INHUMAN TORTURE
OF YOUNG GIRL is
Barred IN VIENNA
Middle-Aged Woman and
Two Men Held in Strange
Criminal Case.

Vienna, Australia middleaged
wife and two men await trial in
one of Austria's most sensational
criminal cases.
The defendants, Mary Gruberth,
thirty-siX, Adolf Ole, twenty-three,
locksmith, and Johann SchlOegl-
bauer, twenty-siX, itinerant worker,
are accused of kidnapping and tor
turing pretty eighteen-year-Old Err
nestine Podlipnik. Details of the
crime with which they are charged
would rival the imagination of Ed
gar Wallace or a Poe.
Police believe that Ole planned
the crime. They suspect that he
also contemplated poisoning Mary
Gruberth and her husband, John, to
obtain possession of their villa near
MOedling.
Married Life Unhappy.
The Gruberths, parents of two
children, did not lead happy mar.
ried life. In recent months Cru
berth rarely entered his home,
which he previously had turned
over to his wife. Mrs. Gruberth is
said to have consoled herself by
close friendship with Ole, who
lived at the house. Police say she
signed over the house to Ole even
if her relations with him should
cease before her death.
Gruberth, while planning to di
vorce his wife, met Miss POdlipnik
in a Vienna moving picture house.
He promised to marry her. Police
believe his intentions became
known 20 his wife and Ole, and
they charge that the latter suggest
ed to Mrs. Gruberth a devilish
scheme for revenge.
Investigators learned that Ole
and Schloeglbauer bought mems
clothing for Mrs. Gruberth as the
first step in wreaking vengeance on
the young girl. Late one night the
three drove to Ernestine's home
The two men, police charge,
knocked on the girls window and
told her that her brother John, who
was seriously i'll, demanded imme-
diate attention.
Girl Enters Trap.
The girl, unsuspecting, entered a
motor car where she was searched
by the two men and Mrs. Gruberth.
1t was charged that the woman
.brutally tore a diamond ring from
the girls finger. 1t was a present
to ErneStine from Gruberth.
Then, in recOnstructing events
that occurred, Investigators say the
girl was driven to Mrs. Gruberth's
villa near Moedling, where prepa-
rations had been made for holding
her prisoner. Servants had been
dismissed to eliminate unwanted
witnesses to the abduction, police
say.
The girl was kept prisoner in the
villa. She charged that she was
forced to take part in orgies; that
her picture was taken in comprO-
missing positions, and that she was
forced to send these with a letter
to Gruberth saying she had been
untrue to him and did. not want to
marry him.
Ernestine charged other tortures.
She told police Mrs. Gruberth had
her stripped and then poured hot
and cold water on her body.

Hole-in-One Hero Adds
Grand Slam to Feats

Atlanta, Ga. Two years ago
Stanley Hastings saw his tee shot
drop on the green, dribble slowly
toward the cup and then plunk in
for his first hole in one.
Until a few weeks ago he thought
life had no other thrills for him.
But he was mistaken.
He was playing bridge at the
home of friend. After the cards
were dealt Hastings blinked three
times before realizing he held 13
spades. The grand slam bid was
doubled and redoubled and he made
1890 points.

"Those who deplore the fact
that everything worthwhile al.

brightest minds soon will go stale,
should take heart from the reve-

the R. c. A. Radiotron Division.
This is particularly true of
radio, generally regarded as our

quick succession, and yet behind
the scenes men with vision long
ago foresaw the need for them and
set about providing the remedy.
"Just now some Of our deepest

According to Mr.. McGettreck,

eight radio manufacturers who
have adopted metal tubes would
have welcomed this achievement
at an earlier date, and paid for
the privilege, according to Mr.
McGettrick.
At last, with the invention Of a
new metal alloy and new welding
processes, and ceaSeleSs, painStak-

metal radio tube emerges as a

N f TAI TUBES
SHIELDED

Perfect shielding and very short
lead wires are said to permit all
metal radio tubes to give def
nitely improved reception on
short waves.
Metal tubes are self-Shielded.
No shield cans are necessary be-
cause the extremely close-fitting
outer shell provides shielding
which is said to be almost ideal.
This metal shell is positively
grounded by means of base pin.
Due to the pinch seal" neceS-
Sary to glass-tube construction,
the lead wires ii. e., the wires
from the elements in the tube
down through the base to the
pins) in glass types are quite
long. In the new metal tubes the
elements are set close to the
metal header" or bottom disc,
which fits over the composition
base. The lead wires are reduced
by from two.thirds to three-quar-
tiers in length-an important ad-
vantage in r.f amplifier types.

