After the body

had been removed
to the morgue and Fordney had investi-
gated many clues that proved worth
less, he learned, however, that the
farm on which they had found the
girl was the place Of her birth: that
she had been working in the city as
a waitress, but that she had been un-
employed for the last six months.
Undoubtedly she was respondent
over something. From what we have
learned she was an exhibitionist; there
fore she decided to end her days where
she began them" remarked Charon
after Fordney told him what he had
learned. "Suicide-'the grand gesture
-voila!"
In spite Of being unemployed for
six months the girl was very well
dressed the professor commented.
You, my friend, didn't examine those
fiat rocks around the well as did.
She was murdered"
WHY DID HE BELIEVE SO?

SESSION AWAITED
BY congressman
Few Have Returned to Of
fices, However, Due to
Lame Duck Law.

BY the Associated Press.
Any one wishing to ascertain why
SO few Senators and Representatives
are settled in their Capitol Hill Offices
these days will find one answer In the
, twentieth amendment to the Consti-
tuition.
Usually, about this time, members of
Congress begin to converge on Wash
ington to prepare for the lame-duck
scattered throughout the massive wings
Of the Senate and House once Build
ings.
Opening Date Advanced.
The reason Is that the opening date
Of Congress was advanced from early
December until January by the twen-
tieth constitutional amendment. It was
submitted by Congress to the States
on March 3, 1882, and was ratified by
the necessary SO last January %.
Under its provisions, Congress will
meet each year on January 3 and re-
main In session until it decides it is
time to quit, also, future Presidents
instead of March f.
This action was taken primarily so
lame ducks"-Congressmen defeated
at the November elections every two
years-would not continue to legislate
in the session running from December
to March 4.
1t will not be long, however, before
the lawmakers begin to concentrate
here, for all indications point to busy
time. They like to have their bills
drawn up If possible before the session
actually opens. Some must come for
committee meetings The important
House Appropriations Committee always
starts work on supply bills before a
session convenes.
RevizionS In Laws Seen.
Undoubtedly. there will be some re-
visions in or additions to the emergency
legislation passed during the crowded
days Of the special session from March
until the early hours Of June 16.
If the eighteenth amendment is re-
pealed before January bills will be
pressed to raise the import duty on
! liquors and to increase the domestic tax
Other proposals almost certain to be
pushed would empower the President to
negotiate reciprocal tariff agreements

Army and Navy will resume

floor game Of the season for both
teams.
It is the first time in five years

period having been played away
from Annapolis.

A crowd of some 5000 is ex-

and a duplicate crowd is ex-
pected to be on hand tonight for
the boxing event.
About 900 Army supporters
will watch this afternoons baS-
ketball game. which will be the
big and important contest Of the
current season for both fives.
Navy enters today's floor game
slight favorite, probably due to
her excellent record Of 13 wins IN

sylvaniar won games this season
over the Middies.
Ar1ny's record is not quite so
impressive as Navy's. The Cadets
were handicapped earlier in the
season, through sickness and other
causes, but the kick of the mule is
still there as evidenced by the
recent topheavy win of Army over
the strong Bucknell five.

players, Loughlin and Berries to

L|NKE PEPPERY
IN WORKOUTS.
BY GARRETT WATERS
(Times Staff Co1AsspOndent)

BILOXI, Miss, Earch 4.-Wil-
lingness for work. has character
lied Eddie Linke, pudgy recruit
Griffith pitcher.
In 1882, Linke turned in 19 vic
tories for the Davenport club OF
the Mississippi Valley League, as
against only six losses for an
average of .76O. He struck out
228 men and walked the small
number of 65. He hit few :sats-
men and had no wild pitches
against his record. He is eX-
tremely heavy and this over
weight may work against his ef-
forts to earn a regular berth.
But If willingness to work and
perseverance means anything at
all, Linke has a great chance to
stick even though he may be
carried only as relief finger.
He has impressed all hands by
his spirit and determination.
To get him down to the best
possible weight, Trainer Mike
Martin has given him the hard
est work of all the rockies as
Linke himself will attest. Mike
has had him rolling on the
ground with the medicine ball,
running around the park three .
or four times a day and has seen
to it that he's been actively en-
gagged in the volley games, clos
ing each mornings session.
Off the field the trainer has
watched his protege's diet, max
ing sure that post bran and milk
have been his only foods. Al
though it sounds barbaristic
Linke has benefited as his weight
today is barely over the 200
pound mark as against pounds
and pounds over that when he .
first reported. A willing lad? A
great prospect? You bet your
sweet life.

training more seriously than ever
because he really wants to stick
with the Griffmen for another
season and even others to come:
He may, at that. if his overland
delivery stands him in good stead.
Pitching in this manner is not
entirely new to Bob, as he was
an overland twirler when he first
came to the Griffmen way back
in 1928. But somebody on the
club at that time persuaded him
to pitch side-armed and a side
armed hurler he's been ever since.
Bob has never liked pitching
this way even though the records
tell that he's been able to turn in
several topnotch performances.
Maybe this new plan he's mapped
out for himself will aid him in
becoming the real hurler he wants
to be this year. At least the idea
has given him new courage.
The Washington times., 1933-03-04

The boy pilots pitchers, for a
distinct example, are cutting loose
as if the opening of the cam
paign was only tomorrow. The
several catchers in camp are be-
ginning to throw a little harder
to the bases in brief tests while
the little band Of "other" players
such as Johnny Kerr, Cecil Travis
and Sam Rice, are being allowed
to open up more than at any
time before since the start of
drills.
To close yesterdays session,
Cronin got up an impromptu in
field drill. Moe Berg was placed
at first base, Johnny Kerr took
second, Manager Cronin filled in
at his accustomed position at
short while Cecil Travis, the Chat
tanooga youngster, held down
third.
With Cliff Bolton catching and
Nick Altrock hitting, the boys"
travelled through a torrid session
ending with Travis looking par
ticular good at third and Bolton,
at the plate, with their strong
throws to the various bases.
Plans Another Today
It is Manager Cronin's plan to
hold another of these drills to-
day as it is one item that surely
helps pep up events for the day
for all involved. Batting prac-
tice also will be held as the
pitchers get a great deal of work
out of this, besides gaining the
chance to step up to the pan
and socking 'em out to their
hearts content.
Monte Weaver, the former Bal
timore Oriole hurler, who set the
league on fire by his sensational
work last season, essayed the
mound for the first time yester-
day. He fired a couple of hun
dred to the plate in his debut
and finished none the worse for
his efforts.
Monte states that he is in ex-
cellent shape. He is one of those
types who knows whereof he
speaks as seldom in the past has
he told things out Of school that
wasn't just about right.
So far during this training
grind the big highlander has
taken things very easily. He
hasn't attracted much attention
by his efforts but he's been get
ting himself into trim just the
same. Yesterday he proved his
case by hurting Everything" to
the plate as a sample.
Tradition to Conquer
Monte has a particular tradi-
tion to conquer this year al
though he may not realize it.
It is being q winning pitcher
again in his second season as a
big Lacquer. He says he feels
confident he'll be successful once
more even though that old ira
dition enigma has kept many an
aspiring hurler from delivering
at best after a great first year.
Monte won % games and lost 10
in 1882.
Trainer Mike Martin has an
other member of the rookie crop
come to him yesterday for aid.
It was Bob Frederick, young
pitcher, who had gotten himself
a bothersome cold. Mike put the
youngster to bed and will keep
him there for a couple Of days
until improvement Is shown.
