Detroit's gallant Red Wings,

overcoming two big obstacles to
conquer the Chicago Black
Hawks, 5 to 2, in the third match
of the series.
The struggle will be resumed Tues

golf in any serious way-which is all
up to him-he can get a better start
by watching good golfers swing a club
and getting an idea of what a golf
swing looks like. Then he can imi-

way practically all good golfers start.

Some Of the boys would describe

The boy from Nebraska repudiated
this classification. All he asked was
$4,000 a year, a strong catcher to
hold his delivery, and a chance to
work every day. Under these condi-

employers the pennant.
Mr.. Meyer moved from camp to

TINE third period was far gone
before the Wings went into the
lead on freak goal by Doug
Young. The Hawks had kept the
puck in Detroit territory for about
3 minutes, harassing Guide with shots,
when Young got the puck and lifted
an easy shot from near the Chicago
blue line. The disc dropped in front
of Goalie Chuck Gardiner, and
bounced over his feet into the net.
In the hole. the Hawks forgot cau-
ton and sent in four and five men
in an attempt to pull up even. The

the fourth Detroit goal, and Aurie

n IEW YORK, April 9.-Given
nj a substantial vote OF con-
v fidence, despite their fall
ure against the Giants in
the 1888 world series, the Wash
ington Senators are picked to
repeat in this years American
League race, starting exactly one
week from today in the National
Capital.
Tabulation of votes in the eighth
annual Associated Press pennant poll,
conducted among major league sports
writer's and editors shows the cham
pions to be the choice of 49 out Of 81
experts. This is slightly better than
so per cent for Joe Cronin and his
well-balanced crew.
The conviction that the New York
Yankees is the only club with a
real chance to upset the Senators
echoes from the fact that it Is
the choice of 33 observers to win the
pennant. This vote gives Joe Nc
Carthy's club solid hold on second
place in the consensus.
The rest of the clubs are picked
to finish in this order: Boston Red
Sox, third; Detroit Tigers, fourth;
Cleveland Indians, :lfth; Chicago
White Sox, sixth; Philadelphia Ath-
letics, seventh, and st. Louis Browns,
eighth.
Some of the experts may wish to
hedge If Lefty Grove doesn't produce
pitching results in keeping with his
s125.000 price tag, but the Red Sox
are the sensation of the poll, never
;heless. with majority support for their
| first division chances and no less than
eight observers naming them to dash
of with the pennant.

Tigers, Chisox Long Shots.


THE Tigers and White Sox, the
other two clubs benefiting from
trades with the Athletics, are
the only remaining long-shot choices
to top the entire standing. In the
consensus, however, Cleveland takes
fifth place from the White Sox by a
narrow margin, and the Indians may
turn out to be the real dark horse of
the race, if their exhibition perform
ances against the world champion
Giants are a criterion.
AS an illustration of the extraordi-
nary range of opinion expressed in
the poll, the Tigers and White Sox
received votes from one source or an
other for every position in the final
standing.
Although they have some scattered
supporters the somewhat dismantled
Athletics and Rogers Hornsby's hus-
tling Browns are consigned to the
depths. This marks the first time in
the eight-year history of the pennant
poll that the AS have been picked to
finish outside the first division.
The experts have been crossed up
before, however, and the situation
may prove disconcerting this season
when the games begin to count. Last
year the Yankees were overwhelming
favorites to win the pennant.

then accompanied her to their
home at 1879 East 222nd st. in the
Bronx.
He said he left the restaurant
(and the two Frederiksen's corro-
borated him) about 8 to 9:30 p. m.
The baby was kidnapped between
$50 and 10 p. m.
Fateful Tuesday
The Hauptmanns and the Fred
eriksens were certain that Haupt-
mann was in the Frederiksen res
taurant on the night of March l,
1882, because it was a Tuesday
night. Mrs. Hauptmann, they
testified, worked late on Tuesdays
and Fridays-the nights when
Mrs. Frederiksen was not there
and her husband was busy with
his baking.
1t was this fact that March l
was Tuesday, rather than any
thing else, that made them GER
tain. They could not remember,
however, the particular Tuesday
that was March /, 1882.
Difficult Task
New jerseys seemingly most
difficult task will be to prove
that Hauptmann was the man
who kidnapped the baby; to prove
that he was at the scene OF the
crime.
The nearest the Jersey authori-
ties have come to proving that
to date was through the testimony
of Millard Whited. back-country
New Jersey logger. He said that
on two occasions shortly before
the kidnapping he had seen Haupt-
mann within a few miles of the
Lindbergh home. Those occasions,
he said, were on February 18,
1892, and February q, 1882.

