HOLLYWOOD. Jan. 19.-In

Freddie came to Hollywood with
a prayer on his lips and a prayer
in his heart-the kind of a prayer
that only a small boy can know.
And today, less than four months

with Michigan, the defending
titleholder, enjoying a 27-stroke
lead over its closest rival, North

Tied for individual honors we're

Kocsis and Johnny Fischer.
Fischer and Kocsis, both former
titleholders, shot identical scores
of 1879, one under par, for the So

Michigan was expected to win
it's fourth consecutive title today
with little effort, the Wolverines
having placed it's four members

CENTRAL WINS,
R|DERSLO

Central High had the only vic
tory to its credit today, follow
ing three games for scholastic
teams yesterday. The Mt. Pleas
anters defeated Fredericksburg
High, 5 to 4, in a thriller at
Central.
The other two contests found
Roosevelt and Eastern losing.
The Rough Riders dropped a 3
to 0 engagement to Georgetown
Prep while Eastern went down to
defeat before Westinghouse
High, of Ballston, 3 to /.
Shorty Chumbris was the star
in Central's victory with four hits
in as many trips to the pan.
Two of these bingles were doubles.
Powell let Roosevelt down with
three hits while pitching for
Georgetown Prep. The Garrett
Parkers only got four off Blum
den, but made them count in the
second inning for all their runs.
Tucker could not hold Wash
ington-Lee for Eastern, although
he might have won had his mates
garnered more than two hits off

AltrocK made a plea to Moriarty
on Van Atlas half balk move to
first base. It did him no good
whatsoever.
Myer had a nne chance to do
something when he came to the
bat in the third inning. But
Buddy failed to produce. He
bounced one out to Russell Van
Alta, who made the play with
very little difficulty.
It was a nice genC1emanly day

Joe Kuhel had a profitable day
at the plate. He slapped out two

lead off spot that makes men hit
the ball so well?
Looked as If Van Alta didn't
try too hard to get the ball over
the plate in the fifth with Myer
at the bat. But subsequent devel.
opmentS exonerated him Of evad-
ing any issue. His control was
gone, and he just couldn't locate
the pan.
Powell broke his bat in the fifth
inning, hitting nothing better
than a weak little foul. The over
head of these ball clubs Is simply
terrific. But all'S well that ends
well. Powell then singled, and with
an error by Pepper, cleared the
bases.

for Heinie. He got nothing better
than a slow roller to Travis. How
ever, it counted as a hit.
It was figured that Leon Petit
might start today's game with the
Browns. But when Hadley was hit
three times conSecutively in the
eighth inning the familiar swing
Of thai left handler was observed
in the right-field bull pen.
Bluege faced the pitcher four
times but was not at bat once.
Easy, Mr.. Ripley: dead easy. He
walked three times and sacrificed
once.
Elton Walkup walked into the
box in the eighth inning, walked
two batters and then walked out
leaving Ivy Andrews to pitch him
self out, II possible. Andrews ex"
perienced no little trouble, but
sooner or later retired the side.
If the Griffs never do this again
this year, they batted the side
around in two different innings
yesterday. In the fifth inning
they made five runs and H. the
eighth they got three more. If
they could only play the Browns
every day they'd really go places.

which, coupled with the fact
that st. Louis is one of the few
clubs which wouldn't be hurt
ing themselves if they nipped
off any of their players here or
there, portend a likely trade
with Washington if not an out
right sale.
Too, st. Louis is Washington's
ancient market when on the
lookout for player material
has been since away back in the
days when Phillip de Catsby
Ball was alive and prosperous.
Griff and Mr.. Ball could ever
get together on a little boss
trading, sometime to the detri.
ment of one or the other and
often to the benefit Of both.
Got Heads Together
However, there is smoke and
possibly fire behind the series
of conferences which President
clark Griffith and Manager
Rogers Hornsby have been
having since yesterday morning
when the Browns came to town.
This was true of the talks they
had in st. Louis during the
world series when they got their
noggins together at Sportsman's
Park. The winter wasn't far
advanced before the Hadley'
Seweu trade came through.
So it is reasonable to expect
any minute now that something
else might materialize between
these two cronies who have
every reason to be using the
same weeping towel and joining
each other in their misery; in
fact who have been doing just
that very thing over the last SO
hours.
Adding Two and Two
Any attempt on our part to
designate exactly what players
might be involved were Wash:
tngton and st. Louis, these two
very natural trading principals,
to experience a meeting of the
minds on manipulation of per-
sonnet, would, Of course, be
merest speculation, as such mat
tiers are ever surrounded in
mystery.
Yet, a survey of the needs Of
the Washington club brings out
the naked truth that Washing
ton needs pitchers and st. Louis
needs cash which Washington
has in abundance.
Sitting that condition down
we've got to determine who
would be available to offset
these individual needs.
Newsom Problem Child
That swarthy young right
hand pitcher of the Browns who
showed a lot of promise last
year, Buck" Newsom, has not
been able to get started for the
Browns this year, having six de-
feats chalked up against no vic
tories for the infant baseball
season. He is the 1885 problem
child of the Browns.
If HornSby is convinced he
can get along without Newsom,
or that something is holding the
28-year-old hurler back this year
that makes him selling ma
terial, we find a happy combi-
nation of incidents which might
solve a situation both here and
out yonder on the Mississippi
banks. The Washington angle
to such a thought is that the
team is surfeited with left
handed hurlerS, needing right
handlers badly.
driff would not verify any Of
this speculation today, but prom
ised if anything happened in
the course of his and Horns
by's negotiations. that would be
time enough to give out the de-
tails.
And so it would. but there
isn't any harm in hopingl

Dishonor Leads Young Couple Leap Death From Plane
Quarantine Is To Continue In Effect
 Says Dr. R. Swartz

When interviewed today about the prevalence of the flu in Nome, and the quarantine which has been plac- ed on public affairs in the city, Dr. Rex F. SWartz, Territorial Health Officer had this to say:
 "The influenza situation in Nome remains about the same with some increase in cases. A survey com pleted Friday shows approximately 100 cases.
 No doubt several cases among the white population have not been re- ported. All cases so far seem to have been of a mild type, but fl is too soon to determine possible com plcations such as pneumonia.
 T believe the continuation of the closure of all public meeting plac- es is necessary. The public has CO., operated in most respects and if all suspected cases will go to bed and report their illness, and remain in doors during their conValescence, there is very little likelihood of more serious complications develop ing.
 Reports have shown that the cpl demic now prevailing in Nome IS similar to ones appearing in Far banks and other Alaskan towns. and I believe that every reasonable precaution should be taken to mini mize the disease as soon as possible.
 For this reason all public meet ing places, including churches, schools, theatres, and the like, will remain closed until further notice
