10 Call Sp1uaCu.
A survey taken of Washington's
betting circles resulted in the all
together-unheard-of discover
that nobody wants to gamble the
hard learned" on the outcome of
tonight's 10-round clash between
Steve and Buck at the Riding and
Hunt Club.
There is no favorite in this
Dudas-Everett scrap tonight for the
simple reason that there is little
to choose between the two either
physically or for fighting talent.
Buck, Jimmy ErWin'S latest pro-
tege, will give away five pounds
to his opponent, weighing 185 to
Steve'S 100.
No Handicap
Erwin, however, feels this differ
ence in weight will in no way
handicap his heavyweight. who
has been justly called a Second
Dempsey" a title earned by his
in-rushing, take-it-and-giVe-it style
of fighting.
Dudas lost a decision, but not
much prestige, his last time out
when he bowed to Abe Feldman,
at Madison Square Garden. New
York writer's, almost to the man
credited Dudas with the victory
on that occasion despite the YER
dict handed down by the officials
AlI-Big- Boy Card
The Riding and Hunt Club
card will be an all-big-boy affair
tonight, nothing less than Welter'
weights performing on the "a
round program.
The semiwindup brings together
Sylvan Bass and Peter Mike. Bass
will be remembered here for his
victory over Ken Overlin at old
Portner'S Arena.
In other bouts Sid Silas meets
Joey Greece, Sam Finazzo tussles
with Johnny Stein, of Norfolk,
and Henry Irving swaps punches
with Jake Hudson.

OL|VER| SAVES
GAME TWICE
FOR TEAM
By GINO SINH


Duckpin fans will do well to
pull out their note books and jot
down the name Of Marvin Oliveri,
16-year-old anchor man of the
Sunrise Bakery junior team IN
the Temple Minor League.
Young Oliveri, rolling his first
year in league competition, is
turning in an anchoring job tnat
many grisly hot" spot veteran
may well envy.
Perhaps no finer bit of anchor
ing has been done this season in
any league in the District as
that done by Oliveri last week, to
permit the Sunrise Bakery juniors
to register the most startling up
set in the Temple Minor League
this year, a three-game victory
over the second place Benning
Service Station.
Battle Nip and Tuck
After having won the first
game, the two teams battled nip
and tuck throughout the second
game. AS matter of record, the
opposing boWlers matched each
other, mark for mark, in the
last five boxes.
With Oliveri left to shoot in
the tenth frame, Benning had a
margin of nine pins and seemed
victorious. AS deliberately as if
he was practicing, the icy-nerved
kid chalked up spare and
equally as coolly he filled it with
a nine count to tie the game at
531 each.
Marvin had to again avail him
self of his ability to shoot in the
pinch, when needing nine to win
the roll-off he counted ten. Sum-
rise won the last game by II pins
for the sweep.
Scores Eight Strikes
Oliveri will be one of the bowl
attention last month when he
scored eight strikes in one set, a
feat only twice before bettered
in recorded duckpin annals.
Though this is his first year in
league competition he is averag-
ing 107, and has a 154 game to
his credit as well as a 378 and
372 set.
Oliveri will lbe one of the bowl
erS to watch in the sixth annual
italian Sweepstakes at Temple,
Saturday.
Incidentally every member of
the Sunrise Junior team is first
year man and all under 18 years
of age. Despite the fact that they
are facing stiff opposition they
have won 19 games against %
losses.
Members of Team
The other members of the team
and their averages are: Vincent
Galeano and Carl Wexhausen, 101
each; Ed Kilby, 100; Henry Wex-
hausen, SO, and Sidney Stein, 90.
The team was organized by
George Honey, Northeast's noted
"wrong-foot" bowler, and is some.
thing of League of Nations af-
fair, numbering two boys of Ital-
ian descent, two of German, one
of Hebrew and one of English,
and being backed by Gus Places,
a Greek, and backer of the cele-
brated Sunrise Bakery All-Stars
who did brilliant special match
work during past seasons.

on Palaces Is yard mark.
DeLabre Scores Second
Snail DeLabre scored th4
second touchdown when he
crashed over from the 2-yard
line. Benner added the extra
point with a neat placement kick.
Benner also attempted to add the
extra point on the first touch
down but failed.
DeLabre played one of the best
games of his brilliant career,
gaining more than $50 yards. file
pounded the much lighter Palace
forward wall for consistent 6-7-8
yard gains almost every time he
lugged the oval. He looked like

