was followed by an evening Of bowling
on the estates alleys.
Snow finally fell on the mountains
at Semmering, a drive of an hour and
a half from EnzeSfeld. Thereupon the
duke became an energetic skier. For
time his skis had a way of crossing
and once, when he skidded into tree,
a finger was bruised.
But He's as Human as Ever.
The dukes devotion to sports to the
exclusion of almost all other activities
was, to AuStrians who last year were
encountering him at 4 am, q de.
parture from form. They expected he
would seek out the bright lights, but
he didn't. .s-..,.
In another respect, however, he
lived up to Austrian expectations. He
was, to those who could approach him,
as human as ever. He was still mott
waited by his old curiosity concerning
the lives and troubles of humble folk.
He asked as many questions as ever.
So the Austrians chuckled when
they learned that the duke, smoking Q
30-cent pipe, had teased the Roths-
child gardener, whose pipe cost SITS.
The duke was also himself, in the
opinion of Viennese, when he cross
examined employees of the Diana baths
about every phase of operation.
IF the water comes from the
Danube, why isn't 1t blue?" the duke
demanded to know.

VIENNA, January 30-Viennese
noted today that more serious mood
possibly a fundamental change in
character-has settled down on the
Duke of Windsor.
Vienna first became acquainted with
him as the Prince of Wales. When
he was heir to the. British throne. he
came to Austria for light vaca-
tions. He went skiing at Kitzbuehl,
gladdened proprietorS of night clubs
with his patronage, sang the lifting
Viennese songs. and rewarded dancers
with 100-schilling tips.
Then Vienna saw him as King Ed
ward VIII. Mrs Wallis Simpson was
with him, and again there were rounds
Of merry-making
The Viennese now are observing him
as the Duke of Windsor, the man who
preferred to be beside the woman he
loved than on the throne. Austrian
people, who know a thing or two about
love, welcomed him sympathetically,
and exercised all their vaunted tact
to make him feel at home. But they
welcomed man somehow changed.
No Jazz Now.
This time there was no public dis
play Of hi-jinks. For weeks he re-
mained within the grounds Of the
estate Of Baron Eugene de Rothschild
at Enzesfeld without once demanding
to be shown a jazz band. There were
no expeditions to wine cellars. After
a month of almost complete solitude
he started coming to Vienna OCCASION
ally, but always on sober missions.
He visited his good friend, the ven-
cradle President of Austria, Wilhelm
Miklas. He went to church. He met
his intimates at the British Legation.
and occasionally shopped or patronized
some Of the city's baths.
The dukes chief concern, at the
Rothschild estate, seemed to be to
forget-and to get into the best pos
sible physical trim. 1t had been a
snowless Winter in the vicinity of
Vienna, so the private golf course on
the Rothschild estate remained clear.
Golf1ng promptly became daily part
Of his program. Almost invariably
the duke went capless despite chilly
breezes.
Exercise Began Day.
His activities soon fell into a we'll
defined routine. The days began with
brisk calesthenics. Then a variable
time was devoted to correspondence,
from which 1t became apparent that
the duke was maintaining intimate
contact with Cannes and with London.
There were frequent long distance
telephone calls, so many, in fact, that
. telephone line was set up directly
from the castle to Vienna.

SUGAR EXCISE TAX BAR

Bloc Studies Making Legislation
imperative Unless Farmers
Are Assured Benefits.

By the Associated Press.
Congressional sugar bloc leaders
contemplated today possible legislation
to make any sugar excise tax inoper-
ative unless sugar crop farmers are
assured benefits from the tax yield.
Expecting the administration to
propose a one-half to cent a pound
excise tax on sugar to subsidize grow
ers, Representative Fred Cummings,
Fort Collins, Colo, Democrat, and
chairman of the congressional sugar
bloc, said he had considered the advis-
ability Of attaching protective rider
to such tax legislation.
The rider. he said, would suspend
the tax If Congress failed to appropri-
ate sufficient money to give domestic
sugar crop raisers reasonable benefits.

OF course, Griff did not deSig-

Nor would he say that even the

specifically exhonorated Bump
Hadley in the beaning Of Mickey

Griff rejoiced in the fact that
President Harridge dealt lightly
with Simmons and Knickerboc ecker.
These fights interest crowds, ne
said. Griffith stoutly asserted
that the players would have 20
pay their fines, or the clubs would
be fined $1,000.
But perhaps Simmons will make
a play later in the season that will
call for a bonus. Perhaps Knicker-
booker will do the same thing.

And so it is that very few en-

Middle Atlantic affair. In fact,
only two golfers have posted en-
tries from Virginia clubs, and this
pair resides in the District Of Co

possibility that a few more will
enlist from the Old Dominion
State before starting time tomor-

doubtful.
The Middle Atlantic tourney,
which many believe to be one Of
the outstanding tests Of the year.
has, as a result Of the invitation
play down at Richmond, the
smallest field to compete in years.
Unless IS golfers sign up between
now and tomorrow morning, only
four flights will be lined up for
play.
And now for another tourney,

Nick Tr0nsky
Wins Second
H0n0rS
BY SID KATZNELL

Once more Washington boasts
the foremost duckpin bowler in
the United States. He is Astor
Clarke.
After considerable deliberation,
the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress today named the dapper
Washingtonian the No. / ranking
shooter of the land, picking him
over Nick Tronsky, whose average
was 4.0S higher than Clarke's.
However, the District pin spiller
participated in more league games
than the New Englander. Clarke
averaged q 125-04 for 500 games,
while TronSky showed 1912
mark for 216 games.
Another angle is that all Tron-
.Sky'S games were rolled on New
England alleys, where the pins
fall a bit easier than on the Dis
trict drives. And therefore the
National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress makes an allowance for that
situation when selecting the top
bowlerS at the conclusion OF each
season.
Boasts High Average
The Polish star also lost ground
when his division Of the Indus
trial League did not employ the
foul line system. He rolled the
highest average ever recorded In
the United States in that particu-
Lar circuit, 1929 for 81 games.
But he did not receive any recog-
milton for the feat because OF the
absence Of the foul line judge.
Too bad, TronSky.
Oddly enough, TronSky won the
coveted No. honors last season
with a 12S.138 and Clarke finished
second with a 124.109. The boys
are evidently taking turns.
MILLER SHINES
Johnny Miller, Of Baltimore,
took third laurelS this season with
124.s5 and our own Bill Krauss
walked off with fourth position
with 124.80. Perce Wolfe, Hoke
Smith and Ed Blakeney figured
prominently in the rating. Wolfe,
who makes his home in HyattS-
vile, but who does the majority OF
his league bowling in Washington
was rated the ninth best duckpin-
ner of the country: Smith the
tenth and Blakeney the eleventh.
