IDLE YESTERDAY

NEW YORK, May 14.-Carl
HubbelI, who was presented the
award as the most valuable player
in 1896 day before yesterday,
showed his appreciation by setting
new record for pitchers to shoot
at. He won his twenty-first ball
game in row when he let Nation
al League Leader Pittsburgh Pr
rates down with but six safeties
and came out victorious, to 2,
behind some nifty stick work by
his teammates.
At the same time, King Carl
snapped the Buccaneers consecu-
tive victory streak at five straight
and thereby reduced their lead to
two-and~a-half games as the Red
birds were winning their contest
with the Pills. Three other rum
ners-up gained on the BUGS, also.
The Giants, who defeated them,
the Cubs, who downed the Bees,
and Dodgers, who whipped Gin
cinnati Reds.
Terry's men nicked Brandt for
13 safeties and five runs. The
Pirates committed an error that
helped in the scoring.

high. Collecting only seven hits,
the Redbirds took their second
straight game from Philadelphia
Phillies, 5 to A. Four Phil mis-
cues aided the Cards. Warneke,
who was knocked out of the box,
being replaced by Johnson, was
credited with the victory.
Brooklyn Dodgers, with Frank
house doing mound duty, took the
Reds into camp, 6 to a. Both
teams collected eight safeties.
Wild Bill Hallahan did the twirl-
ing for the Reds.
Chicago Cubs, although outhit,
downed Boston Bees, s to 6.
Detroit Tigers and New York
Yankees pulled up closer to the
idle Philadelphia Athletics and
Cleveland Indians, as Boston Red
Sox tumbled from third place to

The Tigers shutout the Red
Sox A to behind excellent twirl-

C. U. TERP RAID
BALKED AT MD.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Nov. 19.
A band Of 10 Georgetown Uni
verSity freshmen, inspired by an
overdose of enthusiasm over the
annual Maryland Georgetown grid
iron battle in Washington tomor-
row afternoon, sailed forth to the
Maryland campus last night with
the intention of abducting the 600
pound bronze Terrapin memorial
from its pedestal before Ritchie
Coliseum. II
They returned home bearing
only a lot of injured pride, bruised
bodies, and a healthy bawling out
from Maryland authorities. They
met unexpected oppoSition-about
400 Maryland students-ready and
willing to do battle for the honor
Of the "Terp."
The Hilltoppers were surprised
by a counter attack while prying
the terrapin from its concrete
base.
The invasion is said to have
been in reprisal for the raid
staged on the Georgetown campus
by Maryland students last year.

era faces.
All right. Have it your own
way, but that is what William D.
Bergman, administrative assistant
and chief clerk of the Navy De
partment, says-and definitely.
BERGMAN SPEAKS
Mr.. Bergman, an alert business
like official who has spent many,
many summers in Government
personnel work and therefore
speaks with some authority, does
not think that the girls who work
in the Navy Department are,
generally speaking, any better
looking than the girls who work
in the other Government depart
ments. Not that Mr.. Bergman
really means to cast any asper-
Sions on the Navy Department
feminine employees, but to him it's
entirely q matter Of personal
opinion.
AN OLD STORY
To Mr.. Bergman the request to
answer the general charge that
favoritism Is shown in Govern
ment departments was an old
story.
"I've been in Government
personnel work for many years."
he said, land it's an old, old
story"
AS for the specific charge that
the Navy officers like pretty girls
and have them, that is another
matter. 1t was very embarrassing
for the interviewer also-like ask
ing a man if he hired his stenog-
rapher because she looked like
Dietrich or Garbo. Usually men
don't admit those things where
their wives can hear them. AS for
Mr.. Bergman, he said:
IT think it's a myth. Any
way, it's just a matter Of indi-
vidual taste, or adventuresome
spirit, But the Navy doesn't do
things that way.
"Why, if a man doesn't pick
the most efficient person for a
job it will show in the amount
of work produced in his unit
and then he's the one who will
get the black eye.
SEEK EFFICIENCY
"I don't know anything about
the particular case or cases
Senator Ellender has in mind,
but as a general proposition
there are no politics in picking
the personnel in this depart
ment. The officers come and
60 and we want efficiency.
"As for promotions Congress
hasn't given us any money for
promotions for. a number Of
years. The only way we can get
promotions is by saving up when
a person quits, dies or is trans
ferred and we can start the new
one in at the minimum grade
and give whatever the difference
is to someone who deserves a
promotion.

CRASH VICTIM
CHOKES ON Pipe

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Nov. 10.
Patrick Brown, 5S-year-old retired
railroad blacksmith, choked to
death when a pipe he was smok-
ing was rammed down his throat
in an automobile accident in which
another passenger was fatally in
jured near here last night.
Police said that Brown, who
lived at 610 I st. N. W., Washing
ton, was cut from the wreckage
with blow torch.
Mrs. Kathleen Hadderson, so,
Of ass N st. S. W., Washington,
died at the Alexandria Hospital
this morning from injuries re-
ceived in the crash. She sustained
a fractured skull, arm and leg and
lost one eye.
The two were riding in an auto
mobile which crashed into the
rear Of truck on the Richmond
Highway five miles south of here.

woman's son, is being held by po-
lice on homicide charge pending

The Washington times., 1937-11-19

The inquest into the shooting
which took place at 624 Eleventh
st. N. E. shortly after midnight
Wednesday, is expected to follow
the inquest into the death Of
Stanley Duda, youthful fireman
who died of injuries received in
an automobile accident. The first
inquest is to start at II O'Clock
today.
According to police, Mrs. Evans,
who also used her maiden name
of Love, had been living with
White several months. The victim,
who died in Casualty Hospital a
few hours after being wounded in
the head, was shot through the
right temple with his own .38
caljber revolver, which the woman
toli police she snatched from a
dresser drawer after the man had
pointed a rifle at her. The rifle,
an old Army make, long obsolete.
was found near Whites body.
Mrs. Evans, who is separated
from her husband in Wheeling,
w. Va, told police that she shot
White in self-defense following a
bitter quarrel which resulted from
his accusations that she had been
going around with other men.
White, according to police, also
was estranged from his wife.
When police arrived at the
scene, after being called by enigh-
bors who said they heard two shots
fired, they found the woman hold
ing a towel to the mans wound.

Shot down from ambush near

he was believed to have been the
first Of five marked for the vic.

least one Of them by newspaper
columnist last week.
Cedric Adams, the newspaper
man, told police the intended vic
tim mentioned by an underworld
tipster, was William Brown, presi-
dent of the General Drivers Union.
NOT THE ONLY ONE
Given this inkling that Corco-
ran was not the only one slated
to die, police soon after received
similar reports from a variety Of
sources.
Wives of two labor leaders said
they had received anonymous
threats against their husbands and
associates, while A. G. Bastis said
he had learned from a secret

Behncke declared that a petit

The Oman held his hands in
