2DR|LLSADAY

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 26.
Stanford was on a "two-a-day"
schedule today.
Adding the finishing touches
for the annual Rose Bowls New
Year Day game with Columbia,
Coach "Tiny" Thornhill ordered
morning and afternoon practices
today and tomorrow.
The gridmen will taper off with
signal practices Thursday and
Friday and go into seclusion Sat-
urday.
Thornhill was worried over
Yves Muller, giant center, who
became ill with influenza and
was taken to a hospital here fol-
lowing the teams arrival Sunday
from Palo Alto. Muller's condi-
tion was not serious and he ex-
pected to be in the lineup against
Columbia, but Thornhill feared
the illness might weaken the
center.

GIRL SAYS mo-
To MAX BAER

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-As the
great fighter he's quite a pug. but
as the heavy lover he's just mug.
That was Broadway's official
verdict on Max Baer today after
the boastful Californian had been
kayoed by the blonde, petite and
pretty divorcee, Edna Dunham,
whom Baer had vowed he'd wed.
His "divine dream girl" had a
neat little Christmas present all
wrapped up for him yesterday.
Here it is:
marry Make? Don't be silly.
He's a nice boy, but"
A lifted eyebrow, a curled lip
and a shrugged shoulder told just
where the Lothario of the ring
stands in her estimation-some-
where behind the eight ball.
When he got the bad news,
Make almost Wept.

BASEBALL ACES
IN CAGE CAME

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 26.
Henry "Zeke" Bonura, one time
first base star of the Dallas
Steers, who now is owned by the
Chicago White Sox. is trying to
schedule games for a professional
basketball team he has organized
here.
Bonura has hit upon the idea
of five made up entirely of big
and minor league baseball stars.
In addition to Bonura, the team
includes Johnny Culliber, of the
Cleveland Indians; Eddie Morgan,
of the Boston Red Sox; Carl Lind,
of New Orleans; Dutch Legett, of
the Boston Red Sox; Mel OFT, Of
the New York Giants, and Jimmy
Vorhoff, a New York-Pa. League
star.
Bonura and Culliber are for
wards, with Vorhoff a reserve.
Morgan holds down the pivot
post, and Lind, Legett and OFT
are guards.

Not Impossible

Southern California, which lost
to Stanford, is, on my belief a
better team, but wasn't on the
Saturday it lost to Stanford.
Oregon is as good if not better
than Stanford.
So Little isn't facing an i'm
possible task in the Rose Bowl
next Monday. Some New Yorkers
told me in 1880 that nobody
could give Columbia a winning
team, and my reply was that if
anybody could, Lou Little was
the man.
Reasoning along the same line
I believe if Stanford can be
beaten, Little's Lions can do it
and if I'm wrong I'll be so
far away from Washington New
Year Day 1 won't be able to
hear your razzberries.
Well, there you are. I've
taken in a lot of territory in
this yarn; Miami to Pasadena
to Michigan to Washington to
Baltimore to New York. Too,
I've taken in a lot of territory
when I say Columbia has a
splendid chance to win and I
wouldn't say it if I didn't be-
lieve it. I'm not that fond Of
being a prophet.

DUNLAP RISKS
GOLF PRESTIGE

PINEHURsT, N. c., Dec. 20.
Forty-four golfers tee off here
today in the thirty-first midwin-
ter golf championship in an at
tempt to halt the spectacular
record of George T. Dunlap, jr.,
the national amateur champion,
who has won the event seven
out of the last eight years.
His leading opponents praised
Dunlap highly this morning for
his sportsmanship in competing
in the midwinter tourney as ma
tional champion. They feel he has
nothing to gain by winning this
tourney but an extension of his
winning string, while he will lose
considerable prestige in case Of
defeat.

bevy of the prettiest and most expert
girl swimmers and divers will hold a
three-day meet Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, I read in the papers that
Lou Little turned a deaf ear to the
urgent invitation from the good people
of Pasadena to take his Columbia
Lions right on to California for a
weeks practice in the Rose Bowl,
rather than tarry at Tucson, Arizona.
Now I do not mean to offend the
fair reputation of Southern Florida
by coming down here to make COM
ments about either Southern Arizona
or Southern California, but I was i'm
pressed by the action of the canny Mr..

