Mrs. L. H. Parker, the attrac-

viseS the Senate on taxation
problems, was seen lunching at
the Madrillon recently. "A
young married woman was seen
to stop in the middle of Penn
Sylvania Avenue at Fourteenth
Street the other night, while
with a group of friends, and
drape herself around a young
man for a bit of lip labor, de-

was in the crowd and she was
making history as the first
woman to be kissed in the mid

One Of the busiest physicians
in this town is DR.. E. w. Titus,
who is the able assistant of the

the father that all is we'll.

Fraser talked him into looking at
matters in a different light. After
getting started good, again, he
ran into some bad breaks which
made him declare:
"I've got no right to be bowl
ing any more. I'm missing
everything and look worse than
a dub Odt there"
But here they are teamed to-
gether again. The man who hung

done the same thing.
Four years ago the team was
outstanding in doubles, being the
only duo to beat the Blue Ribbons
stars, Nick Tronsky and Bill Tato,
turning the trick twice.
The pair has won a Washington
City Doubles crown, and during
the 1928 1929 season established q
high average of 245-10 for 939
games in the District Doubles
League.
Good in Doubles
Both men are especially profi-
cient in doubles, and Paul was on
the United States tWo-man cham
pionship team in 1880 and 1881.
He teamed with Joe Mulroe the
first year, as Make was unable
to leave his work, and with Ed
die Espey the second time, in &C
cordance with his employers
wishes. He also won the mixed
doubles with Elsie Fischer in 1881.
Harrison is happy over the
thought of rolling once more with
his old friend. He said
There's no one I'd rather
roll with than Make ROSen-
berg and I sure will be tickled
to death to have him as my
partner once more. He's done
a lot for me in the past and
I'm glad to be back with him
again. Well both practice a
bit at the Arcadia and hope we
can get going again like we
used to-
And with a little practice the
team is going to be hard to beat,
The games will be rolled April IA

Today there Is a new rumor
And it isn't about ball players
but training camps.
There's every possibility that
the Griffs will not return here
next spring for their annual
grind.
Several Reasons
And why? Several reasons, me
lads. First, President Griffith has
found it terribly difficult to ar
range a training camp schedule,
as the meager exhibition list of
this spring will prove. Next,
there's no team due to train at
Mobile, Ala, in 1935-which city
has been without a team this
spring-and, finally, powerful ru-
mors are going the rounds that
the Cleveland Indians are not 60
ing to return to New orleans next
year.
Of course when the .prexy is &C.
costed on the subject he won't say
a word pro or con.
Dissatisfied at Biloxi
But still something will be
done before long due to the
rumors floating around. From
the exhibition game standpoint,

There is also the question
Of syndicating ball to be con-

that he was made a present of

notice something strange about
those Indians last season? 1

"Still, the KingfiSh might
come in handy while MancusO

a good catcher in the Long

wasn't he?

DAVE HARRIS


"If they would only let me

400"
This has always been Dave
Harris promise to baseball but
as yet he has not been given that
break.
But Dave has fulfilled his prom.
Use and value in other ways since
being a Griffman. He's been a
most powerful pinch hitter. while
on other occasions he's jumped
into the game at a moments no
tice and carried on for an ailing
regular until that performer was
able to get back into the game
again.
Dave has had two big moments
in his life. The first was when he
broke up Tommy Bridges no-hit
game with a single in the ninth
inning at Detroit in 1882. while
the other was when he jumped
down to Chattanooga and helped
the Lookouts win the Southern
League pennant that same year.
incidentally, he batted his 400 at
that time.
On and off the ball field Dave
is a great fellow. Is a great kid
der, and is forced to take plenty
in return from his teammates. Is
quite a card player. Loves big
black cigarS-chews 'em every
moment off the field, sings in his
more jovial moments, and other
wise enjoys life immensely.
