Central, Roosevelt and western
were figured to offer the sort of
trouble that would keep activities
in a steady turmoil.
Excitement Absent
So far nothing exciting has
happened. Eastern has defeated
Central and Western, but not in
a manner that has offered i'm
pressiveness at all. Tech has de.
feated Roosevelt, but not like the
dangerous contender rated, while
Central, Roosevelt and Western
have merely been fair" in their
games.
This unexpected mildness is
certain to change soon. Friday
may be the day, for Tech is sched-
uled against Western and East
ern against Roosevelt. If the fire
works fail to materialize then,
they'll sure to break out shortly
after that or else scholastic fans
will be left with an unintereStlng
series on their hands-somethlng
seldom known of a basketball
race among the school teams.
Yesterday, Eastern stacked up
against a we'll balanced, but in
experienced Western five. The
Lincoln Parkers triumphed, 81 to
"a, but not before looking unim,
pressive as against Central last
week. Central defeated Roose-
velt in the other game. 40 to Is
Dean Stars
Levelle cDopeyD Dean was
again Eastern's star in his team
game against Western. The lanky
guard accounted for IL points,
five of which were baskets from
the height of the Scrimmage.
Bob Dodderidge looked like a
real conner for Western. This lad
kept the Georgetowners close dur
ing the first part of the contest,
and on the whole, led Westerns
scoring with nine points. Also
it was Dodderidge who was the
leader in Westerns momentary
brilliance in the first half wnen
Eastern was tied, IL to IL.
Bill Vermillion, Jack Munhall
and Charlie Nau were the big
stars for Central in the Mt. Pleas
anters' victory over Roosevelt.
The first named pair carried the
team by their long distance and
at times brilliant shooting in the
first half. while it was Nau who
put the finishing touches on Cen
trails performance after the in
termission. Vermillion accounted
for 10 points, Munhall 13 and Nau
Il. Capt. Dave Donovan and
Spero Kolius were Roosevelt's S
best players with nine and eight
points respectively.

Anyway, prosperity has again
hit the Guards basketball team.
Company F is represented by an
other formidable quintet-o n e
that should win the majority of
its games this season.
Chase, Vincent and Cohan, who
starred for basketball teams at
University of Maryland, are back
with the Guardsmen and flash
Ing their prowess as OF yore.
They are sinking points with
regularity and passing the oval
with uncanny accuracy. Vincent
is a dead shot under the basket,
while Spencer can pot 'em from
any angle.
The Guards hold undiSputed
possession of the top rung in the
Prince Georges County League
today as a result of their smash
ing SO to % victory over the
clever Mt. Rainier Grays Monday
night.
AS usual, Chase and Vincent
were the big guns of Company
F'S attack. Each sent IL points
through the hoops.

stars several years ago. was killed

Fresh from a 1924 victory over
the Catholic University Freshman

floor representatives will stack up
against Gallaudet Friday at the
Silents' gym at $50 o'clock.
The Lawyers played heads-up
ball to exc out their victory over
the C. U. frosh, and expect to pull
a surprise against Gallaudet.
Carl Friend, CAL Buckles and
Francis Faucet make up the scor-
ing threats of the barristers. Alb

game with eight points.

League Head Silent
On Braves Going
To Montreal

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Ford
Frick, newly elected president
of the National League, who is
confronted by one of the major
problems of modern baseball
that of finding a home field for
the Boston Braves-today had
no comment to make on the re-
port that a Montreal syndicate
was ready to buy the Braves.
"I've been flooded with teIe-
phone calls and queries" said
Frick, "but / do not care to
comment on the question until
after the league meeting Fri
day. I have given the same an
swer to all the queries"
The Washington times., 1935-01-16

Just how the chefs who make our alphabet
soup will handle this problem is difficult
to guess. But it is safe to say that Connie
never will get to first base with his idea.
Regardless Of Mack or anyone else, the
good ball players will be paid more or less
in proportion to their worth to the team.
The public, and not the club owners, will set
the value of ball players Regardless of
regimentation, codes or other restrictive
measures framed by owners, B a be Ruth
would be the major general of the game and
would receive the highest salary.