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The
national indoor junior tennis
championship tournament starts
today and frankie Parker, for
mer Milwaukee youth, now a
resident of Lawrenceville, N. j.,

Parker is No. 8 in the national

President Gerald P. Nugent, Of
the Phillies, said Shotton was still
manager, but wouldn't say posi-
lively that he will be manager

The 1926 Faux Pas

Afterwards, California may do
jhatever it wishes with the
Columbians, within reason, Of
-1rSe. am sure such is Lou
Ii. les line of reasoning. I
watched him operate five years
around Washington and believe
] know some of his logic about
such matters.
Mr.. Little no doubt recalls
the faux pas committed by
Michigan back in 1926. when it
went from Ann Arbor to Balti-
more via Washington, where it
was heavily entertained by
Navy for 48 hours before the
game, which Navy won, 10 to 0.
In the year previous at Ann
Arbor, Michigan beat Navy, 81
to 0, and the year later, also at
Ann Arhor, Navy lost by 27 to
-. think those scores are ac-
curate, but if not they serve the
purpose of this dissertation.
Yea, Navy's welcoming com.
mittee took charge of Michigan
in Washington and showed them
all the sights. The Michigan
alumni chapter in Washington
also was host. A trip to the
Capitol and Library and Smith
Son4an Institution and the
White House had been planned,
and in between every Michi-
gander within 100 miles Of
Washington blew in to shake
hands with the two Bennies,
Oosterbaan and Friedman, that
great passing combination.
Best Before Game
Well. the result was that the
Michigan players were run
ragged before they hied over to
Gibson Island, Md, the day be-
fore the game for a quick dash
to the Baltimore Stadium
around noon Saturday.
Michigan, which had piled up
such an overwhelming score the
year before and which lived to
do almost as we'll the year
after, was helpless before the
Ingram-coached Navy team,
which Bill had kept safely en-
sconced in Annapolis while
Michigan was being feted in
Washington.

The Washington times., 1933-12-26

I suspect that Mr.. Little, and
I know many Washingtonians
who know him have probably
suspected the same thing, is
more interested in the winning
Of that game than in the size Of
the attendance, the gate receipts
or the ballyhoo that ever and
anon attends such a spectacle.
He Should Worry
In the first place Mr.. Little,
among the things he has now
on his mind, isn't worrying over
the net receipts. The expenses
of the Columbians and what
ever other erooluments the game
carries are guaranteed, win, lose,
or draw; rain or shine, and
understand the sun is always
shining in California.
In the second place Mr.. Little
doesn't want any ballyhoo until
after the game is disposed of,
and not very much then unless
his Lions win. In such an in
stance he will permit his Lions
t. sit down with Stanford'S
Lambs, or even stand up with
them and celebrate until all
hands fall down.
And in the third place Mr..
Little probably figures that the
one thing which would augur
against Columbia winning would
be a round of entertainment
and civic adulation with prob
ably a visit tossed in to Holly
wood, not so fa1 away. The
~olu1nbianS will have all the
time they desire for such sight
seeing enterprises when the
game Is over. Mr.. Little. in all
likelihood, doesn't see how even
Celifornia's famed hospitality
can possibly do his boys any
good so long as the game is still
in the offing.

at Georgetown at the time.
knows that incident we'll and he
probably had it in mind when
he planned to keep Columbia
out of Pasadena until a re-
sponSible time before the Stan
ford-Columbia game New Year
Day.
Columbia wants badly to win
that Stanford game and do not
be surprised to see a close score.
I would not be knocked out of
my chair if Columbia wins, be-
cause I believe that if Columbia
had to play any of the other
outstanding teams on the coast,
say Oregon or Southern Cali
fornia, their chances would not
be so good as against Stanford,
and that is said with all due
respect to former President
Hoover who is an alumnus of
Stanford,

SCHOOL HOLDS
CELEBRATION
ON navy DAY
REV. sDoUGHERTY HEARD IN
ADDRESS AT ST. JosEPHs
COLLEGE ON FATHER OF
AMERICAN NAVY"
(Communicated)

| In compliance with the mind of
the government and the proclama-
tion of Mayor William HI. Malone,
sSt. Joseph's Boys School appro-
kpriately celebrated Navy Day.
At 1880 the patriotic exercise
Iiopened with the salute to the
icolors, followed by the pledge to
THE flag. Then Father Dougherty
l.gave an instructive and interest
ling talk on Captain Jack Barry,
1.-THE Father of the American Navy.
At an early age, around Is
years old, he left st. Mary's
lsSchool in Philadelphia and went TO
lsea. He was engaged in the West
Indian trade and worked himself
Iup to command of several vessels.
IlIn Dec, 1774, he sailed as cap
stain of fine large ship, the Black
lPrince, bound for Bristol, Eng. He
lreturned on Oct. Is, ITS, the day
when the Continental Congress,
then in session in Philadelphia,
Eauthorized the purchase of two
sarmed vessels, first warships of the
Monumental navy. Barry immedi-
lately offered his services and he
twas gladly received and assigned
Ito the command of the first yes
Esel, the U. S. S. Lexington.
The first commissioned Off
Ecer of the navy was the first APP
Ipointment issued by the marine
committee of the Continental Con-
igress, and was dated Dec. Z, 1775.
when the Effingham, % guns, was
finally constructed, he was assign
ed its commanding officer and
performed efficient service, cap
tured the first war vessel of the
enemy on April z, 1776. He can
ffittingly be called the Father of
four Marines. In Dec, 1776, Bar
Try. owing to the blockade of his
ship in the Delaware, landed his
linen and marched them to Tren-
ton and Princeton for land duty
under Washington, where he act
led as special aid to Washington,
who valued him very highly.
In 1778 he commanded the
Raleigh and captured supply ships.
He was sent on important missions
ito France on Feb, 1881, and
lagain in May and encountered the
British warships, the Mars, Allan
ia, Trespassey, Harlem, Minerva
and after sharp fight, they struck
their colors. In the fight with the
Trespassey, Barry was severely
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1933-10-27

