In other words, for Whitehill, who will

developing into a major Lacquer despite
three previous failures with the Giants,
Pirates and White Sox.
When Salveson failed to i'm

jokingly was referred to as the

AS far as the Nationals are directly
concerned maybe it was this kind of

STRETCH RALLIES
GET EIGHT GAMES
Harris Team Scores Four
Runs in Ninth to Beat
Bees, 5 to d.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

@Y NOW, with the American
- League season only few days
ahead, it becomes obvious that
~ Manager Bucky Harris has a
pretty fair bunch of stretch run
ners" on his 1887 Washington ball
club. The Nationals held victory No
II of the exhibition campaign today
and, like seven others earned in the
past, they gained it by their ability
to come from behind.
No. II, you know, was won yester-
day at the expense of the Boston Bees
who were leading, to l, when the
Griffs went to bat IN the ninth inning
The customers started for the exits
when, with few well-chosen base
hits, the WaShingtons scored four
runs and wound up with a 5-4 VIC
tory.
This is no new feature. The Griffs
have been doing it all Spring and, al
though these stunts won't count until
Monday, it is encouraging to Harris
to note what appears to be a copy
righted method of winning ball games
Getting off to lead and coaSting to
victory is pleasant. but not the test of
from behind.
Did Trick Eight Times.
THAT Frank Merriwell-novel finish
the Mats staged at the expense of
the Bees yesterday happened to be the
eighth time Washington has won this
way since the Grapefruit League"
opened in Florida 1t was the second
time in as many days that Boston was
beaten thusly, the Mats having tied a
ball game at IL in the ninth inning
on Wednesday and won the affair in
the tenth.
Even the drama of that Garrison
finish was paled, however by the ex-
hibition given when an apparently
hopelessly whipped club reared back
and showed across four runs in the
ninth inning E. and without a single
batter getting out!
In Florida the Mats came from far
behind to beat Baltimore's Orioles,
6-4. They did it against Detroit by
the same score and overhauled Mon
treal one day to win, A. The Cards
were spotted couple runs, only to be
caught and passed. 4-3. The Grifs
did it to Chattanooga, winning, AZ
and, on the northward trip, they
scored three runs in the ninth inning
to down Atlantas Southern Associa-
ton champs, So.
Then, yesterday, they made it two
in row over the Bees and by now it
looks as if they intend to make a habit
of the practice.

clasped a black gown Of sorts

of her stock in trade. Her eyes

behind her. AS she passed up

gushing her fury:
There's a photographer in
the front row making pictures.
How am supposed to work."
The last was yelled back from

unconscious in a bathroom of her
sumptuoUs Park Avenue apart
ment.
PROBE SPURRED
The discovery, following an
autopsy, of the narcotic in large
quantities in the stomach and
other organs, spurred the officers
Of Chief Medical Examiner Thorn
as A. Gonzales into immediate &C
ton. It was said there thorough
investigation would be made
speedily to determine whether any
one beside the maid, Catherine
Burns, was in the apartment when
Miss Warburton took the fatal
dose.
In addition, everyone present al
a genial dinner held in the luxuri-
Gus flat the night before will be
quizzed by police.
The dinner party was in celebra-
ton of the return from Europe Of
Miss Warburton's father, the rich
and widely known Major Barclay
Warburton; her mother, a leading
Palm Beach society figure, and the
heiress' brother, c. Egerton War
burton.
DOCTOR PRESENT
DR.. John H. Morrisey, fashion
able doctor who was Miss War
burton's personal physician, was
present when she died. The orig
inal report that she succumbed
from taking too many reducing
tablets arose from DR.. Morrisey's
belief that death was caused by a
heart attack following strenuous
efforts to lose poundage.
Authorities were puzzled be-
cause DR.. Morrisey had made no
mention of Miss Warburton's tax
ing the narcotic, although he
freely gave them other informa-
tion about her medical history.

IN SPAIN, SEES
HOPE DWINDLING
Dahl Told He Will Have
To Face Court Martial

SALAMANCA, Spain, Sept. 1S
GN.S) Doubt that he will be
able to avoid court martial was
expressed today by Lieut.. Harold
E. Dahl, American airman i'm
prisoned by Spanish insurgents,
following his capture while flying
for the loyalists.
In an interview with Interna-
tional News Service, Dahl said he
fears efforts to release him have
been sidetracked.
IN GOOD CONDITION
Held in Jail here with a large
number of French and Russian
captive airmen, Dahl appeared in
good physical condition. He was
dressed in gray overalls, sandals
and gray striped shirt.
Despite pleas from his lovely,
blonde wife to Gen. Francisco
Franco, insurgent commander,
for his release, Dahl was not in
a hopeful frame of mind. He
said:
II had hoped they would ex-
change me. Now I am told
am going before a court mar.
tial."
Informed that his mother in
Champaign, ILL.,, had appealed to
Secretary of state Cordell Hull
for intercession, Dahl remarked:
what can the American Gov
ernment do? America wants to
keep out of entanglements. We
Americans knew what we were
getting into when we came. I
can't hope for Government in
tervention."
RECEIVES MONEY
A prison official brought Dahl
5000 francs, changed into Spanish
currency, which had been sent
him by his wife at Cannes, France.
The airman animatedly dis
cussed the money owed to him by
the Valencia government and be-
rated his misfortune at being cap
tured by the insurgents. He was
taken prisoner, he said, only IL
days before his resignation from
the loyaliSt air force was to take
effect.
His reasons for joining the 10y
alist forces, he asserted emphati'
cally, were purely financial.
