SENATORS HEAR
MOORE, ABBOT
BACK PLAN
Both Ask Smithsonian Con-
troll of Exhibit of Pictures
: of National Heroes

Following enthusiastic indorse
Rnent by witnesses representing
Federal art institutions, the
Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds today
unanimously ordered favorablJ
reported the Walsh resolution
calling for the creation of a com
mission to study plans for the
construction of a national por
trait gallery.
The measure now goes on the
Senate calendar and will be acted
upon by that body on the next
unanimous consent day. AS fa1
as is known, there is no oppoSi
ton to the proposal, and it is
expected that it will be speedily
enacted.
DR.. Moore Backs Plan
At the hearing today, DR.
Charles Moore, chairman of the
fine arts commission, took the
witness chair first, and expressed
his thorough approval" OF the
&COOAuCAOAAs 44V 0dAA"
"There certainly is a need for
o national portrait gallery. A
separate building for this pur-
pose should be constructed,
just as England has.
"The building should be To-
Gated on the Mall, which has
been set aside for museum
buildings.
Is SMITHSONIAN LAUDED
1.-THE general feeling is that
the Smithsonian Institution
should administer such a gal
lery. Everyone has confidence
in the way that institution
supervises its buildings.
"This would be the best way
to keep it out of politics. AS a
matter of fact, the Freer Gal"
lery of Art is q good example
of that. Mr.. Freer came to me
and asked me to advise him as
to how he could best do some
thing for the Government
along these lines and I advised
him to give his contribution to
the Smithsonian Institution. AS
q result we have the Freer Gal
lery."
"The Freer Gallery, with its
important collection, is one Of
the finest Of its type in the
world"
ABBOT APPROVES
DR.. Charles Abbot, secretary OF
the Smithsonian Institution, also
praised the proposal highly. He
sadi:
"This is a very desirable open
ing wedge toward the establish
ment Of q national portrait
gallery"
He said supervision Of the in
stitution should be placed with
the Smithsonian.
DR.. Abbot told the committee
the Smithsonian has more than
100 portraits already on hand
which would be suitable for the
national portrait gallery.
He explained that a group of
20 paintings of heroes of the
World War are available, original
ly painted at the instance of a
committee of interested persons in
1920, definitely with view to
placing them in a national por.
trait gallery.

ILL MOORE, Washing tons
- latest ringer-throwing SenSa-
ton, will have his mettle
- tested by the toughest oppo-
sition to be found in this section Of
the land If he and Clayton Henson
accept an invitation extended today
by Mayor w. N. Mahaffey of Brent
wood
1t is Mayor Mahatfeys plan to stage
q special match between Henson and
Moore as an anti-climax of the Mary
land State championship to be held
next Monday and Tuesday on the
town courts at Brentwood. This will
open The Stars seventh annual tour
nament.
The battle between Henson and
Moore would be a feature of lawn
fete to be held next week to raise
money for Brentwood's recreation
park.
A fully equipped playground for
the Brentwood Riddles long has
been Mayor Mahaffey's dream and
after next week he hopes to have
the youngsters see-sawing, swinging,
shooting the chute and having one
grand old time-and have them off
the streets.
THE recreation park will be for
grown-ups as we'll. Several years
ago. as town councilman, Mahaffey
got the park project under way by
clearing some land and installing
f1rst-class horseshoe courts. Here for
three years has been held the Mary
land section of The Stars tourna-
ment.
Henson and Moore are far out
front in ringer percentages in the
Metropolitan Singles League, with lit
tie to choose between them. They
have been beating so per cent con-
sistently and shooting an occasional
game of well above 10.
Co-starring with Henson and Moore
next Wednesday, if they accept the
engagement, will be Harry Saunders,
District champion, and Temple FARRELL
Of Maryland, District intercollegiate
titleholder.
Saunders took an upset beating from
FARRELL last night in the Metropolitan
League and victory over the tall
Marylander. even if only in an exhibit
ton, would be satisfying.
FARRELL was the first to beat Saun-
ders in the league, winning all
three games. In each game the rah
rah champ threw Sc per cent ringers.
After the first skirmish, in which he
tossed SO per cent, Saunders game
steadily declined. 1t was only the
second time in six years of competition
here that Saunders was whitewashed.
Several years ago Hubbard Quantrille
plastered the former Westminster Col
lege athlete in the District champion
ship, but Saunders later regained the
title by beating Hub in hotly con-
tested final.
In another league match last night,
Ed Kruse won three straight from Pat
Casey. Kruse, who reached the late
rounds of the Maryland tournament
last year, is greatly improved pitcher
and must be reckoned with when the
firing starts next Monday night at
Brentwood.

,,iCbt,c matches.