wounded. Returning from France
I by the way of Havana on March
|18, 1888, he fell in with the British
warship "Sybille", SO guns, and
latter sharp, shrewd battle, the
I"Sybille" hauled off, injured, and
joined the company of two other
vessels. This was the last encoun-
ter of the Revolutionary War at
sea.
The U. S. Navy was permanent
/ ly organized and established by an
Act of Congress, March 81, 1874.
Six captains were appointed by
President Washington, by and with
the approval Of the senate, Barry
headed the Iist-the first commits
stoned officer, and signed by
George Washington, president of
the United States, dated 22nd
of Feb, 1877. Registered No. l.,
he was officially the head ranking
officer of the U. S. Navy. He SUI
perintended the construction of
1.-THE best warship, 1.-THE United
States "A guns, and commanded
her when finished, touring many
countries and doing wonderful
service in defence.
Barry has often been referred
to as commodore. There was no
such grade in the U. S. Navy until
July II, 1862. Captain was the
highest grade before that date. In
1901 the U. S. Navy was reduced
to peace basis; nine captains
were retained and Barry ranked
at the head of the list.
His body is inferred in st. Mary's
Cemetery in Philadelphia, where
the writer often played among
the monuments of the heroes of
our country.
The speaker also spoke glow
ingly of that other co-patriot of
the navy, John Paul Jones, who
fought so valiantly on the high
seas for his adopted country.
When the U. S. gunboat brought
the body of John Paul Jones back
from France to be inferred with
military honors at Philadelphia,
the speaker was in the military
parade, paying his humble praise
and respect to another patriot,
who, too, figured largely in estab-
fishing the u. S. Navy.
The exercises were closed with
the singing of the national anthem,
The Star Spangled Banner, follow
ed by a half holiday.

Boiler EXPLODES
IN ROOM|NG HOUSE
Nine Occupants Escape In
jury as Building Is Badly
Damaged.

Nine persons escaped injury last
night when boiler in the basement of
a rooming house at 910 Massachusetts,
avenue exploded, damaging the base
ment and first floor and filling the en-
tire building with sUeam.
Those in the house at the time were
Frank Pfeifer, 38, unable to walk be-
cause of broken ankle: his wife, Mrs.
Frances Pfeifer; their two children,
Frank, jr., 6, and Dona, A. E. c. Pick
ford, j. T. Donohough, Roy Frederick,
M. z. Fowler and Miss Jean Simpson
They had just moved into the building
from another lodging house in the 700
block of Mount Vernon place.
The landlady, Mrs. Grace Merry, 100
block of Massachusetts, avenue, had told
them, they said, that fire would be
started before they moved in. The
gauge on the furnace was covered with
dust, however, and, in the opinion Of
firemen, the required amount of water
was not let into the boiler before the
fire was started.
Walls of rooms in the basement were
wrecked and windows of some of the
rooms above were blown out. The
Pfeifers, hurled t0 the floor by the con-
cusSion, were assisted from the building
by passersby. Other occupants of the
house also were thrown down by the
blast, but were able to make their way
TO safety.
A small blaze that followed the ex-
plosion was quickly extinguished by
flremen.

HURLEY TO REJECT
PHILIPPINES BILL
War Secretary Given Meas
ure by President for Ad-
visory Report.

Secretary of War Hurley today made
It evident that he will report adversely
upon the Philippine independence bill
which President Hoover has referred tc
him for study. Hurley will report upon
the bill before the time arrives for the
President himself either to sign or dis
approve the bill.
the War Department head was in
conference with the President today
As he was leaving the White House
he told newspaper men who asked him
his opinion regarding this legislation
my views are well known and am
still opposed to the bill"
Secretary Hurley said, however, he
considers the bill, as 1t finally passed,
considerably improved over the orig
tnaI Philippine independence bill, and
said that it contains some good points
but that it failed to solve the question
involved in independence Tor the
islands.
II do not want to say there are no
good features in the BILL" Secretary
Hurley added. "As matter Of fact, the
bill contains some exceptionally good
points But this legislation does not
provide a solution. 1t fails to solve the
inherent difficulties. 1t merely ac-
centuates them"
Secretary Hurley said he expected to
make his report to the President very
shortly.
