Rudolph T. Lefty Harrell was being
talked about, much talked about In
fact, by his pal Ralph Fowler.
II seems that Rudolph, otherwise
Lefty and no one knows why, was
badly on his stick with all his long
shots, but he had golf bali with q
magnet In It, magic pill which found
an attraction right at the hole and
dropped In without any regard to
Fowler's nerves. He used only II puts
In 0 holes.
"What are you going to do against
guy who misses most Of his tee shots
and plays the nine holes in 35 strokes,
even par?" walls Fowler. "It isn't
only the puts he holes, but think Of
my nerves. Oh me, oh my" Lefty
got around that first nine at Washing

the second nine which cost him Il

tered yesterday BY v. Calvert Dickey
at Washington, which included a
on the twelfth hole, where he four
putted the green. "Golf must be an
easy game" said Thurston FUR when
he heard Of 1t. FUR claims he has
licked Dickey seven or eight times In q
row, which adds new public enemy
to the Dickey list. Dorie Gruver still
remains at No. 1, however.
Over at Washington today, Fur,
the cocky one, who wins a lot of
matches in the locker room, was to
take on Sam Rice, the reformed ball
player, who can knock the apple
around Indian Spring in respectable
figures, but isn't so good at Wash

narrow. FUR and Jimmy Corcoran
we're to take on Rice and Gruver,
and there's lots Of interest in it.

NEW GROUP FORMS.
TO OBTAIN SCHOOL
North RandIe Highlands and
East Washington Citizens
Want Own Unit.

Dire need for a school in the Sec
tons known as North Randle High
lands and East Washington Highlands
has caused citizens to organize the
western portion of the area covered
by Randle Highland Citizens Associa-
ton into a separate civic group.
The new organization, named North
Randle Highlands Community Cit
liens Association, is the elimination
Of an active campaign conducted by
Joseph De Misa, Fred Christianson
and Pratt Chroniger. The area in
cluded in the new group extends north
of the Anacostia River to N street
southeast on the east and is bounded
on the north by East Capitol street
southeast.
Need Pointed Out.
De MiSa said: THE citizens in this
neishborhood felt that the Randle
Highlands Association had too much
territory to cover to give adequate
representation and by the division
closely organized groups will preside
over this area instead Of one loosely
cooperating civic unit"
Christianson stated that the group
Is going to get Improvements, such as
street paving, street lighting, bus serv-
ice and other items. in this new devel-
opment before it becomes so densely
populated that these Improvements
would have to be done on an enor-
nous scale. 1t will be much easier to
get appropriations to supply the needs
now than to allow them to pile up
until the area is developed.
The first action OF the association
will be q drive to secure temporary
school to meet the present need. A
new school in this area Is the goal,
for the children have to 60 to other
sections of the city where schools are
located.
Officers Chosen.
The officers elected to preside over
the civic body until the September
meeting are: Christianson, president;
Chroniger, vice president; De Misa,
secretary, and Owen Selby. treasurer.
Fifty members already have been
enrolled by the three active leaders.

COMMON LAW CLAIM
TO ESTATE IS DENIED
Attorney Held More Discarded
Suitor Than Husband Of Rich
Chicago Widow.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Federal Judge
John p. Barnes today held Lionel
r. Barbour, Detroit, might have been
q sutton for the hand of his benefac-
tress, the late Mrs. Annie Henderson,
but that he was never her common
law" husband.
He denied the Michigan attorneys
claim to q share in the $7O0. 900 es-
tate Of the wealthy Aurora, H., widow
who died in 1881 in her late 70s.
Barbour's suit was based on his
claim that they eliminated May
and December" romance by q ritual
istic marriage in Detroit In 1885. He
is now A years old.
The judges opinion cast doubt on
the veracity Of several Of Barbour's
witnesses, who said the widow and
the young man who acted as her
chauffeur on several trips about the
country occupied the same bed room
in hotels.
The court termed Barbour q 'tpro-
life letter writer" and said the let
tiers written both before and after
Mrs. Henderson's death by the plain
tit were those of discarded sutton,
not Of . husband"
Among her equals her status was
regarded as that of an unmarried
woman" said the Judge, land the
plaintiff was regarded as her chauf-
feur."