- a match between Fred Perry
and Ellsworth Vines for the worlds
tennis championship" it was learned
today.
Vines, generally regarded as the
greatest Of the professionals, already
has been approached to play the

king Of the amateurs. If the lanky

effort will be made to line up Perry
and get approval from the British
Lawn Tennis Association.
The match. If negotiations are sue
cessful, would be played at Wimbledon
shortly after the Davis Cup challenge
round.
Vines, who Is playing in the pro-
fessional tournament at Southport
has advised the promoters he will dis
cuss the proposal when he comes to
London on Tuesday.
Vines Is Willing.
I'LL be frank with you" he told the
= Associated Press. Il went into
this game to make a living. But II
this match is for charity. guess that's
different. I'd love to play Fred"
Neither Perry nor B. L. T. A. off,
cials have been approached yet, but
in view of the match's charitable ano
patriotic character, they probably
would strain a point or two to accede
The match, first of its kind in the
history of the game, undoubtedly
would pack Wimbledon no matter
what fancy figure was asked for seats
Herbert Roper Barrett, captain Of
the British Davis Cup team and sec
rotary of the B. L. T. A, declined te
discuss the associations probable atti-
tude until officially informed Of the

DOUBLEHEADER
COMING SOON
FOR SPARTANS

Faced with doubleheader on the
home grounds next weekend, Coach
w. S. Taylor's high school cagers
are prepping daily in the gymna-
SUM.
The Spartans will take on Imper-
ial Friday night and will play re-
turn match with Herbert Hoover
high school of San Diego Saturday
night.
Although the Imperial fracas will
be a home game for that school, it
was decided to play the game in the
Central gymnasium with Imperial
acting as host. Taylor plans to start
a lineup of five crack reserve play
ers to give them q chance to show
what they can do. If they measure
up, they will be left in to play the
whole game, this being done to save
the regulars for the Hoover con-
test on the following night, the
coach said.
Lax guarding in the game with
Hoover last Saturday" Taylor stat
ed, may have been due to the hard
game the boys played the previous
night at Brawley. We will try TO
oyersome this in the return match. "

BAER ENJOYS
HIS WORKOUT

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. %. UH -
Max Baer moved on toward Miami
today, continuing his exhibition
tour which took him into the ring
here last naght against Tony Can
celia, Tampa heavyweight, in four
rounder that was laugh but scarce
ly fight.
The champion toyed with Cancel
la, never opened up at any time
and in half hour after the bout
was the chief attraction at a Lions
club benefit.
More than 10000 saw Cancella hit
Baer repeatedly, but apparently
without enough power to arouse
Baer's ire.
Buddy Baer, MaX's 236-pound
younger brother, who also was on
the card, didn't clown and didn't
waste any time. He started firing
from the hip before the opening
gong echo had died and rs seconos
later Monte Hogan of Salem, Mass,
was knocked out.
Although Make has changed his
mind again and in latest reports has
decided not to marry, the city OF
Tampa has offered him free hos
pitalization for his first born as a
gift.

/ these United States on the Aqua
tania and will arrive about six days
later by the grace of God and with
out interference.
Further, Mr.. Sturm depoSes that
as soon as the Bluebird can be
cleared through customs at New
York the entire party will entrain
for Daytona Beach, Fla, the scene
of Sir Malcom's previous world re-
cord runs.
After whetting the Bluebird up for
the task, the doughty Englishman,
weight 143, will attempt to better
his record of 272018 miles an hour,
made on the day America celebrates
as Washington's birthday, in 1888.
Mr.. Sturm reminds me that he is
not such ninny as have tried to
make him out to be, as he guessed
Campbell's speed in 1888 within
one-tenth of a mile, the day before
the run was made.
Mr.. Sturm said that had he not
been tired that day he might have
come closer than the 272 he bought
in a pool.
! When asked for a statement as
to his guess on Sir Malcolm's pos
sible speed this year, Mr.. Sturm be-
came suddenly silent.
Mr. Sturm opines that the record
run will be made as near Feb. 8 as
possible, as that is the period when
even the moon is fullest in Florida,
and it seems that when the moon
is full the tide gets ki,tenish and
comes up on the sands farther and
thus tends to make a better beach.
That is it does if the wind is out of
the proper direction and blows hard
enough to smooth the sand Suffi-
GENTLY.
And that reminds me that one
time a manager other than Mr..
Sturm asked the natives when he
first arrived how they smoothed
the beach,. E., with what tools |!
Some wit told him the hand of pro-
vidence.
Mr.: Sturm further deposes that
the Bluebird behemoth is % feet
inches long, and that its body
comes out flush with the wheel
lines. And, oh yes, the wheels on the
rear are dual, that is there are two
of them on each side of the rear
end, and they are set side, by side,
like a truck wheel, though they
will turn around much faster.

Of
SANTA ANITA
MEET SOUGHT

LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. U.P. -
Reports that Santa Anita park
would request an extension of its
current meeting until March were
current today when the California
racing commission met to assign
spring dates.
The meeting originally was sched-
uled for yesterday but was post
poned when Commissioner James
McNaughton was unable to attend
because of business.
Officials of the Los Angeles Jockey
club would not comment on reports
that an extension would be asked to
help fill out the commissions guar
antee to eastern owners that 155
days of racing would be charted on
California tracks the forepart of
1885. Under the present program,
Santa Anita is to close February %
with the 100000 Santa Anita han
dicap.
Bay Meadows is set to obtain a
30-day spring date, to start the
first or second week in March, pro-
badly March Is. Tanforan is billed
to follow Immediately after Bay
Meadows closes.
Aqua Caliente was left entirely
out of the picture although a San
Diego delegation was present to ar
que for program "cut" for the
border track. The racing board has
taken the position, unofficially, that
Aqua Caliente is entitled to no
consideration in dates inasmuch as
it does not contribute penny in
taxes to the state.
Gallant Sir came out of retire
ment yesterday at Santa Anita to
win the feature race. Sarada was a
close second and Rock x, third. Not
many bettorS were willing to take a
chance on Norman Church'S veteran
campaigner so he paid off 1920 on
straight tickets.
Flash performance of the after
noon was turned in by Whereaway
in winning the seven furlong fifth
race. The 3-year-old paid $102.20 to
win. He was ridden by Harry AL
brecht.
