CRAWFORD NEW
NET CHAMP

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan.
3O.-Jack Crawford, Australia'S
No. l player, captured the Aus
tralian lawn tennis singles cham.
pionship today by scoring an i'm
pressive victory over Keith Gled-
hill, California star. The score
was 2-6, rs, 6-3, 60.
Gledhill started off like a Whirl-
wind, displaying the same form
he had shown Saturday, when he
conquered Vivian McGrath, 16-
year-old Australian, in straight
sets in their semi,final match.
Crawford obtained the upper
hand in the second set and drew
up on even terms after a hard
battle. From then on the Aus
tralian veteran completely out
played the young Californian,
Gledhill capturing only five games
in the last two sets.
Crawford's victory, avenging the
defeat of McGrath on Saturday,
climaxed an unusual duel between
the Californians and the home
talent. The youthful McGrath
turned in an amazing upset Fri
day when he eliminated Ellsworth
Vines, jr.. American and Wimble-
don champion. This feat made
McGrath the favorite to beat Gled-
hill, but the latter scored crush
ing victory over the baby" of
the Australian team on Saturday.
Today Crawford put the home
forces one up on the invaders by
easily disposing of Gledhill.

She s a New Mare

Speaking of Top Flight. word
comes from Brookdale Farm
that she has developed consid-
erably during the enforced lay
off following her injury at
Havre de Grace in the Potomac
Handicap. While her leg has
healing, Top Flight has grown
up and spread out to the entire
satisfaction of the Whitney
handlers. who declare she has
added more than a hundred
pounds in weight and has the
appearances today of a real
rugged race mare.
For nearly four months now,
Top Flight has been romping
around in her paddock and
shortly she will be put under
saddle mad bride for training
as against an active Northern
racing campaign. Indeed. those
who have seen her, expressed
surprise that Top Flight has
come around so nicely. consid-
ering her Indifferent 3-year-old
showing.
They confidently expect her
to take her place among the
true greats and earn a niche be-
side Miss Woodward. Beldame.
Artful and Regret. 1t will be
recalled that Top Flight got
away to a splendid start in her
first year out. beating all the
colts as we'll as the best fillies
and earned $4,000. a sum
never before credited to a 2
year.old of either persuasion.

Notre Dame lost couple
football games last fall and
there was naturally to be some
lifting of eyebrows among the
sporting fraternity.
For a time it Swas being whis-
pered about on good authority
that Hunk Anderson, the man
who was unfortunate enough to
succeed Knute Rockne and who
has been doing as well as pos
sible with a task that needed an
uncanny genius, was to be
shelved in favor of any one of
40 or SO coaches.
1t was also breathed about that
discord existed somewhere in the
ranks of the Irish. To be sure they
even went so far as to say that
Anderson and Harper we're not
as chummy as they could be,
but Jesse quieted these rumors
with statements. that Hunk
would be hired again and he
was hired again.
Contract Expires in June
But there remains the matter
of what is to be done in June
when Director of Athletics Har-
per's contract expires, as con-
tracts do.
The report persists that he
will not be caught rushing into
the office of the president with
a signed document under his
arm at the stroke of midnight.
The unfortunate passing of
Rockne was indeed a dangerous
blow to the athletic department
at Notre Dame and such a man
aS Harper was needed to avert
any tendencies of dependency
with his wisdom and steadying
Influences.
Left Ranch Reluctantly
1t is recalled that Harper was
a little reluctant to leave his
comfortable ranch in the West
FOR the more exacting require
ments of collegiate athletics, but
there was a sense of duty in the
man and so he returned to do
his bit. 1t is done.
Ordinarily the scoring of a
touchdown against the Irish was
a signal for everybody to fire
everybody else, but times have
changed and it takes more than
touchdown or two to set the
rumors in motion. But make a
note of it and see if Harper Is
not back on his ranch by next
fall. We think he will be.

shOrtstOp and two good south
paw pitchers?"
This plea will be fired at seven
other National League clubs this
week when Dave Driscoll, secre-
tary of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
goes shopping.
Driscoll won't be looking for
charity. however. He will be
equipped with plenty of ammuni-
ton in the form of $4,000, a
calling card that will be honored
in every city in the circuit.
The Brooklyn club looks like it
could go places this year with a
few endorsements. One hole
was plugged up last week with
the signing of that grand old
first sacker. Joe Judge, to sub
for Del Bissonette if the regular,
Dodger first baseman fails to re-
gain his old-time form.
Glenn Wright, the regular
shortstop, has written the club
that he will be in shape but the
bosses are afraid Of his throwing
arm. His understudy, Gordon
Slade, hit only .240 last year and
was no Wagner afield. which is
why the club is looking for a
capable short fielder.
The remainder of the $50,00O
will be expended for pitchers.

b. the Associated Press.

