SPRING
GOLFERS TABOO
BIC CUP
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

With a stray exception or two,
the membership of the Indian
Spring Club was today ready to
tell all listeners that Gene Sara
zen had pipe dream when he
advocated the golf cup be en-
larged to eight inches.
The first local try-out of this
enlarged hole was given on the
putting green of the Indian
Spring course yesterday and
practically everyone vetoed Sara
zen's idea, which some of the
more exasperated called a brain
storm"
Compared to the four and a
quarter inch standard cup, the
eight,inch one appeared a giant
crater. 1t was such a big target
that one could have rolled a
watermelon in it's direction and
wouldn't have missed this big
cave in the green.
3-Putt Greens Unlikely
The members were sinking
puts of all lengths and chipping
in easily off the green. Three
putt green's? How could anyone
take three puts with that i'm
mense hole as the objective?
Following are the comments of
some of the members:
SAMMY RICE-It's the bunk.
ThereIl be too many gimme"
puts 10 to 20 feet from the cup.
GEORGE DIFFENBAUGH (In-
dian Spring pro) Why make
golf child's game? If anything,
let's make the cup smaller.
CALLS 1T BIG BOWL"
w. B. PUTMAN-Not that big
bowl for me.
w. r. WINSLOW-I say keep
the cup its present size after
seeing the 8-inch one.
w. r. STQNE-Putting is the
best part of my game, but don't
favor that 8-inch cup.
DOESN'T LIKE IDEA
w. ID. OSGOOD (member of
COMPASSIONATE don't like
Sarazen'S idea at all.
L. J. GOODE (member Of Con-
gresSiOnaD There's no fun hOl-
ing a long putt with that big hole
facing you.
FRANK OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
might be able to shoot 70 with
such a big cup.
DOESN'T SUIT HIM
DICK KRUEZBURG-That g.
inch cup doesn't suit me.
JIM SCHRIDER assistant pro
at Indian Spring Club That
size of a cup would ruin the
game.
DICK WATSON Indian Spring

to make the green level when

PESEk AMAZES
MAT FANS

Local wrestling fans today were
praising the all-around work dis
played by that crafty veteran,
John Pesek, who toyed with
George Vassell for 81 minutes at
the Washington Auditorium last
night as 1000 onlookers gaped.
After befuddling Vassell with a
myriad of holds, Pesek applied
back-drop to end the one-sided
match.
Despite a veteran of the
wrestling arena, Pesek showed
plenty speed afoot and proved
himself one of the smoothest
workers to make a call here. He
wriggled all-around Vassell, who
was like a whale trying to grab a
barracuda.
Gino Garibaldi, the black-haired
Italian, is fast losing favor with
the local gentry. He was sneered
upon excessively though holding
the classier and stronger Hans
Kampfer to a Commute draw.
The Italian was taunted by
four rasping gentlemen in the
front row orchestra as he hoped
into the ring. Garibaldi couldn't
stand the TRADE and invited his
tormentors to come up into the
arena.
Floyd Marshall ran his string
of defeats to 1,071 when sue
cumbing to Jacques Humberto,
the Mexican jumping bean, in %
minutes on the strength of a
body slam. Marshall needs one
more setback to draw up to
even terms with "Tigah" Nelson.
Frank JudSon Squelched the
bulkier Jim Clinstock in % min
utes, a healthy sock on the chin
doing the job. while Joe Savoldi
polished off John Maxos with a
flying tackle in II minutes.

