Best Dressed Woman of Screen Didn't Know
She Was Passing Away; Spoke Last of Long
Trip With Husband to Achieve Rest

NEW YORK, March 20 G.Ns0.
Li1yan TaShman, who loved life
desperately, today lay in state
at a funeral chapel here. She
will be buried beside her mother
and father, brother and two
sisters, in a Brooklyn cemetery
on Friday.
Edmund Lowe, her grief-strick-
en- actor husband, said that
Lilyan had once told him that
when she died she wanted to
be buried with her family and
with the ritual Of her Jewish
faith.
Terribly Frightened
For a year and a half, the
fear of death hung over Lilyan
as she kept going the vivacity for
which she was famous.
The screen actress had never
been sick a day Of her life until
the humorous complication de-
veloped in October, 1892, from
which she died in the Medical
Center during an emergency
operation.
In 1882, when they took her
to the operating room for the
first time, she was terribly fright
ened. She had been frightened
ever since. She said as much
several times in recent interviews,
but never revealed her terrible
secret fear to Edmund Lowe.
Her husband was with her
when she died. Mrs. Tiffany
Saportis, a friend, who was also
at her bedside, said:
"She was unconscious for
two or three hours before she
died"
"The last thing she said was
that when she got better she
was going to take a good long
rest before doing any more pic
ture work. I don't think she
know she was dying and we
didn't tell her."
MADE OVER DRESSES
Lilyan was truly devoted to her
husband. She underwent a num-
Der Of blood tranSfuSions in
Hollywood last summer. When
she came out of the ether she
kept calling for Ed"
Lowe, on a personal appear
ance tour, cancelled his booking
and rushed back to the coast.
Next to her love for her hus-
band and her hunger for the
gaiety of life, Lilyan was fond OF
clothes. She was termed the best
dressed woman in Hollywood.
Lilyan once told how she de-
veloped her keen sense of style.
She said:
IT was the youngest Of seven
sisters. My family wasn't
very rich and the girls used to
hand down their dresses as
they Outgrew them. So when
/ got q dress, / had to figure
out how to make it look well.
think I learned to dress well
from that"
NOT EXTRAVAGANCE
She was always buying new
gowns. After wearing them twice
she generally gave them away.
She argued:
Having SO many clothes 70

Seventy-five grand, and it was

Yep, seventy-five tn ousa n d

Think of it!
Judge Emil Fuchs, president
and owner of the Boston Braves,
is thinking of it today and Won

You see, Judge Emil offered this
vast amount of money to Larry
MacPhail, new owner of the Gin.
cinnati Reds, as an attraction to
wean Chick Hafey, star outfielder,
away from the Reds.
And Owner MacPnail's answer
was an emphatic "No!"
Was Here Today
Judge Fuchs, who was in town
today to invite several of his po-
litical friends to a dinner planned
at Boston next week, told this
story before his departure for
Beantown.
He said:
81 don't know what MacPhail
is thinking about when he turns
down seventy five grand. I'll
tell the world 1 wouldn't if
somebody offered it to me. But
maybe he wants a couple Of
players, as we'll as cash, for
Hafey. My idea is that cash is
enough"
This deal, it seems, has been
brewing between the Boston
Braves and Cincinnati Reds for
days. The inside story is that
Fuchs wants Hafey and wants
him so badly that he is willing
to give $4,000 smackers for the
veteran outfielder.
MacPhail, on the other hand. is
anxious to strengthen the Reds
but not to the extent of parting
with the man he considers the
best performer on his club. And
so the deal is at a Standstill to-
day.

that MacPhail offered Jim Bot
tomley, first baseman, to Fuchs
in the hope of getting Baxter
Jordon, first Sacker, and Bill
Gyselman, hot corner guardian,
from the Braves. Fuchs has been
considering this, but would like to
have Chick Hafey also.
And right here is where the
$4,000 offer came in.
Maybe there might be a change
in heart somewhere before Fuchs
spends many days in Boston after
his arrival there. In the mean
time the Judge is puzzled man

offer was turned down.