MAGIC BRAIN
METAL TUBE
Evolution Natural as
SuPerheterodyl1e
Or AC Set

The new RCA Victor Magic
Brain" radios are improved mate
rally this year by the inclusion
Of metal tubes. both in the Magic
Brain unit itself and in the rest
Of the radio chassis. The radio
trade and particularly the public
are enthusiastic over the quality
of short wave reception which
this combination Of technical
achievement has made possible,
said William E. O'Connor, presi-
dent of Southern Wholesalers,
Inc, local RCA Victor distributors.
The metal tube is a logical
step in the development of vacu-
um tubes for radio receivers" says
Mr.. O'Connor. Its development
was as natural an evolution as
the evolution of the superhetero-
dyne, the AC set and the powered
dynamic loudspeaker.
Okayed New Tubes
1T is fitting that RCA engineers,
who designed the laSt-named great
improvement, should also be
among the first to o. k and
employ the 'Sealed-in-Steer radio
tubes, once it was perfected.
The Magic Brain unit, which
proved such a valuable attribute
to radio reception last year. was
this year insisted upon by con-
SumerS and dealers alike. and
RCA Victor has improved the
unit throughout. Moreover, the
Magic Eye answers a long-felt
need for an instrument to assure
precise, sharp tuning. Too many
listeners before now have had to
be satisfied with reception of in
ferior quality, merely because Of
inaccurate tuning.
But it is the. inclusion Of metal
tubes which I believe makes RCA
Victor sets definitely an epoch
making advance over receivers
utilizing glass tubes.
Not Really Modern
Further. it is my opinion that
q radio is not really modern if
it is not equipped with metal
tubes, any more than an automo-
bile is really modern if it does
not have four-wheel brakes and a
silent transmission. Judging from
the reaction of the public, this
Is also the opinion Of thousands" "
RCA Victor engineers have
pointed out that the quality OF
the tubes are responsible for the
quality of the radio. Just as no
radio is better than its poorest
tube, so no radio is more modern
than the equipment it uses.

Adams Admits Sale of BOs-
ton Club May Material
ize Next Week

Boston, Aug. 3-(UP)-George
Pr 8 t o n Marshall, Washington
laundry owner and president of the
Boston Redskins professional foot
ball team, has begun negotiations
with owner Charles Adams for the
purchase of the Boston Braves,
waif of the National baseball
league.
Marshall announced through
secretary last night that he with
unnamed associates have made
bona fide offer for control of the
Boston Braves" He said he
would like very much to be asso-
ciated with Mr.. C. F. Adams and
hisgroup in the promotion of base
ball in Boston"
Wants a Piece
It was reported that though
Adams was ready to sell a con-
trolling interest in the team to the
Washington man, he would still re-
tain a minority holding.
Earlier in the day, following a
conference with Ford Frick, pres
ident of the National league, and
Leo Bondy, league counsel, Adams
said he had a every tangible"
proposition which he hoped to hear
definitely from the first OF the
week.
Adams said the offer was Every
satisfactory in principle"
Manager Bill McKechnie was
called to yesterdays conference
and emerged at lunch time as gen.
eral manager of the team as we'll
as field manager. He Immediate
ly left for New York to rejoin the
team.
Adams clearly outlined his po-
sition in a joint statement by him
and Frick after their seven-hour
conference yesterday.
Faith in Fans
while We realize that 1t Is diff
ficult to step out and imm ediately
strengthen a ball club, we do want
the fans Of Boston to know that
efforts are now being made to i'm
prove the club, both as to playing
strength and morale.
s'The Braves shall be operated
as usual and full schedules shall
be carried through. There Is no
question either as to the clubs SOL
vency or its ability to operate.
There is no tendency on the part
OF either Mr.. Adams or the league
to dispose Of the club at any cut
rate or to sanction a sale at any,
thing less than a reasonable and
fair value

Ralph Santopietro's North End
Hillies will encounter the hard

the Hillies are unbeaten but will
encounter stiff foe in the out

as Romeo, Carriero, Rinaldi and
Pugliese the North enders present
a formidable ball club for any
team to stack up against. With
any sort of luck the Hamiltons
might surprise their rivals. Dunn

The feature game between the
Wilson's and Waterbury A. C. being

Both teams are undefeated and

Chicago, Aug. 3-(U.P.)-A fore
cast of all the major three-year-old
stakes for 1896, including the Ken

dust Of Arlington Park track to-day
when a red-hot field Of juveniles
goes to the post in the $4,000 flu
turity.
Overnight the neId numbered
eighteen of the county's outstand-

three fillies-and all of them are
expected to answer the call to
arms. If they do the futurity kitty
will be $60,230, with the winner
pulling down $49,230. Second place
will be good for $4,000, and third
for $4,000.
Who'll win it? Here's the field,
and you may take your pick, know

for the way of two-year-olds, like

Nedrow, Grand Slam, Valedictorian
Night Play, Bold Venture, Bright

list.
Half of the horses named are

the difficulty of naming favorite.

were Sun Teddy and Tintagel at
to 1.
Following them, and at odds of
about 10 to 1, were the three chief
eastern challengers, White Cockade
Delphiniums and Shark.
All of these have sound wins to
their credit. Coldstream captured
the Arlington, Hyde Park and the
Bashford Manor stakes. Deliberator
was first home in the Nursery
Stakes and Hialeah, while Forever
Yours galloped in first in the Ar
lington Lassie. White Cockade ran
his rivals in the youthful at jana
lea into the ground, and Shark
took first money in the Great
Americana at Aqueduct.
Weights are well distributed. All
of the top flight colts will pack 122
pounds with the exception of Sun
Teddy. who'll shoulder only lit.
The fiillies will pick up ia.

GOLF
BY BILL KLISH

Fear is the cause of the
ruinous habit of steering a
shot. Nothing Is more certain
to swing the ball Off line than
q too determined effort to
guide q ball straight. The
same results occur when the
player Us in two minds about
what club to use or how hard
to hit the ball. The feeling
of uncertainty often causes
the player to hit the shot
half-heartedly or to try at the
last instant to put in q little
extra power which he feels
he needs.
When there is any doubt
about the shot to play 1t is
my idea that the best plan is
to select a less-powerful club
and play a full shot. In play
ing various matches I myself
have gained a little expert
ence along that line.
