 Hollywood - There never have been so many visitors on film set as are gathered around the big ice rink where Sonia Henie and her ballet are skating.
 There are executives and lieu tenant-executives and stooges and friends, actors and actresses, im- portant people from other studios, friends of important people, and correspondents.
 Also there are 300 dress extras, 80 skaters, a girls orchestra and about 100 technicians, Counting installa- ton of the rink, with 16 miles of re- frigeration pipes, this is the most expensive set ever built. The entire interior of a sound stage has been turned into pavilion, with the rink surrounded on four sides by specta- tor balconies made of chromium and supported by lighted walls and columns of glass brick.
 The extras have nothing to do except sit at their tables and ap- plaud. Sometimes the spectators applaud, too. The show they're seeing is unlike anything ever staged anywhere. But it will be staged; off, cials had seen only few minutes of the first rehearsal before they were deep in plans for taking the ice ballet to- whatever American and Canadian cities have rinks large enough for the performance.
 Forgot an Old Timer
 The skaters are all expert now, though few are ballet dancers who never had been on ice until a few weeks ago. The majority are mem bers of college hockey teams. The director, Harry Losee, was a solo dancer himself; appeared at the Metropolitan and with the San Car 10 Opera Company, and had his own dance troupes. Also he did the chorcography for two recent Broad way productions, "The Show Is On" and At Home Abroad"
 Hollywood didn't remember Losee when he came here on an emergency job of polishing up the dance num- bers in the last Astaire-Rogers pie ture. Actually he's an old-timer here appeared in - Blood and Sand" After that, he danced.
 When ne was shown the first Henie picture and its weak-ankled ensemble, and was asked what he thought might be possible in the way of an ice ballet, he said there was no telling what might be accom- plished if they hired real skaters.
 So they hired real skaters, and the result is sweep and speed of action that has astonished everybody. It's so fast, indeed, that several of the

It turns out that 8 meddling mother was responsible for most of the unfavorable impressions created lately by the singing comedienne.

 SQUAD CAN WIN
One Victory in Two Har- yard Games Will Clinch
 Championship
lBy United Pressl

T h Eastern Intercollegiate League swung into its final week of the season today with Yale lead- ing the race, and needing but one victory in two remaining games to clinch the first title for the blue since 1892.
 The two games between Yale and Harvard on Tuesday and Wednes- day are the last on the schedule. Leading the Crimson by a full game, the Ellis can win the championship by taking either contest. Yale drubbed Princeton 13-4 last week for season record of eight wins and two losses.
 Green Out
 It was the seventh victory for Ted Horton, who pitched only seven innings 50 he could rest up for to- morrow's game against the Cantabs. The win laso eliminated Dart mouths last hoep for the race to end in three-way tie. Rolfe Paine of Princeton got three hits in five attempts to increase his batting average to .452 and virtually clinch the legauc hitting title and the Charles H. Blair bat. Only Yale's Eddie Collins, Jr., 50 nof the Bos- ton Red Sox general manager, has a chance to overtake him. Collins, with a mark of .305, will need at least five more hits if he hopes to head the Tiger sluggcr.

Thomas Club Leads With 2 Heart Games Ahead;
 Hills Await Results

For the second time in as many games the Sacred Hearts outhit their rivals and yet lost the game, Sundays 4-2 win by the Tribunes being "heartbreaker" for pitcher Johnny Jablonowsl1i who held the Tribes to three hits. By the same token 1t was the Heart pitcher who lost his own game by hitting two batterS in succession during the eight inning, which, combined with Fills boot of a grounder, filled the bases and then forced in two runs. North End Thomas Club shut out the Recreations 18-0 while the Washington Hills, now in second place pinned a 5-2 setback on the Brooklyn A. c.
 The big blowoff comes this week when the Hearts and Thomas Club attempt to get their playoff game in the records for the third time, and then hook up Sunday in the City Amateur League feature. The result of the two games will have much to do with the champion ship, as the Tommies are now lead- ing the league again.
 Errors
 Showing at their best, the Tribes took advantage of some plain and fancy juggling by Heart players in the second inning, got themselves a two run lead and protected 1t with might and main though un- able to do anything of importance with Jablonowski's slantS. An er- TOT in the sixth made 1t possible for the defending champions to tie the score, but the eight inning told the story and 1t was all in the Tribes favor, after Blinn and Ed monds were walked, Goumey got to first on Fills misplay and Utke and zajac were hit by pitched balls after OToole had famed. Against three hits and eight strikeouts Jab- lonowski had two walks and then two hit batters, all coming in the same inning and showing a lack of control that blew the ball game within a few minutes. Crichton and Chadwick cut off possible scores by two neat fielding plays Score:

NAVY BOAT SET FOR WASHINGTON
Walsh Crew Made CO- favOrite to Win Four
 Mile Race Tuesday

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 2l- (UP) - Coach Charles tBuck) Walsh's Navy varsit was established a 1-2 favorite today with University of Washington's champion huskies on the eve of the 10th rowing of the Intercollegiate Regatta.
 Odds on the moddies dropped from 1-4 despite determined efforts around the Navy camp last week to discount prospects of the varsity eight. Walsh consistently maintained the crew was not yet at its peak and was short of the long distance work SO necessary for building en- durance for the four mile pull up the Hudson tomorrow.
 Most observers feel that Walsh's attitude was to prevent his boys from becoming over-confidcnt, be- cause every other coach on the river agrees that the senior tar boat is in top notch racing condition with the smoothest stroke of any of the seven competing colleges. Walsh agrees with the others that Washington is the crew to beat" but he doesn't want his boat load tabbcd the hope of the cast.

Miss Morgan related, land said she
was so sorry because she had not
meant to disturb any one. She ex-
planned that she had been out with
Mrs. Harry Hoover, with whom she
had been stopping for the last two
weeks, when they discovered they had
locked their keys in the apartment
and slammed the door shut.
Mrs Hoover called me about am
in search of duplicate key, but I told
her I had none. Mrs. Hoover said she
planned to go to hotel for the night.
Mrs Harris said she became separated
from Mrs. Hoover and did not know
what hotel she went to. So she came

A daring attempt to swing across a
courtyard on clothesline to the open
window of a third-floor apartment in
the 1900 block of Fifteenth street end
ed tragically today for Mrs. Lydia
Harris, 24-year-old artist, when the
rope parted and plunged her to a con-
crete pavement IS feet below
Still conscious and smiling gamely,
Mrs. Harris apologized for creating a
disturbance" as she was carried to an
Emergency Hospital ambulance suffer-
ing from fractured hip, possible in
ternal injuries and blood clot under
her scalp.
Confronted with locked apartment
door, no keys, a cold rain outside and
only few coins in her purse, Mrs.
Harris explained, she decided to try
swinging to the open window because
it was too early in the morning to
awaken any one"
Obtaining q clothes line from the
apartment house laundry, Mrs. Harris
climbed to the hall landing between
the fourth and fifth floors and knotted
the rope to guard rail. Then she
descended to the hall window between
the third and fourth floors, caught
the rope, dangling outside, tied it
around her waist and leaped for the
open window diagonally across the
court, but about is feet away.
As soon as the weight Of her body
was placed on the rope it broke. Her
body struck q wooden railing In the
courtyard, which splintered but broke
her fall and probably saved her life.
