BOYS CONFESS
HOLDUP AND
Staying

NEW YORK, June II GN.SO.
Formal homicide charges will be
lodged against the three Queens
boys, two of them aged Is, and
the other aged II, who shot and
killed a man in an attempted
hold-up Saturday night.
This was announced here early
today by District Attorney Will
liam O'Hare.
Meanwhile, the boys, Frank
Demato, 10; his 11-year-old
brother, Julius, and Lisbon Law
renee, 10, a Negro, are being held
without bail pending their ar
raignment some time today in
Jamaica court.
Steal Police Gun
On Saturday, after having
earned $1.05 shining shoes in ia
maica, the trio decided to embark
upon a career of crime. They Wis
tied the headquarters of the mo-
torcycle squad of the police de-
partment in town hall, Jamaica,
and while Lisbon engaged the
lone policeman on duty, Louis
Churchwall, in conversation,
Frank Demato climbed in a win
dow. and stole .38 calibre revol-
yer from the officers coat hang
ing on the wall.
They then proceeded to spend
their $1.05 on candy and dough,
nuts.
A short time later they found
q man lying drunk in vacant
lot. They woke him out of a
stupor by prodding him with
their feet and demanding his
money. When he wouldn't get
up, young Demato placed the
weapon within three or four
inches Of the mans forehead.
then pulled the trigger. The man
collapsed and the boys fled. The
victim was William Walsh, So, a
vagrant, with :. police record dat
ing back to 1915.
Tried A Trick
The boys then went to police
headquarters and told detectives
they had been held up and
robbed by two older boys.
Two detectives accompanied
them to the supposed scene of the
holdup. The boys pointed to the
spot where the imaginary thugs
had tossed their gun and one of
them declared:
81 see the gun now"
He ran and got it. the boys
having hidden it there just be-
fore going to the police station.
Churchill recognized the gun.

Organized In Washington
The American Racing Pigeon
Union was organized right here in
Washington on November 10, 1910.
at the Fritz Reuter- Hotel, now
dismantled.
Two WashingtonianS (Still very
active in the game) were prom
inent figures in it's formation,
Capt. David c. Buscall, United
States Marines, retired, and Will
liam F. Dismer. Dismer became
it's first secretary-treasurer and
Buscall (now its honorary presi'
dent) was its first recording Sec
rotary. Kenneth B. McMickin,
Rochester, N. Y, was the first
president.
Since then Dismer and Buscall
at one time or another have held
every office in the organization.
A third WaShingtonian, Harry c.
Burke, held down the first vice
presidency in 1933-34.
Currently Buscall is chairman
of the public relations committee
and Dismer and Burke are on his
committee.
The A. R. P. U. came into ex-
iStence through dissatisfaction
with the prize.distributing meth
DDS of other organizations.
That sealed velocity was a pop
ular idea is readily shown by the
increase in membership, sale of
bands and amount of prize money
distributed each year.
Nears 5000 Members
In 1911 it had 1888 members, to-
day it has 5,940, nearly twice as
many as its older rival, the Inter
national Federation. It's hackers
proudly point out that it will have
distributed over 100000 in prizes
since it's foundation at the Detroit
convention this year.
The A. R. P. U. is responsible
for the spread of pigeon racing
across the American continent to
the Pacific coast. OF several thou

And they had sufficient cause
because if ever race were thrill
ing then the second heat Of the
Class B cupboard PROFESSIONAL
was such a race. &
A person did not have to be
interested in sports to become ex-
cited over this race the way Bob
Meyer, of Evanston, ILL.,, and
Frank Vincent. of Tulsa, Okla,
scooted through the choppy wa
ter.
For the last two laps, two and
a half miles of the five-mile
drive, Meyers "Vitamin" and
Vincent's "0-44" were neck and
neck, or if they weren't persons
on the Coast Guard cutter
Apache couldn't notice it from
their vantage point.
AS they drew to about 10 feet
from the finish line, Vincent
somehow managed to get that
extra something and nosed his
boat across in front by the mar
rowest of margins.
In winning, his time was 6.493,
The Washington times., 1935-07-29

