I RAN across the latest golf alibi
i the other day. A friend of
mine had lost a golf match the day
before and here's the way he
explained it:
He had reached the green and was
preparing to make the putt which, If
successful, would have given him
the match. He had the pin lined
up with his eye. feet placed cor
rectly, club balanced, all set for this
important putt. But as he swung,
a high-speed airplane came roaring
down out Of the sky and zoomed
over the golf links.
Consequently, my excited friend
knocked his ball way past the hole.
Gosh! We're blamed for every
thing, we fliers. Talking about golf
and a hole-in-one and all that
business 1 saw big twin-mo-
tored bombing plane.
During a certain air meet, this
chap took off and as he cleared the
airdrohe his right motor quit. There
was a golf course ahead and he
steered for that And after series
Of leaps and bounds and wild
lurches, the big bombing plane
came to rest on one of the green's
with its big nose damned down over

ENEMIES POUR
VIOLENT ABUSE
ON ROOSEVELT
Bitter Personal Attacks
Launched: Fantastic
RumorS Spread.
BY LEE G.. MILLER
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. July 10.-A sud-
den outbreak Of personal attacks on
the President. coupled with the
whispered spread of fantistic ru-
mors about him. indicated today that
the anti-Roosevelt campaign in 1886
may be one Of the most violently
abusive Of this generation.
In the last few days. since Mr..
Roosevelt's demand for immediate
tax-the-rich legislation, many Of his
critics on the right have cast aside
restraint. The shouts Of Huey Long,
who called the President a liar
and a faker" over the radio, are
scarcely less cautious than the out
cries of the rugged individualists.
Two years ago. the President was
almost immune from attack. A year
ago criticism had developed, but
most of it was aimed ostensibly at
the brain trust" Today this in
direction has been abandoned.
Mediocre intellectually
An article in the Magazine of
Wall Street by Charles Benedict, for
instance, calls the President a man
Of mediocre intellectually" and @ex-
aggerated self-esteem, and asserts
that the alteration Of the masses"
has turned his head" 1t accuses
him Of egotism" and irresponsible
tendencies and a "fatuous favorit-
ism for yes men"
Robert H. Hemphill, financial
writer for the Hearst newspapers.
declares in denouncing the tax pro-
posals that the outstanding char
acteristic Of this Administration is
insincerity" and calls the President,
in effect, both incompetent" and
irresponsible
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
Or. Mich) speaks over the radio
about "a volatile White House" and
warns that there are a few natural
laws which no regime. no matter
how infatuated with its own be-
nevolence and power. can repeal or
evade."
Breakdown" Is False
A weekly Washington Letter"
privately circulated among many
business men and industrialists pro-
fesses to recount comment around
the Capital that Mr.. Roosevelt is
"emotionally unstable"
This sort Of talk is climaxed in
a tale widely circulated by word
of mouth that Mr.. Roosevelt broke
down" at recent press conference
and had to be carried from the
room" Needless to say, the story
is entirely without foundation. The
same sort of yarn was spun during
the campaign of 80.
'Scorns Constructive Criticism
David Lawrence says in the United
States News that the President re-
fuses to accept constructive criti-
cism" John w. Owens, editor of
the Baltimore Sun, writes of the
President that his own tempera-
ment and the people who surround
him (perhaps because of his own
temperamenD seem to set up a wall
between him and precisely the men
who have the experience in public
affairs that would be useful in the
government.
Many here believe the violence of
some of the current attacks, which
is almost unparalleled since the
second term of Woodrow Wilson,
may bring some rejoinder from Mr.
Roosevelt in the speeches he is
planning on his projected cross
country tour this summer.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-07-10

notice the British have gone in
extensively for serving complete
meals on board their airliners. On
the run between London and Paris
their new 38-passenger transports
carry two stewards who serve hot
and cold meals during the fight.
A business man can leave London
at 8:15 a. m, breakfast in the plane,
spend seven hours in Paris and re-
turn to London at 1880 p. m, dining
on the return trip also.
Such facilities mean not only eff
cheney for the business man, but
what is just as important, greater
comfort.

Browns Are Earl's Jinxes.