This is the fourth of q series
ot articles dealing 1Dith Bruno
Richard Hauptmann'S trial on
the charge OF numbering the Lind
beroh baby.
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
T Copyright, 1884. by International
News Service)
FLEMINGTON, N. j., Dec. IA
'ON.SO Bruno Richard Haupt'
mann says he was at home in the
Bronx, New York City-65 miles
from the Lindbergh estate at
Hopewell, N. Jon the night OF
March /, 1882, when the Lind.
bergh baby was kidnapped.
If this alibi is true, obviously
he could not have abducted the
infant. But is it? Was he at
home in New York that night?
The State of New Jersey says
"No."
Accused Of Murder
Attorney General David T. Wi,
lentz of New Jersey plans to
knock the Hauptmann alibi helter-
skelter when the 36-year-old car
penter and ex-burglar is brought
to trial here on January 2 next
on the charge Of murder.
Mr.. Wilentz insists Hauptmann
was in New Jersey the night of the
crime - that, in fact, he is the
man who climbed the ladder,
seized the child from his crib and
subsequently murdered him.
So far in this unusual case it
has been definitely proved that
Hauptmann had in his possession
$15,5OO of the $4,000 Lindbergh
ransom money.
Evidence discriminating
Nearly everybody is convinced
Hauptmann is guilty of extortion
in view of the highly incriminat-
ing manner in which he is involved
in the ransom money. But, many
ask:
"Is he the actual kidnaper?"
The writer, who covered the
Hauptmann extradition proceed
ings in New York, recalls how en-
phatically Hauptmann denie e d
from the witnes stand that he kid
naped the baby.
Vehement Denial
Mr.. Wilentz was subjecting
Hauptmann to a lashing croSs-ex-
animation. Finally the attorney
general walked to few feet from
the Witnes chair and leVeled an &C
cusing finger at the stolid, pale
eyed German. He demanded:
Didn't you build the ladder
that was put up against the
Lindbergh house and didn't you
20 up that ladder into that room
and murder that child?"
Silence fell across Justice Ernest
E. L. Hammers courtroom in the
Bronx.
Hauptmann, his face ashen,
leaned forward. He gripped the
arms of his chair. His eyes, set
deep in their sockets, blazed.
"No!" he cried, in a voice that
doomed across the courtroom.
Friends Back Alibi
Hauptmann's "alibi" that he
was in New York on the fateful
night the baby was abducted was
backed up by his wife and two
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Christian
F'rederiksen. Frederiksen owned a
restaurant in the Bronx, where
Mrs. Hauptmann, the prisoners
wife, was employed in 1892.
Hauptmann Swore that on the
night of March /, 1882, he had
supper at the bakery-restaurant of

 Large Aid To Territory

Nearly S60 is being expended for each resident of Alaska both children and adult3-un- der allocations from the va1i- GUS Roosevelt emergency ad- mini3trati0ns, according to a report from Delegate Dimond's office.
 This does not include the regular appropriationsfromthe federal government. With the setting up of the emergency organizations Alaska began to benefit almost immediately. Allotments were made to the regular government depart ments and to new agencies and the flood of federal money started to spread over the Ter riJory.
 From the Public Works Ad- ministration alone has come a t2tal of $3,017,463, the report states. Add to that figure an- other S300,0O0 expended un- der the Civil Works Adminis- trati9n and another $250,000 spent for Emergency Conserva- tion Work.
 Add to that the probable reg ul&,r Alaska appropriation, which will amount to aproxi- mately $2,319,744, and we have grand total of $5,887,- 2O7.
 That is S2,315,7O2 more than was made available for Alaska in the Hoover 1888 budget.