ings tell the
story that East
ern is the lead
ing team with
two victories in
as many games,
Tech is second
with one win in
one appearance,
and Central is
third with a
victory and a
loss besides its
name.
The situation

cause the closest

There are great possibilities IN
the plan with regard to trading
ball players. Instead Of an
owner going around trying to
peddle an infielder or an out
fielder, he could walk through
the lobby of the hotel housing
the meeting, crying that he had
two corporals to give for ore
first sergeant. Or perhaps he
would give one battalion SER
geant major for a corporal, two
lance corporals and a buck pri-
vate.
Owners Might Object
OF course, there would be GER
tain difficulties in the plan.
The owner would object to a
committee classifying their ball
players. They would object to
having a team of rare rank bucks
when another club had an out
fit of sergeants. If the grading
were made public, it might
cause an outburst of opinion.
If the grading were too low,
the public might stay away, and
if it were high, the ball players
would demand salaries befitting
their rank and dignity, if any.
It's a headache for the owners,
any way it's figured.
The utter impossibility Of
Mack's plan is stressed by the
failure of the club owners to
make deals at the winter meet
ings. When you stop and recall
that the Yankees asked $4,000
for Sammy Byrd, later released
on waivers, you get fair idea
of the chance of ever reaching
accord among the owners on the
value of their star players.
Full Until Friday
Ais quiet on the baseball
front-at least until Friday aft
ernoon when the National
League owners will meet to dis
cuss the situation precipitated
by the cancellation of the lease
on Braves Field, occupied since
1914 by the Boston National
League Baseball Company.
Perhaps it had been better to
say all's quiet on the surface
along baseball's Western front.
Doubtless there is feverish acti-
witty under the surface as the
club owners endeavor to straight
en- out the mess. The National
League faces it's most serious
problem since the Federal League
capitulated back in 1915.
This is not just a question
of one club bucking around like
colt on frosty morning. The
Braves have no home. Condi-
tional upon any member of the
Boston National League Base
ball Company being openly af-
filiated with the Boston Kennel
Club, which received a license to
race greyhounds from the Mas
sachusetts State Racing Com
mission, the Red SoX will not
permit the Braves to share Fen
way Park. In fact, Tom YaW-
key shows little inclination to
let them in, dog racing or no
dog racing.
Yawkey Is Away
Tom Yawkey could not be
reached by long distance tele-
phone yesterday nor this morn
ing. He had gone away, they
said in New York, so there's no
way of telling right now what
conferences he has held, either
direct or by telephone.

Ex-KIan Leader Is Cheered

States Plea.
Tim es Special

Times Special
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Nov g.
D. c. Stephenson, former khan
leader. serving a life sentence for
murder in the state prison here, to-
day was buoyed by the first major
court victory that has come to him
in his 10-year fight for freedom.
Several legal hurdles still stand IN
his path, but the action of Judge
Writ Worden in La Porte Circuit
Court yesterday in denying the
states motion to quash his petition
for a writ of habeas corpus is viewed
by Stephenson as a good omen.
Judge Worden ordered the STATE
to file an answer to Stephensoa's
petition by Nov. Is. Unexpectedly
called to the courtroom, the famous
prisoner was jubilant over the rll-
ing but declined to comment.
Other Proceedings Failed
Nearly score of other legal pro-
ceedings taken since he was con-
victed in the spring of 1925 in the
Staying of Miss Madge Oberholtzer,
indianapolis, had failed.
States motion to quash in the
present proceedings had been based
on the contention that all questions
in Stephenson's petition, challeng-
ing validity of transferring his trial
from Marion County, had been ruled
on by high state courts.
Judge Worden held it was not
question of constitutionality of the
change of venue law but rather
question of constitutionality of the
processes through which Stephenson
had been convicted.
Further Hearings Necessary
The ruling opens the way for fur
ther hearings at which Stephenson
is expected to elaborate on charges
he was the victim of a conspiracy
among Republican and khan leaders
and others prominent a decade ago
in Indiana politics.
Stephenson was represented al
yesterdays hearing by Mayor Alban
M. Smith of La Porte and T. Ernest

sented the state.

producing the largest number of
cans for single product.
Ideal weather conditions plus a
growing consumption of canned
pineapple juice by Americans prom
ises to make 1885 a banner year for
the pineapple industry, Hawaiia's
second largest industry.
If all the cans for this years
crop were placed side by side they
would cover a distance of 1894
miles. The average width of the
can tops is four inches.