1t was the making of a

The canal water on New

the boys came up they were

Boys Man Is Griff

Griff was the first American
League baron to send baseball
equipment to Europe to help
while away the tedious hours be-
hind the lines for the soldiers
of Uncle Sam. Some of this
equipment never reached it's
destination because one of the
ships bearing it was torpedoed.
But this misfortune did not
dismay Griff. He bundled up
some more equipment and
shipped it on the first transport
available.
Another gesture of the local
club to keep alive the interest
of the juveniles in the national
pastime has been the policy Of
admitting certain local groups
from time to time. Boy Scouts,
the boys clubs. groups of news
boys and Junior baseball
leagues here have more than
once been guests of the local
management and will continue
to be.
With such a background of
benefactions to the youth of the
National Capital, the Washing
ton team didn't have to be
asked but once for the use of
the domestic diamond, and if
there is anything that can be
done locally to assist any group
of boys in their baseball pur-
suits, the door is wide open at
Seventh and Florida Avenue.
The Washington times., 1933-01-27

For 18 seasons Judge performed
for the Washington Senators with
sufficient skill and accomplish
ment to be accounted one of the
outstanding first baSemen OF his
time.
This is his first excursion into
the National League. No terms
were announced, but it was de-
MED the former Senator had re-
ceived a bonus for attaching his
signature to the papers.
The signing Of Judge came as
no great surprise. Negotiations
for the player had been started
at the winter baseball meetings
but had Jagged during the past
six weeks because of a difference
in salary values.
Old Deal Is Off
His acceptance of terms pre-
cludes the possibility of a Brook
lyn-Giants trade which involved
Johnny Frederick and Sam Les
lie.
Manager Max carey Was eager
to land Judge, to be prepared in
the event Del BiSsonette was
physically unable to hold down
his job at first base.
Prexy Clark Griffith was tickled
to death over Joe Judges contract
with the Brooklyn Dodgers, an
nouncement of which was handed
to him this morning.

Looking Far Ahead

"GeOrge is sowing the seeds
which will blossom and ripen
into fruit for the majors about
q dozen years hence" says
Griff, referring to the Good
Samaritan work MOriarty has
been doing the pas two win
ters. Griff continued:
"Moriarty is a splendid talk
er. His versatility is such that
he is just as much at home
in a high school auditorium ad-
dressing a thousand young stu
dents as he is in the blue
serge habilimentS of a baseball
umpire.
"He is booked solid in Mas
SachuSetts until February 4,
when he will come to Wash
ington for a series of appear.
anceS here, both at high and
junior high auditOriums. / ex-
pect to appear with him and
introduce him and if he will
let me get q word in edgewiSe,
/ may have something to say
to the kids myself"
. This business of encouraging
baseball among young Amer
leans is by no means a new
issue with Griffith. He al
ways has been and always will
be for the boys, as he's still
half a boy at heart himself.
Griff ever has impressed those
around him as being a boys
man. He's adopted four boys
in his time and done a pretty
swell job of it, too.

Waivers Are Granted
In order to send him to the
Dodgers, Griff had to get waivers
from every club in the two
leagues. This has been done. and
Judge, having been duly released
from the Washington club, can
now go to the Dodgers with little
trouble.
Griff gave the veteran permis

REOPENED |

STAMFORD, Conn, June 13
G.N.SD.-Lillian Chelius Ceilings
conferred today with Assistant
District Attorney Munder to re-
hearse her role for the test by
which the murder of her husband,
Benjamin, will either be pinned
on an ex-convict or restored to the
list of unsolved mysteries.
Munder, after a talk with Mrs.
Collins counsel, went to her home
in Hillcrest Park to work out the
details of the test.
Sometime today Mrs. Ceilings
will be taken to a police station
and placed behind a thin parti-
ton. On the other side of that
partition, Frank Dreger, veteran
yeggman, will be engaged in con-
versation, so that Mrs. Ceilings
may listen to his voice. She said:
I'D know his voice anywhere
and anytime 1 heard it,"
She referred to the voice of the
elder of two pirates who climbed
aboard the Ceilings cruiser, the
Penguin, on that moonlit night in
September, 1881. She heard that
voice ordering her husband to lie
down and be tied up, heard it give
orders up to the time that her
husband, trussed and beaten un-
conscious. was dropped overheard.