which bettered the 6.421 Of the
first heat in which the two men
reversed the order of their fin
ish. Both received TOO points for
first and second places in the
two heats, but Meyer was de-
clared winner on elapsed time.
Fred Jacoby, who won nine
events in the Shrine regatta last
month, could gather but 1874
points in this race, due to his
third place in the first heat ana
fourth in the second.
The 225-cubic-inch hydroplane
affair proved the uncertainty OF
sports. Experts conceded Dr.
Cecil Bagley, of the Wilmer In
stitute, Johns Hopkins, had a
great boat in his Wilmer Sd be-
cause it holds the world record in
this class for one mile, but few
were willing to bet it would beat
Andy Crawford'S "Ednandy 3D.
because the Washington boat had
won the regattas at Atlantic City,
the Virginia Gold Cup at Hamp-
ton, Va, and had established a
worlds record a week ago at
Havre de Grace.
Not only did Wilmer Sd win, 1t
won twice, taking the first heat
in 6.422 and the second in 1851.
DR.. Bagley won 800 points by
this while Crawford had to be
satisfied with 600.
Wins Free-fOr-All
AS if he had not done enough
damage in one day, DR.. Bagley
entered his boat in the "Free-for-
Alr' and crossed the line first
once more to win the Washing
ton Times trophy. Howard Hat
ner, of Severna Park, Md, brought
his "Howdy Sd" into second place.
Joel Thorne, "the peoples
choice" won the Class F outboard'
(open) by finishing third in the
first heat and first in the second
despite the fact he is not fully
recovered from injuries received
in an automobile race in Con-
necticut a few weeks ago. He
competed at Havre de Grace last
week against his doctors orders
and while he still had a tube in
his leg.
Saturday and Sunday the 20
year-old star drove great races
with a gauze drain still hamper
ing him. He likes both automo-
bile and boat racing, but consid-
ers the latter the safer.

All Not So Well

well along the line with the

ing up until the club took this
unaccounted-for squirt in New
York; have been approached as
to my views about Bucky Har-
riS trying to whip some life
into the club by appearing on
the coaching line.
Harris best friends tell me
he doesn't want to coach on
either baseline. However, his
best friends might remind him
that some pretty snappy base
ball is being adduced from
teams whose managers are
either players or habitual base
line coachers; who come out
before the public and permit
themselves to be seen in some
sort of action.

a lot of pep into only a fair
ball club by keeping himself
out there. Ditto Jimmy Dykes,

a bit Of harm for him to get

fornia, in the other. But these
now must be- mere exhibitions.
The Americans, by today's out
come, have been vanquiShed in a
manner seldom known to a game
in which once they dominated
the world.
More than that, their defeat in
the doubles seemed to put them
further back in their Davis Cup
challenges than at any time since
they relinquished the trophy in
1927. Not in five years had an
American doubles team accepted
defeat in either the inter-zone or
challenge round matches. Oddly,
the losers on that occasion were
the men who fell before the Brit
ish today, Allison and Van Ryn,
veteran combination now SEEM
ingly well past its prime.
Good Only in SpurtS
The Americans were good only
in spurts today. At other times,
they simply could muster no ade-
quate reply to the severe and
often violent hitting of the British,
the obscure Tuckey being the man
of the hour.
He completely dominated the
court throughout, his service being
hotly paced and his volleying so
severe that the Yankees fell back
before it, aghast. For a few brief
moments toward the close of the
third set, in which the Americans
made up a three-love deficit to
come on and win in deuce games,
Tuckey faltered momentarily.
Then he came on again with a
rush and, at the end, there was
no doubt as to who held the cen.
ter of the stage. Hughes, mean
time, was as steady as an old
rocking chair and made up for
his lack of brilliance by his pace
and strategy from the service line.
The sudden uprising Of the
Americans in the third set, fea-
tured by Van Ryn's volleying, was
topped off by the strange perform
ance of Allison in the fourteenth
and final game. He thrice double
faulted, yet, at the critical mo-
ment, he came through with two
binding, forehand aces down the
lines to take game and set.
The British began the fifth set
auspiciously by breaking Allison's
service and then winning the
second game through Tuckey'S
slnashes from the net, making the
score glove. That was enough.
The British, once in sight of
victory, never relented, keeping on
top of the score all the way by
means of the same combination of
Tuckey'S SmaSheS and drives and
Hughes subtlety and guile.
Lacking In Team Play
Whatever the cause, the Ameri-
cans were sadly lacking both in
team play and in the old-time
verve today. Once the finest of
all doubles teams, they seemed
like a pair of disorganized and
footless men in front of the Eng
lish, who were coached to a point
of perfection by their astute cap
tain, the former internationalist,
Roper.Barrett.
They specialized against ALI
son in the closing sets, the Amer
lean being weary from his ex-
haustive efforts Of the past week
here. He was brilliant in spots,
but generally cratic. Van Ryn
stood out conSpicuously at the
net, but the British conquered
with a lobbing game at intervals
in the last set, invariably driving
the Americans out Of position,
with the ubiquitous Tuckey al
ways in the leading role.
