lobbying into the open by requiring that all paid leg

NeWAir Program
Makes Debut
Tonight
BY R. E. CAIRNCROFT

The new Chrysler "Airshow," in
which Alexander Gray, baritone.
returns to radio with Charles Han
son Towne, editor and columnist,
and Mark Warnow's Orchestra,
goes on tonight at 8 over WJSV.
The show will have chorus Of
IA voices, too, something for
every one, so to speak.
Tomorrow:
The light heavyweight title fight
between Jock MacAvoy and John
Henry Lewis. VOL will pick it up
at 1o:30.
WJSV will broadcast the run,
ming of the Grand National,
March 81. And then Publicity
Director Ann Gillis will know
whether the ticket she got for a
Christmas present should have
been stockings instead.
Lee Patrick, dramatic player
heard over MICS network, is the
daughter of the late Warren Pa
trick, who until his death last
Spring was treasurer for Ringing
Brothers circus and later pub
Usher of the Show World.
You can expect the air to be
filled with political sound and
fury on all the local stations from
now until convention time. The
broadcasting companies, in the
best tradition Of public interest,
allow the parties free time until
the conventions. Then Of course,
when the candidates are selected,
the parties have to put it on the
line to convince the voters by air.
"The Forty Martyrs of Sebaste"
will be the theme Of the Ave Maria
Radio League program on VOL
Sunday at $50 o'clock. This pro
gram, conducted by the Domini-
can fathers Of st. ChriStopher's
Inn, at Garrison, N. Y, obtains
most Of it's talent from Broadway

B. {. Five Wins
115-Lb. Title

The title in the 115-pound class
Of the District A. A. U. basketball
tournament was a settled item
today. It is in the possession
Of the Boys Club Of Washington
Americans" who defeated the
Northeast Boys Club, 115-pound-
erS, ~ to 26, last night.
The game was a thriller. It
did not end in regulation time,
as an extra period was necessary.
Shewbridge, Of the victors, shot
the basket in the overtime which
decided the issue.
- Bovello Plumbers entered the
finals in the 145-pound class by
defeating the Cooks Flashes,
1921. The Twin Ooaks Balck
Hawks also entered the finals
by triumphing over the Merrick
Boys Club, 80 to 25.
The Plumbers and Hawks will
battle for the title tomorrow at

situation and threw to third or
some other base.
Bluege Shows How
This, of course, is time-honored
theory of defensive baseball, but
Lewis gummed up plays by leaving
third base open. Twice he permit
ted Bill Starr to slide into the
bag. Another time Buddy ran q
base runner toward the plate, in
stead of permitting the catcher to
run him back toward third. These
little blunders drew the criticism
of Harris, and Lewis listened in
tently.
Ossie Bluege, the old master Of
infield play, stepped into the drill
and at once the inner defense be-
came rock-ribbed. There were no
blunders with Bleuge guarding the
turn for home. There was a snap
and a bang to the moves that be-
spoke the presence Of the expert.
AS a matter Of fact, it might be
a good thing for Harris to con-
slider opening the season with
Bluege on this base. He will be
an inspiration to Lewis, and get
ting used to fire by watching it,
will be, or should be great thing
for the kid.
Giving youngsters time to season
on the bench was one Of the poll
cies followed by John j. McGraw,
and it paid dividends in pennants.
OF course, some kids step right
in, sprinkled with star dust from
the day they report. They are the
exceptions, however.
There was passing confusion
on balls hit to right center and
center field, with Travis staying
back on the grass and Myer 60
ing out. This, however, will not
last for long. Myer is too eX-
perienced to get in the way when
serious play starts.
Defensive OutfieId
Through all Of the drill, fact
evident since the squad reported,
was emphasized. washington is
going to have one of the finest
outfields, defensively, in the his
tory of baseball in the Capital.
Hill, Powell and Stone played
out there, and boys, they fairly
flew after the ball. They threw
we'll and they just looked like
ball players.

Every basketball team needs a
capable center, and, in Elwood
Ogle, the Hyattsville High Five
had such a player this season.
It was largely through Ogle's
ability to get the tap that Mount
Rainier was defeated for the
Prince Georges County champion
ship this season. Besides this
jumping ability, Elwood showed
his county opponents a mean
game, both from a scoring and
floor play standpoint.
Elwood will be back for next
years team and it will be a bless
ing to Bill Yarnell, coach. He is
a junior and in addition to basket
ball, the lad is a trackman of