CLARK JURY OUT
18 HOURS

The jury trying Berry E. Clark
in circuit court at Rockville on
a charge Of embezzlement is still
deadlocked after nearly 18 hours.
The case went to the jury at
5 40 p. m. yesterday.
This is Clark's third trial on
the same indictment alleging a
shortage of $426 as clerk to the
county commissioners. The first
case found the jurors voting
Ill for acquittal with the second
9-3 for conviction.
In his argument yesterday,
States Attorney Stedman Pres
colt showed the jury two large
charts describing in detail the
checks received and disburse-
ments made by Clark. He said
the defendant spent more than
$4,000 in 20 months and that
his salary was but $4,000 year
which was augmented by other
earnings which brought it slightly
over $4,000.

TY HEADS
STUDY BRIDGE
ROAD PLAN
Approaches to the Memorial
Bridge To Be Built Under
New Scheme

A construction plan which will
result in completion of one of the
three proposed approaches to the
Arlington Memorial Bridge, par
tial construction of another and
the laying of groundwork for the
third is being considered by Ar.
lington county engineers and
County Manager Roy S. Braden,
it was learned today.
Under the plan, which has
been laid before the county com.
misSionerS, the Wilson Boulevard
approach would be built. The
washington Street approach would
be made passable and the So
called Southern route approach
completely planned out.
28-Foot Road
The Wilson Boulevard approach
would be a 28-foot concrete high
way running over a 60-foot right
of way. It would start at the
present end of the Boulevard at
Military Road, Rosslyn, and inter
sect the Arlington Memorial drive
way from the bridge near the
railroad overpass.
The Washington Street ap-
proach would be completely
graded and surface treated. II
need then arose the approach
could be rebuilt of concrete at a
reasonable cost.
The Federal Government is
contemplating widening of the
highway running along the south
east wall of Arlington National
Cemetery in preparation for an
approach to the bridge that will
eventually have to be constructed
from that direction. Arlington
engineers have prepared surveys
to determine the feasibility OF
building an approach there and
this work will shortly be COM
pleted.
Cost Is $4,000
Braden estimated the cost Of
building the Wilson Boulevard
approach to the bridge at $780,
900, exclusive of right-of-way
costs. A condemnation jury Is
now studying the plot to deter
mine this cost.
The stretch of the bridge ap-
proach that will run across the
Federal reservation north of the
GeorgetoWn-Alexandria Road will
be built by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
which has already announced it
has funds on hand for the project.

JUNGLE PER|LS

The dangers of the Amazon
jungles are greatly exaggerated,
according to Earl Hanson, who
returned recently after travelling
more than 10000 miles through
Central and South America to
study the earth's magnetic be-
havior for the Carnegie Institutes S

netism. Hanson said:
"Most of the dangers we read
about are rare in the Amazon

"CrocodiIes, like New York
taxicabs, are bad for the health
only when a man is foolish
enough to get in their way.
Snakes were very scarce. Dur
ing almost a year 1 saw only
two. Much of my terrory was
the home of the famous South
American jaguar, but never
once did I meet one"
During his 18-month expedition
Hanson made studies of magnetic
declinations, inclinations and

bacco growers are beginning to
feel that the new deal" is going
to benefit them and that three
lean years are to be followed by
one which will enable them to
pull out of the rut of poverty.
Word comes from all of the
tobacco belts, Georgia, South
Carolina, the Border, the Middle
and the Old Belt, of favorable
growing weather and of the de-
velopment of a crop which holds
high promise.
It is also a large crop-some
of the dealers believe that it is
imprudently large, especially if
it fails to develop the quality de-
manded by the large cigarette
manufacturers.
Fitting in with the favorable
growing season is the report of
the United States Department
of Agriculture, just issued, which
shows a healthy decrease in the
stocks of leaf on hand, shrink
age of 165 1862, 900 pounds of flue-
cured tobacco, the type most used
by the cigarette-makers and the
manufacturers of smoking tobac-
cos.
This, the trade agrees, will
stimulate buying next fall and
raise the general price level
which for three years has been
below the cost OF production.
