ArCddidns Back
In Pin Lead

Aided by the smashing victory
of the Heurich Brewers over Occi'
dental Restaurant last night, Ar
cadia regained first place in the
District League for the third time
this season by nosing out Grand
Central Valet three times in a
hotly contested match at Lucky
Strike.
Ed Schlegel is somewhat Of a
hero today over in Georgetown for
his lusty 404 set that included a
155 single string which led the
winning attack for the Brewers
over the champion Occidentals.
1t was the second time Ed had
come through as substitute and
the second time that the Heurich
crew had trimmed Fred Buchholz
expert band of duckpinners.
The Brewers rolled 1853, high
set for the major circuits three
matches. Ed Blakeney with 381
and Red Megaw with 37S backed
up the stellar pinch-rolling OF
Schlegel. Joe Harrison was Occi-
dental's top shooter with 377.
Timely last frame counting
put the Arcadians across as
Make Rosenberg's 377 and Frank
Mischou's 375 topped the sweep.
Joe Freschi's 376 led the luckleSS
Valetmen.
Lucky Strike improved its posi-
tion in the pennant race by
trouncing Convention Hall three
times. Howard Campbell, the
Luckies' captain, supplied the win
ming punch with 1894 set, reeling
off games of 106, 145 and 143.
Clem Smiths 367 and 145 string
was high for the Hallmen, who
have yet to break in the win
column.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Barring
the unforeseen and the un-premed-
itated, the order of the finish
in the American and National
Leagues is not to be determined
next season, as Of next october
/. 1t was pretty much arranged
during the last three days at the
annual meetings Of the major
leagues when the Detroit and
Boston clubs bought themselves
an option on first and second
places in the American League
and the three logical contenders
in the National did no worse
than reestablish recognized
priority.
First of all, the rampant and
rabid Yawkey made a play to
buy the American League pen.
nant by giving Connie Mack a
couple of pin boys in a bowling
alley and a sum estimated be-
tween 100000 and $150,O00 for
Jimmy Foxx and Johnny Mar
cum. The resounding echo of
that one had hardly ranged over
the acoustics Of the lobby when
Detroit, which hadn't wanted to
pay $50.00O for Al Simmons, sud,
denly decided to pay $4,000.
Yanks Still After Myer
A further result. they say, may
be the purchase of Buddy Myer,
league batting champion, by
Colonel Ruppert from the Wash,
ington Senators for a price that
will rival the Cronin deal" The
Cronin deal of last year is vari.
ously reported to have cost the
hilarious Yawkey a quarter of a
million dollars; so I'm beginning
to feel that somebody has mis-
understood the colonel. Some.
body, in fact, is spending his
money for him, which is doing it
the difficult way. A lot Of times,
the colonel doesn't even spend his
own.

Shows Promise
In Drills

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 13-The cur
tallmenG OF the Navy's boxing
schedule from the usual seven
matches to four this season has
not lessened the interest in that
sport, and a squad Of large pro-
portions is working daily under
Spike Webb.
At least, the Navy team Is as
sured Of four big matches, and
two of it's opponents are Syracuse
and Virginia, the only teams which
have registered victories in this
sport against the Middies.

ways puts up a good battle, is

Hemenway Moves Up
Hal Hemenway, who fought at

to move up a class, and George
Daunis, a plebe last year, looks
able to fill the place. Hemenway
will have tough opposition at 125

a plebe last year.
John Rawlings, 125-pound fighter
last year, is also heavier and will
contend with Jack Bitch, team

RAY SEES NEW SCORING PUNCH FOR CEN7R
Trio OF Aces
.Lo0kGood To
Mentor
BY GARRETT WATERS

Central High basketers have
reached a new high in spirit and
determination, it now develops,
and it is so noticeable that even
Coach Jack Ray is becoming en-
thuSiaStic over prospects for a
possible championship in the COM
ing inter-high series.
The drills of the past two weeks
have aided in this new trend to-
wards success. 1t seems, the Mt.
PleaSanters have looked very good
each day-So good, that the team,
as a whole, is casting ferocious
eyes in the direction Of Eastern
High School, as if to say, Come
on Parkers, we're hot tool"
Recently the team played a
practice Scrimmage with one of
the suburban high school fives.
A score was kept just as a matter
of comparison and it was found
Central chalked up over so points
as against 20 for the visitors.
Hold Riders at Bay
A week later this same team
held another high school opponent
at bay until the last few minutes
before bowing. This latter game
was on the regular schedule of the
high school team.
Dewey Poole, Donald Fones and
Will Thompson are the high
scorers for the Mt. Pleasanters.
They, Ray believes, will supply the
scoring punch the team failed to
possess last year.
Says Ray:
"a scoring punch is all we
needed to win a few more games
in the 1934-35 series. I believe
we have it now with Poole, Fones
and Thompson in the lineup.
And we can't forget Bill Heygster,
Feliz Silverstein, Sid GerStenfeld
or Sam Fox, who are fair scorers
as we'll as good floor men"
Central opens its campaign to-
day against the Gallaudet Re
serves in the Central gym at $3.50
p. m. Ray hopes the contest will
bring out the scoring punch in no
little way. If such turns out to
be the case, the mentor will begin
believing in his team in complete
fashion.
Two games Ahead
Georgetown Prep and the George
Washington Freshmen will be met
next week. Both of these t1lts, es-
pecially the latter, should offer
the Mt. Pleasahters plenty Of
action and will help whip the lads
into a lather that should make
them definitely set to defeat East
ernS for the title in the inter-high
series. The Georgetown Prep
game comes Monday at Central
and the G. w. FroSh clash Tues
day at G. w.
Other games today schedule
Western against Westinghouse
High at Ballston, Va, at $3.50 p. m,
Georgetown Prep against Takoma-
Silver Spring at Garrett Park, at
$3.50. and Roosevelt against Forest
Park at Baltimore at 1880 p. m.

