BANK OFFICIALS
DENY LIABILITY
FOR LOSSES
Copartnership Ceased in 1929,
Park Savings Directors
Contend in Lawsuit

Directors of the Park Savings
Bank launched their fight today
in the District Supreme Court suit
off the depositors to hold the di-
rectors personally liable for the
banks losses.
Joseph T. Sherrier, of counsel
for the directors, vigorously OPP
posed arguments of depositors'
counsel that the directors of the
defunct bank were acting as CO.
partners in operating the bank
since the expiration of its Ala
bama charter in August, 1929.
CO-PartnerShip Ended
Even though the charter had
expired Sherrier said the State of
Alabama had the sole right to
question the banks action since
1929 and asserted that the bank
was a de facto corporation up TO
the time the Treasury receiver
took charge of its assets last
spring.
Further attacking the position
of the depositorS Sherrier pointed
out that the depoSitorS had dealt
with the bank as a corporation
for four years and are not estop-
ped from claiming that it was
co-partnership simply to further
their own interests.
The bank went into receivership
last spring with $2,OOO,O0O short
age after the suicide of its vice
president, Robert Stunz.
Until several preliminary mat
tiers are disposed of, Justice Jesse
C. Adkins will be unable to get
into the merits of the case.
r. C. F. Scores Point
The only signal development
thus far in the case has been the
dismissal, temporarily, of the suit
as far as the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation is concerned.
William E. Fits, attorney for R.
F. c., was sustained in his claim
that the r. F. C. made loans to
the bank in good faith and in an
effort to keep the institution
open. If the money was de-
faulted, it could not be deemed
the loss of the r. F. c., he said.

The unexpected in sports al.
ways gives rise to new interest.
It also offers entertainment and
incentive for that which may re-
suit later.
The current inter-high school
series football race is developing
this unusual momentum very
quickly these days. in fact, as each
game gets around.
Yesterday the unexpected oc-
CURED most viciously in the East

Eastern finally won, 18 to o. It
was supplied by the Western
eleven even though the score tells
that Coach Ahern's boys were
beaten and beaten decisively.
When the two teams took the
field, Western began with the i'm.
preston that it was the underdog
and that it was going to be
trampled down regardless of how
ragged a game Eastern might put
up.
The fans in the stands carried
the same impressions, even those
cheering for Western. And it was
Just one of those things because
Eastern ruly possessed the better

The game opened. Eastern,

Immediately after gaining the
ball, found that a stubborn foe
was lined up against them-that
a battle was ahead if any touch
downs were going to be scored at
all.
A touchdown finally came late
tn the first quarter. But the
Lincoln ParkerS had to wait for a
break before scoring as Western
continually kept its head up and
heart steadfast from whistle to
whistle.
The first half soon ended. East
ern led, 6 to 0. It was the un-
expected as the dopesters had fig
ured the margin would be much
larger by that time. Still it wasn't

Instead the breaks favored East

halfback, intercepted q Western
pass, thrown by Jimmy Corcoran
in the third quarter, to run SIS
yards for a touchdown.
Then in the fourth quarter, an
other break enabled Eastern to
register. Western tried a punt
about midfield, but 1t was blocked
by Joe Keegin, star Eastern quar-
terback.

ball, but grabbed it in time to run
to Westerns 10-yard line where

full bit of strategy at that mo-
ment of the game.
The moral of all this narrows
down to a most interesting fact.
Western doesn't possess a cham
