Furr Is After
New Foes

Phil Furr was after more fields
to conquer today. The local lad
is that ambitious.
You see, he won a unanimous
decision over Mickey Serrian last
night at the Arena. The bout
went 10 rounds and a capacity
crowd was on hand.
1t was close fight, with Furr
giving the impression of never
extending himself. He did land
many a telling blow at long
ranges, however, staggering his
Scranton, Pa, opponent in six OF
the 10 rounds.
Serrian's best was when the
milling was in close. Body blows
upon body blows were rained at
Furr, but the local boy always
came out of them with almost
unbelievable stamina.
The judges, DR.. o. o. Singer
and Charley Dunn cast their bal
lots for Fur, while Referee
Denny Hughes score card was
the same. Furr weighed LAG;
Serrian, 146.
In the supporting features,
Johnny Dean, North Carolina,
and Pete Galiano, Baltimore,
fought to a sensational draw;
Mickey Tardugno kayoed Willie
Felice; AL Parks won by decision
over Roy Manley and Harry
Thompson outpointed Tommy
Hoover.

diversified Cups
Used on Local
Golf Course

Oy NEOnO6 "A. SANNE SON
Par is being rent aSunder by
Congressional Country Club golfers
these days-and the diversified cups
on the temporary greens can be
blamed.
These cups are 10 inches in
diameter and the regular cups are

for the long 6,700-yard course. Par
is 37-35-72.
Bespeaks 1886 Caliber
And despite the big cups, Pea
cocks score is astounding. The
former Indian Spring ace hadn't
played in two months. This early
proficiency indicates what may be
expected of Peacock in tournament
play this year.
All told, Peacock clustered nine
brides and an eagle. He was
over par once, that being on the
second green, the only green
whereon the regulation cup is be-
ing used. He had no three-putt
green's charged against him and
two-putted the second, third,
seventh and fourteenth. He
used single puts on the others,
except the fifth and ninth, chip
ping into the fifth for an eagle
three and into the ninth for a
birdie two.

Named Most Valuable

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-Five
Youngsters making bids for major
league fame this spring were
named the most valuable players
in their respective leagues in re-
cent years. DiMaggio, now yam
kee, Of the Pacific Coast League
George Pucinelli, up from the IN
ternational League, and now with
the Athletics; Mike Ryba, out OF
the American Association, a Car
dinal hopeful; Rudy York, up with
the Tigers from the Texas League,
and AL Milnar, getting a tryout
with the Indians, who came from
= the Southern Association.
Pucinelli will have no trouble
cinching right field on the Ath-
letics, hard up as they are for
talent; Ryba will be kept for
relief mound duty by the Cardi-
nails, and DiMaggio can fit well
into center for the Yankees. But
Rudy York has to eliminate such
names as Simmons, Fox, Walker
and Goslin in order to catch on
with the Tiger outfield, and al
though he played first base for
Beaumont, there is a chap named
Greenberg on the Tigers who has
shown no signs of slipping yet.
And Pitcher AL Milnar seems
to face no easier a task than
does York. Cleveland seems pretty
well fortified for pitchers in Har.
der, Hudlin, Lee, Winegarner,
Allen, Hildebrand and Blaeholder.
Outside Of that seven, Milnar

Conflicting versions of the
cause of the accident were told

section of the bus was described
by one faction as the result of
a head on crash. On the other
hand, the position of the badly
damaged auto in a vacant lot
where it had been thrown from

AuNCEhAtAOhnA NNO"S
John H. Fahey, chairman of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
today struck back at Henry P
Fletcher, chairman of the Repub
lican National Committee, who
issued a statement criticising the
board. In letter to Fletcher, he
said, in part:
at is evident that the state
mentS in your press release rela-
tive to the work of the Hole
are based upon information con-
veyed to you which is both in
complete and inaccurate. The
result is a series of unfortunate
implications which, in the inter-
est of millions of our citizens as
well as thousands of financial
institutions, call for correction.
HOOVER'S APPROVAL
"In criticiZing the Federal
Government for coming to the
relief Of urban home owners and
saving more than a million
families from the loss of their
homes and eviction, your in
fOrmant is apparently unaware
that the first attempt to do
this important work was under
taken by the Seventy-SecOnd
Congress with the approval Of
President Hoover"
Fahey said Comptroller Gen
eral McCarl has full access to all
records and accounts of the cor
poration. He added:
"YOur statement raises the
question as to whether our
loans have been made to deServ-
ing perSOnS-tO those clearly in
danger of losing their homes.
The regular procedure of the
corporation provided that the
application of mOrtgagOr
should be supported by a state
ment of the mortgage that he
was unwilling to renew the loan
and felt obliged to fOreclOSe.
ONLY HOPE FOR OWNERS
"Under the requirements of
the corporation the loan file also
had to contain evidence that the
loan could not be refinanced
elsewhere. The truth is that the
thousands of savings banks, life
insurance companies, building
and loan associations, CONNER
cial banks and other institutions
whose mortgages this corpora
ton took over felt that as truS-
tee institutions they could not
under the conditions which ex-
listed continue to carry these
loans.
"The fact that more than
100000 of the applications filed
have been rejected by the cor
pOratiOn while hundreds of thou
sands of additional applications
obviously ineligible were not
even accepted, is conclusive evil
dence that the corporation ex-
erciSed every reasonable precau-
ton to eliminate loans which
were not eligible under the law"

Of Major Antonio Locatelli, one of
Italy's premier fliers, and three
others in an ambush by Ethiopi-
ans in Jimma province was con-

First reports, which were de-

Italians lost their lives in what
amounted to a virtual massacre,
but the official statement listed
only four.
The dead in addition to
Locatelli hero of many war and
peacetime flying exploits, were
Gen. Vincenzo Magliocco of the
italian Air Force; Col. Mario Cal
derini and an unidentified en-
gineer. They we're accompanied by

spared.
