COLD DICCERS COMEDY PLAYS
 AT CAPITOL
Many Film Favorites Hold Out Their P alm $ in
 Epic of Chiselers

Gold Diggers of 1885" new film reported to be the last word in musi- cal spectacles, and replete with novel innovations, subtle humor, and ridi- culous situations, opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre.
 While Gold Diggers7 is funny, there is a serious romance running through the plot, with Dick Powell and Gloria Stuart portraying the lovers. Frank McHugh and Dorothy Dare also have serio-comic love affair. Incidentally, Glenda Farrell, the only lady gold-digger" in the story, takes Hugh Herbert over the hurdles for a piece of change.
 Powell, a medical student who works as clerk in a fashionable summer hotel, is engaged by Alice Brady, parsimonious wealthy widow, to escort her daughter, Gloria Stuart, on a round of festivities during the summer, as a reward for Gloria s promise to marry Hugh Herbert, an eccentric millionaie who writes arti- cles about snuff, in the fall. After a number Of climactic situations, however, she becomes reconciled to the marriage of Gloria and Powell, on the ground that with all the shocks involved in living it would be cheaper to have a doctor in the family.
 A score of other film favorites hold out their palms during the progress Of the gold-digging epic.

Goes To Russia

The next year the. Cabinet sent him on the first British mission to Russia with authority to stay there as ambassador at $4O,0O0 year if he thought it was the thing to do. In Lloyd Georges war cabinet he was minister without portfolio until, annoyed by the Welshman's tactics, he resigned.
 He was home secretary in the first labor government and secretary of state for foreign affairs and a world figure in the 1929-31 labor cabinet
 Most of Labor's triumphs in this, it's second, government came in the foreign field-which is to say that Arthur Henderson did a good job
 One of his maxims was that noth- ing was more vital to world stability and peace than an understanding between Britain and America.
 His other preoccupation in the foreign field was disarmament and he spent no little of his health in it's behalf.
 He was married in 1888, but Mrs Henderson kept quietly in the back ground. They had three sons and one daughter.

 TENNESSEE TOWN

Ralph Waggoner, son of the Rev. David Waggoner and wife, and who returned to his Juneau home several weeks ago from the outside, was given farewell party by friends and neighbors of the Timber Ridge Community, Tennessee, previous to leaving for the north.
 The Greenville News, of recent date, says that for last visit with Ralph P. Waggoner, of Juneau, AL aska, about 40 friends were present at a farewell gathering of Timber Ridge Community at the home of Mrs. w. N. Roberts and delightful evening was spent. Each gues brought a silver offering which was presented to MT. Waggoner in a unique manner, each piece of money being wrapped in paper bearing the name of the giver. These were all placed in a box and presented to MT. Waggoner to unfold and read aloud the names. The evening was spent in games and pleasant con- versation and before the guests de- parted, MT. Waggoner sang very beautifully a number of the favorite songs.
 MT. Waggoner will be greatly missed in the Timber Ridge Com munity He has preached on Sunday mornings through June, July and August and has helped reorganize the young peoples society, has di- rected the music and held mid-week singing services regularly.

