Ethiopian Fast Day Alters
White House Schedule

Forbidden by his religion to eat
on Wednesdays, the Ethiopian
prince, Ras Desta Demtu, here to
bring the greetings of his emperor
and father.in-law, Halle Sellassie
I, to the President, will not lunch
at the White House today.
The illness of the President
made it possible to call off the
scheduled luncheon, but had Ras
Desta Demtu been able to feast,
President Roosevelt would have
found it possible to follow the
program.
It seems the State Department,
where royal visits are arranged,
hadn't been informed of the
Ethiopian custom.
This morning the prince break
tasted on coffee. Huge baskets Of
luscious fruits, sent to his apart
ment, were returned untasted.
The White House luncheon will
be given Friday.
In the meantime his royal high
ness is seeing the sights of Wash
ington. Last night at about 1O:3O
he summoned his escort and went
for a ride along Sixteenth Street
and in Rock Crack Park.
Today the prince will visit the

Canon Chase offered the third

What q ball Seeds swung at for his
third strike in the second inning! It
was at least three feet wide Of the plate.
Weiland had a real wild streak in
the fifth when he walked Schultz with
four pitches, then did the same with
we're out, and Kuhel's best was q pop
to the first baseman.
Hodapp was charged with an error in
the sixth inning when he failed to
cover second as Ferrell heaved to head
of the stealing Sewell. The perfect
peg sailed on to center to let the pilferer
get an extra base.
Johnson Was Lucky.
ITAD Sewell's arms been an inch or
n two longer, that Red Sox run
might not have crossed in the
seventh. Roy johnson, first up. put
up foul that Sewell chased and barely
missed, the ball tipping his glove as he
leaned over q field box. Then johnson
singled to start the scoring rally.
When Cronip went up to bat with
two on and one out in the ninth, Man
aser McManus decided to tighten the
Boston outer defense He withdrew the
slow Jolley from right field, shifted
Cooke to that garden and sent Oliver
to center. And Cronin smacked an
infield single.
There was no reason for Kuhel to
attempt an extra base on his hit in the
eighth Jolley had the ball as Joe
reached second base. and the right
felder's throw to the third baseman got
the runner yards of the far corner.
