Jury GETS DETAILS
Of ECKLUND DEATH
CoIored Defendants Claim
They Were Forced Into
Robbery Attempt.

Details Of the fatal shooting of Elmer
H. Ecklund during the attempted new
House Office Building pay roll robbery
January 20 were related to a jury in
District Supreme Court yesterday by the
two colored hold-up men on trial with
two white youths on first-degree murder
charges.
The colored men, Claude Myers and
Fewel Workman, testified they were
forced into the robbery attempt by Al
bert Ernest Cash and Everett Lee Black
well, whom the Government claims are
equally guilty with them. Myers said
the two white men threatened to kill
him and Workman if they did not go
through with the robbery and then to
go to New York and get some one who
would not be afraid.
Re-enact HoId-Up.
Re-enacting the hold-up and shoot
ing, Myers leveled an empty gun at As
sistant United States Attorney in the
crowded court room yesterday and DEM
onstrated how he shot Harry Stumm,
Ecklund's companion and fellow en-
ploye.
"I don't know whether I said 1t or
not, but as soon as my gun started
shooting and I saw the man was hit,
WQaC wanted 10 say WAS EACuSe uie,
mister" Myers said.
He testified his revolver was of 80
caliber, casting doubt for the first time
on the prosecutions theory that the
bullet which killed Ecklund was fired
by Workman. The slug taken from the
dead mans body was fired from .32-
caliber gun, 1t had been testified. Myers
said Workman's gun was a .25-caliber
automatic.
Myers and Workman offered the first
direct testimony of the trial of the
presence of both Blackwell and Cash
at the scene of the shooting Blackwell
watched them from nearby corner to
make sure they did not falter, they de-
clared, and Cash waited a short dis
tance away in his taxicab to take them
from the scene
Court Adjourned.
Following Myers testimony the court
adjourned until tomorrow morning.
The trial has been in progress since
last wednesday and indications yester-
day were that it might continue through
Monday.
The defense of insanity was offered
yesterday to save Workman from the
electric chair, an alienist testifying he
was feeble minded with trends toward
dementia praecox.
Myers defense was that he was drunk
and that the shooting was accidental.

One of Luke's chief attributes
is his brains. The veteran has
been in the big leagues a long
time now and surely knows what
it is all about when it comes to
fooling batters.
And another thing, SeW'ell is a
great team player. Your Uncle
Clark Griffith was one Of the first
to notice this several seasons ago
and has been a big booster for
the former Alabama athlete ever
since.
So far during the exhibition
games, Manager Cronin has been
giving Luke the assignment one
day and either Cliff Bolton or
Moe Berg the next. This does
not mean that Luke, veteran
player that he is, has slowed up
in any way and that many rests
will be given him this summer.
Nurses SewelI Along
Quite to the contrary it points
to the little item that pilot Joe
is nursing his new receiver along
as slowly and as easily as he can
as once the season opens Luke
will be catcher number one for the

tinue to be despite the fact that
Cliff Bolton has improved vastly
this spring and is ready to take a
regular turn behind the bat when

to give the call.

INDIAN SPRING
PRO THWARTS
DEF|ERS

No sooner had George Diffen-
baugh, Indian Spring pro, re-
turned from the North and South
Open at Pinehurst than he was
challenged to a golf match by
Tom Belshe, golf chairman; Jack
Pence and George j. Richardson.
Ever responsive, Diffenbaugh
accepted but stated he could
play only nine holes. This was
agreeable and the four started
out on the last nine, par for
which is SO.
Diffenbaugh sped around the
entire nine in "a, which stunned
his challengers. However, Belshe
and Pence were but one over par
themselves while Richardson
carded 38.

in that trade for Spencer last
winter, he got him because he
felt he could stand the strain
every day, also because he is
smart and a wonderful player.
Therefore, Luke will be our regu-
lar backStOp this year and will
catch every game unless too
many dOubleheaders crop up or
injuries hit Luke unexpectedly"
edIy."
BY these words, Cronin doesn't
mean to take anything away from
Cliff Bolton, his young receiver.
Bolton Promising
The boy pilot thinks Bolton one
of the most promising rockies in
the game and means to help him
in every manner toward getting
set in the big leagues. But he
doesn't intend to make the young
ster the regular catcher Of the
Griffmen just yet, as Sewell is too
valuable a performer to keep on
the bench, and Bolton, because he
is a youngster, can wait in the
background, and grab the job for
all it is worth once it is open and
the opportunity is more advan-
tageouS later on.
"Cliff will get the nod when
those dOuble-headers pile up"
CrOnin allows. Luke will need
plenty of help then. Also Cliff
will come in mighty handy to us
as pinch hitter as he certainly
can deliver at the palte."
The Griffs finish up with the
Atlanta Crackers with games here
today and tomorrow. Bob Burke
and Earl Whitehill were due to
pitch this afternoon with Wally
Stewart and Monte Weaver to-
morrow.