TAYLOR IS MAN
Of VARIED
TALENTS

Few young Government officials
have packed as many different eX'
periences into 81 years as Frank A.
Taylor, curator of the division of
engineering in the Smithsonian III
Stitution.
Tall, dark and good looking, it
Is undoubtedly only his modeSty
and natural reticence that has
kept him from being better known.
Born in Capital
Born in Washington, Mr.. Taylor
has maintained his legal residence
here ever since, living with mem.
bers of his family in the 100 block
Of Upshur st. N. w.
The World War interrupted his
schooling at Mckinley High when
he took a position with the War
Risk Insurance, but he later gradu-
ated and went to George Wash
ington University. From there he
went to Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, where he graduated In
1928.
He had already joined the staff
of the Smithsonian before COM
pleting college, getting his first
job, that of apprentice modeller,
in 1922. He progressed rapidly
through the grades of aid, pre-
parator, and assistant curator to
his present post as curator, but
found time to take a bachelor Of
laws degree at Georgetown Univer-
sity last year while, at the same
time, teaching at Catholic Univer-
Sity.
Hopes to Practice
Never having had an oppor-
tunity to practice law, he hopes
to later, nevertheless, when he
specializes in patent law.
He likes horseback riding and
rides frequently from public
stables and from Fort Myer where
he is a second "looey" in the
Army Reserves. He recalls with
great deal Of satisfaction a cruise
to Costa Rica as messman on the
United Fruit Company's steamer
Ulua, also a trip to Europe in
1926 during which he visited
many of the largest engineering
museums.
He has written considerably for
scientific magazines and like his
"boss," Head Curator Carl w.
Mitman, is a contributor to the
Dictionary of American Biog-

NEW YORK, July IL G.N.sD.
Patrick Cardinal Hayes, Catholic
Archbishop of New York, today
entered the fight against unclean
motion pictures.
The Cardinal sent to all priests
under his jurisdiction a letter in
which he thanked God" that
American Protestants, Jews and
Catholics had risen in united pro-
test against "the evil character
and shocking debasement of many
motion pictures"
The Cardinals letter, which will
be read at all Roman Catholic
masses Sunday, warned of the evil
effects which immoral films could
have on a community's morale.
The Cardinal blamed the failure
Of other movements to clean up
the films on the failure of the
producers to cooperate.
He alluded only once to the
legion Of decency, which was
started by the Catholic Church
and Joined soon afterward by the
other two leading faiths Of Amer.

HOLLYWOOD, July 13 d.N.sJ
The motion picture industry's
new deal against immortality in

rush in all major studios here
today.
Writers and directors have been

Meanwhile, in the various

here and there.
Chief among those who watched
the chickering's on the silver
screen of pictures designed for
release after July Is were Will
Hays, movie "czar," and Joseph
I. Breen, who, under the new
deal in picture morals" becomes
a moral dictator for the film

WAGES
BASIS FOR 5
PCT.FUNDS
McCarI Rules Amount of Sal
aries, Not Congressional
Appropriations, Base

Funds given to Government
agencies to cover the additional
five per cent Federal pay, must
be based on the actual amount Of
salaries to be paid out during the
present fiscal year, rather than
on the Congressional appropria-
tions for salaries.
This ruling came today from
Comptroller General McCarl, in
response to a question from the
Government Printing Office.
The question asked If savings
of $25,939, in amounts ap-
propriated for personal services
during this fiscal year, could be
applied to paying new appointees
and giving administrative promo
tions. The figure was reached by
adding five per cent, Of $26,756,
to the Congressional appropria-
ton of $481,612, and .deducting
$482, ,429, which represented the
actual salary commitments on
July /, 1884, plus the five per
cent restoration.
The Comptroller General ruled
the sum to be 80 per cent of the
basic aggregate or total of basic
salary rates on July ! would be
$457, ,038, or $482, ,429 minus $685.
391. The latter figure represents,
he said, the extra appropriations
for the per cent restoration,
hence the total funds available
for personnel would be the Con-
gressional appropriation plus $685.
391, or $507, ,0O3.
