NEW YORK, April 14.-Al-
though there are eight teams in
each Of the two major leagues, a
careful checkup today reveals that
no team in either league can pos
sibly finish in eighth place.
This strange conclusion Is
reached by a species Of alchemy
known only to the master minds
of baseball.
Ford Prick, prexy Of the National
League, and himself an old mas
ter hinder from away back, has
his own explanation Of this mathe-
NAUTICAL phenomenon.

Last night at Temple George,
anchoring for Sunrise Bakery In
the Temple Major League, ripped
off five spares and two double
header strikes for q 1879 game, q
new city record, topping the 1913
game turned in BY the other
"wrong:foot" ace, whip" Litch'
field, last year. Lloyd Draper
was on the foul line. Arville
Ebersole, w. c. D. A. secretary,
is expected to okay the mark to-
day.
The sensational game came
utterly unexpected. Having
rolled two mediocre games Of 103
and lit. Honey opened the final
game with two spares. topping
them with q double-header strike.
A flat fifth box was followed by
three spares and he wound up
the game with another cracking
double-header for the 1879.
Georges set was disappoint-
ing 419.
Teammates Catch Fever
His Sunrise Bakery teammates
caught the fever and supported
George with four sizeable games
for a new all-time Temple alleys
record team game Of 701.
Francis Robertson contributed
a 13l game, Bernie Christiani
1914, John Olivetti 1877, Alfred
"Cutie" Hayre 100, to the big
total, but first two games Of $40
and $50 gave them an 1901 SET
far below the seasons record.
Perez Wolfe was one Of the
first to shake Honey's hand,
though Perez had chalked UP a
new seasons high individual game
record with a ITS second game.
Perez piled up his big game in
the final six boxes with a triple
header strike and three spares. He
only had 43 in the fourth box and
like Honey, he thanked his huge
effort with small games, rolling a
395 set for the evening.

However, Wolfe and his Dixie
Pig pals shot enough duckpins to
register one Of the biggest upSets
Of the season, whitewaShing the

FUNDS COMMITTEE.
GIVEN AFF|DAV|TS.
"Corruption" by New Deal
Is Alleged in Dozen Sent
to Senate Group.
BY the Associated Press.

While Democrats and Republicans
hurled spy" charges at each other in
the battle over Pennsylvania's w. P.
A.. the Republican National Commit
tee announced today it had sent a
dozen new affidavits Of alleged New
Deal corruption" to the Senate Cam
paign Funds Committee.
Today's affidavits, the Republican
National Committee said in a state
ment, were for the most part from
W. P A. workers who had been fired
by their foremen, acting on orders
trickling down from higher-ups, for
refusing to knuckle under and swear
allegiance to Roosevelt"
The spy charge was first hurled by
Harry L. Hopkins, w. P. A. admin
istrator, who said yesterday that
agents of the Republican National
Committee circulated among W. p. A..
workers. took them out and fed
them. and probably drank with them"
to obtain statements of political coer-
cion from them. He said Sam Jones,
chief of the Republican publicity Office
here, is well known in labor spy cir
cles"
William Hard. the Republicans
radio commentator. later broadcast a
letter saying Democratic spies were
working on every job" and that no
employe dared express anti-Roosevelt
views "on pain of being discharged"
Hard said the letter was anonymous
because of fear"
To Hopkins assertion that Jones
had agents among the w. P. A. prof.
ects posing as w. P. A. workers and
passing themselves of as legitimate
newspaper men to get stories from
workers." the Republican publicist re-
piled:
Our men do not misrepresent them
selves as newspaper men, but most of
them are better newspaper men than
the so-called information directors of
the w. P. A."
Hopkins charged that Jones was re-
sponsible for the circulation at a
Southern rally of picture showing
Mrs. Roosevelt with Negro. This
was denied by Jones.

PORT HENRY, N. Y, October o.
Gems Of Diamond Jim" Brady, the
magnificent, lured the widow Of Col.
E. H. r. Green into signing away her
claims to the colonel's s8o, 900 900 for
tune, she contended today in her fight
for his estate.
Brady's transportation piece" a
miniature train studded with dia-
monds, was on display at the Offices of
New York trust company in 1917.
before her marriage, the colonel's
widow testified, and the colonel asked
her if she wanted to see it. This was
before their marriage.
Arrived there, she related, she un-
Willingly signed away her rights to
the fortune, founded by Hetty Green,
the colonels mother.
The pre-nuptial agreement she
signed, she said, gave her S625 900 and
an $4,000 annuity in return for re-
nouncing her claims to the estate, but
she believed the colonel merely was
giving ner pin money.
Excluded from the record in yes
terday's court session was this state
ment by the colonel's widow: He
told me, I don't want you running up
bills on me after we are married, and
I am arranging some pin money for
you"
She did not read or look at the
paper she signed, her attorney as
serted.
Her attorney asked, What was your
attitude toward Col. Green in those
months before you were married."
Il was very happy" she responded,
"and I loved him. wanted to marry
the man loved"
Col. Green died in Lake Placid, N.
Y, last June g. His widow already
has won a preliminary court fight for
his property in Texas.
Waging the fight against the
colonels widow, the former Mabel
Harlow of Chicago. the colonel's sis
ter. Mrs. Matthew AStor Wilks Of New
York, has filed for probate here the
1908 will of the colonel, giving the
estate to his mother. or. in the event
of her death, to Mrs. Wilks.
