E. FLAT ROCKS
WIN EXTENDS
LOOP SERIES
Beats Fletcher 6 to 5 In
Most Thrilling Con-
test Staged
By E. H. CASE

Their backs to the wall after
two straight losses to Fletcher in
the fve-game county champion
ship series and knowing it was
now or never, the East Flat Rock
second half champions, after a
miserable first inning beginning,
seemed to find themselves Satur-
day afternoon and came through
to win the third game by a 6 to
score at Balfour's big park.
Around 500 spectators turned out
for the game.
1t was far and away the most
thrilling contest of the series,
with Lady Luck smiling at first
one team then the other and final
ly giving East Flat Rock the nod
in the ninth when Moore, the
Champs second pitcher, walked
home the winning tally. But SIM
mered down to real baseball in
terms of hitting, pitching and the
indomitable spirit to win, Big
Johnny Jackson, East Flats husky
fire-ball finger, was the giant
cog in winning the game. 1t was
the power in his mighty right arm
that completely checked the hit
ting of tAe Champs after the first
inning, the terrific punch in his
bat that drove out a laundering
home run in the third and a single
in the seventh that scored two
men and his never-say-die spirit
that revived the sinking morale
of his mates and urged them on
to be a semblance, at least, of
their former selves, that spelled
victory for East Flat Rock. At
ter the feeling spread that jack
son was coming through not only
the spirits of his mates took an
upward trend, but East Flat Rock
rooters also came alive and
whooped up the game to a fare
the-well. Dat Greer, the noisest
fan in Henderson county and a
dyde-in-the-weel East Flat Rock
rooter, could be heard all over the
immediate vicinity and it kept one
| man busy dragging him back off
the diamond, out of the way of
the players.
But the game-Fletcher got
first bat. Sorrell hit a bounder to
Ward at second. Ward took the
ball beautifully and shot it to Hen
dirk at first. Hendrix let the ball
scoot across the bag and Sorrell
was safe. Garren caught one on
the nose and drove it toward left
field fence. Gibbs backed up to
make the catch and bumped into
the fence just as the ball hit his
glove. The ball bounded away
and Sorrell scored and Garren
went to second. Wilkie drilled a
double to right field and Garren
scored. M. Bagwell drew a free
ticket to first on balls and j.
Baldwin hit into a double play,
| V. Drake at third to Hendrix at
first. M. Bagwell went to sec
ond on the double killing and f..
Baldwin sent him home with a
single. 1t began to look like a
repetition of Wednesdays game
| in which Fletcher scored seven
times in the first inning and went
on to win by Ia to A score. But
Jackson got hold of himself,
struck out Case and Fletcher's
scoring was over until the eighth
inning.
East Flat Rock didn't score in
the first frame but picked up a

PARIS, April 10.-Edward Bern
hueber. who police alleged was one
OF the cleverest operatives of the Ger
man intelligence service, was under
arrest today as a result of investiga-
tionS which authorities said had un-
covered an important nest of spies
He was detained on a warrant is
sued by Judge Benon. the magistrate
who conducted the original investi-
cations into the activities Of the
American couple, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Gordon Switz. and 1s others now on
trial on espionage charges.
Police said Bernhueber has posed
in French political circles as an
apostle OF Franco-German rap
prochement. His mail, they said, was
addressed under the name Of Britz
to the apartment of an American
friend, whose name was not disclosed.
The authorities said that when
Bernhueber was taken into custody
he had on his person a list Of Ques-
tions on military. diplomatic and po-
litical subjects which he had asked
a French journalist, Armand Avrousst.
The questions indicated a particular
interest in Austrian affairs, police
said.
They quoted Bernhueber as assert

German drug manufacturers, not

It seems that Chairman Fletcher OF
the Senate Banking Committee was
going over his mail about q week ago
when he ran across a letter from Mr.
Moffett complaining about the new
Eccles bank bill. Apparently, Mr..
Moffett thought that Mr.. Eccles was
trying to have the Federal Reserve
System compete with the housing pro-
gram. Mr.. Moffett's Interpretation
was that banks could lend IS per cent
on mortgages under the new bank bill,
which would hurt, II not wreck, that
phase of the housing program insuring
mortgage loans up to 80 per cent.
Those close to Senator Fletcher say
that he sent Mr.. Moffet,s letter to Mr..
Eccles. The services of referee are
now required.
These difficulties have spawned
fresh rumors that MIR. Moffett will
resign.
The fact about Mr.. Moffett's tenure
Is this: He has an understanding with
President Roosevelt that he will be re-
leased to resume his rather extensive
private business operations as soon as
the Housing Administration is on its
feet. His friends have assumed that
this time would arrive some time be-
fore the end of this year. What 1t
really means is that he may 60 at any
time.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Snoopers Beset Federal
Workers-P. w. A.
Probers Investigated.
BY PAUL MALLON.

@HE life of Government worker
is supposed to be one Of ease
and poverty. Walt Whitman
4 liked it because it furnished
the ideal serenity required for
poetic complacency. That was before
the New Deal.
II Whitman were to come back to
it now he would find the atmosphere
in several corners more inspiring for
two-gun thrillers than for poetry.
There was. for instance, a bureau
chief in the Public Works Administra-
ton who got tired of having the in
telligence service of the bureau snoop-
ing around his office. He collared the
detective one day and said quietly:
eff see your face again am going
to shoot you. Don't worry; l won't
kill you. I am merely going to wound
you. so that will have an opportunity
at my trial to expose this situation. "
The detective probably did not trust
the bureau chiefs aim. He absented
himself thereafter. The chief later
was successful in transferring himself
to another Government department
where he does not need his pistol.
