P|N|NEN ARGUE
OVERFOUL

Have you ever noticed Joe
Pricci's left foot go over the
foul line in bowling?
Most persons haven't but the
foul man in the big match last
night between King Pin, winner
of the District League title, and
Lucky Strike BARRIERS, pennant
winners in the National Capital
League, saw fit to call it on tht
BARRIERS anchorman as he made
a spare in the last box of the last
game in which his team rolled
685 Gf he didn't fouD or 683 if
he fouled) to 658 for the King
Primers. If he fouled his team
lost by two pins, if not, it won
by one pin.
While not trying to cast any
aspersions on the foul-line men,
followers of the BARRIERS say he
is one of the Staunchest-rooters
the King Primers have. The Judge
in question admitted he didn't
call a number of other fouls
earlier in the match which would
tend to disqualify him.
Several men at the match, who
had no interest in either team,
said they were positive Pricci did
not foul. The foul was not called
as he went over the line but after
he made the spare, onlookers
claim.
Whether the teams will get to-
gether again is problematical. No
hard feelings between the teams
was noticed however, but all bets
were called off.

BY DAN GILL

They're expecting big things
from their tennis team at Central
High School although they won't
come out and say so.
The schools preseason record
points to a most successful cam
paign, and Bert Coggins, director
Of athletics and tennis tutor, is
not the sort of person to go back
on the figures.
Three in Row
He is in favor of the team
making a good showing and will
even go so far as to say he
wouldn't be surprised if the boys
gave a good account of them
selves. If the future is at all
like the past, the Blue and White
netmen are going to have a ban
ner year for they have taken
Episcopal, Loyola and George
Washington University freshmen
in order.
At present the Centralites are
tied with Tech, with a doubles
match still to be played. Tech
has won three of the singles and
Central two, with the latter also
taking one Of the doubles. 1t prob
ably will not be played until next
week as North Carolina Freshmen
are to be met Thursday and
Western Maryland Friday, with
Loyola playing a return match
Saturday.
Ye0manS No. Man
Morris Rosenberg, who won the
school tournament, is in school
but not on the team as he works
after school, but the school is
blessed with other good players.
Yeomans, a name which has
long been associated with Central
High Schools tennis teams, is
again found in the lineup. This
time it is John YeomanS who is
cutting a swath in scholastic net
circles.
Coggins has named him No. /
man. Sam Root is assigned the
next position, with AL Ritzenberg,
No. 3. robin" Adair is fouth,
while "Buck" Surine and Bill
Brown are next in favor.

ILLNESS FORCES
HALEY To QUIT
DUCKP|N CAME

Robert Lowry, formerly a floor
manager at the Recreation Bowl.
ing Alleys, has been appointed
manager to succeed Harry Blair
Pop" HALEY, who resigned be-
cause of poor health.
Harry Dawson will take over
Lowry's duties on the first floor.
Lowry has been connected with
bowling since 1924, when he
worked at the Coliseum. He later
went to the Grand Central and
transferred to Recreation early
this season.
Pop" HALEY, one of the best
loved men in the bowling game,
is 81, and became associated with
alley management as far back as
1918, when he succeeded Frank
Sherman as president of the
Royal amusement enterprise,
which included the Sherman
Alleys, located on the site of the
present Times-Herald Building.
In fact, Pop" sold the building
to William Randolph Hearst in
1923.
HALEY was one of the chief
organizers of the Washington
City Duckpin Association, and
served as president in 1914. He
was captain of the Royals and
the Washington All-Stars, and is
considered one of the greatest
bowlers ever to grace the local
drives.

MS own To-Day.
They involved his catching
staff, which had Moe Berg still
on the Sidelines because of his
injured leg, Luke Sewell, at
Georgetown Hospital, undergoing
an operation on his finger, and
Eddie Phillips, due to arrive here
tomorrow to substitute until the
return of either Berg or Sewell.
The latter could be said to have
his work really cut out for him,
as Berg is expected to be inactive
for at least another week, while it
is feared the operation on Sewell's s
finger will keep him from per
forming for perhaps a month.
Substituted for Dickey
But Phillips is the type of
catcher who can jump into an
emergency at a moments notice,
as the record books of two years
ago will prove. At that time,
Eddie was called upon to substi-
tute for Bill Dickey while that
veteran served a 3O-day suspen-
sion period as a result of his
run-in with Carl Reynolds.
And fill the bill, Phillips did.
He caught every game the
Yankees played without Dickey
and caught them we'll, holding
up his end at bat, while hand
ling the Gotham hurlers in great
style. In all, he was quite a
handy man for the Mccarthy
men and it was with plenty Of
reservations that they let him
drift back to the minors on
Dickey's return.
Goes In Tomorrow
Manager Cronin stated today
that Phillips will be inserted into
the game Immediately following
his arrival tomorrow. He will be
known as the Griffs' first string
catcher and will be kept in this
capacity until the return of Berg
and Sewell, despite the fact that
the promising Elmer Klumpp is
around.
SeweIl, incidentally, was sent
to the hospital today because it
was only yesterday that he found
out he had been nursing a dislo-
Gated index finger all this time
He and club officials realize it'll
take at least three weeks for the
digit 70 heal properly. On this
subject, President Clark Griffith
had this to say today:
'T'd rather know that Luke
will he well in about three
weeks than have had to string
along without him indefinitely.
such as would have been the
case had we not learned that
his finger was dislOcated. It's
too bad that all of this had to
happen, but it's part of the
game"

