CHURCH FACES
LOSS Of NEW
BUILDING
Unable to Meet Mortgage
Of $4,000, Congregation
Strives to Save 1t

Members of the Western Pres
byterian Church are making what
they fear is a last ditch fight to
save their beautiful, almost new
edifice in the 1900 block Of H st.
N. w.
Unless they can raise $4,000
cash by February IA, the Specter
of a mortgage foreclosure may
take tangible form. In short,
there is a payment in interest and
principal in that amount due that
date of a debt of $130,000. The
mortgage holder has indicated 1t
will be-"pay or else"
Far From Goal
Today they were far from the
goal. The Rev. J. .Tarvey Dunham,
pastor of the church for Is years,
said:
"Thc response from the gem
eral public has been splendid.
But the money comes in a dol
lar and IS at time. The total
collected, in spite of the large
number of contributions, is a
very small part of the sum
needed
A big black and white sign has
been placed across the front of
the English Gothic edifice that
was built four years ago at a cost
of 100000. It appeals to all for
help, pointing out that $4,000
WaShingtonianS could give a dollar
each and stave off foreclosure.
The congregation of 500 is com
posed mainly of Government EN-.
ployeS and small business opera.
tors, Rev. Dunham said. He added :
eve are neither rich nor
poor"
A special campaign committee
headed by Mrs. Jessica Thies, $500
block Fourteenth st. N. W., is
conducting the fund drive. Mrs,
Thies is at the church from 10
a. m. to 10 p. m.
Many Give Help
One of her assistants. Mrs. w.
M. Weaver, 700 block Nineteenth
st. N. w.. said:
people of all denominations,
Catholic and Protestant, have
come to us with money. It's
gratifying to see how they want
to help u.s."
The Western Presbyterian Church
was born in the chapel meetings
held in Foggy Bottom as far back
as 184S. Until 1881 services were
held in the church building across
the street from the new one. The
old building is leased now to an.
other denomination.
The Rev. Mr.. Dunham haid:
"Our difficulty is caused by
the depressed condition of the
real estate market. We own a
church and manSe across the
street worth $50, 900, almost half
of what we still owe on the new
building. But we can find no
buyers. We have plenty of as.
SETS"
It was emphasized that the con
gregation does not face immediate
eviction in event the full $4,000 is
not paid by February IA, because
foreclosure action, if taken, would
involve more or less lengthy legal
procedude.

AIR LINE AIDE
|. MAY BUY FOOD
ON OUTSIDE
Former Commerce official Due
To Serve 10 Days for His
Contempt for Senate

There is a "very nice dormitory~
with a very nice iron cot'' wait
ing at the District Jail for former
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
William P. acCrac ken, jr.,
Superintendent Thomas M. Rives
said today.
The lawyer who was courted
and feted only a short time ago
as a member of the little cabinet
of the Hoover Administration, but
who now stands in contempt Of
the Senate and awaits a Today
term for his offense, may wear a
business suit and get little bet
ter food than otherwise if he
should choose to work during the
interval of his incarceration.
AS an alternative, if he should
decide to take a complete rest
during these 10 days, he will be
required to wear the customary
prison uniform and occupy q
cell like any other prisoner who
refuses to work.
No FavOrs Wait Him
It was made clear by Superin.
tendent Rives that Colonel Mac
Cracken will receive no special
favors. He may have his meals
sent to the jail if he wishes to
pay for them, and thus escape
the prison fare served free to the
run-of-mine prisoners. Except for
that, the jail head said, he will
get the same treatment as any
prisoner who comes to the Jail
without money or friends.
The exact date when Colonel
Mac Cracken will be taken ID
jail had not been decided today.
He has Is days in which to seek
review by the Supreme Court.
sergeantratarms Chesley w:
Jurney, of the Senate, indicated
that he would not require the
former official to surrender him
self before the expiration of that
period if he wishes to take the
full legal limit in fighting the
case.
Ultimately, Jurney will write a
letter to the duly constituted
authority" in charge of the jan
the phraseology used in de-
livering Colonel Brittin a year
ago-setting forth the reason
for his Imprisonment, and de.
liver this letter with the docu.
ments in the case and the prls-
oner himself at the jail door.
Here is what will happen to
him thereafter:
His name and address, family
status, occupation, name of near.
est relative, and other details
will be recorded.
Must Be Searched
He will be searched for
weapons, drugs, liquor, poison,
and other items which prisoners
are not allowed to possess.
His fingerprints will be taken
and ultimately will reach the De.
partment of Justice, where they
will go into the permanent
Identification files Of the Fed
eral Government.
He will be compelled to bathe
in the prison showers, like all
other prisoners delivered to the
Jail.
After that he will be given the
option of working, which will en-
title him to better food and the
privilege of sleeping with 70 other
men in Superintendent RiveS'
very nice dormitory," or hiber'
mating by himself in separate
! cell.