There's of course the great net

even though he never partici-

BERLIN, Jan. 4.-Breaking a
prolonged silence on the subject
of his plans, Max Schmeling,
former heavyweight champion,
announced today that he was sail
ing aboard the Bremen on Janu'
ary IL to meet King LeVinsky in
Chicago next month and charac-
terized as nonsense" those re-
ports that said Chancellor Hitler
had forbidden the match.
The reports in question were
predicated on the fact that Levin
sky is a Hebrew and that the
Hitler policy is anti-Jewish.
"That's absurd" Schmeling
said, instantly. "Herr Hitler
advised against any break with
my manager, Jacobs, who is
Jewish. So why should he
object to LevinSky?"
AS Schmeling talked, he sat
framed in an arm chair with his
pretty blonde wife and film star,
Amy Ondra. ="
The conversation then Veered
back to the Chicago meeting with
Levinsky.
81 feel certain I'll win," he
said, quietly. ut will be my
start toward another match for
the championship"
Asked whether, he felt that
the Carnera-Loughran fight at
Miami might interfere with these
plans, he said, instantly:
''NOt at all. On the contrary,
I think it will reopen the field
considerably, since I regard
Carnera as an almost certain
winner over LOughran, and 1
know that Primo is ready to
meet me. AS for Max Baer,
1 understand that he is doing
so well in stage and screen work
that he may not return to
the ring this summer.
'Tf Baer is available, I'd like
nothing better than to meet
him again and reverse the
knockout l suffered last sum-
mer."

Among the Six

Cyril Walker, national open

There they are, all six Of them
and if the Miami open champ
ionship of 1884, the first major
golf tournament Of the infant
year, doesn't rest between them
by Sunset next Sunday, then in
deed will an outstanding sports
upset greet the very first week
Of the new year!
Incidentally, every Miami
open champion, except two,
johnny Revolta, last years vic
tor and Abe Mitchell, the win
ner of the first tournament
eight years ago, will be bidding
for honors this year. Despite the
fact he has won the crown four
times, many here are pulling for
Gene Sarazen to repeat and
make it five.
The Little MusSolini is ex-
tremely popular in these parts,
and is considered the man to
beat this week, although every
one admits Tommy Armour, the
Black Scot is always a threat
In any event he enters.
Washington will be repre-
sented by that sturdy cam
paigner from the public links,
Mel Shorey and Leo Walper, an
unattached professional, accord
! ing to his entry blank. Upwards
Of rs or 80 are expected to start
, although late entries or with
, drawals may affect such an es-
, innate.
; OF the former Miami open
winners to be watched are Will
! lie Klein, the blond pro from
Mamaroneck, L. l., who spends
his winters at the LaGorce
, course, and who was victorious
in 1926. Joe Turnesa, of Bay
side, L. l., who triumphed in
1881 has been here some time,
and is right on top of his game.
Bear Watching
Then there are several young
hopefuls who are conceded
chance as Johnny Kinder, Cald-
well, N. j., runner-up to Armour
in 1882, who is the New Jersey
>. G. A. champion; Ralph and
Russell Stonehouse of Indian
apoliS; Phil Perkins, former
J British Amateur champion;
Tom Creavy, 1882, P. G. A. It'll
ist, and Eddie Williams, run
ner-up to Turnesa in 1881.
Believe it or not, two ranking
pros hereabouts recently refused
to split $685.. offered them by a
wealthy sportsman whose hobby
is golf. The three of them were
about to tee-off at Miami
Springs and the millionaire, one
of the half dozen still extant in
the United States, addresses the
, pros:
"IH put up SIS, for you boys
TO shoot at"
When the match was over
both pros had cards of SO, so the
sugar papa said:
Heres the money, split it any
way you wish"
Nothing doing" they chO-
rLSed, ut was worth that much
. to play with yOu!"
And believe it or not, one Of
them was a Scotchman.
Gene Sarazen, who has been
touring the country for months
in an aerocar, is going to aban-
don it and fly from tournament
to tournament in his own air
plane and at the controls. He is
taking flying lessons from Bill
Lear, and soon hopes to have
his nrivate nilot'c license.
