WOMEN SNUB SPORTS STARS =
At Least They Show No Enthu-
siasm for Athlete HeadIiners

The sports department climbs
over to these pages today for a
yard of interesting type. Read
this letter from Buck" o'Neill.
Dear Andy:
I got a real thrill on Monday
night at the opening Of The Jay
hawker," which delighted color
full and smartly dressed Washing
ton audience, seeing those two
masters of the stage, Fred Stone
and Walter c. Kelly, carry a drs-
matte piece to success.
Mr.. Sinclair Lewis placed one
speech in the lines of Fred Stone
which impressed me so that 1 just
had to tell you about it. In the
last act of the piece Fred Stone,
as Ace Burdette, hurled defiance
to the press and shouted: I'm
not licked yeti"
I can think of no speech so
thoroughly typical of its maker
than that.
His Accident
If Fred Stone had been willing
to accept defeat he would be sit
ting in a wheel chair in his home
in Forest Hills, bemoaning the
fate that ever led him to take up
aviation. You know the story of
Fred'S crash in that plane some
years ago, Andy. He was a stu
dent aviator at Roosevelt Field a
few years ago. met him down
there while I was managing a
golf tournament for the Evening
Journal in New York. I made
several flights over the country
side with Lieut.. Bud Clark, then
stationed at Mitchell Field.
Well, one day Stone spun in" as
the bird men say. 1t was feared
he was all through. 1t seemed
too terrible to contemplate. The
stage without Fred Stone. He, the
brilliant dancer and comedian who
delighted us in Red Mill" and
many another Broadway smash
hit.
Fred said then what he said in
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-10-18

lagain, and where do you suppose
it was?
Down in the basement of Madi-
son Square Garden. The World
Series Rodeo was on, as it is now
for the benefit Of the Free Milk
for Babies Fund, of which Mrs.
William Randolph Hearst is chair
man. He was there with Chester
Byers, world champion trick and
fancy roper.
Learns to Twill
Fred was mastering the intrica-
cies of the double ocean roll, the
butterfly spin, and the fancy
double reverses that made Byers
the pride and despair of all rodeo
competitors. Fred had learned
the double roll and was able to
go into a spoke jump on the rope.
Yes, Stone, who spun in" out
Of the skies that fated day, was
on his feet once more, jumping
a rope.
Andy, you can't lick a guy who
can look death Squarely in the
eyes and say as Stone said:
I'm not licked yet"
And there's my old pal Walter
c. Kelly, the Virginia judge, now
playing the part of General
Philemon Smallwood. Walter
is lover of all sports. We
trouped together over the thrill
trail in baseball and boxing for

JIMMY STAIRS GOSSIP
Frank Buck Oe Tells About Fred Stone and His Old Pol "udqe Kelly

"a long time, and Kelly rings as
true as bell.
Kelly was an inseparable pal
of the late James j. Corbett.
They sat together in the last row
Of ring-side seats on the Forty
ninth Street side Of Madison
Square Garden at the big fights.
Jim never would get closer to the
ring, and Kelly never would sit
with anyone but Jim.
There they would argue fights
and fighters throughout the
night, and Kelly, a notorious
ribber, would lead Corbett into
many a trap. Corbett, as you
know, always belittled the punch
ing power of Bob Fitzsimmons;
said the knockout at Carson City
was a fluke.
Was COrbett'S Pal
Kelly would let Corbett go
right ahead until Jim would say:
"Fitzsimmons couldn't break a
paper bag, I tell you"
Then how did they find his
glove inside of your appendix
when they operated on you?"
Kelly would demand.
And that would terminate the
friendship for all of twenty
seconds.
So Andy, it's great to see these
two great artists of the stage to-
gether in a production that

The New York Theater Guild
hopes to open valley Forge
the new play about George WASH
ington, at the National Theater
on November 10.
Philip Merivale was signed yes
terday to play the patriot of Mt.
Vernon in Maxwell Anderson's
play. An Englishman as Ameri-
cas- first hero. A very fine actor
indeed as perhaps you recall him
in Mary of Scotland"
Merivale's gallery of stage por-
traits includes the Prince of
Wales, the DUO de Guise, the Earl
of Surrey, Hannibal, Brutus, Cas-
Sius and old boy Satan himself
in Death Takes Holiday"
The Guild made overtures to
Walter Hampden but that star
prefers his own repertaire COM
pany, which, by the way, comes
to Washington Thanksgiv G

Washington in the last play
about the Father of Our Country,
that written by Percy Mackaye.
Oddly enough the best play
about Abraham Lincoln was writ

Sidney Lust, Washington neigh
borhood movie king, will PROPOSE
ton Universal about reopening
the Rialto Theater. He has a
new war picture, Birth of a
New America" which he hopes
will make the town sit up. He
opened it in Frederick for a pre-
view and says that the D. A. R.
and the American Legion are
ready to whoop for his celluloid.
Meanwhile exhibitor Lust has a
young daughter. Geraldine, who
at IA is eager to express herself
on the stage. So today he will
take her down to Clifford Brooke's
drama school and enroll her for
a full course.
Rogers Humor
Ed Lowry slips me this one
about Will Rogers and the late
world series. Rogers was pestered
by an autograph hound. "All
right" he said, let's have your
book" But 1 haven't got book"
replied the signature saver.

a piece of paper or sumfin." Il

persistent one. Suppose you just
autograph the score card"
Lets see your pencil" the hui
morist said. I'm sorry I haven't

Fined For Violating
Cotton Garment Code

Camden, N. j. (ILNS)-Morvay &
Sons, Inc, Bridgeton, N. j., were
found guilty on 10 counts of violat-
ing the wage and hour provisions of
the cotton garment industry code by
Judge John Boyd Avis, here, and a
fine of $3.50 was imposed.
At the same time a bill of COM
plant was filed and a permanent in
junction entered against the defend
ant corporation enjoining any future
violations of the wage and hour pro-
visions of the code. The decree was
entered by consent of the defendant,
and it also provided that an audit OF

restitution of all back wages due en-

BOARD ORDERS
JOBS RETURNED

Washington, D .C.-The Comman-
der Mills, of Sand Springs, Okla, has
been ordered by the National Textile
Labor Relations Board to re-employ
G. A. Bartlett, president of the local
textile workers union, and Arthur
McCown, captain of union pickets in
the textile workers strike. The board
finds that the discharge of each
was without sufficient ground, and
manifestly because of their union
membership and union activities.
In conection with Bartlett's dis
charge, the board says: "It appears
from the evidence that the real reason
for his discharge was his union activ-
tiles. Relative to McCown, the board
says: "It appears that the reason
given by the company for failing to
re-employ McCown are insufficient
to justify his discharge and that the
real reason was his union activities
The mills are given until Decem
Der % to inform the board that its
order has been complied with.