BOSTON, Mass, April 26-The
halter men of baseball are whip
ping the major leagues into a
frenzy. The halter men of the
diamond are the clubs that re-
fuse to waive on promising young
ball players whom proprietary
clubs seek to place for develop
ment with minor leagues. The
prototype of the halter men of
baseball originated on the turf
where they snatch winning platers
out of races at claiming prices.
The Browns and White Sox in
the American League are the
leading halter men of the Amer.
lean League at this time. Rogers
Hornsby, with limited resources
at his command, must use this
method of obtaining promising
youngsters. His is happy posi-
ton for the time being, as any
youngsters he desires to ship off
for seasoning are not ready for
the majors. If Hornsby can pick
up a couple of good rockies he
may help himself at conservative
costs.
The halter men are embarrass-
ing the Washington club no little.
President Clark C.. Griffith asked
for waivers on one or two of his
men but withdrew them hastily
when the halter men evidenced
their interest in the players
named. Other clubs in contend
ing position have done the same
thing. There promises to be a
fine scramble before May Is, the
day on which all clubs must re-
duce to % men.
Halter War Looms
It goes without saying that
clubs like the Cincinnati Reds,
the Braves and those other organi-
cations which see tough times be-
fore them are taking no chances
on letting promising youngsters
slip through their fingers. Tenn
pers are becoming short and base
balls war of the halter may go
down in history with the war of
the roses, the red and white
revolutions and other famous in
ternecine conflicts.
In the interest of truth it
must be related that President
Clark Griffith is not entirely
blameless, nor lacking in halters.
Every time a good right-handed
hitting outfielder is posted on the
waivers lists, Griff grabs up the
hackamore rope and starts into
action. Mr.. Griffith will contend,
if approached on the subject of
his claiming activities, that the
emergency is such that the inter
ests of his club justify his &C
Invites.
And, gentlemen, so say all of
these halter men.
Stewart Dismal Failure
The game that was to alter the
destinies of the Washington base
ball club proved a lamentable
fizzle. Walter Stewart started to
prove that he could handle any
and all difficult assignments in
the pitchers box. After being

PH|LL|ES To
ONE HIT

For seven and one.third in.
nings over at Ebbets Field yes
terday, Old Man Destiny rode on
every ball sent winging it's merry
way plateward from the mound
occupied by the Dodgers young
change-of-pace-artiSt, Johnny Ba-
bich.
Philadelphia's Phutile Phils
stepped up to the dusty Ebbets
Field pan one by one to wave
senSelessly at Johnny's offerings,
and for the said seven and one
third frames-sat right down
again.
Then 10! A Philistine appeared
in the person of Mike Haslin, a
utility infielder, who sent single
bouncing over the greenSWard
just out of reach of Linus Frey.
1t was the only hit of the game
for the Phils, and holding any
big,time outfit to only one hit,
even the Phils, is no mean ac-
compliShment for a youngster in
his second year up.
Yesterday Paul, the st. Louis
stars younger brother, suffered a
similar fate when he went in in
the eighth and yielded a run, be-
fore retiring in favor of HeuSSer.
The Chicago Cubs, aided by
Chuck Klein's homer in the fifth
with two on bases, beat the
Cards to 5.
The Chicago White SoX humb-
led Schoolboy Rowe, Detroit Tiger
ace, pounding out nine hits and
as many runs to defeat the Amer

hit homer with all the stations
occupied.
The New York Yankees pounded
five Boston pitchers for IL hits,

success, the deluge burst over
the field. The Athletics hate,
suppressed through a losing
streak of four consecutive games
found expression in fuSillade of
hits that swept down Stewart,
wrecked the hopes of Harris and
returned Monte Weaver to his
former status. Nothing will be
done in the case of the math
teacher until some pitcher. as yet
undiscovered by Washington
comes along to set at rest the
doubts that murder Harris sleep.
Perhaps such pitcher will
come in wearing halter. 1t is
not how he comes that matters;
it's if he will come at all.
Thisa and Thata
Our boys certainly made that
ball bleed yesterday, but there
was one great lesson in the pas
time; we've just got to get a cou-
pie of right-handed hitters if we're
going any place. Wilshere just
toyed with the south-side swingers.
Fred Sington broke up the hit,
less game of WilShere with a solid
sock to left in the seventh inning
You could have cut the gloom
around Shibe Park when Fred's
blow rang out. Naturally the
small but select crowd rooted for
hitless game.
Goodness knows what is going
to happen to the finances of the
Athletics this season. If the club
cannot draw in crowds with q
super star like Jimmy Foxx on
the team, the outlook is more
than sour. Just watch the
Athletics sell Foxx next winter,
may be to Chicago if the Windy
City outfit is truly sincere about
building up the club for another
year.
Larry put down a bunt in the
eighth and had it beaten when
the leather rolled foul. He then
slashed toward left field and
although Newsome fielded the
ball he never had a chance to
make a play. This blow reduced
WilsheSe's performance to a good
game and little else.
Holbrook gave great exhibit
ton of rasslin' with foul flies.
But it's just my bunch that either
Darno O'Mahaney or Rudy
Dusek would put more pep into
the show.