Naugatuck Valley League Leaders Play At opeOe Sunday
TO PLAY OLD TIMERS NINE
 IN HOLIDAY TILT
Public Parks Leaguers to Meet Veterans at Brass
 co Park, July 4th

Considerable interest has been manifested in the forthcoming baseball game, or something, to be played between the Wilson A. c. and the "Oid Timers" who reside in the vicinity of South Wilson street. The game CD will he played at Brassco park on July 4th in the morning. Otto Wan german has accepted the position as scorekeeper and there are strong rumors that Otto will have the hardest job of all connected with the fray. That is especial ly 50 according to Big Jim Barnes, pilot of the old timers who de. ciares that he won't take anything but a majority of 14 runs. Jim recalls with pride that his team won last year by the score of 1S- 12 after Eddie -Conlan sent out 8 line drive that slzzled past second base scoring later when Bill Lusas crashed a single to right field.
 Manager Barnes and Al Moraska of the youngsters have completed negotiatoins for the tilt. The old Timers will show such players as Tommy Kearney, Frank Cullen, Charley Gauvin, Emil Greenwood, Al valonis, Oscar Chepul, Al Dau- kas, Bobby Neubert, Jack Demp- sey and "Smilin' John" Rukauskas. There will be many substitutoins, for the Old Timers are facing n strenuous schedule during the weeks following and 1t is expect ed that all of the neighbors Will be witnesses to the game which is now the talk of the section.

O'MAHONEY FACES
 JIMMY LONDOS IN
 CRAPPLE TONIGHT
Irish Heavyweight Wres- tier and Greek AdOnis in
 Boston Main Bout

Boston, June .27-(UP)--Danno o'Mahoney, young Irish heavy weight wrestler who has not lost bout since coming to these shores six months ago, realizes his ambi- ton tonight when he grapples with Jimmy Londos of St. Louis in a championship bout. Londos title claims are recognized in 3s states. . The bout will be held in an out door ring at Fenway Park under the auspices of the Cross-Cup Pi- hon Post of the American Legion, and will be the feature on . pro- gram that includes eight other matches, military exhibitions and musical attractions. Promoters ex- pect . crowd of more than 30,000 with gates receipts of at least s40.- 900.
 An odd quirk to the bout is that neither of the principals has seen the other in action. and met for the first time yesterday when they weighed in.
 Physical advantages will be in O'Mahoney's favor, tho Irish youngster weighing 224 against Londos' 205, and standing 6 feet 2 inches against 5 feet s inches for Londos. Only 22 years old, O'Ma. honey's endurance and recupera- tive powers may result in a de- cided advantage If his bout with the 3s-year-old veteran is a long. drawnout affair.
 O'Mahoney will rely chiefly on his personally-devcloped hold, the Irish whip, to dethronc the veteran Greek. He has been practicing this hold again various defenses at his wayiand training c amp and said he has brought it's effective ness to new high peak. He has not lost q bout in America and scored 67 of his 80 falls with the whip.
 Londos. who completing training for the bout here, has used the body lift and slam to gain most of his victories during his six.year reign as title-hoider.
 The wrestlers were examined by n physician yesterday and both were found to be in excelien shape though O'Mahoney. high-strung youth. was found to have a slightly faster pulse and higher blood pres- sure due to the nervous tension on the eve of the most important bout of his career.
 There is very little betting on the outcome.

 The night isn't likely to be long In arriving. either, for Mike Jacobs of the Twentieth Century Sporting club has opened negotiations for such a business, and when Mike steps out of his office (consisting chiefly of any bustling street corner in tho Roaring Forties) and starts negotiating, he really negotiates.
 The only hitch in the plans to pit the bitterly butcher boy against the Brown Bomber in September, as understand 1t, Is the condition of Baer's hands. There Is Q great deal of mystery. 1t seems, about MaX's fists. He says they arc brok- en to bits. and so tender he scarce- ly dares to wave toodle-oo to a blonde doll across the dance floor.

TO-DAY,S SPORT PARADE

Opposed to him are covey of conn potent surgeons and roomful of X-ray machines. The doctors say (and the impartial machines bear them out) that the bones of his fists are as solid as those in his head. Which, if true, means they're 100 per cent solid.
 If Baer can be convinced his weapons are okay, he'll sign for Louis. What a sweetheart that would be! I'm figuring. of course. on the real Baer. and not the love- lorn, clownlng oaf who stood idly by and allowed Jimmy Braddock to lift his heavyweight champion ship. The Baer I'm thinking about Is the vicious, untamed animal who hammered Frankie Campbell into insensibility us he swung helpless In the ropes; who went 20 slaugh- ter-house rounds with Pauline in the furnace heat of Reno, and who could have gone 20 more; who came wading from his corner against Schmeling. took the Teu- tons Sunday punch In the middle of the face and, with tears running from his eyes, proceeded to club him down; and who had Camera up and down like an elevator.
 It would be another Pickett's charge while 1t lasted. And 1t wouldn't last long. It would be short, hot and sweet. Baer, even though he starts getting tough where the other boys leave off. wouldn't take more than one or two of Louis depth bomb rights and lefts without sitting down. That Louis, gentlemen. throws punch "a wicked punch. He'll take the top of your head with either hand.
 Baer, while he punches entirely differently from Louis, can still lay one on you. That round house curve right of his, thrown from a point somewhere back of first base, isn't a graceful thing but it's . cobblestone when 1t lights.
 Would 1t ever light on Louis 1? And how would Joe act if 1t did !? Nobody knows the answer, but you'll never convince mo that there aren't s0,000 curious customers ready to pay million dollars to find out.
