed.
Chemists can tell from this
specimen test whether foreign
or injurious drugs or habit
forming stimulants have been
used, once a stable is found
srliltv of such a practice; it is
given a lay-off, the minimum
! term of which is usually year.
The Washington times., 1933-08-02

From the newcomers record
it would seem Mr.. Griffith knew
just what he was doing when he
made the transfer, but even so
the fact remains, Chapman is
faced with the task of delivering
the goods before the complete eff"
on the transaction is wiped off
the slate and put away in the
20. k" bag.
One thing about the deal is
this. The Griffs apparently ac-
quired a starting pitcher in ex-
change for the game-saving Nc
Afee. but still it must be shown
whether this starter" can pitch
as we'll in big league company as
in minor league surroundings.
In view of this doubt, Manager
Joe Cronin will probably pit
Chapman against his first major
league foe as soon as the near
est opportunity presents itself. If
the test is successful, then the
Griffs can be said to have added
just the strength needed in the
mound department to carry them
through to a most desired cham
pionship this year.
Bright Future Seen.
If not, we'll, the entire incident
can and will be put down as just
anotl4 of those things that
happen in baseball year in the
year out. But we won't go too
far on that subject, particularly
when the youngsters chances of
being quite success are so
bright.

Team Fights Back

Perhaps this is local pride, but
It just seems to me Washington
looks just a little better losing
than do the Yanks.
Take Tuesdays 13-to-9 game.
Washington certainly fought
back in that one and came from
q long, long ways behind. OF
course it's rallies came too late
to do any good, but it never quit
and a team that fights back is
pretty apt to eventually get
somewhere.
Disintegration has certainly
set in on the Yankees.
The working parts of the club
have been assembled so long
they are beginning to creak
here and there, whereas a splen'
did balance of youth and ex-
perience seems to pervade the
local club.
I may be looking through. rose
colored glasses, or perhaps the
heat has overtaken me, but I
still like Washington and it will
take a lot of punishment to get
me away from the yen I have
for the clubs 1888 chances.
The Washington times., 1933-08-02

has brought Russell or Burke to
the hill recently. But both of these
hurlers are more valuable to the
club as relief men rather than
starters.
Here is where Chapman can
make good. BY proving he can
win as a major Lacquer as well as
minor Lacquer, the youngster
will solve Manager Cronin's prob
lem and become that fourth"
pitcher after Stewart, CroWder
and Whitehill have worked their
three usual games.
This will enable Cronin to have
not only Russell and Burke as re-
lief men, but Thomas and Weaver
in the future. All of which will
mean a lot when the going be-
comes warmer and warmer in that
stretch drive due to begin when
the team entrains west again.