Emma Cutler To
Serue Sentence

Emma Cutler, 30, was again
booked at the county jail early this
afternoon when she came in with
her father and surrendered on her
bond. A charge of vagrancy was
placed. against her.
At the Jail it was said that the
United States supreme court had
refused to hear her appeal to that
tribunal and for that reason she
decided to surrender and serve out
the balance of her sentence. This
was computed to be SO days remain
ing of the six months term origin
ally given her.
Miss Cutler was sentenced in the
Calexico justice court on a vagran-
cy charge following her activities
during the lettuce strike in the val
ley last winter. She appealed from
that sentence to the superior court
and thence to the state supreme
court. When that court upheld the
decisions of the lower courts she
carried her case directly to the
United States supreme court.

HOUSE OPENS
DEBATE OVER
WORK RELIEF
Average Wage OF $50 Monthly
Not Considered High Enough
By Rep. Connery

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. -Presi-
dent Roosevelt plans to create jobs
for 3,500,000 men at an average wage
of $50 a month, the house was in
formed today as it started debate on
the disputed new $4,880,000,0 900 work
rlief program.
The proposed security wage" is
lar below prevailing wages for reg
ularly employed workers.
Data on the projected wages and
number of persons to whom it is
hoped to give jobs was contained in
the formal report of the house ap-
preparations committee on the bill.
The report was based on testimony
by Rear Admiral Christian j. Peo-
plies, treasury official who surveyed
the hugh public works project for
the President.
AS placed before the house, the
bill acceded to the Presidents de-
mand that his hands mot be tied"
in putting the program into effect
and allocating funds to the pro-
jects. The Democratic majority, af-
ter sharp discussion, backed COM
promise rule which will prevent
amendment of these sections.
Other amendments will be per-
mitted, including several designed to
prevent Harold L. Ickes, secretary
of interior, from being placed in
charge of the program.
With general limited debate per-
mitted and several amendments to
be voted on, leaders conceded the
bill could net be passed until tomor-
row.
Peoples revelation of the $50 q
month average wage, which will be
higher in some communities due
to living costs, inspired new drive
by Chairman William P. Connery OF
the house labor committee to at
tempt to write into the bill an am
endment forcing payment of pre-
vailing wages TO all given work re-
lief.
otherwise these men will be
nothing but scabs," Connery said.

PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. %.
U.P)-A bald-headed man who
planed away at a plank and scat
tered shavings over the courtroom
testified today that Bruno Richard
Hauptmann's carpenter tools were
used to construct the ladder used in
the Lindbergh kidnapping.
Arthur Koehler is a federal gov
ernment wood eXpert-unconnec
with any police force-but today he
spun a little true-life detective
story about why he came here to
swear that one piece of the ladder
is a board from Hauptmann's at
tic.
Attorney General David T. Will

to Koehler-a large yellow affair
made of wood and steel.

COUP AGAINST
BORIS FAILS

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 90. W.P)-
King Boris ruled today with cab
met dominated by the army, after
a bloodless coup in which the army
turned the tables on Republicans
seeking to GUST him.
For a long time the cabinet of
Premier Kimon Ghorghieff had
been seeking the aid of younger
army officers in preparing the way
for a Republican coup in which
they planned to offer Boris the
choice of abdicting or dying.
Older army officers learned G the
plan. Choosing the moment when
GhoreKieff was embarrassed be-
cause of his failure to obtain a debt
revision plan from the League of
Nations, the army officers demand
ed Ghorghieff IS resignation and OBJ
tanned it.

away at it with the plane. Then he
produced microscopic pictures show
ing that the same plane marks ap-
peared on the wood in the ladder as
appeared on the plank he was
working on.
Koehler then matched the grain
in the right rail of the third sec
ton of the ladder with the grain in
2 board in the Hauptmann attac.
An eight-foot piece had been sawed
out of this attic floorboard, he said,
and built into the ladder.
Koehler said the reason he knew
that, was that sawdust was found
on the lath and plaster under the
wooded flooring in the attic and
that fresh saw mark appeared in
the board.
Koehler's story of his patient re-
search and the startling conclus-
ions he reached held the spectators
and jury enthralled almost most
of it was of a technical nature. 1t
was more damning than any iden-
OlllCdOiOil Li<iNC III ViiIo Coui u OOlii,
and it took on added force because
of its cold, scientific nature.
Koehler Swore that the right
hand rail of the third section of
the ladder was piece of flooring
which had been sawed out of the
Hauptmann attic.
As Koehler' IS testimony proceed
ed, courtroom spectators began to
understand what Attorney General
David T. Wilentz was talking about
when he said in his opening state
ment:
"Why, we will show that Mr..
Bruno Richard Hauptmann has this
ladder right around his neck
Koehler, proved to be one of the
most damaging witnesses who testi-
field against Hauptmann.
Defense counsel fought hard to
keep Koehler's IS testimony out of the
record They challenged his quail
fications as wood expert, but
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard
brushld their objections away with
the remark; ~ deem this witness
to be amply qualified.
LieO Lewis Bornmann of the
New Jersey state police preceded
Koehler on the witness stand and
told how he had found evidence
that a floor board in the Haupt7
mann attic had been freshly sawed.
On the plaster beneath the wooden
attic floor, he said, there was saw
dust.
Two New York police department
carpenters corroborated his teSti-
mony.