SEVEN TEAMS
|NRUNN|NG
FORT|TLE
BY GINO SINH

The scramble for the Mems
Federal Duckpin League gonfalon
is so hot and fierce that partici-
pants haven't had time to worry
about the coming salary cut.
Only three games separate the
first seven teams. A situation
almost without parellel in duck
pin history.
With the season four weeks to
go, every one of them has a
genuine chance to put the bunt-
ing into their cedar chest.
Commerce and Veterans Ad-
ministration are perched, side by
side, on the topmost rung, with
Government Printing Office,
leader for the greater part of
the season, Internal Revenue,
which held the lead for a couple
weeks recently, and Patent Office
are deadlocked for third place one
game behind.
Postoffice, defending ch a m
pion, is in sixth place. two games
in arrears, and Public Buildings
and Parks, seventh, three jumps
away from the throne.
StarleSS Line-UpS
Strangely enough neither of
the two leaders, Commerce or
Veterans Administration, have
men listed among the first ten
high average shooters of the
league. Both boast well-balance
line-ups of fair to middlin' head
pin-maulers who flash their high
est effectiveness in the pinches.
Each of the four other first
division teams have couple of
their stars in the Big Ten" Sam
Simon, of GP.O., is the pace
setter with a 1881 average and
seems well on his way to a new
league high average record.
Dutch" Weidman established the
present mark of 118.1 three years
ago. Sans buddy, Chilly" Bar
nard, is the other Type-jumbler
in the first ten.
Internal Revenue has the vet
Grams, Jimmy Jolliffe and Oscar
Swain. Patent Offices big shots
are AL Woods, young sensation,
and pat" Patrick, while Dey
Boston and Art Kleisath keep
Postoffice in the fray with their
skillfull duckpin walloping.
Freddie Moore and Abe Beavers,
both with averages among the
first five, make the eighth place
Navy Yard a tough hurdle for
the leaders, but can't do much
for their own team, which is ap-
parently doomed to a second divi-
sion berth.
Two grim tussles are on the
card for Monday night when
G. P. o. grapples with Patent
Office and Veterans Administra-
ton risks it's skin against the
rough Navy Yard sailors.

Healy Likes Benning

AtteSting to this fact is Big
Jim Healy who is wintering at
Benning for the eighteenth con-
secutive year and declares he'll
be back again next winter. Big
Tim, known to every turfman
the country over, sits on a rail
every morning when lots Of
Washingtonians are not yet out
Of their downy blankets, stop
watch in hand, clocking his
charges, issuing orders to as
sistant trainers who in turn
order the exercise boys and
rubbers around like the head
stevedore of a Mississippi dock.
Healy is only one of the train
ers on hand, but since he is a
veteran, and logged out in his
natty top coat and ritzy
breeches and puttees, he is typi-
cal of the gentry Of horsemen
which frequent Benning and
other such thoroughbred cen
tiers. You can tell 'em a mile
away, this type of horseman.
They've got horse written all
ovef them. They live by the
thoroughbred, and don't care
who knows it.
Big Tim misses one of his old
cronies at Benning who is alb
sent for the first time in half
a dozen years. It is Freddy
Hopkins, the dapper and success
full former H. P. Whitney
trainer who lost out when re-
vision downward was made in

Hopkins Two Feats

Like Healy, Hopkins ever
liked Benning for keeping those
animals in his charge in condi-
ton through the winter. Many
off seasons Hopkins forewent
those pleasant trips to Florida
which so many of his fellows
enjoyed, just SO he could take
advantage of the mild winters
here to help along the horses
in his charge.
Developing Equipoise and
other great racers and develop
ing the likes Of Jockey Sonny
Workman are part of the
achievements of Hopkins, and
If he never lays another hand
on a horse the rest of his life,
he will at least have con-
tributed to the American turf
such notable characters as
Equipoise and Sonny Workman.
But, as we were saying, if
you want to get a thrill and
a breakfast appetite as well,
sneak out OF bed a bit early
one of these mornings and dash
out to Benning in your sport
roadster-you'll get an eyeful.
Besides, it's getting to be quite
the thing to do as you will
find any number of Washing
ton notables doing the same
thing. We spotted Johnny
Gheen out there one morning
this week with a Congressman
in tow.
The Grayson string is at Ben
ming, too, under the super
vision of the famous colored
trainer, Max Smart, and Tim
Donohue also has several head
in his charge.
