NEAREST FOE
IS TOPPED BY
ONE STROKE
By HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSIELLO
Helen Dettweiler, Congressional
Country Club, was one stroke in
front of Virginia Williams, also
of Congressional Country Club,
who in turn was one stroke in
front Of Virginia Pope, defending
champion, and Betty Keller,
public Links champion, at the
end of nine holes of play this
morning in the District Girls
Junior Golf Championship at
Congressional Country Club.
Miss Neff Trails
Nellie Mae Neff, of the Manor
Club, was far in the rear, II
strokes behind Miss Dettweiler
at this point.
Miss Pope would have been on
even terms with Miss Dettweiler
were 1t not for a two-stroke
penalty on the second hole. This
two-stroke penalty came on the
green when Miss Pope, putting.
permitted her ball to strike that
of Miss Dettweiler. Under United
States Golf Association rules, the
defending champion drew a two
stroke penalty.
Each of the five players in
the competition for the cham
pionship wasted strokes on the
outward. nine.
Keller Tries
Little Miss Keller, carrying the
hopes of the public players,
seemed unable to play a pitch
shot, so important on such a
course as Congressional. Despite
handicaps and disadvantages, the
Public Links girl battled courage
ously to keep her score down to
~ strokes for the first nine.

STARS OBJECT

HAVERFORD. Pa, June 2S
Plans to hold the national inter
collegiate tennis championship in
the west next year on clay courts
had received a jolt today.
Forty-four players who have
been competing in the golden jubi.
lee championship at the Merton
cricket Club here signed petit
zion requesting the United States
Lawn Tennis Association to con,
tinue to stage the tournament at
Haverford.
However, the club is in no way
connected with the move started
by the players and will make no
effort to get the championship
back next year, since its repre-
sentatives agreed at the annual
meeting of the U. S. L. T. A. last
February to give up the tourna.
ment if permitted to stage the
jubilee holding of the event.
Delegates at that meeting voted
to transfer the championship
hard courts in 1885.
This action was taken following
two years Of study and the taking
of a poll which showed that 90
per cent of the al colleges ques.
toned were in favor of the change.
The petition follows:
Whereas the national cham
pionships are played on grass;
whereas most of the major tour
naments are held on grass;
whereas the Merton Cricket
Club has for IS years so sue
cessfully handled the national
intercollegiate championships
on grass; we, the undersigned
collegians, petition the United
States Lawn Tennis Association
to continue holding the national
intercollegiate c h a mpionships
on the grass courts Of the
Merton Cricket Club, and not to
transfer said tournament to
clay courts.

100 Chise|ers See
Fight on Fake
Ducats

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The
faces of the moguls of Madison
Square Garden and of the
members of the New York State
Athletic Commission were
plenty red today-and it wasn't
on account of the heat. They
had just learned that more
than 100 chiselers saw the
Baer-Carnera h heavyweight
championship fight on fake
tickets. And to make it worse,
the bogus pasteboards called
for $25 seats.
The phoney tickets were cut
out of a trick advertising cir
cular, but how they ever passed
for the genuine article remains
a mystery. The fact that all
were presented at one gate was
believed to hold the solution.
The usual investigation is
under way.

GAS PRICE BOOSTED
BY INDEPENDENTS
Follow Major Companies in I'm
posing Increased of Half
Cent a Gallon.

Independent dealers followed the
lead of the major companies yester-
day and increased the price of gaso-
line in Washington half a cent a
gallon.
The general prices now are 1863
cents for regular gas. 1873 cents for
high test gas. 1873 cents for the inde-
pendents' third-grade or white gas.
and 1913 cents for benzol-blended gas.
The recent agreement of the big
companies not to sell white gas for
a 3O-day period is believed responsible
for the action of the independents in
following the price boost.
Scattered cut-rate independents
we're reported selling white gas today
at 1913 cents. Dealers who raised
their prices to the general level said
this was in violation of an agree
ment not to sell gas at less thar .
cent under the major company price
for regular gas.

CASHIER BEATS OFF
THREE ASSAILANTS
Gary Neville Saves Tea Room
Receipts From Would-Be
Robbers.