Acting Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau yesterday issued detailed
regulations to govern the coinage of

delivering the metal to Federal mints
to make monthly reports on production.
The regulations prescribe forms of
afhdavits to be made by the person de-
livering the silver with supporting af-
fdavits by the miner" the Treasury
said.
In the case of silver of wholly do
mestic origin, the afhdavits will set forth
that the silver to be received has &C
tually been mined from natural de-
subject to its jurisdiction subsequent
to the date Of the proclamation CDe-
cember 2D.
Where domestic silver is mixed with
secondary or foreign silver, the coinage
mints will receive that part of such
mixture which the mints are satisfied

which has been mined subsequent to
December 81, 1893, from natural de-
posits in the United States or any place
subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

600 Will GET Jobs
IN CENSUS BUREAU
Surveys by Federal Agencies
to Provide Brief Periods
of Employment.

The American business census and
several smaller census jobs to be un-
dertaken for various of the newer Ma
tional Government agencies will mean
the employment Of about 600 unem-
ployed residents of Washington by the
Census Bureau, according to DR.. w. L.
Austin, director of the census.
DR.. Austin said that at present there
are about l40 Of these workers en-
ployed from the District employment
rolls maintained by David Ruml. These
are principally craftsmen. clerks, ste
nographers and punching machine
operators.
All persons conducting the Nation
wide business census, except experts,
must be employed from rolls Of the
unemployed throughout the land. There
are only about II experts in the list,
DR.. Austin said, and these will be taken
from his own office. 1t will be about
February rs or March ! before any
further employees are taken on at the
Census Bureau here from c. W. A. rolls
Then the bureau will need clerks, ste
nographers. card punchers and tabu-
lating machine operators to go to work
on the statistics collected by the emu
merators in the field throughout the
country.
Dr.. Austin said the periods Of en-
ployment for the various classes would
be very short. some as little as 10 or
IS days and some for a month or six
weeks. Only a handful will be re-
quired for as much as two months, he
said.
Pay will range from 40 cents an
hour for laborers up to $l10 an hour
for a few very skilled employees The
bulk Of the workers will receive so or
10 cents an hour. Clerical employees
will all be on a 39-hour week.
The employees spoken Of by DR.. Austin
do not include any OF those now under
engagement by James Ring making a
real estate census of the District The
latter group numbers approximately
500.

BRANCH LIBRARIES
HELD NEED IN D. c.
Dr.. BoWerman Makes Plea
for More Facilities in
Radio Talk.

In a plea for more branch libraries
and additional facilities in the present
branches, Librarian George F. Bower
man last night told radio audience the
number of regular users Of the Public
Library system in the District has more
stock, readers last year borrowed books
Speaking on the weekly Washington
Community Forum program, sponsored
by the Community Chest and the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., Dr. Bowerman
outlined the educational facilities
afforded Washingtonians by the Public
Library.
Registered Users Increase.
The registered users of Libraries, he
said. have increased from $4,000 in 1929
to 10000 in 1888. A large part Of the
increase has represented serious reading,
he declared, much of it having TO do
with getting or holding jobs.
The only education that is at all
worthwhile is the education we get for
ourselves" the speaker said in pointing
out that the educational service made
available by the libraries supplements
the instructional educational work after
school days are ended.
If our education stops with school
days, then we go backward. Recent in
vestigations have shown that the adult
has the ability to go on learning even
to old age. Only if he does go on can
he keep educated" he said.
Cites Overcrowded Conditions.
DR.. Bowerman told of the over
crowded condition of the central IL
brary at Eighth and K streets, supple
mented by an entire floor of the Ford
Building on Pennsylvania avenue, and
explained that there are four major
branch Libraries and five minor branches
in the city.
The library system, he said. has
nearly 100000 books, and from this
stock, readers last year borrowed books
more than 2,500,000 times. In addition,
the library served very large number
of readers who came to all library
branches seeking Information on varied
subjects
The library has about $4,000 books in
a collection for school children. he said
and baskets Of these books are sent to
each school for tyo-month period and
are lent to the children by teachers.

All these documents were in dis
order after years of storage in the Rus
sian embassy and must be indexed, and
in some instances translated, before
financial briefs being drawn up by both
nations. Mass and detail of the work is
doing more than anything else to
hamper speedy negotiations