When Coach Charlie "Chief"
Guyon finally gets time to con-
fine all his efforts to the Eastern
High School baseball team, he's
going to find eight former Police
Boys Club No. youths practi-
cally "on" the nine as regulars.
The eight candidates have that
much talent and background be-
hind them. All played sensational
ball for the Police No. team
last year and now that they're
at high school, it is the idea Of
Police Boys Club directors they'll
have little trouble making good
from the start.
Two of the eight are pitchers,
namely Dick Carver and Wade
Pembroke. Two others are catch
ers, Leo MarcupoloS and Louis
Onvepo, while the remaining two
are outfielders, Kirk Miller (no
relation to The Times Sports Edi-
tori and Bob STANCE.
Carver hurled two no-hit norun
games for the Police No SIS last
year, one against the Joe Kuhel
MidgetS and the other against the
New Deals.
Fox LaudS Lad
Morris Fox, athletic director at
the club, believes the youngSter
definitely "has the stuff" and will
be sorely disappointed if he
doesn't go to the top Of the ladder
in scholastic baseball activities.
The presence Of Carver and the
rest Of these youngsters surely
should be helpful to Coach Charlie
"Chief" Guyon. The mentor lost
many q capable performer after
graduation time last June and will
need promising players to fill
vacancies left by the departures Of
such topnotchers as Lefty Joe Sui
nvan, Mike MikalaSki, backstop.
and Joe CriSaful, outfielder.
Guyon plans putting full steam
ahead" with his baseball candi-
dates at Eastern as soon as the
Glen Falls basketball tournament
is over. The Eastern five defends
its title in that test late this
month.
Getting back to the Police Boys
Club and Morris Fox, that ener-
getic individual has practically
completed plans for the clubs
third annual basebaA league sea-
son.
For Midget Teams
The circuit Is for midget teams
and Fox says IL teams are ex-
pected to compete this year. In
1885 eight mines battled for t h
championship, with the Police
Boys Club No. 5 team triumph
ing.
Eight teams have already lined
up for competition, including the
Michigan Parks, Colmar Manors,
New Deals, Jos Kuhels, Park
Views, Police No. S and Police
No. II.
The Ernest W. Brown trophy
will be at stake, with the winning
team also receiving gold base
balls. Games are planned for Sun
days on Monument Lot diamonds
at p. M, with the schedule
starting in May.
An unusual feature will be the
use of a special baseball to be
".ouilt and designed" for league
play. Major Ernest W. Browns
signature will be on the ball to

LINCOLN, Neb., April 27.-Prof
John P. Weller, 40, foreign language
instructor at the University Of Ne
braska, today shot and wounded DR..
Harry Kurz, head Of the department,
and then killed himself on the uni
versity campus.
The university's Board of Regents
had ordered Weller released last Satur-
day. Chancellor E. A. Burnett said
"Weller's instruction in the depart
ment was not considered good and
his relations with the chairman OF
the department were not satisfactory"
The regents gave Weller q years
leave of absence at half salary, ef-
fective from next September l, with
out the privilege Of return at the
close Of his leave"
Weller arrived at the university
early today and went to DR.. Kurz's
Office. Soon both ran into the cor
ridor. Two shots were fired from
Weller's .32-caliber pistol and one
struck DR.. Kurz in the right wrist.
He fell to the floor and Weller fed.
When police surrounded Weller on
the campus they said he pressed his
revolved against his chest and fired
a bullet above his heart. He was
rushed to q hospital, but died few
minutes later.

Two pieces of twine about inches
long, with which 18-year-old Hilda
Utterback said she had been bound
after she had been kidnapped from her
farm home near Hamilton, Va, Satur-
day night, were turned over to Sheriff
E. S. Adrian today.
The sheriff, after he had examined
the twine, said he was at loss to un-
derstand how the girls wrist and neck
could have been tied in the manner
described to him. The pieces of string
were too short to have been wrapped
more than once or twice around the
girls wrist. Sheriff Adrian said neither
of the pieces given him was long
enough to have been used to bind the
girl in that manner.
He said they were given to him by
Miss Utterback, who assured him they
were the pieces used by her abductors.

A new possibility of forecasting
weather for approximately two weeks
in advance was reported to the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences this after
noon by DR.. Charles G. Abbot, secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Definite patterns of temperature
variation for different seasons and
different locations accompany in
creases and decreases in solar radia-
tion. He has worked out these pat
terms for three places in the United
States-Washington. st. Louis and
Helena.
This basis of forecasting, DR.. Abbot
emphasized, at present is purely i'm
pirical and difficult to explain theo-
retically. It is quite distinct from the
cyclic weather variations accompany
ing cyclic solar radiation changes
which have been worked out In the
past, extending over long periods Of
months and even years.

Weather Forecast of TauO Weeks
Reported Possible by DR.. abbot

The amount of solar heat falling
on the earth's surface from day to
day varies. The most obvious Of its
variations, DR.. Abbot said, are falls
and rises through a range seldom ex-
ceeding seven-tenths Of per cent
and seldom lasting more than week.
The temperature variations from
normal accompanying such falls and
rises may reach maxima as great as
10 degrees Fahrenheit, he showed.
When the solar radiation output
staits to fall in January, for example.
DR.. Abbot said, there Is q specific
pattern Of rising and falling tempera-
ture in the City Of Washington for
a 17-day period. The same is true
from the time the radiation starts
to rise. These temperature patterns
for rising and falling radiation are
opposite, as the right hand is to the
left. Both rising and falling patterns
are quite different for February, but
