r ONE again for a 2l-game
- stand beginning tomor-
row, the Nationals have
L a lot of ground to pickup
before attaining a respectable
position in this Seething Ameri-
can League flag fight, if they
are to do so.
They are to meet all the Western
clubs and the Yankees before quitting
Griffith Stadium again and with the
season one-third gone the home
schedule ahead sizes up as a do or die
stretch for Joe Cronin and his
charges.
Perhaps the Nationals are fortunate
In running into the last-place White
Sox at the outset of the stand in the
Georgia avenue ball yard. Maybe they
can trim this not-So-good Chicago
crew that will visit for four games
and so develop winning habits before
the tougher talent comes along.
The Nationals need some tonic after
their disastrous trip to Boston There
they found the Red Sox bad medicine,
dropped two of the three games played
and came out of the series tied by the
Boston bunch for fifth place in the
race.
Take Bitter Beating.
THEY took a bitter beating yes
terday in 4-to-3 battle, which
the Red Sox bagged in the
niEth. Yves Terrell, who was plague

Cleveland uniform, proved just as
much one in the garb of the Bean
towners. The big Highlander not
only pitched a great game following
rather rough start, but after one was
out in the ninth clouted a long fly
that accounted for the decisive score
The Nationals got eight hits spread
over seven innings off Terrell. That
was the number the Red Sox got of
AL Thomas, but they clustered four
of them in the first frame to stake
themselves to fair lead and there
after Thomas had to pitch his head
off to hold them at bay.
He gave a splendid exhibition, but
one of the hits off him after the bad
start happened to be a homer clouted

Thomas was in grave danger of taking
his licking in the eighth, but managed
to pitch himself out of trouble then.
But he couldn't stave off determined
Red SoX attack in the ninth.
There was some sound humping
done by the Red SoX in the first frame
when they hung up two scores. Cis-
sell began the attack with a single,
then checked in at third when Werber
ratified the left field fence with dou-

nolds and Porter singled. but these
hits were wasted, for Schultz, after
hard run, got under Rick Ferrell's
high one.
TIE Nationals came right back in
the second session for a tie. Stone
walked and pulled up at third when
Travis slammed tWo-bagger.

PARIS VETERANS
STAGE RIOT

PARIS, Dec. 7 GN.S).-Two
hundred French War veterans
staged an unprecedented demon
stration last night by lying down
on the crowded Avenue de POpera
in the center of Paris, tying up
traffic.
Many police and members of
the Garde Mobile surrounded the
demonstrators.
Previously, a group of veterans
had called upon the ministry of
finance demanding their pensions.
The demonstration attracted a
curious crowd to the fashionable
Place de POpera. The demonstrat,
ors kept up monotonous cry of
"Our pensionS!"
The veterans were dispersed
within a few minutes and
marched in groups to their homes,
still shouting.

ALASKA DATA
BY SIBERIAN

Thanks to the patience OF a 40
year.old, red.bearded Siberian di-
Vinity student, the Library OF Con-
gress today has one Of the most
interesting collections Of Alaskan
historical documents in the world
The documents, written by Rus
sian missionaries in Alaska dS
early as 1772, we're discovered IN
q subbasement of st. Nicholas
Cathedral, Russian church, In
New York city in 1927 by Michael
z. Vinokouroff, then a research
worker in the Library of Congress.
Chiefly because of his intense
enthusiasm and personal influ-
ence, the entire collection finally
was donated to the American Gov
ernment.
Was Only Natural
It was only natural, therefore,
he himself was assigned to the
Aegean,like task of translating and
cataloguing the archives.
Hidden away in an alcove OF the
manuscript division stacks, the
handsome and cultured Vinokou-
rolf labors away at his documents
every day and then, gathering up
unfinished work, hurries to his
home in Forest Glen, Md, to
continue far into the night.
Russian manuscripts are his
passion and he proudly relates, In
his Russian accent. how he has
personally built up the most COM
plete collection of Russian works
ever assembled in this country.
Mr.. Vinokouroff's life would
fill a library in itself. but of those
dark, bloody days of the Bolshe.
vik uprising and his imprisonment
he has little to say other than he
fled. a Socialist, unable to sub
scribe to Communism, before the
Red wave. to Tokyo, Japan.
Educated for the priesthood in
Siberia there could be no return
and after eking out a meager
existence in japan by singing in
q church choir for two years, he
sought refuge in America.
For IL years he has worked at
the library here, punctuating his
work with trips to New York and
Chicago for research.
Little Had Been Known
The st. Nicholas Cathedral
"find" was an outstanding achieve
ment. for little had been known
of early Alaska. The handwritten
documents of Russian priests at
Sitka, are highly valued by the
Library, as is indicated by Her
bert Putnam's comment in his
annual report as Librarian Of
Congress.
He characterized the discovery
as contributing invaluable source
material for historians of the days
preceding the purchase of Alaska
in 1867"

World of Music
Leopold Stokowsk Quits Philadelphia Orches
ira in Row Over Judson; Will Tour
China and Japan

There was but one topic Of
conversation in the world OF
music today, and that was the
resignation of DR.. Leopold Sto-
kowSki as conductor of the Phlla-
delphia Symphony.
The break has been coming
for many months. 1t has been
an open secret that the conductor
and the board of directors Of
the orchestra, one of the most
noteworthy in the world, have
been at outs.
Gave a Hint Here
But even so, it comes as a
shock to realize that after %
years that Director Stokowski,
the man who built up the orches-
ira to it's high standard, will
never again WELD the baton
over it.
He gave a hint Of this here in
Washington several weeks ago
when he conducted the orchestra
in the first of its annual series
of concerts here.
And most unusual for Leopold
Stokowski, he made little speech
to the capacity audience. Some
suspected then-and know now
that this was his farewell forever
as conductor of the orchestra.
His reasons for reSigning are
two. One, the failure to agree on
a successor to Arthur Judson, the
executive director. and second
deep lying differences with the
board"
Matter of Policy
These differences are largely
over the boards policy of present
ing opera and the request that DR..
Stokowski conduct opera, re.
quest which he refused to grant.
Last spring his contract expired.
He was offered a new five-year
contract which he refused. asking
instead a year leave of absence.
The board countered by asking
him to remain through this
month. He accepted this, and
yesterday wrote his formal reSig-
nation. thus ending the tension
of many months.
DR.. and Mrs. Stokowski will
leave next moth for a trip to the
Orient where he will make a study
of japanese and Chinese music.
His plans for the future are in
definite, but it was learned on
high authority that several major
motion picture companies are anx-
ious to bring him to Hollywood
and that a number of very attrac'
tive offers have already been made
him.
The Philadelphia Orchestra will
be heard here in the next few
weeks with a guest conductor
And a merry race will be on to see
who is named to take StokoWski'S S
post.
