CLENIENCY DENIED

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 13.- Tn e State Court of Pardons last Satur- day decided that Bruno Richard Hauptmann must die for the Lind bergh baby murder.
 After an all-day session, the Court issued the terse announcement that Hauptmann's application for clem- ency was today denied"
 The decision ended all but the most forlorn hopes for Hauptmann to escape the electric chair next Fri day night. His only hope lies either with Governor Harold c. Hoffmann or the courts, and both hopes are desperate ones.
 Remaining Hopes
 The Governor might delay the ex- ecution by reprieve of not more than ninety days, but even this pow CT is doubted by both the Governor and Attorney General.
 Hauptmann's chances of further delay through the courts lay in three directions: a habeas corpus ac- tion by the Federal court; an ap- peal for new trial to Justice Thom- as w. Trenchard. his trial judge: or a new request to the U. S. Su- preme Court to review proceedings. The latter was rejected once.
 
 Defense Attitude
 The defense attitude is best voiced by the prisoners wife, who said: T don't know anything about law, but I realize there can't be much left to fight with now. But we will go on to the end of the road"
 Mrs. Hauptmann was visibly shak-

DJIBOUTI, French Somaliland, Jan. 13. The Fascist invaders campaigns are being seriouly hamp- cred by weather, which is opposite on the two main frontiers.
 Troop movements in the north are hindered by the driving early rains, which are turning Italian constructed roads into mud holes or washing them away. The lack of water and terrific heat in the desert regions in the south, to- gether with malarial levers, also complicated the invaders drive.
 It is reported that the Italians are pushing their aerial attacks on southwestern river valley settle ments. A neutral observer said that air squadrons bomb courses be- tween Shibeli, Ganale and Doria for two hours daily.
 The crash of an Italian bomber on a hillside near Asrnara took the lives of three Italian soldiers.

AT STEEL PLANTS
Orders Still Pouring in Ex.
cept on Lines Where
Books Are Closed.
BY the Associated Press.

d. Tie AcSOCldLSQ fIeSS.
NEW YORK, December 9.-steel
companies have the heaviest untitled
tonnages on their books since 1929.
and orders are still pouring in except
in those products for which books
have been closed ut fourth-quarter
prices, Iron Age said today in the
weekly review of the industry.
Makers are exerting all pressure to
complete shipments OF these orders
by January 81 so they can realize
at the earliest moment higher prices
announced for first quarter, the trade
journal says.
Mills have announced that on
identified construction projects, in
Guiding railroad equipment" the re-
view said. they will protect con-
tractors at fourth-quarter prices on
all jobs quoted on by December 81
with the understanding that binding
contracts shall be entered into by jan
uary 81 and specifications shall be
in by March 81, with rolling and
shipment at mill convenience"
This concession to the construction
field has revived many inactive projects
and will hasten others that have been
tagging. AS an example, one steel
company has given price protection on
II oil refners. Much of such busi-
ness will not be rolled until the second
quarter
Recent railroad buying. the publica-
ton said, which mills estimate at
100000 tons OF rails and about 270,000
tons of track accessories, will con-
tribute in large measure to the support
of steel production in the first quarter
Steel ingot production this week was
estimated at 76l2 per cent, but. the
review said, it was possibly higher
in view Of the fact that actual output
in November, at 1905 per cent, was
several points above weekly estimates,
indicating tonnage records are being
made at several plants.
The Iron Age composite price ad-
vanced to $3.50. within 25 cents of
its peak for the year.

Pros in Challenge Match.