An attempt to rob Gary Neville,
cashier of the Wood Shed Tea Room,
1912 H street. was frustrated early
today when he resisted three as
sailants.
Neville had just left the tea room
with S88 in bag and was going to
the nearby home of his employer,
Mrs. Cassie H. Wood. to leave the
money there.
A masked man sprang out from the
shadow of a building and seized his
coat and two others closed in on him.
Instead of surrendering his cash
Neville struck one of the men and
shouted loudly for help. The hold
up men fled. His cries were heard by
Mrs. Wood, who telephoned police.
Robbers were more successful with
Ola Nelson, taxicab driver, of 913 w
street, who was beaten and robbed of
his cab and $1.55 by two men.
The robbers hailed Nelson's cab at
Thirteenth and N streets and when
they reached an alley near Rhode
Island avenue and Tenth street one
of them drew pistol, forced Nelson
to get out and then enter a vacant
house. While he was in the house
the men searched his pockets and
then hit him on the head with the
pistol. They escaped in his cab.

RECAPTURED JAIL
BREAKER ESCAPES
Man Who Fled D. C. Lookup
Several Weeks Ago Leaves
Precinct Station.

James Harley, %, colored, recap
tured after a sensational escape from
the District Jail several weeks ago,
made another getaway today-this
time by breaking out of his cell in
the twelfth precinct police station
while the turnkey was purchasing a
package of chewing gum for him.
The escape, police said, was the
fifth one that Harley has made. He
evidently gained his freedom this
time, they said, by pulling out a
plumbing fixture in his cell, crawling
through the opening behind it and
climbing to the top Of the cell block.
There, it is thought, he lay in wait
ing until the turnkey returned and
then sneaked out the unlocked door
Harley had fled the jail by climb
ing through a ventllator and lowering
himself from the roof on rope made
by knotting several sheets together
He fled amid hail of bullets from
the pistols of two guards.
Recaptured in Philadelphia, Harley
was brought back here Thursday
and, at the request of police, locked
up at the twelfth precint station
They did not want him returned to
the Jail Immediately, they said, be-
cause they wished to investigate his
alleged part in several hold-ups re-
ported soon after his getaway.
Harley made his first escape from a
Jail van while being tried He also
escaped from the District Work House
at Occoquan. Va, but was recaptured
in Charles County. Md, and then
broke out of Jail there.

Dr.. J. E. Pope Deplores Filibuster
Against 0ld-Age Benefit
Measure.

Opposition of Representative Blan-
ton, Democrat, of Texas. to the Dis
trict's old age pension bill was con-
demned today by DR.. j. E. Pope,
president of the National Old Age
Pension Association.
''It is with regret" DR.. Pope wrote
Blanton, II see your opposition to
the District old age pension bill, I
am not raising the question OF your
sincerity, but I do question the Wis
dom and justice Of your flibustering
tactics against this proposed measure
of love and mercy"
DR.. Pope also declared that oppos-
ing old age pensions for the District
"is an overt move against the u.ti-
mate realization of Nationwide old
age pensions, and We are forced to
condemn your action in this.
''I feel that if old age pensions are
given to the District it will be a step
In the right direction, a gesture leac-
ing toward achievement of the higher,
more universal goal of Nationwide
pensions"

Detroit.

Establishment of a sanatorium for
members of the order requiring long
capitalization has been recommended
by the State Convention of the

vention to be held in Detroit in

such services. This proposition had
been discussed at previous conven-
tions, but no definite steps had been
taken until the convention this week.

ing year as follows: Msgr. Eugene j
Connolly, State chaplain; Mr.. Herring
State deputy; Edward L. Tucker, State
secretary; Manning j. Willcoxen, State
treasurer; John R. Dowlan, State ad-
vocate; William A. Mulligan, State
warden.

report expressed satisfaction on the
progress of the order during his first
term notwithstanding the depression

indorsing and pledging wholehearted
cooperation in participation in the
Tercentenary exercises in honor Of
the 3O0th anniversary of the found
ing of the colony of Maryland to be
held in Baltimore May 80. A large
number from Washington will attend
