BRING ON THOSE
MUSHBALLERS!

The Sports Club, a mushball
team from Pittsburgh, will play a
game against a Boys Club team
at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The local boys do not seem to
know just what mushball is but
as soon as they learn from their
opponents just what the game is
and how it should be played they
will take on the visiting Pitts
burghers.
Whatever mushball is, it sounds
muShy, and anyway the game is
going to be played and that's that.
Having no specific knowledge
Of the game, officials of the local
Fairgrounds have designated a
baseball diamond as the locale for
the mushball game.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. BE.
fore leading his scrappy Pirates
into the fourth conflict with the
New York Giants today, Manager
George Gibson took occasion to
state he certainly believes his
team still has a chance to win the
National League pennant race.
eve are still six and One-hah
games behind the leaders," said
Gibson. 81 realize the Giants
are in a dandy spot, but they
are on a perilOus journey at the
present time. A few breaks and
we might have cOpped all three
games played so far in the
series. If we can win the next
two games, the Giants will do .
lot of worrying on the re-
mainder of the trip. However,
we will play out our string with
them and will continue to fight
all the other clubs right down
to the finishing line. There IL
SO much uncertainty, in base
ball, it pays to play out all
strings"
Gibson did not care to discuss
his plans for next year. 1t has
been limited in Pittsburgh he Will
not be at the head of the club

leave this matter between the
Pirate owners and himself. :

SENDS TEAM
IN VERSE

When the clock hits midnight
tomorrow The Washington Times
Babe Ruth au-Star baseball con-
test will be over for everyone
but the Babe Ruth editor.
For him the real work will
Just begin. Although he has
been opening and closing letters
for the past week and reading
the contents, he has done so
only with the hope of finding
something which might prove
helpful to the many fans who
mailed in their selections, some
OF whom failed to scan the rules.
But while the rest of the city
sleeps, he will be tearing his
hair as he opens letters again,
only this time he will have Babe
Ruth'S team in front of him so
that he can see which letters
demand consideration and which
are so far off as tc make their
value negligible. There is still
time, however, to send in addi-
tlonal teams with the deadline
not until midnight tomorrow.
Team in Verse
Several selections were re-
ceived from Joe Dinkin, 5123
Illinois Ave. N. W., one of which
has his idea for a real team set
into verse which helps to relieve
the monotony. While verse is
not necessary, We'll let you
sample Mr.. Dinkins bid for i'm
mortality:
'FOr second, I've picked Hughie
CritZ;
Manush in left for his hits;
Berger in center, will give 'em
fits;
And Gehrig at first to smash
'em to bits.
Cuyler, the deer will be out in
right,
And Cr0nin at short will supply
the fight.
At third is TraynOr, the best Of
the batch,
And 1SOcker' Dickey, we'll ask to
catch.
Hubbell the southpaw, of the
pitchers is king,
And CrOwder. the Nat has a
powerful wing,
IT'S team of power and bal
ance, you see
It might bring a series ticket to
mel"
It might at that, Mr.. Dinkin!
Remember, folks, you too can
send in as many teams as you
wish but you must accompany
each with an explanatory letter
of $50 words or less telling the
best qualities of the 10 men Gin
Guiding two pitchers) whom you
select.
10 Tickets Free
The Washington Times is CIV
ing away 10 tickets to the 10
persons most nearly approximate
ing the players selected by Babe

contest. It is test of baseball
knowledge, skill and judgment.
Jimmy Atkinson, of 200 Nine

but whether he and the Bambino
disagree is another question.
Jimmy selects Swanson, Bluege,

Members Of the league sounded
out Hugh Wilson, American min

The Leagues Sino-Japanese

the American attitude, based upon

tary Of State Stimson and the
arms embargo proposed by PreSi-
dent Hoover.
International News Service e
learned that Japan would base her
refusal to accept the report on the
following points:
/. The Leagues nonrecOgni-
tion of Manchukuo is unaccept-
able to Japan.
2. Presence of American and

proposed committee Of negotia-
tions cannot be tolerated.
3. Japanese troops cannot be

WATCHMAN DIES
IN FIRE AFTER
WILD PARTY
Man Believed H. F. Stonesifer
Found Charred in Ruins
Of Annapolis Home

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 15.-A man
believed to be Howard F.. Stone
sifer, %. former watchman at
the Naval Academy. was burned
to death in a fire that destroyed
his home early today after a
party at which there was con-
siderable drinking, police said.
Further investigation into the
case was ordered by authorities
when neighbors reported that
they heard three shots fired dur
ing the party.
Buckle and Keys
Doctors were ordered to
examine the charred body to de-
termine if the man had been
shot.
Identification of the body was
based on the fact that a oelt
buckle with the initial IS" and
the key to StoneSifer's automobile
were found beside the body,
which was burned beyond recogni-
ton, and the fact that the man
has not been seen since the fire
started.
According to Acting Coroner
Thomas G. Basil, the six persons
attending the party were Stone
Sifer, who was reported as Sepa-
rated from his wife; Howard
Civens and Irving Ford. taxicab
drivers; and three girls, Rose
WEIGH, Leona Swink. and Edith
Brandenburg.
All Were Drinking
According to their story, Basil
said, there was considerable
drinking during the party, and
the five left about 2 o'clock in
the morning.
They denied that there was any
trouble or that any shots were
fired while they were in the
house, Basil said.
Neighbors gave different story
to police, however, saying that
there was considerable noise in
the house until about 4 o'clock in
the morning.
MIS-. bland spencer, a nelgnDOT,
reported that she heard the three
shots efired at about that time,
and shortly afterward she smelled
smoke, got up to investigate, and
found the house in flames.
Worked at Academy
The fire department was called.
but arrived too late to save the
six-room frame structure, which
was located at Lucas Avenue in
West Annapolis. The house had
been rented by Stonesifer from
DR.. Charles N. Taylor, of An
napolis.
Police said they would again
question those attending the party
today, and if it should be proved
that Stonesifer was shot, would
place the matter in the hands of
the grand jury.
The dead man was discharged
from the Naval Academy about
two weeks ago, it was said.