ONE of those challenge match af-
~ fairs that Bob Barnett wants to
see played in plenty around Wash
ington will come off Friday afternoon
at Chevy Chase, where the red
headed Chevy Chase mentor and Leo
Walper will clash with John Bass,
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. champion,
and Ralph Beach, who has led the
mid-Atlantic area for two years in the
sectional qualifying rounds for the
national open The match will start
about 1870 o'clock.
Bob thinks that only by such
matches against good opposition can
any golfer-pro or amateur-develop
his game, and he intends to do his
bit toward staging them. OF course
he has in his mind the tough test
next week, when he and Walper will
play in the national open along with
Witty Cox of Kenwood and Mel
Shorey of East Potomac Park.
Several Washingtonians are plan
ming to watch the open champion
ship, among them those indefatigable
championship followers, Lou Laudick
and Clyde Asher of Columbia. Ted
Rutley of Kenwood also will be among
those watching the pros do their stun
at BaltuSrol. Asher and Laudick
have watched a flock of champion
ships over the. years. Clyde used to
try to see every shot played by all
the top-notchers, but he has found
that Is impossible, and nowadays he
sees a lot of shots through the bin
oculars. Perhaps that is where he
developed that fine putting stroke
which is the envy Of some Of his pals

and others knock 'em in.

Very much up in the running for
Sarazen's title were Dave Hackney. the
seasoned Lowell campaigner, and two
amateur stars. Wilfred Crossley of Nor

- CLUB women golfers today had
a firm foothold on first place in
the first womans team matches. With
only one more match to be played,
scheduled for June 16 at Manor, the
feminine clubswingers from the big
club near Rockville held first place
with point total of "a, following their

day at Chevy Chase. The host club
players, winners of the team contests
for the last two years, drew bye and
slid back into a seCond-place tie with
Indian Spring at 28ia points. Congress
sional and Chevy Chase will clash In
the final contest of the season, with
Chevy Chase needing a decisive VIC
tory to win for the third consecutive
year. Other first team matches found
Kenwood beating Army-Navy. 5la to
31a. and Indian Spring beating Manor,
71a to 1l2.
Columbia leads in the second team
matches after the contests played yes
terday at Army-Navy with a total of
80 points. Results of these matches
were: Beaver Dam and Columbia split
even, both winning AZ points; Chevy
Chase defeated Washington, to /;
Congressional defeated Kenwood, 61a
to 21a.
Congressional also leads in the third
division following matches played at
Kenwood with the following results
Chevy Chase defeated Congressional.
Z to 2; Kenwood defeated Manor, 5Ka

mont, to o: Columbia defeated

That final match between Chevy

is sure to be a sizzler, for both teams
will call in their strongest players. In
all the team schedule for the women
this year has been a success.
Three-score amateurs were Strug-

A PRETTY good golfer In
~ any company, Commissioner
~ George E. Allen, prabably the
4 n best golfer VINO ever neld any
important job in the District govern
ment, today is going around with his
chest out. Not that George normally
does that sort of thing, but any fellow
who plays that tough Burning Tree
course in rs whacks deserves a flock
of congratulations. That's what Com
missioner Allen did, and If he had
been able to stroke the ball at all well
on the last nine holes, he might have
busted the ball around in better than
the par of 70.
He played in little private tourna-
ment staged by Banker Robert ".
Fleming and gathered in all the

par SO first nine, was a gem, but
the 40 coming home wasn't SO hot.
, However, the rs Is Commissioner

kind of recognition as one of our

THE argument still waxed hot to-
day at Columbia as to whether
a challenge match for the Cy Cum
mings team match trophy was to be
played next Tuesday and you could
find takers either way for small
wager on just what will happen fol-
lowing the tie in the qualification
round yesterday between two pairs
for the honor(?) of playing Donald
Woodward and Miller B. STEVENSON
for the mug they have held for five
years. Golf Chairman Martin r.
West and Dana Belser tied at 70 with
Albert r. Mackenzie and Luther

rub. No one could decide whether
there will be playoff before the chal-
lenge round, or just what will be
done.
Meanwhile. Mackenzie is going
ahead with plans for Colorado vaca
ton, starting Tuesday, and West has
to be in New York on Tuesday,
STEVENSON and Woodward are keeping
quiet about it all, but there's plenty
of good-natured conversation about
the tie.

will play" said Red Banagan. "Of
course, I may be wrong, but it looks