The members, who wanted what
they termed more vigorous" leader
ship, contended that Smell did not
bear down hard enough on the New
Deal" Their movement came to an
end when, in the present campaign,
some of them indicated they them
selves favored certain portions of the
recovery program.
Smell took the position that Repub-
licans should support measures they
considered good for the country and
oppose those they felt were unsound
Critical colleagues said the G. o. P.
should make a blanket stand against
all New Deal proposals.
Smell was nominated for Speaker in
the Seventy-second Congress by the
Republicans after a stiff battle in
party caucus with John @. Tilson Of
Connecticut then G. o. P. leader.
When the Democrats elected John N.
Garner Speaker, Smell automatically
became minority leader. He was re-
nominated, without opposition, for
Speaker in the Seventy third Congress
and retained his leadership when the
late Henry T. Rainey was elected
Speaker by the huge Democratic ma
Iority.

PASTORS ASSA|[
UNCLEAN MOVIES
Public Urged to Stay Away
From Films With Low
Standards.

Hollywood film producers yesterday
were assailed in several Washington
churches by ministers who claimed
that the present situation in the mo-
ton picture industry "is q menace
to the family life and against the ideal
that the church, home and schools are
teaching" Because "conscienceless
movie magnates are working demoral-
ization at home and defamation
abroad" the public was urged to stay
away from unclean pictures because
box Office receipts are the only effec-
tive means of curbing indecent films.
DR.. w. L. Darby, executive secre-
tary of the Washington Federation
of Churches, speaking at the Ninth
Street Christian Church, declared
that the majority of pictures pro-
duced today portrayed low standard
of ethics.
According to Dr. Grove G. johnson,
National Baptist Memorial Church,
almost 80 per cent of the present
movies contain something unclean or
unwholesome. He declared that rs
per cent contain liquor situations and
that in lis pictures, 406 crimes were
portrayed.
The necessity Of pictures was COM
pared with the value of food and
water by Rev. Allen A. Stockdale, pas
tor of the First Congregational
Church, who said, but like food and
water, these pictures must be clean"
Rev. Ignatius Smith, at the Church
of the Immaculate Conception, de-
clared that the movie industry granted
false liberty to love, not acceptable to
the churches. He also declared that
newspapers are not free from criti-
cism because the majority play to ex-
cess the murder and crime cases, in
stead of condemning them for what
they actually are.

Radio) Tractor No. l with a crew
of four was back at little America to-
day after a pioneer journey eastward
to the Edsel Ford Range, reporting
discovery of an extensive ice-ridden
plateau extending far to the South.
Under Chief Aviation Pilot Harold
I. June, the party set forth September
~ to penetrate the wastes of a sec
ton of Marie Byrd Land, discovered
by Admiral Byrd in 1929 and claimed
for the United States.
The newly discovered plateau rolls
between the Rockefeller Mountains
and King Edward VII Land and the
Edsel Ford Range.
Byrd Plans Flight.
New ground control points for map
ping we're fixed by the expedition.
These were expected to shift at least
two of the Southern peaks of the
Edsel Ford Range approximately 81
miles west of their previously esti-
mated position.
Admiral Byrd had long conference
with June and others of the expedi-
ton and the first major flight of the
season probably will be launched into
the new sector shortly.
June said they ran into hurricane
with the velocity of 80 miles an hour.
The tractor clocked 457.I miles with
out trouble.
New Operations Launched.
The return of tractor No. was the
high point Of busy week. Tuesday
Admiral Byrd launched the major
southern operations with simultaneous
departures of the geological party and
the plateau party, both to be in the
field 80 days.
The geological party is composed of
Quin A. Blackburn of Seattle, Wash:
Stuard D. Paine of Durham, N. H.,
and Richard Russell Of North Andover,
Mass. This group will make de-
tailed examination of Queen Maud
Range, AIS miles south.
The plateau party is composed of
