The Brooklyn club certainly had all the encouragement needed to win the ball game, both from the organized cheering section under the sway of Solomon O'Rafferty Freidman. neatly attired in red. white, brown. tan and pink and from the Sucker shot" territory at hoopsides. But, as the man from India, says, Ut was not in the book"
 Let's hope the radical cle-
 mcnt in Brooklyn will put none
 of tho blame for the teams loss
 of title on Manager John Dum-
 schOtt. The players them
 selves will tell you they lost the
 game, and DunFschOtt certainly
 did everything he humanly could
 to help the boys come through.
 But he couldn't shoot the bas-
 kets for them, and what's more.
 some of the squad didn't give
 him any too much cooperation.
 No manager could do more for his players than George Casey of the Hills has done this year. He fought for them at every turn, predicted they would win when the season started and had the sntis- faction of seeing them come through.

RALEIGH. May 5.-Since the
passage of the Francis bill legal
ling the sale, of 30 per cent beer
in North Carolina. quite few To-
calities in the state have outlawed
the sale Of the beverage through
legislative act, d check-up here
revealed today. Thus far no town
or municipality has sought to
throw up a barrier around itself.
but several schools and country
communities are putting up a dry
fence around themselves.
First a bill was got through the
general assembly prohibiting the
sale of beer in and around David
son College. Then Duke Univers-
itv cot fixed up, and then Wake
Forest. Pineland Junior College
also gets protection from the sale
of beer, through a bill passed by
the general assembly, as does most
of the other colleges in the state,
with the exception of N. c. State
at Raleigh and the University at
Chapel Hill. Bills were put thru
the legislature this week, prevent
ing the sale Of beer at Mars Hill
and Ridgecrest.
The sale of beer is also prohIb-
tied on the religious assembly
grounds at Montreal, in Western
North Carolina, and a bill has also
been passed surrounding a school
and a church in Alamance county
with a dry area of one and one
half miles. All of these bills have
been put through the general as
sembly under suspension OF the
rules, and there has been no OPP
position.
Under the provisions of the
beer machinery act. the selling OF
beer within 800 feet of rural
schools and churches is prevent
ed, when they are located in un-
Incorporated communities where
there is no police protection, while
beer cannot be sold within fifty
feet of churches in Incorporated
towns during Sunday church
hours.

KIDNAPPING SEARCH IS STILL
ON: FRIEND OF M'MATH'S
OFFERS SELF AS A HOSTAGE
Many Clues Vainly Follow.
ed in Effort to Recover
10-Year-Old Girl
BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE
United Press Staff Correspondent


HARWICH, Mass, May s.
(UP) detectives feared early
today that little Peggy McMath
might be in the clutches of the
kidnapers of Baby Lindbergh,
whose mutilated body was found
on a Jersey hillside a year ago
next week.
Nearly three days after the
pretty lG-year-old heiress to De-
troit fortunes was lured from her
desk at the village school, heart
broken but still hopeful parents
remained without word as to
her fate.
Last night. William Lee, spokes-
man for the McMath family, vol
unteered to become a hostage IN
the hands of the kidnapers for "a
hours to give them time to COM
plete ransom negotiations and es-
cape.
AS clue upon clue fizzled dur,
ing a day crammed with furious
activity by forces of the law on
scattered fronts, federal, state,
county and local authorities seem,
ed tc nave reached dead end
And as key investigators prod
ded their minds for new leads,
they were impressed by circum-
stances which tended to link the
current case with the Lindbergh
abduction.
So forceful were these features
of the mystery that Brigadler-
General Daniel Needham, state
public safety commissioner and in
personal charge of the search, was
impelled to declare:
"There is nothing inconsistent
in this crime with the possibility
of its being done by very clever
professional crowd, and it may be
the same crowd that operated in
the Lindbergh case"
Bearing up bravely during the
dread interlude Of unbroken 81
lence between the kidnapping and
the anxiously-awaited first con-
tact, Peggy's mother broadcast
ner first open appeal to the abb
ductors. pencilled in her own
hand on scrap of brown paper
eff it is necessary to take Peg
gy in an automobile, please give
her some gum, because she is sub
iect to car sickness.
Regarding her food. she likes
all kinds of meat and is very
fond of milk. Don't give her any
turnips or spinach. She does not
like them and please do not force
them on her.
"Tell Peggy l wish her to be a
good girl and do just what she is
told. She loves nothing more than
a puppy or a kitten to play with.
Please try to put her to bed at 8
o'clock"
Previously Neil Cook McMath,
well-to-do Harwich- boat builder
with Detroit social connections.
Rad reiterated his pledge to deal
honestly with the kidnapers with
out thoughts of prosecution or
punishment" and to give his all,
if necessary, as ransom for his
daughters safe return.
Activities of Detroit's "Purple
Gang" mentioned in connection
with the Lindbergh kidnapping,
came under closer scrutiny today
as local leads, one by one, failed
to materialize. Peggy's two rich
grandfathers. Francis Cook Me-
Math and William Robert Kales,
live in Detroit.
William Lee, spokesman for the
McMath family who yesterday at
noon had predicted a very i'm
portant" development which might
be anticipated momentarily, said