A CE of the 1893 Washington cham.
pions, Earl won % games and
lost eight, excluding his triumph in
the world series with the Giants.
That was his peak year. Nine years
before that. in 1924, he won II and
dropped 9. with third-place Detroit
club.
Earl's brace this season was taker
in July. 1t started by a fasco wir
over the Tigers by 12-1l score
That was the only game, incidentally
in which he has been taken out OF
the box since inaugurating his victory
drive.
Next followed a 3-to-2 loss to St.
Louis in IL heart-breaking innings,
but Earl came back with a 9-to-2 win
over Chicago. The Browns again
whipped him, 7 to 6, but Whitehill
here reeled of four successive tri-
umphs, beating Boston, Philadelphia,
Detroit and Chicago.
Once again the pesky Browns halted
his march, winning another 3-to-2
decision, but Earl bounced back on
his victory trail by his 13-inning La
Dor day win over Boston. Then the
Browns held him to a A tie in 10
innings here not long ago.
Total: Eight wins, three defeats and
one tie.

Show Monday-Furr, Blair
Booked for Battle.

q AM SOBOL, who looks after the
interests Of Joe Lipps around
Washington, insists his heavy
weight at last Is in trim to
bowl over any fighter of Lipps' weight
class that has been seen in action here
this Summer.
After the Georgia boy knocked Kirk
Burke cold in the second round at the
ball park last Tuesday night, Sam
clamored for a match with Buck
Everett. Maybe he will get that
later, but the next foe for Lipps will
be tough Terry Mitchell of Brooklyn
and the battling will occur at Griffith
Stadium next Monday night.
1t was Mitchell that Lipps fought
when the latter first came up from
Georgia to make Washington his
headquarters. Joe gave Terry a pretty
good argument, but lost on points.
Since, however. Lipps has put away
Julius Weigh, Lou La Page and Burke
and this time would seem to stand a
good chance against Mitchell over the
eight-round route.
Another rematch has been sched-
uled for the Monday card. Phil Fur.
who still holds the District welter-
weight title, and frankie Blair of
Camden, N. j., will get together again.
1t was Blair who gave Furr such an
artistic lacing early in the outdoor
season, a lacing that all but put the
District welter on the shelf. These
two also will meet at eight rounds.

Retires Il Batters in Order.

IN HIS last II games, all of which
he lasted, Whitehill toiled lot in
nings, gave up 103 hits and permitted
only 43 runs, which is pretty good
pitching. None of it, though, meas
ured up to his performance yesterday
in running the Nationals latest win
ming streak to three in a row as a
result Of a 3-to-0 victory over the
Tribe.
Unknown to any one, Earl was cele-
brating his 18th anniversary. He
Joined the Tigers on September IL,
1928, right here in Washington.
Whitley recalled the day. So did Bucky
Harris, who then was wiry little Sec
ond baseman for Washington
What a greeting we gave Earl
that day." Bucky remembered, with a
chuckle. Detroit was leading us,
z to 0, in the sixth or seventh inning.
Sylvester johnson was pitching for the
Tigers, but they took him out to save
him for Philadelphia and put in
Whitehill.
well. before Earl's first inning was
over we scored eight runs and won
the ball game. How do I remember
SO well? That happened to be the
day Muddy Ruel and myself came to
bat twice in that inning and each OF
us got two hits"
Be that as it may, there was no re-
semblance to Earls debut and his
anniversary yesterday. His curve
twisting into the shadows like loose
end of whipped rope, Whitehill gave
up three singles, allowed only one In
dian to reach third base and turned
back the last IA batters in order.
His mates, between leaving IL run
ners stranded on the bases, managed
to push across the runs with the aic
of Monte Pearsons wildness and 9
double by Roberto Estallella, together
with some daring base running, while
Walter Stewart was on the slab.

achieving a greater goal.
In what should be the sunset of a

hill, nearing SO, actually stands a
chance to finish this season with the
third best record of his long and
honorable stay in the big show.
Twelve years ago yesterday. and on
the same slab from which he shut out
Cleveland's Indians with three hits,
Whitehill broke into the American
League and became one of the most
feared southpaws of his day. Now. on
