BUYERS BID FOR
 ART COLLECTION
Jewels of Late Edith Rockefeller Mccormick
 Being AuCtiOned

New York, Jan 5. (UP)-.A crowd of buyers, amateur collec- tors, and those merely curious filled the American Art Association Anderson Art Galleries to-day for resumption of the auction of the late Edith Rocgefeller McCormick's vast collection.
 They also hoped to learn the identity of the mysterious buyer, who, exceeding the best bids of the professional collectors, purchased the famous Mccormick diamond necklace and pendant for $15,O0O.
 Bidding for the 34 pieces of jewelry belonging to the late Chi cago society matron became more spirited when the necklace, made up of 1,981 diamonds, was placed on the block. The unknown buyer secured his purchase with a $5,O0O deposit, promising to return to-day to redeem it.
 It was rumored that the pur- chaser was a representative of the Rockefeller family. Mrs McCor- mick, former wife of Harold F. Me- Cormick, was the daughter of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
 The collection of furs, period furniture, jewelrs, porcelains and miniatures placed at sale yesterday, brought the estate $S1, ,445, and the totals for the first three days to $136,827.50.

Boston, Jan 5-(UP)-Harbinger of better times in the shoe indus try was 0 report that shoe sales at the 18th annual Boston shoe style show, which ends to-day, have to- tailed approximately $3,500,0oO.
 Purchases by some 4,O0O buyers from throughout the nation will in- sure capacity operation of New England's shoe factories for the next 60 days, Managing Director J. Goddard Brown said. He de- scribed buyer interest as the keen est in perhaps 10 years. .,

THE FEAST OF
 THE EPIPHANY
Observed Tomorrow - Referred to as Little
 Christmas"

The Feast of the Epiphany is observed tomorrow and though important and significant in the sequence of events following the Christmas feast it Is not a holy day of obligation in the Catholic church. The Epiphany, referred to as "Little Christmas" ends the Christmas season. The word sig nifies manifestation. In other lands the Feast of the Epiphany ranks with other important ones. While 1t is principally Christ's manifestation, the coming of the Magi or three wise men with gifts is more stressed in the western world according to an editorial in the Catholic Transcript, which says further, Ion Christmas He was brought into the world in the flesh of man. On the Epiphany He is shown forth to the world as God"
 Apart from it's religious signifi- canoe Little Christmas" was at one time an important festival especial 1y in the old countries, and time for nnerrymaking. Tho eve of the Epiphany was referred to as Twelfth Night, coming twelve days after Christtnas. Twelfth Day is also the last day when it is season. able to display Christmas decora- tions of greens, wreaths, trees, etc.

With brief Introductory cere-
monies, the seventeenth annual
Woman'S International Bowling
Congress got under way in the
Jess Pritchett Recreation alleys last

However, Killefer believes he will
start Lawrie in one of the Column
bus games and also give outfielder
COtelle an opportunity to demon
strate his skill under fire. Jimmy
Shevlin, the frail first sacker, looks
as though he is beginning to
weaken against fast ball pitching
and it's a good guess now that Ernie
Wingard soon will return to the
initial corner. Shevlin does every
thing expected in the field. but
Killefer fears the hard-ball throw
ers may knock the bat out Of the
Cincy youths hands.
Hens Make Six Errors
Killefer was eager to leave Toledo
with two victories. and he was dis
appointed bitterly when pitchers
Jack Using, Al Butzberger and John
Miljus failed him. The three hurl-
erS Topped and floundered, and the
fourth pitcher used, young Ed Bar
niger. turned in the best work. The
game was long and marred by poor
mound work and errorS-as a matter
of fact, Toledo committed six mis-
cues and the Indians two. When a
ball team makes six errors and wins,
it's strange type of pastiming.
The Indians jumped off to a lead
of to l and eventually piled up
lead of to at the end of the
fourth Stanza. The Hens tailed
twice in the fifth and it was to 7.
In the seventh the Tribe balloon
scared and before the session was
over the Hens had collected five
markers, giving them the lead and
game, y to g. The Indians were
held scoreleSs after the fourth. Four
hits, two walks, sacrifice and one
error accounted for the five runs
chalked up by Toledo in the pale
seventh.
The two miScueS against the In
dams yesterday were made by
shortStop Dudley Lee. The Indians
got nine hits, five for extra bases and
the Hens got thirteen blows, two
for extra sacks including Harry
Davis home run with one on in the
third. Davis got nine hits in the
three games, including three dou-
bleS and home run.
Killefer Needs HurlerS.
Thirty players were employed in
the wild contest, seventeen by To-
ledo. Vernon Washington cleaned
the sacks of Indians in the fourth
when he combed triple to the first
field corner. He batted in three Of
the Tribes nine runs and SigafooS
also batted in three. Manager

Alden Sampson, Race Car Owner,
Invents Games in His Spare Time

Alden Sampson of California,
whose racing automobiles have been
among the foremost in the annual
Memorial Day 5O0-mile grindS at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, has
as his avocation the invention of
games to amuSe people.
However. he will leave off his lat
est amusement device, the nature of
which he will not reveal until his
patents are approved in Washing
ton to watch the progress of an
auto he has entered in this years
Speedway event.
Sampson made his debut here as
racing auto owner in 1923, when
Lou Meyer persuaded him to buy
car built by Phil Shafer Meyer
drove it through to victory, and
Sampson made big-time racing his
life's work. The Sampson Meyer
combination held together until last
year, when Meyer repeated his vic
tory, this time in Ralph Hepburn's
car. SIMPSONS car, with Chef
Gardner driving, finished fourth.
Sampson brought the radio-teIe-
phone to the track last year and

Killefer will now proceed to put the
pressure on pitchers Using and
Miljus, hurlers figured to be regu-
lars. Their performance yesterday
indicated they were far from ready
and they will be required to do some
extra training. Young Butzberger,
tryout, was good enough until
runners got on base, when he lost
his stuff and folded.
Killefer's efforts to secure new
hurlers have met with no success
and he is unlikely to land new tall
ent until the big league clubs make
their final cuts to get within the
player limit.

ing a pink crane, were brought
back from the wilds of the Matte
Crosse section Of Brazil by an ex'
petition of three Americans, who
returned aboard the Munson liner

The members of the expedition
were H. r. Mallinson, student
at Yale University; Brian O'Neil,
a Fordham University graduate,
and DR.. Arthur Cleaves Of the
Lafayette College faculty.
: Mr.. Mallinson said that after
taking the picture of the ana.
conda and the pink crane, he
shot the anaconda through the
head and then bent over the
reptile to inspect it. AS he did,
he said, it suddenly coiled around
him and he had to hack at it for
some time with his machete be.
fore he killed it and extricated
himself from the coils.
